Version 0.7.0 of Cascading and 0.3.0 of Cascading.groovy is now available for download. For details check out the announcements.

Some people may have noticed already, but I've founded a new company with the goal of taking Cascading to the next logical level in the clustered computing space. Concurrent, Inc. currently only offers alternative licensing and support for Cascading, but watch that space for further announcements as things unfold.

I've been invited to speak at the next Hadoop User Group meeting on July 22 at the Yahoo! campus. The meetings are open to all interested parties, and there is always free beer and pizza. Plus you get to meet developers of other Hadoop related projects like ZooKeeper and Pig. Hope to see you there.

A recent thread on the Hadoop mailing list prompted me to throw out some quick comments on Cascading and how it compares to Apache PIG. I'm reposting those comments here with minor edits for clarity.

Version 0.2.0 of Cascading.groovy is now available for download. For details check out the announcement. Cascading.grooy is our Groovy language interpreter extension to Cascading.

Version 0.6.0 of Cascading is now available for download. For details check out the announcement.

A couple interesting quotes from the Hadoop user list. Not indicative of anything in particular, but noteworthy.

After much poking around and experimentation, we just packaged and released 0.1.0 of Cascading.groovy, our Groovy language interpreter extension. Read more on the Cascading site.

Version 0.5.0 of Cascading is now available for download. For details check out the announcement.

Just wanted to quickly point out we have a new site online for Cascading. Also, we added some extra documentation. See our Gentle Introduction to Cascading for a really simple primer to building Cascading applications.
