Version 5.1.2¶

Released on 2022-12-07.

Note

If you are upgrading a cluster, you must be running CrateDB 4.0.2 or higher before you upgrade to 5.1.2.

We recommend that you upgrade to the latest 5.0 release before moving to 5.1.2.

A rolling upgrade from 5.0.x to 5.1.2 is supported. Before upgrading, you should back up your data.

Warning

Tables that were created before CrateDB 4.x will not function with 5.x and must be recreated before moving to 5.x.x.

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

Fixes ¶

Fixed privileges for DECLARE for cursors to make it accessible for non-super-users. All users can declare cursors as long as they have the required permissions for the query used within DECLARE.
Added dynamic bulk sizing for update by query or delete by query operations to reduce memory pressure and fix out of memory errors when running update statements with large assignment expressions.
Fixed inefficient join optimizations on hash and nested-loop joins when table statistics aren’t available.
Fixed a race condition that could lead to a NullPointerException when using IS NULL on an object that was just added to a table.
Fixed an issue that caused the generated expressions on columns of type GEO_SHAPE not being evaluated on writes and such being ignored.
Fixed an issue that could generate duplicate data on COPY FROM while some internal retries were happening due to I/O errors e.g. socket timeouts.
Fixed an issue that caused routing.allocation.*.{attribute} settings to be ignored when executing ALTER TABLE SET on a partitioned table.
Fixed an issue that caused the setting, number_of_replicas to be ignored when executing ALTER TABLE SET on a partitioned table.
