manticore-extra v1.1.20

Released: Oct 7 2024

Bug fixes

  • Issue #64 Resolved an issue where the unattended-upgrades utility, which automatically installs package updates on Debian-based systems, would incorrectly mark several Manticore packages, including manticore-galera, manticore-executor, and manticore-columnar-lib, for removal. This occurred due to dpkg mistakenly considering the virtual package manticore-extra as redundant. Changes were made to ensure unattended-upgrades no longer tries to remove essential Manticore components.

MCL

Version 6.2.0

Released: August 4th 2023

Major changes

  • The query optimizer has been enhanced to support full-text queries, significantly improving search efficiency and performance.

  • Integrations with:

  • We've started using GitHub workflows, making it simpler for contributors to utilize the same Continuous Integration (CI) process that the core team applies when preparing packages. All jobs can be run on GitHub-hosted runners, which facilitates seamless testing of changes in your fork of Manticore Search.

  • We've started using CLT to test complex scenarios. For example, we're now able to ensure that a package built after a commit can be properly installed across all supported Linux operating systems. The Command Line Tester (CLT) provides a user-friendly way to record tests in an interactive mode and to effortlessly replay them.

  • Significant performance improvement in count distinct operation by employing a combination of hash tables and HyperLogLog.

  • Enabled multithreaded execution of queries containing secondary indexes, with the number of threads limited to the count of physical CPU cores. This should considerably improve the query execution speed.

  • pseudo_sharding has been adjusted to be limited to the number of free threads. This update considerably enhances the throughput performance.

  • Users now have the option to specify the default attribute storage engine via the configuration settings, providing better customization to match specific workload requirements.

  • Support for Manticore Columnar Library 2.2.0 with numerous bug fixes and improvements in Secondary indexes.

Minor changes

  • Buddy #153: The /pq HTTP endpoint now serves as an alias for the /json/pq HTTP endpoint.

  • Commit 2bb9: Instead of scanning the index for count(*) queries, a precalculated value is now returned.

  • Commit 3c84: It's now possible to use SELECT for making arbitrary calculations and displaying @@sysvars. Unlike before, you are no longer limited to just one calculation. Therefore, queries like select user(), database(), @@version_comment, version(), 1+1 as a limit 10 will return all the columns. Note that the optional 'limit' will always be ignored.

  • Commit 6aca: Implemented the CREATE DATABASE stub query.

  • Commit 9dc1: When executing ALTER TABLE table REBUILD SECONDARY, secondary indexes are now always rebuilt, even if attributes weren't updated.

  • Commit 46ed: Sorters utilizing precalculated data are now identified before using CBO to avoid unnecessary CBO calculations.

  • Commit e77d: The DocidIndex cost calculation has been improved, enhancing overall performance.

  • Commit f3ae: Load metrics, similar to 'uptime' on Linux, are now visible in the SHOW STATUS command.

  • Commit f3cc: The field and attribute order for DESC and SHOW CREATE TABLE now match that of SELECT * FROM.

  • Commit f3d2: Different internal parsers now provide their internal mnemonic code (e.g., P01) during various errors. This enhancement aids in identifying which parser caused an error and also obscures non-essential internal details.

  • Issue #1317 "Fix CBO vs fulltext on hn dataset": Enhanced logic has been implemented for determining when to use bitmap iterator intersection and when to use a priority queue.

  • Issue #1318 "columnar: change iterator interface to single-call" : Columnar iterators now use a single Get call, replacing the previous two-step AdvanceTo + Get calls to retrieve a value.

  • Issue #1319 "Aggregate calc speedup (remove CheckReplaceEntry?)": The CheckReplaceEntry call was removed from the group sorter to expedite the calculation of aggregate functions.

  • Issue #1320 "create table read_buffer_docs/hits doesn't understand k/m/g syntax": The CREATE TABLE options read_buffer_docs and read_buffer_hits now support k/m/g syntax.

  • ⚠️ Tables created or modified in version 6.2.0 cannot be read by older versions.

  • ⚠️ Document IDs are now handled as unsigned 64-bit integers during indexing and INSERT operations.

  • ⚠️ The syntax for query optimizer hints has been updated. The new format is /*+ SecondaryIndex(uid) */. Please note that the old syntax is no longer supported.

  • ⚠️ Issue #1160: The usage of @ in table names has been disallowed to prevent syntax conflicts.

  • ⚠️ String fields/attributes marked as indexed and attribute are now regarded as a single field during INSERT, DESC, and ALTER operations.

  • ⚠️ Issue #1057: MCL libraries will no longer load on systems that don't support SSE 4.2.

  • ⚠️ Issue #1143: agent_query_timeout was broken. Fixed and is now effective.

Bugfixes

Version 6.0.0

Released: Feb 7 2023

Starting with this release, Manticore Search comes with Manticore Buddy, a sidecar daemon written in PHP that handles high-level functionality that does not require super low latency or high throughput. Manticore Buddy operates behind the scenes, and you may not even realize it is running. Although it is invisible to the end user, it was a significant challenge to make Manticore Buddy easily installable and compatible with the main C++-based daemon. This major change will allow the team to develop a wide range of new high-level features, such as shards orchestration, access control and authentication, and various integrations like mysqldump, DBeaver, Grafana mysql connector. For now it already handles SHOW QUERIES, BACKUP and Auto schema.

