TiDB 4.0 RC.2 Release Notes

Release date: May 15, 2020

TiDB version: 4.0.0-rc.2

Compatibility Changes

  • TiDB

    • Remove the size limit for a single transaction (100 MB) when TiDB Binlog is enabled. Now the size limit for a transaction is 10 GB. However, if TiDB Binlog is enabled and the downstream is Kafka, configure the txn-total-size-limit parameter according to the message size limit of 1 GB in Kafka #16941
    • Change the behavior from querying the default time range to returning an error and requesting a specified time range if the time range is not specified when querying the CLUSTER_LOG table #17003
    • If the unsupported sub-partition or linear hash option is specified when creating the partitioned table using the CREATE TABLE statement, the normal table is created rather than the partitioned table with the options ignored #17197
  • TiKV

    • Move the encryption-related configuration to the security-related configuration, which means changing [encryption] in the TiKV configuration file to [security.encryption] #7810
  • Tools

    • TiDB Lightning

      • Change the default SQL mode to ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER when importing data to improve compatibility #316
      • Disallow accessing the PD or TiKV port in the tidb-backend mode #312
      • Print the log information to the tmp file by default, and print the path of the tmp file when TiDB Lightning is started #313
