Infinispan 8.0.0.Alpha2

Dear Infinispan community,

it is with great pleasure that we are announcing the release of Infinispan 8.0.0.Alpha2 as we continue forward.

This release brings a few very useful features:

second batch for size-based eviction: sized based eviction has been updated to work when storeAsBinary is enabled or if the cache only contains primitive wrapper types (Integer, Long.. etc), Strings or byte[].
entry iterator over HotRod: it is now possible to iterate over all the entries in a cache even in distributed mode using HotRod. This provides full consistency guarantees under a rehash event (node goes up or down) and batches data to help prevent memory issues on the client.
non-indexed query over indexed cache with compatiblity
first batch for infinispan core threading changes: we are improving our thread utilization significantly with the 8.0 release cycle and we already have reduced transport thread usage and added a configurable thread pool for async operations to prevent internal thread pool exhaustion. There will be even more enhancements for this in future releases!
and many many bugfixes, consult our issue tracker for a list of things we have fixed.

Don’t forget to also check-out our roadmap to see the things we plan to get done during the 8.0 cycle.
