• Schema changes.
• Bug fixes.

Schema changes

This release includes schema changes.

Before upgrading your Temporal Server cluster, run the schema upgrate tool to support version 1.4.
Schema update tool instructions are here: https://docs.temporal.io/docs/server-versions-and-dependencies/#upgrade-your-version-of-temporal.

Elasticsearch v7 Support

Upgrading to Elasticsearch v7 (ES7) from ES6 includes a number of breaking changes.
The most important one is the removal of types.
Therefore the ES6 Go client is not compatible with ES7 and upgrading the Temporal Server is a multi step process.

Fresh install

If you are installing a fresh version of the Temporal Server, use ES7.
Install the latest ES7 version, and set the ES version in the Server's static config:

persistence:
  datastores:
    es-visibility:
      elasticsearch:
        version: "v7"

Or, set ES_VERSION env to v7 if you are using pre-build docker image.

Upgrade with temporary cluster shutdown

If you can afford any Temporal Server downtime while upgrading Elasticsearch, then simply shutdown your Temporal cluster and upgrade ES6 to ES7 following the steps from the Elasticsearch documentation.
If you are on the latest 6.8.x, just perform a rolling upgrade of Elasticsearch.

Rolling upgrade of the Temporal Server

You can also upgrade the Temporal Server cluster with some minimal downtime in enhanced visibility only.

1. Update the Server to this v1.7.0 release.
2. Add the following to the dynamic config:

history.visibilityProcessorEnabled:
  - value: false

3. Restart the Server.
   Workflow visibility information won't be updated.

4. Upgrade ES6 to ES7 following steps from the Elasticsearch documentation.
   If you are on the latest 6.8.x, just perform a rolling upgrade of Elasticsearch.

5. Start ES7.
   Visibility read queries will temporarily generate errors.
   Write queries are blocked because the processor is disabled.

6. Switch to ES7 in the Server's static config:

persistence:
  datastores:
    es-visibility:
      elasticsearch:
        version: "v7"

Or, set ES_VERSION env to v7 if you are using pre-build docker image.

7. Remove this from the dynamic config:

history.visibilityProcessorEnabled:
  - value: false

8. Restart the Server one more time.

Managed AWS Elasticsearch version

During our internal testing we found out that the latest AWS Elasticsearch version 7.9 has issues and can't be used.
If you are using AWS Elasticsearch upgrade to 7.7.

Internal visibility queue is used by default

This release uses internal visibility queues by default, instead of Kafka.
You may lose unprocessed Kafka messages if you are upgrading from version other than v1.6.4.
To prevent this, upgrade to v1.6.4 first or follow the upgrade steps from the v1.5.0 release.

In the next release all remaining Kafka code will be completely removed.
