[Hawkular-dev] Hawkular 0.3.2 & Beyond - Release Planning

[Stefan Negrea]

Hello Everybody,


Here is a list of major features and enhancements planned for 0.3.2 and beyond:

1) REST API - the end-points will be separated based on the metric type. Current availability and numeric, will be joined by counter and gauges metrics.

2) Counters and gauges - add two new specialized metric types to allow more flexibility for clients.

3) Numeric Aggregates - Will allow long-term storage of numeric metrics at the expense of losing some fidelity. The design is already in progress. Because this is a really complex feature, the expectation is to start the work in 0.3.2 and publish a mini-roadmap.

4) Enhanced Availability - while the current model works, the goal would be expand this to cover most of the use cases brought up in the community threads. We will start the design in 0.3.2 with the implementation expected in future releases.

4) Go client - will help integrating with third party metrics collection framework. This work is the foundation for the Heapster sink.

5) Public Java API - following the work done in 0.3.1 in the core of the project, the goal is to separate the implementation from a public API and make that available to clients

6) Update REST testing - the current set of tests is a good gauge for regressions, but the overall coverage is still low. The plan for 0.3.2 is to increase coverage.
