12.1.2. Upgrading

The sections below contain instructions on how to upgrade the software installation from a previous version to stable rasdaman v10.4.

12.1.2.1. From v10.4

To upgrade from the previous stable version v10.4 to stable v10.5:

Stop rasdaman with sudo service rasdaman stop; make sure that the processes are really stopped: if ps aux | grep -E 'ras(mgr|server)' returns any processes, stop them with pkill -9 -f 'ras(mgr|server)'
Update the repository metadata with sudo apt-get update
Two ways to upgrade rasdaman:
- Upgrade all packages including rasdaman with sudo apt-get upgrade, or
- Upgrade only the rasdaman package with sudo apt-get install $(dpkg -l | grep "^ii *rasdaman" | awk '{ print $2; }')

12.1.2.2. From testing

To upgrade from the latest testing version to stable v10.5:

Stop rasdaman with sudo service rasdaman stop; make sure that the processes are really stopped: if ps aux | grep -E 'ras(mgr|server)' returns any processes, stop them with pkill -9 -f 'ras(mgr|server)'
Remove the current rasdaman package with sudo apt-get remove $(dpkg -l | grep "rasdaman" | awk '{ print $2; }'); this is required because the stable package generally has the same version but a lower iteration number than the testing one
Change the testing package repository to the stable one in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rasdaman.list
Update the repository metadata with sudo apt-get update
Install the new rasdaman version with sudo apt-get install $(dpkg -l | grep "rasdaman" | awk '{ print $2; }') (docs)

12.1.3. Migrating

For migrating from one to another OS version, see the migration guide.

12.1.4. Incompatible changes

12.1.4.1. Encode to CSV/JSON

The default format of CSV encoding (docs) is now closer to the standard formatting. Dimensions are distinguished by new lines instead of braces (“{” and “}”), and null values are omitted from the output. In particular, the following changes have been done to the default values of the supported “formatParameters”:

Table 12.1 Format parameter defaults changes
option name	old default	new default
`enableNull`	`false`	`true`
`nullValue`	N/A	`""`
`dimensionStart`	`"{"`	`""`
`dimensionEnd`	`"}"`	`""`
`dimensionSeparator`	`","`	`"\n"`
`prettyPrint` (new)	N/A	`true`

If the old format of v10.4 and earlier is preferred, it can be achieved by adding the following to the format parameters of the encode function:

▶ show

The format of JSON has been also updated to pretty print the output with new lines and indentation by default. Reverting to the old behavior can be done by specifying "prettyPrint": false in the encode format parameters.

12.1.4.2. wcst_import settings

Any camelCase settings in wcst_import ingredient files are deprecated (but still valid). It is recommended to update ingredient JSON files to use the corresponding snake_case variants.

Table 12.2 `camelCase` to `snake_case` setting name changes
old option	new option
`pixelIsPoint`	`pixel_is_point`
`observationType`	`observation_type`
`nilValue`	`nil_value`
`nilReason`	`nil_reason`
`nilValues`	`nil_values`
`uomCode`	`uom_code`
`codeType`	`code_type`
`codeSpace`	`code_space`
`filterMessagesMatching`	`filter_messages_matching`
`gridOrder`	`grid_order`
`crsOrder`	`crs_order`
`directPositions`	`direct_positions`
`dataBound`	`data_bound`
`areasOfValidity`	`areas_of_validity`
`sliceGroupSize`	`slice_group_size`

12.1.4.3. Configuration

allow_write_requests_from setting in petascope.properties is deprecated and will be removed in next major version (docs).

12.4.2. Upgrading

The sections below contain instructions on how to upgrade the software installation from a previous version to stable rasdaman v10.2.

