6.8.43 DSE Cassandra

  • Reverted the regression caused by DSP-23913 which introduced a change in batch size calculation that impacts the behaviour of the batch_size guardrail. Introduced a new guardrail called batch_size_with_pk_warn_threshold_in_kb, batch_size_with_pk_fail_threshold_in_kb instead that honours the updated logic. (DSP-24011)

6.8.43 DSE Core

  • Fixed issue causing indefinite waits during flush operations when TPC executor gets overloaded and default queue size is exceeded. (DSP-23774)
  • Modified DSE Advanced Authentication to preserve credentials cache in case of an LDAP internal error causing authentication failure. (DSP-12590)

NOTE: above-listed DSE Java Driver is an internal-version only. If you're developing applications, please refer to the Java Driver documentation to choose an appropriate version.

6.8.42 DSE Cassandra

  • Fixed mutation size calculation formula by taking into account static column updates. Backporting CASSANDRA-15293 achieved this fix. (DSP-23933)

The previous Ehcache v2.10.9.2 was exposing a security vulnerability CVE-2020-36518. The vulnerability in jackson-databind before v2.13.0 allowed a Java StackOverflow exception and denial of service via a large depth of nested objects. (DSP-23508, CVE-2020-36518, CVE-2017-17485, CVE-2017-7525, CVE-2018-11307, CVE-2018-7489, CVE-2019-16942)

NOTE: above-listed DSE Java Driver is an internal-version only. If you're developing applications, please refer to the Java Driver documentation to choose an appropriate version.

6.8.41 DSE Core

  • Fixed deadlock in indexes initialization that occurs when the same table has both a secondary index and a search index and the entries in IndexInfo table are missing. The deadlock is resolved by marking the SOLR index as built in a different thread than the main DSE thread. (DSP-23828)

NOTE: above-listed DSE Java Driver is an internal-version only. If you're developing applications, please refer to the Java Driver documentation to choose an appropriate version.

6.8.40 DSE Cassandra

  • Ensured that tombstones get NodeSynced before expiring by assigning segments that have never successfully been NodeSynced an urgent priority. (DSP-23710)

6.8.40 DSE CVE

  • Upgraded Netty to version 4.1.100.1.dse that is based on 4.1.100.Final. (DSP-23763, CVE-2023-44487, CVE-2022-41881, CVE-2023-34462)
  • Removed htrace coming from Hadoop libraries (see HADOOP-17424). Removed jackson-databind version 2.4.0 that was a transitive dependency of htrace. (DSP-23450)

6.8.38 DSE Cassandra

  • Changed reads from an SSTable to be delimited by and not exceed the declared row size in the row preamble. This prevents Out of Memory issues (OOM) with a corrupted SSTable. (DSP-23336)

Release notes for DSE 6.8.8

15 December 2020

⚠️ NOTE: Due to a serious bug which affects DSE 6.8.7 and DSE 6.8.8, these releases have been retracted. We recommend against upgrading to these versions at this time. If you have already upgraded to these versions, please EITHER set zerocopy_streaming_enabled=false in the cassandra.yaml and perform a rolling restart AND/OR run upgradesstables on all nodes in your cluster before adding new nodes, running repair, or restoring from backups. This bug has been addressed in DSE 6.8.9. All features and fixes for 6.8.8 and 6.8.7 are present in 6.8.9.

Components versions for DSE 6.8.8

  • Apache Solr™ 6.0.1.4.2814*
  • Apache Spark™ 2.4.0.16

  • Apache Tomcat® 8.0.53
  • DSE Java Driver 1.10.0-dse+20200217 (DSE internal-only version)
  • Netty 4.1.25.7.dse

DSE 6.8.8 Indexing

  • The issue: When flushing text column indexes, the internal ordering of terms can be processed out of order causing an "*java.lang.AssertionError: Incremental trie requires sorted keys*" error. When this happens, all flushing of indexes involved in this transaction is aborted and the indexes are marked non-queryable. Recovering from this issue involves either rebuilding the indexes or restarting the nodes. (DSP-21580)
  • Fixes a performance regression in SAI for versions 6.8.6 and 6.8.7 regarding *MultiRangeReadCommand*. (DSP-21601)
