Infinispan triple connector release!
Infinispan Spark, Infinispan Hadoop and Infinispan Kafka have a new fresh release each!
The native Apache Spark connector now supports Infinispan 9.4.x and Spark 2.3.2, and it exposes Infinispan’s new transcoding capabilities, enabling the InfinispanRDD and InfinispanDStream to operate with multiple data formats. For more details see the documentation.
Infinispan Hadoop 0.3
The connector that allows accessing Infinispan using standard Input/OutputFormat interfaces now offers compatibility with Infinispan 9.4.x and has been certified to run with the Hadoop 3.1.1 runtime. For more details about this connector, see the user manual. Also make sure to check the docker based demos: Infinispan + Yarn and Infinispan + Apache Flink.
Last but not least, the Infinispan Kafka connector was upgraded to work with the latest Kafka (2.0.x) and Infinispan releases (9.4.x). Many thanks to Andrea Cosentino for contributing this integration.

Native JSON and Node 8.11 baseline in Node.js client 0.6.0!!
Infinispan Node.js client 0.6.0 is out now!! :)
As well as updating the client so that it understand the latest Hot Rod protocols in Infinispan 9.4.0.Final, this version comes with native JSON object support.
To make the Node.js client backwards compatible, the client still treats key/value pairs as String by default. If you want to use native JSON objects, you have to explicitly configure the Node.js client to do so (see example).
Starting with this version, we’ve upgraded the base Node version requirement to 8.11, which is the latest stable release branch at the time of writing. With such upgrade, the client no longer needs to use external promise dependency which was know to leak.
If you’re a Node.js user and want to store data remotely in Infinispan server instances, please give the client a go and tell us what you think of it via our forum, via our issue tracker or via Zulip on Infinispan channel.
Cheers Galder

Infinispan 9.4.0.Final
10 years of Infinispan
Infinispan is 10 years old this month, and what better way to celebrate than with a brand new Final release !!!
What’s new
Infinispan 9.4 comes with the following new features / improvements:
Segments everywhere 9.3 brought the segmented on-heap memory container. 9.4 extends this to provide the benefits of segmentation to off-heap as well as all of the core cache stores. Watch as your bulk operations (size, iteration, streams) get a big performance boost !
Transcoding everywhere To paraphrase the Grand Moff Tarkin, “The last remnants of Compatibility Mode have been swept away”. Transcoding, i.e. the ability to transparently convert between a number of formats across different endpoints, is now “fully operational”.
Transactions everywhere Hot Rod transactions now support recovery.
Hot Rod client improvements The Hot Rod client has received many improvements:
-
Client-side statistics, complete with JMX support
-
Improvements to the scalability and the behaviour of near-caches
-
All of the configuration can now be supplied via the properties, which also means easier integration with other frameworks, such as Spring Boot.
Query improvements Many cleanups and improvements
Bugfixes, stability, reliability Although not as exciting as new features, we continued our work to improve the stability, reliability and performance of all aspects of Infinispan.
Upgrades:
-
As usual the latest and greatest JGroups 4.0.15
-
The server is now based on WildFly 14

Node.js client 0.5.0 released with improved stability and better OSX integration
Infinispan Node.js client 0.5.0 was released last week. It comes with much improved stability under heavy load conditions and hence it’s a recommended upgrade for any current users.
On top of that, a configuration option called topologyUpdates (true (default) / false) has been added to disable topology updates. This can be useful when trying to access Infinispan server running within a Docker container on MacOs. Without this option to disable topology updates, Node.js client receives internal Docker IP addresses on first contact which cannot be accessed from outside Docker on MacOs. See this previous blog post for more details.
If you’re a Node.js user and want to store data remotely in Infinispan server instances, please give the client a go and tell us what you think of it via our forum, via our issue tracker or via Zulip on Infinispan channel.
Cheers, Galder
