We are pleased to announce the Spring for Apache Hadoop 2.3 M2 milestone release.

The most important enhancements in this release:

• New batch tasklets: Support for running a simple Spark app [SHDP-397] and for running a simple Sqoop2 Job [SHDP-506]
• Better boot support: Add jobHistoryAddress to SpringHadoopProperties for Boot configuration [SHDP-517]
• YARN: Support dots in yarn container group names [SHDP-515]

See the release changelog for details.

The new support for running a Spark job on YARN via a Spring Batch tasklet opens possibilities for integrating Spark tasks in a larger Spring Batch flow We will show a simple example of this at the upcoming SpringOne 2GX conference during our "Hadoop Workflows and Distributed YARN Apps using Spring technologies"…

STOMP client-side channel adapters based on the support in Spring Framework 4.2 are now available (the initial work announced in milestone 1 is now complete).

Metrics
