Igniters, Looks like 2.0 will be slightly delayed since the community requires more time to make the new page memory architecture faster. At the same time we have a plenty of bug fixes and performance improvements that were merged or close to be merged into the master and ready to be released.
I propose to release all the changes we have in 1.9 close to the end of February. According to the dev list discussions, we will be ready to release performance optimizations done by Yakov and Sam close to the end of 2016 and many SQL improvements driven by multiple folks. In addition, this is what we might expect in 1.9: - SQL execution over specific partitions (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4523 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4523>). Alexey Scherbakov. - Spark version upgrade (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-3710 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-3710>). Anton V. - Spark RDD Examples (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4526 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4526>). Manish Mishra. - Rocket MQ data streamer (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4539 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4539>). Roman Shtykh. - Hibernate 5 support (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-1794 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-1794>).

Pavel Tupitsyn. - .NET Transaction Scope API (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-3430 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-3430>). Pavel Tupitsyn. - C++ Continuous queries (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-1443 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-1443>). Igor Sapego. - Kubernetes Support (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4159 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4159>). Denis Magda. - JDBC batch mode for DML (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4269 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4269>). Alexander Paschenko. - Benchmarks automation (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4212 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4212>). Oleg Ostanin. Guys, please confirm that you will be able to complete listed tasks by the middle or by 20th of February. Anything else that is not in the list? BTW, is there anyone who can take a role of the release manager for 1.9? — Denis
