[Bigdata-developers] Status for 1.5.1 release

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

 See http://trac.bigdata.com/ticket/1104

We have an open ticket (#1136) against the group commit feature for HA.  We
will try to close this by COB Monday to meet the release schedule.  This
feature appears to work correctly in the standalone NSS mode and Martyn has
a fix in the branch for #1136 that works for HA1.  I have written a number
of stress tests at the HA CI layer for this feature and (in the #1136
branch) those tests work for HA1. Since I needed to capture a refactoring
in the HA test suites, I went ahead and brought everything *except* the
edits by Martyn to RWStore.java, FixedAllocator.java, and
TestRWStrategy.java back to master.

Michael has brought in the change set for property path optimizations. This
is the last major feature for the 1.5.1 release.

Brad has a minor ticket open against the BigdataSailFactory.connect()
method and will close that ASAP.

At this point, I expect CI to settle down and we should be making the final
updates leading into the QA for the 1.5.1 release.

Thanks,
Bryan
