[Aerospike Connect for Spark version 3.1.1](https://download.aerospike.com/enterprise/download/connectors/aerospike-spark/notes.html#3.1.1)was released on December 21, 2021. - Supported until March 20, 2023. - Tested with Apache Spark 3.0.3, Scala 2.12.11 & Python 3.7. - Minimum supported Aerospike Server version 5.0. #### Improvements - This library is an uber shaded jar. - Update Client version to 5.1.11. - Migrated to Expressions for scans. - Pushdown support for Float & Double datatypes. #### Bug Fixes - [CONNECTOR-312] - Update spark connectors with latest java clients to address CLIENT-1637 (“partition unavailable” errors occur). #### Known Issues - This connector release shades all internal libraries. Please update application build files accordingly. - Spark connector stores spark DateType and TimestampType as long. In Aerojoin API calls convert aforementioned types to Longtype. - DataSource v2 API does not support the SQL statement `INSERT INTO` a temp view. Use DataFrame syntax for equivalent functionality. #### Updates - The default value of flag [`aerospike.partition.factor`](https://docs.aerospike.com/docs/connect/processing/spark/configuration.html#properties-related-to-performance) have changed from 12 to 8. Please update your application accordingly.
