The HBase team is happy to announce the immediate availability of Apache
HBase 1.2.5.

Apache HBase is an open-source, distributed, versioned, non-relational
database. Apache HBase gives you low latency random access to billions of
rows with millions of columns atop non-specialized hardware. To learn more
about HBase, see https://hbase.apache.org/.

HBase 1.2.5 is the latest maintenance release in the HBase 1.2 line,
continuing on the theme of bringing a stable, reliable database to the
Hadoop and NoSQL communities. This release includes over 50 resolved issues
since the 1.2.4 release.

Incompatibilities:

* HBASE-17725 There is an incompatible change to the LimitedPrivate API
              'RpcServiceInterface'. Apache Phoenix is not impacted.


Critical fixes include:

* HBASE-17069 RegionServer writes invalid META entries for split daughters
              in some circumstances
* HBASE-17044 Fix merge failed before creating merged region leaves meta
              inconsistent
* HBASE-17206 FSHLog may roll a new writer successfully with unflushed
              entries
* HBASE-16765 New SteppingRegionSplitPolicy, avoid too aggressive spread of
              regions for small tables.
