AnalyticDB for MySQL:Release notes

Last Updated:Dec 15, 2023

This topic describes the release notes for AnalyticDB for MySQL and provides links to the relevant references.

Usage notes

Take note of the following items during minor version updates of AnalyticDB for MySQL:

  • For clusters in reserved mode for Cluster Edition or clusters in elastic mode that have 32 or more cores, data read and write operations are not interrupted while engine versions are being updated. Within the last 5 minutes before the update is complete, queries may encounter transient connections.

  • For clusters in elastic mode that have 8 or 16 cores, data write operations may be interrupted for 30 minutes while engine versions are being updated. Within the last 5 minutes before the update is complete, queries may encounter transient connections.

  • Cluster upgrades do not affect database access, account management, database management, or IP address whitelist settings.

  • During cluster upgrades, network jitters may occur and affect write and query operations. Make sure that your application is configured to automatically reconnect to the cluster.

  • During cluster upgrades, the cluster may encounter transient connections. Make sure that your application is configured to automatically reconnect to the cluster.

If you do not need to upgrade your cluster or an error occurs during the upgrade process, you can cancel the scheduled minor version update. Only scheduled events of the minor version update type can be canceled. For more information, see the "Cancel scheduled events" section of the Manage O&M events topic.

Warning

If the minor version of your AnalyticDB for MySQL cluster is earlier than the latest minor version, Alibaba Cloud pushes a notification in an irregular manner to inform you of updating your cluster to the latest minor version. Within six months after you receive the notification, we recommend that you update the minor version of your cluster at the earliest opportunity. Otherwise, you shall assume all liabilities for risks such as service interruptions and data loss.
