v2.4.4

Features

Add configurable separation for read and write pools for the database connection

A separate reader pool of connections can now be configured to point to a different database instance, to split the query load when necessary. This can be configured by the following environment variables

• USE_SEPARATE_READER_POOL set to "True"
• MF_METADATA_DB_READ_REPLICA_HOST to the host for the readonly connections.

Configurable SSL support for database connection

The connection to the database can now be configured to utilize SSL if required.
Setup is done with the following environment variables

• MF_METADATA_DB_SSL_MODE, possible values 'allow', 'prefer', 'require', 'verify-ca', 'verify-full'
• MF_METADATA_DB_SSL_CERT_PATH Path to cert file
• MF_METADATA_DB_SSL_KEY_PATH Path to key file
• MF_METADATA_DB_SSL_ROOT_CERT_PATH Path to CA

Improvements

UI v1.3.6

Updates the bundled UI version to 1.3.6

Update Python base images

Update base images versions to 3.11.6 for added security.

Relax thresholds for marking runs as failed.

In a previous release, in an effort to reduce the weight of database queries, the threshold for marking runs as failed due to an expired heartbeat was set to a very strict 1 minute. While configurable, this meant that by default any run that gets all of its tasks stuck in a scheduler would be marked as failed very quickly.

This release eases the threshold to a more reasonable 6 minutes, while still being fully configurable via the environment variable RUN_INACTIVE_CUTOFF_TIME
