Teiid 8.0.alpha1 - JBoss AS7 based Teiid

By
Teiid Team is proud to announce the availability of Teiid 8.0-alpha1 release. This is the first release of Teiid that is based on JBoss AS 7 as host environment. It is also start of the next major revision for Teiid and departure from Teiid 7.x releases. There will not be any more 7.x based releases. There is still lot more work to do for 8.0 Final release, this is our effort to get the community involved early on and weed out any possible regressions.

There are many things changed with respect to AS7, as it completely re-written and entirely different from JBoss 5.x and 6.x releases. For details please see the AS7 documentation. That means there are numerous changes tricked down for Teiid too. I will list some issues to look out for

  • All the deprecated features from the 7.x release have been removed.
  • AS7 provides completely new way of configuration. Teiid utilizes this new configuration mechanism. Fully Supports CLI based administration.
  • Deployment of artifacts such as vdbs and data sources is different from 7.x releases
  • Class loading in AS7 is modularized, that means no more copying of your jdbc jar files into "lib" directory and expect to work. 
  • We are in process of updating the documents to reflect changes (we have done some).
  • Dynamic VDB is not working yet. It will be fixed before final (AS7-1920)
  • Designer is not yet available for 8.0.0.alpha1 release, however you can still use the older Designer to build the VDB. The preview functionality will not work with new server yet. (This will be coming soon..)
  • No "admin-console" application available yet for Teiid. If you can contribute for this please talk to us. We are looking for developers with GWT experience.
If you have VDBs from previous release, they work as is, if you were not using any deprecated features. There is a change as to how you deploy the VDB and how you create the data sources to be used by the VDB. There is absolutely no change in how you access the data, that is JDBC interface.

Excited? if you want to take it for test drive,
  1. Download the AS7-CR1 release and install it by unzipping it
  2. Download the Teiid 8.0.alpha1 and overly the zip file on AS7 install directory
Then start the Teiid in "standalone" mode

${as7-install}/bin/standalone.sh --server-config=standalone-teiid.xml

to start in the "domain" mode

${as7-install}/bin/domain.sh -c domain-teiid.xml --host-config=host-teiid.xml

Surprised? What was your boot time? This is just a beginning. We plan to write couple blogs during this 8.0 release that introduces to all advantages of the new AS7 + Teiid 8.0 platform. Stay tuned.


Thank you.

The Teiid Team.

Tech Tip: Teiid SQL Language MAKEDEP Hint Explained

By
In this article I will explain what a MAKEDEP hint is, how and when, why it should be used in Teiid. What: MAKEDEP is query hint.  When a query hint is defined in the SQL query it influences the Teiid query planner to optimize the query in a way that is driven by the user. MAKEDEP means "make this as a dependent join". What is a Dependent Join? For example if we have query like: SELECT * FROM X INNER JOIN Y ON X.PK = Y.FK Where the data for X, and Y are coming from two different sources like Oracle and WebService in Teiid, so in relational algebra you can represent above query as Here the result tuples from node X and node Y are being simultaneously fetched by Teiid query engine, then it joins the both the results inside Teiid engine based on the specified X.PK = Y.PK condition and returns the filtered resulted to the user. simple.. Now, what if, if X table has 5 rows and Y table has 100K rows? In order to do the JOIN naively Teiid need sto read all the 5

Teiid 8.11 Beta1 and 8.10.1 Released

By
Teiid 8.11 Beta1 is now available from the  downloads  and maven.  Feature highlights since Alpha2 include: TEIID-3434 More caching control over ttls in the result set cache down to the schema/table level. TEIID-3412 MS Access support via the UCanAccess driver. The UCanAccess support is necessary for those running on Java 1.8 as the JDBC ODBC bridge has been removed from the JRE. The waiting continues on EAP 6.4 Alpha1 - it still should be available shortly and should be the platform target for Teiid 8.11 Beta2. Of course, let us know if you find any issues with these early releases.  There's still plenty of time to get fixes into the final release. Teiid 8.10.1 is also available.  It addresses 5 important issues discovered since 8.10 was released: [ TEIID-3409 ] - PostgreSQLExecutionFactory TranslatorProperty annotation in wrong place [ TEIID-3437 ] - Inconsistencies with row count handling [ TEIID-3438 ] - Null value returned from BlobImpl
