Dear Sirs! We have uploaded release candidate to https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/ignite/1.6.0-rc1/
This is very important release containing huge amount of fixes and improvements. Over 600 issues were closed since previous release. 8 new modules were added to the project. Tag name is 1.6.0-rc1 1.6.0 changes: Ignite .NET: * Added ability to use Java-based remote filters in continuous queries. * Added AtomicSequence and AtomicReference data structures * Added automatic Java detection: no need for JAVA_HOME * Added java-based continuous query filters * Added LINQ Provider for cache SQL queries * Added native configuration mechanism (C#, app.config, web.config - instead of Spring XML) * Added NuGet distribution * Binaries are now AnyCPU (instead of separate x64/x86) * Java-based services can be called the same way as .NET service are called Ignite C++: * Added Transactions API for C++ client. * Added Date and Timestamp types implementation for C++ client. * Simplified Autotools build process for C++ client. Ignite: * Added ability to get partition 'updateCntr' with continuous query public API. * Added asynchronous execution of ContinuousQuery's remote filter and local listener. * Added backup partitions storing to local store default behavior. * Added cache deadlock detection. * Added Cache Store implementation backed by Cassandra DB. * Added method to get versioned cache entry. * Added ODBC driver for Ignite. * Added support for join timeout while registering local addresses with IP finder in TcpDiscoverySpi. * Added support for JTA transactions via synchronization callback. * Added Web Console for Ignite. * Fixed a bug causing object deserialization when local store is configured for cache. * Fixed a problem with incorrect classloader picked in OSGI environment. * Fixed a race condition when evicted offheap data was not delivered to query engine leading to query timeout. * Fixed an issue in ContinuousQueries that caused missing of notifications. * Fixed background cache partition map exchange not to flood network. * Fixed BinaryContext to honor custom loader set through IgniteConfiguration. * Fixed BinaryObjectOffHeapImpl leak to public code. * Fixed cluster stability with 500+ clients. * Fixed continuous queries to send filter factory instead of filter. * Fixed continuous query deployment in case originating node has left. * Fixed issues with continuous query. * Fixed deadlock in services deployment when Spring is used. * Fixed discovery and node start procedure issues that may cause slowdowns during larger topologies start (>100 nodes). * Fixed eviction policy notification if swap or off heap is enabled and an entry is not loaded during preloading. * Fixed excessive thread stack usage in case of high contention on cache entries. * Fixed execution of Splunk MapReduce jobs on top of Ignite MR. * Fixed GridClosureProcessor internal closures to be deserialized by BinaryMarshaller. * Fixed issue with AWS dependencies. * Fixed java proxies deserialization with optimized marshaller. * Fixed local store behavior at cross cache transactions. * Fixed marshalling of Java collection and maps for BinaryMarshaller. * Fixed memory leak in IgniteH2Indexing. * Fixed NPE during rebalancing. * Fixed NPE in GridMergeIndex. * Fixed OOME when OFFHEAP_TIERED mode is used. * Fixed potential thread starvation during cache rebalancing. * Fixed race condition on load cache on changing topology. * Fixed race in marshalling logic that could arise when several nodes are running on the same host. * Fixed redeployment issues happened with ScanQueries filters. * Fixed service proxy not to make remote call for methods declared in java.lang.Object. * Fixed several ClassNotFoundException in OSGi environment. * Fixed SKIP_STORE flag behavior for transaction entry. * Fixed support for classes with equal simple name for binary marshaller. * Fixed system caches not to use user-defined TransactionConfiguration. * Fixed the issue when CacheStore was updated even if EntryProcessor didn't update an entry. * Fixed thread safety for TcpDiscoveryMulticastIpFinder. * Fixed unintentional deserialization of BinaryObjects in OFFHEAP mode with peer class loading enabled. * Fixed UTF-16 surrogate pairs marshalling. * Fixed value copying in entry processor with OptimizedMarshaller. * Fixed web session clustering with WebLogic. * Hadoop: fixed a bug causing exception during MR planning when input split file doesn't exist. * IGFS: Added configuration flag to disable default path modes under "/ignite" folder. * IGFS: Added pluggable factory interface for Hadoop FileSystem creation. * IGFS: Fixed file properties when running over secondary file system. * IGFS: Fixed issues with Kerberized HDFS. * IGFS: Massive performance and stability fixes. * Improved marshaller behavior during cluster topology change. * Mesos integration: added possibility to load Ignite package from file system. * Optimized cache 'get' operations on affinity node. * Optimized memory usage on server nodes to allow more client connections. * Passed update notifier flag to discovery data to be sure that all cluster nodes have the same notifier status as the first node. * Performance optimization for transactions that do not acquire locks. * ScanQueries over local partitions performance optimisation. * Support of package-private implementations for Ignite Services. * Supported Ignite Compute tasks cancellation for Ignite.NET. * Visor CMD: Added ability to attach custom scripts to alerts. * Web sessions: minor fix to prevent NullPointerException in some special case. * Web sessions: user session classes are no longer needed on server nodes. * A lot of stability and fault-tolerance fixes.
