v1.9.1 🌈

v1.9.1

Release Notes for starrocks-kubernetes-operator v1.9.1

We are thrilled to announce the release of StarRocks Kubernetes Operator v1.9.1. This release introduces several
enhancements and bug fixes to improve the user experience of deploying and managing StarRocks
clusters on Kubernetes.

What's New

There are enhancements in this release.

1. [chart] When you set logStorageSize to 0, the operator will not create PVC for log storage #398.
2. [operator] Checked volumes and mount paths to avoid duplication error #388
3. [operator] Disabled FE scale to 1 #394
4. [operator] Supported use of map to define feEnvVars/beEnvVars/cnEnvVars to merge on multiple values files (#396)
5. [operator] exposed spec.containers.securityContext.capabilities for user to customize the capabilities of containers. #404

BugFix

1. [operator] Supported to update service annotations fields #402 #399
2. [operator] Switched to using patch method instead of update method to modify statefulset and deployment #397.
   This solves the problem that when CN + HPA is enabled, upgrading CN will cause all CN pods to be terminated and
   restarted.
3. [operator] Switched to using Patch method instead of Update to modify service object #387. This solves the
   problem that when cloud provider is used, the service object will be modified by cloud provider, and the operator
   will overwrite the modification.
