Version 5.8.4¶

Released on 2024-10-07.

Note

If you are upgrading a cluster, you must be running CrateDB 4.0.2 or higher before you upgrade to 5.8.4.

We recommend that you upgrade to the latest 5.7 release before moving to 5.8.4.

A rolling upgrade from 5.7.x to 5.8.4 is supported.

Before upgrading, you should back up your data.

Warning

Tables that were created before CrateDB 4.x will not function with 5.x and must be recreated before moving to 5.x.x.

You can recreate tables using COPY TO and COPY FROM or by inserting the data into a new table.

See the Version 5.8.0 release notes for a full list of changes in the 5.8 series.

Fixes ¶

Fixed an issue that could lead to nodes crashing with out of memory errors when running INSERT INTO ... (SELECT ...) statements with large payloads of type OBJECT.
Fixed an issue that caused an error or wrong results when a table function was combined with a UNION ALL in a sub-query e.g.:
```
SELECT a FROM (SELECT a, b FROM tbl UNION ALL SELECT 3 AS a, 3 AS b) t;
```
Fixed an issue that caused wrong results when ordering by an IP field or when comparing values of IP type, e.g.:
```
SELECT * FROM tbl ORDER BY ip_col;
SELECT ip_col > '11.22.33.44' FROM tbl;
```

Fixed an issue that caused WHERE clause to wrongly filter out whole partitions when there is a NOT wrapping IS NULL or a complex expression:

CREATE TABLE tbl(a STRING, b STRING) PARTITIONED BY (a);
SELECT * FROM tbl
WHERE NOT (
    CASE t1.c0
        WHEN '' THEN TRUE
        WHEN 'E' THEN ((t1.c1) IS NOT NULL)
        ELSE t1.c0 > 'a'
    END)

Fixed an issue that caused numeric values inside of OBJECT (IGNORED) columns to be returned as text instead of number.
Fixed an issue causing an object column definition with duplicate child column names to be accepted (last definition was used) instead of throwing an error. E.g.:
```
CREATE TABLE tbl (obj OBJECT AS (a BOOLEAN, a INTEGER));
```
Fixed an issue that caused filtering by ANY operator on an array typed column under an explicit cast to return invalid results.
Fixed an issue that caused filtering by ALL operator on REAL array columns against literals to return invalid results.
Fixed an issue that caused = or != ANY operator to throw a ClassCastException when the right hand side argument was more than 1 dimensions higher than the left hand side argument.
Fixed an issue that caused ANY operator to throw a ClassCastException when the arguments were nested arrays.
Fixed an issue that caused cast to NUMERIC to return incorrect results, with missing scale. This issue has only affected multi-node cluster installations.
Fixed an integer overflow issue when the total shards (shards and replicas) configured for a table are greater than Integer.MAX_VALUE.
Fixed an issue that caused in operator with array typed column on left hand side of the arguments to return invalid results.
Fixed an issue which may cause a EXPLAIN ANALYZE to throw exception due to internal concurrent unsafe access.
Fixed an issue causing a role to loose it’s concrete privileges once it gets granted another role using the GRANT role TO role statement.
