Igniters, I'm happy to announce that the third alpha version of Ignite 3 is out!
On top of the functionality that was previously released, Alpha 3 adds the following major features: - New SQL engine based on Apache Calcite with implemented JDBC driver. - Persistence implementation based on RocksDB. - New binary client protocol with an implementation in Java. - Data rebalancing. Code examples have been added for the new features, you can check them out here: https://github.com/apache/ignite-3/tree/3.0.0-alpha3/examples The best way to try the release out is to go through the Getting Started Guide: https://ignite.apache.org/docs/3.0.0-alpha If there are any questions, issues, or thoughts, please do not hesitate to reply to this email. Ignite Community is welcoming any feedback and will consider it in future development. -Val
