This major release contains a number of new features, improvements and bug fixes:

New Features

  • [AER-4424] - Geospatial Indexes (Experimental Release). For more information, click here.
  • [AER-4544] - Operations on list. For more information, click here.
  • [AER-4568] - (KVS) Add stop-writes threshold on a per set basis.

Improvements

  • [AER-4512], [AER-4563], [AER-4570] - Migration improvements - Fix condition where redundant/incorrect migration requests are initiated. Remove incorrect migration state (pending-write) which causes “pending writes never drain” assertion or incorrect object counts.

  • [AER-4449] - (KVS) Allow unread data in socket after a complete transaction is read.
  • [AER-4508] - (Scan) Enhance scan’s migration detection.
  • [AER-4450] - (UDF) as_val re-org for UDF.
  • [AER-4493] - (UDF) Aggregation code refactoring.
  • [AER-4318] - (SINDEX) Use master nodes instead of qnodes for queries.
  • [AER-4500] - (Clustering) New cluster recovery policy paxos-recovery-policy=auto-reset-master.

Bug Fixes

  • [AER-4553] - (KVS) Server crash when printing strings containing %s.
  • [AER-4612] - (UDF) Check for > 512 bins is missing when data-in-memory.
  • [AER-4112] - (Migration) Correct erroneous warning “source node [node_id] not found in migration rx state”.
  • [AER-4494] - (SINDEX) Memory corruption of stack variable causing undetermined result for list/map indexing.
  • [AER-4103] - (SINDEX) Server is crashing while creating index with index name more than 256 size.
  • [AER-3601] - (Packaging) “python” dependency for tools package is too strict and will not install if “python 2.7” installed.

From @Alvin_Richards’ blog post, it seems there is support for points within a region/radius. What about points OUTSIDE a region/radius ? Would I be able to make such a query ?

Here is an equivalent in MongoDB where I can do both minDistance and maxDistance filters.

Can you share what the use case you have in mind? Thanks.

Searching for people who are atleast X distance away from a user.

So 3.7.0 supports Polygons with holes (i.e. donut shapes), which would give you the ability you describe. I would agree this is not the simplest way to express your query! Given the under lying mechanisms, this is either just an API over the basic operations we have or an extension to AeroCircle to support holes.
