May 3 2024: v7.3.0

Warning

Do not use this version if you are using the Client.BatchGetOperate API.

This is a major feature release of the Go client and touches some of the fundamental aspects of the inner workings of it. We suggest complete testing of your application before using it in production.

• New Features

  • [CLIENT-2238] Convert batch calls with just one key per node in sub-batches to Get requests. If the number keys for a sub-batch to a node is equal or less then the value set in BatchPolicy.DirectGetThreshold, the client use direct get instead of batch commands to reduce the load on the server.

  • [CLIENT-2274] Use constant sized connection buffers and resize the connection buffers over time.

    The client would use a single buffer on the connection and would grow it per demand in case it needed a bigger buffer, but would not shrink it. This helped with avoiding using buffer pools and the associated synchronization, but resulted in excessive memory use in case there were a few large records in the results, even if they were infrequent. This changeset does two things: 1. Will use a memory pool for large records only. Large records are defined as records bigger than aerospike.PoolCutOffBufferSize. This is a tiered pool with different buffer sizes. The pool uses sync.Pool under the cover, releasing unused buffers back to the runtime. 2. By using bigger aerospike.DefaultBufferSize values, the user can imitate the old behavior, so no memory pool is used most of the time. 3. Setting aerospike.MinBufferSize will prevent the pool using buffer sizes too small, having to grow them frequently. 4. Buffers are resized every 5 seconds to the median size of buffers used over the previous period, within the above limits.

    This change should result in much lower memory use by the client.

  • [CLIENT-2702] Support Client Transaction Metrics. The native client can now track transaction latencies using histograms. Enable using the Client.EnableMetrics API.

• Improvements

  • [CLIENT-2862] Use default batch policies when the record level batch policy is nil.
  • [CLIENT-2889] Increase grpc MaxRecvMsgSize to handle big records for the proxy client.
  • [CLIENT-2891] Export various batch operation struct fields. Resolves #247.
  • Remove dependency on xrand sub-package since the native API is fast enough.
  • Linter Clean up.
  • WritePolicy.SendKey documentation, thanks to Rishabh Sairawat
  • Replaced the deprecated ioutil.ReadFile with os.ReadFile. PR #430, thanks to Swarit Pandey

• Fixes

  • [CLIENT-2905] Fix inconsistency of handling in-doubt flag in errors.
  • [CLIENT-2890] Support []MapPair return in reflection. This fix supports unmarshalling ordered maps into map[K]V and []MapPair in the structs.

April 10 2024: v7.2.1

December 11 2023: v7.0.0

Caution

This is a breaking release. It is required to allow upgrading your programs to the Aerospike Server v7. This program upgrade process required as a prerequisite to upgrading your cluster, otherwise seemless cluster upgrade will not be possible. The changes and their rationale are documented in the following section.

• Breaking Changes

  • [CLIENT-2713] Handle Normalized Integers in Maps and Lists. Aerospike Server v7 normalizes all positive integers in Maps and Lists into unsigned values for various efficiency reasons, and returns them as uint64. This effectively means that the type of positive int64 values will be lost. Go client supported uint64 types in lists and maps, and this change breaks that functionality by normalizing the values and removing the sign bits in case they are not needed. To support all versions of the server before and after the v7 consistently, the Go client will now behave like other Aerospike smart clients and automatically convert all unsigned int64 values inside maps and lists into signed values. This means a math.MaxUint64 value in a List or Map will return as two's compliment: -1. Example:

      client.Put(wpolicy, key, BinMap{"map": map[any]any{"max": uint64(math.MaxUint64), "typed": uint64(0)}})

    will return as:

      rec, err := client.Get(rpolicy, key)
      // rec.Bins will be:
      // BinMap{"map": map[any]any{"max": int64(-1), "typed": int64(0)}}

  This will break all code that used to cast rec.Bins["map"].(map[any]any)["max].(uin64). As a result, all such code should cast to int64 and then convert back to uint64 via a sign switch. If you didn't use uint64 values in Maps ans Lists, you should not be affected by this change. All the test cases that depended on the old behavior have been adapted to the new behavior.

  • [CLIENT-2719] Typed GeoJSON and HLL deserialization. The Go client would read GeoJSON and HLL values back as string and []byte respectively. So if you read a record with bins of these types and wrote it directly back to the database, the type of these fields would be lost. The new version addresses this issue, but could be a breaking change if you have code that casts the values to the old string and []byte. You now need to cast these values to GeoJSONValue and HLLValue types respectively.

  • [CLIENT-2484] Add returnType to supported ExpMapRemoveBy* and ExpListRemoveBy* methods.

