[Bigdata-developers] code freeze, new development branch.

[Bryan T. <br...@sy...>]

We are preparing to merge the QUADS branch down to the trunk.  Please be sure that you are fully committed and then change over to the TERMS (TERMS_REFACTOR_BRANCH) for new development.  We'll do a release from the quads branch shortly.

The quads branch provided:
- Single machine scaling to ~50B triples/quads (RWStore).
- Lot's of query optimizations (36,000 QMpH for BSBM3 reduced query mix).
- 100% native SPARQL 1.0 query evaluation.
- New REST API for SPARQL and update
- Simple webapp installer (non-Sesame)
- Simple embedded webapp (using jetty)

We continue to support the Sesame API, but the Sesame web application install process is too cumbersome, so we've introduced the NanoSparqlServer as an easily installed alternative with a REST API.

We will handle analytic query (scalable support for SPARQL 1.1) in the TERMS branch.

Thanks,
Bryan
