Version 4.0.1

Released on 2019/07/08.

Note

Please consult the Upgrade Notes before upgrading. Before upgrading to 4.0.1 you should be running a CrateDB cluster that is at least on 3.0.7.

When restarting, CrateDB will migrate indexes to a newer format. Depending on the amount of data, this may delay node start-up time.

Warning

Tables that were created prior CrateDB 3.x will not function with 4.x and must be recreated before moving to 4.x.x.

You can recreate tables using COPY TO and COPY FROM or by inserting the data into a new table.

Before upgrading, you should back up your data.

See the Version 4.0.0 release notes for a full list of changes in the 4.0 series.

Fixes

Fixed a possible NPE which could occur when querying the sys.allocations table.
Fixed the tables compatibility check to correctly indicate when tables need to be recreated in preparation for a CrateDB upgrade towards the next major version of CrateDB.
Fixed an issue that led to DEFAULT constraints of inner columns of object columns to be ignored.
The values provided in INSERT or UPDATE statements for object columns which contain generated expressions are now validated. The computed expression must match the provided value. This makes the behavior consistent with how top level columns of a table are treated.
Fixed support for ordering by literal constants. Example: SELECT 1, * FROM t ORDER BY 1"
