Dear Apache DataSketches community, The Apache DataSketches team is proud to announce the release of Apache DataSketches Java 5.0.2.
This is the core Java component of the DataSketches library that includes all the sketch algorithms in production-ready packages. These sketches can be called directly from this component or used in conjunction with the adapter components such as Apache Druid, Apache Pig, Apache Hive etc. This is a patch release with the following changes: - Fix Issue 527 <https://github.com/apache/datasketches-java/issues/527>: Properly use the comparator for sorting level 0 in the KllItemsSketch - A new version of SpotBugs created a number of potential security warnings around Finalizer Attacks. Having done our best to look into the matter, we do not believe sketches are meaningfully vulnerable -- any data in the sketches is already available via reflection and there are no methods with special conditional access. Regardless, we felt that good code hygiene meant that we should prioritize fixing any issues found. Release on Github: https://github.com/apache/datasketches-java/releases/tag/5.0.2 Javadoc: https://apache.github.io/datasketches-java/5.0.2 Download page: https://datasketches.apache.org/docs/Community/Downloads.html Jars are also available through Maven Central as a convenience. Thank you to the PMC members and community for taking the time to review this release! Jon Malkin jmal...@apache.org
