WEKA version

Description of changes

5.0.3

NeuralMesh by WEKA addresses key field priorities for WEKA customers and includes the following enhancements:

Improved HA failover performance: Significantly faster failover mechanism for High Availability (HA) in switch failure scenarios involving physically diverse network paths.
Expanded platform support: Added support for NVIDIA GB200 platform and Linux kernel version 6.14.
Upgrade compatibility fixes: Improved upgrade paths from versions 4.3.5 and 4.4.8 to 5.0.3 on Microsoft Azure.

5.0.2

WEKA Data Platform is now NeuralMesh^TM by WEKA. This version introduces the following 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 open connection tracking: Introduces open connection tracking to measure active S3 clients. This enhancement improves the monitoring of active client sessions.

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.

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-check
New 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.
