Overview
MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore 6.4.1 is a maintenance release of MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore. MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore is a columnar storage engine included with MariaDB Enterprise Server. This is the fifth release in the Enterprise ColumnStore 6 series.
MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore 6.4.1 was released on 2022-07-12. This release is of General Availability (GA) maturity.
This release of MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore is included with MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.6.8-4.
Notable Changes
ColumnStore now includes Cluster Management API (CMAPI) 6.4.1.
ColumnStore has optimized the storage and usage of the Extent Map to improve scalability. (MCOL-4917)
The Extent Map is now stored as a red-black tree instead of a linear array.
The Extent Map's new data structure provides optimizations for many operations.
The
mcsRebuildEM
utility now supports both the ColumnStore Object Storage Topology and the ColumnStore Shared Local Storage Topology. (MCOL-5106)The
mcsRebuildEM
utility now calculates the high water mark for system catalog files. (MCOL-5131)
Issues Fixed
Can result in a hang or crash
ColumnStore's systemd unit files use startup and shutdown timeouts that are too low, which can lead to race conditions during startup and shutdown. (MCOL-4775, MCOL-4867, MCOL-5105)
The race conditions could cause the Extent Map to become corrupt.
The race conditions could also cause the
DMLProc
process to repeatedly try to rollback the same transactions in a crash loop.
When a recursive CTE is executed with a ColumnStore table, the server crashes. (MCOL-4778)
Starting with this release, when a recursive CTE is executed with a ColumnStore table, the
ER_CHECK_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
error code is raised to the client with the following message:
ERROR 1178 (42000): The storage engine for the table doesn't support Recursive CTE
When a disk-based JOIN is executed,
ExeMgr
can crash. (MCOL-5042)
Can result in unexpected behavior
Related to install and upgrade
Internal installation scripts refer to legacy OAM components and can break some installations. (MCOL-5060)
