Upgrade Notes

  • This release cannot be run concurrently with older beta releases. Please stop all nodes running older releases before restarting any node with this version.

SQL Language Changes

  • The ALTER TABLE VALIDATE CONSTRAINT statement can now be used to validate foreign keys in the UNVALIDATED state. #12682
  • ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN can now drop columns that are involved in indexes. If the index includes columns other than the one being dropped, the CASCADE modifier is required. #12782

  • The information_schema.statistics.NON_UNIQUE field is now set correctly. #12793
  • It is now possible to use EXPLAIN statements as an input to other queries using a new square bracket syntax: SELECT MAX(level) FROM [EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM kv ORDER BY v]. #12637

Performance Improvements

  • The maximum allowable clock offset has been increased from 250ms to 500ms. #12821
