Redis Enterprise Software 5.0.2 is now available. Key features include functional and performance updates for CRDB, changes to module deployment, and general fixes.

Overview

If you are upgrading from a previous version, make sure to review the upgrade instructions before beginning the upgrade process.

You can upgrade to RS 5.0.2 from RS 4.4.2 and above. If you have a version older than 4.4.2, you must first upgrade to at least 5.0.

{{< note >}} Starting from RS 5.0.2, ports 3338 and 3339 should also be opened on each node for the purpose of internal cluster communication. For more information, check the ['network port configurations']({{< relref "/operate/rs/networking/port-configurations.md" >}}) page {{< /note >}}

Known limitations

  • Since Redis Enterprise CRDBs have counters, unlike traditional Redis databases, they must be handled differently when importing. There is a special type of import because of importing counter data types. When performing the import through the admin console, you will be prompted to confirm you want to add the data to the CRDB or stop and go flush the database.
  • This version of RS comes with a pre-bundled python which might over-ride your default installed python version, this can be solved by changing your PATH environment variable.
  • Uploading a Redis Module through the admin console, can be performed only when the admin console is connected to the master node.
  • Write operations are not allowed for database which was created with password of exactly 50-characters.
