We are pleased to announce the Spring for Apache Hadoop 2.0 M5 milestone releases. We are moving closer to a release candidate, so this is a good time to highlight what is new in this 2.0 version and how it compares to 1.0. Spring for Apache Hadoop 1.0 primarily targets using HDFS and MapReduce with either MapReduce v1 or MapReduce v2 (YARN). The default distribution is Apache Hadoop 1.2.1 with additional "flavors" provided for other distributions: Hadoop 2.2.0, Pivotal HD 1.1, Cloudera CDH4 MR1 or MR2 YARN and Hortonworks HDP 1.3. The main focus for Spring for Apache Hadoop 2.0 is to add YARN…
We are happy to announce the Spring for Apache Hadoop 1.0.2 GA and 2.0 M2 milestone releases. Both of these releases provide bug fixes, upgraded Spring project versions and support for the new Pivotal HD 1.1 release. The 1.0.2 release adds support for the new Hadoop 2.2 stable release. The 2.0.0.M2 release provides support for CDH4 YARN clusters and an improved implementation for the HdfsResourceLoader (this implementation will be back-ported to the next 1.0.3 GA release). We continue to provide version specific artifacts with their respective transitive dependencies in the Spring IO milestone…
We are happy to announce a new release candidate 1.0.1.RC1 for the Spring for Apache Hadoop project. This release candidate introduces support for Apache Hadoop 1.1.2, Hortonworks HDP 1.2, Apache Hadoop 2.0.3-alpha as well as support for Pivotal HD 1.0. The support for these versions are in addition to the already supported versions of Apache Hadoop 1.0.4 and Cloudera CDH 3 and CDH 4. This brings us to support for no less than 7 different Hadoop versions. To make it easier to configure project builds using these varying versions we will be introducing specific flavors of the Maven artifacts…
Dear Spring Community, We are pleased to announce the availability of the 1.0 GA release of the Spring Data JDBC Extensions project providing Querydsl and advanced Oracle Database support! The Spring Data JDBC Extensions project was created to provide additional support for vendor specific JDBC extensions as well as new approaches to working with JDBC like Querydsl. The bulk of the support consists of code ported from the SpringSource project "Advanced Pack for Oracle Database" that was available for support subscription customers. We are now making this code available to all Spring users and…

We saw in the previous blog post Using Cloud Foundry Services with Spring: Part 2 - Auto-reconfiguration that when you deploy a Spring application, your use of data services will be detected, and your application will automatically be re-configured to use the cloud services available to your application. This works great for simple applications and demos, but if you have a serious production application you probably want to have more control. You also need more control if you have multiple services of the same type. Ramnivas hinted at this saying that you can opt out of auto-reconfiguration by…
Dear Spring Community, I am pleased to announce that the Spring Data MongoDB 1.0 Milestone 5 release is now available! The primary goal of the Spring Data project is to make it easier to build Spring-powered applications that use new data access technologies such as non-relational databases, map-reduce frameworks, and cloud based data services. The MongoDB module provides integration with the MongoDB document database.

When the new open source Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering Cloud Foundry from VMware launched earlier this year, it included a relational database service powered by MySQL along with the NOSQL options of MongoDB and Redis. One of the promises of the Open PaaS is to provide choice both in languages and frameworks you can develop with and in the database services that are available to use. We now have a new relational database service using PostgreSQL available. This is great since we can now choose between the two most popular open source relational databases. PostgreSQL is is a very…
