Changelog

Version 0.12.0 (TBD)

Search

We made several changes to improve search performance and accuracy:

Preservation of Stopwords in Indexing and Search: Stopwords are no longer removed. As a result, searches that contain stopwords may return different, yet more accurate and contextually relevant results.
- Previous Configuration: In earlier versions, Concourse Server could be configured using the conf/stopwords.txt file to exclude common stopwords from indexing and search operations. This approach was designed to reduce storage requirements and improve search performance by removing frequently occurring, but generally less significant words.
- Rationale for Change: Preserving stopwords is crucial for maintaining context, which can significantly enhance the accuracy of search results and the effectiveness of ranking algorithms. Since affordable storage and computational resources are more abundant, resource usage is no longer a concern and it makes more sense to prioritze better search accuracy and system robustness. Lastly, preserving stopwords eliminates corner case bugs that are inherent to the way Concourse's search algorithm interacts with the buffered storage system.
- Upgrade Implications: Upon upgrading to this version, an automatic reindexing task will be initiated to ensure that all previously indexed data conforms to the new no-stopword-removal policy. It's important to allocate downtime for this reindexing to occur. And, it is wise to anticipate more storage spaced being used due to stopwords being included in the search corpus.
Changed the default value of the max_search_substring_length configuration option to 40. The previous default allowed unlimited substring lengths, which increased search index size and hurt performance. Existing explicit configurations for this option remain unchanged.

Locking Optimizations

We made several changes to improve the safety, scalability and operational efficiency of the Just-in-Time (JIT) locking protocol:

Eliminated redundant logic and localized the determination of when an Atomic Operation or Transaction becomes preempted by another commit. Previously that determination was managed globally in the Engine and relied on the JVM garbage collector (GC) to remove terminated operations from listening for data conflicts. Under contention, If many terminated operations accumulated between GC cycles, write performance could become degraded for hot data topics. As a result of this change, JIT locking is generally more memory efficient.
Reduced lock metadata by consolidating the provisioning for all locks to a single broker. Previously, range locks and granular locks were issued and managed independently by different services.
Improved the CPU efficiency of range locks by scheduling range blocked operations to park instead of busy waiting.
Eliminated a known race condition that made it possible for two different conflicting commits to violate ACID semantics by concurrently acquiring different locks for the same resource.
Switched the basis for all storage engine locks from java.util.concurrent.locks.ReenteantReadWriteLock to either java.util.concurrent.locks.StampedLock or other synchronization primitives that are generally shown to have better throughput.

YAML Configuration

Concourse now supports YAML configuration files. Going forward, YAML files are preferred over preferences files for configuration.
- Concourse Server can be configured with concourse.yaml and concourse.yaml.dev files.
- Concourse Shell and other Java Driver based clients can be configured with a concourse_client.yaml file.
- Usage of concourse.prefs, concourse.prefs.dev and concourse_client.prefs is now deprecated.
Existing configuration defined in .prefs files is still recognized and backwards compatability is fully preserved.
Configuration that is defined in .yaml files take precedence over configuration defined in .prefs files, with the exception that concourse.prefs.dev takes precedence over concourse.yaml to honor the convention of prioritizing dev configuration.
The stock concourse.prefs file will no longer be updated when new configuration options are available. All new configuration templates will be defined in the stock concourse.yaml file.
Concourse Server will not automatically migrate custom configuration from .prefs files to the corresponding .yaml files. While .prefs files are still functional, users are encouraged to manually copy custom configuration to the new format in case support for .prefs files goes away at a future date.
concourse.yaml supports an option to specify custom credentials for the root administrator account under the init.root object. If either init.root.username or init.root.password is provided, it takes precedence over any value provided for init_root_username or init_root_password, respectively.

Concourse Automation Framework

Added the concourse-automation framework to provide a central set of tools to programatically interact with the Concourse codebase and release artifacts in automated tests and devops workflows. For the most part, the concourse-automation framework is comprised of tools that were previously available in the concourse-ete-test-core framework.
- ConcourseCodebase - Provides programmatic interaction with a local copy of the Concourse source code. Can be used to build installer artifacts.
- ConcourseArtifacts - Provides factory methods to retrieve local copies of Concourse artifacts for any version. Can be used to download the installer for a released version.
- ManagedConcourseServer - Provdes the ability to control an external Concourse Server process within another application.

New Functionality and Enhancements

Reduced the amount of heap space required for essential storage metadata.
Added the enable_efficient_metadata configuration option to further reduce the amount of heap space required for essential storage metadata. When this option is set to true, metadata will occupy approximately one-third less heap space and likely improve overall system performance due to a decrease in garbage collection pauses (although per-operation performance may be slightly affected by additional overhead).

Bug Fixes

GH-454: Fixed an issue that caused JVM startup options overriden in a ".dev" configuration file to be ignored (e.g., heap_size).
GH-491 Fixed a race condition that made it possible for a range bloked operation to spurriously be allowed to proceed if it was waiting to acquire a range lock whose intended scope of protection intersected the scope of a range lock that was concurrently released.
Fixed a bug that caused range locks to protect an inadequate scope of data once acquired.
GH-490: Fixed a bug that made it possible for a write to a key within a record (e.g., key A in record 1) to erroneously block a concurrent write to a different key in the same record (e.g., key B in record 1). The practial consquence of this bug was that more Atomic Operations and Transactions failed than actually necessary.

API Breaks and Deprecations

Concourse CLIs have been updated to leverage the lib-cli framework. There are no changes in functionality, however, in the concourse-cli framework, the following classes have been deprecated:
- CommandLineInterface in favor of ConcourseCommandLineInterface
- CommandLineInterfaceRunner in favor of com.cinchapi.lib.cli.CommandLineInterfaceRunner from the lib-cli framework.
- NoOptions in favor of creating a new Options object.
- Options in favor of com.cinchapi.lib.cli.Options from the lib-cli framework.
As a result of Concourse's new support for YAML configuration:
- Usage of concourse.prefs, concourse.prefs.dev and concourse_client.prefs is deprecated in favor of concourse.yaml, concourse.yaml.dev and concourse_client.yaml respectively.
- The ConcourseServerPreferences handler is deprecated in favor of using ConcourseServerConfiguration, which provides the same functionality.
- The ConcourseClientPreferences handler is deprecated in favor of using ConcourseClientConfiguration, which provides the same functionality.
- ManagedConcourseServer#prefs() is deprecated in favor of ManagedConcourseServer#config().
- The Concourse#connectWithPrefs methods have been deprecated in favor of Concourse#connect methods that take one or more configuration file Paths or a ConcourseClientConfiguration handler, respectively.
With the introduction of the concourse-automation framework, duplicate classes in the concourse-ete-test-core framework have been deprecated:
- com.cinchapi.concourse.util.ConcourseCodebase has been deprecated in favor of using com.cinchapi.concourse.automation.developer.ConcourseCodebase which provides the same functionality, but some methods have been renamed for clarity.
- ConcourseServerDownloader has been deprecated in favor of using ConcourseArtifacts which provides the same functionality, but some methods have been renamed for clarity.
- com.cinchapi.concourse.server.ManagedConcourseServer has been deprecated in favor of using com.cinchapi.concourse.automation.server.ManagedConcourseServer which provides the same functionality, but some methods have been renamed for clarity.
The com.cinchapi.concourse.util.Processes utility class has been removed in favor of using com.cinchapi.common.process from accent4j.
- This was removed without deprecation because the utility provided by the accent4j version is nearly identical to the one that was provided in Concourse and accent4j is naturally available to users of Concourse frameworks by virtue of being a transitive dependency.
- The waitFor and waitForSuccessfulCompletion methods of accent4j's Processes utility return a ProcessResult, which provides access to the process's exit code, output stream and error stream (in the Concourse version, these methods had a void return type). This means that an Exception will be thrown if an attempt is made to use the getStdErr or getStdOut method on a process that was submitted to waitFor or waitForSuccessfulCompletion.

Version 0.11.7 (TBD)

Fixed a bug that made it possible to leak filesystem resources by opening duplicate file descriptors for the same Segment file. At scale, this could prematurely lead to "too many open files" errors.

Version 0.11.6 (July 6, 2024)

Added new configuration options for initializing Concourse Server with custom admin credentials upon first run. These options enhance security by allowing a non-default usernames and passwords before starting the server.
- The init_root_username option in concourse.prefs can be used to specify the username for the initial administrator account.
- The init_root_password option in concourse.prefs can be used to specify the password for the initial administrator account
Exposed the default JMX port, 9010, in the Dockerfile.
Fixed a bug that kept HELP documentation from being packaged with Concourse Shell and prevented it from being displayed.
Added a fallback option to display Concourse Shell HELP documentation in contexts when the less command isn't available (e.g., IDEs).
Fixed a bug that caused Concourse Server to unnecessarily add error logging whenever a client disconnected.
Added the ability to create ConnectionPools that copy the credentials and connection information from an existing handler These copying connection pools can be created by using the respective "cached" or "fixed" factory methods in the ConnectionPool class that take a Concourse parameter.

