5.0.2
WEKA Data Platform is now NeuralMeshTM by WEKA. This version introduces the following enhancements.
Platform enhancements
Single-hop writes: Improves write throughput with single-hop writes. This feature enables large write operations to send data blocks directly from the frontend to the drive container, bypassing the compute container.
Shared-core persistent clients: Persistent clients can now operate without dedicated cores, allowing for the sharing of compute resources that might otherwise be dedicated to clients.
Drive pools: When adding a drive to a new cluster, you can use pools to organize capacity by indirection unit size.
Audit and forwarding new topic: This feature provides continuous event streams that record data access, modifications, and deletions, enabling organizations to monitor and respond to activity across their storage environment for enhanced security and compliance. >>>
S3 enhancements
S3 open connection tracking: Introduces open connection tracking to measure active S3 clients. This enhancement improves the monitoring of active client sessions.
NFS enhancements
Increased NFS floating IPs: Increases the maximum number of floating IPs for NFS from 50 to 200, allowing greater scalability for customers with a large number of NFS clients.
Client enhancements
Configurable client verbosity: Clients now have configurable verbosity settings for the WEKA Agent, using conventional syslog log levels.
Client telemetry relay: Supports relaying telemetry and statistics from clients to WEKA Home through backend servers.
5.0.1
WEKA Data Platform 5.0.1 focuses on delivering innovation to WEKA customers and contains the following enhancements:
Release highlights:
RDMA enablement: RDMA is now enabled by default when using RDMA-capable network interfaces.
Container deactivation check: Introduced a new command and API to simulate container deactivation to assess whether the operation can be performed safely without impacting the cluster. CLI:
weka cluster container deactivation-check <Container-ids>
API: POST/containers/deactivation-checkNew snapshot APIs: Added two APIs to support efficient paging through changes between points-in-time. See the
/Snapshots/diffPrepare
and/snapshot/difflist
APIs documentation for details. >>>
S3 enhancements:
GET request optimization: Performance improvements for most GET requests, achieving up to a 70% increase in efficiency.
Zero-copy architecture extension: The WEKA zero-copy architecture now applies to S3, reducing both memory usage and system call overhead.
New SLB metrics: Added statistics to track traffic distribution across adjacent SLBs: SLB_1xx_RQ, SLB_2xx_RQ, SLB_3xx_RQ, SLB_4xx_RQ, and SLB_5xx_RQ.
Additional enhancements:
Support for Debian 12 clients running Linux kernel 6.6.
Support for the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) shape VM.Standard.E5.Flex.
Deprecations:
The legacy SMB protocol is no longer included with the WEKA Data Platform.
