Major Changes

Breaking

• ‎Collection.add_geo_index() parameter ordered has been renamed to geo_json. The name ordered used to create lots of confusion.
• The api/traversal endpoint is no longer available starting with ArangoDB 3.12. This renders the arango.graph.Graph.traverse() unusable.

Non-Breaking

• Dropped support for ArangoDB 3.10.
• Pregel is deprecated since ArangoDB 3.12. The API can still be used with the driver, but it will eventually be removed when 3.11 support is over.
• Compression of requests and responses. By default compression is turned off, so this change has no effect unless the user specifies one of the newly introduced parameters.
  The ArangoClient gets two optional parameters:
  • request_compression - Represents the compression strategy, None by default. The reason for passing in an object instead of a string (such as deflate) is to allow the client to fine tune the compression algorithm.
  • response_compression - The equivalent of an Accept-Encoding string. This has no effect unless the server is configured to use encoding.

  client = ArangoClient(
      hosts="http://127.0.0.1:8529",
      request_compression=DeflateRequestCompression(),
      response_compression="deflate",
  )

• Full support on Options API [3.12]
• The add_index() becomes the new way of creating indexes. It takes a data parameter - the keys are pure ArangoDB REST API arguments, no snake_case conversion anymore. However, for the output, the legacy methods remain the same, while the new add_index method by default skips formatting. Legacy methods have been deprecated.

  collection.add_index({'type': 'persistent', 'fields': ['name'], 'unique': True})

7.7.0

This release marks a significant step forward in our support for ArangoDB's vast set of HTTP APIs, especially these added in 3.11.

🚀 Enhancements & New Features

• Database.view_info() - retrieves condensed information about a view (HTTP docs)
• Database.databases_accessible_to_user() retrieves the list of databases currently accessible to the user (HTTP docs)
• Added support for soft shutdowns (HTTP docs)
• Collection.info() - retrieves condensed information about a collection (HTTP docs)
• Collection.compact() - support for collection compaction (HTTP docs)
• Database.license() and Database.set_license() - get & set the license of an ArangoDB EE Instance. Can be called on single servers, Coordinators, and DB-Servers, as long as the user holds the necessary permissions (HTTP docs)
• Database.list_transactions() - list the running stream transactions (HTTP docs)
• Added Cluster Rebalance support through the Cluster interface (HTTP docs)

❌ Deprecations
As part of our ongoing commitment to enhance the driver's capabilities, we've made the decision to deprecate the Batch API. The BatchDatabase is still available, but it now uses a TreadPoolExecutor internally. To discourage its use we now issue a warning upon instantiating it. This warning may be disabled by the user. Note that, the Batch API of ArangoDB is long deprecated, and eventually the BatchDatabase part of this driver is going to be completely removed or repurposed.
