By now you’ve probably heard about Pivotal. I’d like to take a moment here to explain what this means for Spring, and to tell you about some of our plans for 2013.
Spring and Open Source at the Pivotal Initiative
In case you missed it, here’s the essential background on Pivotal: Led by Paul Maritz, the initiative unites key people and projects from across EMC and VMware to bring “consumer grade” technology to the enterprise. We see a new generation of applications emerging that are powered by new data fabrics and will interact with and serve customers in the context of who they are, where they are, and what they are doing in the moment. These applications will be built, deployed, and scaled at unprecedented pace. They will store, manage, and deliver value from large data sets, and do all of this on one unified platform underpinned by open source technologies.

… and now we return to our regularly scheduled broadcast.

Our Spring teams are part of the Pivotal and Spring is central to the Pivotal strategy together with Pivotal HD and Cloud Foundry. Spring is a dominant force in the enterprise and we have a really strong roadmap laid out for 2013 including, but by no means limited to, the release of Spring Framework 4. This will be only the third time in our history that we have incremented the major version of Spring and it is not something we do lightly. You have every reason to expect great things of us, and we do not intend to disappoint you!

As part of the Pivotal, Spring will continue to be driven forward by the Spring project leads: Juergen Hoeller, Chris Beams, Mark Fisher, Mark Pollack, and many others whom you’ve all come to know and trust over the years. Their experience, deep technical knowledge and innovative thinking will continue to guide Spring’s development.

Focus areas for Spring in 2013 include facilitating modern application architectures, tackling big data application complexity, and improving the end-to-end Spring developer experience. The Spring Framework 4.0 roadmap will ensure you can fully exploit the latest developments in the Java ecosystem. With Java SE 8 in particular, it’s as if it was made for Spring! Lambda expressions work beautifully with our long-term approach to templates and callback interfaces. For example, here’s how the venerable JDBC template might look with lambdas:

Person person = jdbcTemplate.queryForObject(
“select name, age from person where id = 42”,
(rs, rowNum) -> {
return new Person(
rs.getString(“name”),
rs.getInt(“age”)
);
});

We will also be investigating asynchronous web usage patterns and non-servlet based runtime support. As part of improving the end-to-end developer experience we plan to bring our documentation, samples and website fully up to date to focus on best practices in enterprise application development. Expect to see more task-oriented as opposed to project-oriented materials.

When it comes to tackling big data application complexity we will be building on the great progress Spring has already made in these areas. As Hadoop-based data fabrics continue to emerge in the enterprise we aim to provide a unified, simplified experience for big data application development, including distributed data ingestion and real-time analytics, Hadoop workflow orchestration, and data export from HDFS to relational and non-relational stores. You’ll hear much more from us on this in the months to come — Spring for Apache Hadoop 1.0 is just the beginning. Spring for Apache Hadoop works with all the major Hadoop distributions – Hortonworks, Cloudera, MapR, and our own Pivotal HD Community Edition, and is fully integrated in the commercial Pivotal HD.

Groovy and Grails are part of the extended Spring family. If you like the look of Java SE 8, but fear it may take some time before your organization embraces it as a production runtime then there is good news: the Groovy language already offers modern features such as closures and functional programming styles, together with optional static typing, and all fully supported on JRE 6 and 7! Groovy is increasingly being used by those looking for enhanced productivity, expressive DSL support, and first class integration with the Java language and libraries. These features also make developing asynchronous and parallel applications simpler. Tighter integration with Groovy is on the roadmap for Spring Framework 4, and Groovy provides a compelling complement to Java even if you do have access to SE 8.

Grails 3.0 will separate Grails from the traditional application server and extend Grails’ reach to allow for the development of lightweight, asynchronous applications. Grails’ persistence technology GORM has also been evolving beyond the traditional relational database, with implementations for NoSQL databases now available. GORM will continue to be an important technology for us as enterprise data fabrics evolve.

