Chronon 3 beta Update 1

Posted by Prashant Deva on April 24, 2012

We have just released the first update to the Chronon 3 beta.

Recorder Binary version number: 3.138 

This update contains:

1. Fix for linux users who were crashing with the following error msg

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9′ not found 

You shouldn’t be seeing this anymore.

2. New much faster, ‘low’ compression option!

In the Recorder Configuration file, you can add a property to use the new, much faster compression algorithm:

compression = low

More specifically, previously we used Deflate for compression, but using compression=low in the config file will use Snappy which is an order of magnitude faster albeit with a lower compression ratio.

Note that this configuration option in the configuration text file is only temporary during the beta. Once Chronon 3 is released, you will be able to control this setting through the Recording Server UI.

Also some clarifications…

Apparently some of the earlier mails sent out said that ‘Chronon Recording Server 3‘ is available for download. That is incorrect.

The Recording Server is still at version 2 and its binaries haven’t changed. Chronon 3 currently just consists of the recorder binaries and you just need to copy/paste them in your existing Recording Server (v 2) installation to use them.

Our apologies for the faulty mail.