Version 0.11.5 (November 5, 2022)

Fixed a bug that made it possible for a Transaction to silently fail and cause a deadlock when multiple distinct writes committed in other operations caused that Transaction to become preempted (e.g., unable to continue or successfully commit because of a version change).
Fixed a bug that allowed a Transaction's atomic operations (e.g., verifyAndSwap) to ignore range conflicts stemming from writes committed in other operations. As a result, the atomic operation would successfully commit to its a Transaction, but the Transaction would inevitably fail due to the aforementioned conflict. The correct (and now current) behaviour is that the atomic operation fails (so it can be retried) without dooming the entire Transaction to failure.
Fixed a bug that caused an innocuous Exception to be thrown when importing CSV data using the interactive input feature of concourse import CLI.
Fixed a bug that caused an inexplicable failure to occur when invoking a plugin method that indirectly depended on result set sorting.

Version 0.11.4 (July 4, 2022)

Slightly improved the performance of result sorting by removing unnecessary intermediate data gathering.
Improved random access performance for all result sets.

Version 0.11.3 (June 4, 2022)

Improved the performance of commands that select multiple keys from a record by adding herustics to the storage engine to reduce the number of overall lookups required. As a result, commands that select multiple keys are up to 96% faster.
Streamlined the logic for reads that have a combination of time, order and page parameters by adding more intelligent heuristics for determining the most efficient code path. For example, a read that only has time and page parameters (e.g., no order) does not need to be performed atomically. Previously, those reads converged into an atomic code path, but now a separate code path exists so those reads can be more performant. Additionally, the logic is more aware of when attempts to sort or paginate data don't actually have an effect and now avoids unnecessary data transformations of re-collection.
Fixed a bug that caused Concourse Server to not use the Strategy framework to determine the most efficient lookup source (e.g., field, record, or index) for navigation keys.
Added support for querying on the intrinsic identifier of Records, as both a selection and evaluation key. The record identifier can be refernced using the $id$ key (NOTE: this must be properly escaped in concourse shell as \$id\$).
- It is useful to include the Record identifier as a selection key for some navigation reads (e.g., select(["partner.name", partner.\$id\$], 1))).
- It is useful to include the Record identifier as an evaluation key in cases where you want to explictly exclude a record from matching a Condition (e.g., select(["partner.name", parner.\$id\$], "\$id\$ != 2")))
Fixed a bug that caused historical reads with sorting to not be performed atomically; potentially violating ACID semantics.
Fixed a bug that caused commands to find data matching a Condition (e.g., Criteria or CCL Statement) to not be fully performed atomically; potentially violating ACID semantics.

Version 0.11.2 (March 18, 2022)

Fixed a bug that caused Concourse Server to incorrectly detect when an attempt was made to atomically commit multiple Writes that toggle the state of a field (e.g. ADD name as jeff in 1, REMOVE name as jeff in 1, ADD name as jeff in 1) in user-defined transactions. As a result of this bug, all field toggling Writes were committed instead of the desired behaviour where there was a commit of at most one equal Write that was required to obtain the intended field state. Committing multiple writes that toggled the field state within the same transaction could cause failures, unexplained results or fatal inconsistencies when reconciling data.
Added a fallback to automatically switch to reading data from Segment files using traditional IO in the event that Concourse Server ever exceedes the maximum number of open memory mapped files allowed (as specified by the vm.max_map_count property on some Linux systems).
Removed the DEBUG logging (added in 0.11.1) that provides details on the execution path chosen for each lookup because it is too noisy and drastically degrades performance.
Fixed a bug in the way that Concourse Server determined if duplicate data existed in the v3 storage files, which caused the concourse data repair CLI to no longer work properly (compared to how it worked on the v2 storage files).
Fixed a regression that caused a memory leak when data values were read from disk. The nature of the memory leak caused a degradation in performance because Concourse Server was forced to evict cached records from memory more frequently than in previous versions.

Version 0.11.1 (March 9, 2022)

Upgraded to CCL version 3.1.2 to fix a regression that caused parenthetical expressions within a Condition containing LIKE REGEX, NOT_LIKE and NOT_REGEX operators to mistakenly throw a SyntaxException when being parsed.
Added the ConcourseCompiler#evaluate(ConditionTree, Multimap) method that uses the Operators#evaluate static method to perform local evaluation.
Fixed a bug that, in some cases, caused the wrong default environment to be used when invoking server-side data CLIs (e.g., concourse data <action>). When a data CLI was invoked without specifying the environment using the -e <environment> flag, the default environment was always used instead of the default_environment that was specified in the Concourse Server configuration.
Fixed a bug that caused the concourse data compact CLI to inexplicably die when invoked while enable_compaction was set to false in the Concourse Server configuration.
Fixed the usage message description of the concourse export and concourse import CLIs.
Fixed a bug that caused Concourse Shell to fail to parse short syntax within statements containing an open parenthesis as described in GH-463 and GH-139.
Fixed a bug that caused the Strategy framework to select the wrong execution path when looking up historical values for order keys. This caused a regression in the performance for relevant commands.
Added DEBUG logging that provides details on the execution path chosen for each lookup.
Fixed a bug that caused Order/Sort instructions that contain multiple clauses referencing the same key to drop all but the last clause for that key.
Fixed a bug that caused the concourse export CLI to not process some combinations of command line arguments properly.
Fixed a bug tha caused an error to be thrown when using the max or min function over an entire index as an operation value in a CCL statement.
Fixed several corner case bugs with Concourse's arithmetic engine that caused the calculate functions to 1) return inaccurate results when aggregating numbers of different types and 2) inexplicably throw an error when a calculation was performed on data containing null values.

Version 0.11.0 (March 4, 2022)

BREAKING CHANGES

There is only PARTIAL COMPATIBILITY between

an 0.11.0+ client and an older server, and
a 0.11.0+ server and an older client.

Due to changes in Concourse's internal APIs,

An older client will receive an error when trying to invoke any audit methods on a 0.11.0+ server.
An older server will throw an error message when any audit or review methods are invoked from an 0.11.0+ client.

Storage Format Version 3

This version introduces a new, more concise storage format where Database files are now stored as Segments instead of Blocks. In a segment file (.seg), all views of indexed data (primary, secondary, and search) are stored in the same file whereas a separate block file (.blk) was used to store each view of data in the v2 storage format. The process of transporting writes from the Buffer to the Database remains unchanged. When a Buffer page is fully transported, its data is durably synced in a new Segment file on disk.
The v3 storage format should reduce the number of data file corruptions because there are fewer moving parts.
An upgrade task has been added to automatically copy data to the v3 storage format.
- The upgrade task will not delete v2 data files, so be mindful that you will need twice the amount of data space available on disk to upgrade. You can safely manually delete the v2 files after the upgrade. If the v2 files remain, a future version of Concourse may automatically delete them for you.
In addition to improved data integrity, the v3 storage format brings performance improvements to all operations because of more efficient memory management and smarter usage of asynchronous work queues.

Atomic Commit Timestamps

All the writes in a committed atomic operation (e.g. anything from primitive atomics to user-defined transactions) will now have the same version/timestamp. Previously, when an atomic operation was committed, each write was assigned a distinct version. But, because each atomic write was applied as a distinct state change, it was possible to violate ACID semantics after the fact by performing a partial undo or partial historical read. Now, the version associated with each write is known as the commit version. For non-atomic operations, autocommit is in effect, so each write continues to have a distinct commit version. For atomic operations, the commit version is assigned when the operation is committed and assigned to each atomic write. As a result, all historical reads will either see all or see none of the committed atomic state and undo operations (e.g. clear, revert) will either affect all or affect none of the commited atomic state.

Optimizations

The storage engine has been optimized to use less memory when indexing by de-duplicating and reusing equal data components. This drastically reduces the amount of time that the JVM must dedicate to Garbage Collection. Previously, when indexing, the storage engine would allocate new objects to represent data even if equal objects were already buffered in memory.
We switched to a more compact in-memory representation of the Inventory, resulting in a reduction of its heap space usage by up to 97.9%. This has an indirect benefit to overall performance and throughput by reducing memory contention that could lead to frequence JVM garbage collection cycles.
Improved user-defined transactions by detecting when an attempt is made to atomically commit multiple Writes that toggle the state of a field (e.g. ADD name as jeff in 1, REMOVE name as jeff in 1, ADD name as jeff in 1) and only committing at most one equal Write that is required to obtain the intended state. For example, in the previous example, only 1 write for ADD name as jeff in 1 would be committed.

Performance

We improved the performance of commands that sort data by an average of 38.7%. These performance improvements are the result of an new Strategy framework that allows Concourse Server to dynamically choose the most opitmal path for data lookups depending upon the entire context of the command and the state of storage engine. For example, when sorting a result set on key1, Concourse Server will now intelligently decide to lookup the values across key1 using the relevant secondary index if key1 is also a condition key. Alternatively, Concourse Server will decide to lookup the values across key1 using the primary key for each impacted record if key1 is also a being explicitly selected as part of the operation.
Search is drastically faster as a result of the improved memory management that comes wth the v3 storage format as well as some other changes to the way that search indexes are read from disk and represented in memory. As a result, search performance is up-to 95.52% faster on real-world data.

