Spring 5.0 Cookbook

Overview of this book

The Spring framework has been the go-to framework for Java developers for quite some time. It enhances modularity, provides more readable code, and enables the developer to focus on developing the application while the underlying framework takes care of transaction APIs, remote APIs, JMX APIs, and JMS APIs. The upcoming version of the Spring Framework has a lot to offer, above and beyond the platform upgrade to Java 9, and this book will show you all you need to know to overcome common to advanced problems you might face. Each recipe will showcase some old and new issues and solutions, right from configuring Spring 5.0 container to testing its components. Most importantly, the book will highlight concurrent processes, asynchronous MVC and reactive programming using Reactor Core APIs. Aside from the core components, this book will also include integration of third-party technologies that are mostly needed in building enterprise applications. By the end of the book, the reader will not only be well versed with the essential concepts of Spring, but will also have mastered its latest features in a solution-oriented manner.

Preface

Building applications for big data storage


NoSQL databases have become popular nowadays in building big data storage. Spring has provided support for some of the most popular big data technologies like Hadoop. However, this recipe aims to implement an application that can persist and retrieve data from big data storage technology that is scalable, easy to configure and set up, and simple when it comes to sharding, replications, and CRUD transactions. Before this chapter ends, here is an implementation of Spring Boot 2.0 that connects to Apache CouchDB with fewer configuration details.

Getting ready

Create a new Maven project, ch12-couch, that will implement data persistence and retrieval from the CouchDB storage.

How to do it...

Let us build a Spring 5 application that uses Apache CouchDB for big data storage by performing the following steps:

  1. First download the recent version of the Apache CouchDB installer from http://couchdb.apache.org/. Follow the installation procedure from their technical...
