TiDB 7.1.4 Release Notes

Release date: March 11, 2024

TiDB version: 7.1.4

Quick access: Quick start | Production deployment

Compatibility changes

  • To reduce the overhead of log printing, TiFlash changes the default value of logger.level from "debug" to "info" #8641 @JaySon-Huang
  • Introduce the TiKV configuration item gc.num-threads to set the number of GC threads when enable-compaction-filter is false #16101 @tonyxuqqi

Improvements

  • TiDB

    • Enhance the ability to convert OUTER JOIN to INNER JOIN in specific scenarios #49616 @qw4990
    • When force-init-stats is set to true, TiDB waits for statistics initialization to finish before providing services during TiDB startup. This setting no longer blocks the startup of HTTP servers, which enables users to continue monitoring #50854 @hawkingrei

  • TiKV

    • When TiKV detects the existence of corrupted SST files, it logs the specific reasons for the corruption #16308 @overvenus

  • PD

    • Improve the speed of PD automatically updating cluster status when the backup cluster is disconnected #6883 @disksing

  • TiFlash

    • Reduce the impact of background GC tasks on read and write task latency #8650 @JaySon-Huang
    • Reduce the impact of disk performance jitter on read latency #8583 @JaySon-Huang