This release also includes more than 130 bug fixes and numerous features, many of which can be considered major.

Major Changes

  • 🔬 Experimental: you can now execute Elasticsearch-compatible insert and replace JSON queries which enables using Manticore with tools like Logstash (version < 7.13), Filebeat and other tools from the Beats family. Enabled by default. You can disable it using SET GLOBAL ES_COMPAT=off.

  • Support for Manticore Columnar Library 2.0.0 with numerous fixes and improvements in Secondary indexes. ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Secondary indexes are ON by default as of this release. Make sure you do ALTER TABLE table_name REBUILD SECONDARY if you are upgrading from Manticore 5. See below for more details.

  • Commit c436 Auto-schema: you can now skip creating a table, just insert the first document and Manticore will create the table automatically based on its fields. Read more about this in detail here. You can turn it on/off using searchd.auto_schema.

  • Vast revamp of cost-based optimizer which lowers query response time in many cases.

  • Telemetry: we are excited to announce the addition of telemetry in this release. This feature allows us to collect anonymous and depersonalized metrics that will help us improve the performance and user experience of our product. Rest assured, all data collected is completely anonymous and will not be linked to any personal information. This feature can be easily turned off in the settings if desired.

  • Commit 5aaf ALTER TABLE table_name REBUILD SECONDARY to rebuild secondary indexes whenever you want, for example:

  • Issue #821 New tool manticore-backup for backing up and restoring Manticore instance

  • SQL command BACKUP to do backups from inside Manticore.

  • SQL command SHOW QUERIES as an easy way to see running queries rather than threads.

  • Issue #551 SQL command KILL to kill a long-running SELECT.

  • Dynamic max_matches for aggregation queries to increase accuracy and lower response time.

Minor changes

  • Issue #822 SQL commands FREEZE/UNFREEZE to prepare a real-time/plain table for a backup.

  • Commit c470 New settings accurate_aggregation and max_matches_increase_threshold for controlled aggregation accuracy.

  • Issue #718 Support for signed negative 64-bit IDs. Note, you still can't use IDs > 2^63, but you can now use ids in the range of from -2^63 to 0.

  • As we recently added support for secondary indexes, things became confusing as "index" could refer to a secondary index, a full-text index, or a plain/real-time index. To reduce confusion, we are renaming the latter to "table". The following SQL/command line commands are affected by this change. Their old versions are deprecated, but still functional:

    • index <table name> => table <table name>,

    • searchd -i / --index => searchd -t / --table,

    • SHOW INDEX STATUS => SHOW TABLE STATUS,

    • SHOW INDEX SETTINGS => SHOW TABLE SETTINGS,

    • FLUSH RTINDEX => FLUSH TABLE,

    • OPTIMIZE INDEX => OPTIMIZE TABLE,

    • ATTACH TABLE plain TO RTINDEX rt => ATTACH TABLE plain TO TABLE rt,

    • RELOAD INDEX => RELOAD TABLE,

    • RELOAD INDEXES => RELOAD TABLES.

    We are not planning to make the old forms obsolete, but to ensure compatibility with the documentation, we recommend changing the names in your application. What will be changed in a future release is the "index" to "table" rename in the output of various SQL and JSON commands.

  • Queries with stateful UDFs are now forced to be executed in a single thread.

  • Issue #1011 Refactoring of all related to time scheduling as a prerequisite for parallel chunks merging.

  • ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Columnar storage format has been changed. You need to rebuild those tables that have columnar attributes.

  • ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Secondary indexes file format has been changed, so if you are using secondary indexes for searching and have searchd.secondary_indexes = 1 in your configuration file, be aware that the new Manticore version will skip loading the tables that have secondary indexes. It's recommended to:

    • Before you upgrade change searchd.secondary_indexes to 0 in the configuration file.

    • Run the instance. Manticore will load up the tables with a warning.

    • Run ALTER TABLE <table name> REBUILD SECONDARY for each index to rebuild secondary indexes.

    If you are running a replication cluster, you'll need to run ALTER TABLE <table name> REBUILD SECONDARY on all the nodes or follow this instruction with just change: run the ALTER .. REBUILD SECONDARY instead of the OPTIMIZE.

  • ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: The binlog version has been updated, so any binlogs from previous versions will not be replayed. It is important to ensure that Manticore Search is stopped cleanly during the upgrade process. This means that there should be no binlog files in /var/lib/manticore/binlog/ except for binlog.meta after stopping the previous instance.

  • Issue #849 SHOW SETTINGS: you can now see the settings from the configuration file from inside Manticore.

  • Issue #1007 SET GLOBAL CPUSTATS=1/0 turns on/off cpu time tracking; SHOW THREADS now doesn't show CPU statistics when the cpu time tracking is off.

  • Issue #1009 RT table RAM chunk segments can now be merged while the RAM chunk is being flushed.

  • Issue #1012 Added secondary index progress to the output of indexer.

