This latest release mostly consists of stability and transactional correctness fixes, as well as new support for internal profiling of various performance metrics.<\/p>\n<p>Major highlights of this release:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Improved speculative execution of single-partition transactions. All transactions can be speculatively executed whenever a multi-partition is blocking waiting to be executed. Use the <a href=\"\/documentation\/configuration\/properties-file\/site#exec_speculative_execution\" class=\"property\">site.exec_speculative_execution<\/a> configuration to enable.

Distributed transactions are executed with the minimum number of partitions. Alternatively, you can use <a href=\"\/documentation\/configuration\/properties-file\/site#exec_force_singlepartitioned\" class=\"property\">site.exec_force_singlepartitioned<\/a> to force all transactions to execute as single-partitioned, and any mistakes are automatically rolled back and restarted as multi-partitioned.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed concurrency\/synchronization issues in ProtoRpcChannel\/Server and VoltProcedureListener for write available callbacks.

Fixed synchronization issues for MarkovPathEstimator and TransactionEstimator (<a href=\"https:\/\/database.cs.brown.edu\/websvn\/revision.php?rev=2198\" class=\"websvn\">r2198<\/a>) <\/li>\n<li>Can now configure output directories for <a href=\"\/documentation\/configuration\/properties-file\/site#log_dir\" class=\"property\">HStoreSite<\/a>, <a href=\"\/documentation\/configuration\/properties-file\/coordinator#log_dir\" class=\"property\">Dtxn.Coordinator<\/a>, and <a href=\"\/documentation\/configuration\/properties-file\/client#log_dir\" class=\"property\">Client<\/a> log files.<\/li>\n<li>All <tt>node.*<\/tt> <a href=\"\/documentation\/configuration\/properties-file\/site\">configuration parameters<\/a> have been renamed to <tt>site.*<\/tt>.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed a race condition when the middle <tt>PlanFragment<\/tt> for three-way joins would not get queued up for all partitions at the same time. This would cause the Dtxn.Coordinator to halt. (<a href=\"https:\/\/database.cs.brown.edu\/websvn\/revision.php?rev=2127\" class=\"websvn\">r2127<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Reduced JUnit test time by allowing each test case in a single JVM invocation to reuse benchmark project jar files.
