Python 2.7.x and 3.6+ are supported for cqlsh. (DB-4151)

Fixed the NullPointerException issue described in CASSANDRA-14200: NPE when dumping sstable with null value for timestamp column. (DB-4512)

Fixed an issue that was causing excessive contention during encryption/decryption operations. The fix resulted in an encryption/decryption performance improvement. (DB-4419)

Fixed the problem with unrepairable digest mismatch between nodes running DSE 5.0.x and DSE 5.1+ (during upgrade) where the query includes a subset of columns. (DB-4399)

Fixed a problem where a partial 5.0 -> 5.1 upgrade can cause excessive read repairs and digest mismatches. (DB-4511)

Fixed a CVE-2019-20444 issue in which HttpObjectDecoder.java in Netty, before 4.1.44, allowed an HTTP header that lacked a colon. (DB-4068)

A new configuration option in cassandra.yaml was added: snapshot_before_dropping_column which is false by default. When enabled, every time the user drops a column/columns from a table, a snapshot is created on each node in the cluster before the change in schema is applied. Those snapshots have the same name on each node - for example -auto-snapshot_drop-column-columnname_20200515143511000 - it includes the name of the dropped column and the timestamp (UTC) when the column was dropped (DB-2690)

Fixed an issue where the bloom filter false-positive rate calculation did not properly take into account true negatives, meaning cases where read operations were attempted on non-existing rows. (DB-3246)

Fixed an issue to prevent an unbounded number of flushing tasks for memtables that are almost empty. (DB-4376)

Global BloomFilterFalseRatio is now calculated in the same way as table BloomFilterFalseRatio. Now both types of metrics include true negatives, the formula is ratio = falsePositiveCount / (truePositiveCount + falsePositiveCount + trueNegativeCount) (DB-4439)

Added entries to jvm.options to assist with capturing thread dumps. (DSP-20778)

The frequency of range queries performed by lease manager is now configurable via dse.lease.refresh.interval.seconds system property, JMX and the dsetool command. (DSP-20696)

Fixed a problem related to digest calculation when static column values are null. (DSP-21033)

Fixed memory leak occurring when disk_access_mode: standard is set and sstables use compression (DSP-21039)

Systemd units are included for DSE packages for CentOS and compatible OSes. (DSP-7603)

LDAP servers can handle multiple, comma separated addresses, with or without a port. If the port is not provided, the port parameter will be used (as a default). This way, there is no change in configuration for existing users who have LDAP configured. (DSP-13086)

Systemd units are now included for CentOS 7 and other compatible OSes. (DSP-19056)

ldap_options_server_host in dse.yaml now handles mutiple, comma separated LDAP server addresses. (DSP-20833)

Recording a slow CQL query to the log no longer blocks the thread. (DSP-20894)

Jackson Databind upgraded to 2.9.10.4 (DSP-20981)

Security updates:

Fixed IllegalArgumentException: requirement failed: input refCnt must be > 0 when writing from Spark to DSEFS (DSP-21047)

Backported fix DSP-15762: optimize remove-recursive implementation (to lower the tombstone impact on Spark jobs). (DSP-20750)

Fixed an issue where an excessive number of connections are created to port 5599 when using DSEFS. (DSP-21021)

Fixed a bug where the incorrect rack name could be reported to metrics collector. (DSP-21081)

See notes in TP-CHANGES.txt (DSP-21066)

Significantly reduced the time to (re)load encrypted search cores. (DSP-20692)

Search-related latency metrics now decay in time like other metrics. Named queries (using query.name parameter) now have separate latency metrics. New mbean atributes are available for search latency metrics: TotalLatency (us), Min, Max, Mean, StdDev, DurationUnit, MeanRate, OneMinuteRate, FiveMinuteRate, FifteenMinuteRate, RateUnit, 98th, 999th. (DSP-19612)

Fixed some security vulnerabilities for Solr HTTP REST API when authorization is enabled. Now, users with no appropriate permissions can perform search operations. Resources can be deleted when authorization is enabled, given the correct permissions. (DSP-20749)

Fixed a bug where a decryption block cache occasionally was not operational (SOLR-14498). (DSP-20987)

Fixed an issue where, after an LCM upgrade from DSE 6.8.0 to 6.8.1, the Solr http API was broken either through curl or the Solr UI. (DSP-21115)

Fixed a bug where after several months of up time an encrypted index wouldn’t accept more writes unless the core is reloaded. (DSP-21234)

