v3.0.0-beta.0

Today we're announcing etcd v3.0.0-beta.0, the first pre-release of etcd 3.0.

What’s Beta?

This beta release includes all major features planned for etcd 3.0. These features have all been internally tested. We do not expect significant changes to the v3 API after this release, and the system is generally considered ready for use. However, we cannot test all possible configurations, and etcd 3.0 needs user testing before being declared ready for production use. Please help test the new features in your environment and give feedback to the team.

Notable Enhancements

We released etcd v2.0.0 a year ago. etcd v3 incorporates much expert feedback and thousands of hours of production use by the etcd community. The v3 API solves many issues related to etcd v2 scalability, with a new storage engine, and a new API fully supporting Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC). All v3 API calls are served via gRPC and HTTP/2. For more detail, please see this performance documentation.

What’s new?

Some highlights of etcd 3.0 server improvements:

• Improved latency and throughput
• Lower per key memory overhead
• Automatic TLS configuration

Some highlights of the new etcd3 API:

• Flat binary keyspace
• No key-value hierarchy / directories
  • Support query/watch by prefix
• Transactions: combine multiple requests into one operation
• Leases: a single TTL for sets of keys
• Maintenance/Alarm: protect etcd against unexpected shutdown, with disk quota limits

Some highlights of new etcdctl:

• Mirror: mirror etcd to another data center
• Lock: mutex on top of etcd
• Elect: leader election
• Snapshot: stores point-in-time state of etcd backend
• Endpoint: health checking

There are many more additions, improvements, and fixes. We will cover them all in the stable release notes.

What’s next?

Our highest priority is to polish the etcd 3.0 beta as it makes the last few steps toward a stable release. The 3.0.0 release will also include additional improvements:

• Authentication
• Better documentation
• Tools and guides for migrating from etcd v2.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the release!

v2.3.3

Today we're announcing etcd v2.3.3.

This is a minor bug-fix release. GH3762 introduced a regression where updating a user with an empty password can overwrite the previous password. All releases after 2.3.0-alpha.0 are affected. If you run etcd of version 2.3.0-alpha.0 or higher with auth feature enabled, we strongly recommend the upgrade.

v2.3.0

We are pleased to announce etcd 2.3.0. etcd 2.3 contains many new features, improvements and a stable v2 auth API.

etcd 2.3 is fully compatible with etcd 2.2. Upgrading from etcd 2.2 to etcd 2.3 is a zero-downtime rolling upgrade. The basic approach is to upgrade a cluster running etcd 2.2 by upgrading each member, one-by-one, to etcd 2.3. For more details, please read the upgrade guide.

Also, with this release, etcd 2.3 is the current stable etcd release. All bug fixes and feature improvements will go into new etcd 2.3.x releases, and won't normally be backported to etcd 2.2.x.

New features

Strict runtime reconfiguration check

In version 2.3, etcd will reject reconfiguration that might cause quorum loss when strict checking is enabled. For example, when adding new members to an existing cluster, it is recommended to add one member at a time, because the quorum increases whether the new member is reachable or not. Adding multiple unreachable peers can actually cause the cluster to lose quorum. The new --strict-reconfig-check option causes etcd to reject such membership change requests, and prevents quorum loss due to newly-added, but as-yet unreachable, members.

Runtime profiling

Enable runtime profiling by specifying the --enable-pprof option to etcd. Profiling data is available over HTTP at a new /debug/pprof URL. Endpoints are served by the net/http/pprof package. Please visit the net/http/pprof documentation for more detail.

Refreshing TTL keys

Time-to-Live (TTL) keys in etcd now can be refreshed without notifying watchers. This avoids generating noisy traffic when a watcher is only interested in the expiration of TTL keys, and doesn’t care about refresh updates. For more details, please check the API doc

Experimental v3 support

v3 server

etcd 2.3 is first release of etcd that supports the experimental v3 API, including the cluster, kv, lease, and watcher APIs.

The etcd v3 API is now ready for experimentation and testing. The v3 API is almost stable; we do not expect it to significantly change.

To enable the v3 api, start etcd with the additional --experimental-v3demo and --experimental-gRPC-addr options.

v3 client API

A v3 etcd client now is available for experimental use and development. The client API is currently unstable; it may change in the next release. However, feel free to experiment with the new client. Your feedback is welcome!

v3 etcdctl

A v3 etcdctl now is available for experimental use and testing. The command, its arguments, options, and output format are unstable; all may change in the next release. However, feel free to experiment with the new etcdctl. Your feedback is welcome!

rkt run --volume data-dir,kind=host,source=/tmp --mds-register=false coreos.com/etcd:v2.3.0

v2.3.0-alpha.1

This is the first release of etcd supporting the full v3 API, including cluster, kv, lease, and watcher APIs.

etcd 2.3.0-alpha.1 is fully compatible with etcd 2.2. For upgrading production clusters, however, please wait until the stable 2.3 release.

v3 server API

v3 API is now ready for experimenting. The v3 API is now almost stable; we do not expect it to significantly change.

To enable the v3 API, start etcd with additional --experimental-v3demo and --experimental-gRPC-addr flags.

v3 client API

v3 client now is available for experimenting. The client API is unstable; it may change in the next release. However, feel free to experiment with the new client, any feedback is welcome!

v3 etcdctl

v3 etcdctl now is available for experimenting. The command, its arguments, options, and output format are unstable; it may change in the next release. However, feel free to experiment with the new etcdctl, any feedback is welcome!