New Functionality

Added trace functionality to atomically locate and return all the incoming links to one or more records. The incoming links are represented as a mapping from key to a set of records where the key is stored as a Link to the record being traced.
Added consolidate functionality to atomically combine data from one or more records into another record. The records from which data is merged are cleared and all references to those cleared records are replaced with the consolidated record on the document-graph.
Added the concourse-export framework which provides the Exporter construct for building tools that print data to an OutputStream in accordance with Concourse's multi-valued data format (e.g. a key mapped to multiple values will have those values printed as a delimited list). The Exporters utility class contains built-in exporters for exporting within CSV and Microsoft Excel formats.
Added an export CLI that uses the concourse-export framework to export data from Concourse in CSV format to STDOUT or a file.
For CrossVersionTests, as an alternative to using the Versions annotation., added the ability to define test versions in a no-arg static method called versions that returns a String[]. Using the static method makes it possible to centrally define the desired test versions in a static variable that is shared across test classes.
The server variable in a ClientServerTest (from the concourse-ete-test-core framework) now exposes the server configuration from the prefs() method to facilitate programatic configuration management within tests.
Added the ability to configure the location of the access credentials file using the new access_credentials_file preference in concourse.prefs. This makes it possible to store credentials in a more secure directory that is also protected againist instances when the concourse-server installation directory is deleted. Please note that changing the value of access_credentials_file does not migrate existing credentials. By default, credentials are still stored in the .access within the root of the concourse-server installation directory.
Added a separate log file for upgrade tasks (log/upgrade.log).
Added a mechanism for failed upgrade tasks to automatically perform a rollback that'll reset the system state to be consistent with the state before the task was attempted.
Added PrettyLinkedHashMap.of and PrettyLinkedTableMap.of factory methods that accept an analogous Map as a parameter. The input Map is lazily converted into one with a pretty toString format on-demand. In cases where a Map is not expected to be rendered as a String, but should be pretty if it is, these factories return a Map that defers the overhead of prettification until it is necessary.

CCL Support

Added support for specifying a CCL Function Statement as a selection/operation key, evaluation key (within a Condition or evaluation value (wthin a Conditon). A function statement can be provided as either the appropriate string form (e.g. function(key), function(key, ccl), key | function, etc) or the appropriate Java Object (e.g. IndexFunction, KeyConditionFunction, ImplicitKeyRecordFunction, etc). The default behaviour when reading is to interpret any string that looks like a function statement as a function statement. To perform a literal read of a string that appears to be a function statement, simply wrap the string in quotes. Finally, a function statement can never be written as a value.

Experimental Features

Compaction

Concourse Server can now be configured to compact data files in an effort to optimize storage and improve read performance. When enabled, compaction automatically runs continuously in the background without disrupting data consistency or normal operations (although the impact on operational throughput has yet to be determined). The initial rollout of compaction is intentionally conservative (e.g. the built-in strategy will likely only make changes to a few data files). While this feature is experimental, there is no ability to tune it, but we plan to offer additional preferences to tailor the behaviour in future releases.
Additionally, if enabled, performing compaction can be suggested to Concourse Server on an adhoc basis using the new concourse data compact CLI.
- Compaction can be enabled by setting the enable_compaction preference to true. If this setting is false, Concourse Server will not perform compaction automatically or when suggested to do so.

Search Caching

Concouse Server can now be configured to cache search indexes. This feature is currently experimental and turned off by default. Enabling the search cache will further improve the performance of repeated searches by up to 200%, but there is additional overhead that can slightly decrease the throughput of overall data indexing. Decreased indexing throughput may also indirectly affect write performance.
- The search cache can be enabled by setting the enable_search_cache preference to true.

Verify by Lookup

Concourse Server can now be configured to use special lookup records when performing a verify within the Database. In theory, the Database can respond to verifies faster when generating a lookup record because fewer irrelevant revisions are read from disk and processed in memory. However, lookup records are not cached, so repeated attempts to verify data in the same field (e.g. a counter whose value is stored against a single locator/key) or record may be slower.
- Verify by Lookup can be enabled by setting the enable_verify_by_lookup preference to true.

API Breaks and Deprecations

Upgraded to CCL version 3.1.1. Internally, the database engine has switched to using a Compiler instead of a Parser. As a result, the Concourse-specific Parser has been deprecated.
It it only possible to upgrade to this version from Concourse 0.10.6+. Previously, it was possible to upgrade to a new version of Concourse from any prior version.
Deprecated the ByteBuffers utility class in favor of the same in the accent4j library.
Deprecated PrettyLinkedHashMap.newPrettyLinkedHashMap factory methods in favor of PrettyLinkedHashMap.create.
Deprecated PrettyLinkedHashMap.setKeyName in favor of PrettyLinkedHashMap.setKeyColumnHeader
Deprecated PrettyLinkedHashMap.setValueName in favor of PrettyLinkedHashMap.setValueColumnHeader
Deprecated PrettyLinkedTableMap.setRowName in favor of PrettyLinkedHashMap.setIdentifierColumnHeader
Deprecated PrettyLinkedTableMap.newPrettyLinkedTableMap factory methods in favor of PrettyLinkedTableMap.create
Deprecated the Concourse#audit methods in favor of Concourse#review ones that take similar parameters. A review returns a Map<Timestamp, List<String>> instead of a Map<Timestamp, String> (as is the case with an audit) to account for the fact that a single commit timestamp/version may contain multiple changes.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that caused the system version to be set incorrectly when a newly installed instance of Concourse Server (e.g. not upgraded) utilized data directories containing data from an older system version. This bug caused some upgrade tasks to be skipped, placing the system in an unstable state.
Fixed a bug that made it possible for Database operations to unexpectedly fail in the rare cases due to a locator mismatch resulting from faulty indexing logic.
Fixed a bug in the serialization/deserialization logic for datasets passed between Concourse Server and plugins. This bug caused plugins to fail when performing operations that included non-trivial datasets.
Fixed a bug that caused datasets returned from Concourse Server to a plugin to have incorrect missing data when inverted.

Version 0.10.6 (September 9, 2021)

Removed limit on Block file sizes

Added support for storing data in Block files that are larger than 2147483647 bytes (e.g. ~2.147GB) and fixed bugs that existed because of the previous limitation:
- If a mutable Block exceeded the previous limit in memory it was not synced to disk and the storage engine didn't provide an error or warning, so indexing continued as normal. As a result, there was the potential for permanent data loss.
- When a mutable Block failed to sync in the manner described above, the data held in the Block remained completely in memory, resulting in a memory leak.
To accommodate the possibility of larger Block files, the BlockIndex now records position pointers using 8 bytes instead of 4. As a result, all Block files must be reindexed, which is automatically done when Concourse Server starts are new installation or upgrade.

Eliminated risks of data inconsistency caused by premature shutdown

Fixed the logic that prevents duplicate data indexing when Concourse Server prematurely shuts down or the background indexing job terminates because of an unexpected error. The logic was previously implemented to address CON-83, but it relied on data values instead of data versions and was therefore not robust enough to handle corner cases descried in GH-441 and GH-442.
- A concourse data repair CLI has been added to detect and remediate data files that are corrupted because of the abovementioned bugs. The CLI can be run at anytime. If no corrupt data files are detected, the CLI has no effect.
- Upon upgrading to this version, as a precuation, the CLIs routine is run for each environment.

Other

Fixed a bug that caused the default log_level to be DEBUG instead of INFO.

Version 0.10.5 (August 22, 2020)

Fixed a bug where sorting on a navigation key that isn't fetched (e.g. using a navigation key in a find operation or not specifying the navigation key as an operation key in a get or select operation), causes the results set to be returned in the incorrect order.
Upgraded CCL version to 2.6.3 in order to fix a parsing bug that occurred when creating a Criteria containing a String or String-like value with a whitespace or equal sign (e.g. =) character.
Fixed a bug that made it possible to store circular links (e.g. a link from a record to itself) when atomically adding or setting data in multiple records at once.
Fixed a race condition that occurred when multiple client connections logged into a non-default environment at the same time. The proper concurrency controls weren't in place, so the simultaneous connection attempts, in many cases, caused the Engine for that environment to be initialized multiple times. This did not cause any data duplication issues (because only one of the duplicate Engines would be recognized at any given time), but it could cause an OutOfMemoryException if that corresponding environment had a lot of metadata to be loaded into memory during intialization.

Version 0.10.4 (December 15, 2019)

Added support for using the LIKE, NOT_LIKE and LINKS_TO operators in the TObject#is methods.
Fixed a bug that made it possible for a ConnectionPool to refuse to accept the release of a previously issued Concourse connection due to a race condition.
Fixed a bug that made it possible for Concourse to violate ACID consistency when performing a concurrent write to a key/record alongside a wide read in the same record.
Fixed a bug that caused inconsistencies in the intrinsic order of the result set records from a find operation vs a select or get operation.

