Apache Karaf 2.2.2 available

A new Apache Karaf version is available. If it’s mainly a bug fixes release, it includes some small enhancements.

Especially, we added a completer for shell aliases. It means that you add a new command alias in etc/shell.init.script, the TAB key will look for aliases in addition of pure commands.

Another interesting enhancement used in Apache CXF and Apache Camel is that the feature Maven plugin now “embeds” the Karaf core features. It means that it’s no more required to define <repository>mvn:org.apache.karaf.assemblies.features/standard/2.2.2/xml/features</repository> in your features descriptors: it’s the default.

You can take a look on the complete release note.

I’m going to update Karaf related projects (CXF, Camel, ServiceMix, TIF, TSF) and focus on Apache Karaf Cellar 2.2.1 version 😉

Apache Karaf Minho Apache Karaf Minho is a new runtime, completely created from scratch. The objectives are: super easy to use and run ligtning fast, including GraalVM support Kubernetes compliant to be easily used on the cloud helping to optimize cloud costs by supporting applications colocation providing turnkey services allowing you to create Minho applications in a minute Minho is composed by: minho-boot is the core of Minho. It contains the runtime launcher and the core services (service registry, lifecycle service, configuration service, ...). minho-* services provided additional functionnalities in the runtime. You can use these services to create your own services, it's also where you will find the services managing sepcific kind of applications, allowing colocation. minho-tooling optionally provide convenient tools to create your own runtime.

Using Apache Karaf with Kubernetes

Image
In a previous blog post ( http://blog.nanthrax.net/?p=893 ), I introduced the “new” docker support in Karaf and the use of Karaf static distribution. This post follows the previous one by illustrating how to use Karaf docker image with a Kubernetes cluster. Preparing Karaf static docker image As in the previous blog post, we are preparing a Karaf static distribution based docker image. For this blog post, I’m using the example provided in Karaf: https://github.com/apache/karaf/tree/master/examples/karaf-docker-example/karaf-docker-example-static-dist . I’m just building the distribution as usual: karaf-docker-example-static-dist$ mvn clean install Preparing kubernetes testing cluster For this blog, I’m using a minikube installed locally. The installation is pretty simple: Download minikube from https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 Rename minikube-linux-amd64 as minikube Copy minikube in your path, for instance /usr/local/bin Now that minikube

Exposing Apache Karaf configurations with Apache Arrow Flight

Image
This blog post shows how to use Apache Arrow and Arrow Flight in Apache Karaf runtime. The code base is available here: https://github.com/jbonofre/karaf-arrow . Apache Arrow ? Apache Arrow is composed by: The Arrow format (specification). Format implementations with different languages (C, Java, Go, Rust, ...). Extra subprojects like Flight, Flight SQL, ADBC, nanoarrow, ... Apache Arrow format is a in-memory columnar format, super efficient for scanning and iterating a large chunks of data. In traditional memory buffer, we focus on "row". Apache Arrow format "groups" data per column, which is much more efficient on modern CPUs/GPUs. The Apache Arrow format is basically a specification. We have several implementations for this specification: C C++ C# Go Java Python Ruby Rust As the purpose of this blog post is to show Apache Arrow in Apache Karaf, we will use Arrow Java. In addition, Apache Arrow also provides several
