Note about upgrades: Please carefully review the upgrade documentation for this release thoroughly before upgrading your clusters. The upgrade notes (e.g. upgrade from 6.2 to 6.3) discuss every critical information about incompatibilities and breaking changes, performance changes, and any other configuration changes that might impact your production deployment of Punchplatform.

Changes

Kibana plugins conf

  • Any plugin configuration can now be written inside a domain section only (even the plugin version configuration)
  • Any plugin can now be disabled with the configuration enabled: false (default true)

Dissect

The default behavior of the dissect operator change. It now adds the matched fields into the target tuple instead of overwritting it. If you need the overwriting you can use the overwrite method as follows:

'''java dissect(\"%{host}:%{port}\") .overwrite() .on(\"myhost:8080\") .into([target]); '''

Gateway

  • Add Minio support for resource manager data backend
  • New route /v1/<TENANT>/resources/update/<RESOURCE> to edit resource metadata properties.

Storm

  • return of published hostname settings in the storm configuration

Improvements

  • #1330 Allow additive secrets/credentials sources for platform/cluster/node level for storm and spark
  • #1346 customize book listing terminated application timeout.
  • #1417 Add success and errors stream to archive reader. (See usage documentation)

Zookeeper

  • # 1354 Removed deprecated deployer role 'zookeeper-nodes-creator'

Warning

Extraction

Prior to version 6.3.3, consider extraction feature as not working although in some very simple use-case you might be getting the desired behavior.
