Oracle Coherence is the industry's leading distributed in-memory data grid product. This release contains many new features that help reduce complexity, ease configuration, and accelerate time to market of scalable solutions.
New and Improved for 12.2.1.2.0
Custom Federation Participants – Custom participants allow applications to federate data to multiple non-Coherence end-points or resources. For example, cache data can be federated to a database, message bus, log file, and so on. Custom participants are implemented as event interceptors and are configured as part of a federation topology. For more information, see "Federating Events to Custom Participants" in Administering Oracle Coherence.
HotCache Enhancements – Coherence includes new HotCache functionality. The functionality includes:
HotCache JPA properties – JPA properties can be used to configure HotCache behavior. For more information, see "Configuring HotCache JPA Properties" in Integrating Oracle Coherence.
Warming Caches – HotCache can be used to warm caches by loading an initial dataset. For more information, see "Warming Caches with HotCache" in Integrating Oracle Coherence.
Support for Oracle SDO_GEOMETRY and XMLType types – Oracle-specific data types that are supported by EclipseLink can be used by HotCache. For more information, see "Support for Oracle Data Types" in Integrating Oracle Coherence.
New and Improved for 12.2.1.1.0
Dynamic Active Persistence Quorum Policy – The dynamic recovery quorum policy is used with active persistence and automatically configures the persistence recovery quorum based on a predefined algorithm. For more information, see "Using the Dynamic Recovery Quorum Policy" in Administering Oracle Coherence.
Simplified Federation Participant Configuration – An address port is no longer required when configuring Federation participants. For more information, see "Defining Federation Participants" in Administering Oracle Coherence.
Federation Support for Read-Through Caching – Cache entries that are loaded into a cache using a CacheStore implementation can now be federated across clusters. For more information, see "Plugging in a Cache Store Implementation" in Developing Applications with Oracle Coherence.
Updated Federation Management – The DestinationMBean MBean now includes management information for replicateAll operations. For more information, see "DestinationMBean" in Managing Oracle Coherence.
Federating HTTP Sessions – HTTP Session caches can now be federated. For more information, see "Federated Session Caches" in Administering HTTP Session Management with Oracle Coherence*Web.
Disabling Federation – Federated caching can be disabled for specific caches. For more information, see "Excluding Caches from Being Federated" in Administering Oracle Coherence.
Coherence Session API – The Coherence Session API provides applications with a new way to get a reference to a NamedCache instance. For more information, see "Getting a Cache Instance" in Developing Applications with Oracle Coherence.
HTTP Acceptor Management – Management information is now provided for proxy servers and includes the number of connections across each proxy server and the total messages that were sent and received. Management attributes are included on the ConnectionManagerMBean MBean and are viewable on the Proxy HTTP Report and the HTTP Servers tab in the Coherence-JVisualVM Plug-in. For more information, see "Understanding the Proxy HTTP Report" in Managing Oracle Coherence.
Two Member Partition Assignment – The default partition assignment strategy now uses an active-passive distribution algorithm for clusters with only two storage-enabled members. The algorithm provides optimal distribution for SEOne use cases. For more information, see "Changing the Partition Distribution Strategy" in Developing Applications with Oracle Coherence.
Simplified Persistence and Federation in WebLogic Server – Persistence and federation can now be configured in the WebLogic Server Administration Console or using WebLogic Server MBeans. For more information, see "Configuring Cache Persistence" and "Configuring Cache Federation", respectively in Administering Clusters for Oracle WebLogic Server.
Zero Down-Time Support – Coherence Applications that are deployed in WebLogic Server can now participate in zero down-time patching. For more information, see the options argument in "Using WLST to Initiate and Monitor Workflows" in Administering Zero Downtime Patching Workflows.
IBM WebSphere Liberty Support – Coherence*Web supports IBM WebSphere Liberty 8.5 and higher. Support for all other IBM WebSphere versions has been removed. For more information, see "Supported Web Containers" in Administering HTTP Session Management with Oracle Coherence*Web.
New and Improved for 12.2.1.0.0
Persistence – Coherence persistence is a set of tools and technologies that manage the persistence and recovery of Coherence distributed caches. Cached data is persisted so that it can be quickly recovered after a catastrophic failure or after a cluster restart due to planned maintenance. For more information, see "Persisting Caches" in Administering Oracle Coherence.
