I must say, the documentation on Ignite is exhaustive and comprehensive, so 
pulling things together was an "embarrassment of riches" experience . Gold

OK...I just sent you editing credentials, and look forward to locking in the

Does that work for you?

Hello, everyone --as promised, below is the draft so far. Here's hoping I 
understood everything correctly 
Kindly note that we'll need to fill in the "@@" under the hood section on v1.8 
(this part can be technical and developer-focused, whilst the rest of the 
document should be tech-lite = understandable for journalists who are geeky but 
not technologists). I'll be happy to provide editing credentials on the 
googledoc to those requesting it.
Do keep in mind that this is not a press release, so the format is different 
from what we're used to (I launched the "Have you met...?" series with 
Mahout[1] back in 2010 to great media interest: coverage within 24 hours). We 
can also work together on establishing a template for you to use for future 
project announcements.
As always, comments/corrections/additions welcome!

The ASF asks: Have you met Apache Ignite?
Since 1999, The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has been recognized as a 
leading source for an array of Open Source software and tools that meet the 
demand for interoperable, adaptable, and sustainable solutions. The 
all-volunteer ASF develops, stewards, and incubates dozens of enterprise-grade 
Open Source projects that power mission-critical applications in financial 
services, aerospace, publishing, government, healthcare, research, 
infrastructure, and more. From Abdera to ZooKeeper, the demand for ASF's 
reliable, community-driven software continues to grow dramatically across many 
categories, including Cloud, IoT, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, 
Mobile, and Big Data, where the Apache Hadoop ecosystem dominates the 
marketplace.
Did you know that numerous Fortune 500 enterprises depend on Apache Ignite’s 
in-memory "Fast Data" platform to process large-scale data sets in real-time, 
at orders of magnitude faster than traditional technologies?
We are pleased to showcase Apache Ignite, the high-performance In-Memory Data 
Fabric that provides in-memory data caching, partitioning, processing, and 
querying components.
Quick peek: Apache Ignite is an integrated and distributed In-Memory Data 
Fabric for computing and transacting on large-scale data sets in real-time, 
orders of magnitude faster than possible with traditional disk-based or flash 
technologies. It is designed to easily power both existing and new applications 
in a distributed, massively parallel architecture on affordable, 
industry-standard hardware.
Background: Originally created at GridGain as its flagship in-memory computing 
(IMC) platform, Ignite entered the Apache Incubator in September 2014 and 
graduated as an Apache Top-Level Project in August 2015.
Why Ignite: Apache Ignite addresses today's Fast Data needs by providing a 
comprehensive in-memory data fabric, which includes a data grid with SQL and 
transactional capabilities, in-memory s

xes, reduced data fetch time, and no delays in a stream 
content processing, among other benefits.
Additionally --and unique to Apache Ignite-- its SQL Grid eliminates the need 
for painful and challenging migration from relational database to in-memory 
data grid (IMDG), alleviating the need for developers to have to rewrite SQL 
based code to IMDG’s native APIs. This means that developers can keep using 
existing applications and tools written for relational databases and based on 
SQL language with very little to no code modification. Ignite SQL Grid is 
horizontally scalable, fault tolerant, and SQL ANSI-99 compliant.
Using Apache Ignite, developers benefit from:

   
   - Data Grid --replicate or partition data in memory within the cluster;
   - In-Memory SQL Grid --add in-memory distributed database capabilities;
   - Advanced Clustering --including logical cluster groups and auto-discover;
   - ODBC Driver --select and modify data stored in a distributed cache;
   - Compute Grid --distribute computations across cluster nodes;
   - Service Grid --cluster-enable any service or data structure;
   - Streaming & CEP --easily stream large volumes of data into Ignite; and
   - Data Structures --distribute own data structure across the cluster.


To solve real-time business issues and meet application requirements for the 
highest performance and scale, Apache Ignite leverages and integrates a host of 
Apache projects including Spark, Hadoop, YARN, and Mesos.
Latest release: Apache Ignite v1.8 on 9 December 2016 under the Apache License 
v.2.0. More details can be found below and in the release notes.

