The Apache AsterixDB (incubating) Team is happy to announce the first release of Apache AsterixDB 0.8.7-incubating and its associated Hyracks release. Apache AsterixDB is a Big Data Management System (BDMS) that can store, index, manage, and query semi-structured data at scale on a cluster. (Hyracks is its underlying dataflow runtime platform.) More information about the project can be found at https://asterixdb.incubator.apache.org/ The release is available at https://asterixdb.incubator.apache.org/download.html The Apache AsterixDB Team would like to hear from you and welcomes your comments and contributions. Thanks, The Apache AsterixDB Team -- Apache AsterixDB is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