  • Issue #1013 Previously a table record could be removed by Manticore from the index list if it couldn't start serving it on start. The new behaviour is to keep it in the list to try to load it on the next start.

  • indextool --docextract returns all the words and hits belonging to requested document.

  • Commit 2b29 Environment variable dump_corrupt_meta enables dumping a corrupted table meta data to log in case searchd can't load the index.

  • Commit c7a3 DEBUG META can show max_matches and pseudo sharding statistics.

  • Commit 6bca A better error instead of the confusing "Index header format is not json, will try it as binary...".

  • Commit bef3 Ukirainian lemmatizer path has been changed.

  • Commit 4ae7 Secondary indexes statistics has been added to SHOW META.

  • Commit 2e7c JSON interface can now be easily visualized using Swagger Editor https://manual.manticoresearch.com/Openapi#OpenAPI-specification.

  • ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Replication protocol has been changed. If you are running a replication cluster, then when upgrading to Manticore 5 you need to:

    • stop all your nodes first cleanly

    • and then start the node which was stopped last with --new-cluster (run tool manticore_new_cluster in Linux).

    • read about restarting a cluster for more details.

Bugfixes

  • ❗Issue #791 - wrong stack size could cause a crash.

Version 5.0.0

Released: May 18th 2022

Major new features

  • 🔬 Support for Manticore Columnar Library 1.15.2, which enables Secondary indexes beta version. Building secondary indexes is on by default for plain and real-time columnar and row-wise indexes (if Manticore Columnar Library is in use), but to enable it for searching you need to set secondary_indexes = 1 either in your configuration file or using SET GLOBAL. The new functionality is supported in all operating systems except old Debian Stretch and Ubuntu Xenial.

  • Read-only mode: you can now specify listeners that process only read queries discarding any writes.

  • New /cli endpoint for running SQL queries over HTTP even easier.

  • Faster bulk INSERT/REPLACE/DELETE via JSON over HTTP: previously you could provide multiple write commands via HTTP JSON protocol, but they were processed one by one, now they are handled as a single transaction.

  • #720 Nested filters support in JSON protocol. Previously you couldn't code things like a=1 and (b=2 or c=3) in JSON: must (AND), should (OR) and must_not (NOT) worked only on the highest level. Now they can be nested.

  • Support for Chunked transfer encoding in the HTTP protocol. You can now use chunked transfer in your application to transmit large batches with reduced resource consumption (since calculating Content-Length is unnecessary). On the server side, Manticore now always processes incoming HTTP data in a streaming manner, without waiting for the entire batch to be transferred as before, which:

    • reduces peak RAM usage, lowering the risk of OOM

    • decreases response time (our tests indicated an 11% reduction for processing a 100MB batch)

    • allows you to bypass max_packet_size and transfer batches much larger than the maximum allowed value of max_packet_size (128MB), for example, 1GB at a time.

  • #719 HTTP interface support of 100 Continue: now you can transfer large batches from curl (including curl libraries used by various programming languages) which by default does Expect: 100-continue and waits some time before actually sending the batch. Previously you had to add Expect: header, now it's not needed.

    Previously (note the response time):

  • ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Pseudo sharding is enabled by default. If you want to disable it make sure you add pseudo_sharding = 0 to section searchd of your Manticore configuration file.

  • Having at least one full-text field in a real-time/plain index is not mandatory anymore. You can now use Manticore even in cases not having anything to do with full-text search.

  • Fast fetching for attributes backed by Manticore Columnar Library: queries like select * from <columnar table> are now much faster than previously, especially if there are many fields in the schema.

  • ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Implicit cutoff. Manticore now doesn't spend time and resources processing data you don't need in the result set which will be returned. The downside is that it affects total_found in SHOW META and hits.total in JSON output. It is now only accurate in case you see total_relation: eq while total_relation: gte means the actual number of matching documents is greater than the total_found value you've got. To retain the previous behaviour you can use search option cutoff=0, which makes total_relation always eq.

  • ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: All full-text fields are now stored by default. You need to use stored_fields = (empty value) to make all fields non-stored (i.e. revert to the previous behaviour).

  • #715 HTTP JSON supports search options.

Minor changes

  • ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Index meta file format change. Previously meta files (.meta, .sph) were in binary format, now it's just json. The new Manticore version will convert older indexes automatically, but:

    • you can get warning like WARNING: ... syntax error, unexpected TOK_IDENT

    • you won't be able to run the index with previous Manticore versions, make sure you have a backup

  • ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Session state support with help of HTTP keep-alive. This makes HTTP stateful when the client supports it too. For example, using the new /cli endpoint and HTTP keep-alive (which is on by default in all browsers) you can call SHOW META after SELECT and it will work the same way it works via mysql. Note, previously Connection: keep-alive HTTP header was supported too, but it only caused reusing the same connection. Since this version it also makes the session stateful.

  • You can now specify columnar_attrs = * to define all your attributes as columnar in the plain mode which is useful in case the list is long.

  • Faster replication SST

  • ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: Replication protocol has been changed. If you are running a replication cluster, then when upgrading to Manticore 5 you need to:

    • stop all your nodes first cleanly

    • and then start the node which was stopped last with --new-cluster (run tool manticore_new_cluster in Linux).

