From the post:
Nearly three years ago to the day, from a set of green, worn couches in a modest office Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Basho team announced Riak to the world. To say we’ve come a long way from that first release would be an understatement, and today we’re pleased to announce the release and general availability of Riak 1.2.
Here’s the tl;dr on what’s new and improved since the Riak 1.1 release:
- More efficiently add multiple Riak nodes to your cluster
- Stage and review, then commit or abort cluster changes for easier operations; plus smoother handling of rolling upgrades
- Better visibility into active handoffs
- Repair Riak KV and Search partitions by attaching to the Riak Console and using a one-line command to recover from data corruption/loss
- More performant stats for Riak; the addition of stats to Riak Search
- 2i and Search usage thru the Protocol Buffers API
- Official Support for Riak on FreeBSD
- In Riak Enterprise: SSL encryption, better balancing and more granular control of replication across multiple data centers, NAT support
If that’s all you need to know, download the new release or read the official release notes. Also, go register for RICON.
OK, but I have a question: What happened to the lucky “…green, worn couches…”? 😉
