Release Notes - Hadoop Chukwa - Version 0.7.0

Overall Status

This is the fifth public release of Chukwa, a log analysis framework on top of Hadoop and HBase. Chukwa has been tested at scale and used in some production settings, and is reasonably robust and well behaved. For instructions on setting up Chukwa, see the administration guide and the rest of the Chukwa documentation.

Important Changes Since Last Release
