The Room in the house
summary
Room 2.1 adds usable features: Full-Text Search (FTS) with optional external content tables (Room auto-generates triggers to keep the FTS index in sync; MATCH queries replace slow LIKE scans; FTS virtual tables disallow foreign keys and use extra disk for shadow tables), database Views that let queries return LiveData without manual joins, multi-instance invalidation (opt-in IPC so separate processes see updates), AutoValue integration, and extra Rx async return types.
