Alluxio 2.6.2 Release

[l...@alluxio.com]

Dear Alluxio community users,

We are excited to announce Alluxio v2.6.2, a new edge release on top of v2.6.1 released just a month ago. Feel free to download this release today!

ADD ALLUXIO STRESS TEST FRAMEWORK

Alluxio StressBench is a built-in tool to benchmark the performance of an Alluxio deployment without any extra services. Alluxio 2.6.2 supports the following suites to benchmark: 

• Master RPC throughput (430e4a)
  • bin/alluxio runClass alluxio.stress.cli.RegisterWorkerBench
  • bin/alluxio runClass alluxio.stress.cli.WorkerHeartbeatBench
  • bin/alluxio runClass alluxio.stress.cli.GetPinnedFileIdsBench
• Alluxio POSIX API read throughput (634bd32)
  • bin/alluxio runClass alluxio.stress.cli.fuse.FuseIOBench
• Job Service throughput (0cae910)
  • bin/alluxio runClass alluxio.stress.cli.StressJobServiceBench

SUPPORT TRANSFER ALLUXIO LEADERSHIP DURING RUNTIME

When deploying a High Availability cluster using the Embedded Journal, users can now manually specify the leading master. This is useful when users want to debug or do maintenance on a server without killing an existing running master process. This new functionality transfers the leadership of the quorum gracefully to another master specified. 

The docs show how to use this new feature.  (d6c6733) (d67996c1) (e79fcdd)

DOCKER IMAGES FOR PRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT

In 2.6.2, users can pull  two separate docker images: alluxio/alluxio:2.6.2 and alluxio/alluxio-dev:2.6.2. alluxio/alluxio:2.6.2 is a docker image for production usage optimized for image size and alluxio/alluxio-dev:2.6.2 installs extra tools for development usage. (71f62c36) (768d45c)

IMPROVED ALLUXIO LOAD COMMAND

The load command is improved to use the new worker API to avoid extra data copy to the client. (05e081d1)

Bin,

 

It’d be very helpful to have a blog post on this 2.6.2 edge release.
