ArangoDB 2.7 (RC 1) - early feedback appreciated

[Ingo Friepoertner]

Thanks to your suggestions and contributions we could work on some important stuff. 

The new release candidate for ArangoDB 2.7 is available for download now.

As ease of use and performance are among our key goals, we worked on some nice improvements for the database itself, AQL and the Web UI.

These are the most important ones:

• Index Buckets (Reducing loading time for collections and enable faster resizing)
• Throughput Enhancements (Real world tests showed 25-75% increase of throughput compared to 2.6)
• Enhancements for AQL like “return distinct”, “template query strings”, date functions, or the new “AQL query result cache”
• Redesign of the ArangoDB Web UI

What´s new in a nutshell: https://www.arangodb.com/2015/09/arangodb-2-7-rc1-have-a-look/

Changelog: https://github.com/arangodb/arangodb/blob/devel/CHANGELOG

Please test our release candidate and provide us your valuable feedback!

Any info on when a Docker image of it will be available? Would love to try those new AQL enhancements :)

They are already available on docker hub under

  arangodb/arangodb-preview

where we have the tags

  nightly.devel

  nightly.2.6 

  nightly.2.7

Thus you can simply go

  docker run -p 8529:8529 arangodb/arangodb-preview:nightly.2.7

I just noticed that our preview page does not mention this:

  https://www.arangodb.com/download-preview/

I will make sure that this is changed.

Hi Max,

You're right, the docker image wasn't available when i looked but I can see it is available now. Many thanks for sorting that :)

Cheers
