June 2021 Release Announcement

Highlights

Scala upgrade for the HERE Data SDK for Java & Scala, pipeline environments and schemas

With the release of version 2.28 of the HERE Data SDK for Java & Scala, the HERE platform introduces an upgrade to the Scala version from 2.11 to 2.12. This will enable you to upgrade your software stack to newer versions that require Scala 2.12.

Two new pipeline environments supporting Scala 2.12 have also been added including minor version upgrades for Apache Flink and Spark:

• stream-4.0 for stream environment with Flink 1.10.3
• batch-3.0 for batch environment with Spark 2.4.7

All the schemas supported by HERE have been updated correspondingly to support Scala 2.12:

• HERE Map Content Schema
• SDII Schema
• Sensoris Schema
• Real-Time Traffic Schema
• Weather Schema
• Optimized Map for Location Library Schema

Note that with this platform release, the SDK's support for Scala 2.11 as well as the former environments (see below) are deprecated. Support will be removed after 6 months.

• Deprecated: stream-3.0.0 for stream environment with Flink 1.10.1
• Deprecated: batch-2.1.0 for batch environment with Spark 2.4.2

Please use the latest SDK to migrate your applications to Scala 2.12. Schema developers may learn how to create Scala 2.12 bindings in our migration guide.
