Hi,
I am pleased to announce the much awaited final release of Infinispan 5.2.0. Containing more than 100 features and enhancements and 150 bug fixes [1], this release the sustained effort of engineering, QA and our growing community - a big thanks to everyone involved!
Highlights:
- The non-blocking state transfer[2] which is a much more efficient and flexible implementation of the functionality that allows Infinispan to serve requests during nodes joining/leaving.
- The cross-site replication[3] functionality which allows backing up data between geographically distributed clusters in order to protect against catastrophic failures
- Rolling upgrades[4] of the hotrod clusters (zero downtime for upgrades)
- a handful of fixes[5] and improvements for the Map/Reduce framework