  • [CLIENT-2319] Revise BatchReadAPIs to accept BatchReadPolicy argument. NewBatchReadOps no longer takes binNames and changes ops parameter to variadic for consistency.

    Changes the following Public API:

      func NewBatchRead(key *Key, binNames []string) *BatchRead {
      func NewBatchReadOps(key *Key, binNames []string, ops []*Operation) *BatchRead {
      func NewBatchReadHeader(key *Key) *BatchRead {

    to

      func NewBatchRead(policy *BatchReadPolicy, key *Key, binNames []string) *BatchRead {
      func NewBatchReadOps(policy *BatchReadPolicy, key *Key, ops ...*Operation) *BatchRead {
      func NewBatchReadHeader(policy *BatchReadPolicy, key *Key) *BatchRead {

  • Replace WritePolicy with InfoPolicy in client.Truncate.

  • Remove the deprecated ClientPolicy.RackId. Use Policy.RackIds instead.

• New Features

  • [CLIENT-2712] [CLIENT-2710] Support read replica policy in scan/query. This includes PREFER_RACK which allows scan/query to be directed at local rack nodes when possible.
  • [CLIENT-2434] Use 'sindex-exists' command in DropIndexTask.
  • [CLIENT-2573] Support ExpRecordSize().
  • [CLIENT-2588] SINDEX Support for 'Blob' Type Elements.
  • [CLIENT-2721] Make PartitionFilter.Retry public.
  • Add TaskId() to ExecuteTask.

• Improvements

  • [CLIENT-2694] Use RawURLEncoding instead of RawStdEncoding in proxy authenticator.
  • [CLIENT-2616] Update dependencies to the latest, require Go 1.21
  • Remove HyperLogLog tests from the Github Actions suite
  • Remove Go v1.18-v1.20 from the Github Actions Matrix
  • Rename grpc proto definition files due to compiler limitations. Resolves #414

November 1 2023: v6.14.1

Hotfix.

• Fixes

  • [CLIENT-2624] BatchGetOperate triggering SIGSEGV nil pointer in the Go client. Caching of the operation is faulty and causes race conditions when used concurrently.

  • Mark PartitionStatus.unavailable and PartitionStatus.replicaIndex as transient in PartitionFilter.EncodeCursor.

January 23 2023: v6.9.0

NOTICE: This release is redacted. Please use v6.9.1.

• New Features
  • [CLIENT-2138] Allow PartitionFilter to persist its cursor, and retrieve the encoded cursor back to allow pagination. While the Go client supported pagination, it did not export the necessary data structures to allow that cursor to be persisted by the user. These data structures remain private, but two methods (PartitionFilter.EncodeCursor and PartitionFilter.DecodeCursor) are exported on the PartitionFilter to allow this mechanism to work.

January 10 2023: v6.8.0

• New Features

  • [CLIENT-1988] dded base64 encoding functions CDTContextToBase64 and Base64ToCDTContext for CDTContext.

  • [CLIENT-1955] Allow BatchPolicy.SendKey to be applied to all batch keys in all batch commands. Batch commands used in BatchOperate take an independent policy object. We used to ignore the SendKey attribute in those policies.

October 26 2022: v6.5.0

This is a Minor feature and fix release. We recommend you update your client if you are using batch operate API.

• New Features

  • [CLIENT-1852] Add ListSetWithPolicyOp to list operations.

August 29 2022: v6.3.0

[IMPORTANT NOTE] A bug might occur when a client performing a scan hits a “Partition Unavailable” during an unstable cluster (in both high availability (AP) and strong consistency (CP) modes). Previous versions of the client aborted the scan and put the connection back into the pool, which might cause unprocessed results to be sent to a different transaction (of the same client), possibly resulting in incorrect application behavior. This has been fixed by Go Client v5.10.0 and v6.4.0.

• New Features

  • [CLIENT-1802] Support creating an secondary index on elements within a CDT using context. Supported by server v6.1+.
  • [CLIENT-1773] Change client configuration defaults:
    • Set ClientPolicy.ConnectionQueueSize from 256 to 100.
    • Set ClientPolicy.IdleTimeout from 55 to 0 secs.

  • Documented that PartitionFilter is both a filter and a cursor in the API docs.

July 27 2022: v6.2.1

[IMPORTANT NOTE] A bug might occur when a client performing a scan hits a “Partition Unavailable” during an unstable cluster (in both high availability (AP) and strong consistency (CP) modes). Previous versions of the client aborted the scan and put the connection back into the pool, which might cause unprocessed results to be sent to a different transaction (of the same client), possibly resulting in incorrect application behavior. This has been fixed by Go Client v5.10.0 and v6.4.0.

