Fixed Issues

Community Edition Changes

GG-24471

Affinity & Baseline Topology

Improved partition consistency validation.

GG-27779

Affinity & Baseline Topology

Improved partition loss handling.

GG-23133

Control Script

Added the "--cache check_index_inline_sizes" command to the control script. The command checks that index inline size is the same on all cluster nodes. The command could be useful to analyze performance problems with SQL queries.

GG-28218

Discovery

Improved Dynamic DNS support in TcpDiscoveryVmIpFinder.

GG-13034

Metrics & Monitoring

Added the IgniteMXBean.getPublicThreadPoolSize method. IgniteMXBean.getExecutorServiceFormatted was deprecated.

GG-27581

Platforms & Thin Clients

.NET: Added partition-based implementations of AffinityCall and AffinityRun.

GG-27289

Platforms & Thin Clients

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

GG-27288

Platforms & Thin Clients

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

GG-28579

Platforms & Thin Clients

.NET: Expose data types returned by the IFieldQueryCursor query cursor.

GG-27286

Platforms & Thin Clients

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

GG-23897

Rebalance

Fixed incorrect calculation of rebalance statistics. Added the IGNITE_WRITE_REBALANCE_PARTITION_DISTRIBUTION_THRESHOLD system property to configure the output of partition distribution.

GG-26250

SQL

GG-28610

SQL