Version 0.10.3 (November 12, 2019)

Fixed an issue where the Database unnecessarily loaded data from disk when performing a read for a key in a record after a previous read for the entire record made the desired data available in memory.
Fixed a minor bug that caused the Database to create unnecessary temporary directories when performing a reindex.
The Criteria builder now creates a NavigationKeySymbol for navigation keys instead of a KeySymbol.
Fixed a bug that caused Convert#stringToJava to throw an NumberFormatException when trying to convert numeric strings that appeared to be numbers outside of Java's representation range. As a result of this fix, those kinds of values will remain as strings.
Added a ForwardingConcourse wrapper that can be extended by subclasses that provide additional functionality around a subset of Concourse methods.
Fixed a bug that prevent a custom ConnectionPool using a custom Concourse instance (e.g. one that extends ForwardingConcourse) from returning a connection of the correct class. As a result of this change, the ConnectionPool constructors that accept explicit Concourse connection parameters have been deprecated in favor of one that takes a Supplier of Concourse connections.
Fixed a bug that caused TObject#compareTo to return logically inconsistent results relative to TObject#equals. Previously, comparing TObjects with type STRING occurred in a case insensitive manner whereas the equals evaluation was case sensitive. Now, the compareTo method is case sensitive.
Added the ability to compare TObjects in a case insensitive manner.
Fixed a bug that made it possible for storage engine to return inaccurate results for REGEX and NOT_REGEX queries if matching values had different case formats.
Fixed a bug that caused historical queries to incorrectly return logically different results compared to present state queries if matching values had different case formats.
Fixed a bug that made it possible for reads within the Buffer to cause write lock starvation and resource exhaustion; preventing any further writes from occurring and generating a backlog of reads that never terminated.

Version 0.10.2 (August 24, 2019)

Fixed a bug that caused an error to be thrown when creating a Criteria containing a navigation key using the Criteria#parse factory.
Added an option to limit the length of substrings that are indexed for fulltext search. It is rare to add functionality in a patch release, but this improvement was needed to alleviate Concourse deployments that experience OutOfMemory exceptions because abnormally large String values are stuck in the Buffer waiting to be indexed. This option is turned off by default to maintain consistency with existing Concourse expectations for fulltext indexing. The option can be enabled by specifying a positive integer value for the newly added max_search_substring_length preference. When a value is supplied, the Storage Engine won't index any substrings longer than the provided value for any word in a String value.
Made internal improvements to the search indexing algorithm to reduce the number of itermediary objects created which should decrease the number of garbage collection cycles that are triggered.
Fixed a bug that caused the Engine to fail to accumulate metadata stats for fulltext search indices. This did not have any data correctness or consistency side-effects, but had the potential to make some search-related operations inefficient.
Fixed a bug that made it possible for the Database to appear to lose data when starting up after a crash or unexpected shutdown. This happened because the Database ignored data in Block files that erroneously appeared to be duplicates. We've fixed this issue by improving the logic and workflow that the Database uses to test whether Block files contain duplicate data.
Fixed a regression introduced in version 0.10.0 that made it possible for the Database to ignore errors that occurred when indexing writes. When indexing errors occur, the Database creates log entries and stops the indexing process, which is the behaviour that existed prior to version 0.10.0.
Fixed a bug that made it possible for fatal indexing errors to occur when at least two writes were written to the same Buffer page for the same key with values that have different types (i.e. Float vs Integer) but are essentially equal (i.e. 18.0 vs 18). In accordance with Concourse's weak typing system, values that are essentially the same will be properly indexed and queryable across associated types. This change requires a reindex of all block files which is automatically done when upgrading from a previous version.
Fixed a bug that causes the ManagedConcourseServer in the concourse-ete-test-core framework to take longer than necessary to allow connections in ClientServerTest cases.

Version 0.10.1 (August 6, 2019)

Fixed a regression that caused an error when attempting an action with a CCL statement containing an unquoted string value with one or more periods.

Version 0.10.0 (August 3, 2019)

BREAKING CHANGES

There is only PARTIAL COMPATIBILITY between

an 0.10.0+ client and an older server, and
a 0.10.0+ server and an older client.

Due to changes in Concourse's internal APIs,

Older client will receive an error when trying to invoke any navigate or calculation methods on a 0.10.0+ server.
Older servers will throw an error message when any navigate or calculation methods are invoked from an 0.10.0+ client.

New Features

Sorting

Concourse Server now (finally) has the ability to sort results!

A result set that returns data from multiple records (across any number of keys) can be sorted.
Concourse drivers now feature an Order framework that allows the client to specify how Concourse Server should sort a result set. An Order can be generated using an intuitive builder chain.
An Order can be specified using values for any keys; regardless of whether those keys are explictly fetched or not.
A timestamp can optionally be associated with each order component.
- NOTE: If no timestamp is specified with an order component, Concourse Server uses the value that is explicitly fetched in the request OR it looks up the value using the selection timestamp of the request. If there is no selection timestamp, the lookup returns the current value(s).
A direction (ascending or descending) can optionally be associated with each order component.
- NOTE: The default direction is ascending.
An Order can contain an unlimited number of components. If, after evaluating all the order components, two records still have the same sort order, Concourse Server automatically sorts based on the record id.
If a null value is encountered when evaluating an order components, Concourse Server pushes the record containing that null value to the "end" of the result set regardless of the order component's direction.

Pagination

Concourse Server now (finally) has the ability to page through results!

A result set that returns data from multiple records (across any number of keys) can be paginated.
Concourse drviers now feature a Page object that allows the client to specify how Concourse Server should paginate a result set. A Page is an abstraction for offset/skip and limit parameters. The Page class contains various factory methods to offset and limit a result set using various intuitive notions of pagination.

Navigable Data Reads

You can now traverse the document graph by specifying one ore more navigation keys in the following read methods:
- browse
- calculate
- get
- select
Reading a navigation key using get or select is intended to repleace the navigate methods.
When reading a navigation key in the context of one or more records, the root record (e.g the record from which the document-graph traversal starts) is mapped to the values that are retrieved from the destination records. In the navgiate methods, the destination record is associated with the destination value(s).
- For example, assume record 1 is linked to record 2 on the friends key. Record 2 contains the value Jeff for the name key...
- if you select("friends.name", 1), the return value will map 1 to [Jeff] whereas the return value of navigate("friends.name", 1) maps 2 to [Jeff].

Navigable Criteria

You can now use navigation keys in Criteria objects or ccl statements that are passed to the find, get and select methods.

ETL

Added the com.cinchapi.concourse.etl package that contains data processing utilities:
- A Strainer can be used to process a Map<String, Object> using Concourse's data model rules. In particular, the Strainer encapsulates logic to break down top-level sequence values and process their elements individually.
- The Transform class contains functions for common data transformations.

Miscellaneous

Added an iterative connection builder that is accessible using the Concourse.at() static factory method.
Added the com.cinchapi.concourse.valididate.Keys utility class which contains the #isWritable method that determines if a proposed key can be written to Concourse.
Added Parsers#create static factory methods that accept a Criteria object as a parameter. These new methods compliment existing ones which take a CCL String and TCriteria object respectively.
Upgraded the ccl dependency to the latest version, which adds support for local criteria evaluation using the Parser#evaluate method. The parsers returned from the Parsers#create factories all support local evaluation using the function defined in the newly created Operators#evaluate utility.
Added support for remote debugging of Concourse Server. Remote debugging can be enabled by specifying a remote_debugger_port in concourse.prefs.
The calculate methods now throw an UnsupportedOperationException instead of a vague RuntimeException when trying to run calculations that aren't permitted (i.e. running an aggregation on a non-numeric index).

Improvements

Refactored the concourse-import framework to take advantage of version 1.1.0+ of the data-transform-api which has a more flexible notion of data transformations. As a result of this change, the Importables utility class has been removed. Custom importers that extend DelimitedLineImporter can leverage the protected parseObject and importLines methods to hook into the extraction and import logic in a manner similar to what was possible using the Importables functions.
Refactored the Criteria class into an interface that is implemented by any language symbols that can be immediately transformed to a well-built criteria (e.g. ValueState and TimestampState). The primary benefit of this change is that methods that took a generic Object parameter and checked whether that object could be built into a Criteria have now been removed from the Concourse driver since that logic is automatically captured within the new class hiearchy. Another positive side effect of this change is that it is no longer necessary to explicitly build a nested Criteria when using the group functionality of the Criteria builder.
Improved the performance of querying certain Concourse Server methods from a plugin via ConcourseRuntime by eliminating unnecessary server-side calculations meant to facilitate analytics. These calculations will continue to be computed when the plugin receives the data from ConcourseRuntime.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that caused data imported from STDIN to not have a __datasource tag, even if the --annotate-data-source flag was included with the CLI invocation.
Fixed a bug that allowed Concourse Server to start an environment's storage engine in a partially or wholly unreadable state if the Engine partially completed a block sync while Concourse Server was going through its shutdown routine. In this scenario, the partially written block is malformed and should not be processed by the Engine since the data contained in the malformed block is still contained in the Buffer. While the malformed block files can be safely deleted, the implemented fix causes the Engine to simply ignore them if they are encountered upon initialization.
Added checks to ensure that a storage Engine cannot transport writes from the Buffer to the Database while Concourse Server is shutting down.
Fixed a bug that allow methods annotated as PluginRestricted to be invoked if those methods were defined in an ancestor class or interface of the invokved plugin.
Fixed a bug introduced by JEF-245 that caused Concourse Server to fail to start on recent versions of Java 8 and Java 9+ due to an exploitation of a JVM bug that was used to allow Concourse Server to specify native thread prioritization when started by a non-root user. As a result of this fix, Concourse Server will only try to specify native thread prioritization when started by a root user.

