WILMINGTON, DE — The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has announced the release of Apache Ozone 2.0.0, a major upgrade to its cloud-native distributed object store designed to support big data, analytics, and AI-driven platforms.
“Apache Ozone 2.0.0 represents years of community collaboration and production lessons from large-scale deployments,” said Sammi Chen, Apache Ozone PMC Chair and Principal Engineer at Cloudera. “We’re seeing growing adoption of Ozone in production, and this release brings the stability, performance, and ecosystem integration users have asked for.”
Meeting the Demands of AI and Analytics
With AI and analytics platforms requiring massive, fault-tolerant, and cost-efficient storage solutions, Ozone 2.0.0 delivers significant improvements in scalability and operational efficiency while maintaining high performance and ease of use.
Key Features in Apache Ozone 2.0.0
- Operational Database Support — Becomes the first object store to support Apache HBase, enabling low-latency read/write workloads alongside traditional object storage.
- Atomic Key Operations — Adds atomic key overwrite and replacement to improve data consistency for applications running concurrently.
- Modernized Recon UI — Introduces a redesigned monitoring interface with improved metrics and streamlined navigation for administrators.
- Expanded Platform Support — Now compatible with JDK 17 and JDK 21 and includes native builds for ARM64, enhancing deployment flexibility.
- Improved Snapshots — Offers more efficient and resilient snapshot operations, especially for large-scale environments with heavy replication demands.
- Day-2 Operations Enhancements — Adds support for SCM decommissioning, simplifying safe hardware removal and lifecycle management.
Positioned for Next-Generation Workloads
Originally built as an object store for Apache Hadoop, Ozone has evolved into a modern, cloud-native storage platform optimized for AI, data lakehouses, and hybrid cloud environments. This release represents a significant step in meeting the storage needs of data-intensive applications and large-scale enterprise infrastructure.
With Ozone 2.0.0, ASF continues to strengthen its role in driving open-source innovation, offering a robust foundation for organizations managing vast datasets in rapidly evolving technological landscapes.
