Upgrade notes
Major fixed issues
Since the release of the R2014 indexing server, release R2013x.SP3 remained faster on certain use cases. This is no longer the case with the R2014x.SP3 service pack. For this maintenance release, we focused on filling these remaining performance gaps and even went beyond to deliver the fastest CloudView to date.
For information about new features, see the online help: About this Release > What's New.
Improvements
Platform
Indexing
• Faster Java document processors (up to 2 time faster) #21703.
• Improved importing zipped alphanum attributes #21301.
Search
• Added ability to secured category-based suggest like any other suggest #14195.
• Explicit sort order can be used with query-time facets #21124.
• Faster sort on alphanum fields #20016.
• Added ability to control the maximum number of categories retrieved per slice. This increases synthesis speed by reducing the number of results to import and merge from all slices #21843.
o ex: q=%23all&hf=0&sle=set:facetsConfig.facet[categoryField="my_categories"].maxSliceCategories=1
• Avoid creating cells with no results (count=0) while generating tree representation of multi-dimensional categories. This reduces the memory footprint #16866.
Semantics
• Improved logging feedback on Extended Languages #21695.
• Added a second tokenization pass when using Extended Languages to ensure consistent output between native and Extended Language tokenizations #21475.
Security
• Security client and security command allow empty password to support security sources with users without passwords #22077.
Mashup
API
• Storage JavaScript client no longer uses custom HTTP header X-360Storage-Num-Returned which is deprecated and will be removed in a future version #21822.
Documentation
• Exchange Connector Guide: configuring impersonation on a subset of mailboxes. See "Preparing the Microsoft Exchange Server > Configure the user account rights".
• Connector Programmer Guide: better Subtractor sample in "Advanced Operations & Best Practices > Calculating a diff between Two Data Sources".
• Installation & Administration Guide: the "Securing CloudView" chapter has been entirely reviewed.
Upgrade notes
Supported platforms
R2014x was the last CloudView version to support RedHat 5. R2015x will support RedHat 6 only.
Changes that can break things
• Change which can break the compatibility of plugins. In previous CloudView versions, the class loading model was an uncommon mix between the java standard mode (where the parent classloader is checked first) and the webapp "reverse" mode.
In 2014x.SP2, we have replaced this mode by two distinct modes:
o The default mode is the java standard mode, because it is the closest to the previous mode.
However, as it is slightly different, you may encounter issues where classes for external libraries embedded in your plugins are not used as they were before (and the versions shipped in CloudView are used instead).
o The reverse mode should help to fix this issue. To activate this mode in your plugin:
1. Edit the cvplugin.properties file
2. Set the plugin.reverse-classloading property to true (plugin.reverse-classloading=true)
Note: You can also edit the @CVPlugin class with the following annotation:
@CVPluginClassLoading(reverseClassLoading=true)
