WEKA versionDescription of changes

4.3.3

  • NFS locking is fully supported for protocol versions 3 and 4, and configurable through global parameters.

  • Added support for additional QLC drives for higher density deployments while maintaining high performance and longevity standards.

  • SMB-W performance is optimized for macOS clients.

  • SMB-W share access now supports allow and deny statements based on IP address.

  • For Windows clients with many top-level entities, folder options appear without delay.

  • WEKA client support extended to Rocky 8.9, Rocky 9.3, and Oracle Linux 9.

4.3.2

  • Added graceful container management to ensure safe stopping or restarting of a container. See Graceful container management: ensuring safe actions.

  • Added the WEKA Cloud Deployment Manager (CDM) User Guide, simplifying the deployment of WEKA clusters in public cloud environments (including AWS, Azure, and GCP).

  • A new algorithm for multi-part uploads is now the default, decreasing resource overhead for most customers using WEKA S3.

  • WEKA S3 response codes are now in weka stats, with types and categories listed under Operation (Envoy). See List of statistics.

  • WEKA S3 logs now report real remote client addresses via the X-Forwarded-For header.

  • The default memory limit for SMB-W containers has been raised to 32GB to accommodate trends in customer requirements related to SMB protocol performance.

4.3.1

4.3.0

  • Initial support for ARM, specifically for ARM-based EC2 instances in AWS. To reflect the instruction set architecture of hosts in a cluster, APIs, and commands like the Weka cluster server list now contain an architecture column.

  • Synchronized snapshots have been re-enabled.

  • A new --client-only flag in the weka version get and weka version set commands. When used, this flag ensures that only components necessary for stateless clients are considered for installation.

  • Discontinued support for Intel processor families SandyBridge (2011) and IvyBridge (2012).

  • Discontinued support for the legacy NFS stack in 4.3.0. If legacy NFS is enabled, upgrading to 4.3.0 will fail.

  • weka alerts command output update The muted column is removed from the weka alerts command output unless --muted or -v is provided.

  • weka nfs interface-group add command update The manage-gids parameter, which was always set to true, has been eliminated from the weka nfs interface-group add command and associated API.

  • weka fs tier s3 command output update The following columns have been removed from the weka fs tier s3 command output: NODES UP, NODES DOWN, and NODES UNKNOWN. Instead, more detailed columns have been added in the verbose output (using -v).
