[2.7.1] - 2021-08-16

Changed in 2.7.1

• Modified EntityDataServices.java to check for empty networks when getting entities with "FULL" related entities. This guards against a NullPointerException in the event of data corruption. Affected endpoints:

• Updated Senzing REST API Specification version to 2.7.0.
• Modifications to make the BulkDataServicesReadOnlyTest less sensitive to timing issues.
• Refactored model classes, service classes and API server classes to allow for extending and customizing the API Server. NOTE: while these changes will NOT break backwards compatibility for REST API clients, Java projects that extend API Server Java classes (e.g.: customized API servers) will be affected. The semantic versioning for the API Server guarantees that minor releases maintain backwards compatibility for REST API clients. However, these changes are working towards possibly maintaining backwards compatibility for extended Java code in minor releases in a future major release.

[2.6.2] - 2021-07-15

• Added lastSeenTimestamp field to expose LAST_SEEN_DT for SzResolvedEntity and SzEntityRecord.
• Added periodic logging of stats() from the G2Engine API with automatic suppression if the API Server is idle or not performing tasks that involve entity scoring and would therefore not affect the result from stats() call.
• Added -statsInterval option to specify the time interval in milliseconds for stats logging with a 15-minute default and option to suppress if zero (0) is specified.
• Added logging of performance information and database performance at startup
• Added -skipStartupPerf option to prevent startup performance logging
• Modified tests to validate lastSeenTimestamp field.
• Updated test data to include versions 2.0.0 through 2.1.1

[2.0.2] - 2020-08-25

Changed in 2.0.2

• Updated ReplayNativeApiProvider to reduce file size of test data files to reduce memory usage when running auto-builds on github.
• Produced new auto-test mock data files for several versions of native API.

[2.0.1] - 2020-07-23

Changed in 2.0.1

• Upgraded to senzing/senzing-base:1.5.2

[2.0.0] - 2020-07-16

Changed in 2.0.0

• Modified to build with version 2.x of Senzing product include use of new entity formatting flags.

• Updated REST API Version to v2.0.0

• Renamed com.senzing.api.model.SzFeatureInclusion to com.senzing.api.model.SzFeatureMode

• Added com.senzing.api.model.SzRelationshipMode with values of NONE, PARTIAL and FULL.

• Added new model classes to support Senzing REST API 2.0

• Added withInfo and withRaw query parameters to following endpoints:

  • POST /data-sources/{dataSourceCode}/records
  • PUT /data-sources/{dataSourceCode}/records/{recordId}

• Added DELETE /data-sources/{dataSourceCode}/records/{recordId} endpoint including withInfo and withRaw query parameters.

• Added the following endpoints to reevaluate entities or specific records including withInfo and withRaw query parameters:

  • POST /data-sources/{dataSourceCode}/records/{recordId}/entity/reevaluate
  • POST /reevaluate-entities

• In com.senzing.io.RecordReader a null value in the dataSourceMap and entityTypeMap is now used as the general overriding data source or entity type, respectively, while the value mapped to empty-string is used to assign a data source or entity type (respectively) to a record that is missing a value for that field.

• In com.senzing.api.model.SzResolvedEntity the property attributeData was renamed to characteristicData to match the OpenAPI Specification for the Senzing REST API. NOTE: Client code that was written to look for attributeData must be modified or will find a missing property.

• Potentially Backward-Compatibility Breaking Changes by Java class and API Endpoint:

  • com.senzing.api.services.ConfigServices

    • GET /entity-classes

    • GET /entity-classes/{entityClassCode}

    • POST /entity-types

    • POST /entity-classes/{entityClassCode}/entity-types

    • GET /entity-classes/{entityClassCode}/entity-types/{entityTypeCode}

      • Removed support for any entity class other than ACTOR as it was discovered that the underlying product does not properly support entity resolution when using entity classes other than ACTOR and it may not for some time. This will change if and when additional entity classes are supported.
        • MIGRATION: Ensure the value provided for all entity classes are changed to ACTOR.

    • POST /entity-classes

      • Removed this operation as it was discovered that the underlying product does not fully properly support entity resolution when using entity classes other than ACTOR and it may not for some time. This will change if and when additional entity classes are supported.
        • MIGRATION: Remove calls to create new entity classes and instead leverage the default entity class ACTOR.

    • GET /config/current

      • Renamed to GET /configs/active since “current” is ambiguous with regards to the “currently active config” versus the configuration managers currently configured “default config”.
        • MIGRATION: Use the /configs/active path in place of /config/current.

    • GET /config/default

      • Renamed to GET /configs/template since “default” is ambiguous with the configuration managers “default config” setting.
        • MIGRATION: Use the /configs/template path in place of /config/default.

