The Apache Apex community is pleased to announce release 3.4.0 (Apex Core).
This is the first release after graduation. It adds the support for (anti-)affinity of operators, several documentation and other improvements and important bug fixes. The release has 63 resolved JIRAs. There is a backward incompatible change necessary to address a security issue of a 3rd party library. Applications that use WebSockeInputOperator and WebSocketOutputOperator or any derivative of these two classes on 3.3.x or below will need to recompile against the upcoming Apex Malhar 3.4.0 release to run on Apex Core 3.4.x. Changes: https://github.com/apache/incubator-apex-core/blob/v3.4.0/CHANGELOG.md Apache Apex is an enterprise grade native YARN big data-in-motion platform that unifies stream and batch processing. Apex was built for scalability and low-latency processing, high availability and operability. Apache Apex is Java based and strives to ease application development on a platform that takes care of aspects such as stateful fault tolerance, partitioning, processing guarantees, buffering and synchronization, auto-scaling etc. Apex comes with Malhar, a rich library of pre-built operators, including adapters that integrate with existing technologies as sources and destinations, like message buses, databases, files or social media feeds.