This is mostly a re-release of v6.2.0, with one added minor change. It seems that we bungled the github tag somehow for that release. Upgrade from v6.2.0 to this version for the changes in that version to be applied to your code.

• Fixes

  • Add a nil check for error in batch retry to be on the safe side.

June 30 2022: v6.2.0

[IMPORTANT NOTE] A bug might occur when a client performing a scan hits a “Partition Unavailable” during an unstable cluster (in both high availability (AP) and strong consistency (CP) modes). Previous versions of the client aborted the scan and put the connection back into the pool, which might cause unprocessed results to be sent to a different transaction (of the same client), possibly resulting in incorrect application behavior. This has been fixed by Go Client v5.10.0 and v6.4.0.

NOTE: It seems that the tag reference for this release was incorrect on Github, or we somehow confused the Go mod. Do not use this version. Use v6.2.1 instead.

This is a major fix release. We recommend upgrading to this release if you are using BatchOperate or Scan/Queries.

• Fixes

  • [CLIENT-1783] Client crashes when tracker is nil during Scan/Queries.

May 30 2021: v5.0.2

[IMPORTANT NOTE] An authentication bug was introduced in Go client 5.0.0. As a result, the client may fail to refresh its session token after it expires, requiring the client to be restarted. If you are using password-based authentication, we highly recommend that you upgrade your client to version 5.6.0+, which you can do safely.

Minor fix release.

• Fixes

  • Improve handling and chaining of errors in BatchCommand retries.
  • Don't wrap in chainErrors if outer is nil and the inner error is of type Error.
  • Support reading back keys with original List values.

May 27 2021: v5.0.1

May 10 2021: v5.0.0

[IMPORTANT NOTE] An authentication bug was introduced in Go client 5.0.0. As a result, the client may fail to refresh its session token after it expires, requiring the client to be restarted. If you are using password-based authentication, we highly recommend that you upgrade your client to version 5.6.0+, which you can do safely.

This is a major feature release. It is also a major breaking release. We have adopted Go's module system as recommended by the Go authors, so the new release moves the active branch to v5. As such, the import path changes to github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go/v5. The master branch remains in place to allow maintenance for the older v4 classic version until most users get the chance to upgrade.

This release also changes the way errors work in the client, and invalidates the old way. This allows the client to support Go's somewhat new errors.Is and errors.As API, and properly chain errors together.

Also note that the Go Client now requires server version 4.9+ and will not work properly with older versions.

• New Features

  • Adopts module system and changes the import paths to github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go/v5
  • [CLIENT-1476] Support new expressions introduced in server version 5.6, including ExpReadOp and ExpWriteOp.
  • [CLIENT-1463] Support boolean particle type and make it opt-in for reflection API via UseNativeBoolTypeInReflection.
  • [CLIENT-1522] Support user quotas and statistics.
  • [CLIENT-1492] Remove ability to use old authentication protocol. This works behind the scenes and doesn't have any impact on user code.
  • [CLIENT-1081] Adds Error interface, changes all API signature to return Error.
  • Exports AdminCommand and its QueryXXX API.

• Breaking Changes

  • Limits keys to int, string and []byte types. The old ListValue arrays as types are not supported anymore.
  • Remove TLS code support for golang v1.8 and before.
  • Moves AerospikeError from /types to the root of the package, and removes all other error type like NodeError
  • [CLIENT-1526] Removes Policy.Priority, ScanPolicy.ScanPercent and ScanPolicy.FailOnClusterChange
  • Removes Recordset.Read() and avoids multiplexing of Records channel in Recordset.Results(), and unexports the Error channel.
  • Remove legacy client code for old servers. Go client now requires server version 4.9+
  • Remove Statement.PredExp, and only use the Policy.PredExp to avoid confusion. PredExp has been deprecated and replaced by Expression.
  • Renames type FilterExpression to Expression.
  • Client.GetBatchXXX() will return ErrFilteredOut if an expression is passed to the API and some records were filtered out, regardless of BatchPolicy.AllowPartialResults.
  • Client.CreateRole() now requires quota information in the param list.
  • Removed Connection.Authenticate() API.
  • Renamed GetOpForBin() to GetBinOp()
  • Removed ScanPolicy.ConcurrentNodes. Now only uses .MaxConcurrentNodes to avoid confusion.
  • Moves the RequestInfo() under Connection.

• Improvements

  • Implement GomegaStringer interface to prevent very long error messages in tests.
  • Adds ResultCode.String().

