2.2.1

Changes

• Updated to C client version 4.1.8
• Allowed setting of the max_socket_idle for all connections instead of only being configurable for TLS connections. Parameter has been moved from the tls config dictionary to the main config dictionary. Although the previous syntax will not raise an exception, it will not set the value.

# Version 2.2.1:
config = {
    'hosts': hostlist,
    'max_socket_idle': 55
}
client = aerospike.client(config)

# Previous versions
config = {
    'hosts': hostlist,
    'tls': {'max_socket_idle': 55}
}
client = aerospike.client(config)

• Improved the distribution of the client. Support files will be stored in the same location regardless of whether a binary or source wheel was the source.

• Changed installation of system Lua files:

The default location of the Lua files needed for stream UDF aggregation was moved from: /usr/local/aerospike/lua to the directory aerospike/lua inside of the Python installation directory for storing system dependent packages. This directory can be found by running: Python -c "import sys; print(sys.exec_prefix);" Or if the extension was installed via pip: pip show -f aerospike

By default the client will look for the system .lua files in /usr/local/aerospike/lua
we recommend either moving the files from aerospike/lua to that directory or specifying the path to those files in the client constructor.

If you did not specify an installation location, and Python -c "import sys; print(sys.exec_prefix);" returned /home/user/.virtualenvs/aerospike-py
This means that the system lua files are located in: /home/user/.virtualenvs/aerospike-py/aerospike/lua/ and that is the directory which should be specified in the constructor.

So if installing the Python client for Aerospike stored the data files in /home/user/.virtualenvs/aerospike-py/aerospike/lua

lua_config = {"system_path": "/path/to/lua_dir", "user_path": "/path/to/usr-lua-dir"}
