HyperDex 1.3 Release Announcement

[Robert Escriva]

We are proud to announce HyperDex 1.3, the next generation NoSQL data store
that provides ACID transactions, schema-less documents, fault-tolerance, and
high-performance. Some key features of HyperDex are:

- High Performance: HyperDex is fast. It outperforms MongoDB and Cassandra on
industry-standard benchmarks by a factor of 2X or more.

- Advanced Functionality: With the Warp add-on, HyperDex offers multi-key
transactions that span multiple objects with ACID guarantees.

- Strong Consistency: HyperDex ensures that every GET returns the result of
the latest PUT.

- Fault Tolerance: HyperDex automatically replicates data to tolerate a
configurable number of failures.

- Scalable: HyperDex automatically redistributes data to make use of new
resources as you add more nodes to your cluster.

This release brings the following changes and improvements:

- Expanded API: This release introduces the ``get_partial`` API call, which
can retrieve a subset of attributes, enabling efficient applications.

- New Platform: This release is the first to be packaged on Ubuntu 14.04.
Binary packages are available on the download page.

- Bug Fixes: This release fixes several bugs, including poor performance on
state transfer, periodic high CPU usage, unexpected server reconfiguration,
and an assertion failure.

HyperDex runs on 64-bit Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Centos) and OS X. Binary
packages for Debian 7, Ubuntu 12.04-14.04, Fedora 18-20, and CentOS 6 are
available [1], as well as source tarballs for other Linux platforms.

This release provides bindings for C, C++, Python, Node.js, Java, Ruby, and Go.

Happy Hacking,
The HyperDex Team
