Fixes

  • Fixed an issue that caused the IP restriction in the host based authentication to not work correctly in all cases

  • Fixed a BWC issue with aggregation functions resolving in a mixed version cluster where at least one node is on version < 4.2.

  • Improved the throttling behavior of INSERT INTO .. <query>, it is now more aggressive to reduce the amount of memory used by a INSERT INTO operation.

  • Fixed an issue which resulted in an error when a parameter symbol (placeholder) is used inside an aggregation.

  • Fixed an issue that could lead to the incorrect result of joining more than two tables even if the join condition is satisfied. Only the hash join implementation was affected by the issue.

  • Fixed a regression introduced in 4.2.3 that prevented primary key lookups with parameter placeholders from working in some cases.

  • Fixed an issue resulting wrongly in a RED sys.health.health state for healthy partitions with less shards configured than the actual partitioned table.

  • Fixed the resulting value for sys.health.partition_ident for non-partitioned tables. As documented, a NULL value should be returned instead of an empty string.

  • Fixed a performance regression that caused unnecessary traffic and load to the active master node when processing INSERT statements.
