Eon Mode

The new RESHARD_DATABASE function allows you to change the number of shards in an Eon Mode database.

Re-shard an Eon Mode database

The new RESHARD_DATABASE function allows you to change the number of shards in an Eon Mode database. Previously, the shard count was set during database creation and could not be altered.

For more information about re-sharding, see Change the number of shards in the database.

Graceful shutdown

If you want to drain a subcluster's client connections before shutting it down, you can now gracefully shut down subclusters using SHUTDOWN_WITH_DRAIN. The function allows existing connections on the subcluster to continue their work until either all connections close or a user-specified timeout is reached. When one of these conditions is met, the function proceeds to shut down the subcluster.

For more information about the graceful shutdown process, see Graceful Shutdown.
