Kiba v2.5.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-05-29 // almost 5 years ago
  • Aggregating / buffering transforms

    ๐Ÿš€ A Transform's close can now yield rows (this requires the new StreamingRunner, see v2.0.0 release notes).

    ๐Ÿ‘ This will let component implementers support new types of scenarios:

    • Batch transforms (such as the upcoming Kiba Pro ParallelTransform, or batch SQL lookups)
    • Grouping of rows (including in-memory or db-backed sort, normalisation operations, map operations)

    ๐Ÿ‘€ See #57 for more background & explanations.

    ๐Ÿ’Ž Ruby compatibility notice

    ๐Ÿ’Ž Kiba now requires MRI Ruby 2.3+, JRuby 9.1+ or TruffleRuby.

    โœ… This is done to reduce the testing burden, to encourage users to avoid EOL'ed rubies, and to let me use more recent Ruby features when relevant.

    Other tweaks

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fix incorrect error message when calling transform nil (#73 - thanks @envygeeks for the report).
    • ๐Ÿ›  Fix code & documentation links on Rubygems (#71 - thanks @janko).
