TiDB RC3 Release Notes

On June 16, 2017, TiDB RC3 is released! This release is focused on MySQL compatibility, SQL optimization, stability, and performance.

Highlight

  • The privilege management is refined to enable users to manage the data access privileges using the same way as in MySQL.
  • DDL is accelerated.
  • The load balancing policy and process are optimized for performance.
  • TiDB Ansible is open sourced. By using TiDB-Ansible, you can deploy, upgrade, start and shutdown a TiDB cluster with one click.

Detailed updates
