New Features:
Apache Pig Integration. See the DataStax Documentation for more information about using Pig in Brisk.
Job Tracker Failover. See the DataStax Documentation for more information about using the new brisktool movejt command.
New Snappy Compression Codec built on Google Snappy is now used internally for automatic CassandraFS block compression.
Automap Cassandra Column Families to Hive Tables in the Brisk Hive Metastore.
Add a second HDFS layer in CassandraFS for long-term data storage. This is needed because the blocks column family in CFS requires frequent compactions – Hadoop uses it during MapReduce processing to store small files and temporary data. Compaction cleans this temporary data up after it is not needed anymore. Now there is the cfs:/// and cfs-archive:/// endpoints within CFS. The blocks column family in cfs-archive:/// has compaction disabled to improve performance for static data stored in CFS.
