Release notes

Release Integrity

You must verify the integrity of the downloaded files. We provide OpenPGP signatures for every release file. This signature should be matched against the KEYS file which contains the OpenPGP keys of BookKeeper's Release Managers. We also provide SHA-512 checksums for every release file. After you download the file, you should calculate a checksum for your download, and make sure it is the same as ours.

If you want to download older, archived releases, they are available in the Apache archive.

Getting Started

Once you've downloaded a BookKeeper release, instructions on getting up and running with a standalone cluster that you can run your laptop can be found in Run BookKeeper locally.

If you need to connect to an existing BookKeeper cluster using an officially supported client, see client docs for these languages:
