We are happy to announce release of Kundera 2.0.2

Kundera is a JPA 2.0 compliant, Object-Datastore Mapping Library for NoSQL
Datastores. The idea behind Kundera is to make working with NoSQL Databases
drop-dead simple and fun. It currently supports Cassandra, HBase and
MongoDB. New features added in this release are:

1. Kundera is now JPA 2.0 compliant.
2. Embedded objects/ collections support for HBase.


What's keeping us busy:
-----------------------
We are actively working on adding new features and improving existing ones
in Kundera. Some of them are:

- Cassandra 0.8 support
- Cross-store persistence
- Support for nested embedding
- Plugin architecture to let developers create their own plugin for a NoSQL
database support.

Interesting. I thought that, in order to be JPA compilant, you must
support transactions. Does Kundera implement transactions on top of
cassandra? I could be mixing things up, I have worked with EJB and
Hibernate inside an EJB environment. Maybe the transaction requirement
came from the EJB part of specification, not JPA. If I recall correctly,
JPA is just a part of EJB specification, right?

Also, you got the entire HQL to work with Cassandra, MongoDB and HBase?
That's impressive!
