Downloads for the release can be found here: Downloads.
Tiered Storage (Alpha)
Version 0.6.0 introduces the first iteration of a key feature in Tachyon, tiered storage. Support for different levels of storage in Tachyon is crucial for providing users flexibility in storing their data. Tachyon will support a hierarchy of storage devices, such as memory, SSD, and HDD. Users will be able to spill data across tiers to achieve better performance. We look forward to expanding this feature with subsequent releases.
Deployment Support
Deploying Tachyon is much easier in the 0.6.0 release. Tachyon now includes scripts for deploying a cluster via Docker or Vagrant, enabling new users to get started quickly and developers to easily simulate a deployed cluster.
Netty Data Server
Data transfer is one of Tachyon’s core functions. In this release, the data server implementation is redesigned with the Netty framework, providing both a more performant and maintainable solution.
