 title: Apache BookKeeper 4.5.0 Release Notes
 ---
 
-[provide a summary of this release]
+This is the fifth release of BookKeeper as an Apache Top Level Project!
+
+The 4.5.0 release incorporates hundreds of new fixes, improvements, and 
features since previous major release, 4.4.0,
+which was released over a year ago. It is a big milestone in Apache BookKeeper 
community, converging from three
+main branches (Salesforce, Twitter and Yahoo).
 
 Apache BookKeeper users are encouraged to upgrade to 4.5.0. The technical 
details of this release are summarized
 below.
 
 ## Highlights
 
-[List the highlights]
+The main features in 4.5.0 cover are around following areas:
+
+- Dependencies Upgrade
+- Security
+- Public API
+- Performance
+- Operations
+
+### Dependencies Upgrade
+
+Here is a list of dependencies upgraded in 4.5.0:
+
+- Moved the developement from Java 7 to Java 8.
+- Upgrade Protobuf to `2.6`.
+- Upgrade ZooKeeper from `3.4` to `3.5`.
+- Upgrade Netty to `4.1`.
+- Upgrade Guava to `20.0`.
+- Upgrade SLF4J to `1.7.25`.
+- Upgrade Codahale to `3.1.0`.
+
+### Security
+
+Prior to this release, Apache BookKeeper only supports simple `DIGEST-MD5` 
type authentication.
+
+With this release of Apache BookKeeper, a number of feature are introduced 
that can be used, together of separately,
+to secure a BookKeeper cluster.
+
+The following security features are currently supported.
+
+- Authentication of connections to bookies from clients, using either `TLS` or 
`SASL (Kerberos).
+- Authentication of connections from clients, bookies, autorecovery daemons to 
`ZooKeeper`, when using zookeeper
+    based ledger managers.
+- Encryption of data transferred between bookies and clients, between bookies 
and autorecovery daemons using `TLS`.
+
+It's worth noting that those security features are optional - non-secured 
clusters are supported, as well as a mix
+of authenticated, unauthenticated, encrypted and non-encrypted clients.
+
+For more details, have a look at [BookKeeper 
Security](../../security/overview).
+
+### Public API
+
+There are multiple new client features introduced in 4.5.0.
+
+#### LedgerHandleAdv
+
+The [Ledger API] is the low level API provides by BookKeeper for interacting 
with `ledgers` in a bookkeeper cluster.
+It is simple but not flexible on ledger id or entry id generation. Apache 
BookKeeper introduces `LedgerHandleAdv`
+as an extension of existing `LedgerHandle` for advanced usage. The new 
`LedgerHandleAdv` allows applications providing
+its own `ledger-id` and assigning `entry-id` on adding entries.
+
+See [Ledger Advanced API](../../api/ledger-adv-api) for more details.
+
+#### Long Poll
+
+`Long Poll` is a main feature that [DistributedLog](https://distributedlog.io) 
uses to achieve low-latency tailing.
+This big feature has been merged back in 4.5.0 and available to BookKeeper 
users.
+
+This feature includes two main changes, one is `LastAddConfirmed` piggyback, 
while the other one is a new `long poll` read API.
+
+The first change piggyback the latest `LastAddConfirm` along with the read 
response, so your `LastAddConfirmed` will be automatically advanced
+when your read traffic continues. It significantly reduces the traffic to 
explicitly polling `LastAddConfirmed` and hence reduces the end-to-end latency.
+
+The second change provides a new `long poll` read API, allowing tailing-reads 
without polling `LastAddConfirmed` everytime after readers exhaust known 
entries.
+Although `long poll` API brings great latency improvements on tailing reads, 
it is still a very low-level primitive.
+It is still recommended to use high level API (e.g. [DistributedLog 
API](../../api/distributedlog-api)) for tailing and streaming use cases.
+
+See [Streaming 
Reads](https://distributedlog.incubator.apache.org/docs/latest/user_guide/design/main.html#streaming-reads)
 for more details.
+
+#### Explicit LAC
+
+Prior to 4.5.0, the `LAC` is only advanced when subsequent entries are added. 
If there is no subsequent entries added,
+the last entry written will not be visible to readers until the ledger is 
closed. High-level client (e.g. DistributedLog) or applications
+has to work around this by writing some sort of `control records` to advance 
`LAC`.
+
+In 4.5.0, a new `explicit lac` feature is introduced to periodically advance 
`LAC` if there are not subsequent entries added. This feature
+can be enabled by setting `explicitLacInterval` to a positive value.
+
+### Performance
+
+There are a lot for performance related bug fixes and improvements in 4.5.0. 
These changes includes:
+
+- Upgraded netty from 3.x to 4.x to leverage buffer pooling and reduce memory 
copies.
+- Moved developement from Java 7 to Java 8 to take advantage of Java 8 
features.