12.4.2.1. From v10.1

To upgrade from the previous stable version v10.1 to stable v10.2:

Stop rasdaman with sudo service rasdaman stop; make sure that the processes are really stopped: if ps aux | grep -E 'ras(mgr|server)' returns any processes, stop them with pkill -9 -f 'ras(mgr|server)'
Update the repository metadata with sudo apt-get update
Install the new rasdaman version with sudo apt-get install rasdaman

12.4.2.2. From testing

To upgrade from the latest testing version to stable v10.2:

Stop rasdaman with sudo service rasdaman stop; make sure that the processes are really stopped: if ps aux | grep -E 'ras(mgr|server)' returns any processes, stop them with pkill -9 -f 'ras(mgr|server)'
Remove the current rasdaman package with sudo apt-get remove rasdaman; this is required because the stable package generally has the same version but a lower iteration number than the testing one
Change the testing package repository to the stable one in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rasdaman.list (Ubuntu) or /etc/yum.repos.d/rasdaman.repo (CentOS 7)
Update the repository metadata with sudo apt-get update
Install the new rasdaman version with sudo apt-get install rasdaman

12.6. rasdaman v10.0 (2022-03-18)

12.6.1. High-level summary

Rasdaman v10.0 comes with a new query processing engine bringing higher performance on modern multi-core architectures, reduced memory usage, support for fine-grain access control through privileges and triggers, more correct nodata handling with null masks, and more.
Virtual coverages allow building a single coverage from multiple source coverages with potentially different CRS or resolution; for example, it is possible to combine Sentinel 2 coverages over varying UTM zones into a single coverage with global CRS like EPSG:4326, such that the necessary reprojections, scaling and overlaying are done on-the-fly in the background.
Access can be restricted on complete datacubes, but also on spatio-temporal regions within datacubes. Access control must allow flexible definition as well as efficient enforcement on individual or group of users. Further, resource usage often needs to be restricted on a per-user and per-query basis. Rasdaman now allows to do this through a convenient web interface.
Rasdaman federations support flexible access control configured by mapping users between federated nodes.
In-situ data registration has been enhanced to support spatially overlapping files with the same semantics as non-insitu updates, so that the last registered files overlays previously registered files, but not in the areas with null values.
Type coercion rules have been updated and standardized for less surprising behavior in query processing, to minimize the risk for overflow as well as type inflation. Casting from larger to smaller type has also been improved to “clamp” the values outside of the valid range of the new smaller type.

12.6.2. New features, enhancements, bug fixes

12.6.2.1. rasdaman core

Null values have a different and more accurate semantics based on null masks, additional null-specific operators, support for per-band null values, improved handling of null when encoding data, e.g. use of “null” keyword in JSON (docs)
Access control is now part of rasql and much more powerful and flexible in capabilities (docs); existing users are automatically migrated and the access control mechanism in rasmgr is not used anymore
Insitu registration of overlapping files now matches the semantics of regular, non-insitu updates (docs)
Encoding of data to JSON or CSV format is now more flexible with support for controlling various elements of the output format (docs)
Support for marray expression with array-valued cell expression, allowing to aggregate array expressions into higher-dimensional arrays (docs)
Updated and formally standardized type coercion rules for less surprising behavior in query processing; they have been designed to minimize the risk for overflow as well as type inflation (docs)
Type management is now fully possible with rasql queries (docs); the deprecated tool rasdl has been removed
Axis names specified during array type creation can be used for flexible positionally-independent subsetting (docs)
Types complex and complexd are deprecated, use cfloat32 and cfloat64 instead (docs)
Casting from larger to smaller type will lead to “clamping” of values outside of the valid range of the new smaller type (docs)
New query syntax to list the collections available in rasdaman; local and all remote collections are listed by default, and this can be controlled by specifying a particular host (docs)

12.6.3.1. rasdaman core

Null values have a different and more accurate semantics based on null masks, additional null-specific operators, improved handling of null when encoding data, e.g. use of “null” keyword in JSON (docs)
Support for access control in rasmgr has been removed; use rasql for managing rasdaman users, assigning privileges to them, or creating triggers for access and resource usage control (docs)
Insitu registration of overlapping files now matches the semantics of regular non-insitu updates (docs):

In v9.8, registering a file A which overlaps an already registered file B would cause B to be de-registered from rasdaman

