<p><strong>DRAFT 1.6.0 RELEASE NOTES</strong></p>
<p>Apache Accumulo 1.6.0 adds some major new features and fixes many bugs.
This release contains changes from 609 issues contributed by 36 contributors
and committers. </p>
<p>Accumulo 1.6.0 runs on Hadoop 1, however Hadoop 2 with HA namenode is
recommended for production systems. In addition to HA, Hadoop 2 also offers
better data durability guarantees, in the case when nodes lose power, than
Hadoop 1.</p>

<h3 id="viewfs">ViewFS</h3>
<p>Multiple bug-fixes were made to support running Accumulo over multiple HDFS
instances using ViewFS. <a
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2047"; title="Failures
using viewfs with multiple namenodes">ACCUMULO-2047</a> is the parent
ticket that contains numerous fixes to enable this support.</p>
+<h3 id="maven-plugin">Maven Plugin</h3>
+<p>This version of Accumulo is accompanied by a new maven plugin for testing
client apps (<a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1030";
title="Create a Maven plugin to run MiniAccumuloCluster for integration
testing">ACCUMULO-1030</a>). You can execute the accumulo-maven-plugin inside
your project by adding the following to your pom.xml's build plugins
section:</p>

+<p>This plugin is designed to work in conjunction with the
maven-failsafe-plugin. A small test instance of Accumulo will run during the
pre-integration-test phase of the Maven build lifecycle, and will be stopped in
the post-integration-test phase. Your integration tests, executed by
maven-failsafe-plugin can access this instance with a MiniAccumuloInstance
connector (the plugin uses MiniAccumuloInstance, internally), as in the
following example:</p>

+<p>This plugin is quite limited, currently only supporting an instance name
and a root user password as configuration parameters. Improvements are expected
in future releases, so feedback is welcome and appreciated (file bugs/requests
under the "maven-plugin" component in the Accumulo JIRA).</p>
<h3 id="packaging">Packaging</h3>
<p>One notable change that was made to the binary tarball is the purposeful
omission of a pre-built copy of the Accumulo "native map" library.
This shared library is used at ingest time to implement an off-JVM-heap sorted
map that greatly increases ingest throughput while side-stepping
