Dear Community, In the last few month the following major features have been added:
- Pluggable storages: ability to choose a specific storage for a table (RocksDB based storage, Page memory persistent and in-memory storage) with some known limitations. - Compute API (A simple remote job execution): The first phase of Compute API design and implementation. Of course, with known limitations. - Data colocation: The colocation key concept replaces the affinity key concept. DDL introduces COLOCATE BY clause. Colocated job execution. - Open API for the Ignite REST endpoints: A Specification to generate a client for any language + auto-generated docs for REST API. - Ignite REPL: The Ignite CLI as a REPL with autocompletion and improved UX. - Cluster lifecycle: It introduces cluster initialization logic and allows to specify cluster management and meta storage groups. Improved node join protocol. - Local and distributed recovery: Now it is possible to restart a cluster/node without data loss. - Data rebalance improvements (in progress and could be excluded from the release), including dynamically changing the number of partition replicas. - Robust client connection with seamless reconnection support and retry policies. - Java API for SQL: A simplified API for executing SQL queries on a cluster. This is an important and interesting milestone and we should share the current state with the broader community. I propose to release 3.0.0 Alpha5 with the features listed above.
