On behalf of the Spring Data team, I’m pleased to announce the availability of the first milestone of the Moore release train. Notable changes include: Support for Streamable wrappers as query method return types. Additional Kotlin extensions like CrudRepository.findByIdOrNull(…). A Kotlin query DSL for MongoDB (special thanks to Tjeu Kayim) Gemfire & Apache Geode upgrades. Spatial type support for Neo4j. Elasticsearch REST and (initial) reactive client support. Support for Redis Streams. ...and tons of new stuff for Spring Data JDBC. Please find a high-level overview of what has been added in…

The past year has seen a lot of enhancements brought to the NoSQL Store including a bunch of new features and extended capabilities. We collaborated closely with the driver team at MongoDB, so the release already ships with decent support for sessions, change streams, schema validation, and (of course) transactions. The most interesting new feature is probably MongoDB 4.0’s support for Multi-Document Transactions. If you have followed this blog before, you have probably read our Hands on Guide that explains both ClientSessions (which are the main building block) and transactions themselves. In…

With MongoDB 4.0, ACID transactions have arrived in the Document store, enforcing all-or-nothing execution and maintaining data integrity. So, let’s get straight to it by looking at both the synchronous and the reactive execution models. At the time of this writing, MongoDB multi-document transactions are supported across a single replica set and feel like the transactions you are probably familiar with from relational databases. Looking at the driver API, one feels immediately at home: Logical sessions build the foundation for MongoDB’s causal consistency and, of course, transactions, by…

On behalf of the Spring Data team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of the third milestone of the Lovelace release train. This release ships with updates for all store modules that contain new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Notable changes include: Revised documentation. Annotation based auditing for the JDBC module. (DATAJDBC-204) Synchronous and reactive transaction support in preparation for the MongoDB 4.0 release. (DATAMONGO-1920 & DATAMONGO-1970) Reactive Map/Reduce abstractions for MongoDB. (DATAMONGO-1890) Enhancements to the Lucene index support in Spring Data Gemfire…

With the latest Spring Data Lovelace Milestone 2 release, the MongoDB module is stacking up new features that are coming your way in the near future. As you might have followed in the news, MongoDB 4 is going to bring ACID transactions to the Document store. The latest MongoDB 3.6 server release already ships with the main building block for those, client sessions. You can read all about isolation levels and causal consistency in the MongoDB reference. In short, sessions let you execute operations in an order that respects their causal relationships. With Spring Data MongoDB, ClientSession is…

Fine-tuning of the fluent API for MongoDB including a reactive counterpart and aggregation support. Spring…

As we've just shipped the GA release of Spring Data release train Hopper, let's take a deeper look at the changes and features that come with the 13 modules on the train. A very fundamental change in the release train's dependencies is the upgrade to Spring Framework 4.2 (currently 4.2.5) as baseline. This is in preparation for the upcoming 4.3 release of the framework. We also took the chance to upgrade our Querydsl integration to 4.x (currently 4.1) which required some breaking changes in very core abstractions. Besides that, Hopper contains quite a few significant major version changes its…

Over 300 issues fixed across 12 projects makes it pretty hard to keep track on what has happened since the last release. So here's a more detailed excerpt of some of the new features we've been cooking during the last iteration. Ad-hoc JPA fetch graphs. Since the Dijkstra release train we have been able to refer to the named entity graph declared on the entity through the @EntityGraph annotation in JPA-backed repositories. In the example below this forces firstname and lastname to be loaded eagerly, while all others remain lazily loaded. The Gosling release now takes our JPA 2.1 story one step…
