GridGain 8.7.15 Release Notes

New Features

Memory Quotas and Query Offloading: Memory Quotas prevent SQL queries from running out of memory. With memory quotas, the SQL engine doesn’t allow a query to allocate more than a pre-configured amount of heap memory. If the limit is reached, the query is either stopped or offloaded to disk depending on the configuration properties. Refer to the dedicated documentation section for details.
.NET Platform Cache: .NET platform Cache is a cache that stores cache entries in a deserialized form in the CLR heap and improves performance of local operations from .NET clients. Refer to the .NET Platform Cache section.
Preventing Partition Loss on Shutdown: A system property was added to prevent partition loss on node shutdown.
Communication with Client Nodes behind NAT: An experimental option was added to enable a special mode of client-server communication when client nodes are deployed behind a NAT. Refer to the Running Client Nodes Behind NAT section for details.

Known Issues

GG-28497

The snapshot management tool requires incorrect permission (ADMIN_CACHE) when performing the CHECK operation. This will be fixed in the next release.

GG-28590

If you rolling-upgrade from version 8.7.7 or earlier, you may see the following error in the log: class org.apache.ignite.IgniteCheckedException: Ignite cluster has nodes that don’t support distributed metastorage feature. Writing cannot be completed. You can safely ignore this message.

Fixed Issues

Community Edition Changes

GG-28131

Communication

DNS reverse lookup will not be performed if node’s 'localHost' property is set as an IP address. Add IGNITE_TCP_COMM_SET_ATTR_HOST_NAMES=true to the JVM startup options to return to old behavior (DNS lookup will be performed even if 'localHost' is set to an IP address).

GG-27306

Communication

Added an ability to initiate client-server TCP connection from client side via discovery

GG-28241

Control Script

Added the "--verbose" option to control.sh|bat, which prints stacktrace when available.

GG-27458

Control Script

Added "--check-sizes" option to the "validate_indexes" command to check whether index and cache size are equal.

GG-28383

Metrics & Monitoring

Fixed incorrect calculation of the "indexBuildCountPartitionsLeft" metric.

GG-28088

Metrics & Monitoring

Added histrogram metrics for get/put/remove cache operations.

GG-28445

Platforms & Thin Clients

.NET: Use platform cache to execute local ScanQuery with partition.

GG-28305

Platforms & Thin Clients

.NET: Added ICompute.WithExecutor.

GG-28303
