v1.5.0

Notes

The sizing of the resource cache is changed from count-based to size-based. The env var DB_RESOURCE_CACHE_SIZE is replaced by the env var DB_RESOURCE_CACHE_SIZE_RATIO. It's default is 0.25 so that 25 % of the Java Heap memory is used for the resource cache. That default should be safe for most deployments. It can be increased but not over 0.8 or 80 %. Please only increase the ratio if Monitoring is available.

Health checks are now officially supported via wget. In case you use curl for health checks, please replace it with wget. The curl command will be removed from the images in release v1.6.

v1.4.0

Notes

Review the new DB_SCALE_FACTOR configuration option. If your Blaze server stores more than 50,000 patients or 50 million resources, increase this factor following the Production Configuration Guide. Increasing the scale factor from 1 to 4 yielded approximately 1.5× faster transactions in our measurements. Additionally, this reduces the number of database files, which helps avoid ulimit issues.

Enhancements

• Introduce Scale Factor Config for Large Databases (#2434)
• Enable RocksDB WAL Sync (#3204)

Documentation

• Rename Tuning Guide (#3199)
