Divolte 0.9.0 released

[andre...@godatadriven.com]

Hi All,

Earlier this week we released version 0.9.0 of Divolte Collector. This release contains the following changes relative to 0.8.0:

• Mappings can now hash data in various ways. Basic and keyed hashing are supported using the builtin JDK algorithms.
  
• Mapping to Avro enumeration fields is now supported.
  
• Events published to Kafka now have their timestamps set to the time the event arrived on the divolte server.
  
• Events published to Google Pub/Sub have additional meta-data to help with downstream processing:
  
• To help with event ordering, timestamp is the time the event arrived at the server.
• To help with event deduplication, eventIdentifier is the event ID (as generated by the client).
• A bug has been fixed where tildes (~) weren't properly handled inside custom event parameters.
  
• A bug has been fixed where the version of avro-tools that we shipped didn't work properly due to a missing file.
• The usual dependency updates, of which the most notable is upgrading from Hadoop 2.9 to 3.1.

Cheers,

 - Andrew

[…]

This was incorrect; full support for this is not present. Instead a bug was fixed to allow custom parameter values to be mapped to Avro enumeration fields. (This used to work but was broken in a previous release.)
