TiDB Operator 1.3.0-beta.1 Release Notes

Release date: January 12, 2022

TiDB Operator version: 1.3.0-beta.1

Compatibility Change

  • Due to changes in #4209, if Webhook is deployed, and ValidatingWebhook and MutatingWebhook of Pods are enabled with TiDB Operator v1.2 or earlier versions, upgrading TiDB Operator to v1.3.0-beta.1 will cause ValidatingWebhook and MutatingWebhook to be deleted. But this has no impact on TiDB cluster management.

  • Due to changes in #4151, if you deploy v1 CRD, TiDB Operator >= v1.3.0-beta.1 sets the default baseImage field of all components. If you set the component image using the image field instead of the baseImage field, upgrading TiDB Operator to v1.3.0-beta.1 will change the image in use, cause the TiDB cluster to rolling update or even fail to run. To avoid such situations, you must upgrade TiDB Operator by the following steps:

    1. Use the baseImage and version fields to replace the image field. For details, refer to Configure TiDB deployment.
    2. Upgrade TiDB Operator.
  • Due to the issue in #4434, if you upgrade TiFlash to v5.4.0 or later when using v1.3.0-beta.1 TiDB Operator, TiFlash might lose metadata and not work. If TiFlash is deployed in your cluster, it is recommended that you upgrade TiDB Operator to v1.3.1 or later versions before upgrading TiFlash.

  • Due to the issue in #4435, when using TiDB Operator v1.3.0-beta.1, you must set the tmp_path field in TiFlash's config to use TiFlash v5.4.0 or later versions. It is recommended that you upgrade TiDB Operator to v1.3.1 or later versions before you deploy TiFlash.

Rolling Update Changes

  • Due to changes in #4358, if the TiDB cluster (>= v5.4) is deployed by TiDB Operator v1.2, upgrading TiDB Operator to v1.3.0-beta.1 causes TiFlash to rolling upgrade. It is recommended to upgrade TiDB Operator to v1.3 before upgrading the TiDB cluster to v5.4.0 or later versions.
  • Due to changes in #4169 , for TiDB clusters >= v5.0, if spec.tikv.seperateRocksDBLog: true or spec.tikv.separateRaftLog: true is configured, upgrading TiDB Operator to v1.3.0-beta.1 causes TiKV to rolling upgrade.
  • Due to changes in #4198, upgrading TiDB Operator causes the recreation of TidbMonitor Pod.

New Features

Improvements

  • Remove and change some default configurations for TiFlash due to configuration changes in TiFlash v5.4.0. If the TiDB cluster (>= v5.4) is deployed by TiDB Operator v1.2, upgrading TiDB Operator to v1.3.0-beta.1 causes TiFlash to rolling upgrade. (#4358, @KanShiori)
  • Improve advanced deployment example of TidbMonitor. (#4242, @mianhk)
  • Optimize the user experience of heterogenous clusters by displaying the metrics for one TiDB cluster and its heterogeneous clusters in the same dashboards. (#4210, @mikechengwei)
  • Use secretRef to obtain Grafana password in TidbMonitor to avoid using plaintext password. (#4135, @mianhk)
  • Optimize the upgrade process for PD and TiKV components with fewer than two replicas, and force the upgrade of PD and TiKV components by default to avoid the upgrade process from taking too long (#4107, #4091, @mianhk)
  • Update Grafana images in examples to 7.5.11 to enhance security (#4212, @makocchi-git)
  • Deprecate Pod validating and mutating webhook (#4209, @mianhk)
  • Support configuring the number of tidb-controller-manager workers in Helm chart (#4111, @mianhk)
