Notable Changes

  • Galera updated to 26.4.10.

  • Debian 11 support added.

  • Enterprise Spider no longer enables pushdown of UDFs and Stored Functions to the Data Node by default: (MDEV-26545)

    • The default value of spider_use_pushdown_udf has changed from -1 to 0

    • In previous releases, Enterprise Spider pushed UDFs and Stored Functions down to the Data Node by default, which could cause query results to be inconsistent.

    • Starting with this release, all UDFs and stored functions are evaluated on the Spider Node by default. If desired, pushdown of UDFs and Stored Functions can be explicitly enabled by setting spider_use_pushdown_udf=1. Testing is recommended to confirm that query results are consistent.

  • Performance Schema tables provide descriptions of each column in the COMMENT column option. (MDEV-25325)

  • In the Spider ODBC Topology, Enterprise Spider automatically sets the appropriate transaction isolation level for the ODBC data source. (MENT-1328)

  • The InnoDB Force Recovery procedure has changed to differentiate between rollback of DDL and DML operations. The changes are: (MDEV-25683)

    • The behavior of innodb_force_recovery is no longer identical when innodb_force_recovery=3 and innodb_force_recovery=4

    • When innodb_force_recovery=3 is set, InnoDB skips rollback of DML operations, but DDL operations will still be rolled back using the DDL log.

    • When innodb_force_recovery=4 is set, InnoDB skips rollback of both DML and DDL operations. This behavior is equivalent to setting innodb_force_recovery=3 in versions earlier than MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.6.5.
