Full Changelog: CLI_2.5.0...CLI_2.6.0

YDB Server 23.2.12

Functionality:

• (Experimental) Implemented visibility of own changes. With this feature enabled you can read changed values from the current transaction, which has not been committed yet. This functionality also allows multiple modifying operations in one transaction on a table with secondary indexes. To enable this feature add enable_kqp_immediate_effects: true under table_service_config section into configuration file.
• (Experimental) Implemented read iterators. This feature allows to separate reads and computations. Read iterators allow datashards to increase read queries throughput. To enable this feature add enable_kqp_data_query_source_read: true under table_service_config section into configuration file.

Embedded UI:

• Navigation improvements:
  • Diagnostics and Development mode switches are moved to the left panel.
  • Every page has breadcrumbs.
  • Storage groups and nodes info are moved from left buttons to tabs on the database page.
• Query history and saved queries are moved to tabs over the text editor area in query editor.
• Info tab for scheme objects displays parameters using terms from CREATE or ALTER statements.
• Added column tables support.

Performance:

• For scan queries, you can now effectively search for individual rows using a primary key or secondary indexes. This can bring you a substantial performance gain in many cases. Similarly to regular queries, you need to explicitly specify its name in the query text using the VIEW keyword to use a secondary index.
• (Experimental) Added an option to give control of the system tablets of the database (SchemeShard, Coordinators, Mediators, SysViewProcessor) to its own Hive instead of the root Hive, and do so immediately upon creating a new database. Without this flag, the system tablets of the new database are created in the root Hive, which can negatively impact its load. Enabling this flag makes databases completely isolated in terms of load, that may be particularly relevant for installations, consisting from a roughly hundred or more databases. To enable this feature add alter_database_create_hive_first: true under feature_flags section into configuration file.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug in the autoconfiguration of the actor system, resulting in all the load being placed on the system pool.
• Fixed a bug that caused full scanning when searching by prefix of the primary key using LIKE.
• Fixed bugs when interacting with datashard followers.
• Fixed bugs when working with memory in column tables.
• Fixed a bug in processing conditions for immediate transactions.
• Fixed a bug in the operation of iterator-based reads on datasharrd followers.
• Fixed a bug that caused cascading reinstallation of data delivery sessions to asynchronous indexes.
• Fixed bugs in the optimizer for scanning queries.
• Fixed a bug in the incorrect calculation of storage consumption by Hive after expanding the database.
• Fixed a bug that caused operations to hang on non-existent iterators.
• Fixed bugs when reading a range on a NOT NULL column.
• Fixed a bug in the replication of VDisks.
• Fixed a bug in the work of the run_interval option in TTL.

Full Changelog: 23.1.26...23.2.12

YDB CLI 2.5.0

Released on June 20, 2023. To update to version 2.5.0, select the Downloads section.

Features

• For the ydb import file command, a parameter --timeout has been added that specifies the time within which the operation should be performed on the server.
• Added a progress bar in commands ydb scheme rmdir --recursive and ydb import file.
• Added the command ydb workload kv run read-rows, which loads the database with requests to read rows using a new experimental API call ReadRows (implemented only in the main branch), which performs faster key reading than select.
• New parameters --warmup-time, --percentile, --topic have been added to the ydb workload topic, setting the test warm-up time, the percentile in the statistics output and the topic name, respectively.
• Added the ydb workload tpch command to run the TPC-H benchmark.
• Added the --ordered flag in the command ydb tools dump, which preserves the order by primary key in tables.

Performance

• The data loading speed in the ydb import file command has been increased by adding parallel loading. The number of threads is set by the new parameter --threads.
• A performance of the ydb import file json command has been increased by reducing the number of data copies.

Full Changelog: CLI_2.4.0...CLI_2.5.0

YDB CLI 2.4.0

Released on May 24, 2023. To update to version 2.4.0, select the Downloads section.

Features

• Added the ability to upload multiple files in parallel with the command ydb import file.
• Added support for deleting column tables for the command ydb scheme rmdir --recursive.
• Improved stability of the command ydb workload topic.

Full Changelog: CLI_2.3.0...CLI_2.4.0

YDB Server 23.1.26

Functionality:

• Added initial table scan when creating a CDC changefeed. Now, you can export all the data existing at the time of changefeed creation.
• Added atomic index replacement. Now, you can atomically replace one pre-defined index with another. This operation is absolutely transparent for your application. Indexes are replaced seamlessly, with no downtime.
• Added the audit log: Event stream including data about all the operations on YDB objects.

Performance:

• Improved formats of data exchanged between query stages. As a result, we accelerated SELECTs by 10% on parameterized queries and by up to 30% on write operations.
• Added autoconfiguring for the actor system pools based on the workload against them. This improves performance through more effective CPU sharing.
• Optimized the predicate logic: Processing of parameterized OR or IN constraints is automatically delegated to DataShard.
• (Experimental) For scan queries, you can now effectively search for individual rows using a primary key or secondary indexes. This can bring you a substantial gain in performance in many cases. Similarly to regular queries, to use a secondary index, you need to explicitly specify its name in the query text using the VIEW keyword.
• The query's computational graph is now cached at query runtime, reducing the CPU resources needed to build the graph.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed bugs in the distributed data warehouse implementation. We strongly recommend all our users to upgrade to the latest version.
• Fixed the error that occurred on building an index on NOT NULL columns.
• Fixed statistics calculation with MVCC enabled.
• Fixed errors with backups.
• Fixed the race condition that occurred at splitting and deleting a table with SDC.

YDB CLI 2.3.0

Released on May 5, 2023. To update to version 2.3.0, select the Downloads section.

What's new:

• Added interactive query execution mode. It can be launched using ydb yql command without arguments. This mode is experimental and is a subject to change.
• Added ydb table index rename command for atomic secondary index replacement or renaming.
• Added ydb workload topic command section that allows to run a workload of writes and reads to topics.
• Added --recursive option for ydb scheme rmdir command that allows to remove a directory recursively with all its content.
• Added topic and coordination node support for ydb scheme describe command.
• Added --commit option for ydb topic consumer command to commit offset for consumer.
• Added --columns option for ydb import file csv|tsv command to list column names in, instead of placing it into file header.
• Added --newline-delimited option for ydb import file csv|tsv command that confirms that there is no newline characters inside records which allows to read from several sections of a file simultaneously.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug that caused executing the ydb import file command to consume too much memory and CPU.