Cloud Foundry, the open platform-as-a-service project, is also part of the Pivotal Initiative. We’ll be making sure that there is first class support for Spring and Grails apps in Cloud Foundry – both in the public cloud and inside the enterprise. For more details on Cloud Foundry as part of the Pivotal Initiative please check out the Cloud Foundry Blog. RabbitMQ, Redis, and our contributors to Apache Tomcat are all coming along for the ride too!
Don’t miss SpringOne 2GX this year

The best place to get all of the in-depth information, meet with the project leads, and be part of the Spring story is at our SpringOne 2GX 2013 conference Sept 9-13 in Santa Clara, CA. There is so much we want to share with you that we’ve already started planning the keynotes to figure out how best to fit it all in. That’s a lot more prepared than we were heading into the first ever SpringOne (then called The Spring Experience) in 2005, I can assure you!

现在你可能已经听说了Pivotal。我想在这里花点时间解释一下这对春天意味着什么，并告诉你我们2013年的一些计划。
如果您错过了，这里是Pivotal的基本背景：由Paul Maritz领导，该计划将来自EMC和VMware的关键人员和项目联合起来，为企业带来“消费者级”技术。我们看到新一代的应用程序正在出现，这些应用程序由新的数据结构提供支持，并将在客户身份、位置和当前所做工作的背景下与客户进行交互和服务。这些应用程序将以前所未有的速度构建、部署和扩展。他们将存储、管理和交付来自大型数据集的价值，并在一个由开源技术支撑的统一平台上完成所有这些。
……现在我们回到我们的定期广播。
我们的Spring团队是Pivotal的一部分，Spring与Pivotal HD和Cloud Foundry一起是Pivotal战略的核心。Spring是企业中的主导力量，我们为2013年制定了一个非常强大的路线图，包括但不限于Spring Framework 4的发布。这将是我们历史上第三次增加了主要版本的Spring，这不是我们轻率的做法。你完全有理由期待我们的伟大成就，我们不打算让你失望！
作为关键的一部分，Spring将继续由Spring项目的领导推动：Juergen Hoeller、Chris Beams、Mark Fisher、Mark Pollack，以及许多其他你们多年来认识和信任的人。他们的经验、深厚的技术知识和创新思维将继续指导春天的发展。
2013年Spring的重点领域包括促进现代应用程序体系结构、解决大数据应用程序复杂性以及改善端到端Spring开发人员体验。SpringFramework4.0路线图将确保您能够充分利用Java生态系统中的最新开发。特别是JavaSE8，它就好像是为Spring设计的！Lambda表达式与我们对模板和回调接口的长期方法配合得非常好。例如，下面是受人尊敬的JDBC模板在lambdas中的外观：
Person Person=jdbcTemplate.queryForObject(
“从id=42的人中选择姓名、年龄”，
（rs，rowNum）->{
换人(
rs.getString（“名称”），
rs.getInt（“年龄”）
);
});
我们还将研究异步web使用模式和非基于servlet的运行时支持。作为改善端到端开发人员体验的一部分，我们计划使我们的文档、示例和网站完全更新，以关注企业应用程序开发中的最佳实践。希望看到更多面向任务的材料，而不是面向项目的材料。
在处理大数据应用程序复杂性方面，我们将在Spring在这些领域已经取得的巨大进展的基础上继续努力。随着基于Hadoop的数据结构不断出现在企业中，我们的目标是为大数据应用程序开发提供统一、简化的体验，包括分布式数据接收和实时分析、Hadoop工作流编排以及从HDFS到关系和非关系存储的数据导出。在接下来的几个月里，您将从我们这里听到更多关于这方面的信息—ApacheHadoop1.0的Spring仅仅是一个开始。Spring for Apache Hadoop与所有主要的Hadoop发行版（Hortonworks、Cloudera、MapR和我们自己的Pivotal HD社区版）一起工作，并完全集成在商业Pivotal HD中。
