Features list for 8.1 is almost done…​ not bad :) Feedbacks, proposals, hints and lines of code are welcome!

Happy New Year, The Infinispan Team

It took us quite a bit to get here, but we’re finally ready to announce Infinispan 9.0.0.Beta1, which comes loaded with a ton of goodies.

Performance improvements

Off-Heap support

CaffeineMap-based bounded data container

Ickle, Infinispan’s new query language

The Server Admin console now supports both Standalone and Domain modes

Pluggable marshallers for Kryo and ProtoStuff

The LevelDB cache store has been replaced with the better-maintained and faster RocksDB 

Spring Session support

Upgraded Spring to 4.3.4.RELEASE

We will be blogging about the above in detail over the coming weeks, including benchmarks and tutorials.

The following improvements were also present in our previous Alpha releases:

Graceful clustered shutdown / restart with persistent state

Support for streaming values over Hot Rod, useful when you are dealing with very large entries

Cloud and Containers

Cache store improvements

Also, our documentation has received a big overhaul and we believe it is vastly superior than before.

There will be one more Beta including further performance improvements as well as additional features, so stay tuned.

Infinispan 9 is codenamed "Ruppaner" in honor of the Konstanz brewery, since many of the improvements of this release have been brewed on the shores of the Bodensee !

Prost!

Dear Infinispan community, I’m glad to announce the Final release of the C++ and C# clients version 8.0.0.

You can find the download on the Infinispan web site:

http://infinispan.org/hotrod-clients/

Major new features for this release are:

plus several minor and internal updates that partially fill the gap between C++/C# and the Java client.

Some posts about the 8 serie of the C++/C# clients have been already published on this blog, you can recall them clicking through the list below.

The equivalent C# examples are collected here:

Enjoy!

After bringing the MongoDB up-to-date a few days ago, this time it’s the turn of the Cloud Cache Store, our JClouds-based store which allows you to use any of the JClouds BlobStore providers to persist your cache data. This includes AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage and Rackspace Cloud Files. In a perfect world this would have been 8.0.0.Final, but Sod’s law rules, so I give you 8.0.1.Final instead :) So head on over to our store download page and try it out.

The actual configuration of the cachestore depends on the provider, so refer to the JClouds documentation. The following is a programmatic example using the "transient" provider:  

And this is how you’d configure it declaratively:

This will work with any Infinispan 8.x release.

Enjoy !

Dear Infinispan community,

We are proud to announce a new micro release of our stable 8.2 branch. Download it here and try it out!

This maintenance release includes a handful of bug fixes and a bonus new feature. If you are using any other 8.x release, we recommend to upgrade to 8.2.4.Final.

Check out the fixed issues, download the release and tell us all about it on the forum, on our issue tracker or on IRC on the #infinispan channel on Freenode.

We are currently busy working on the upcoming beta release of the 9.0 stream.

Cheers, The Infinispan team

In the storm of the persistence SPI rework that happened during Infinispan 6.0, the MongoDB cache store, among others, was left in a state of semi-abandonment for a long time.

Fortunately a few brave souls came to its rescue and have breathed new life into it so that it can be used with Infinispan 8.x

In particular I wish to thank Kurt Lehrke for doing most of the work !!!

Get it from the dedicated cache store download page.

Dear Infinispan users,

I am glad to announce that we have released 9.0.0.Alpha4 for you!

A brand new Alpha release from our development branch: 9.0.0.Alpha4 has a slew of bug fixes, and some more enhancements, among which we single out: transactional JDBC cache store and Kubernetes PING support.  We also have added quite a bit of documentation around querying to help users better understand how to use it.

Download it now, try it and tell us what you think on the infinispan forums or come and meet us on IRC: channel #infinispan on Freenode.
