v3.5.0-alpha

Major features

1. Removal of Rsync

• In v3.5.0-alpha, we removed Rsync and replaced it with a self-developed full synchronization scheme, which has the features of breakpoint continuation, rate limit, file inspection and so on

2. Compatibility with More Redis Commands

• More Redis commands are compatible and supported in v3.5.0-alpha.

3. RocksDB Version Upgrade and Tiered Compression

• In v3.5.0-alpha, we upgraded RocksDB to version v8.1.1 and implemented tiered compression.

4. Support for BlobDB:

• In v3.5.0-alpha, we added support for BlobDB KV separation.

5. Cluster Mode based on Codis

• In v3.5.0-alpha, we introduced the Codis Cluster Mode and added support for the command to migrate Codis slots.

6.Observability

• In v3.5.0-alpha, we introduced the pika_exporter tool to monitor the observability metrics of Pika. Subsequently, we added several new metrics to enhance Pika's observability.

7.Cloud-Native Deployment

• In v3.5.0-alpha, we introduced an MVP version of pika-operator, which focuses on enabling the quick deployment of a single-instance Pika service on Kubernetes.

8.Cross-platform compilation

• In v3.5.0-alpha, Pika supports cross-platform compilation and can be compiled and used on MacOS, CentOS, and Ubuntu platforms.
