Version End of Life. Not Yet Set
Release 8.0.2 contains a number of bug fixes, stability improvements and new features.
This release contains bug fix CT-2632, CT-2638 and CT-2640 that fixes a bug in handling of - (hypens) and mixed case in hostnames and servicenames.
If you have -'s in either of these areas, or you are running a Composite Active/Active topology, please do NOT upgrade to v8.0.0 or v8.0.1 and instead upgrade directly to this v8.0.2 release
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:
Improvements, new features and functionality
New feature: tungsten.ini backup and history.
When enabled with the tpm flag tungsten-ini-backup (false by default),
the tpm update command will create a copy of the current INI file
(default: /etc/tungsten/tungsten.ini) as $CONTINUENT_ROOT/history/ini/tungsten.ini.YYYYMMDDhhmmss
When enabled with the tpm flag tungsten-ini-backup , the
tpm install command will create the first history file and the history
subdir, if needed.
A new sub-command, tpm ini diff has been added to compare the current INI
file (default: /etc/tungsten/tungsten.ini) and a history file (default: latest history file found), and can
also accept --stamp {YYMMDDhhmmss} to specify which file to diff by timestamp.
A new sub-command, tpm ini backup has been added to manually invoke the same copy that the tpm update command does.
Added two new tpm configuration flags:
tungsten-ini-backup (default: false) : Enable the
tungsten.ini automatic backup feature during
tpm install and tpm update
tungsten-ini-history-dir (default:
$CONTINUENT_ROOT/history/ini) : Define the location for
tungsten.ini backup/history files
Issues: CT-2635
A new subcommand tpm ini defaults has been added to list any tpm option that actually has a default
value defined in the tools/tpm_options_db.txt file, along with the default value.
Additionally, documentation has been updated to show defaults and options for all properties where applicable.
Issues: CT-2634
New feature tpm copy --example will show the manual steps taken by tpm copy --init to copy the cluster certificate files to other nodes.
Issues: CT-2636
Fixed an issue where - (hyphens) in hostnames combined with a Composite Active/Active topology, would cause the replicators to reconfigure against the wrong tracking schema.
Issues: CT-2632
Fixed an issue where mixed case letters in hostnames combined with a Composite Active/Active topology, would cause the replicators to reconfigure against the wrong tracking schema.
Issues: CT-2638
The use of the - character in datasource service names is now propery handled.
In versions 7.x of tungsten, the - character, internally, was converted to an _. From v8 onwards the - character is maintained, however this led to an issue where tpm would fail during an upgrade as it was unable to correctly identify the service names.
If you use the - in your servicenames and you are currently running v7.x, you will need to
replace the - with an _ in your /etc/tungsten/tungsten.ini file and upgrade directly to v8.0.2. If you wish to maintain the -
please contact COntinuent Support who will assist in the uphrade process.
Issues: CT-2640
Fixed an issue in the Drizzle driver that could cause memory errors when handling large string parameters.
Issues: CT-2627
Connector configuration files to execute Tungsten-specific show slave status request now get the right schema to select from.
Issues: CT-2639
Fixed issue introduced by CT-2511 (dual certificate support) where the keystore was reloaded at every new connection.
Issues: CT-2652
