I am pleased to announce the donation of additional GemFire client drivers to the Geode community. This source code donation includes a C++ client and a .NET client.
The C++ client allows an application to connect to a cluster using intelligent network routing for low latency reads and writes. The C++ client can additionally cache data locally and receive update notifications or register continuous queries. The .NET client wraps the C++ libraries and enables .NET applications to be written for Geode. Both of these clients are functionally equivalatent to the already donated Java client for Geode. The Software Grant Agreement for this code has been accepted by the ASF secretary. The donated code currently sits in a separate branch in the Geode repository named native-client-software-grant [1] and is awaiting community review. I encourage everyone in the Geode community to review this donation and provide feedback. In particular your input on build improvements would be really helpful. Once the community has reached a consensus we can determine next steps and how this code might get merged into the develop branch [2] so that all users can access these features. Your suggestions are most welcome! Thanks, Anthony [1] https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-geode.git;a=tree;f=geode-client-native;h=0fd3464f85be2dba96ad1c2692b4bc28b1df1d64;hb=refs/heads/native-client-software-grant [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-1416
