GridGain 9.1.15 Release Notes

GridGain 9.1.15 brings multiple improvements and support for snapshots of data structures, drops support for table-based partition colocation, and updates the supported Python versions.

Overview

GridGain 9.1.15 is a private release that brings multiple improvements and support for snapshots of data structures.

Major Changes

Partition Colocation

With this release, partition table-based partition colocation is no longer supported. This behavior was deprecated since GridGain 9.1.4.

For clusters created on GridGain 9.1.3 or earlier, or for clusters where IGNITE_ZONE_BASED_REPLICATION property was set to false (default is true), it is now required to manually recreate the cluster and migrate data to it.

For clusters with default colocation settings created on GridGain 9.1.4 or later, no additional actions are required.

Supported Python Versions

In this release, support for Python 3.9 was dropped and support for Python 3.14 was added in Python client and Python DB API.

If you are using Python 3.9, make sure to update to 3.10 or later.

New Features

Structure Snapshots

Data snapshots now support creating snapshots of distributed maps and sequences. When a snapshot is created for a table, any data structures required for it are included in the snapshot automatically. You can also use the new --structures parameter to explicitly specify the data structures that you want to include in the snapshot, for example:

cluster snapshot create --type=full --tables=PERSON --structures=personStruct --destination=relative-path-example

Default Query Staleness Configuration

Since GridGain 9.1.11, you could configure data staleness for individual tables. This release improves support for query configuration by providing a way to set it in cluster-wide SQL configuration. The new minStaleRowsCount and staleRowsFraction allow you to configure the number or row updates since last plan recalculation and the fraction of the table respectively.

You can configure these parameters from the CLI tool, for example:

cluster config update ignite.sql.createTable.minStaleRowsCount=1000

Ignored Fields in DR Connector

When configuring data center replication from GridGain 8, you can now configure ignored key fields. The configuration mirrors the previously available configuration for value fields. The example below shows a minimal configuration that ignores fields K4 and V4.

dr-service-config = {
  cacheMapping = [
    {
      cache = "cacheName"
      table = "schemaName.tableName"
      keyFields = [
        { field = "K1", column = "COL_1" }
        { field = "K2", column = "COL_2" }
        { field = "K3", column = "COL_3" }
        { field = "K4", column = "ignored_column", ignore = true }
      ]
      valueFields = [
        { field = "V1", column = "COL_4" }
        { field = "V2", column = "COL_5" }
        { field = "V3", column = "COL_6" }
        { field = "V4", column = "ignored_column", ignore = true }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Upgrade Information

You can upgrade to current GridGain version from previous releases. Below is a list of versions that are compatible with the current version. Compatibility with other versions is not guaranteed. If you are on a version that is not listed, contact GridGain for information on upgrade options.

9.1.8, 9.1.9, 9.1.10, 9.1.11, 9.1.12, 9.1.13, 9.1.14

When performing a rolling upgrade from GridGain 9.1.8 or 9.1.9, it is required to update to 9.1.10 first.

When updating from older versions, we recommend updating to version 9.1.8 first, before performing an update to current version.

Known Limitations

Rolling Upgrade Over 9.1.10

When performing a rolling upgrade from GridGain 9.1.9 or earlier, it is necessary to first upgrade to 9.1.10 before upgrading to 9.1.11 or a later version. This is caused by improvements in rolling upgrade procedure that make skipping 9.1.10 with a rolling upgrade impossible.

The upgrade to 9.1.10 must be performed for the whole cluster and committed before the next upgrade can be started.

You do not need to perform this intermediary upgrade when upgrading with downtime, as it only affects the rolling upgrade procedure.

Data Restoration After Data Rebalance

Currently, data rebalance may cause partition distribution to change and cause issues with snapshots and data recovery. In particular:

• It is currently not possible to restore a LOCAL snapshot if data rebalance happened after snapshot creation. This will be addressed in one of the upcoming releases.

• It is currently not possible to perform point-in-time recovery if data rebalance happened after table creation. This will be addressed in one of the upcoming releases.

SQL Performance in Complex Scenarios

There are known issues with the performance of SQL read-write transactions in complex read-write scenarios. These issues will be addressed in an upcoming releases.