    • read about restarting a cluster for more details.

  • Replication improvements:

    • Faster SST

    • Noise resistance which can help in case of unstable network between replication nodes

    • Improved logging

  • Security improvement: Manticore now listens on 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0 in case no listen at all is specified in config. Even though in the default configuration which is shipped with Manticore Search the listen setting is specified and it's not typical to have a configuration with no listen at all, it's still possible. Previously Manticore would listen on 0.0.0.0 which is not secure, now it listens on 127.0.0.1 which is usually not exposed to the Internet.

  • Faster aggregation over columnar attributes.

  • Increased AVG() accuracy: previously Manticore used float internally for aggregations, now it uses double which increases the accuracy significantly.

  • Improved support for JDBC MySQL driver.

  • DEBUG malloc_stats support for jemalloc.

  • optimize_cutoff is now available as a per-table setting which can be set when you CREATE or ALTER a table.

  • ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: query_log_format is now sphinxql by default. If you are used to plain format you need to add query_log_format = plain to your configuration file.

  • Significant memory consumption improvements: Manticore consumes significantly less RAM now in case of long and intensive insert/replace/optimize workload in case stored fields are used.

  • shutdown_timeout default value was increased from 3 seconds to 60 seconds.

  • Commit ffd0 Support for Java mysql connector >= 6.0.3: in Java mysql connection 6.0.3 they changed the way they connect to mysql which broke compatibility with Manticore. The new behaviour is now supported.

  • Commit 1da6 disabled saving a new disk chunk on loading an index (e.g. on searchd startup).

  • Issue #746 Support for glibc >= 2.34.

  • Issue #784 count 'VIP' connections separately from usual (non-VIP). Previously VIP connections were counted towards the max_connections limit, which could cause "maxed out" error for non-VIP connections. Now VIP connections are not counted towards the limit. Current number of VIP connections can be also seen in SHOW STATUS and status.

  • ID can now be specified explicitly.

  • Issue #687 support zstd compression for mysql proto

⚠️ Other minor breaking changes

  • ⚠️ BM25F formula has been slightly updated to improve search relevance. This only affects search results in case you use function BM25F(), it doesn't change behaviour of the default ranking formula.

  • ⚠️ Changed behaviour of REST /sql endpoint: /sql?mode=raw now requires escaping and returns an array.

  • ⚠️ Format change of the response of /bulk INSERT/REPLACE/DELETE requests:

    • previously each sub-query constituted a separate transaction and resulted in a separate response

    • now the whole batch is considered a single transaction, which returns a single response

  • ⚠️ Search options low_priority and boolean_simplify now require a value (0/1): previously you could do SELECT ... OPTION low_priority, boolean_simplify, now you need to do SELECT ... OPTION low_priority=1, boolean_simplify=1.

  • ⚠️ If you are using old php, python or java clients please follow the corresponding link and find an updated version. The old versions are not fully compatible with Manticore 5.

  • ⚠️ HTTP JSON requests are now logged in different format in mode query_log_format=sphinxql. Previously only full-text part was logged, now it's logged as is.

New packages

  • ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: because of the new structure when you upgrade to Manticore 5 it's recommended to remove old packages before you install the new ones:

    • RPM-based: yum remove manticore*

    • Debian and Ubuntu: apt remove manticore*

  • New deb/rpm packages structure. Previous versions provided:

    • manticore-server with searchd (main search daemon) and all needed for it

    • manticore-tools with indexer and indextool

    • manticore including everything

    • manticore-all RPM as a meta package referring to manticore-server and manticore-tools

    The new structure is:

    • manticore - deb/rpm meta package which installs all the above as dependencies

    • manticore-server-core - searchd and everything to run it alone

    • manticore-server - systemd files and other supplementary scripts

    • manticore-tools - indexer, indextool and other tools

    • manticore-common - default configuration file, default data directory, default stopwords

    • manticore-icudata, manticore-dev, manticore-converter didn't change much

    • .tgz bundle which includes all the packages

  • Support for Ubuntu Jammy

  • Support for Amazon Linux 2 via YUM repo

Version 4.2.0, Dec 23 2021

Major new features

  • Pseudo-sharding support for real-time indexes and full-text queries. In previous release we added limited pseudo sharding support. Starting from this version you can get all benefits of the pseudo sharding and your multi-core processor by just enabling searchd.pseudo_sharding. The coolest thing is that you don't need to do anything with your indexes or queries for that, just enable it and if you have free CPU it will be used to lower your response time. It supports plain and real-time indexes for full-text, filtering and analytical queries. For example, here is how enabling pseudo sharding can make most queries' response time in average about 10x lower on Hacker news curated comments dataset multiplied 100 times (116 million docs in a plain index).

  • Debian Bullseye is now supported.

  • PQ transactions are now atomic and isolated. Previously PQ transactions support was limited. It enables much faster REPLACE into PQ, especially when you need to replace a lot of rules at once. Performance details:

4.0.2

It takes 48 seconds to insert 1M PQ rules and 406 seconds to REPLACE just 40K in 10K batches.

Minor changes

  • optimize_cutoff is now available as a configuration option in section searchd. It's useful when you want to limit the RT chunks count in all your indexes to a particular number globally.

