2.7.0

Requirements: Java 8+ required

Please check here for notes and possible compatibility issues for upgrading from 2.6.x or lower to 2.7.0.

New Features

  • Enhancement of service governance rules.

    • Enriched Routing Rules.
      1. Conditional Routing. Supports both application-level and service-level conditions.
      2. Tag Routing. Newly introduced to better support traffic isolation, such as grey deployment.
    • Decoupling governance rules with the registry, making it easier to extend. Apollo and Zookeeper are available in this version. Nacos support is on the way...
    • Application-level Dynamic Configuration support.
    • Use YAML as the configuration language, which is more friendly to read and use.

  • Externalized Configuration. Supports reading dubbo.properties hosted in remote centralized configuration center - centralized configuration.

  • Simplified registry URL. With lower Registry memory use and less notification pressure from Service Directory, separates Configuration notification from Service Discovery.

  • Metadata Center. A totally new concept since 2.7.0, used to store service metadata including static configuration, service definition, method signature, etc.. By default, Zookeeper and Redis are supported as the backend storage. Will work as the basis of service testing, mock and other service governance features going to be supported in Dubbo-Admin.

  • Asynchronous Programming Model (only works for Dubbo protocol now)

    • Built-in support for the method with CompletableFuture signature.
    • Server-side asynchronous support, with an AsyncContext API works like Servlet 3.0.
    • Asynchronous filter chain callback.

  • Serialization Extension: Protobuf.

  • Caching Policy Extension: Expiring Cache.

Enhancements / Bugfixes

  • Load Balancing strategy enhancement: ConsitentHash #2190, LeastActive #2171, Random #2597, RoundRobin #2650.

  • Third-party dependency upgrading.

    • Switch default remoting to Netty 4.
    • Switch default Zookeeper client to Curator.
    • Upgrade Jetty to 9.x.

  • IPV6 support #2079.

  • Performance tuning, check hanging requests on a closed channel, make them return directly #2185.

  • Fixed the serialization problem of JDK primitive types in Kryo #2178.

  • Fixed the problem of failing to notify Consumer as early as possible after the Provider side deserialization failed #1903.

Upgrading and Compatibility Notifications

We have always keep compatibility in mind during the whole process of 2.7.0. We even want old users to upgrade with only on pom version upgrade, but it's hard to achieve that, especially when considering that we have the package renamed in this version, so we had some tradeoffs. If you only used the Dubbo's most basic features, you may have little problems of upgrading, but if you have used some advanced features or have some SPI extensions inside, you'd better read the upgrade notifications carefully. The compatibility issues can be classified into the following 5 categories, for each part, there will have detailed dos and don'ts published later in the official website.

  1. Interoperability between 2.7.0 and lower versions

  2. Package renaming

    com.alibaba.dubbo -> org.apache.dubbo

  3. Simplification of registered URLs

  4. Service Governance Rules

  5. Configuration
