[ann] Lily 1.1 is out

[Steven Noels <st...@outerthought.org>]

Hi everybody,

if you use 'HBase' and 'Solr' in one sentence, Lily might be worth checking
out. It's a scalable data repository layering a high-level (i.e.
easy-to-use) data model + API on top of HBase, and consistent, reliable
maintenance of a configurable Solr index (which can optionally be sharded).
So you get the benefit of a high-scale data store with flexible searching.
Best of all, Lily is open source - Apache license.

We've just released Lily 1.1 and you can read all about it on
www.lilyproject.org. Notable release features are:

   - complex field types (nested records and more)
   - conditional updates
   - a Java test framework, also allowing you to run the entire Lily stack
   (Hadoop/HBase/Zookeeper/Solr/Lily) in a single JVM
   - a new Java Builder API (we do REST as well)
   - various performance improvements with regards to parallellization
   - server-side plugins or decorators
   - for enterprise customers: a Whirr-based cluster installer

You can read more at http://bit.ly/uCIxV7

Thanks,

Steven.

Congrats to the outerthoughtians!  I notice Lily is not even mentioned
here, http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/SupportingProjects, Steven.  Fix
it I'd say.  Add it on top of the list so the old stuff thats rotting
settles toward the bottom of the list, gets compacted by the pressure
of new projects piled above and... you know how the rest of the story
goes.