Enhanced usability on search index creation operations run with dsetool and CQL commands. Command completion feedback now confirms operation scope and provides guidance on additional required actions. (DSP-17994)

The Solr timeAllowed option in queries is now enforced by default to prevent long-running shard queries. This change prevents complex facets and boolean queries from using system resources after the DSE Search coordinator considers the queries to have timed out. For all queries, the default for the timeAllowed value uses the value of client_request_timeout_seconds setting in dse.yaml. (DSP-19781, DSP-19790)

Fixed an issue where T values get hidden by property keys of the same name in valueMap(). (DSP-19261)

Unbounded facet searches are no longer allowed. (DSP-18693)

Improved troubleshooting. A log entry is now created when autocompaction is disabled or enabled for a table. (DB-1635)

Reformatted StatusLogger output to reduce details in the INFO level system.log. The detailed output is still present in the debug.log. (DB-2552)

Prevent changing the replication strategy of system keyspaces. (DB-2960)

New nodetool commands to get current values: getcachecapacity, getcachekeystosave, and gethintedhandoffthrottlekb. (DB-3618)

New options to select cipher suite and protocol to configure KMIP encryption when connecting to a KMIP server. (DSP-17294)

Upgrade Jackson Databind to address CVE-2018-11307 and CVE-2018-19361. (DB-2911, DSP-18099, DSP-19319)

If types do not allow docValues, validation error does not get returned when docValues are applied. (DSP-16884)

While using live indexing, also known as RT or real-time indexing, a race condition can be triggered when concurrently indexing and running heavy facet queries. The race condition fails an assertion that, in turn, fails searcher opening and leaves the index in an inconsistent state. (DSP-18786)

When driver uses paging, CQL query fails when using a Solr index to query with a sort on a field that contains the primary key name in the field: InvalidRequest: Error from server: code=2200 [Invalid query] message="Cursor functionality requires a sort containing a uniqueKey field tie breaker". (DSP-19210)

General upgrading advice for any version and new features for Apache Cassandra are in NEWS.txt. Be sure to read the NEWS.txt all the way back to your current version.

See also the Apache Cassandra changes in CHANGES.txt.

Upgrades from DSE 5.0 might have produced unnecessary schema migrations while there was at least one DSE 5.0 node in the cluster. It is therefore highly recommended to upgrade from DSE 5.0 to at least DSE 5.1.6. The root cause of this schema mismatch was a difference in the way how schema digests were computed in DSE 5.0 and DSE 5.1. To mitigate this issue, DSE 5.1.6 and newer announce DSE 5.0 compatible digests as long as there is at least one DSE 5.0 node in the cluster. Once all nodes have been upgraded, the "real" schema version is announced.

DSE is now relying on the JVM options to properly shutdown on OutOfMemoryError. By default it relies on the OnOutOfMemoryError option as the ExitOnOutOfMemoryError and CrashOnOutOfMemoryError options are not supported by the older 1.7 and 1.8 JVMs. A warning is logged at startup if none of those JVM options are used. See CASSANDRA-13006 for more details

Improved gossip settling added. On startup DSE waits till all nodes are seen before fully joining the cluster. This improves latency spikes when restarting nodes.

TotalHintsReplayed: how many hints were successfully replayed on the target node.

HintsOnDisk: how many hints are currently persistent on disk on this node. Metric is updated for the amount of hints contained in the hints file when hints file is written or removed. Values is restored on node startup.

Statistics file component was added to Hint Store in order to provide information about amount of hints contained in the hints file without replaying it. Stats component is completely backward-compatible; hint files without this component are not counted. All new hint files are created with this component. See DB-853 for more details.

Improved error messages when no target datacenter provided for Spark application. (DSP-13236)

Decrease logging level for RPC methods failures. (DSP-13282)

JoinWithCassandra and SaveToCassandra blocked on adding to requests to the async execute pool. (DSP-14178)

Expand DSEFS repair capability. DSEFS fsck checks if data blocks exist on the remote node that claims to have them. Mixed versions during upgrades are not supported. Upgrade all nodes in the cluster before using DSEFS fsck. (DSP-13081)

DSEFS read performance is improved. (DSP-13309)

Launch DSEFS shell with precedence given to the specified hosts. (DSP-14108)

Connection reuse is improved. Closing idle connections is disabled by default. New idle_connection_timeout_ms option in dse.yaml defines how long to wait before an idle client-server connection is closed. (DSP-14010)

