TiDB 7.5.1 Release Notes

Release date: February 29, 2024

TiDB version: 7.5.1

Quick access: Quick start | Production deployment

Compatibility changes

Improvements

  • TiDB

    • Use tikv_client_read_timeout during the DDL schema reload process to reduce the impact of Meta Region Leader read unavailability on the cluster #48124 @cfzjywxk

    • Enhance observability related to resource control #49318 @glorv @bufferflies @nolouch

      As more and more users use resource groups to isolate application workloads, Resource Control provides enhanced data based on resource groups. This helps you monitor resource group workloads and settings, ensuring that you can quickly identify and accurately diagnose problems, including:

      • Slow Queries: add the resource group name, resource unit (RU) consumption, and time for waiting for resources.
      • Statement Summary Tables: add the resource group name, RU consumption, and time for waiting for resources.
      • In the system variable tidb_last_query_info, add a new entry ru_consumption to indicate the consumed RU by SQL statements. You can use this variable to get the resource consumption of the last statement in the session.
      • Add database metrics based on resource groups: QPS/TPS, execution time (P999/P99/P95), number of failures, and number of connections.

    • Modify the CANCEL IMPORT JOB statement to a synchronous statement #48736 @D3Hunter

    • Support the FLASHBACK CLUSTER TO TSO syntax #48372 @BornChanger

    • Optimize the TiDB implementation when handling some type conversions and fix related issues #47945 #47864 #47829 #47816 @YangKeao @lcwangchao

    • When a non-binary collation is set and the query includes LIKE, the optimizer generates an IndexRangeScan to improve the execution efficiency #48181 #49138 @time-and-fate

    • Enhance the ability to convert OUTER JOIN to INNER JOIN in specific scenarios #49616 @qw4990

    • Support multiple accelerated ADD INDEX DDL tasks to be queued for execution, instead of falling back to normal ADD INDEX tasks #47758 @tangenta

    • Improve the speed of adding indexes to empty tables #49682 @zimulala

  • TiKV

    • Enhance the slow store detection algorithm by improving its sensitivity and reducing the false-positive rate, especially in intensive read and write load scenarios #15909 @LykxSassinator
