[ANNOUNCE] Apache Streams 0.3-incubating release

[sblackmon <sb...@apache.org>]

 
The Apache Streams team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Streams 0.3-incubating. 

Sources are now available from Apache mirrors ( http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/streams/releases/0.3-incubating/ ) and binaries are now available from the apache maven repository ( http://repository.apache.org ) and maven central (http://search.maven.org) ( http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cv%3A%220.3-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 in activity streams formats using a universal protocol. 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.

0.3-incubating includes support for graph databases via streams-persist-graph, improvements to streams-persist-hdfs, addition of streams-persist-kinesis, improvements streams-http, many bug-fixes and configuration enhancements, and is the first release containing the new webpage source code (in the incubator-streams-master repository) and a set of ready to run tutorial examples (in the incubator-streams-examples repository).

We would like to thank all contributors who made the release possible, and encourage anyone interested in using or contributing to the project to join the dev mailing list ( mailto:dev-subscribe@streams.incubator.apache.org )

Regards,
Apache Streams (incubating) Community

DISCLAIMER 

Apache Streams is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache 
Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. 

Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further 
review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision 
making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other 
successful ASF projects. 

While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the 
completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the 
project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