Protocol change improves efficiency of passing JSON arrays between DSEFS server and client. Mixed versions during upgrades are not supported. Upgrade all nodes in the cluster before using the DSEFS shell. (DSP-14107)

DataStax installer does not set up DSEFS correctly for No Services installations. (DSP-13473)

NullPointerException: Unexpected null value of column valid_from in <dse keyspace>.inodes while running fsck. (DSP-12615)

Memory leak occurs with incorrect use of WebHDFS API. (DSP-13813)

Incorrect FileNotFound errors when using Spark with DSEFS. (DSP-14105)

Improved and simplified data batch loading of pre-formatted data. (DGL-235)

Schema discovery and schema generation are deprecated. (DGL-246)

Graph custom id support for multiple keyed vertices. (DGL-258)

Query engine significantly improved to allow more queries to be satisfied by using indexes. In particular, AND and OR queries are now handled and translate transparently to multiple backend queries or, if possible, single search queries. (DSP-11534)

Allow for indexes to be used with ORDER BY clause. (DSP-11931)

Checking for edge connectedness no longer performs an unnecessary backend query. (DSP-12863)

Edge queries using between predicate now use an index, if available. (DSP-13541)

Improved support for domain-specific languages (DSL) in Gremlin enables the DataStax driver to specify TraversalSource. (DSP-13545)

cache=false at the transaction level now includes disabling AdjacencyListStoreImpl and IndexStoreImpl. (DSP-13560)

Vertices without multi-properties fetch all properties in a single query, rather than requesting properties one at a time. Using multi-properties as vertices is not recommended, because multiple cardinality (multi-properties) are retrieved in graph traversals more slowly than single cardinality properties. Vertices with multi-properties default to the previous behavior of requesting properties individually. (DSP-13646)

More Gremlin APIs are supported in DSEGraphFrames: dedup, sort, limit, filter, + as()/select(), or(). (DSP-13649)

Do partition deletes for the property/edge table entries if possible. (DSP-13671)

Timeouts for graph traversals now start from the time the request is received. Earlier releases started timeouts for graph traversals at processing start time. Timeouts appear more readily on an overloaded server. (DSP-13828)

Numeric sack values no longer need to be explicitly typed (for example, 3.0D). You can still provide for greater specificity in the expected return type. (DSP-14026)

Lambdas provided to the sack() step are now recognized by the LambdaRestrictionStrategy. You must disable the restrict_lambda setting to call this method. (DSP-14118)

Support user-supplied IDs for edges and properties. ID must be Java UUID. (DSP-12932)

-help prints help twice. (DGL-257)

DGL prints warning excessively. (DGL-262)

Graph frames error if meta-property is not populated. (DSP-13063)

Gremlin server log directory setting doesn’t work if default log location is moved. Use dse-env.sh to change log locations. (DSP-13508)

DseGraphFrame throws UnsupportedOperationException for graph with empty schema. (DSP-13858)

DseGraphRpc.getSchemaBlob should request EXECUTE permissions instead of SELECT. (DSP-13888)

Single cardinality edge updates work incorrectly. (DSP-14185)

DseGraphFrames.updateVertices() requires unnecessary ID columns. (DSP-14175)

The within predicate is not working for unindexed edges. (DSP-13209)

OffheapPostings is present by default in demo and auto-generated solrconfig.xml files. (DSP-10088)

The default filter cache settings are changed. (DSP-13153)

Streamlined autoSolrConfig.xml template for auto-generated search indexes. CQL ALTER SEARCH INDEX CONFIG, ALTER SEARCH INDEX Schema, and CREATE SEARCH INDEX shortcuts for TieredMergePolicyFactory. (DSP-13229)

DeleteById is deprecated. (DSP-13988)

Extend TieredMergePolicy to support automatic removal of deletes. (DSP-13626)

DSE Search indexing optimizes for SSDs by default. Spinning disk detection logic is removed. (DSP-13924)

Improved error messages on invalid solr_query are more descriptive for invalid queries and syntax errors. (DSP-14003)

Shard request exceptions are not logged at the replica level. (DSP-12691)

Unnecessary double segment flushing on hard commit. (DSP-13971)

Reintroduce provisioning/dropping states for backward compatibility. Issue a warning when a graph is found. (DSP-14111)

Search permissions cannot be managed on non-search nodes in the cluster. (DSP-14242)

Possible data loss when using DSE Tiered Storage. (DB-3404)

DataStax Enterprise does not run with Java 1.8u161 or later. (DSP-15277)
