Revision 156/136

Thursday, July 4, 2024

Dear community,

We are glad to report that we have just released a new updated version for Charmed ZooKeeper on the 3/stable channel, upgrading its revision from 126 to 136. The release of a new version was promoted by the need of backporting some features that should provide increased robustness and resilience during operation as well as smaller workload upgrades and fixes. See the technical notes for further information.

Please reach out should you have any question, comment, feedback or information. You can find us here in Matrix or also on Discourse.

Technical notes

  • Rev126 on Charmed ZooKeeper was observed to sporadically trigger ZooKeeper reconfiguration of the clusters by removing all server but the Juju leader from the ZooKeeper quorum. This leads to a non-highly available cluster, that it is however still up and running. The reconfiguration generally resulted from some glitch and connection drop with the Juju controller that resulted in transient inconsistent databag of juju events. This was once observed during a controller upgrade (see reported bug on Juju), but its occurrence is not limited to it. The current revision provides more robust logic (ticket DPE-4183) to avoid dynamic reconfiguration in such cases.
  • Upgrades from previous stable versions can be done with the standard upgrading process, as outlined in the documentation
