[geomesa-users] GeoMesa 1.2.1 release

[Jim Hughes <jnh5y@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce the GeoMesa 1.2.1 release.  Artifacts are 
available from LocationTech's Nexus repo.  The changelog is here: 
https://geomesa.atlassian.net/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10000&version=11900. 
The documentation at http://www.geomesa.org/documentation/ has been updated.

Of note, among the bug fixes (like improving support for non-point 
geometries in heatmap generation and fixing DWITHIN again), there are 
few new features worth calling out:

Accumulo:
GEOMESA-1107 Adds support for S3A ingest (to the existing S3 support).
GEOMESA-960/1011 allows for pushing statistics calculations down to the 
tablet servers.  In particular, there's now a little DSL for generating 
multiple histograms with one WPS call.

Kafka:
GEOMESA-1110 Implements the GeoTools Feature Event Listener API for the 
Kafka Data Store.  Tutorial/example code is available (1).
GEOMESA-1130 Allows a consumer to specify a filter to limit features 
added to the in-memory map.

For Kafka, a new load tester example is here (2).

Cheers,

Jim