+- A lot of improvements around scheduling and threading on `bookies`.
+- Delay ensemble change to improve tail latency.
+- Parallel ledger recovery to improve the recovery speed.
+- ...
+
+We outlined following four changes as below. For a complete list of 
performance improvements, please checkout the `full list of changes` at the end.
+
+#### Netty 4 Upgrade
+
+The major performance improvement introduced in 4.5.0, is upgrading netty from 
3.x to [4.x](http://netty.io/wiki/new-and-noteworthy-in-4.0.html).
+
+For more details, please read [upgrade guide](../../admin/upgrade) about the 
netty related tips when upgrading bookkeeper from 4.4.0 to 4.5.0.
+
+#### Delay Ensemble Change
+
+`Ensemble Change` is a feature that Apache BookKeeper uses to achieve high 
availability. However it is an expensive metadata operation.
+Especially when Apache BookKeeper is deployed in a multiple data-centers 
environment, losing a data center will cause churn of metadata
+operations due to ensemble changes. `Delay Ensemble Change` is introduced in 
4.5.0 to overcome this problem. Enabling this feature means
+an `Ensemble Change` will only occur when clients can't receive enough valid 
responses to satisfy `ack-quorum` constraint. This feature
+improves the tail latency.
+
+To enable this feature, please set `delayEnsembleChange` to `true` on your 
clients.
+
+#### Parallel Ledger Recovery
+
+BookKeeper clients recovers entries one-by-one during ledger recovery. If a 
ledger has very large volumn of traffic, it will have
+large number of entries to recover when client failures occur. BookKeeper 
introduces `parallel ledger recovery` in 4.5.0 to allow
+batch recovery to improve ledger recovery speed.
+
+To enable this feature, please set `enableParallelRecoveryRead` to `true` on 
your clients. You can also set `recoveryReadBatchSize`
+to control the batch size of recovery read.
+
+#### Multiple Journals
+
+Prior to 4.5.0, bookies are only allowed to configure one journal device. If 
you want to have high write bandwidth, you can raid multiple
+disks into one device and mount that device for jouranl directory. However 
because there is only one journal thread, this approach doesn't
+actually improve the write bandwidth.
+
+BookKeeper introduces multiple journal directories support in 4.5.0. Users can 
configure multiple devices for journal directories.
+
+To enable this feature, please use `journalDirectories` rather than 
`journalDirectory`.
+
+### Operations
+
+#### LongHierarchicalLedgerManager
+
+Apache BookKeeper supports pluggable metadata store. By default, it uses 
Apache ZooKeeper as its metadata store. Among the zookeeper-based
+ledger manager implementations, `HierarchicalLedgerManager` is the most 
popular and widely adopted ledger manager. However it has a major
+limitation, which it assumes `ledger-id` is a 32-bits integer. It limits the 
number of ledgers to `2^32`.
+
+`LongHierarchicalLedgerManager` is introduced to overcome this limitation.
+
+See [Ledger Manager](../../getting-started/concepts/#ledger-manager) for more 
details.
+
+#### Weight-based placement policy
+
+`Rack-Aware` and `Region-Aware` placement polices are the two available 
placement policies in BookKeeper client. It places ensembles based
+on users' configured network topology. However they both assume that all nodes 
are equal. `weight-based` placement is introduced in 4.5.0 to
+improve the existing placement polices. `weight-based` placement was not built 
as separated polices. It is built in the existing placement policies.
+If you are using `Rack-Aware` or `Region-Aware`, you can simply enable 
`weight-based` placement by setting `diskWeightBasedPlacementEnabled` to `true`.
+
+#### Customized Ledger Metadata
+
+A `Map<String, byte[]>` is introduced in ledger metadata in 4.5.0. Clients now 
are allowed to pass in a key/value map when creating ledgers.
+This customized ledger metadata can be later on used by user defined placement 
policy. This extends the flexibility of bookkeeper API.
+
+#### Add Prometheus stats provider
+
+A new [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) [stats 
provider](https://github.com/apache/bookkeeper/tree/master/bookkeeper-stats-providers/prometheus-metrics-provider)
+is introduce in 4.5.0. It simplies the metric collection when running 
bookkeeper on [kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/).
+
+#### Add more tools in BookieShell
+
+`BookieShell` is the tool provided by Apache BooKeeper to operate clusters. 
There are multiple importants tools introduced in 4.5.0, for example, 
`decommissionbookie`,
+`expandstorage`, `lostbookierecoverydelay`, `triggeraudit`.
+
+For the complete list of commands in `BookieShell`, please read [BookKeeper 
CLI tool reference](../../reference/cli).
