Note: This beta release is a work-in-progress. For the latest stable release of java-bigtable-hbase, please refer to version 1.25.0.

This is the first beta release of Bigtable HBase 2.0.0. The main focus of Bigtable Hbase 2.0.0 is to migrate the internals from bigtable-client-core to java-bigtable.
The primary difference from alpha is that bigtable-client-core has been completely removed and CloudBigtableIO has been migrated as well.
This release will remove the configuration available in alpha to switch between the core Bigtable layer (bigtable-client-core) and the java-bigtable client library, and will only use the java-bigtable client to connect to the Bigtable API.

We look forward to hearing your feedback! Please let us know any comments or issues in our issue tracker.