April 9 2021: v4.5.0

March 19 2019: v2.0.0

Major release. There are some breaking changes, both syntactically and semantically. Most changes are minor, and can be fixed with relative ease. The only major issue is that the behavior of the client when a key does not exist has changed. It used to return no error, but nil Record.Bins. Now it returns ErrKeyNotFound error. This is a significant changes, and you should search your code for all instances of Bins == nil and adapt the code accordingly.

• Major:

  • Optimizes connection creation out of the transaction pipeline and makes it async.
  • Put a threshold on the number of connections allowed to open simultaneously. Controlled via ClientPolicy.OpeningConnectionThreshold.
  • Do not clear partition map entry when a node reports that it no longer owns that partition entry.
  • Uses rolling timeout instead of strict timeout for connections.
  • Remove ToValueArray and ToValueSlice methods to discourage such suboptimal use. Changes QueryAggregate signature to remove the need for those methods.
  • Remove unnecessary conversion from BinMap to Bins in reflection API to speedup the command an avoid unnecessary memory allocations.
  • Use shorter intervals with exponential back-off for tasks.

• Breaking:

  • Get/Put/Touch/Operate and ExecuteUDF commands will return an ErrKeyNotFound error when the key does not exist in the database. The old behavior used to be not to return an error, but have an empty Record.Bins.
  • Renames Statement.Addfilter to Statement.SetFilter, change the name and type of Statement.Filters to Statement.Filter.
  • Remove ClientPolicy.RequestProleReplicas. THe client will always request them.
  • Removes ScanPolicy.ServerSocketTimeout and QueryPolicy.ServerSocketTimeout in favor of the already existing Policy.SocketTimeout.
  • Renames Policy.Timeout to Policy.TotalTimeout to make the naming consistent with other clients.
  • Moves atomic package to internal.
  • Moves ParticleType package to internal.
  • Moves RequestNodeInfo and RequestNodeStats to methods on Node object, and adds InfoPolicy to the relevant API signatures.
  • Removes WaitUntilMigrationIsFinished from Scan/Query policies.
  • Changes NewConnection method signature, makes LoginCommand private.
  • Makes OperationType private.
  • Remove long deprecated method for pool management.
  • Removes unused ReadN method in Connection.
  • Embeds Policies as values and not pointers inside MultiPolicy, ScanPolicy, QueryPolicy

• Minor:

  • Fixes a race condition in the AdminCommand.
  • Synchronize the XORShift to avoid race conditions.
  • Completely removes deprecated LDT code.

March 11 2019: v1.39.0

Major improvements Release.

• Improvements

  • Significantly improves Batch/Scan/Query/UDF/QueryAggregate performance, up to 10x depending on the number of records.

• Changes

  • Removes BatchPolicy.UseBatchDirect from the code since it is not supported on the server anymore.

February 21 2019: v1.38.0

• New Features

  • Support new server truncate-namespace command via Client.Truncate when set is not specified.

• Improvements

  • The client will not clear a partition map entry when a node reports that it no longer owns that partition entry until another node claims ownership.
  • Adapt UDF test for new server changes. The server will not return an error after RemoveUDF if the UDF did not exist.
  • Improves a few tests and relaxes tolerances in tests to accommodate slower cloud test environments.

• Fixes

  • Fixes a race condition in XOR shift RNG.
  • Fixes a race condition in the AdminCommand.

December 3 2018: v1.37.0

• New Features

  • Support lut-now parameter for Client.Truncate() in servers that support and require it.
  • Added support for CDT Map Relative Ops: MapGetByKeyRelativeIndexRangeOp, MapGetByKeyRelativeIndexRangeCountOp, MapGetByValueRelativeRankRangeOp, MapGetByValueRelativeRankRangeCountOp, MapRemoveByKeyRelativeIndexRangeOp, MapRemoveByKeyRelativeIndexRangeCountOp.
  • Added support for CDT List Relative Ops: ListGetByValueRelativeRankRangeOp, ListGetByValueRelativeRankRangeCountOp, ListRemoveByValueRelativeRankRangeOp, ListRemoveByValueRelativeRankRangeCountOp.
  • Added INFINITY and WILDCARD values for use in CDT map/list comparators.

• Improvements

  • Increase default Policy.SocketTimeout to 30s. If SocketTimeout is longer than Timeout, Timeout will be used instead silently. This change is done for the client to perform more intuitively in cloud environments.
  • Never return a random node if a node was not found in the partition map.
  • Return more descriptive error messages on various partition map and other node related errors.

• Changes

  • Remove the ability to force old batch direct protocol on the client because the server will be removing support for the old batch direct protocol.
  • Update admin message version to 2.
  • Remove unused error codes.
  • Remove Go 1.7 and 1.8 from travis tests due to incompatibility with the test framework.

