Version 4.0.8

Released on 2019/11/07.

Note

Please consult the Upgrade Notes before upgrading from CrateDB 3.x or earlier. Before upgrading to 4.0.8 you should be running a CrateDB cluster that is at least on 3.0.7.

We recommend that you upgrade to the latest 3.3 release before moving to 4.0.8.

If you want to perform a rolling upgrade, your current CrateDB version number must be at least Version 4.0.2. Any upgrade from a version prior to this will require a full restart upgrade.

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.

Fixes

• Improved the handling of sorted queries with a large limit, to reduce the chance of them causing a out of memory error.

• Fixed a NullPointerException that could occur when querying the settings column of information_schema.table_partitions.

• Fixed an issue in the Admin interface that caused the pagination Previous button to not display the whole list of results for that page in the console view.

• Fixed an issue that could prevent CREATE SNAPSHOT from succeeding, resulting in a partial snapshot which contained failure messages incorrectly indicating that the index is corrupt.

• Fixed an issue resulting in a parsing exception on SHOW TABLE statements when a default expression is implicitly cast to the related column type and the column type contains a SPACE character (like e.g. double precision).
