Changed and Deprecated Features
• For Greenplum Database 4.2.5.1, the Greenplum Database autovacuum daemon is no longer triggered to run on a Greenplum Database segment. Previously it ran in
a segment-local context. The daemon was used for transaction ID (XID) management.
Greenplum Database issues a warning when a significant portion of the transaction IDs are no longer available. Greenplum Database stops creating transactions when the lack of available transaction IDs might cause performance or transaction management issues.
The Greenplum Database configuration parameter xid_warn_limit controls when the warning is displayed. The configuration parameter xid_stop_limit controls when Greenplum Database stops creating transactions.
For information about transaction ID management and using the VACUUM command as part of system maintenance, see Chapter 8, “Routine System Maintenance Tasks” in the Greenplum Database System Administrator Guide. For information about the VACUUM command and the configuration parameters, see the
Greenplum Database System Reference Guide.
• For Greenplum Database 4.2.5.1 gpcheck utility, the -m and -s options are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.For information about gpcheck, see the Greenplum Database Utility Guide.
