Aerospike Server Community Edition 5.7.0.17

Description

• For upgrading, or the unlikely event of downgrading, please refer to Special Upgrades.
• The Predicate Expression API is obsolete. The Aerospike Server and Client have scheduled removal with our next major Aerospike Server release. Use Aerospike Filter Expressions (added in version 5.2).
• The jobs info command is now officially deprecated and will continue to be supported through a deprecation period, after which it will be removed. jobs are now redundant with the new secondary index building methods and the following new info commands:
  • scan-show replaces scan-list.
  • query-show replaces query-list.
  • query-abort replaces query-kill.
• The configuration parameter batch-without-digests, now defaults to true, is deprecated and will be removed in six months. Customers using clients older than a year (around the time of Server 4.9 which introduced batch-without-digests) will now have to explicitly set the batch-without-digests configuration item to false.
• A number of Best Practices will be checked at startup. The Best Practices can be enforced by enabling the new enforce-best-practices configuration item.
• The security context configuration items enable-security and enable-ldap have been removed. The Server will not start if either enable-security or enable-ldap is present in the configuration file.
• Security will now be enabled simply by the presence of the security { } section in the configuration file. Similarly, LDAP will now be enabled simply by the presence of the ldap { } section within the security { } section of the configuration file.
• To use XDR with ACL auth-mode must be explicitly configured.
  • For more information please refer to: Securing with access control using PKI (versions 5.7+).
• We build on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 instead of CentOS 8 when creating rpm packages.
  • For more information please refer to: CentOS Linux EOL.
• Use Prometheus Exporter version 1.2.1 or later to run Prometheus Exporter with this version of Aerospike Server.
