TiDB 5.3.3 Release Note

Release date: September 14, 2022

TiDB version: 5.3.3

Bug fix

• TiKV

  • Fix the issue of continuous SQL execution errors in the cluster after the PD leader is switched or PD is restarted.

    • Cause: This issue is caused by a TiKV bug that TiKV does not retry sending heartbeat information to PD client after heartbeat requests fail, until TiKV reconnects to PD client. As a result, the Region information on the failed TiKV node becomes outdated, and TiDB cannot get the latest Region information, which causes SQL execution errors.

    • Affected versions: v5.3.2 and v5.4.2. This issue has been fixed in v5.3.3. If you are using v5.3.2, you can upgrade your cluster to v5.3.3.

    • Workaround: In addition to upgrade, you can also restart the TiKV nodes that cannot send Region heartbeat to PD, until there is no Region heartbeat to send.
