Highlights of Recent PRs
Region Repartition Procedure
A series of PRs landed the complete region repartitioning feature:
- db#7534: Implements the region allocation phase, including WAL option selection, region route allocation, and metadata updates
- db#7509: Adds manifest remapping and apply staging manifest handlers on datanodes, and the corresponding meta-srv procedure states
- db#7548: Hooks repartition into
DdlManagerso ALTER TABLE can submit and track repartition procedures
This feature is expected to ship in the upcoming RC1 release later this month.
db#7468 feat: impl vector index building
Implements vector index building infrastructure using HNSW algorithm via USearch, enabling vector index construction during SST flush and compaction.
Good First Issue
Issue#7314 Feature Request: Add built-in daemon mode to keep GreptimeDB running independently of shell sessions
Add a --daemon CLI flag to allow GreptimeDB to run as a background process independent of shell sessions, similar to Redis's daemonize option.
Keywords: CLI, daemon mode
Difficulty: Medium
Issue#6095 Make /events/logs to accept x-greptime-pipeline-name header
The OTEL protocols accept x-greptime-pipeline-name as a pipeline name, but /events/logs does not. This inconsistency is unfriendly to users. This enhancement would align the /events/logs endpoint with the OTEL protocol behavior.
Keywords: API, HTTP, OTEL, pipeline
Difficulty: Easy
