Hi, The Geode Native components (https://github.com/apache/geode-native) have made tremendous progress since its original donation to Apache. The project is nearing a release candidate and I propose that the *first official release of Geode Native be included in Apache Geode 1.8.*
Since donation, the project has - modernized its C++ API based on C++ 11 standards - refactored away the cache singleton to allow for more flexible architectures and client-side data modeling - refactored the serializable interfaces (DataSerializable, PdxSerializable, DataSerializableFixedId) to make object serialization more straight-forward - created several examples on how to use the client ( https://github.com/apache/geode-native/tree/develop/examples) In all, the project has closed 285 JIRA tickets since donation. If you want to learn more about the Geode Native, check out these two Apache Geode By Example videos. .NET: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LQYNJNQ7B4&t=3s C++: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJciEcFRdtY&t=1s Looking forward to hearing your input on including the first cut of Geode Native in Apache Geode 1.8. Best, Addison