  • Commit 0087 accurate count(distinct ...) and FACET ... distinct over several local physical indexes (real-time/plain) with identical fields set/order.

  • PR #598 bigint support for YEAR() and other timestamp functions.

  • Commit 8e85 Adaptive rt_mem_limit. Previously Manticore Search was collecting exactly up to rt_mem_limit of data before saving a new disk chunk to disk, and while saving was still collecting up to 10% more (aka double-buffer) to minimize possible insert suspension. If that limit was also exhausted, adding new documents was blocked until the disk chunk was fully saved to disk. The new adaptive limit is built on the fact that we have auto-optimize now, so it's not a big deal if disk chunks do not fully respect rt_mem_limit and start flushing a disk chunk earlier. So, now we collect up to 50% of rt_mem_limit and save that as a disk chunk. Upon saving we look at the statistics (how much we've saved, how many new documents have arrived while saving) and recalculate the initial rate which will be used next time. For example, if we saved 90 million documents, and another 10 million docs arrived while saving, the rate is 90%, so we know that next time we can collect up to 90% of rt_mem_limit before starting flushing another disk chunk. The rate value is calculated automatically from 33.3% to 95%.

  • Issue #628 unpack_zlib for PostgreSQL source. Thank you, Dmitry Voronin for the contribution.

  • Commit 6d54 indexer -v and --version. Previously you could still see indexer's version, but -v/--version were not supported.

  • Issue #662 infinit mlock limit by default when Manticore is started via systemd.

  • Commit 63c8 spinlock -> op queue for coro rwlock.

  • Commit 4113 environment variable MANTICORE_TRACK_RT_ERRORS useful for debugging RT segments corruption.

Breaking changes

  • Binlog version was increased, binlog from previous version won't be replayed, so make sure you stop Manticore Search cleanly during upgrade: no binlog files should be in /var/lib/manticore/binlog/ except binlog.meta after stopping the previous instance.

  • Commit 3f65 new column "chain" in show threads option format=all. It shows stack of some task info tickets, most useful for profiling needs, so if you are parsing show threads output be aware of the new column.

  • searchd.workers was obsoleted since 3.5.0, now it's deprecated, if you still have it in your configuration file it will trigger a warning on start. Manticore Search will start, but with a warning.

  • If you use PHP and PDO to access Manticore you need to do PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES

Bugfixes

  • ❗Issue #650 Manticore 4.0.2 slower than Manticore 3.6.3. 4.0.2 was faster than previous versions in terms of bulk inserts, but significantly slower for single document inserts. It's been fixed in 4.2.0.

  • ❗Commit 22f4 RT index could get corrupted under intensive REPLACE load, or it could crash

  • Commit 03be fixed average at merging groupers and group N sorter; fixed merge of aggregates

  • Commit 4165 morphology_skip_fields was not supported by create table

Version 4.0.2, Sep 21 2021

Major new features

  • Full support of Manticore Columnar Library. Previously Manticore Columnar Library was supported only for plain indexes. Now it's supported:

    • in real-time indexes for INSERT, REPLACE, DELETE, OPTIMIZE

    • in replication

    • in ALTER

    • in indextool --check

  • Automatic indexes compaction (Issue #478). Finally, you don't have to call OPTIMIZE manually or via a crontask or other kind of automation. Manticore now does it for you automatically and by default. You can set default compaction threshold via optimize_cutoff global variable.

  • Chunk snapshots and locks system revamp. These changes may be invisible from outside at first glance, but they improve the behaviour of many things happening in real-time indexes significantly. In a nutshell, previously most Manticore data manipulation operations relied on locks heavily, now we use disk chunk snapshots instead.

  • Significantly faster bulk INSERT performance into a real-time index. For example on Hetzner's server AX101 with SSD, 128 GB of RAM and AMD's Ryzen™ 9 5950X (16*2 cores) with 3.6.0 you could get 236K docs per second inserted into a table with schema name text, email string, description text, age int, active bit(1) (default rt_mem_limit, batch size 25000, 16 concurrent insert workers, 16 million docs inserted overall). In 4.0.2 the same concurrency/batch/count gives 357K docs per second.

    • read operations (e.g. SELECTs, replication) are performed with snapshots

    • operations that just change internal index structure without modifying schema/documents (e.g. merging RAM segments, saving disk chunks, merging disk chunks) are performed with read-only snapshots and replace the existing chunks in the end

    • UPDATEs and DELETEs are performed against existing chunks, but for the case of merging that may be happening the writes are collected and are then applied against the new chunks

    • UPDATEs acquire an exclusive lock sequentially for every chunk. Merges acquire a shared lock when entering the stage of collecting attributes from the chunk. So at the same time only one (merge or update) operation has access to attributes of the chunk.

    • when merging gets to the phase, when it needs attributes it sets a special flag. When UPDATE finishes, it checks the flag, and if it's set, the whole update is stored in a special collection. Finally, when the merge finishes, it applies the updates set to the newborn disk chunk.

    • ALTER runs via an exclusive lock

    • replication runs as a usual read operation, but in addition saves the attributes before SST and forbids updates during the SST

  • ALTER can add/remove a full-text field (in RT mode). Previously it could only add/remove an attribute.

