   * Tablet servers now consider the health of all replicas of a tablet before
     deciding to evict one. This can improve stability of the Kudu cluster after
  -  experiencing multiple simultaneous daemon failures.

   * Several performance improvements have been made to the Kudu master,
     particularly in concurrency of clients opening tables. This should improve
     performance in highly concurrent workloads.
   
   * The on-disk size metric for a tablet now includes all data and metadata.
  -  Previously, it excluded WAL segments and consensus metadata.

   * Added verbose mode for the 'kudu cluster ksck' command to enable output
     of detailed information on the cluster's metadata, even when no errors are
  
positive.code: 
  * Kudu may now be configured to ignore system-wide auth_to_local mappings
    configured in /etc/krb5.conf by setting the configuration flag
    `--use_system_auth_to_local=false`.

  * The performance of the compaction scheduler has been improved. In
    previous versions, certain types of time series workloads were found to
  
negative.code: == Fixed Issues
  
  * HybridTime timestamp propagation now works in the Java client when using scan
    tokens (see link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1411[KUDU-1411]).
  
  * Fixed an error message commonly found in tablet server logs indicating that
    operations were being read "from the future"
    (see link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1078[KUDU-1078]).
  
  * Tombstoned tablets no longer report metrics
    (see link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-2044[KUDU-2044]).
  
  * Fixed a bug in the C++ client which could cause tablets to be erroneously
    pruned, or skipped, during certain scans, resulting in fewer results than
    expected being returned from queries. The bug only affected tables whose range
    partition columns are a proper prefix of the primary key
    (see link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-2173[KUDU-2173]).
  
  * Published Kudu Java artifacts are now fully compatible with JRE 7 and JRE 8.
    There was previously a bug in the release process which made them compatible
    only with JRE 8
    (see link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-2188[KUDU-2188]).
  
  * Fixed a typo in the list of default TLS ciphers used by Kudu servers. As a
    result, two additional cipher suites are now available:
