Version 4.2.4

Released on 2020-08-26.

Note

If you are upgrading a cluster, you must be running CrateDB 4.0.2 or higher before you upgrade to 4.2.4.

We recommend that you upgrade to the latest 4.1 release before moving to 4.2.4.

A rolling upgrade from 4.1.7+ to 4.2.4 is supported.

Before upgrading, you should back up your data.

See the Version 4.2.0 release notes for a full list of changes in the 4.2 series.

Fixes

  • Fixed a performance regression that caused SELECT statements on tables with generated partition columns and a predicate that uses a column used to compute the partition column to hit all partitions instead of only a subset.

  • Fixed an issue that could lead to a IndexOutOfBoundsException when using virtual tables and joins.

  • Fixed an issue that declared the rule optimizer settings as global. The settings are now session local.

  • Fixed an issue that prevented the MATCH predicate from working in mixed clusters running 4.1.8 and 4.2.

  • Fixed an issue that prevented user-defined functions in a custom schema from working if used in a generated column expression.

  • Fixed an issue that allowed users to use a function in a generated column that didn’t fully match the given arguments, leading to a subsequent runtime failure when trying to access tables.

  • Fixed exposure of the full qualified name of a sub-script column in information_schema.tables.partitioned_by and pg_catalog.pg_attribute.attname to use the CrateDB SQL compatible identifier.

  • Fixed an issue that led to a Message not fully read error when trying to decommission a node using ALTER CLUSTER DECOMMISSION.

  • Fixed an issue that resulted in incorrect results when querying the sys.nodes table. Predicates used in the WHERE clause on columns that were absent in the select-list never matched.