Deprecated and Removed Features

Removed the Strings utility class in favor of AnyStrings from accent4j.
Removed the StringSplitter framework in favor of the same from accent4j.
Deprecated Criteria#getCclString in favor of Criteria#ccl.
The navigate methods in the client drivers have been deprecated in favor of using select/get to traverse the document-graph.

Version 0.9.6 (February 16, 2019)

Fixed a bug that caused a ParseException to be thrown when trying to use a Criteria object containing a string value wrapped in single or double quotes out of necessity (i.e. because the value contained a keyword). This bug happened because the wrapping quotes were dropped by Concourse Server when parsing the Criteria.
Fixed a bug where the CCL parser failed to handle some Unicode quote characters.

Version 0.9.5 (December 30, 2018)

Fixed a bug where some of the ManagedConcourseServer#get methods in the concourse-ete-test-core package called the wrong upstream method of the Concourse Server instance under management. This had the effect of causing a runtime ClassCastException when trying to use those methods.
Fixed a bug that caused ambiguity and erroneous dispatching for query methods (e.g. #get, #navigate and #select) that have different signatures containing a long (record) or generic Object (criteria) parameter in the same position. This caused issues when a Long was provided to the method that expected a long because the dispatcher would route the request that expected an Object (criteria) parameter.
Fixed a bug in the concourse-ete-test-core framework where Timestamp objects returned from the managed server were not translated to Timestamp type from the test application's classpath.

Version 0.9.4 (October 31, 2018)

Context has been added exceptions thrown from the v2 ccl parser which makes it easier to identify what statements are causing issues.

Version 0.9.3 (October 7, 2018)

Fixed a bug that caused a NullPointerException to be thrown when trying to set configuration data in .prefs files.

Version 0.9.2 (September 3, 2018)

Deprecated the forGenericObject, forCollection, forMap and forTObject TypeAdapter generators in the TypeAdapters utility class in favor of primitiveTypesFactor, collectionFactory and tObjectFactory in the same class, each of which return a TypeAdapterFactory instead of a TypeAdapter. Going forward, please register these type adapter factories when building a Gson instance for correct Concourse-style JSON serialization semantics.
Upgraded to ccl version 2.4.1 to capture fix for an bug that caused both the v1 and v2 parsers to mishandle numeric String and Tag values. These values were treated as numbers instead of their actual type. This made it possible for queries containing those values to return inaccurate results.
Added the associated key to the error message of the Exception that is thrown when attempting to store a blank value.
Fixed a regression that caused programmatic configuration updates to no longer persist to the underlying file.
The Timestamp data type now implements the Comparable interface.

Version 0.9.1 (August 12, 2018)

Enhancements

Upgraded client and server configuration management and added support for incremental configuration overrides. Now
- Server preferences defined in conf/concourse.prefs can be individually overriden in a conf/concourse.prefs.dev file (previously override preferences in the .dev file had to be done all or nothing).
- Both server and client preferences can be individually overriden using environment variables that are capitalized and prefixed with CONCOURSE_. For example, you can override the heap_size preference with an environment variable named CONCOURSE_HEAP_SIZE.
Added Docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/cinchapi/concourse. See https://docs.cinchapi.com/concourse/quickstart for more information.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that caused Concourse to improperly interpret values written in scientific notation as a STRING data type instead of the appropriate number data type.
Fixed a bug in the logic that Concourse Server used to determine if the system's data directories were inconsistent. Because of the bug, it was possible to put Concourse in an inconsistent state from which it could not automatically recover by changing either the buffer_directory or database_directory and restarting Concourse Server. The logic has been fixed, so Concourse now accurately determines when the data directories are inconsistent and prevents the system from starting.
Fixed a bug that caused an exception to be thrown when trying to jsonify a dataset that contained a Timestamp.

Version 0.9.0 (May 30, 2018)

Vulnerabilities

Fixed a vulnerability that made it possible for a malicious plugin archive that contained entry names with path traversal elements to execute arbitrary code on the filesystem, if installed. This vulnerability, which was first disclosed by the Snyk Security Research Team, existed because Concourse did not verify that an entry, potentially extracted from a zipfile, would exist within the target directory if actually extracted. We've fixed this vulnerability by switching to the zt-zip library for internal zip handling. In addition to having protections against this vulnerability, zt-zip is battle-tested and well maintained by ZeroTurnaround. Thanks again to the Snyk Security Research Team for disclosing this vulnerability.

Security Model

Added a notion of user roles. Each user account can either have the ADMIN or USER role. ADMIN users are permitted to invoke management functions whereas accounts with the USER role are not.
- All previously existing users are assigned the ADMIN role on upgrade. You can change a user's role using the users CLI.
- The users create command now requires a role to be provided interactively when prompted or non-interactively using the --set-role parameter.
Added an edit option to the users CLI that allows for setting a user's role and/or changing the password. The password can also still be changed using the password option of the users CLI.
Removed a constraint the prevented the default admin user account from being deleted.
Added additional logging around the upgrade process.
Fixed a bug that prevented upgrade tasks from being run when upgrading a Concourse Server instance that was never started prior to the upgrade.
Upgraded some internal libraries to help make server startup time faster.
Fixed a bug in concourse-driver-java that caused the navigate functions to report errors incorrectly.
Added user permissions. Each non-admin user account can be granted permission to READ or WRITE data within a specific environment:
- Permissions can be granted and revoked for a non-admin role user by a user who has the admin role.
- Permissions are granted on a per environment basis.
- A user with READ permission can read data from an environment but cannot write data.
- A user with WRITE permission can read and write data in an environment.
- Users with the admin role implicitly have WRITE permission to every environment.
- If a user's role is downgraded from admin to user, she will have the permissions she has before being assigned the admin role.
- If a user attempts to invoke a function for which she doesn't have permission, a PermissionException will be thrown, but the user's session will not terminate.
- A user with the admin role cannot have any of her permissions revoked.
- Plugins automatically inherit a user's access (based on role and permission).
- Service users that operate on behalf of plugins have WRITE access to every environment.

Data Types

Added a Criteria#at(Timestamp) method to transform any Criteria object into one that has all clauses pinned to a specific Timestamp.
Added a static Criteria#parse(String) method to parse a CCL statement and produce an analogous Criteria object.
Streamlined the logic for server-side atomic operations to unlock higher performance potential.
Added short-circuit evaluation logic to the query parsing pipeline to improve performance.
Added a TIMESTAMP data type which makes it possible to store temporal values in Concourse.
- The concourse-driver-java API uses the Timestamp class to represent TIMESTAMP values. Please note that hallow Timestamps (e.g. those created using the Timestamp#fromString method cannot be stored as values). An attempt to do so will throw an UnsupportedOperationException.
- The concourse-driver-php uses the DateTime class to represent TIMESTAMP values.
- The concourse-driver-python uses the datetime class to represent TIMESTAMP values.
- The concourse-driver-ruby uses the DateTime class to represent TIMESTAMP values.
- The Concourse REST API allows specifying TIMESTAMP values as strings by prepending and appending a | to the value (e.g. |December 30, 1987|). It is also possible to specify a formatting pattern after the value like |December 30, 1987|MMM dd, yyyy|.
Added a Timestamp#isDateOnly method that returns true if a Timestamp does not contain a relevant temporal component (e.g. the Timestamp was created from a date string instead of a datetime string or a timestring).

Performance

Upgraded the CCL parser to a newer and more efficient version. This change will yield general performance improvements in methods that parse CCL statements during evaluation.

Developer Experience

The test Concourse instance used in a ClientServerTest will no longer be automatically deleted when the test fails. This will allow for manual inspection of the instance when debugging the test failure.
Added additional logging for plugin errors.
Added a manage interface to the driver APIs. This interface exposes a limited number of management methods that can be invoked programatically.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that caused the server to fail to start if the conf/stopwords.txt configuration file did not exist.
Fixed a bug that caused PrettyLinkedHashMap#toString to render improperly if data was added using the putAll method.
Fixed a bug in the ConcourseImportDryRun#dump method that caused the method to return an invalid JSON string.
Fixed a bug where a users whose access had been disabled was automatically re-enabled if her password was changed.

Miscellaneous

Added the ability for the storage engine to track stats and metadata about database structures.

Version 0.8.2 (April 17, 2018)

Fixed a bug in the ManagedConcourseServer#install method that caused the server installation to randomly fail due to race conditions. This caused unit tests that extended the concourse-ete-test-core framework to intermittently fail.

