Bug fixes and updates.

Deprecation

Items that have been deprecated and may be removed in a future release.

  • The QUERY_COORDINATOR environment variable is deprecated. To control whether a node should be allowed to be a query coordinator, use the query node task instead. Node tasks can be assigned and unassigned at runtime using the assignTasks() and unassignTasks() GraphQL mutations respectively, or controlled using the INITIAL_DISABLED_NODE_TASKS environment variable.

    For more information, see INITIAL_DISABLED_NODE_TASKS.

  • The lastScheduledSearch field from the ScheduledSearch datatype is now deprecated and planned for removal in LogScale version 1.202. The new lastExecuted and lastTriggered fields have been added to the ScheduledSearch datatype to replace lastScheduledSearch.

  • The deprecated JDK-less server.tar.gz tarball release is no longer being published. Users should switch to either server-linux_x64.tar.gz or server-alpine_x64.tar.gz depending on their operating system.

Behavior Changes

Scripts or environment which make use of these tools should be checked and updated for the new configuration:

  • Storage

    • LogScale now avoids moving mini-segments to follow the digest nodes if the mini-segments are available in Bucket Storage. Instead, mini-segments will now be fetched as needed, when the digest leader is ready to merge them. This reduces the load on Global Database in some cases following a digest reassignment.

    • During digest reassignment, LogScale will now ignore mini-segments in Bucket Storage when deciding whether to switch merge targets because some mini-segments are not present locally. This should slightly reduce the load on Global Database during digest reassignment.

    • Allow live query updates to run on a new thread pool digestLive, but only for datasources that spend more time on these updates than allowed in the digester pool on live queries, or for many datasources, if their total load exceeds time available for digesters. This frees up time for the digesters, provided there is available CPU on the node.

    • LogScale now avoids moving merge targets to the digest leader during digest reassignment if those segments are already in Bucket Storage.

New features and improvements

  • GraphQL API

    • Field aliases now have API support for being exported and imported as YAML.

Fixed in this release

  • Dashboards and Widgets

    • Newline characters would not be escaped in the dashboard parameter input field, thus appearing as not being part of the value. This issue has now been fixed.

  • Queries

    • Stopping queries that use early stopping criteria were wrongly reported as Cancelled instead of Done. The query status has now been fixed.

  • Other

    • Off-heap memory limiting might not apply correctly.

Known Issues

  • Queries

    • A known issue in the implementation of the match() function when using cidr option in the mode parameter, could cause a reduction in performance for the query, and block other queries from executing.

Improvement

  • Ingestion

    • Data ingest rate monitoring has been adjusted to ensure it reports from nodes across all node roles. Additionally, the number of nodes reporting in large clusters has been raised.

  • Queries

    • Some internal improvements have been made to query coordination to make it more robust in certain cases — in particular with failing queries — with an impact on the timing of some API responses.
