Appendix B. Road Map
HBase is still being heavily developed. Here is a road map of what is planned in the next releases.
HBase 0.92.0
This upcoming version is being called the Coprocessor Release. The planned availability date is Q3 2011. It adds the following major features:
- Coprocessors
Coprocessors represent a major new feature in HBase. Coprocessors enable users to write code that runs within each region, accessing data directly where it resides. See Coprocessors for details.
- Distributed log splitting
The write-ahead log (WAL) is now split completely distributed on all region servers in parallel. This brings HBase on a par with Bigtable.
- Running tasks in the UI

- Performance improvements
Many miscellaneous performance enhancements were added to this release to make it the best performing HBase ever. More than 260 fixes went into 0.92.0 (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE/fixforversion/12314223 for the full list).