Version 0.8.1 (March 26, 2018)

Fixed a bug that caused local CCL resolution to not work in the findOrInsert methods.
Fixed an issue that caused conversion from string to Operator to be case sensitive.
Fixed a bug that caused the putAll method in the map returned from TrackingMultimap#invert to store data inconsistently.
Added better error handling for cases when an attempt is made to read with a value with a type that is not available in the client's version.
Fixed a bug that caused Concourse Server to unreliably stream data when multiple real-time plugins were installed.
Fixed a bug that caused Concourse Server to frequently cause high CPU usage when multiple real-time plugins were installed.
Added an isolation feature to the ImportDryRunConcourse client (from the concourse-import framework). This feature allows the client to import data into an isolated store instead of one shared among all instances. This functionality is not exposed to the import CLI (because it isn't necessary), but can be benefical to applications that use the dry-run client to programmatically preview how data will be imported into Concourse.
Added an implementation for the ImportDryRunConcourse#describe method.

Version 0.8.0 (December 14, 2017)

Added a count aggregation function that returns the number of values stored
- across a key,
- for a key in a record, or
- for a key in multiple records.
Added a max aggregation function that returns the largest numeric value stored
- across a key,
- for a key in a record, or
- for a key in multiple records.
Added a min aggregation function that returns the smallest numeric value stored
- across a key,
- for a key in a record, or
- for a key in multiple records.
Moved the ccl parsing logic into a separate library to make the process portable to plugins and other applications.
Fixed some bugs that could have caused incorrect evaluation of select(criteria), find(criteria) and related methods in some cases.
Added a TObject#is(operator, values...) method so plugins can perform local operator based comparisons for values returned from the server.

Version 0.7.3 (December 14, 2017)

Fixed a bug that caused the temporal average and sum calculations to fail if the timestamp parameter was generated from a String instead of long.
Fixed a couple of bugs that made it possible for Concourse Server to pass blank or unsanitized environment names to plugins during method invocations.
Fixed a bug that caused Criteria objects to be improperly serialized/deserialized when passed to plugin methods as arguments or used as return values.

Version 0.7.2 (November 26, 2017)

Added more detailed information to the server and plugin log files about plugin errors.
Fixed a bug where TrackingMultimap#percentKeyDataType returned NaN instead of 0 when the map was empty.
Added a memoryStorage option to the PluginStateContainer class.

Version 0.7.1 (November 22, 2017)

Fixed a bug that caused an error in some cases of importing or inserting data that contained a value of -.
Added better error message for TApplicationException in CaSH.

Version 0.7.0 (November 19, 2017)

Added navigate methods that allow selecting data based on link traversal. For example, it is possible to select the names of the friends of record 1's friends by doing
```
  navigate "friends.friends.name", 1
```
Re-implemented the users CLI to provide extensible commands. Now the users CLI will respond to:
1. create - create a new user
2. delete - delete an existing user
3. enable - restore access to a suspended user
4. password - change a user's password
5. sessions - list the current user sessions
6. suspend - revoke access for a user
Changed the envtool CLI to the environments CLI with extensible commands. The environments CLI will respond:
1. list - list the Concourse Server environments
Changed the dumptool CLI to the data CLI with extensible commands. The data CLI will respond to:
1. dump - dump the contents of a Concourse Server data file
2. list - list the Concourse Server data files
Added a CompositeTransformer to the concourse-import framework that invokes multiple transformers in declaration order.
Added a Transformers utility class to the concourse-import framework API.
Fixed a bug that caused the loss of order in plugin results that contained a sorted map.
Added a --dry-run flag to the import CLI that will perform a test import of data in-memory and print a JSON dump of what data would be inserted into Concourse.
Added support for installing multiple plugins in the same directory using the concourse plugin install </path/to/directory> command.
Implemented describe() and describe(time) methods to return all the keys across all records in the database.
Fixed a bug where the browse(keys, timestamp) functionality would return data from the present state instead of the historical snapshot.
Fixed an issue that caused plugins to use excessive CPU resources when watching the liveliness of the host Concourse Server process.
Added a bug fix that prevents service tokens from auto-expiring.
Added a ps command to the plugins CLI to display information about the running plugins.
Fixed a bug that caused the average(key) method to return the incorrect result.
Fixed a bug that caused calculations that internally performed division to prematurely round and produce in-precise results.
Fixed a bug that caused the editing and deleting an existing user with the users CLI to always fail.
Added support for defining custom importers in .jar files.
Detect when the service is installed in an invalid directory and fail appropriately.
Fixed a security bug that allowed the invokePlugin method to not enforce access controls properly.
Fixed a bug that caused management CLIs to appear to fail when they actually succeeded.
Improved the performance of the ResultDataSet#put method.
Fixed a bug in the implementation of ObjectResultDataset#count.
Deprecated Numbers#isEqual and Numbers#isEqualCastSafe in favor of better names Numbers#areEqual and Numbers#areEqualCastSafe.
Added support for getting the min and max keys from a TrackingMultimap.
Added an ImmutableTrackingMultimap class.
Fixed a bug in the TrackingMultimap#delete method.
Fixed the CPU efficiency of the JavaApp host termination watcher.
Fix bug that caused JavaApp processes to hang if they ended before the host was terminated.
Added database-wide describe method.

Version 0.6.0 (March 5, 2017)

Added calculate interface to the java driver to perform aggregations.
Added a sum aggregation function.
Added an average aggregation function.
Switched to socket-based (instead of shared memory based) interprocess communication between Concourse Server and plugins.
Assigned meaningful process names to plugins.
Added a System-Id for each Concourse Server instance.
Fixed bugs in the ObjectResultDataset implementation.
Added an end-to-end testing framework for the plugin framework.
Fixed a bug that caused some query results to be case-sensitive.
Fixed a bug that caused some query results to have inconsistent ordering.
Upgraded support for parsing natural language timestamps.
Updated the usage method of the concourse init.d script.
Fixed a bug that caused PluginContext and PluginRuntime to return different directories for a plugin's data store.
Added a progress bar for the plugin install command.
Fixed a bug that caused ConcourseRuntime to mishandle plugin results.
Clarified the proper way to use plugin hooks.
Refactored the plugin management CLI.
Fixed a bug that allowed plugins to invoke server-side transaction methods (CON-518).
Refactored the implementation of the version CLI.
Improved process forking framework.
Enabled console logging for plugins (CON-514).
Made the Transformer interface in concourse-import framework a FunctionalInterface.
Added logic to plugins to signal to Concourse Server when initialization has completed.
Added functionality to get the host Concourse Server directory from the import CLI and server-side management CLIs.
Added support for defining custom importers in an importers directory within the Concourse Server instance directory.
Added a --annotate-data-source option to the import CLI that will cause imported records to have the name of the source file added to the __datasource key.
Added support for specifying the id of the record into which data should be inserted within the JSON blob that is passed to the insert method.
Added method to TrackingMultimap that measures the spread/dispersion of the contained data.
Fixed a race condition bug in the concourse-ete-test framework.
Fixed bug that caused a preference for using random ports outside the ephemeral range.
Changed the plugin configuration to no longer require setting remote_debugger = on to enable remote debugging; now it is sufficient to just specify the remote_debugger_port preference.

Version 0.5.0 (November 3, 2016)

API Breaks

The insert(json) method now returns a Set<Long> instead of a long.
The fetch methods have been renamed select.
The get methods now return the most recently added value that exists instead of the oldest existing value.
Compound operations have been refactored as batch operations, which are now implemented server-side (meaning only 1 TCP round trip per operation) and have atomic guarantees.
Changed package names from org.cinchapi.concourse.* to com.cinchapi.concourse.*

API Additions

Added support for the Concourse Criteria Language (CCL) which allows you to specify complex find/select criteria using structured language.
Added an inventory() method that returns all the records that have ever had data.
Added select methods that return the values for a one or more keys in all the records that match a criteria.
Added a verifyOrSet method to the API that atomically ensures that a value is the only one that exists for a key in a record without creating more revisions than necessary.
Added jsonify methods that return data from records as a JSON string dump.
Added diff methods that return the changes that have occurred in a record or key/record within a range of time.
Added a find(key, value) method that is a shortcut to query for records where key equals value.
Changed the method signature of the close() method so that it does not throw a checked Exception.
Added percent sign (%) wild card functionality that matches one or more characters for REGEX and NOT_REGEX operators in find operations. The (%) wildcard is an alias for the traditional regex (*) wildcard. For example find("name", REGEX, "%Jeff%") returns the same result as find("name", REGEX, "*Jeff*") which is all the records where the name key contains the substring "Jeff".

Added support for specifying operators to find methods and the Criteria builder using string symbols. For example, the following method invocations are now identical:

  concourse.find("foo", Operator.EQUALS, "bar");
  concourse.find("foo", "=", "bar");
  concourse.find("foo", "eq", "bar");
  find("foo", eq, "bar"); // in CaSH

Added methods to limit the audit of a record or a key/record to a specified range of time.
Added atomic operations to add/insert data if there are no existing records that match the data or a specific criteria.
Deprecated Convert#stringToResolvableLinkSpecification(String, String) in the Java Driver in favor of Convert#stringToResolvableLinkInstruction(String).
Added logic to handle using arbitrary CCL strings for resolvable links when inserting or importing data.