  • 🔬 Experimental: pseudo-sharding for full-scan queries - allows to parallelize any non-full-text search query. Instead of preparing shards manually you can now just enable new option searchd.pseudo_sharding and expect up to CPU cores lower response time for non-full-text search queries. Note it can easily occupy all existing CPU cores, so if you care not only about latency, but throughput too - use it with caution.

Minor changes

  • Linux Mint and Ubuntu Hirsute Hippo are supported via APT repository

  • faster update by id via HTTP in big indexes in some cases (depends on the ids distribution)

  • 671e65a2 - added caching to lemmatizer-uk

Breaking changes

  • the new version can read older indexes, but the older versions can't read Manticore 4's indexes

  • removed implicit sorting by id. Sort explicitly if required

  • charset_table's default value changes from 0..9, A..Z->a..z, _, a..z, U+410..U+42F->U+430..U+44F, U+430..U+44F, U+401->U+451, U+451 to non_cjk

  • OPTIMIZE happens automatically. If you don't need it make sure to set auto_optimize=0 in section searchd in the configuration file

  • Issue #616 ondisk_attrs_default were deprecated, now they are removed

  • for contributors: we now use Clang compiler for Linux builds as according to our tests it can build a faster Manticore Search and Manticore Columnar Library

  • if max_matches is not specified in a search query it gets updated implicitly with the lowest needed value for the sake of performance of the new columnar storage. It can affect metric total in SHOW META, but not total_found which is the actual number of found documents.

Migration from Manticore 3

  • make sure you a stop Manticore 3 cleanly:

    • no binlog files should be in /var/lib/manticore/binlog/ (only binlog.meta should be in the directory)

    • otherwise the indexes Manticore 4 can't reply binlogs for won't be run

  • the new version can read older indexes, but the older versions can't read Manticore 4's indexes, so make sure you make a backup if you want to be able to rollback the new version easily

  • if you run a replication cluster make sure you:

    • stop all your nodes first cleanly

    • and then start the node which was stopped last with --new-cluster (run tool manticore_new_cluster in Linux).

    • read about restarting a cluster for more details

Bugfixes

  • Lots of replication issues have been fixed:

    • Commit 696f - fixed crash during SST on joiner with active index; added sha1 verify at joiner node at writing file chunks to speed up index loading; added rotation of changed index files at joiner node on index load; added removal of index files at joiner node when active index gets replaced by a new index from donor node; added replication log points at donor node for sending files and chunks

    • Commit b296 - crash on JOIN CLUSTER in case the address is incorrect

    • Commit 418b - while initial replication of a large index the joining node could fail with ERROR 1064 (42000): invalid GTID, (null), the donor could become unresponsive while another node was joining

    • Commit 6fd3 - hash could be calculated wrong for a big index which could result in replication failure

    • Issue #615 - replication failed on cluster restart

  • Issue #574 - indextool --help doesn't display parameter --rotate

  • Issue #578 - searchd high CPU usage while idle after ca. a day

  • Issue #587 - flush .meta immediately

  • Issue #617 - manticore.json gets emptied

  • Issue #618 - searchd --stopwait fails under root. It also fixes systemctl behaviour (previously it was showing failure for ExecStop and didn't wait long enough for searchd to stop properly)

  • Issue #619 - INSERT/REPLACE/DELETE vs SHOW STATUS. command_insert, command_replace and others were showing wrong metrics

  • Issue #620 - charset_table for a plain index had a wrong default value

  • Commit 8f75 - new disk chunks don't get mlocked

  • Issue #607 - Manticore cluster node crashes when unable to resolve a node by name

  • Issue #623 - replication of updated index can lead to undefined state

  • Commit ca03 - indexer could hang on indexing a plain index source with a json attribute

  • Commit 53c7 - fixed not equal expression filter at PQ index

  • Commit ccf9 - fixed select windows at list queries above 1000 matches. SELECT * FROM pq ORDER BY id desc LIMIT 1000 , 100 OPTION max_matches=1100 was not working previously

  • Commit a048 - HTTPS request to Manticore could cause warning like "max packet size(8388608) exceeded"

  • Issue #648 - Manticore 3 could hang after a few updates of string attributes

Version 3.6.0, May 3rd 2021

Maintenance release before Manticore 4

Major new features

  • Support for Manticore Columnar Library for plain indexes. New setting columnar_attrs for plain indexes

  • Support for Ukrainian Lemmatizer

  • Fully revised histograms. When building an index Manticore also builds histograms for each field in it, which it then uses for faster filtering. In 3.6.0 the algorithm was fully revised and you can get a higher performance if you have a lot of data and do a lot of filtering.

