This is the fourth drop of the Cloudera Search public Beta.   This version has bug fixes and adds the following features: Support for Kerberos authentication.

Extended the morphlines library: Added commands xquery, xslt, convertHTML for reading, extracting and transforming XML and HTML with XPath, XQuery and XSLT.

Changed the default to disable quoting and multi-line fields feature and comment line feature for the readCSV morphline command. Morphline integration with the Lily HBase indexer.
