Percona announces the release of Percona Server for MongoDB 3.6.10-3.0 on February 6, 2019. Download the latest version from the Percona website or the Percona Software Repositories. This
release is also available for Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish).
Percona Server for MongoDB is an enhanced, open source, and highly-scalable database that is a fully-compatible, drop-in replacement for MongoDB 3.6 Community Edition. It supports MongoDB 3.6 protocols and drivers.
Percona Server for MongoDB extends Community Edition functionality by including the Percona Memory Engine storage engine, as well as several enterprise-grade features. It also includes MongoRocks storage engine (which is now deprecated). Percona Server for MongoDB requires no changes to MongoDB applications or code.
In Percona Server for MongoDB 3.6.10-3.0, data at rest encryption becomes GA. The data at rest encryption feature now covers the temporary files used for external sorting and the rollback files. You can decrypt and examine the contents of the rollback files using the new perconadecrypt command line tool.
In this release, Percona Server for MongoDB supports the ngram full-text search engine. Thanks to Sunguck Lee (@SunguckLee) for this contribution. To enable the ngram full-text search engine, create an index passing ngram to the default_language
parameter:
mongo > db.collection.createIndex({name:"text"}, {default_language: "ngram"})
New Features
- PSMDB-276: perconadecrypt tool is now available for decrypting the encrypted rollback files.
- PSMDB-250: The Ngram full-text search engine has been added to Percona Server for MongoDB. Thanks to @SunguckLee on GitHub
Bugs Fixed
- PSMDB-234: It was possible to use a key file for encryption the owner of which was not the owner of the
mongod
process. - PSMDB-269: In some cases, a hot backup was not using the correct path to the
keydb
directory designated for data encryption. - PSMDB-273: When using data at rest encryption, temporary files for external sorting and rollback files were not encrypted
- PSMDB-272: mongos could crash when running the createBackup command.
- PSMDB-233: WiredTiger encryption options were silently ignored at server startup, although a storage engine different from WiredTiger was used.
- PSMDB-257: MongoDB could not be started with a group-readable
key file
owned byroot
. - PSMDB-266: In some cases, it was possible to add arbitrary collections to the
keydb
directory which may only store encryption data.
Other bugs fixed: PSMDB-239, PSMDB-243
