Neo4j 1.9 General Availability - Auto-clustering, Cypher, and Some comments
The 1.9 release adds primarily three things:
- Auto-Clustering, which makes Neo4j Enterprise clustering more robust & easier to administer, with fewer moving parts
- Cypher language improvements make the language more functionally powerful and more performant, and
- New welcome pages make learning easier for new users
- The first is for the enterprise customers and brings in the features that were initially supported through ZooKeeper
- Cypher is Neo4j’s fast evolving query language
- The site is brilliant.
- The release post is terrible with no links to dive into the newly announced features.

Redis 2.6 Released. Finally
Salvatore Sanfilippo:
Scripting, bitops, and all the big features are good additions but my feeling is that Redis 2.6 is especially significative as a step forward in the maturity of the Redis implementation. This does not mean that’s bug free, it’s new code and we’ll likely discover bugs especially in the early days as with every new release that starts to be adopted more and more.
Redis 2.6 is the release I’ve written about so many times that is tempting to just say finally.

Hortonworks Data Platform 1.0
Hortonworks has announced the 1.0 release of the Hortonworks Data Platform prior to the Hadoop Summit 2012 together with a lot of supporting quotes from companies like Attunity, Dataguise, Datameer, Karmasphere, Kognitio, MarkLogic, Microsoft, NetApp, StackIQ, Syncsort, Talend, 10gen, Teradata, and VMware.
Some info points:
-
Hortonworks Data Platform is a platform meant to simplify the installation, integration, management, and use of Apache Hadoop
- HDP 1.0 is based on Apache Hadoop 1.0
- Apache Ambari is used for installation and provisioning
- The same Apache Amabari is behind the Hortonworks Management Console
- For Data integration, HDP offers WebHDFS, HCatalog APIs, and Talend Open Studio
- Apache HCatalog is the solution offering metadata and table management
-
Hortonworks Data Platform is 100% open source—I really appreciate Hortonworks’s dedication to the Apache Hadoop project and open source community
- HDP comes with 3 levels of support subscriptions, pricing starting at $12500/year for a 10 nodes cluster
One of the most interesting aspects of the Hortonworks Data Platform release is that the high-availability (HA) option for HDP is based on using VMWare-powered virtual machines for the NameNode and JobTracker. My first thought about this approach is that it was chosen to strengthen a partnership with VMWare. On the other hand, Hadoop 2.0 contains already a new highly-available version of the NameNode (Cloudera Hadoop Distribution uses this solution) and VMWare has bigger plans for a virtualization-friendly Hadoop environment with project Serengeti.
You can read a lot of posts about this announcement, but you’ll find all the details in Hortonworks’s John Kreisa’s post here and the PR announcement.

- Concurrent schema changes
- A new version of Cassandra Query Language (CQL3) supporting compound keys and wide rows
