| |
| The Apache Helix team would like to announce the release of Apache Helix 0.6.3. |
| |
| This is the fifth release under the Apache umbrella, and the first as a top-level project. |

| Helix is a generic cluster management framework used for the automatic management of partitioned, replicated and distributed resources hosted on a cluster of nodes. Helix provides the following features: |
| |
| * Automatic assignment of resource/partition to nodes |
| |
| * Node failure detection and recovery |
| |
| * Dynamic addition of Resources |
| |
| * Dynamic addition of nodes to the cluster |
| |
| * Pluggable distributed state machine to manage the state of a resource via state transitions |
| |
| * Automatic load balancing and throttling of transitions |
| |