Federated Caching – Federated caching replicates and synchronizes cache data across multiple geographically dispersed clusters. Cached data is replicated across clusters to provide redundancy, off-site backup, and multiple points of access for application users in different geographical locations. For more information, see "Replicating Caches Across Clusters" in Administering Oracle Coherence.
Security Enhancements – Coherence includes new security functionality. The functionality includes:
Audit logs – Audit logs are used to record user access to cluster operations. For more information, see "Enable Security Audit Logs" in Securing Oracle Coherence.
Access control authorization – Access control authorization allows applications to define their own authorization logic to limit access to cluster operations. For more information, see "Authorizing Access to Server-Side Operations" in Securing Oracle Coherence.
Additional JAAS permissions – JAAS permissions protect various parts of the Coherence API using the Java Security Manager. For more information, see "Programmatically Specifying Local Permissions" in Securing Oracle Coherence.
SSL Protocols and Cipher Suites – An SSL socket provider can be configured to control the use of potentially weak ciphers or specific protocol versions. For more information, see "Controlling Cipher Suites and Protocol Version Usage" in Securing Oracle Coherence.
Support for Java 8 Features – The Coherence API has been updated so that you can use programming features that were introduced in the Java 8 release. The features include lambda, streams, and default methods. These features provide ease of use and flexibility when performing data grid operations. For more information, see "Support for Java 8 Features" in Developing Applications with Oracle Coherence.
Support for Generics – Java Generics provide compile and runtime type checking together with compile type-inference. The Coherence API has been refactored to support Java Generics. In addition, types can be explicitly configured as part of the NamedCache API. For more information, see "Support for Generics" in Developing Applications with Oracle Coherence.
Cluster Port and Address Management – Port and address selection has been changed to simplify cluster management and to allow the sharing of cluster ports and addresses among multiple clusters. For most use cases, ports and addresses do not need to be explicitly set.
Coherence port selection has been simplified to facilitate port management. Coherence now includes a common cluster port that is used for multicast communication, well known addresses, and extend proxies that are using the name service. In addition, unicast ports are automatically assigned. For more information, see "Setting Up a Cluster" in Developing Applications with Oracle Coherence and "Configuring Extend Proxies" in Developing Remote Clients for Oracle Coherence.
Coherence address selection has been simplified to facilitate address management. For unicast communication, Coherence automatically selects a routable IP with the highest MTU for computers that have multiple IPs or NICs. For well known addresses, Coherence selects the IP which is routable to the IPs on the WKA list. In addition, Coherence can now automatically resolve IP addresses (at runtime) that are associated with a DNS name. Well known addresses and proxy addresses can be stored in a DNS server and centrally managed and updated in real time. For more information, see "Setting Up a Cluster" in Developing Applications with Oracle Coherence.
Multitenancy – Coherence applications that are deployed using managed Coherence servers can take full advantage of the density and operational efficiencies that are provided by Weblogic Server Multitenant. Coherence features include: isolating caches across domain partitions, sharing caches across domain partitions, and tooling support exposed through WLST and Fusion Middleware Control. For more information, see "Configuring Coherence" in Using WebLogic Server MT.
Asynchronous NamedCache API – The AsyncNameCache interface allows cache operations to be completed in parallel and can improve throughput and result in more responsive user interfaces. For more information, see "Performing NameCache Operations Asynchronously" in Developing Applications with Oracle Coherence.
Truncate Operation – The truncate method on the NamedCache interface clears a cache but does not raise any entry-level cache events. This new API significantly reduces the memory pressure on the server side and dramatically reduces the network consumption for caches with listeners and is especially beneficial for near caching.
Sliding Expiry – Sliding expiry extends the expiry of cache entries that are being accessed. Sliding expiry is enabled by default for cache entries that are updated, but can also be enabled based on read operations and operations that are non-mutative. For more information, see "Capacity Planning" in Developing Applications with Oracle Coherence.
Dynamic Management Mode – Dynamic management elects one of the nodes in the cluster to be the management node. This is the default management mode for managed Coherence servers. Cluster members no longer need to be explicitly configured for JMX management. For more information, see "Using Dynamic Management Mode" in Managing Oracle Coherence.
Dynamic Thread Pools – All Coherence services use dynamically sized daemon thread pools. Dynamic thread pools are enabled by default and are configured for a service using the <thread-count-max> and <thread-count-min> elements when defining a cache scheme.
