We're pleased to announce the release for version 1.5.2 of the MongoDB Hadoop Connector! This release fixes a couple issues when using the "pymongo-spark" library, including a bug where datetimes were being decoded to java.util.GregorianCalendar and another bug where pymongo-was not working in non-local Spark setups.

For complete details on the issues resolved in 1.5.2, consult the release notes on Jira: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/HADOOP/fixforversion/16602

To obtain the jars for this release, you can use a dependency management system like Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.mongodb.mongo-hadoop</groupId>
    <artifactId>mongo-hadoop-core</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.2</version>
</dependency>

or Gradle:

compile 'org.mongodb.mongo-hadoop:mongo-hadoop-core:1.5.2'

You can also download the jars manually from the Maven Central Repository.

The authoritative documentation for the connector is the Github wiki for the project. If you find any bugs or would like to request a feature, please file an issue for the HADOOP project on the MongoDB Jira.
