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 they 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 let me know if have any questions.
Thanks
