PuppetDB 3.0.2 Release Notes
----------------------------
PuppetDB 3.0.2 is a bugfix release to address performance issues with the
aggregate-event-count and fact-paths endpoints as well as memory starvation
involving structured-facts.
Previously PuppetDB cached prepared statements for SQL queries. This caused memory starvation involving structured-facts where large structured-facts would create a new prepared statement object for each update. The large objects would accumulate in the cache due to the non-zero cache size. This release addresses this issue in two ways, by disabling the cache and changing the structured-facts update queries to be more efficient. (https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PDB-1721)
Given a large number of nodes and reports, consumers of the aggregate-event-counts endpoint were experiencing slow response times. These performance issues have have been addressed in this release. One notable outcome from these fixes is that the endpoint no longer requires a query parameter. (https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PDB-1809)
Some PuppetDB tables were never analyzed by the autovacuum analyzer which led to performance issues with the fact-paths endpoint. This release adds code to perform the analyze whenever PuppetDB schema are updated. (https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PDB-1812)
This release fixes an issue where the `max-frame-size` parameter was being ignored by consumers of the command queue, causing large commands to produce stacktraces in the PuppetDB log. (https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PDB-1812)
