    :Release notes for Tair minor versions

    最終更新日:Aug 13, 2024

    Alibaba Cloud releases new minor versions of Tair from time to time to provide more features, fix known issues, and improve user experience. This topic describes the release notes for minor versions of Tair.

    View or update the minor version of an instance

    You can view the current minor version of an instance in the Tair console. For information about the update operations and usage notes, see Update the minor version of an instance.

    Important

    • The system automatically detects the minor version of an instance. If the instance is of the latest minor version, the Minor Version Update button is not displayed or is dimmed.

    • Minor version updates may differ from region to region. The minor version of an instance displayed in the console prevails.

    • After you update the minor version of an instance, the instance information remains unchanged. The information includes the endpoints, data, whitelists, and existing accounts and their corresponding passwords.

    Introduction to Tair

    The rapid development of the Internet makes business scenarios more diverse and complex. To meet the changing requirements, Tair, as a high-availability and high-performance NoSQL database service, provides multiple series types of instances based on storage mediums such as DRAM, NVM, and ESSDs. These series types are developed to meet your requirements for low-latency access, data persistence, and reduced overall costs, and provide higher performance, more data structures, and more flexible storage methods. This helps you meet business requirements in different scenarios.

    Tair instance series are compatible with multiple open source Redis versions.

    Storage type

    Description

    DRAM-based instance

    Persistent memory-optimized instance

    • Offers ultra-high cost-effectiveness. The price of persistent memory-optimized instances is 30% lower than that of ApsaraDB for Redis Community Edition instances that have the same capacity. The performance of persistent memory-optimized instances reaches 90% of that of ApsaraDB for Redis Community Edition instances. For more information, see Performance white paper of persistent memory-optimized instances.

    • Supports enhanced data modules. These modules include exString (including commands that enhance Redis string functionality), exHash, and Cpc.

    • Prevents data loss caused by power failure. Persistent memory-optimized instances implement persistence for each command. The system returns a success response for each write operation only after the data is persistently stored. You can use persistent memory-optimized instances as in-memory databases instead of caches.

    ESSD/SSD-based instance

    • Reduced costs: ESSD/SSD-based instances reduce up to 85% of costs compared with ApsaraDB for Redis Community Edition instances.

    • High performance: An ESSD/SSD-based instance delivers approximately 60% of the performance of an ApsaraDB for Redis Community Edition instance. For more information, see Performance whitepaper of ESSD-based instances.

    • Storage in disks: ESSD/SSD-based instances store data in ESSDs or SSDs to ensure high data reliability. The capacity of an ESSD/SSD-based instance can reach hundreds of terabytes.

    • Data distribution: ESSD/SSD-based instances use the Alibaba Cloud TairDB storage engine and combine disks and memory to provide an optimal balance between data persistence and quick access to data.

    • High compatibility: ESSD/SSD-based instances are compatible with most data structures and commands of ApsaraDB for Redis Community Edition instances that run Redis 6.0.

    Update levels

    • LOW: regular updates. LOW-level updates include routine feature updates, such as adding a feature.

    • MEDIUM: recommended updates. MEDIUM-level updates include optimization of features and modules. LOW-level updates are also included in MEDIUM-level updates.

    • HIGH: major updates. HIGH-level updates include major updates that ensure stability or security, such as fixing a vulnerability or defect. LOW-level and MEDIUM-level updates are also included in HIGH-level updates.

    Fixed issue

    • The following issue is fixed: If the LIMIT option in the ZRANGEBYSCORE command is set to an excessively large value, an out of memory (OOM) error may occur due to the pre-allocation of a large amount of memory in the database.

    24.1.0.0

    MEDIUM

    2024-01-23

    Feature optimization

    • TairVector allows you to create inverted indexes for scalar data such as tag attributes, and provides the k-nearest neighbor (KNN) search feature. During retrieval, TairVector filters the dataset based on the scalar attributes and then applies the KNN algorithm for vector search on the filtered results.

    Fixed issue

    • The following issue is fixed: An instance may stop responding when the GETDEL command does not run as expected.

    • The following issue is fixed: The last-entry information is incorrect in the output of the XINFO STREAM command.

    1.1.7

    LOW

    2021-08-02

    New feature

    • The semi-synchronous replication mode is supported. By default, this mode is disabled.

      Note

      If this feature is enabled, logs are transmitted from a master node to a replica node after the data update that is initiated by the client is complete on the master node. After the replica node receives all logs, the master node returns the log transmission information to the client. If a replica node is unavailable or communication between a master node and a replica node is abnormal, semi-synchronous replication degrades to asynchronous replication.

    • In the output of the INFO command, the redis_version value is changed to 4.9.9 and the pena_version parameter is added to indicate the minor version.

    LOW

    2020-09-16

    First release

    Persistent memory-optimized instances of Tair provide in-memory database services based on Persistent Memory (PMEM). These instances are compatible with open source Redis and provide large capacity. These instances have the following advantages:

    • A persistent memory-optimized instance costs approximately 30% less than an ApsaraDB for Redis Community Edition instance.

    • In scenarios where advanced memory specifications are used, persistent memory-optimized instances resolve issues such as high latency, high network jitter, and slow service data loading during fork operations triggered by AOF rewrites. You do not need to choose between performance and persistence.

    • Persistent memory-optimized instances support command-level persistence. A response is returned after data persistence is completed for each write operation.

    • Persistent memory-optimized instances are compatible with most of the data structures and interfaces of open source Redis. The persistence of data structures except for STREAM is supported.
