Release notes for the Lindorm search engine - Lindorm - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Alibaba Cloud releases LindormSearch versions for Lindorm to provide new features, fix known bugs, and improve user experience. This topic describes the release notes of LindormSearch versions. This topic also provides usage notes on how to upgrade the LindormSearch version of your Lindorm instance during off-peak hours.

View or upgrade the LindormSearch version of a Lindorm instance

You can view the LindormSearch version of an instance in the Lindorm console. For more information about how to upgrade the LindormSearch version and usage notes, see Minor version update. 查看版本

Warning

During a version upgrade, a rolling restart is performed on all LindormSearch nodes. During the restart process, index shards are automatically moved to available nodes. Therefore, slight jitters may occur when applications access LindormSearch. We recommend that you upgrade the version during off-peak hours.
If only one LindormSearch node is available, LindormSearch be unavailable for applications to access during the upgrade. To ensures service availability, we recommend that you add LindormSearch nodes before you upgrade LindormSearch.
The system automatically checks the LindormSearch version of the instance. If the Upgrade Minor Version button is not displayed, the instance is already running the latest version.
Version updates may differ from region to region. The LindormSearch version displayed in the Lindorm console prevails.