  • com.senzing.api.services.EntityDataServices

    • GET /data-sources/{dataSourceCode}/records/{recordId}

      • The data property of SzRecordResponse was previously of type SzEntityRecord. However, the Open API specification for the Senzing REST API had always documented it as an object with a single property named record whose type was SzEntityRecord (an additional level of indirection). In order to conform with the specification and make it consistent with SzEntityResponse, the server has been modified with class SzRecordResponse now having a data property with a record sub-property.
        • MIGRATION: Change direct references to the data field to instead reference data.record.
      • The SzEntityRecord in the response will exclude fields that are null or empty arrays.
        • MIGRATION: Depending on the client language, check if fields are missing, null or undefined before attempting to use them.

    • GET /entities/{entityId}

    • GET /data-sources/{dataSourceCode}/records/{recordId}/entity

      • The withRelated parameter is no longer a boolean value that accepts true or false. It now accepts an enumerated value of type com.senzing.api.model.SzRelationshipMode with values of NONE, PARTIAL or FULL.
        • MIGRATION: Use ?withRelated=FULL in place of ?withRelated=true and use ?withRelated=PARTIAL in place of ?withRelated=false.
      • The SzResolvedEntity and the contained SzEntityRecord instances in the response will exclude fields that are null or empty arrays.
        • MIGRATION: Depending on the client language, check if fields are missing, null or undefined before attempting to use them.

    • GET /entities

      • Removed the attr_[PROPERTY_NAME] parameters and replaced with the multi-valued attr parameter so that this parameter could better be documented in the Open API Spec and examples provided via Swagger Editor.
        • MIGRATION: Use ?attr=NAME_FIRST:Joe in place of ?attr_NAME_FIRST=Joe or use the attrs parameter with a JSON value.
      • The SzAttributeSearchResult instances and contained SzRelatedEntity and SzEntityRecord instances in the response will exclude fields that are null or empty arrays.
        • MIGRATION: Depending on the client language, check if fields are missing, null or undefined before attempting to use them.
      • The withRelationships query parameter now defaults to false instead of true.
        • MIGRATION: Use ?withRelationships=true if relationships are desired.

    • POST /data-sources/{dataSourceCode}/records/

    • PUT /data-sources/{dataSourceCode}/records/{recordId}

      • Modified to default ENTITY_TYPE to GENERIC if ENTITY_TYPE not found in record.
        • MIGRATION: Specify an entity type if GENERIC is not desired.

  • com.senzing.api.services.EntityGraphServices

    • GET /entity-networks
      • Changed the default value for maxDegrees parameter from 5 to 3
        • MIGRATION: Use ?maxDegrees=5 if the old default is desired.
      • The SzResolvedEntity instances and the contained SzEntityRecord instances in the response will exclude fields that are null or empty arrays.
        • MIGRATION: Depending on the client language, check if fields are missing, null or undefined before attempting to use them.
    • GET /entity-paths
      • The SzResolvedEntity instances and the contained SzEntityRecord instances in the response will exclude fields that are null or empty arrays.
        • MIGRATION: Depending on the client language, check if fields are missing, null or undefined before attempting to use them.

  • com.senzing.api.services.BulkDataServices

    • POST /bulk-data/load
      • Replaced the dataSource_[DATA_SOURCE_CODE] parameters with the multi-valued mapDataSource parameter so that this parameter could better be documented in Open API Spec and examples provided via Swagger Editor.
        • MIGRATION: Use ?mapDataSource=FOO:BAR in place of ?dataSource_FOO=BAR or use the new mapDataSources parameter instead.
      • Replaced the entityType_[ENTITY_TYPE_CODE] parameters with the multi-valued mapEntityType parameter so that this parameter could better be documented in Open API Spec and examples provided via Swagger Editor.
        • MIGRATION: Use ?mapEntityType=FOO:BAR in place of ?entityType_FOO=BAR or use the new mapEntityTypes parameter instead.

• Other Changes by Java class and API Endpoint:

  • com.senzing.api.services.AdminServices

    • GET /license

      • Added the previously undocumented (but always-supported) the “withRaw” parameter.

    • GET /version

      • Added the previously undocumented (but always-supported) the “withRaw” parameter.

    • POST /bulk-data/load

      • Added the single-valued mapDataSources parameter which accepts URL-encoded JSON to map the original data sources to target data sources.
      • Added the single-valued mapEntityTypes parameter which accepts URL-encoded JSON to map the original entity types to target entity types.

• Removed pre-recorded mock data from integration tests for versions prior to 2.0.0 and added pre-recorded mock data for integratioon tests for v2.0.0.

