Surface for Developers and Data Scientists
- Introducing Bolt 5.8.
Fixes
- Server
- Fixed an issue where dense relationships could be indexed twice. However, this would not produce any functional error, but could be observable when running consistency checks for a database having any Lucene indexes for relationships.
- Fixed an issue removing the last property from a dense relationship, if that property was indexed. Recovery, or clustered application of that operation would fail.
- Fixed an issue with DDL, which is not transaction safe
- Fixed a warning message around usage of Java Compressed Ordinary Object Pointers and heaps in the range of 32-48G
- Cypher
- Fixed a bug where in certain cases where the collect function wasn’t preserving the order defined in the previous query clause in the parallel runtime.
