GridGain 9.0.2 Release Notes

Overview

GridGain 9.0.2 is focused on improving CLI reporting and cluster performance.

Known Limitations

Delay on DDL Requests

DDL requests, such as CREATE TABLE, take a few seconds each to complete. Because of that, large database initialization scripts may take longer than expected. This will be addressed in an upcoming release.

Performance of GridGain 8 Applications

Some scenarios may see lower performance when moving to GridGain 9. This is a temporary limitation, and the performance in these scenarios will be improved in upcoming versions.

High-Availability with Two Data Copies

When a partition loses majority of its copies, it becomes read-only. This behavior is required for split-brain protection. Because of this, in a distribution zone with 2 data replicas, losing one node may lead to partial unavailability.

To achieve both split-brain protection and full availability with one node down, use 3 or more replicas.

Upcoming versions will add a high-availability mode that support full availability with one node down when using 2 replicas.

Data Center Replication with Multiple Data Centers

Complex Data Center Replication topologies (for example, the ones involving cycles) of 3 or more data centers are not supported. This will be addressed in an upcoming release.

GridGain 8 Features

The following features of GridGain 8 are not available in this version, and will be added in upcoming versions:

  • Rack-Awareness

  • SQL Offloading

  • Tracing

  • Service Grid

  • Write-Behind Caching