Minor changes

Optimizations

  • faster JSON parsing, our tests show 3-4% lower latency on queries like WHERE json.a = 1

  • non-documented command DEBUG SPLIT as a prerequisite for automatic sharding/rebalancing

Bugfixes

  • Issue #584 - inaccurate and unstable FACET results

  • Issue #506 - Strange behavior when using MATCH: those who suffer from this issue need to rebuild the index as the problem was on the phase of building an index

  • Issue #387 - intermittent core dump when running query with SNIPPET() function

  • Stack optimizations useful for processing complex queries:

  • Issue #461 - Update using the IN condition does not take effect correctly

  • Issue #464 - SHOW STATUS immediately after CALL PQ returns - Issue #481 - Fixed static binary build

  • Issue #502 - bug in multi-queries

  • Issue #514 - Unable to use unusual names for columns when use 'create table'

  • Commit d1db - daemon crash on replay binlog with update of string attribute; set binlog version to 10

  • Commit 775d - fixed expression stack frame detection runtime (test 207)

  • Commit 4795 - percolate index filter and tags were empty for empty stored query (test 369)

  • Commit c3f0 - breaks of replication SST flow at network with long latency and high error rate (different data centers replication); updated replication command version to 1.03

  • Commit ba2d - joiner lock cluster on write operations after join into cluster (test 385)

  • Commit de4d - wildcards matching with exact modifier (test 321)

  • Commit 6524 - docid checkpoints vs docstore

  • Commit f4ab - Inconsistent indexer behavior when parsing invalid xml

  • Commit 7b72 - Stored percolate query with NOTNEAR runs forever (test 349)

  • Commit 812d - wrong weight for phrase starting with wildcard

  • Commit 1771 - percolate query with wildcards generate terms without payload on matching causes interleaved hits and breaks matching (test 417)

  • Commit aa0d - fixed calculation of 'total' in case of parallelized query

  • Commit 18d8 - crash in Windows with multiple concurrent sessions at daemon

  • Commit 8443 - some index settings could not be replicated

  • Commit 9341 - On high rate of adding new events netloop sometimes freeze because of atomic 'kick' event being processed once for several events a time and loosing actual actions from them status of the query, not the server status

  • Commit d805 - New flushed disk chunk might be lost on commit

  • Commit 63cb - inaccurate 'net_read' in profiler

  • Commit f537 - Percolate issue with arabic (right to left texts)

  • Commit 49ee - id not picked correctly on duplicate column name

  • Commit refa of network events to fix a crash in rare cases

  • e8420cc7 fix in indextool --dumpheader

  • Commit ff71 - TRUNCATE WITH RECONFIGURE worked wrong with stored fields

Breaking changes:

  • New binlog format: you need to make a clean stop of Manticore before upgrading

  • Index format slightly changes: the new version can read you existing indexes fine, but if you decide to downgrade from 3.6.0 to an older version the newer indexes will be unreadable

  • Replication format change: don't replicate from an older version to 3.6.0 and vice versa, switch to the new version on all your nodes at once

  • reverse_scan is deprecated. Make sure you don't use this option in your queries since 3.6.0 since they will fail otherwise

  • As of this release we don't provide builds for RHEL6, Debian Jessie and Ubuntu Trusty any more. If it's mission critical for you to have them supported contact us

Deprecations

  • No more implicit sorting by id. If you rely on it make sure to update your queries accordingly

  • Search option reverse_scan has been deprecated

Version 3.5.4, Dec 10 2020

New Features

  • New Python, Javascript and Java clients are generally available now and are well documented in this manual.

  • automatic drop of a disk chunk of a real-time index. This optimization enables dropping a disk chunk automatically when OPTIMIZing a real-time index when the chunk is obviously not needed any more (all the documents are suppressed). Previously it still required merging, now the chunk can be just dropped instantly. The cutoff option is ignored, i.e. even if nothing is actually merged an obsoleted disk chunk gets removed. This is useful in case you maintain retention in your index and delete older documents. Now compacting such indexes will be faster.

  • standalone NOT as an option for SELECT

Minor Changes

Deprecations

  • indexer --verbose is deprecated as it never added anything to the indexer output

  • For dumping watchdog's backtrace signal USR2 is now to be used instead of USR1

Bugfixes

  • Issue #423 cyrillic char period call snippets retain mode don't highlight

  • Issue #435 RTINDEX - GROUP N BY expression select = fatal crash

  • Commit 2b3b searchd status shows Segmentation fault when in cluster

  • Commit 9dd2 'SHOW INDEX index.N SETTINGS' doesn't address chunks >9

  • Issue #389 Bug that crashes Manticore

  • Commit fba1 Converter creates broken indexes

  • Commit eecd stopword_step=0 vs CALL SNIPPETS()

  • Commit ea68 count distinct returns 0 at low max_matches on a local index

  • Commit 362f When using aggregation stored texts are not returned in hits

Version 3.5.2, Oct 1 2020

New features

  • OPTIMIZE reduces disk chunks to a number of chunks ( default is 2* No. of cores) instead of a single one. The optimal number of chunks can be controlled by cutoff option.

  • NOT operator can be now used standalone. By default it is disabled since accidental single NOT queries can be slow. It can be enabled by setting new searchd directive not_terms_only_allowed to 0.

  • New setting max_threads_per_query sets how many threads a query can use. If the directive is not set, a query can use threads up to the value of threads. Per SELECT query the number of threads can be limited with OPTION threads=N overriding the global max_threads_per_query.

  • Percolate indexes can be now be imported with IMPORT TABLE.