November 1 2018: v1.36.0

Feature Release.

• New Features

  • Support rackaware feature. You need to set the ClientPolicy.RackAware = true, and set the ClientPolicy.RackId. All read operations will try to choose a node on the same rack if Policy.ReplicaPolicy = PREFER_RACK. This feature is especially useful when the app/cluster are on the cloud and network throughput over different zones are price differently.

• Improvements

  • Update Operate command documentation.
  • Improve an expectation in a CDT Map test.
  • Move UDF object test to the proper file.
  • Support float64 struct fields when the value of the field has been changed inside lua and set to int - will only affect clusters which support float.

  • Updated README example with clarification.

• Fixes

  • Fixes an issue where multiple operation results for a bin would be appended to the first result if it was a list.

October 2 2018: v1.35.2

Improvement release.

• Improvements

  • Do not allocate a partition map on each tend unless needed.
  • Adds ConnectionsClosed stat and sets the connection and dataBuffer to nil in a few places to help the GC.
  • Use a heap data structure for connection pooling instead of a queue. This allows better management of connections after a surge, since it keeps the unused connection in the bottom of the heap to close. It also helps with performance a bit due to better caching of the data structure in CPU.

  • Removed deprecated SetCapacity() and GetCapacity() methods for LDTs.

April 13 2015 : v1.5.0

This release includes potential BREAKING CHANGES.

• New Features

  • Introduces ClientPolicy.LimitConnectionsToQueueSize. If set to true, the client won't attemp to create new connections to the node if the total number of pooled connections to the node is equal or more than the pool size. The client will retry to poll a connection from the queue until a timeout occurs. If no timeout is set, it will only retry for ten times.

• Improvements

  • BREAKING CHANGE: | Uses type aliases instead of structs in several XXXValue methods. This removes a memory allocation per Value usage. Since every Put operation uses at list one value object, this has the potential to improve application performance. Since the signature of several NewXXXValue methods have changed, this might break some existing code if you have used the value objects directly.

  • Improved Logger so that it will accept a generalized Logger interface. Any Logger with a Printf(format string, values ...interface{}) method can be used. Examples include Logrus.

  • Improved Client.BatchGet() performance.

• Fixes

  • Bin names were ignored in BatchCommands.

  • BatchCommandGet.parseRecord() returned wrong values when BinNames was empty but not nil.

March 31 2015 : v1.4.2

  • Marshaller now supports arrays of arbitrary types.
  • Client.GetObject() now returns an error when the object is not found.
  • Partition calculation uses a trick that is twice as fast.

• Improvements

  • Unpacking BLOBs resulted in returning references to pooled buffers. Now copies are returned.

March 12 2015 : v1.4.1

This is a minor release to help improve the compatibility of the client on Mac OS, and to make cross compilation easier.

• Improvements

  • Node validator won't call net.HostLookup if an IP is passed as a seed to it.

Feb 17 2015 : v1.4.0

This is a major release, and makes using the client much easier to develop applications.

• New Features

  • Added Marshalling Support for Put and Get operations. Refer to Marshalling Test to see how to take advantage. Same functionality for other APIs will follow soon. Example:

  type SomeStruct struct {
    A    int            `as:"a"`  // alias the field to a
    Self *SomeStruct    `as:"-"`  // will not persist the field
  }
  
  type OtherStruct struct {
    i interface{}
    OtherObject *OtherStruct
  }
  
  obj := &OtherStruct {
    i: 15,
    OtherObject: OtherStruct {A: 18},
  }
  
  key, _ := as.NewKey("ns", "set", value)
  err := client.PutObject(nil, key, obj)
  // handle error here
  
  rObj := &OtherStruct{}
  err = client.GetObject(nil, key, rObj)

  • Added Recordset.Results(). Consumers of a recordset do not have to implement a select anymore. Instead of:

  recordset, err := client.ScanAll(...)
  L:
  for {
    select {
    case r := <-recordset.Record:
      if r == nil {
        break L
      }
      // process record here
    case e := <-recordset.Errors:
      // handle error here
    }
  }

  one should only range on recordset.Results():

  recordset, err := client.ScanAll(...)
  for res := range recordset.Results() {
    if res.Err != nil {
      // handle error here
    } else {
      // process record here
      fmt.Println(res.Record.Bins)
    }
  }

  Use of the old pattern is discouraged and deprecated, and direct access to recordset.Records and recordset.Errors will be removed in a future release.

• Improvements

  • Custom Types are now allowed as bin values.
