Timeplus Enterprise 2.4

Each release of Timeplus Enterprise includes the following components:

  • timeplusd: The core SQL engine
  • timeplus_appserver: The application server to provide web console access and REST API
  • timeplus_web: The web console static resources, managed by timeplus_appserver
  • timeplus_connector: The service to provide extra sources and sinks, managed by timeplus_appserver
  • timeplus: The CLI (Command Line Interface) to start/stop/manage the deployment.

Each component tracks their changes with own version numbers. The version number for each Timeplus Enterprise release is a verified combination of Timeplus components.

Key Highlights​

Key highlights of this release:

  • Distributed Mutable Streams for high performance query and UPSERT (UPDATE or INSERT), with primary keys, secondary keys, column families, sorting columns, parallel full scan and many more
  • External Streams to query or write to remote Timeplus, designed for data migration or hybrid deployment
  • Built-in system observability. Your workspace now comes with a system dashboard to monitor your cluster, including charts for running nodes and failed nodes, read/write throughput and EPS, used disk storage, and more. See additional metrics for resources in the details side panel, accessed via the data lineage or resource list pages, including status and any last errors
  • Kafka schema registry support for Avro output format
  • Read/write Kafka message keys via _tp_message_key column
  • More performance enhancements, including:
    • Concurrent and idempotent data ingestion
    • Memory efficiency improvement for window processing
    • Independent shard query processing
    • Async query state and materialized view checkpointing
    • JOIN performance enhancements
  • After running a streaming query in the SQL console, you can check out the its query pipeline, or execution plan. Click "View Query Pipeline" under the SQL editor, and mouseover on the throughput boxes to see processing times
  • Timeplus Native JDBC with streaming SQL and fast insert