  • HTTP API /search receives basic support for faceting/grouping by new query node aggs.

Minor changes

  • If no replication listen directive is declared, the engine will try to use ports after the defined 'sphinx' port, up to 200.

  • listen=...:sphinx needs to be explicit set for SphinxSE connections or SphinxAPI clients.

  • SHOW INDEX STATUS outputs new metrics: killed_documents, killed_rate, disk_mapped_doclists, disk_mapped_cached_doclists, disk_mapped_hitlists and disk_mapped_cached_hitlists.

  • SQL command status now outputs Queue\Threads and Tasks\Threads.

Deprecations:

  • dist_threads is completely deprecated now, searchd will log a warning if the directive is still used.

Docker

The official Docker image is now based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Packaging

Besides the usual manticore package, you can also install Manticore Search by components:

  • manticore-server-core - provides searchd, manpage, log dir, API and galera module. It will also install manticore-common as the dependency.

  • manticore-server - provides automation scripts for core (init.d, systemd), and manticore_new_cluster wrapper. It will also install manticore-server-core as the dependency.

  • manticore-common - provides config, stopwords, generic docs and skeleton folders (datadir, modules, etc.)

  • manticore-tools - provides auxiliary tools ( indexer, indextool etc.), their manpages and examples. It will also install manticore-common as the dependency.

  • manticore-icudata (RPM) or manticore-icudata-65l (DEB) - provides ICU data file for icu morphology usage.

  • manticore-devel (RPM) or manticore-dev (DEB) - provides dev headers for UDFs.

Version 3.5.0, 22 Jul 2020

Major new features:

  • This release took so long, because we were working hard on changing multitasking mode from threads to coroutines. It makes configuration simpler and queries parallelization much more straightforward: Manticore just uses given number of threads (see new setting threads) and the new mode makes sure it's done in the most optimal way.

  • Changes in highlighting:

    • any highlighting that works with several fields (highlight({},'field1, field2') or highlight in json queries) now applies limits per-field by default.

    • any highlighting that works with plain text (highlight({}, string_attr) or snippet() now applies limits to the whole document.

    • per-field limits can be switched to global limits by limits_per_field=0 option (1 by default).

    • allow_empty is now 0 by default for highlighting via HTTP JSON.

  • The same port can now be used for http, https and binary API (to accept connections from a remote Manticore instance). listen = *:mysql is still required for connections via mysql protocol. Manticore now detects automatically the type of client trying to connect to it except for MySQL (due to restrictions of the protocol).

  • In RT mode a field can now be text and string attribute at the same time - GitHub issue #331.

    In plain mode it's called sql_field_string. Now it's available in RT mode for real-time indexes too. You can use it as shown in the example:

    create table t(f string attribute indexed);
insert into t values(0,'abc','abc');
select * from t where match('abc');
+---------------------+------+
| id                  | f    |
+---------------------+------+
| 2810845392541843463 | abc  |
+---------------------+------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> select * from t where f='abc';
+---------------------+------+
| id                  | f    |
+---------------------+------+
| 2810845392541843463 | abc  |
+---------------------+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Minor changes

Breaking changes:

  • Index format has been changed. Indexes built in 3.5.0 cannot be loaded by Manticore version < 3.5.0, but Manticore 3.5.0 understands older formats.

  • INSERT INTO PQ VALUES() (i.e. without providing column list) previously expected exactly (query, tags) as the values. It's been changed to (id,query,tags,filters). The id can be set to 0 if you want it to be auto-generated.

  • allow_empty=0 is a new default in highlighting via HTTP JSON interface.

  • Only absolute paths are allowed for external files (stopwords, exceptions etc.) in CREATE TABLE/ALTER TABLE.

Deprecations:

  • ram_chunks_count was renamed to ram_chunk_segments_count in SHOW INDEX STATUS.

  • workers is obsolete. There's only one workers mode now.

  • dist_threads is obsolete. All queries are as much parallel as possible now (limited by threads and jobs_queue_size).

  • max_children is obsolete. Use threads to set the number of threads Manticore will use (set to the # of CPU cores by default).

  • queue_max_length is obsolete. Instead of that in case it's really needed use jobs_queue_size to fine-tune internal jobs queue size (unlimited by default).

  • All /json/* endpoints are now available w/o /json/, e.g. /search, /insert, /delete, /pq etc.

  • field meaning "full-text field" was renamed to "text" in describe. 3.4.2:

    mysql> describe t;
+-------+--------+----------------+
| Field | Type   | Properties     |
+-------+--------+----------------+
| id    | bigint |                |
| f     | field  | indexed stored |
+-------+--------+----------------+

    3.5.0:

    mysql> describe t;
+-------+--------+----------------+
| Field | Type   | Properties     |
+-------+--------+----------------+
| id    | bigint |                |
| f     | text   | indexed stored |
+-------+--------+----------------+

  • Cyrillic и doesn't map to i in non_cjk charset_table (which is a default) as it affected Russian stemmers and lemmatizers too much.

  • read_timeout. Use network_timeout instead which controls both reading and writing.

Packages

  • Ubuntu Focal 20.04 official package

  • deb package name changed from manticore-bin to manticore
