Hi all,
We have added couple of major features to master since 0.13.1 that warrants a major release. Within LinkedIn, some of these features have already been tested as part of our test suites. We plan to continue our testing in coming weeks to validate the stability prior to release. We wanted to kick off the discussion in open source forum to keep the momentum flowing. Here is the list of features that are part of the new release - SAMZA-1510 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-1510> - Samza SQL - SAMZA-1417 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-1417> - Add support for multistage batch to Samza on Hadoop - SAMZA-1438 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-1438> - Event-hub connectors for Samza We have also worked on stabilizing our 0.13 features. Here are some highlights - SAMZA-1454 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-1454>, SAMZA-1493 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-1493> - Add support for durable state for high level API - SAMZA-1417 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-1417> SAMZA-1330 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-1330> SAMZA-1289 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-1289> - Stabilization of ZooKeeper based deployment model - SAMZA-1471 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-1471>, SAMZA-1392 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-1392>, SAMZA-1465 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-1465> - Performance improvements You can find the concrete list of the features here <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-1505?jql=project%20%3D%20samza%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%200.14.0%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20fixed> .
