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

Platforms & Thin Clients

.NET Thin Client: Added ClusterGroup API.

GG-28251

Platforms & Thin Clients

.NET: Added ICache.ClearStatistics, ICluster.ClearStatistics.

GG-27657

Platforms & Thin Clients

.NET: Added ICache.EnableStatistics, ICluster.EnableStatistics.

GG-27289

Platforms & Thin Clients

ODBC: SQLRowCount() now returns non-zero value for select queries. Returned value now depends on number of rows cached locally by driver.

GG-27288

Platforms & Thin Clients

ODBC: Added support for cursor column-wise binding. This allows user application to fetch result set rows in batches (SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE > 1).

GG-27286

Platforms & Thin Clients

ODBC: Some result set metadata such as returned by SQLNumResultCols() now can be called after SQLPrepare(), no need to call SQLExecute().

GG-25083

Platforms & Thin Clients

.NET: Added CLR heap caching layer.

GG-28149

SQL

File-related SQL functions are now disabled. This does not affect the COPY command.

GG-28142

SQL

OOM protection is now enabled by default.

GG-28007

SQL

New columns to monitor memory usage were added to LOCAL_SQL_RUNNING_QUERIES and LOCAL_SQL_QUERY_HISTORY.

GG-26421

SQL

Added a new field INITIATOR_ID to the LOCAL_SQL_RUNNING_QUERIES system view. This field indicates the originator of the query: thin client, JDBC/ODBC, compute task.

GG-28306

SQL

New security permission 'SET_QUERY_MEMORY_QUOTA' was introduced to limit the scope of users who are able to modify memory quotas.

GG-28489

Storage Engine

Baseline auto-adjust configuration methods were added to public API.

GG-28219

Transactions

Deprecated IgniteCache.lock() family of methods in favor of Ignite.reentrantLock().

Ultimate Edition Changes

GG-27933

Snapshots & PITR

Fixed an issue when an incremental snapshot of a partition would always fail to be created, and a full snapshot would be taken instead.
