Fixes and other enhancements to fine-tune handling in a managed environment. Additional CVE fixes below:
Availability improvements:
Added the ability to cleanly shut down the cluster for future major version upgrades.
General improvements:
-
Fixed an issue that can cause high CPU consumption on the reader instances due to excessive logging of informational messages in internal diagnostic log files.
-
Fixed an issue where the value of a TIMESTAMP column of an existing row is updated to the latest timestamp when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
-
A trigger exists for the table.
-
An INSERT is performed on the table that has an ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE clause.
-
The inserted row causes a duplicate value violation in a UNIQUE index or PRIMARY KEY.
-
One or more columns are of TIMESTAMP data type and have a default value of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.
-

-
Fixed an issue where, in rare conditions, read replicas restarts when a large object's update history is being validated for a transaction's read view on the read replica.
-
Fixed an issue which, in rare conditions, causes a writer instance to restart when an in-memory data- integrity check fails.
