This advisory was sent out several months ago, however I wanted to remind you all to make sure your customers are informed. I am seeing customers still on the affected Vertica versions.
Hot Fix updates with the release of 8.1.1-27 notification
In Vertica 9.1 catalog performance features were implemented to reduce the size of the catalog by removing redundant information. That feature was backported to 9.0 and 8.1 and we have determined that this caused a minor regression in the catalog growth, as well as impacting performance.
We fixed this issue in 9.2 with VER-63728 and with corresponding backports to 9.1, 9.0 and 8.1; All affected versions have been removed from the hotfix patches ftp site.
Hot fixes that contain the fix are:
9.2
9.1.1-5 and higher
9.0.1-18 and higher
8.1.1-27 and higher
If your customers are using any of the following hot fixes, we recommend that you ask them to upgrade as soon as possible to the corresponding latest version.
9.1 – 9.1.1-4
9.0.1-8 – 9.0.1-17
8.1.1-20 – 8.1.1-26
Please contact Vertica support with any questions.