• Added JSON pretty-printing option to JsonUtils' toJsonText() functions
• Removed Dockerfile-package

[1.7.7] - 2019-09-30

Changes in 1.7.7

• Fixed auto tests to skip instead of fail if Senzing native libraries are not available.

• Added missing G2ConfigMgr.destroy() call in SzApiServer during shutdown
• Updated repository manager code used for JUnit tests to check for errors when initializing the configuration manager and when creating the standard configuration.
• Changes to Unit Tests:
  • Updated unit tests to preserve repos if any tests associated with that repo failed.
  • Updated location of unit test entity repos to live in the ./target/test-repos directory during a Maven build and modified the repo directory names to be based off the associated unit test name.
  • Updated the module name used for Senzing initialization in auto tests to match the current auto test for post-failure diagnostic purposes.
  • Added forced preservation of unit test entity repos passing the -Dsenzing.preserve.test.repos=true option to Maven.

[1.7.5] - 2019-09-17

Changes in 1.7.5

• Corrected errant definition of SzVersionInfo's configCompatabilityVersion field as an integer to make it a string to allow for semantic versioning. This changes the response to the GET /version endpoint. NOTE: This change may require that previously generated client stubs be regenerated to avoid trying to parse the semantic version string as an integer.

[1.7.4] - 2019-09-13

Changes in 1.7.4

• Less repetitive/verbose output when invalid command line options are provided.
• Fixes auto tests when building with 1.11.1.x versions of native Senzing libs.

[1.7.3] - 2019-08-30

Changes in 1.7.3

• Fixed bug where the initialization of the configuration manager (G2ConfigMgr.initV2()) was not checked for success or failure. Now the API server ensures that initialization succeeded before proceeding further.
• Removed warnings that could occur if building with version 1.11.x of g2.jar

[1.7.2] - 2019-08-19

Added in 1.7.2

• Added --configmgr option to handle managing configurations when initializing with JSON and leveraging the configuration from the database. This includes the ability to migrate an INI file to JSON and conditionally upload the referenced configuration file to the database and make it the default (see: --migrateIni)
• Added the ability to auto reinitialize the configuration with the latest default configuration for the repository if the default configuration changes while the API server is running. This is monitored for changes every 10 seconds and will be checked on demand if specific G2Engine functions fail.
• Added the -configId option to lock the API server to a specific configuration. When this option is used then the auto reinitialization does not occur since the chosen configuration is likely not be the default configuration.
• Added -readOnly command-line option to cause the PUT and POST endpoints for loading records to always return an HTTP 403 Forbidden response.
• Now a non-root, immutable container.
• RPM based installation.

Changed in 1.7.2

• senzing/senzing-api-server:1.7.2 pinned to senzing/senzing-base:1.2.1
• Modified SzResolvedEntity so the relationshipData is populated from the features and added auto tests to verify. Note: this will not be provided if featureMode is set to NONE.
• Modified SzResolvedEntity so the otherData is populated from the records and added auto tests to verify. Note: this will not be populated if forceMinimal is true since no records will be retrieved.
• Internally upgraded the processing of command line arguments to reuse the same functions for the ConfigurationManager and SzApiServer classes as well as the intenral RepositoryManager class (used in auto tests).
• Fixed Junit auto tests with windows (EntityGraphServicesTest) -- worked around libpostal bug in native Senzing API (Windows version).

Deprecated in 1.7.2

• Deprecated -iniFile option in favor of newly added -initFile, -initEnvVar and -initJson options to initialize with JSON instead of an INI file.

[1.7.1] - 2019-08-07

Changed in 1.7.1

• Modified Makefile to disable Junit tests during Docker build until failures specific to the Docker build can be diagnosed.

Security in 1.7.1

• Upgraded third-party dependencies to get security patches

[1.7.0] - 2019-07-22

Added in 1.7.0

• Added GET /version endpoint to get detailed version information
• Added GET /config/current to get the raw configuration JSON that is currently being used by the API Server
• Added GET /config/default to get a default bootstrap configuration JSON file that can be used to compare versus the current configuration. NOTE: this is NOT the same as the "default configuration" in the G2ConfigMgr API, but rather represents a brand new out-of-the-box configuration.
• Added Junit Jupiter auto tests to verify all functionality and fixed entity path "including source" functions which were broken (as exposed by tests).
• Now requires g2.jar version 1.10.x or higher

[1.6.1] - 2019-06-10

Added in 1.6.1

• Merge pull request #52 from Senzing/issue-51.caceres.record-resolutio…
• …n-fields
• Added SzMatchedRecord which extends SzEntityRecord to resolve issue 51
• Added SzMatchedRecord, extending SzEntityRecord, to add match score information to matched records in an SzResolvedEntity. Modified SzResolvedEntity to use SzMatchedRecord instead of SzEntityRecord for its record list.
