Release 4.5.8

  • Fix: Memory leak in subscription query registrations

  • Fix: Different error code and message when context not available or context does not exist during client connect Axon Server now returns error code AXONIQ-1302 if the client requests a connection for an unknown context. If the context is not active Axon Server returns AXONIQ-1400.

Release 4.5.7

  • Fix: Improve loading aggregate events performance for clients connected to a follower

  • Fix for contexts not starting when some contexts are using BLOOM_FILTER_INDEX and others are using JUMP_SKIP_INDEX.

Release 4.5.4

  • Fix: Clients should not connect to a node that is unable to contact other nodes in the cluster If a client requests a connection from an isolated Axon Server node, Axon Server rejects the connection, and the client requests a connection from another node. If a client has a connection to an Axon Server node, and the node loses the connection to the other Axon Server nodes in the cluster, Axon Server will disconnect the client. The client reconnects to another node (also in 4.4.16).

  • Fix: Regression in loading aggregate events performance

  • Fix: Handle queries with same request type but different response type

  • Fix: client sometimes reconnects when other Axon Server node is restarted

  • New metrics added:

    • file.bloom.open: counts the number of bloom filter segments opened since start

    • file.bloom.close: counts the number of bloom filter segments closed since start

    • file.segment.open: counts the number of event store segments opened since start

    • local.aggregate.segments: monitors the number of segments that were accessed for reading aggregate event requests

Notes:

  • Default value for configuration property axoniq.axonserver.event.events-per-segment-prefetch is decreased from 50 to 10.

Release 4.5.3

  • Improved performance for reading aggregates

    Axon Server is now reading events for an aggregate from multiple event store segments in parallel. The order in which Axon Server returns the events remains unchanged.

  • Reduced memory usage for in-memory indexes

    Axon Server maintains index entries for the latest event store segment in-memory. The structure of this data has been changed to reduce the heap used by this index.

  • Reduced number of files kept open as memory-mapped files

    Axon Server now only keeps a (configurable) number of event files open as memory-mapped files. Older files will be opened and closed when needed. The number of event store segments that are opened as memory mapped files can be configured through the property: axoniq.axonserver.event.memory-mapped-segments

  • Initialize event stores asynchronously on startup

    When Axon Server needs to recreate indexes for a context on startup, it can take some time to complete. This change makes the initialization of the context asynchronous, so that if one context takes a long time to initialize, other replication groups are already available. This also makes the HTTP endpoint available sooner, so liveliness checks succeed faster.

  • Improvements in shutdown process

  • Fix: Load balancing operations for processors should ignore stopped instances

Release 4.4.17

  • Fix: Failure in the initialization of a node in leader role now prevents the node from moving to leader role

  • Fix: Message from another node with a higher term must force node into follower state if it is in leader state

Release 4.4.16

  • Fix: Clients should not connect to a node that is unable to contact other nodes in the cluster If a client requests a connection from an isolated Axon Server node, Axon Server rejects the connection, and the client requests a connection from another node. If a client has a connection to an Axon Server node, and the node loses the connection to the other Axon Server nodes in the cluster, Axon Server will disconnect the client. The client reconnects to another node.
