OK, i've broke kudu building when replaced all 0.6.0 with 0.7.0. Fix in the gh-544

[bigbes]

I've tested memcached bindings on version 1.4.24 and basic workloads - everything works fine.
Tarantool bindings are broken

[bigbes]

Fixes for Tarantool bindings are in gh-545

[bigbes]

Redis is tested - everything works fine for me.

I should be able to test windows early this week. It'll be on windows 10 this time instead of 7 if that matters to anyone.

[busbey]

my windows build environment is ready to go now, whenever an release candidate is ready.

[busbey]

have an expected schedule for 0.6.0-RC1? I'm trying to plan out when I can test windows support this week.

[bigbes]

@busbey I'm sorry for delay, it was a hell of a week.
RC1 is out: https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/releases/tag/0.6.0-RC1

I tested cassandra2-cql on Cassandra 2.0 and 2.1 and things look good.

Also tested jdbc on MySQL, looks good.

[busbey]

#561 should get cherry picked to the 0.6.0 release branch.

windows works on RC1
