Version End of Life. 15 Aug 2024

Release 6.1.21 contains a number of critical bug fixes and improvements.

Behavior Changes

The following changes have been made to Tungsten Cluster and may affect existing scripts and integration tools. Any scripts or environment which make use of these tools should check and update for the new configuration:

• Command-line Tools

  • The tungsten_skip_all command (along with alias tungsten_skip_seqno) now shows the full pendingExceptionMessage instead of just pendingError, and the More choice shows the pendingErrorEventId and the pendingError.

    Issues: CT-2030

  • Enabling a custom backup script does not require it to be made the default option anymore, i.e. Setting --repl-backup-method to the custom backup script is not required anymore.

    Issues: CT-2039

  • No longer using connector graceful-stop together with systemd for upgrades. The underlying change of binary confuses systemd scripts.

    Issues: CT-2113

Known Issue

The following issues are known within this release but not considered critical, nor impact the operation of Tungsten Cluster. They will be addressed in a subsequent patch release.

• Tungsten Connector

  • Note, this bug only affects this release, v6.1.21

    Each "SET xxx" statement issued when in proxy mode is being logged. On top of polluting the logs, this extra logging can overwhelm the connector, making it slow to respond and have client threads pile up, up to the point where that could exhaust memory

    If using Proxy mode, it is advised to NOT install this release, and instead use either version 6.1.20 or 6.1.22

    Issues: CT-2165(ki)
