== What's New in Spring Batch 4.3
TDB
This release comes with a number of new features, performance improvements,
dependency updates and API deprecations. This section describes the most
important changes. For a complete list of changes, please refer to the
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/releases/tag/4.3.0[release notes].
[[newFeatures]]
=== New features
==== New synchronized ItemStreamWriter
Similar to the `SynchronizedItemStreamReader`, this release introduces a
`SynchronizedItemStreamWriter`. This feature is useful in multi-threaded steps
where concurrent threads need to be synchronized to not override each other's writes.
==== New JpaQueryProvider for named queries
This release introduces a new `JpaNamedQueryProvider` next to the
`JpaNativeQueryProvider` to ease the configuration of JPA named queries when
using the `JpaPagingItemReader`:
[source, java]
----
JpaPagingItemReader<Foo> reader = new JpaPagingItemReaderBuilder<Foo>()
.name("fooReader")
.queryProvider(new JpaNamedQueryProvider("allFoos", Foo.class))
// set other properties on the reader
.build();
----
==== New JpaCursorItemReader Implementation
JPA 2.2 added the ability to stream results as a cursor instead of only paging.
This release introduces a new JPA item reader that uses this feature to
stream results in a cursor-based fashion similar to the `JdbcCursorItemReader`
and `HibernateCursorItemReader`.
==== New JobParametersIncrementer implementation
Similar to the `RunIdIncrementer`, this release adds a new `JobParametersIncrementer`
that is based on a `DataFieldMaxValueIncrementer` from Spring Framework.
==== GraalVM Support
This release adds initial support to run Spring Batch applications on GraalVM.
The support is still experimental and will be improved in future releases.
==== Java records Support
This release adds support to use Java records as items in chunk-oriented steps.
The newly added `RecordFieldSetMapper` supports data mapping from flat files to
Java records, as shown in the following example:
[source, java]
----
@Bean
public FlatFileItemReader<Person> itemReader() {
return new FlatFileItemReaderBuilder<Person>()
.name("personReader")
.resource(new FileSystemResource("persons.csv"))
.delimited()
.names("id", "name")
.fieldSetMapper(new RecordFieldSetMapper<>(Person.class))
.build();
}
----
In this example, the `Person` type is a Java record defined as follows:
[source, java]
----
public record Person(int id, String name) { }
----
The `FlatFileItemReader` uses the new `RecordFieldSetMapper` to map data from
the `persons.csv` file to records of type `Person`.
[[performanceImprovements]]
=== Performance improvements
==== Use bulk writes in RepositoryItemWriter
Up to version 4.2, in order to use `CrudRepository#saveAll` in `RepositoryItemWriter`,
it was required to extend the writer and override `write(List)`.
In this release, the `RepositoryItemWriter` has been updated to use
`CrudRepository#saveAll` by default.
==== Use bulk writes in MongoItemWriter
The `MongoItemWriter` used `MongoOperations#save()` in a for loop
to save items to the database. In this release, this writer has been
updated to use `org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.BulkOperations` instead.
==== Job start/restart time improvement
The implementation of `JobRepository#getStepExecutionCount()` used to load
all job executions and step executions in-memory to do the count on the framework
side. In this release, the implementation has been changed to do a single call to
the database with a SQL count query in order to count step executions.
[[dependencyUpdates]]
=== Dependency updates
This release updates dependent Spring projects to the following versions:
* Spring Framework 5.3
* Spring Data 2020.0

[[sqlfireDeprecation]]
==== SQLFire support deprecation
SQLFire has been in https://www.vmware.com/latam/products/pivotal-sqlfire.html[EOL]
