Release 0.14.0

[busbey]

follow up from #981. There's already a fair bit of churn on master in the ~9 months since the 0.13.0-staging branch started.

Additionally, we have a good deal of testing work left over that never happened in the 0.13.0 RC process.

[twblamer]

Just curious, what testing work is needed? Is this a matter of manually testing the bindings, the individual features/PRs, or both?

[busbey]

yep! we'll need to test a number of bindings and any specific fixes that are supposed to be present.

The first step is to get a list up of which bindings / features /etc. It's on my todo list, but I've been a bit swamped on a different project lately.

[busbey]

generally speaking, testing a binding should be straight forward. It's essentially:

1. Download RC and build binary bits
2. stand up an instance of whatever backing datastore (cluster deploy optimal, but single-node is fine)
3. follow the README for the specific binding for configuration
4. run the recommended sequence of workloads
5. post results here, with details about versions / sizes / etc.

using either the binding specific tarball or the omnibus is fine, but which one got used should probably be noted in the results.

[busbey]

waiting on these merges:

• [core] Fix ycsb.sh and ycsb.bat missing core dependencies #908
• [cassandra] Update CassandraCQLClient to use PreparedStatement for better performance #1051
• Kudu update #1098
• Update Bigtable client version to 1.3.0 (latest). #1147

[busbey]

merged #908

[busbey]

merged #1098 and #1147 .

looks like folks are in progress on #1051

[busbey]

would like to get #1148 "Update HBase 2 version to 2.0.0 GA" in for polish on the hbase addition

[busbey]

As a reminder, this release needs to cover essentially everything since 0.12.0. So the release notes will end up copying some things from the 0.13.0 release notes (like known incompatibilities)

This list of things to check presumes both #1148 and #1051 will land before I cut the feature branch.

[busbey]

Another modified store I just merged:

• Redis (plain and cluster mode) Redis cluster support #1072

[busbey]

found some headers missing before making the staging branch. put up #1150 to fix it.

[twblamer]

Looks like the two output fixes that were done for 0.13.0 aren't present in master: 88ffdbb and 46933b1

[busbey]

excellent catch!

[busbey]

okay I cherry-pick #1060, #1084, and #1085 to the master branch.
