Good Afternoon Everyone, > > The Apache Gora team are very proud to announce the immediate release of > Gora 0.4 which is a major release for the project. > > The Apache Gora open source framework provides an in-memory data model and > persistence for big data. Gora supports persisting to column stores, key > value stores, document stores and RDBMSs, and analyzing the data with > extensive Apache Hadoop™ MapReduce support. Gora uses the Apache Software > License v2.0. > > This release addresses no fewer than 60 issues. Major improvements within > the release scope comprise a complete upgrade to Apache Avro 1.7.X and > overhaul of the Gora persistency API (such improvements enable Gora to be > used to map much more expressive and complicated data structures than > previously available), upgrades to Apache HBase 0.94.13, Apache Cassandra > 2.0.X and Apache Accumulo 1.5.X. > Users can also benefit from using Gora + Solr for object-to-datastore > mapping with the addition of the new Solr module which uses Solr 4.X. > > Gora sources tar.gz and .zip release artifacts (along with signatures) can > be obtained from visiting our DOWNLOADS [0] page. We also encourage users > to upgrade their build dependencies using our published Maven Artifacts [1]. > > Please redistribute this email to your project mailing list. > > Thanks > Lewis > (on behalf of the Apache Gora team) > > [0] http://gora.apache.org/downloads.html > [1] http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|gora > >
