Boosting Jira Cloud app development with Apache Ignite

July 16, 2020

Peter Gagarinov

Suppose you need to implement a Jira Cloud app with a backend written in Java that should be capable of executing both long-running calculation-heavy issue processing jobs and lightweight requests from different Jira users in parallel. And suppose that this backend needs a data persistence layer with the following properties:

  • integrates with Java natively
  • highly available and horizontally scalable
  • fault-tolerant and distributed
  • supports distributed ACID transactions
  • provides data persistence on disk
  • supports SQL for distributed data
  • supports in-memory data storage
  • can be used for caching, preferably via JCache API
  • supports user-defined distributed jobs
  • provides automatic failover both for connections to database and for distributed jobs
  • provides Transparent Data Encryption for safety reasons
  • supports native configurations for deployment in Kubernetes
  • free and open-source
  • has an optional paid technical support

Sure enough you came across some of these requirements in your projects but what if you need to fulfill all of them at the same time? Read our new article Boosting Jira Cloud app development with Apache Ignite to find out the answer!

The new release in action:

Improvements:

  • Added full support for predicting Assignee, Components, Affects versions and Fix versions fields.

  • Refined appearance of the AIssistant conflict warnings and related UI controls.
  • Refined AIssistant training and prediction job status names and transitions.
  • Popup messages automatically disappear after a 5-second timeout.
  • "Busy: Predicting" and "Busy: Training" AIssistant statuses displayed in a different color when training or prediction is in progress.
  • Improved stability for various edge cases.

Bugfixes:

  • Wrong Last action time value displayed on AIssistant Dashboard
  • Prediction summary for previous runs is shown even after changing the list of AIssistant feature and predicted fields and agreeing to loosing all the training history.
  • Prediction scope filter is displayed on AIssistant prediction dialog without intersection with the AIssistant global scope filter.
  • AIssistant status remains “Training Required” even if the last completed action is “TRAINING: SUCCESS”.
  • Dialogs and flags may appear in other browser tabs for the same user.
  • Network connectivity problems can cause a large number of error popup messages to appear.
  • "Retrain your AIssistant" message appears even when a user just changes the AIssistant name.
  • AIssistant creation wizard may create two identical AIssistants if a user passes through UI very quickly.
  • AIsisstant training may fail for a large number of issues or when a number of issues is moderate but the number of unique field values is large.
