Release version 0.9.0

Folks,

I will create the release staging branch for 0.9.0 after EOD today (5pm 05/04 PDT), whatever is in Main before that point will be included in 0.9.0.

If you have pending PRs that would like to make it to the 0.9.0 release, please get it in by today. If you believe the release needs to be postponed for certain reason, please feel free to comment on this thread and we'd be happy to discuss.

My next update to this thread will provide a list of features in this release, specific plans for testing, and timeline.

@busbey: FYI.

[metatype]

Tested geode:

• Followed instructions in geode/README.md to start up a geode cluster
• Ran workloads a-d,f successfully

LGTM. Let me know if you need further testing.

[daschl]

Couchbase2 is good to go :)

[gse89]

Riak KV good to go 😄 👍 !

[busbey]

#684 and #693 were in 0.8.0.

#721 should be called out as a breaking change.

[busbey]

#692 was also in 0.8.0

Thanks @busbey. Updated my release notes in the first comment to reflect what you said.

BTW, I used "git log 0.8.0.." to find all PRs that were made after the 0.8.0 tag, and that output shows those 3 PRs you mentioned above...

[yuyantingzero]

googledatastore good to go

[cmatser]

@stfeng I believe I cherry picked those PRs after the 0.8.0 tag as they were fixes that came out of testing the inital release candidate.

[jdcryans]

+1
I downloaded RC1, mvn package'd it, ran it against a Kudu 0.8.0 cluster, all good.

[manolama]

@stfeng Confirmed asynchbase and googlebigtable from the tarball. Thanks!

Wow, this is some seriously fast turnaround! ;) Thank you all!

@jasontedor - would you mind do a quick sanity check on ElasticSearch?

@busbey Could you please do a pass on Windows?
