The Apache Kudu team is happy to announce the release of Kudu 1.2.0. Kudu is an open source storage engine for structured data which supports low-latency random access together with efficient analytical access patterns. It is designed within the context of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem and supports many integrations with other data analytics projects both inside and outside of the Apache Software Foundation.
The new release adds several new features and improvements, including: - User data such as row contents is now redacted from logging statements. - Kudu's ability to provide strong consistency guarantees has been substantially improved. - Various performance improvements in metadata management as well as optimizations for BITSHUFFLE encoding on AVX2-capable hosts. Additionally, 1.2.0 fixes a number of important bugs, including: - Kudu now automatically limits its usage of file descriptors, preventing crashes due to ulimit exhaustion. - Fixed a long-standing issue which could cause ext4 file system corruption on RHEL 6. - Fixed a disk space leak. - Several fixes for correctness in various edge cases. The above list of changes is non-exhaustive.