In v10.0, both will be registered but generally in the overlapping region the data from only the last registered file (A in this case) will be available; null values are handled as well by overlaying with the less recently registered files

Deprecated tool rasdl has been removed, use rasql queries for type management (docs)
Type coercion rules which govern the type of operation results based on the input data types have significantly changed, and may result in different behavior in existing queries; it is recommended to review the docs
Casting from larger to smaller type will lead to “clamping” of values outside of the valid range of the new smaller type, which may result in different behavior when existing queries evaluate with v10.0 (docs)
Subsetting has to be within the array spatial domain now, otherwise an error will be thrown (docs); when a subset needs to extend outside or intersect the array sdom, use the extend function.
Existing UDF code that accepts or returns arrays of composite base type should be adapted to check if the array data is pixel- or channel-interleaved (docs)
If federation is enabled, listing collections will show both local and remote collections; furthermore, only collections to which the rasdaman user has access will be listed; it is recommended to review the docs
Deprecated network protocols RNP and RPC have been removed; clients compiled against these old protocols will need to be recompiled with the latest client API libs in order to be able to communicate with v10.0 rasdaman servers (docs)
rasdapy on Python 2 is not maintained anymore, migrating to rasdapy3 is recommended (docs)

12.6.3.2. OGC frontend (petascope)

Changed behavior of rasdaman_user in petascope.properties (docs):
- v9.8 rasdaman_user is used if authentication is disabled with authentication_type=
- v10.0, the old use remains, but if authentication_type=basic_header and a request is missing Basic authentication credentials:
  - if rasdaman_user=a_valid_rasdaman_user, petascope will allow the request as if it had credentials from rasdaman_user and rasdaman_pass
  - if rasdaman_user=, then petascope will throw a missing credentials exception.
In the GetCapabilities response, the way rasdaman adds various metadata for each coverage (sizeInBytes, axisList, hostname, endpoint and blackListed) has changed:

v9.8 the metadata was put under the <ows:Metadata> element for each coverage, e.g.

<ows:Metadata>
    <rasdaman:sizeInBytes>224775000</rasdaman:sizeInBytes>
    <rasdaman:axisList>Lat,Long</rasdaman:axisList>
    ...
</ows:Metadata>

v10.0 the metadata is now put under an <ows:AdditionalParameters> element instead, e.g.

<ows:AdditionalParameters>
    <ows:AdditionalParameter>
        <ows:Name>sizeInBytes</ows:Name>
        <ows:Value>224775000</ows:Value>
    </ows:AdditionalParameter>
    <ows:AdditionalParameter>
        <ows:Name>axisList</ows:Name>
        <ows:Value>Lat,Long</ows:Value>
    </ows:AdditionalParameter>
    ...
</ows:AdditionalParameters>

When a client sends GetMap requests, the rules below define (in conformance with the WMS 1.3 standard) how a style is applied to the requested layers:
- If no styles are defined then rasdaman returns the data as-is, encoded in the requested format.
- If some styles are defined, e.g. X, Y, and Z, then:
  - If the client specifies a style Y, then Y is applied.
  - If the client does not specify a style, then:
    - If the admin has set a style as default, e.g. Z, then Z is applied.
    - Otherwise, if no style has been set as default, then the first style from the list of styles, e.g. X is applied.

Remove use of petascope_admin_user in petascope.properties (docs):

Version

Behavior

v9.8

allows credentials configured by petascope_admin_user and petascope_admin_pass to be used for login as admin user in WSClient or execute write requests equivalently as the admin user configured by rasdaman_admin_user.

v10.0

petascope_admin_user and petascope_admin_pass are removed. These settings (if existing in the local system) will be copied as deprecated settings in the updated petascope.properties. Any requests using these deprecated credentials will be invalid. One has to the credentials from a valid rasdaman user with RW rights in WSClient; direct requests must include these credentials in the HTTP Authorization header in Basic authentication format.

Many non-OGC API supported by petascope have been redefined and consolidated under the /rasdaman/admin endpoint. Below all changes are listed (note that the server endpoint, e.g. http://localhost:8080 has been omitted from the URLs). The v9.8 URLs will not work anymore, it is required to adapt to the new syntax.

