  • Improves tend algorthm to allow complete disconnection from the cluster if none of the clusters are accessible.
  • PutObject method will now accept objects as well. PR #156, thanks to Sarath S Pillai
• Fixes
  • Do not attemp to add a node which were unaccessible to avoid panic.

Hotfix Release

Hot fix release. Please upgrade if you have been using other Aerospike clients with your database parallel to Go.

• Fixes
  • Fixes an issue where short strings in Lists and Maps wouldn't unpack correctly. Resolves #161.

  • Added new constants for expiration in WritePolicy: TTLServerDefault, TTLDontExpire, TTLDontUpdate
• Improvements
  • Corrects typos in the code. PR #142, thanks to Muyiwa Olurin
  • Use the tend connection for RequestInfo commands.
• Fixes
  • Fixes an issue where TTL values were calcualted wrongly when they were set not to expire.
  • Fixes an issue where PutObjects would marshal []byte to List in database. PR #152, thanks to blide
  • Fixes an issue where Recordset could leak goroutines. PR #153, thanks to Deepak Prabhakara

Major Improvements

There has been major changes in the library. Please test rigorously before upgrading to the new version.

• New Features

  • Let user define the desired tag for bin names in structs using SetAerospikeTag function.

  • Added as_performance build tag to avoid including the slow convenience API which uses reflections in the client code.
    To use this feature, you should include -tags="as_performance" when building your project.

    NOTICE: Keep in mind that your code may not compile using this flag. That is by design.

• Improvements
  • Added special packer for map[string]interface{} in NewValue method.
  • Avoid allocating memory for Map and List values.
  • Allocate commands on the stack to avoid heap allcations.
  • Avoid allocating memory for packer.
  • Avoid Allocating memory in computeHash for keys.
  • Avoid allocating memory in Ripe160MD digest.
  • Removed BufferPool and moved buffers to Connection objects to remove lock contention.
  • Added ListIter and MapIter interfaces to support passing user defined Maps and Lists to the client without using reflection.

Major Features and Improvements

• New Features
  • Support TLS secured connections. (Feature will be supported in coming server releases.)
  • Support IPv6 protocol. Supported by Aerospike Server 3.10+.
  • Support cluster-name verification. Supported by Aerospike Server 3.10+.
  • Support new peers info protocol. Supported by Aerospike Server 3.10+.
• Improvements
  • Will retry the operation even when reading from the buffer. Set Policy.MaxRetries = 0 to avoid this behavior. PR #143, thanks to Hector Jusforgues
  • Much improved cluster management algorithm. Will now handle the case where multiple nodes go down simultaneously, still protecting against split brain rogue nodes.
• Fixes
  • Try all alias IPs in node validator. Resolves #144.
  • Updated job status check for execute tasks.

Minor Features and Improvements

• New Features
  • Support 'Durable Deletes' for the next version of Aerospike Server Enterprise.
• Improvements
  • Don't run tests for features that are not supported by the server.
  • Added new server error codes.

Minor improvements release.

• Improvements
  • Add TaskId() method for Recordset.
  • Cleanup indexes after test cases.
  • Keep connections on recoverable server errors.
  • Return the error on unexpected keys in BatchCommandGet/Header.
  • Use the same client object in tests and support using replicas on travis.

Major Feature Release

Major feature and improvement release.

• New Features
  • Client now supports distributing reads from Replicas using ClientPolicy.RequestProleReplicas and Policy.ReplicaPolicy
• Improvements
  • Cluster.GetConnection will now retry to acquire a connection until timeout.
  • Client.DropIndex method now blocks until all nodes report the index is dropped.
  • Async tasks like CreateIndex will retry a few times before deciding a non-existing job means it has finished.
  • Don't use math.MaxInt64, it breaks 32-bit builds. PR #139, thanks to Cameron Sparr
• Fixes
  • Maps with 0 elements will automatically shortcut to unordered empty maps.
  • Return the error in BatchCommandGet on parse error.

Major fix release.

• Improvements
  • Skip LDT tests if LDT is not enabled.
  • Returns last error after all retry attempts to run a command are exhausted.
  • Reserves a connection for tend operation to avoid dropping a node when high load prevents acquiring a proper connection.
  • Added Finalizers to Client and Recordset. Both will be automatically closed by the GC.
• Fixes
  • Fixes an issue where services-alternate wasn't used in Node.addFriends() when instructed so in the policy.
  • Fixes an issue where object metadata wasn't cached if QueryObjects was called before PutObject.
  • Fixes an issue where idle connections were not dropped.
  • Fixes an issue where requested buffer sizes were not guarded against negative numbers.

Minor bugfix release

• Fixes
  • Fixes an issue where empty unordered maps were confused with CDT maps.
