2016 01 Release Notes

##Model Catalog Model Catalog is a service for exposing data models on the platform in a nice and easy to access way. The service provides basic information about analytics tool’s instances like: guid, hostname, credentials and lists data models per each instance. Currently, only H2O instances are supported. The next step is to extend this service also for TAP Analytics Toolkit instances. (https://github.com/trustedanalytics/model-catalog)

##Downloader behind proxy (Open Stack) A solution that supports installation of TAP Platform inside protected environments. There is an environment variable added for the downloader service that enables/disables http proxy usage to control download of files from outside of the protected network. (https://github.com/trustedanalytics/downloader)

##RStudio, Arcadia, Hue open in a separate browser tabs Adjustment for the better flow in the TAP Console usage. All of the tools instances in the Data Science section as well as the apps on the list in Applications section and views of datasets in Data Catalog section open now in the new tab of the browser.

##Hue available from outside CF network Hue is now deployed like any other platform applications. There is no need for manual adjustment to have Hue accessible for datasets in Data Catalog section.

##Service keys management capability in TAP Console Now there is a possibility to generate or destroy credentials for different service instances from the console (as defined in Cloud Foundry documentation: https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/services/service-keys.html). This feature is accessible in TAP Console in Services > Instances view.

##Improvements in Application Broker Application Broker can be used to easily create service offerings without implementing separate broker. The only thing that needs to be done is to prepare reference application and register it in the broker. Next step is to spawn copies of the reference app and treat them like service instances. Offerings will be also visible within CF marketplace. (https://github.com/trustedanalytics/application-broker)

Application broker changed the way it generates names of the spawned applications in such a way that they will no more make collision with already existing instances. From now on there can be multiple namesake instances of a service handled by the application-broker (in different spaces).

##Gearpump on TAP GearPump is a real-time big data streaming engine. TAP supports 0.7.4 GearPump version. GearPump broker enables users to create GearPump cluster with a matter of a single mouse click in TAP Marketplace. Dedicated UI application is created on Cloud Foundry and Gearpump’s master and workers are deployed to YARN. Please, visit http://www.gearpump.io to check out Gearpump’s features.

##Change of the default OAuth client for TAP apps This change breaks compatibility with previous version of TAP and your application might require an update. The default OAuth client used by some of our apps (console, user-management) was changed from developer_console to tap_console. This was done because “developer_console” was a special user in UAA and its permissions kept resetting after UAA restarts. After those restarts, which are a common thing during maintenance, the users would be unable to log in unless the “developer_console” permissions wouldn’t put back by hand.
