23.10 Release Notes

Known Issues, Limitations, Behavior Changes

Disable pushdown optimization

Versions affected: SciDB 23.10.0–4

Pushdown optimization should be manually disabled in versions 23.10.0 through 23.10.4. If left on, it can lead to various issues including server crashes and high memory use.

To disable it manually, edit the SciDB config file to include the line:

enable-optimize-pushdown=0

It is disabled by default in SciDB 23.10.5.

Avoid curl 8.6 in HTTP API clients

Versions affected: SciDB 21.x–

There is a bug in version 8.6 of the “curl” library that causes HTTP clients to fail with this error when connecting to SciDB’s Client API over HTTPS:

curl: (56) OpenSSL SSL_read: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL, errno 0

(See SDB-8459 for details.)

A fix for this bug was merged into the curl source code on GitHub within days of the ship date of curl 8.6; however, it hasn’t been included in a curl release so far (as of 2023-03-21). The fix should be included in curl 8.7 whenever that gets released.

If you have a client using curl 8.6, you should upgrade to curl 8.7 if available; if not, downgrade to curl 8.5.

You should instruct package managers and dependency frameworks (aptitude, conda, dnf, yum, etc.) to exclude version 8.6 when installing curl/libcurl.
