2.7

Release of 2.7
@ingenthr ingenthr tagged this 08 Jun 10:56 
Changes since the 2.6 series:

The 2.7 series gains significant new capabilities when using
binary protocol with Membase or forthcoming updates to
memcached.

Starting with the 2.7 release, it is now possible to
instantiate a MemcachedClient from the REST interface
supported by Membase.  What this means is that if you have
one or more buckets in Membase, you can create
MemcachedClient objects to work with the buckets.  Furthermore,
if the cluster topology changes (i.e. a node is added or
removed), the client will automatically adjust to the new
topology.

This updated client also has support for other new Membase
operations, some of which will likely be in memcached
as well in a future release:
  touch - extend the expiration for a given item
  get and touch (a.k.a. gat) - get and touch an item
  getl - get and lock an item, with a lock expiration time

See http://www.couchbase.org/documentation for further
details.

Many other minor changes were introduced in support of
this work, like handling temporary failures.  Notably,
this affects testing in that you now need a Membase
server running locally with a specific username
and password.  This is a limitation planned for removal
in future releases.

Some of these changes affected interfaces, which is why
the version number has been raised to 2.7 even though
2.6 was just recently released.

To support this new functionality, there are a few new
runtime dependencies:
netty 3.1.5 GA
jettison 1.1
Apache commons-codec 1.4

These are only required if you are using the new REST
interface and topology changes from Membase.