Hi folks --just a quick heads-up that I haven't forgotten about you!
I issued three press releases + the January "Success at Apache" this week, so 
there's been a little extra press activity than usual.
I'm aiming to get the draft to you today...otherwise over the weekend.
I apologize for the delay and thank you for your continued patience.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Ignite 1.8.0 Released

2017-01-11 Thread Andrey Gura 
Hi all

I have a comment about release notes. Transactions deadlock detection
was implemented in Apache Ignite 1.7. But this implementation is
limited by pessimistic transactions only and doesn't support
transactions on near caches.

In Apache Ignite 1.8 release implemented deadlock detection that
supports optimistic transactions and transactions on near caches. It
is useful feature and could be important for transactions users.

Thanks, Denis. Hello, everyone!
Indeed, I think releasing a "highlight" announcement makes sense here, and I'll 
be happy to work with you over the next week or so to get that drafted.
And thanks in advance, Roman Shtykh, for acting as project spokesperson in your

Igniters, PMC members had a talk with Sally Khudairi who represents ASF 
Marketing & Publicity group. Sally, thanks a lot for finding a time to jump on 
the call. 
One of the main topics of the call was our latest 1.8.0 release. It was agreed 
that Sally would help the community to prepare an additional announcement so 
that we can expand awareness of the following features:
   
   - In-Memory SQL Grid. Sally, hope that I could convey the main benefit of 
this feature to you. Just in case, here is my recent blog post [1] where it’s 
explained how PHP users can leverage from this new component.

   
   - Redis protocol support. Roman S., could you find a time and write a blog 
post about it or recount the main benefits that Sally can include in the 
announcement referring to you?

   
   - .NET features. Already well described in this post [2]. Just in case, 
Pavel T. will be able to provide more details if needed.


Also we discussed marketing related activities, issues and approaches related 
to Apache Ignite in general. At the moment community members maintain the 
following sources that increase awareness of Ignite:   
   - Blogs: https://ignite.apache.org/blogs.html
   - News: https://ignite.apache.org/news.html
   - Twitter: https://twitter.com/ApacheIgnite

I will deep dive into this topic the next year relying on you, Igniters, and 
Sally trying to find a way to get all we can from existed channels as well as 
implementing other approaches.

[ANNOUNCE] Apache Ignite 1.8.0 Released

2016-12-13 Thread Denis Magda 
The Apache Ignite Community is pleased to announce the release of Apache Ignite 
1.8.0.

Apache Ignite In-Memory Data Fabric [1] is a high-performance, integrated and 
distributed in-memory platform for computing and transacting on large-scale 
data sets in real-time, orders of magnitude faster than possible with 
traditional disk-based or flash-based technologies.

The Fabric is a collection of independent and well integrated components some 
of which are the following:  
Data Grid
Compute Grid
Streaming & CEP
Service Grid

Starting from version 1.8.0 this list is expanded with a new component named 
In-Memory SQL Grid [2]. In-Memory SQL Grid adds in-memory distributed database 
capabilities to Apache Ignite. It is horizontally scalable, fault tolerant and 
SQL ANSI-99 compliant. SQL Grid fully supports all SQL and DML commands 
including SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, MERGE and DELETE queries. The In-Memory SQL 
Grid allows you to interact with Ignite platform using JDBC or ODBC APIs 
without custom coding. This provides true cross-platform connectivity even from 
languages such as PHP and Ruby which are not natively supported by the project. 
 
Apache Ignite 1.8.0 also includes Redis protocol support and support for .NET 
Entity Framework 2nd Level Cache and ASP.NET Session Caching. The full list of 
the changes can be found here [3].

Please visit this page if you’re ready to try the release out:
https://ignite.apache.org/download.cgi 

Please let us know [4] if you encounter any problems.

Regards,

The Apache Ignite Community
