News | April 05, 2018 | ...

Dear Spring community,

The Spring team hereby announces that the Spring for Apache Hadoop project will reach End-Of-Life status twelve months from today on April 5th, 2019. We will publish occasional 2.5.x maintenance releases as needed up until that point and will then move the project to the attic. The current Spring for Apache Hadoop 2.5.0 release is built using Apache Hadoop version 2.7.3 and should be compatible with the latest releases of the most popular Hadoop distributions.

Simple installation of Data Flow for Kubernetes with Helm

Engineering | August 31, 2017 | ...

With the new Helm chart for Spring Cloud Data Flow for Kubernetes, there is now a much simpler way of installing the software.

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes, similar to apt, yum or homebrew. It is very easy to install and it greatly simplifies installation of an application and its dependencies into your Kubernetes cluster. The application package contents and configuration is defined in a chart. When you install it you can override any default configuration values. Helm will install any required services in addition to the ones defined in the chart. For Spring Cloud Data Flow, you have three required services: MySQL and Redis are used as the stores for Spring Cloud Data Flow

Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.2.2 Released

Releases | June 29, 2017 | ...

On behalf of the team, I am pleased to announce the general availability of Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.2.2.

Local Server: Quick Start, Getting Started Guide

Due to the popular demand from the community, the primary goal of this maintenance release is to bring Spring Boot 1.5.4 compatibility in Spring Cloud Data Flow.

  • Since it includes refactoring efforts to adapt to a bug fix introduced in a Spring Data maintenance release that is pulled in by Spring Boot, this is not a simple version upgrade.
  • As reported by the community, a side effect of this update surfaced pagination problems in the clients. It has been reworked both in the client and server-side.

Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.2 M3 released

Releases | March 22, 2017 | ...

On behalf of the team, I am excited to announce the release of the third milestone of Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.2.

Note: A great way to start using this new release(s) is to follow the release matrix on the project page, which includes the download coordinates and the links to the reference guide.

Highlights of the 1.2 M3 release:

Companion Metadata Artifact

As part of the long awaited feature to improve access to app properties info for both shell and Dashboard, we are introducing a new optional artifact for both Stream and Task applications - we are calling it the “companion metadata artifact”

Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.2 M1 released

Releases | February 15, 2017 | ...

On behalf of the team, I am excited to announce the release of the first milestone of Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.2.

Note: A great way to start using this new release(s) is to follow the release matrix on the project page, which includes the download coordinates and the links to the reference guide.

Over the last few weeks, we have added new features and improvements to the overall orchestration of data microservices. The following new features were included in the 1.2.0.M1 release:

Core

  • Introduce dedicated prefixes for deployment properties. Using the deployer properties is as simple as deployer.<appname>.xxx as opposed to app.<appname>.spring.cloud.deployer.xxx
  • Introduce a new REST-API controller and shell support to cleanup Task Executions
  • Foundation work to consolidate the use of controllers between Task deployments and Task Executions
  • Consolidate REST-API call traces and return codes for consistency
  • Adds role-based access control to define who has access to create, deploy, destroy, or view streams/tasks. This works seamlessly in coordination with the supported authentication methods
