TiDB 3.0.4 Release Notes

Release date: October 8, 2019

TiDB version: 3.0.4

TiDB Ansible version: 3.0.4

  • New features

    • Add the performance_schema.events_statements_summary_by_digest system table to troubleshoot performance issues at the SQL level
    • Add the WHERE clause in TiDB’s SHOW TABLE REGIONS syntax
    • Add the worker-count and txn-batch configuration items in Reparo to control the recovery speed
  • Improvements

    • Support batch Region split command and empty split command in TiKV to improve split performance
    • Support double linked list for RocksDB in TiKV to improve performance of reverse scan
    • Add two perf tools iosnoop and funcslower in TiDB Ansible to better diagnose the cluster state
    • Optimize the output of slow query logs in TiDB by deleting redundant fields
  • Changed behaviors

    • Update the default value of txn-local-latches.enable to false to disable the default behavior of checking conflicts of local transactions in TiDB
    • Add the tidb_txn_mode system variable of global scope in TiDB and allow using the pessimistic lock; note that TiDB still adopts the optimistic lock by default
    • Replace the Index_ids field in TiDB slow query logs with Index_names to improve the usability of slow query logs
    • Add the split-region-max-num parameter in the TiDB configuration file to modify the maximum number of Regions allowed in the SPLIT TABLE syntax
    • Return the Out Of Memory Quota error instead of disconnecting the link when a SQL execution exceeds the memory limit
    • Disallow dropping the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute of columns in TiDB to avoid misoperations. To drop this attribute, change the tidb_allow_remove_auto_inc system variable
  • Fixed issues

    • Fix the issue that the uncommented TiDB-specific syntax PRE_SPLIT_REGIONS might cause errors in the downstream database during data replication
    • Fix the issue in TiDB that the slow query logs are incorrect when getting the result of PREPARE + EXECUTE by using the cursor
    • Fix the issue in PD that adjacent small Regions cannot be merged
    • Fix the issue in TiKV that file descriptor leak in idle clusters might cause TiKV processes to exit abnormally when the processes run for a long time
  • Contributors

    Our thanks go to the following contributors from the community for helping this release:

TiDB

  • SQL Optimizer
    • Fix the issue that invalid query ranges might be resulted when splitted by feedback #12170
    • Display the returned error of the SHOW STATS_BUCKETS statement in hexadecimal rather than return errors when the result contains invalid Keys #12094

    • Use index scan to lower IO when a query only concerns the number of columns rather than the table data #12112
    • Do not use any index when no index is specified in use index() to be compatible with MySQL #12100
    • Strictly limit the number of TopN records in the CMSketch statistics to fix the issue that the ANALYZE statement fails because the statement count exceeds TiDB’s limit on the size of a transaction #11914
    • Fix the error occurred when converting the subqueries contained in the Update statement #12483
    • Optimize execution performance of the select ... limit ... offset ... statement by pushing the Limit operator down to the IndexLookUpReader execution logic #12378

    • Support partition pruning when the UNIX_TIMESTAMP function is used to implement partitioning #12169
    • Fix the issue that no error is reported when AUTO_INCREMENT incorrectly allocates MAX int64 and MAX uint64 #12162
    • Add the WHERE clause in the SHOW TABLE … REGIONS and SHOW TABLE .. INDEX … REGIONS syntaxes #12123
    • Return the Out Of Memory Quota error instead of disconnecting the link when a SQL execution exceeds the memory limit #12127
    • Fix the issue that incorrect result is returned when JSON_UNQUOTE function handles JSON text #11955
    • Fix the issue that LAST INSERT ID is incorrect when assigning values to the AUTO_INCREMENT column in the first row (for example, insert into t (pk, c) values (1, 2), (NULL, 3)) #12002
    • Fix the issue that the GROUPBY parsing rule is incorrect in the PREPARE statement #12351
    • Fix the issue that the privilege check is incorrect in the point queries #12340

    • Fix the error occurred when not handling negative values as unsigned when inserting negative numbers into BIT type columns #12423
    • Fix the incorrectly rounding of time (for example, 2019-09-11 11:17:47.999999666 should be rounded to 2019-09-11 11:17:48.) #12258
    • Refine the usage of expression blocklist (for example, < is equivalent to It.) #11975
    • Add the database prefix to the message of non-existing function error (for example, [expression:1305]FUNCTION test.std_samp does not exist) #12111
  • Server
    • Add the Prev_stmt field in slow query logs to output the previous statement when the last statement is COMMIT #12180
