HBase 2.0.4 is the fourth maintenance release in the HBase 2.0 line,
continuing on the theme of bringing a stable, reliable database to
the Hadoop and NoSQL communities. It fixes a critical issue found
in the recent 2.0.3 and 2.1.1 releases (only), HBASE-21551. 2.0.4
includes ~12 bug and improvement fixes done since the 2.0.3,
two weeks ago.
