on GitHub

Features and changes

YSQL

• Fixes OOM when using COPY <table> FROM <file> to load data from a large file to a table. #5453
• Enable 2DC replication bootstrap for YSQL tables. This allows the producer to know where to start replicating from. #5601
• Fix CREATE TABLE is 4-5x slower using Docker on Mac than not using Docker. Speeds up table creation by buffering writes to postgres system tables, caching pinned objects, and significantly reducing write RPC calls. #3503
• Roll back the catalog version made in commit 46f3701 so that 2.3 upgrades can proceed. #5408

Core database

• Quickly evict known unresponsive tablet servers from the tablet location cache. Applies only to follower reads. For example, when tablet servers are not replying to RPC calls or dead — not sending heartbeats to the master for 5 minutes. This could also happen after decommissioning nodes. #1052

Yugabyte Platform

• Add search input and data sorting to the on-premises instances table list. Click arrows next to column titles to sort. Use the Search form to search multiple columns. #4757
• Add the ability to change the user role (Admin, ReadOnly, or BackupAdmin) from the UI by an admin. Also, fix stale users list after creation or deletion of a user and disable Save buttons at Customer Profile tabs for ReadOnly users. #5311
• Before deleting a universe, stop the master/tserver processes and release the instance so that if started again, the processes are not still running. #4953

Note:

Prior to version 2.0, YSQL was still in beta. As a result, the 2.0 release included a backward-incompatible file format change for YSQL. If you have an existing cluster running releases earlier than 2.0 with YSQL enabled, then you will not be able to upgrade to version 2.0+. Export from your existing cluster and then import into a new cluster (v2.0 or later) to use existing data.
