Release candidate 1 is up:
https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/releases/tag/0.17.0-RC1

As a reminder, testing a given binding should at a minimum run through a load and a run phase. Ideally, one should go through the recommended sequence of workload steps from the "Running the workloads" section of the Core Workloads documentation.

[busbey]

I confirmed that the change to limit the thread count works. and I checked an HDP 2.6.5 HBase cluster with the hbase098, hbase10, hbase12, hbase14, and aysnchbase bindings.

[busbey]

I confirmed that the hbase20 binding works with a CDH6 HBase cluster.

[busbey]

oh and I confirmed that the fieldnameprefix stuff works.

[busbey]

Things that it'd be nice to test prior to marking the release as done, so that they don't need to be marked as experimental:

• @srmadscience mind checking that the voltdb stuff works in the release candidate?
• @KowsarAtz can you verify SQL Server with the JDBC binding?
• @seybi87 would you mind checking autofailover with the JDBC binding?
• @dfquaresma could you check elasticsearch5-rest?
• @voellm can you check Azure CosmosDB and Cassandra with SSL?
• @leschekhomann can you check Postgres NoSQL?
• @patrickstuedi can you check Apache Crail?
• @HoboChen can you check Alibaba Tablestore?
• @knonomura can you check GridDB?
• @stutiredboy or @allanbank could you check on mongodb 4.0?
• @FloBWer can you check on OrientDB?
• @calin-iorgulescu or @rizlik could you check on memcached?
• @isuntsov-gridgain would you mind checking Apache Ignite?
• @flint-dominic can you check cloud spanner and bigtable?

[voellm]

We regularly build and test both the Azure CosmoDB and Cassandra + SSL changes and they work as expected. What kind of update / test output / etc would you like?

Doing those same checks for the 0.17.0 RC tag specifically would be great. Generally we take folks who test at their word rather than requiring a copy of any results.

[KowsarAtz]

Yes! I've run the tests on MSSQL multiple times (with different jdbc drivers) and it works fine.

"@srmadscience mind checking that the voltdb stuff works in the release candidate?".

Done for VoltDB v9.1.1.

Question: Any idea when this is 'officially' released?

[busbey]

Question: Any idea when this is 'officially' released?

I'll wait a couple of days to make sure no one else is testing any of the outstanding stuff. Then I'll post a release and link it here. This issue will be closed once download links, etc get updated.

[patrickstuedi]

Done. Ran the basic tests for Crail against the 0.17.0 RC and things work fine.

[leschekhomann]

@busbey: At the moment I am busy, but I try to test the binding during the next week.

[knonomura]

@busbey
Done for GridDB.
I can build and run successfully 0.17.0 RC tag.

[voellm]

I have built and run the Azure Cosmos [SQL] workloads and well as testing connections to Azure Cosmos Cassandra using the useSSL flag.

[allanbank]

Ran my test script for MongoDB versions:

• 4.2.0
• 4.0.12
• 3.6.14
• 3.4.23
• 3.2.22
• 3.0.15
• 2.6.12

No issues.
