VAST v2.0-rc2

on GitHub

This is the second release candidate for VAST v2.0. All user-facing changes are documented in the CHANGELOG document.

VAST is now in a feature freeze and testing period. We encourage you to give the release candidate a spin and report back any findings.

Since the first release candidate, we've made the following changes:

• The fine-grained catalog configuration now uses :addr over :address for targeting address fields, matching the existing type extractor syntax.
• Some transform steps were changed in anticipation of a future extension to the VAST query language. We've decided to sneak this into v2.0 since to use the opportunity of a breaking change:
  • delete is now called drop
  • select is now called where
  • filter no longer exists; use where with an inverted expression
  • project is now called put
  • aggregate is now called summarize
  • The syntax for rename changed slightly: It now uses the option schemas rather than layout-names, and supports renaming fields as well.
• VAST no longer accepts queries after shutting down, which may have led to an infinite hang if queries came in faster than we were able to handle them.
• Forcefully terminated queries no longer cause their associated exporter component to be stuck in the VAST server process.
