Upgrading
Read the migration guide for specific instructions on upgrading from older versions.
Notable changes:
This release is focused on bug fixes to the scraping service:
- In scraping service mode, the polling configuration refresh should honor timeout. (@mattdurham)
- In scraping service mode, the lifecycle reshard should happen using a goroutine. (@mattdurham)
- In scraping service mode, scraping service can deadlock when reloading during join. (@mattdurham)
- Scraping service: prevent more than one refresh from being queued at a time. (@rfratto)
These changes should help prevent a spike of failed reshards while nodes are joining and leaving the cluster.
For the full list of changes, please refer to the CHANGELOG.