Coherence-JVisualVM Plug-In – A new version of the Coherence-JVisualVM plug-in is available and includes new functionality. The functionality includes: reporting node state, displaying near cache statistics, displaying partition statistics, managing cache persistence, and managing federated caching. For more information, see "Using the Coherence-JVisualVM Plug-In" in Managing Oracle Coherence.
Coherence CohQL – New functionality is included in Coherence CohQL. The functionality includes: support for loading GAR modules, support for WLS Multitenant, and support for cache persistence. For more information, see, "Using Coherence Query Language" in Developing Applications with Oracle Coherence.
Server-Sent Events – Server-sent events allow Coherence REST applications to automatically receive cache events from the Coherence cluster. For more information, see "Using Server-Sent Events" in Developing Remote Clients for Oracle Coherence.
New features, improvements, and bug fixes added to Oracle Coherence for Java components.
Enhancements and Fixes for 12.2.1.2.0
Added the setLocalOnly and isLocalOnly methods to the ChangeRecord interface to specify that a ChangeRecord object must not be federated.
Added a ParticipantType attribute to the DestinationMBean and TopologyMBean MBeans.
Added a listNonFederatedCaches operation to the FederationManagerMBean MBean that gets a list of the caches that belong to a Federated Cache service but are not being federated.
Added a Member attribute to the DestinationMBean and OriginMBean MBeans.
Added two new start operations to the FederationManagerMBean MBean: startWithNoBacklog, which clears the backlog before the start operation; and startWithSync, which performs a ReplicateAll operation to the destination after the start operation.
Fixed a HotCache limitation where cache writes were always synthetic and prevented the federation of HotCache-refreshed caches. The use of synthetic cache writes can now be configured on a JPA entity class basis.
Fixed an issue with HotCache where UPDATE operations performed on a primary key in the database were not reflected in a Coherence cache. When a database UPDATE operation involved other updates in addition to the primary key, then HotCache would only merge the non-primary key updates to the existing cache-entry and skip the updates to primary keys. This caused the cache to have incorrect data as compared to the database. The keys in the cache were old and obsolete as compared to the database primary keys.
Fixed an issue with HotCache where a change to the primary key in a database row did not cause a cache refresh.
Fixed an issue where a LicenseException exception was being thrown incorrectly when registering an *Extend MapListener implementation.
Fixed an issue where a REST XML query for cache keys resulted in a collection of keys without a delimeter.
Fixed an issue where a Coherence Partitioned Cache service process is terminated due to an unhandled exception when using more than one ContinuousQueryCache instance on the same cache.
Fixed an issue where a license exception was being thrown in thread main due to licensing checks.
Fixed an issue where releasing or destroying a cache with listeners that use an InKeySetFilter filter can result in an error.
Fixed an issue where query related requests can yield incorrect result during a rolling restart.
Fixed an issue with transactional concurrency.
Fixed an issue resulting in the failure to remove a persistent snapshot.
Fixed the isDestroyed and isReleased methods for a remote near cache and local cache.

Fixed an issue where a deadlock may occur in an *Extend client when the connection to the proxy server is closed.
Fixed an issue where entries that are enlisted by a MapTrigger implementation are not federated.
Fixed the BufferManager API to avoid excessive native memory allocation.
Fixed an issue that resulted in the false death detection of Coherence cluster members due to short network outages when using Windows TCP.
Fixed an issue in CohQL where detailed error messages were being suppressed when persistence commands failed.
Fixed a failure in the DaemonPool implementation that was triggered when the number of executed tasks exceeded 2,147,483,647.
Fixed an issue where a partition distribution could get stuck due to an ownership conflict error.
Fixed an issue in the Coherence-JVisualVM Plug-in where cache bytes can become negative when a unit-factor is configured within a cache configuration file.
Fixed an issue where a Partitioned Cache service InvocationContext instance is set to a committed state prematurely when a deadlock occurs during the execution of the invokeAll method.
Fixed an issue that can result in duplicate keys in an index map.

Added federated cache replication support for entries loaded by read-through caching when the backing map is backed by a CacheStore implementation.
Added FederatedPartitionEvent SYNCING and SYNCED events which can be used to track federated caching ReplicateAll operations.
Added the ability to allow interceptors to receive events from entries that are loaded by read-through from get and getAll operations.
