Hello Everybody,

Here is a list of major changes:

• Cassandra

  • Cassandra 3.0.9 is now the supported version of Cassandra.
  • Note: this is a rollback from previously supported version of 3.7 due to Cassandra community recommendations for stability and production deployment. Cassandra 3.7 or 3.9 are still compatible but development and testing use 3.0.9 release.

• Compression

  • Fixed an issue that allowed duplicate instances of the compression job to get scheduled on server restart (HWKMETRICS-492)
  • Improved the fault tolerance of the compression job (HWKMETRICS-494)
  • Improved the performance of the merge process for reading compressed data (HWKMETRICS-488)
  • Fixed wrong ordering when fetching compressed and uncompressed data (HWKMETRICS-506)
  • Compression job provides back pressure (HWKMETRICS-500)
  • The job scheduler now handles failure scenarios (HWKMETRICS-505)

• Cassandra Schema

  • Fixed an issue where the server can fail to start due to Cassalog being in inconsistent state (HWKMETRICS-495)
  • gc_grace_second is set to zero for single node clusters (HWKMETRICS-381)

• API Updates

  • Inserting data points has server side retries to increase the fault tolerance for simple error scenarios (HWKMETRICS-510)
  • fromEarliest parameter is now supported in all query endpoints (HWKMETRICS-445)

• Configuration

  • The configuration options did not have a consistent naming scheme. hawkular-metrics, hawkular.metrics, and hawkular prefixes were used along no prefixes.
  • In this release the naming schema has been standardized to hawkular.metrics.* for metrics specific configuration and hawkular.* for general configuration.
  • Here is list of all configuration options currently available: ConfigurationKey
