GridGain 8.8.4 Release Notes
New Features
.NET to Java Type Mappings
Default naming conventions specific for both platforms are now supported. For example:
com.company.Model (Java)and
Com.Company.Model (.NET)are now interoperable.
Snapshot Utility and WAL Files Reader
This release introduces new functionality for WAL Files Reader to support additional diagnostics.
WAL segments information is now shown in the Snapshot Utility LIST command output.
Changes in Behavior
The default mode for the Data Replication State transfer is now Incremental. See the Data Replication Incremental State Transfer page for details.
Known Issues
Nodes May Crush During Update if Data Center Replication is Enabled on GridGain 8.8.4
GridGain updates data structure each time it receives a version update. Due to a bug in GridGain 8.8.4, entries from WAL logical records may cause errors if the version update was performed under load.
Workaround: If your nodes are affected, set the`-DGG_INCREMENTAL_STATE_TRANSFER=false` parameter while you use GridGain 8.8.4, or remove load from the node before update.
Rolling Upgrade Fails to Start when Security is Enabled
In GridGain 8.8.4, starting a rolling upgrade with the security feature enabled may cause the Authorization failed error.
Workaround: Use the control-utility.sh to start the rolling upgrade and explicitly specify the coordinator node host with the --host xxxx --port xxxx parameters (coordinator node is the oldest node in cluster topology).

Known Limitations
Jetty Configuration Incompatibility in GridGain 8.7.21 and Later
If you are upgrading from version 8.7.20 or earlier, consider an incompatibility issue related to Jetty configuration introduced in GridGain 8.7.21.
Your setup may be affected if:
-
You use the
ignite-rest-httpmodule (e.g. to connect to GridGain Web Console) -
You have a custom Jetty configuration that enables SSL for REST
-
Your Jetty configuration uses the
org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactoryclass -
The keystore specified in the Jetty configuration contains both the CA certificate and the private certificate
In this case, after starting a new version, an exception is thrown with an error message similar to the following:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: KeyStores with multiple certificates are not supported on the base class
org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory. (Use org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory$Server
or org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory$Client instead)To workaround this issue, alter the Jetty configuration to use org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory$Server or org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory$Client.
See the configuration example at the Client Certificate Authentication page.
Default rebalanceThreadPoolSize in GridGain 8.7.26 and Later
In GridGain 8.7.26, the default value of the property IgniteConfiguration.rebalanceThreadPoolSize changed from 1 to min(4, number of CPU / 4).
It may cause a compatibility issue under the following conditions:
-
When a Rolling Upgrade is performed
-
The upgrade is performed from 8.5.7 version (or earlier) to 8.5.x or from 8.7.3 (or earlier) to 8.7.x
-
The server nodes have at least 8 CPU cores
-
The nodes configuration does not have the property
IgniteConfiguration.rebalanceThreadPoolSize, so the default value is used
In this case, an exception is thrown with an error message similar to the following:
сlass org.apache.ignite.IgniteException: Rebalance configuration mismatch (fix configuration or set -DIGNITE_SKIP_CONFIGURATION_CONSISTENCY_CHECK=true system property).
Different values of such parameter may lead to rebalance process instability and hanging. [rmtNodeId=5fc58fb7-209d-489a-8034-0127a81abed6, locRebalanceThreadPoolSize = 4, rmtRebalanceThreadPoolSize = 1]To workaround this issue, change the configuration of the server nodes to rebalanceThreadPoolSize=1 so that it matches
the previous default configuration. For example:
<bean class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.IgniteConfiguration">
<property name="rebalanceThreadPoolSize" value="1"/>
<!-- The rest of the configuration goes here -->
</bean>Jetty Doesn’t Accept Incorrect Configuration in GridGain 8.7.31 and Later
In GridGain 8.7.31 Jetty was upgraded to 9.4.33. Starting that version, Jetty has more strict validation of the provided configuration files. Before that version, an incorrectly spelled property in the configuration file had no effect. Starting this version, errors in the configuration will lead to an error on start.
Your setup may be affected if:
-
You use the
ignite-rest-httpmodule (e.g. to connect to GridGain Web Console) -
You have a custom Jetty configuration for REST
-
The custom configuration has errors in it
You will need to fix the custom Jetty configuration before upgrading.
ignite.sh No Longer Enables Remote JMX by Default in GridGain 8.7.31 and Later
Starting from 8.7.31 version, GridGain no longer attempts to automatically enable the remote JMX. Default settings are known to cause issues if customized (for example, secure the connection). Also, in most cases, remote JMX is not required since many tools use local JMX connections (not using TCP).
Your setup may be affected if:
-
You start GridGain nodes via
ignite.shscript -
You connect to GridGain nodes' JMX interface remotely over TCP using the default configuration
To continue using remote JMX, you need to manually specify the required JMX settings. Please see the example below. Note that you don’t need remote JMX if you use a local connection, such as connecting JConsole to a GridGain process on the same host.
export JVM_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=33333 \
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"
bin/ignite.shRolling Upgrade from GridGain 8.7.9 and Earlier Fails if Data Center Replication is Enabled
Rolling upgrades from GridGain 8.7.9 and earlier to current GridGain version fails if data center replication is enabled and under load.
To work around this issue, you can first upgrade to GridGain 8.7.21, or a later 8.7.x version, and then to current version.