Updated the minimum required JDK version for JVisualVM Plugin to JDK 7 Update 79 or JDK 8 Update 40.
Updated the Coherence JVisualVM Plugin to use coherence. prefix instead of com.oracle.coherence. prefix for system properties.

Fixed an issue with ContinuousQueryCache.release which may not unregister from the service and thus can not be reclaimed by the garbage collector.
Fixed an issue with binary keys being decorated twice in rare scenarios.
Fixed an issue where the Coherence JVisualVM Plugin is not using the Java logger correctly.
Fixed an issue where ensureCache unnecessarily performs access.
Fixed an issue where a connection hangs during SSL handshake by including the handshake within any configured connect timeout.
Fixed an issue where an IndexOutOfBoundsException exception was being thrown on ChainedRequest modification.
Fixed an issue where configured interceptors are not registered if the associated service scheme is referenced by a near cache.
Fixed an issue where the page-duration element was not being recognized in a paged-external-scheme element definition.
Fixed an issue that caused a hang during configuration processing due to a recursive macro value in a system property (that is, -Dtangosol.pof.enabled=$ Unknown macro: {tangosol.pof.enabled} ) where OS system property was not set.
Fixed an issue with resolving Coherence configuration element names against system properties (that is, system property autostart will not override Coherence configuration element autostart).
Fixed an issue where cache operations which do not change an Entry's value, such as cache store write-behind, could result in an UnsolicitedCommitEvent event.
Fixed AsyncNamedCache operations to return empty collection instead of null.
Fixed an issue where asynchronous ownership is requested by WLS SPI code for coherence web.
Fixed an issue where the partitioned cache configuration and statistics MBeans for a cache are unregistered when the cache is closed. These are now unregistered when the cache is destroyed.

Enhanced CohQL so that it is possible to provide a custom value extractor (for example POFExtractors) to be used in CohQL queries.
Added the truncate method to the NamedCache interface that is functionally equivalent to clear but doesn't raise any entry-level cache events. This new API significantly reduces the memory pressure on the server side and dramatically reduces the network consumption for caches with listeners and is especially beneficial for near caching.
Added support for sliding expiry. The expiry of cache entries are extended upon read access.
Cache entries are proactively evicted from a backing map after the cache expiry time is reached and no longer require a cache operation to initiate the eviction.
Fixed inconsistent duplicate event interceptor registration behavior when using name and identifier.
Fixed a problem causing a slow memory leak for map listeners that receive local-only (in-process) events.
Fixed an issue where repeated calls to NamedCache operations (create, write and destroy) cause Storage instance leak.

Fixed an issue where the addIndex method that is run in a non-synchronized thread gave the wrong results for a replicated cache.
Fixed an issue when using the MultiExtractor class as an index that may result in inaccurate indexed data.
Fixed an issue with invoking the GuardSupport.heartbeat method during execution of post commit live events.
Fixed an issue with the use of expiry or eviction together with high load causes an AssertionException exception or deadlock.
Fixed an issue where near cache event interceptors that are defined in a cache configuration file are not registered when using the ExtensibleConfigurableCacheFactory class.
Fixed an issue that caused asynchronous entry processors to be deferred after a service is suspended and resumed.
Fixed an issue with ConfigurableCacheMap methods returning incorrect values when using an ObservableSplittingBackingCache instance.
Fixed an issue with the UpdaterProcessor class that could cause CacheStore, BinaryEntryStore, and Listener instances to miss entry updates.
Fixed an issue where a backing map listener does not process events immediately and can result in a stale backup value to be returned.
Fixed an issue where precommit transaction events (COMMITTING) show entries that have not changed.

Fixed an issue where the ClusterMBean.logClusterState method call is not generating thread dumps if the extendedmbeanname system property is set to true.
Fixed a bug where a value set for the <default-domain-name> element in an operational override configuration file was being ignored.
The default unicast listener address is derived from the Well Known Address (WKA) list when available, selecting a local IP on the same subnet as the WKA addresses.
The WKA lists can be represented using a single hostname where DNS has been configured to return a list of IPs.
Coherence uses port 7574 as the default cluster port for multicast communication as well as for the Name Service. Unicast ports are automatically selected.
Multiple clusters can now share a cluster port and Multicast or WKA address. For most use cases, there is no reason to change the cluster port, or multicast address.
