Public Preview and Private Preview features

CelerData features have five potential maturity levels:

  • Private Preview
  • Public Preview
  • Generally Available (GA)
  • Deprecated
  • Removed

Most of the CelerData features are GA, and if there is no label in the documentation to indicate that a feature is Private Preview, Public Preview, or Deprecated—then the feature is GA.

Private Preview features​

  • Stability: Possibly buggy, with minor known issues.
  • Maturity: Low
  • Interface: The interface may be changed in the future. This includes command syntax, configuration parameters, defaults, feature removal, etc.
  • Availability: Private Preview features are off by default, and need to be allowed by setting a parameter with SQL or in a configuration file.
  • Production readiness: Private Preview features should not be used in production.
  • Support: Please submit a ticket in CelerData Support Portal. If you don't have access to CelerData Support Portal, please contact your account manager.

Public Preview features​

  • Stability: Well tested. May be not good for corner cases.
  • Maturity: Core functionality is complete, may not be performance-optimized.
  • Interface: The interface may be changed in the future. May be not backward compatible.
  • Availability: Public Preview features are off by default, and need to be allowed by setting a parameter with SQL or in a configuration file.
  • Production readiness: Public Preview features are not recommended for production use.

GA features​

  • Stability: Comprehensively tested.
  • Maturity: High.
  • Interface: Stable API.
  • Availability: GA features are on by default.

Deprecated features​

Some features are deprecated—marked for removal, because they are replaced with other features or the features were not being used. Generally when a feature is deprecated we will suggest an alternative in the documentation.
