Good Afternoon Everyone, The Apache Gora team are very proud to announce the immediate release of Gora 0.4 which is a major release for the project.
The Apache Gora open source framework provides an in-memory data model and persistence for big data. Gora supports persisting to column stores, key value stores, document stores and RDBMSs, and analyzing the data with extensive Apache Hadoop™ MapReduce support. Gora uses the Apache Software License v2.0. This release addresses no fewer than 60 issues. Major improvements within the release scope comprise a complete upgrade to Apache Avro 1.7.X and overhaul of the Gora persistency API (such improvements enable Gora to be used to map much more expressive and complicated data structures than previously available), upgrades to Apache HBase 0.94.13, Apache Cassandra 2.0.X and Apache Accumulo 1.5.X. Users can also benefit from using Gora + Solr for object-to-datastore mapping with the addition of the new Solr module which uses Solr 4.X. Gora sources tar.gz and .zip release artifacts (along with signatures) can be obtained from visiting our DOWNLOADS [0] page. We also encourage users to upgrade their build dependencies using our published Maven Artifacts [1]. Please redistribute this email to your project mailing list.
