0.14.1-incubating release notes

[clintropolis]

Apache Druid 0.14.1-incubating is a small patch release that includes a handful of bug and documentation fixes from 16 contributors.

Important Notice

This release fixes an issue with druid-datasketches extension with quantile sketches, but introduces another one with theta sketches that was confirmed after the release was finalized, caused by #7320 and described in #7607. If you utilize theta sketches, we recommend not upgrading to this release. This will be fixed in the next release of Druid by #7619.

Updating from 0.14.0-incubating and earlier

Kafka Ingestion

Updating from version 0.13.0-incubating or earlier directly to 0.14.1-incubating will not require downtime like the migration path to 0.14.0-incubating due to the issue described in #6958, which has been fixed for this release in #7212. Likewise, rolling updates from version 0.13.0-incubating and earlier should also work properly due to #7512.

Native Parallel Ingestion

Updating from 0.13.0-incubating directly to 0.14.1-incubating will not encounter any issues during a rolling update with mixed versions of middle managers due to the fixes in #7520, as could be experienced when updating to 0.14.0-incubating.

Apache Druid (incubating) is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

Hi, @clintropolis . Have we ignored a lot of code contributors? This will make Apache Druid look like the illusion that activity is drastically reduced.

I think you're comparing the wrong branches, 0.14.1 was a very small release with only ~20 commits backported from master into 0.14.0. You should be comparing 0.14.1 to 0.14.0:

which slightly undercounts contributors compared to the release notes. This list is sourced from a script, docs/_bin/get-milestone-contributors.py which uses the github api to collect authors attached to a milestone.

@clintropolis Okay, I got it wrong, sorry. 😅