Client Drivers

Added a native Python client driver
Added a native PHP client driver
Added a native Ruby client driver
Added REST API functionality to Concourse Server that can be enabled by specifying the http_port in concourse.prefs.

CaSH

Fixed a bug in CaSH where pressing CTRL + C at the command prompt would unexpectedly exit the shell instead of returning a new prompt.
Added a feature to automatically preserve CaSH command history across sessions.
Changed CaSH error exit status from 127 to 1.
Added -r and --run options to the cash CLI that allow the execution of commands inline without launching the entire CaSH application.
Added a whoami variable to CaSH that displays the current Concourse user.

Added support for multi-line input in CaSH. For example, you can now write complex routines that span several lines like:

  [default/cash]$ for(long record : find("attending", eq, "Y")){
  > count+= fetch("name", record).size();
  > println fetch("name", record);
  > }

Added the ability to request help information about specific functions in CaSH using the help <function> command.
Display performance logging using seconds instead of milliseconds.
Added functionality to pre-seed the CaSH environment with an external run commands groovy script using the --run-commands <script> or --rc <script> flag. Any script that is located in ~/.cashrc is automatically loaded. There is also an option to disable loading any run commands script using the --no-run-commands or --no-rc flags.
Added the ability to exclude parenthesis when invoke methods that don't take any arguments. For example, the following method invocations are identical:
```
  [default/cash] getServerVersion
  [default/cash] getServerVersion()
```
Added show records command which will display all the records in Concourse that have data.

CLIs

Added support for invoking server-side scripts via the concourse CLI. So, if the concourse CLI is added to the $PATH, it is possible to access the server scripts from any location. For example, you can access the import CLI like:
```
  $ concourse import -d /path/to/data
```
Added functionality to client and management CLIs to automatically use connnection information specified in a concourse_client.prefs file located in the user's home directory. This gives users the option to invoke CLIs without having to specify any connection based arguments.
Added --version option to get information about the Concourse Server version using the concourse CLI.
Added option to perform a heap dump of a running Concourse Server instance to the concourse CLI.
Added an uninstall script/option to the concourse CLI that safely removes the application data for a Concourse Server instance, while preserving data and logs.
Added support for performing interactive imports using the import CLI.
Added support for importing input piped from the output of another command with the import CLI.
Added an upgrade action that checks for newer versions of Concourse Server and automatically upgrades, if possible.

Performance

Improved the performance of the set operation by over 25 percent.
Added logic to the verify methods to first check if a record exists and fail fast if possible.
Optimized the way in which reads that query the present state delegate to code paths that expect a historical timestamp (CON-268).
Removed unnecessary locking when adding or reading data from a block index (CON-256).
Improved efficiency of string splitting that occurs during indexing and searching.

Configuration

Added functionality to automatically choose a shutdown_port based on the specified client_port.
Added logic to automatically calculate the heap_size preference based on the amount of system memory if a value isn't explicitly given in concourse.prefs.
Added option to skip system-wide integration when installing Concourse Server. The syntax is
```
 $ sh concourse-server.bin -- skip-integration
```

Miscellaneous

Changed from the MIT License to the Apache License, Version 2.0.
Replaced the StringToTime library with Natty.
Replaced the Tanuki Java Service Wrapper library with a custom implementation.
Added text coloring to the output of various CLIs.
Added logic to check if Concourse Server is uninstalled incorrectly.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that caused transactions to prematurely fail if an embedded atomic operation didn't succeed (CON-263).
Java Driver: Fixed an issue in the where the client would throw an Exception if a call was made to the commit() method when a transaction was not in progress. Now the client will simply return false in this case.
Fixed an issue that caused the concourse and cash scripts to fail when added to the $PATH on certain Debian systems that did not have sh installed.
Fixed an issue where using a future timestamp during a "historical" read in an atomoc operation allowed the phantom read phenomenon to occur (CON-259).
Fixed an issue that caused client connections to crash when inserting invalid JSON (CON-279).
Fixed a bug that caused the storage engine to erroneously omit valid results for a query if the query contained a clause looking for a numerical value with a different type than that which was stored (CON-326).
Fixed an issue that prevented the import CLI from properly handling relative paths. (CON-172).
Fixed a bug where the upgrade framework initializer ran during the installation process which almost always resulted in a scenario where the framework set the system version in the wrong storage directories. (GH-86)

Version 0.4.4 (March 2, 2015)

Fixed an issue where transactions and atomic operations unnecessarily performed pre-commit locking during read operations, which negatively impacted performance and violated the just-in-time locking protocol (CON-198/CON-199).
Added logic to prevent the Buffer from attempting a scan for historical data that is older than any data that is currently within the Buffer (CON-197).
Added group sync: an optimization that improves Transaction performance by durably fsyncing committed writes to the Buffer in bulk. Transactions still honor the durability guarantee by taking a full backup prior to acknowledging a successful commit (CON-125).
Improved the performance of releasing locks by moving garbage collection of unused locks to a background thread.
Improved the performance for upgrading range locks and checking for range conflicts by using collections that shard and sort range tokens.
Improved Transaction write performance by using local bloom filters to speed up verifies.
Fixed a bug where storage engine methods that touched an entire record (e.g. browse(record) and audit(record)) or an entire key (browse(key)) were not properly locked which potentially made reads inconsistent (CON-239).
Fixed an issue where transactions unnecessarily performed double write validation which hurt performance (CON-246).
Fixed a major memory leak that occurred when transactions were aborted or failed prior to committing (CON-248).
Added logging to indicate if the background indexing job terminates because of an uncaught error (CON-238).
Fixed an issue where the background indexing job could be wrongfully terminated because it appeared to be stalled when doing a large amount of work.
Fixed a memory-leak issue where Concourse Server did not release resources for abandoned transactions if the client started a transaction and eventually started another one without explicitly committing or aborting the previous one (CON-217).
Fixed various issues and performance bottlenecks with syncing storage blocks to disk.
Improved the names of several Concourse Server threads.

Version 0.4.3 (February 1, 2015)

In this release we made lots of internal optimizations to further build on the performance improvements in versions 0.4.1 and 0.4.2. Many of them are small, but a few of the larger ones are highlighted below. In total, our efforts have produced additional speed improvements of 53 percent for queries, 80 percent for range queries, 65 percent for writes and 83 perecent for background indexing.

Added auto adjustable rate indexing where the throughput of the background indexing job will increase or decrease inversely with query load to prevent contention.
Lowered the threshold for Java to start compiling server methods to native code.
Implemented priority locks that ensure readers and writers always take precedence over the background indexing job when there is contention.
Increased internal caching of some frequently used objects to reduce the overhead for initialization and garbage collection.
Switched to using StampedLocks with optimistic reads in some places to reduce the overhead of accessing certain resources with little or no contention.
Eliminated unnecessary intermediate copies of data in memory when serializing to disk.
Switched to a faster hash function to generate lock tokens.
Switched from using the default ConcurrentHashMap implementation to one backported from Java 8 for better performance.
Improved the efficiency of the background indexing job by re-using worker threads.
Improved heuristics to determine bloom filter sizing.
Where appropriate, added some bloom filters that are less precise but have faster lookup times.
Switched to using soft references for revisions in recently synced data blocks so that they avoid disk i/o unless absolutely necessary due to memory pressure.
Added a more compact representation for revisions in memory to reduce bloat.
Made miscellaneous optimizations for sensible performance gains.
Upgraded the Tanuki wrapper to version 3.5.26 to fix an issue where Concourse Server on OS X Yosemite (10.10) systems mistakenly tried to start using 32-bit native libraries.
Added an envtool CLI that can be used to manage environments in Concourse Server.
Added a --list-sessions action to the useradmin CLI to list all the currently active user session in Concourse Server.
Removed unnecessary locking that occurred when performing writes in a transaction or atomic operation.

Version 0.4.2 (October 4, 2014)

Improved the way that the storage engine processes find queries, resulting in a further speed improvement of over 35 percent.
Fixed a bug with real-time transaction failure detection that made it possible for phantom reads to occur.
Fixed an issue that caused Concourse Server to drop transaction tokens when under increased concurrency.
Fixed a bug in the just-in-time locking protocol that prematurely removed references to active locks.
Fixed a bug where transactions that started to commit but failed before completing did not release locks, resulting in deadlocks.
Fixed an issue where transactions unnecessarily grabbed locks twice while committing.
Fixed an issues that made it possible for deadlocks to occur with many concurrent Transactions performing atomic operations (i.e. set).
Improved the javadoc for the Tag datatype.
Fixed a bug where the Tag#toString method threw a NullPointerException if the Tag was created using a null value.
Add a min method to the Numbers utility class.
Fixed a bug that caused the insert methods to incorrectly store values encoded as resolvable link specifications as strings instead of links to resolved records.
Added a heap_size preference in concourse.prefs that configures the initial and max heap for the Concourse Server JVM.

