Version 2.0.6

Released on 2017/07/19.

Note

If you are upgrading a cluster, you must be running CrateDB Version 1.1.3 or higher before you upgrade to 2.0.6.

If you want to perform a rolling upgrade, your current CrateDB version number must be Version 2.0.0. If you want to upgrade from a version prior to this, the upgrade will introduce all of the breaking changes listed for Version 2.0.0, and will require a full restart upgrade.

Consult the upgrade notes for Version 2.0.0 when upgrading.

Warning

If you’re using CrateDB’s BLOB storage you should consult the Upgrade Notes.

Before upgrading, you should back up your data.

Upgrade Notes

Due to a bug introduced in Version 2.0.0 that can cause loss of BLOB data, it is necessary to perform a rolling upgrade if you’re running a version >= 2.0.0 and < 2.0.4 and using BLOB tables.

Additionally, the number of replicas needs to be set to at least 1 for all blob tables and you need to make sure that data is fully replicated before continuing.

Only then you may upgrade one node after each other.

Changelog

Fixes

  • Allow GROUP BY on any scalar functions, e.g.:

    1. SELECT id + 1 FROM t GROUP BY id

  • Added support for conditionals with NULL arguments.

  • Do not include Lucene indices (metadata) of BLOB tables in snapshot when using CREATE SNAPSHOT with ALL, because the actual binary files of BLOB tables cannot be backed up using SNAPSHOT/RESTORE functionality.

  • Fixed rename table operation for empty partitioned tables.

  • Fixed an issue which resulted in an exception when using the same global aggregation symbol twice as a select item on a join query.

  • Fixed an issue that caused wrong results to be returned for global aggregation on JOINS when literal expression in WHERE clause is evaluated to false, e.g.:

    1. SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t1, t2 WHERE 1=2

  • Provide comprehensive error message when using a NULL literal in GROUP BY.

  • Allow DISTINCT to operate on literals, e.g.:

    1. SELECT DISTINCT ['val1', 'val2'], col1, col2, ... FROM t

  • Allow GROUP BY on any literal, e.g.:

    1. SELECT {a=1, b=2}, COUNT(*) FROM t GROUP BY 1

  • Fixed an issue that can hang the nodes when running an insert from query statement for a large dataset when the target table is an empty partitioned table.

  • Fixed a race condition which could cause UPDATE or DELETE statements to get stuck.

  • Fixed a ClassCastException that could occur on certain queries if connected via the PostgreSQL protocol.

  • Fixed an issue that could cause the _score >= <minScore> filter to not work correctly if used in a query with an ORDER BY clause.
