We are pleased to announce the Spring for Apache Hadoop 2.5.0 GA release.

The 2.5 version is primarily a bug fix and version upgrade release.

See the release changelog for details.

We continue to provide version specific artifacts with their respective transitive dependencies in the Spring IO milestone repository:

• 2.5.0.RC1 (default - Apache Hadoop stable 2.7.3)
• 2.5.0.RC1-cdh5 (Cloudera CDH 5.10)
• 2.5.0.RC1-hdp26 (Hortonworks HDP 2.6)

We discussed the future of the Spring for Apache Hadoop Project in the 2.5.0 RC1 announcement.

Please provide feedback so we can prioritize the work on new features scheduled for 3.0. You can use JIRA issues or GitHub issues (see project page for links).