12.6.3.3. federation

Federation between nodes running rasdaman v9.8 and rasdaman v10.0 is not possible, older versions must be upgraded.
Federated requests are authenticated and authorized based on tokens in the new version (docs). In order to migrate a system from a previous version, follow these steps:
1. Update and restart rasdaman on each machine. When the new version starts, a pair of RSA keys associated with the machine will be automatically generated and stored in /opt/rasdaman/etc/keys/local/.
2. Copy the public key of the local machine to the /opt/rasdaman/etc/keys/federation/ directory on all other nodes in the federation (docs).
3. Migrate the list of inpeer and outpeer definitions from /opt/rasdaman/etc/rasmgr.conf to /opt/rasdaman/etc/rasfed.properties; each peer definition must be extended with a role map (otherwise all requests will result in Access denied exceptions) (docs).
4. Restart rasdaman on each machine.

12.6.4. Upgrading

The sections below contain instructions on how to upgrade the software installation from a previous version to stable rasdaman v10.0.

In addition, it is highly recommended to review the list of incompatible changes.

12.6.4.1. From v9.8

To upgrade from the previous stable version v9.8 to stable v10.0:

Stop rasdaman with sudo service rasdaman stop; make sure that the processes are really stopped: if ps aux | grep -E 'ras(mgr|server)' returns any processes, stop them with pkill -9 -f 'ras(mgr|server)'
On Ubuntu update the repository metadata with sudo apt-get update
Install the new rasdaman version with sudo apt-get install rasdaman (Ubuntu) or sudo yum update rasdaman (CentOS 7)

12.6.4.2. From testing

To upgrade from the latest testing version to stable v10.0:

Stop rasdaman with sudo service rasdaman stop; make sure that the processes are really stopped: if ps aux | grep -E 'ras(mgr|server)' returns any processes, stop them with pkill -9 -f 'ras(mgr|server)'
Remove the current rasdaman package with sudo apt-get remove rasdaman (Ubuntu) or sudo yum erase rasdaman (CentOS 7); this is required because the stable package has the same version but a lower iteration number than the testing one
Change the testing package repository to the stable one in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rasdaman.list (Ubuntu) or /etc/yum.repos.d/rasdaman.repo (CentOS 7)
On Ubuntu update the repository metadata with sudo apt-get update
Install the new rasdaman version with sudo apt-get install rasdaman (Ubuntu) or sudo yum update rasdaman (CentOS 7)

rasdaman core

More robust handling of spurious disk errors when checking if a file to be registered is readable or not

OGC frontend (petascope)

More robust handling of read timeouts in communication with rasfed

Fixed leak of large binary objects in PostgreSQL which were left in petascopedb when removing data, e.g. dropping a coverage, pyramid levels, styles, etc; these objects will be properly and automatically removed via triggers from now on.

However, the already leaked orphan objects cannot be automatically removed, and require the following steps to address in order to reduce the size of petascopedb:

# Stop rasdaman and embedded petascope if exists
sudo service rasdaman stop
# If petascope runs on external tomcat, then stop it
sudo service tomcat9 stop
# Rename the existing petascopedb to petascopedb_backup
sudo -u postgres psql -c "ALTER DATABASE petascopedb RENAME TO petascopedb_backup"
# Create a new empty database
sudo -u postgres createdb petascopedb
# Change in petascope.properties
metadata_url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/petascopedb_backup
# Finally, run migration script to copy only the relevant data from
# petascopedb_backup to the new petascopedb
/opt/rasdaman/bin/migrate_petascopedb.sh
# Start rasdaman (and Tomcat if needed)
sudo service rasdaman start
sudo service tomcat9 start
# Verify that services are working as expected, if all is fine the
# petascopedb_backup can be dropped from PostgreSQL (but maybe consider
# exporting it to a backup first)
sudo -u postgres dropdb petascopedb_backup

Improve performance of processing GetCapabilities requests in federations
