Announcing: Kite SDK 0.15.0

[#1]

Version 0.15.0 contains the following notable changes:

• Kite artifacts are built against Apache Hadoop 2 and related projects, and are now available in Maven Central.
• Added new introduction and concepts documentation.
• Added a new Datasets convenience class for opening and working with Datasets, superseding DatasetRepositories.
• Deprecated partition related methods in Dataset in favor of the views API.
• Added a CLI copy task for copying datasets and also for dataset format conversion and data compaction.
• Added an application parent POM that makes it easy to use Kite in a Maven project. The examples now use this parent POM.
• Updated to Crunch 0.10.0
• Morphlines Library
  • Added morphline command that parses an InputStream that contains protobuf data: readProtobuf (Rober Fiser via whoschek)
  • Added morphline command that extracts specific values from a protobuf object, akin to a simple form of XPath: extractProtobufPaths (Rober Fiser via whoschek)
  • Added morphline command that removes all record fields for which the field name matches a blacklist but not a whitelist: removeFields
  • Added optional parameters maxCharactersPerRecord and onMaxCharactersPerRecord to morphline command readCSV
  • Upgraded kite-morphlines-maxmind module from maxmind-db-0.3.1 to bug fix release maxmind-db-0.3.3