Version 0.3.8 (October 4, 2014)

Fixed a bug where database records and indexes were not properly cached. Now, reads are over 87 percent faster.
Removed a potential race-condition between real-time failure detection and just-in-time locking that made it possible for an failed transaction to errneously commit and violate ACID consistency.
Fixed a bug where the Numbers#max method actually returned the minimum value.

Version 0.4.1 (September 13, 2014)

Reduced the number of primary record lookups required to perform a find query which yields up to an order of magnitude in increased speed.
Fixed a bug that accidentally stripped underscore _ characters from environment names.
Further improved the CPU efficiency of the background indexing processes.
Fixed a bug that made it possible for Concourse Server to experience thread leaks.
Fixed a bug that prevented backticks from being stripped in JSON encoded Tag values.
Added cached and fixed ConnecitionPool factory methods that use the default connection info when creating new instances.
Fixed a bug that caused some management CLIs to unnecssarily prompt for authentication instead of immediately displaying the usage message when an insufficent number of arguments were presented.
Fixed a bug that caused the Criteria builder to improperly handle values with leading and trailing backticks.
Made Concourse implement the java.lang.AutoCloseable interface.
Fixed an issue where upgrades failed because the system version was not set for new installations.
Fixed bugs that made it possible for atomic operations started from a Transaction to spin in an infinite loop if the Transaction failed prior to being committed.
Added a TransactionException with a clear error message that is thrown when (staged) operations in a Transaction fail prior to being committed because of a data change.

Version 0.3.7 (September 13, 2014)

Fixed an issue that caused Concourse Server to unnecessarily keep file descriptors open after data was indexed and synced to disk.
Fixed an issue that made it possible for Concourse to lose some storage metadata in the event of a premature server crash or power loss.
Improved CaSH by removing the display of meaningless performance logging when a user merely presses the enter key at the prompt.

Version 0.4.0 (June 30, 2014)

Environments

Added support for multiple environments, which allows users to store data for different purposes (i.e. staging vs production) separately while managing them with the same Concourse Server. Users are automatically connected to a configurable default_environment (concourse.prefs) if none is specified at login. Alternatively, users can connect to or dynamically create a new environment by
- using the new Concourse#connect(host, port, username, password, environment) or Concourse#connect(environment) login methods,
- adding environment = <name> to the concourse_client.prefs file and using the Concourse#connect() or ``Concourse#connect(host, port, username, password)` login methods, or
- specifying an environment name using the -e flag when launching CaSH like:
```
  $ ./cash -e production
```
Added support for specifying environments using the -e flag to applicable server-side management CLIs (i.e. dumptool) and the import CLI.
Added support for specifying environments with the ConnectionPool API.
Improved the CaSH prompt to display the current environment like:
```
  production/cash$
```

API

Added a Criteria building feature that allows users to programatically create complex queries with multiple clauses and groups. This is particularly helpful when programming in an IDE that offers code completion.
Added a method to the Convert utility class to transform a JSON formatted string into a multimapping of keys to appropriate Java primitives.
Added new core API methods:
- browse returns a complete view of all the data presently or historically associated with a either a record or a key.
- chronologize returns a chronological series of all the values for a key in a record over time.
- clear now has an option to atomically remove all the data contained in an entire record.
- find now has an option to process a complex Criteria using a single network call.
- insert writes serveral key/value mappings from a JSON encoded string into one or more records with a single network call.
Added LINKS_TO Operator (aliased as lnk2 in CaSH) to make it easy to include links in find criteria. For example, the following statements are equivalent:
```
  concourse.find(\"foo\", Operator.LINKS_TO, 1);
  concourse.find(\"foo\", Operator.EQUALS, Links.to(1));
```
Added a new Tag datatype for the purpose of storing a string value without performing full text search indexing. A Tag can be created programatically using the Tag#create method and in CaSH using the tag() alias.

Usability

Improved the usability of the useradmin CLI and deprecated the --grant and --revoke options.
Added requirement that new passwords be 3 or more characters long.
Improved the dumptool CLI to list dumpable storage units by default if no -i or --id argument is specified. As a result the --list flag is now deprecated since it is unnecessary.
Added logic to terminate a CaSH session if a relevant security change occurs.
Improved readability of log files by removing redundant information from log messages.
Added the optional installation of the concourse and cash scripts to the $PATH via /usr/local/bin during installation or upgrade so that they can be invoked from any location.
Added the optional symlinking of the server log files to /var/log/concourse during installation or upgrade.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue that prevented strings from being sorted in a case insensitive manner.
Fixed a bug that causes some historical queries to return incorrect results.

Miscellaneous

Added a framework to securely migrate stored data to new formats when upgrading Concourse Server.
Improved the CPU efficiency of the background indexing process.
Changed the startup script to use .concourse.conf instead of concourse.conf for configuration.
Updated CaSH documentation.

Version 0.3.6 (June 30, 2014)

Fixed a bug that caused string values to be sorted inconsitently.
Fixed an infinite loop that caused Concourse Server to stack overflow when used with JRE 8.
Fixed an issue where the stock concourse.prefs documentation referred to the default buffer_page_size as 8MB when its actually 8KB.
Changed the daemon Concourse Server process name to display as ConcourseServer instead of WrapperSimpleApp.
Updated the concourse-config dependency to version 1.0.5 which fixes and issue that caused passwords to be incorrecctly read from concourse_client.prefs files.

Version 0.3.5 (May 26, 2014)

Added support for using short syntax in nested commands in CaSH. For example, the following commands are equivalanet and can now be used interchanably:
```
  cash$ get(describe(1), find(\"name\", eq, 1))
  cash$ concourse.get(concourse.describe(1), concourse.find(\"name\", eq, 1))
```
Fixed a bug that caused a deadlock when committing a transaction that wrote a value to a key and then subsequently performed a query against the key that included the value directly.
Fixed a bug that made it possible for the server to hang after reaching an inconsistent state caused by the Buffer expanding to accommodate new data written by one client while simultaneously servicing a read request for another client.
Fixed a bug that prvented the server from starting after an unexpected shutdown corrupted an uncommited transaction.
Fixed a bug that caused the database to appear to lose data if the database_directory preference was specified using a relative path.
Fixed a bug that made it possible for the server to accidentally reindex data when starting up after an unexpected shutdown.
Added checks to detect and warn about the existence of duplicate data that can safely be deleted without affecting data consistency.
Improved memory management by using soft references and just-in-time metadata retrieval.
Added logic to detect and repair stalled background index jobs.
Fixed an issue that caused the server to unreliably lock resources under load.
Fixed an bug that failed to prevent the addition of circular links.
Improved CLI usability by displaying the username alongside the interactive password prompt and making it possible to display the help/usage text without authenticating.
Added a CLI to import CSV files.
Added logic to rollover and archive log files once they reach 10MB in size.

Version 0.3.4 (April 13, 2014)

Added support for issuing commands in CaSH using short syntax. Short syntax allows the user to make Concourse API calls by invoking the desired method directly by name instead of prepending the invocation with concourse.. For example, the following commands are all equivalent and can now be used interchangably in stand-alone statements:
```
  cash$ add(\"name\", \"jeff\", 1)
  cash$ concourse.add(\"name\", \"jeff\", 1)
  cash$ add \"name\", \"jeff\", 1
  cash$ concourse.add \"name\", \"jeff\", 1
```
Improved the toString() output of Timestamp objects so that they match the following format: Thu Apr 03, 2014 @ 1:32:42:54 PM PDT.
Fixed an issue that caused the server to incorrectly lock resources when processing lots of concurrent reads/writes to a record or key in record.
Fixed an issue that caused the server to deadlock if an error occured while indexing data in the background.
Fixed an issue where the installer would launch a separate X11 window when configuring the concourse-server directory in some environments.

Version 0.3.3 (March 25, 2014)

Upgraded Tanuki service wrapper to version 3.5.24 which fixes an issue that prevented the server from starting in OSX Mavericks.
Consolidated service wrapper native libraries in wrapper directory within the root of the concourse-server installation.
Added support for 32-bit Linux and OSX systems.
Added --list and -l flags to the dumptool CLI to display a list of dumpable storage units.
Fixed a bug that caused some searches to return false-positive results.
Fixed a bug that caused mishandling of data containing leading or trailing whitespaces.
Fixed a bug that made it possible to see inconsistent search results if a query was issued while the engine was indexing relavent data in the background.
Fixed a bug that caused a deadlock when committing a transaction that performed a range query against a key and then subsequently added that key to a record as a value within the range.
Made server-side jmx_port configurable in concourse.prefs.

Version 0.3.2 (March 16, 2014)

Added support for creating a cached connection pool that continues to establish new connections on demand, but will use previously created ones when possible.
Deprecated the ConnectionPool#newConnectionPool factory methods in favour of more descriptive ones.
Added a method to the Convert utility class to transform a raw string value to the appropriate java primitive.
Added a method to the Convert utility class to transform a raw string value to a resolvable link specification that instructs the receiver to add a link in a record to all the records that map a certain key to that value.
Made server-side client_port and shutdown_port parameters configurable in concourse.prefs.
Added check on server startup to ensure that the buffer_directory and database_directory parameters are not identical.
