    Tair (Redis® OSS-Compatible):Release notes for Tair minor versions

    Last Updated:May 13, 2025

    Alibaba Cloud releases minor versions of Tair from time to time to provide new features, fix known issues, and improve user experience. This topic describes the release notes for minor versions of Tair. We recommend that you update minor versions of instances during off-peak hours.

    View or update the minor version of an instance

    You can view the current minor version of an instance in the console. For information about the update operations and usage notes, see Update the minor version of an instance.

    Important

    • The system automatically detects the minor version of an instance. If the instance is of the latest minor version, the Minor Version Update button is not displayed or is dimmed.

    • Minor version updates may differ from region to region. The minor version of an instance displayed in the console prevails.

    Introduction to Tair (Enterprise Edition)

    The rapid development of the Internet makes business scenarios more diverse and complex. To meet the changing requirements, Tair (Enterprise Edition), as a high-availability and high-performance NoSQL database service, provides multiple series types of instances based on storage mediums such as DRAM, NVM, and ESSDs. These series types are developed to meet your requirements for low-latency access, data persistence, and reduced overall costs, and provide higher performance, more data structures, and more flexible storage methods. This helps you meet business requirements in different scenarios.

    Tair instance series are compatible with multiple open source Redis versions.

    • Tair DRAM-based instances that are compatible with Redis 7.0: Redis 7.0 and earlier. In addition, this instance series supports the extended data structures of Tair.

    • Tair DRAM-based instances that are compatible with Redis 6.0: Redis 6.2 and earlier. In addition, this instance series supports the extended data structures of Tair.

    • Tair DRAM-based instances that are compatible with Redis 5.0: Redis 5.0 and earlier. In addition, this instance series supports the extended data structures of Tair.

    • Tair persistent memory-optimized instances: Redis 6.0 and earlier. This instance series has limits on specific commands. For more information, see Limits on commands supported by Tair (Enterprise Edition).

    • Tair ESSD/SSD-based instances: Redis 6.0 and earlier. This instance series has limits on specific commands. For more information, see Limits on commands supported by Tair (Enterprise Edition).

    24.3.2.1

    MEDIUM

    2024-03-18

    Feature optimization

    • The capability of TairVector to perform scalar filtering before vector similarity search is enhanced.

    24.3.1.0

    LOW

    2024-03-11

    Feature optimization

    • Metadata is not immediately created after the SELECT command for switching between multiple databases is run. Databases and their metadata are created when data is read from or written to the databases. This optimization aims to prevent metadata bloat caused by Redis management tools that iterate through all databases.

    • The efficiency of expiration check on an instance that has multiple databases is improved. The system proportionally distributes tasks to delete expired data across the databases based on the amount of expired data in each database.

    24.3.0.0

    MEDIUM

    2024-03-07

    Feature optimization

    • An instance can be rolled back within seconds when the configurations of the instance fail to be changed. This prevents the instance from becoming unavailable due to a failed configuration change.

      Note

      However, metadata consumes a large amount of memory when a large number of logical databases are used. If this issue occurs, update the minor version of your instance to 24.3.2.2 or later. This issue is fixed in these minor versions.

    • The SWAPDB, COPY, and MOVE commands can be run on a cluster instance to manage data across different databases in the instance.

    Fixed issue

    • The following issue is fixed: If the LIMIT option in the ZRANGEBYSCORE command is set to an excessively large value, an out of memory (OOM) error may occur due to the pre-allocation of a large amount of memory in the database.

    24.1.0.0

    MEDIUM

    2024-01-23

    Feature optimization

    • TairVector allows you to create inverted indexes for scalar data such as tag attributes, and provides the k-nearest neighbor (KNN) search feature. During retrieval, TairVector filters the dataset based on the scalar attributes and then applies the KNN algorithm for vector search on the filtered results.

    Fixed issue

    • The following issue is fixed: An instance may stop responding when the GETDEL command does not run as expected.

    • The following issue is fixed: The last-entry information is incorrect in the output of the XINFO STREAM command.

    • Specific issues related to TairVector are fixed to enhance stability.

    • The speed at which cluster instances are scaled can be adaptively controlled.

      Note

      During scaling operations, the speed at which historical data is cleared is well adapted to instance loads. For example, more CPU cores are used for clearance in low-load scenarios to increase the clearance speed.

      Note

      If this feature is enabled, logs are transmitted from a master node to a replica node after the data update that is initiated by the client is complete on the master node. After the replica node receives all logs, the master node returns the log transmission information to the client. If a replica node is unavailable or communication between a master node and a replica node is abnormal, semi-synchronous replication degrades to asynchronous replication.

    • In the output of the INFO command, the redis_version value is changed to 4.9.9 and the pena_version parameter is added to indicate the minor version.

    1.1.3

    LOW

    2020-09-16

    First release

    Persistent memory-optimized instances of Tair (Enterprise Edition) provide in-memory database services based on persistent memory (PMEM). These instances are compatible with open source Redis and provide large capacity. Persistent memory-optimized instances provide the following benefits:

    • A persistent memory-optimized instance costs approximately 30% less than a Redis Open-Source Edition instance.

    • In scenarios where advanced memory specifications are used, persistent memory-optimized instances resolve issues such as high latency, high network jitter, and slow service data loading during fork operations triggered by AOF rewrites. You do not need to choose between performance and persistence.

    First release

    ESSD-based instances of Tair (Enterprise Edition) are independently developed based on the TairDB key-value storage engine and use ESSDs to store data. These instances provide high-capacity, low-cost, and persistent database services. ESSD-based instances provide the following benefits:

    • ESSD-based instances store data in cloud disks to implement data persistence at a cost as low as 15% of Redis Open-Source Edition instances.

    • ESSD-based instances use multiple I/O threads and worker nodes to improve throughput on each server and support replication of binary logs between master and replica nodes.

    • ESSD-based instances are compatible with most of the open source Redis commands.

    • ESSD-based instances reduce the amount of memory that is reserved for the forks of open source Redis.
