This update brings several backend performance improvements to both Core and Enterprise in preparation for additional new features over the next several weeks!

v3.0.0-0.beta.1

Core

Features

Query and storage enhancements

• New ability to stream response data for CSV and JSON queries, similar to how JSONL streaming works
• Parquet files are now cached on the query path, improving performance
• Query buffer is incrementally cleared when snapshotting, lowering memory spikes

Processing engine improvements

• New Trigger Types:
  • Scheduled: Run Python plugins on custom, time-defined basis
  • Request: Call Python plugins via HTTP requests
• New in-memory cache for storing data temporarily; cached data can be stored for a single trigger or across all triggers
• Integration with virtual environments and install packages:
  • Specify Python virtual environment via CLI or VIRTUAL_ENV variable
  • Install packages or a requirements.txt
• Python plugins are now implemented through triggers only. Simply create a trigger that references your Python plugin code file directly
• Snapshots are now persisted in parallel, improving performance by running jobs simultaneously, rather than sequentially
• Write to logs from within the Processing Engine

Database and CLI improvements

• You can now specify the precision on your timestamps for writes using the --precision flag. Includes nano/micro/milli/seconds (ns/us/ms/s)
• Added a new show system subcommand to display system tables with different options via SQL (default limit: 100)
• Clearer table creation error messages

Bug fixes

• If a database was created and the service was killed before any data was written, the database would not be retained
• A last cache with specific “value” columns could not be queried
• Running CTRL-C no longer stopped an InfluxDB process, due to a Python trigger
• A previous build had broken JSON queries for RecordBatches
• There was an issue with the distinct cache that caused panics

Parameter changes

For Core and Enterprise, there are parameter changes for simplicity:

Enterprise features

Cluster management

• Nodes are now associated with clusters, simplifying compaction, read replication, and processing
• Node specs are now available for simpler management of cache creations

Mode types

• Set ingest, query, compact, and process individually per node

Enterprise parameter changes

For Enterprise, additional parameters for the serve command have been consolidated for simplicity:

In addition to the above changes, --cluster-id is now a required parameter for all new instances.
