TiDB Operator 1.0.2 Release Notes

Release date: November 1, 2019

TiDB Operator version: 1.0.2

v1.0.2 What's New

Action Required

The AWS Terraform script uses auto-scaling-group for all components (PD/TiKV/TiDB/monitor). When an ec2 instance fails the health check, the instance will be replaced. This is helpful for those applications that are stateless or use EBS volumes to store data.

But a TiKV Pod uses instance store to store its data. When an instance is replaced, all the data on its store will be lost. TiKV has to resync all data to the newly added instance. Though TiDB is a distributed database and can work when a node fails, resyncing data can cost much if the dataset is large. Besides, the ec2 instance may be recovered to a healthy state by rebooting.

So we disabled the auto-scaling-group's replacing behavior in v1.0.2.

Auto-scaling-group scaling process can also be suspended according to its documentation if you are using v1.0.1 or prior versions.

Improvements

  • Suspend ReplaceUnhealthy process for AWS TiKV auto-scaling-group
  • Add a new VM manager qm in stability test
  • Add tikv.maxFailoverCount limit to TiKV
  • Set the default externalTrafficPolicy to be Local for TiDB service in AWS/GCP/Aliyun
  • Add provider and module versions for AWS

  • Fix compatibility issues by adding v1beta1 to statefulset apiVersions
  • Fix the issue that TiDB Loadbalancer is empty in Terraform output
  • Fix a compatibility issue of TiKV maxFailoverCount
  • Fix Terraform providers version constraint issues for GCP and Aliyun
  • Fix values file customization for tidb-operator on Aliyun
  • Fix tidb-operator crash when users modify statefulset upgrade strategy improperly
  • Fix drainer misconfiguration
