Oracle® Fusion Middleware

This section outlines the new features that are being introduced in the release, features that have been enhanced, and changes to existing features.

• 12.3.1.1.0 Release — August 2017
  

• The Elasticsearch, Kafka Connect, and Amazon Kinesis Handlers are introduced for the corresponding targets.

• The HBase byte fields support was changed so that binary source data is moved into HBase as binary data. It is no longer converted to Base64.

• The Kafka Connect and Kinesis Handler were changed to use templates to resolve the Kafka topic and the message key. New configuration properties are introduced and some previous properties were removed.

• The HDFS Handler was changed to use templates to generate HDFS file names. New configuration properties are introduced and some previous properties were removed.

• The Cloudera CDH moved to HBase 1.0.0 in CDH version 5.4.0 to keep reverse compatibility with HBase 0.98.x and earlier. The HBase client in the CDH severed binary compatibility with Apache HBase 1.0.0. This change allows you to use the HBase Handler to connect to Cloudera HBase for versions 5.4.x, which the HBase Handler is configured to use the HBase 1.0 interface to dynamically use Java Reflection.

This section lists the properties that have been added, changed, or documented for the first time for the release.

• Initial Release 12.3.1.1.0— August 2017
