Minor Features and Improvements

Minor features and improvements release.

• New Features

  • Support Metadata in struct tags to fetch TTL and Generation via GetObject.
    Notice: Metadata attributes in an struct are considered transient, and won't be persisted.

  Example:

  type SomeStruct struct {
    TTL  uint32         `asm:"ttl"` // record time-to-live in seconds
    Gen  uint32         `asm:"gen"` // record generation
    A    int
    Self *SomeStruct
  }
  
  key, _ := as.NewKey("ns", "set", value)
  err := client.PutObject(nil, key, obj)
  // handle error here
  
  rObj := &OtherStruct{}
  err = client.GetObject(nil, key, rObj)

  • GeoJSON support in Lists and Maps

• Improvements

  • Use ClientPolicy.timeout for connection timeout when refreshing nodes
  • Added new server error codes
  • Protect RNG pool against low-precision clocks during init
  • Better error message distingushing between timeout because of reaching deadline and exceeding maximum retries

• Fixes

  • Fixed object mapping cache for anonymous structs. PR #115, thanks to Moshe Revah
  • Fixed an issue where Execute() method wasn't observing the SendKey flag in Policy.
