It is available for download immediately from our <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/nosqldb/downloads/index.html">OTN download page</a>. Please forward this announcement widely.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Oracle NoSQL Database 12.1.3.4.7 adds several new features. We strongly recommend that users upgrade to this release to take advantage of these new features:<o:p></o:p></p><p style='text-align:justify'><u>Business Continuity and Workload Management: </u> This feature enhances our business continuity and cross data center functionality. With this new feature, users can now continue business operations in the event of zone failures the result in the loss of quorum as well as carry out any planned maintenance that results in take one or more zones offline without impacting business operations. <o:p></o:p></p><p style='text-align:justify'>We have added new CLI commands that allows an administrator: to change the TYPE of the zone, to reestablish Admin service quorum that has been lost due to failure, to prevent unwanted services from starting, to wait for a replica nodes to reach a specified threshold of consistency with their masters while performing disaster recovery. To read more about this feature refer chapter 7 of the <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/cd/NOSQL/html/AdminGuide/failover-switchover.html">Admin Guide</a>. <o:p></o:p></p><p style='text-align:justify'><u>Bulk Get API: </u> Introduced a new high performance API for bulk multi-get operations on table rows or key-value pairs. The API takes as input a set of keys, queries the appropriate Storage Node(s) in parallel and returns all the matching records. This allows users to efficiently retrieve the records using multiple primary keys in a single API operation. Refer the <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/cd/NOSQL/html/javadoc/oracle/kv/table/TableAPI.html#tableIterator%28java.util.Iterator,%20oracle.kv.table.MultiRowOptions,%20oracle.kv.table.TableIteratorOptions%29">Javadoc</a> for details of API.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><u>Off Heap Cache: </u> The off-heap cache feature provides significantly better performance for certain workloads. With this feature the users can allocate and use additional memory outside the limits of the Java heap, reducing the impact of Java garbage collection, thus resulting in better caching of data. Refer the <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/cd/NOSQL/html/AdminGuide/offheap.html">Admin Guide</a> to manage and configure the Off Heap Cache.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><u>Support for Complex types for Hive Storage Handler:</u> This features enhances our integration with Apache Hive and Big Data SQL by allowing the users to query against data contained in tables whose schema may consist of complex (non-primitive) date types that is, Map, ENUMS, Records and Arrays types. Users can now run richer queries from hive console against the data that's stored in the Oracle NoSQL DB.
