The Apache Streams team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Streams 0.5-incubating.
Sources are now available from Apache mirrors ( http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/streams/releases/0.5-incubating/ ) and binaries are now available from the apache maven repository ( http://repository.apache.org/ ) and maven central ( http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cg%3A%22org.apache.streams%22%20v%3A%220.5-incubating%22 ) Apache Streams (incubating) unifies a diverse world of digital profiles and online activities into common formats and vocabularies, and makes these datasets accessible across a variety of databases, devices, and platforms for streaming, browsing, search, sharing, and analytics use-cases. The project aims to provide simple two-way data interchange with popular REST APIs using industry standard data representations and common interfaces. Streams compatibility with multiple storage back-ends and ability to be embedded within any java-based real-time or batch data processing platform ensures that its interoperability features come with little technical baggage. 0.5-incubating is a feature release which updates persist support for neo4j to include the bolt binary protocol, updates persist support for cassandra to include SSL support, and adds persist support for riak via both http and binary protocols. 0.5-incubating also contains bug fixes, documentation improvements, and release process improvements, including but not limited to removing the streams-master parent repo from the build plan.
