Timeplus Enterprise 2.7

Each release of Timeplus Enterprise includes the following components:

• timeplusd: The core SQL engine
• timeplus_appserver: The application server providing web console access and REST API
• timeplus_web: The web console static resources, managed by timeplus_appserver
• timeplus_connector: The service providing extra sources and sinks, managed by timeplus_appserver
• timeplus: The CLI (Command Line Interface) to start/stop/manage the deployment.

Each component maintains its own version numbers. The version number for each Timeplus Enterprise release represents a verified combination of these components.

Key Highlights

Key highlights of this release:

• Stream processing for files in S3 buckets: With the new S3 external table, Timeplus Enterprise now supports writing stream processing results to S3 buckets, or reading files in S3.
• Join the latest data from MySQL or ClickHouse via dictionary: You can now create a dictionary to store key-value pairs in memory or a mutable stream, with data from various sources, such as files, MySQL/ClickHouse databases, or streams in Timeplus.
• PostgreSQL and MySQL CDC via Redpanda Connect: Timeplus Enterprise now supports CDC (Change Data Capture) for PostgreSQL and MySQL databases via Redpanda Connect. This feature enables real-time data ingestion from these databases into Timeplus.
• Support IAM authentication for accessing Amazon MSK: Avoid storing static credentials in Kafka external streams by setting sasl_mechanism to AWS_MSK_IAM.
• Load the credentials from HashiCorp Vault or local file system for all external streams or external tables.
• Mutable stream delete: You can now delete data from mutable streams with the DELETE SQL command.
• Cluster monitoring and materialized view troubleshooting: Significant improvements in web console for multi-node cluster monitoring and troubleshooting.
• Python UDF: You can now create user-defined functions (UDFs) in Python to extend the functionality of Timeplus with rich ecosystem of Python. It's currently in technical preview for Linux x86_64 only.

Supported OS

Deployment Type	OS
Linux bare metal	x64 or ARM chips: Ubuntu 20.04+, RHEL 8+, Fedora 35+, Amazon Linux 2023
Mac bare metal	Intel or Apple chips: macOS 14, macOS 15
Kubernetes	Kubernetes 1.25+, with Helm 3.12+

Upgrade Guide

1. Direct upgrades from version 2.3 or earlier are not supported. Please perform a clean installation of 2.7.x and utilize timeplus sync CLI or Timeplus External Stream for data migration.
2. For bare metal users, you can upgrade from Timeplus Enterprise 2.6 to 2.7 by stopping components and replacing binary files.
3. For Kubernetes users, please follow the guide carefully since a few timeplusd built-in users are removed in the new helm chart, and you can configure ingress for Appserver and Timeplusd independently.
