Hi all,
We have made some updates to Samza, and we would like to make a Samza 1.4
release.
We have been testing some of these changes internally at Linkedin, and we
would like to send this thread for discussion for releasing to open source.
Highlights of the release include improvements to local state management,
improvements to the Samza SQL API, and a new system producer to write to
Azure blob storage, along with some other miscellaneous bug fixes and
clean-up.
A comprehensive list of changes can be found at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20SAMZA%20and%20fixVersion%20in%20(1.4).
Some of the tickets are still open, but the corresponding commits have
already been pushed. If you do have an open ticket that is actually
complete, please close it.
The new release branch has already been cut. The name of the branch is
"1.4.0".
I would like to target a release VOTE email thread to start on February
28th.
Thank you,
Cameron
