The Apache Calcite team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Calcite Avatica 1.8.0.
Avatica is a framework for building database drivers. Avatica defines a
wire API and serialization mechanism for clients to communicate with a
server as a proxy to a database. The reference Avatica client and server
are implemented in Java and communicate over HTTP. Avatica is a
sub-project of Apache Calcite
The 1.8.0 release continues the focus on compatibility with previous
versions while also adding support for authentication between Avatica
client and server. Performance, notably on the write-path, is also a
major area of improvement in this release, increasing as much as two to
three times over previous versions via the addition of new API support.
The documentation for both users and developers also continues to
receive improvements.
