Feast v0.4.0

v0.4.0 (2019-12-28)

This is a major release which changes the way features are ingested and retrieved, for the purpose of enhancing feature discoverability and ease of use.

Change summary

• We have introduced project namespacing, which now allows users to logically group features in a way that they will be used and shared, as opposed to how they are ingested. This is the first step towards the RFC published here.
• We have also introduced async feature set registration, which improves overall performance when attempting to register several feature sets at once.

Full Changelog

Implemented enhancements:

• Edit description in feature specification to also reflect in BigQuery schema description. #239
• Allow for disabling of metrics pushing #57
