VoltDB Operator Release Notes

The VoltDB Operator automates and simplifies deploying and managing VoltDB clusters on Kubernetes. The following are notes related to the individual releases of the VoltDB Operator. A chart listing version compatibility between the Operator, Helm charts and the VoltDB software for current and past releases can be found in the VoltDB software Release Notes.

  • VoltDB 12.2.2
  • Fix CVE-2023-27533 through CVE-2023-27536

  • Fix CVE-2023-0464.

Version 2.0.0 (March 29, 2023)

  • VoltDB V12.2

  • Ability to use unique TLS/SSL certificates for each XDCR cluster.
  • Helm plugin command voltadmin mask masks passwords in YAML files.

Version 1.10.1 (March 17, 2023)

Version 1.9.0 (October 18, 2022)

  • VoltDB V12.0
  • VMC and the JSON/HTTP API are now run as a separate service by default, with single instance for the entire cluster.
  • Support for storing TLS/SSL credentials in a Kubernetes secret.

Version 1.8.2 (August 11, 2022)

  • VoltDB V11.4.1
  • Fix issue where user account could be defined twice, once as automated Operator admin user and also manually defined in configuration properties.

  • VoltDB V11. 4.
  • Support for Kubernetes 1.23.0.

Version 1.7.3 (May 19, 2022)

  • Fix issue where dropping an XDCR cluster (using dr.excludeClusters), then clearing the property, resulted in any subsequent use of the property failing.

Version 1.7.2 (May 12, 2022)

  • Fix issue where starting XDCR using nodePorts in earlier V1.7.x releases did not initiate the nodePort properly.

Version 1.7.0 (February 8, 2022)

  • Support for Kubernetes 1.22.0.

Version 1.6.6 (June 22, 2022)

  • Updates to Alpine and AdoptOpenJDK.
  • Fix issue where stopping a node could fail and get caught in an endless loop retrying.

Version 1.6.5 (May 19, 2022)

  • Fix issue where dropping an XDCR cluster (using dr.excludeClusters), then clearing the property, resulted in any subsequent use of the property failing.

Version 1.6.4 (May 12, 2022)

  • Fix issue where starting XDCR using nodePorts in earlier V1.6.x releases did not initiate the nodePort properly.

Version 1.6.3 (March 7, 2022)

  • Added missing Python library.

Version 1.6.1 (December 3, 2021)

  • Correct Helm properties for VoltDB Topics, including adding per topic properties.

Version 1.6.0 (November 18, 2021)

  • Support for configuring VoltDB Topics.
  • Expanded support for use of LoadBalancers and NodePorts for XDCR. Note: these XDCR enhancements require changes that are not compatible with previous charts.
  • Passwords associated with the configuration of the cluster are hashed on input and stored in their hashed form.

Version 1.5.0 (October 28, 2021)

  • Support for OpenShift.

Version 1.4.0 (September 14, 2021)

  • Support for Kubernetes 1.21.
  • Beta release of Helm plugin, voltadmin.

Version 1.3.7 (August 20, 2021)

  • Previously, resetting an XDCR connection with the cluster.clusterSpec.dr.excludeClusters property interrupted DR for all clusters, not just the excluded cluster. This issue has been resolved.

Version 1.3.6 (August 12, 2021)

  • Support for multi-cluster XDCR with three or more clusters.

Version 1.3.5 (June 16, 2021)

  • Support for Kubernetes 1.20.
  • The VoltDB Operator now logs all of the commands it issues to the VoltDB processes.
  • Setting the property cluster.clusterSpec.deletePVC to false then uninstalling the release now clears all metadata to avoid old metadata accidentally being reused when a new release is installed.
  • Fix an issue with XDCR where repetitive health checks on the DR port could flood the logs with warnings and interfere with regular client connections. A similar condition when enabling SSL on the VoltDB cluster was also fixed.

Version 1.3.4 (May 7, 2021)

  • The Operator only supports XDCR, not passive DR. Setting the cluster.config.deployment.dr.role property to anything but xdcr or none is now reported as an error.

    Version 1.3.3 (March 25, 2021)

  • Support for Kubernetes 1.19.

Version 1.3.2 (March 2, 2021)

  • Support for the inclusion of initialization schema, procedure classes, and third-party JAR files through the additionalVolumes and additionalVolumeMounts properties.
  • The VoltDB httpd interface is now managed as a separate service {cluster-name}-http. This service has session affinity enabled for the client IP address to allow use of nodeports for accessing VMC.
