2.0.0

Announcing the Python Client Release 2.0.0

This is a big release which adds support for Python 3.
The methods exists, get, and select now raise a RecordNotFound exception. In the past you always got back a record tuple of (key, meta, bins), then had to check for meta is not None to identify a non-existent record.

Features

• Python 3 compatible (>= 3.4). CLIENT-603
• Upgraded to C client 4.0.0.
• Raise a RecordNotFound exception when a record is not found. CLIENT-533
• aerospike.Client.is_connected() tests the client’s connections to the nodes. CLIENT-625
• Added list operators to aerospike.Client.operate(). CLIENT-641
• Added the scan option include_ldt. CLIENT-609
• Added the compression_threshold config param to the client. CLIENT-626
• Removed the deprecated classes aerospike.Key, aerospike.LMap, aerospike.LSet, aerospike.LStack . CLIENT-394

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where boolean items in a list got cast to integers by list operations. CLIENT-632
• Fixed issue #92 wrong exception raised by aerospike.LList.find_first. CLIENT-607
• Fixed enterprise edition tests. CLIENT-642

1.0.59

This release adds support for the list operations API, a feature requiring Aerospike server >= 3.7.1.

Features

• Implemented list_append, list_extend, list_insert, list_insert_items, list_pop, list_pop_range, list_remove, list_remove_range, list_clear, list_set, list_get, list_get_range, list_trim, list_size. CLIENT-560

1.0.58

This release adds support for geospatial index and query, a feature requiring Aerospike server >= 3.7.0.

Features

• Enhanced geospatial queries with new predicates geo_within_geojson_region, geo_within_radius, geo_contains_geojson_point, and geo_contains_point. CLIENT-601
• Added support for Amazon environments such as EMR. Thanks @ramrengaswamy and @BeeswaxIO

Fixes

• Fixed case where a wrong exception was thrown for error status 160. CLIENT-600
• Fixed a bug where as_geojson was not casting back to aerospike.GeoJSON. CLIENT-628

1.0.57

Features

• Added aerospike.null to be used for removing bins with write operations. Using this value with an aerospike.Client.put is equivalent to calling aerospike.Client.remove_bin on that bin.

• Updated the documentation for multi-ops and regarding seed nodes.

Fixes

• Updated the manual build document.

Fixes

• Fixed issue #85 - installer error in environments where the user does not have permission to copy system Lua files to the correct directory. Thanks @RonRothman
• Fixed issue #82 - vary the shared-memory cluster tending key by host; added shm_key(). CLIENT-71.
• Fixed a bug occuring in get_nodes when the cluster had one node. CLIENT-566
• Fixed a bug in client config when the host address is a unicode string. CLIENT-556
• Fixed issue #88 - expanded the function signature for loggers.

• Fixed an inaccurate geospatial test.
• Fixed typos in the API documentation. Thanks @tigran-a

1.0.55

Features

• Configuration support for connection pool size. CLIENT-277

Fixes

• Fixed the way the installer creates the Lua system path on OS X.

1.0.54

Features

• Added aerospike.geodata, aerospike.geojson factory functions for producing aerospike.GeoJSON classes. CLIENT-529
• Added the aerospike.version string to the module. CLIENT-537

Fixes

• Fixed issue #77, crash when an arg of a UDF is a bytearray. CLIENT-517
• Status code AEROSPIKE_ERR_SERVER raises an aerospike.exception.ServerError. CLIENT-535, CLIENT-552.

1.0.53

Features

• Implemented Issue #66, supporting separate serialization for different instances of aerospike.Client CLIENT-234
• Implemented support for geospatial features. Added an aerospike.GeoJSON class to wrap GeoJSON data, enabling its proper serialization. Support for building geo2dsphere indexes on bins with GeoJSON data, and for queries over that data using the geo_within predicate. Requires a near-future version of the server. CLIENT-267

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where bins containing as_double type data were incorrectly freed after a put. CLIENT-496

1.0.52

Fixes

This release collects several bug fixes for the batch read methods. If you make use of them please upgrade your client. See release 1.0.50 for more information about the way the batch read methods have changed.

• Fixed a memory leak in the batch read methods. AER-4367
• Fixed Issue 76 - batch-read methods get_many, exists_many, and select_many to return a 4-tuple key component. AER-4358
• Fixed the batch read methods to accept digest keys in their keys parameter. AER-4038

1.0.50

Features

• Upgraded to C client 3.1.22.
• Support for the batch-index API. AER-3908
  • Batch methods are changing in a non-backward compatible way: in order to support batch-reads from multiple namespaces, get_many, exists_many, and select_many now return a list of records, each fitting the (key, metadata, bins) record tuple format.
  • Added job_info, a unified method for tracking the status of scan and query jobs. Added corresponding aerospike.JOB_STATUS_* constants.
  • Deprecated scan_info.
• Support for secondary index record UDF (query_apply). Requires a future release of the server. AER-3981
• Support for a native double data type. Python float bin values will convert to and from as_double. Requires server version >= 3.6.0. AER-4239
• Added the privilege aerospike.PRIV_READ_WRITE_UDF.
• New examples for query_apply and get_many.
• Ensure that the examples work with Aerospike Enterprise Edition. AER-3707
• Cleaned up and clarified documentation. Thanks @tivvit for your help.

Fixes

• Fixed issue with scan without explicit set - pull request 73. Thanks @tivvit.
