v1.9.1

Highlights

• Logging enhancements:
  • Customize log key names to fit your log schema and downstream tooling.
  • Prefer json.Marshaler over fmt.Stringer when emitting JSON logs, improving correctness and structure.
• REST/SSE stability and operability:
  • Fix SSE handler blocking and reduce noisy logs by downgrading SetWriteDeadline errors to debug.
  • Add SetSSESlowThreshold to help detect slow clients and long writes.
• Diagnostics and performance:
  • Improved mapreduce panic stacktraces for faster root-cause analysis.
  • Optimized machine performance data reading to reduce runtime overhead.

Detailed Changes

Logging

• Support customizing log keys so you can align emitted fields (e.g., time, level, caller, message) to your organization’s conventions or ingestion pipeline requirements.

• Prefer json.Marshaler over fmt.Stringer when generating JSON logs, ensuring structured fields are serialized using their explicit JSON representations rather than ad-hoc strings.

REST/SSE

• Fix SSE handler blocking behavior that could stall responses under certain conditions.
  PR: fix: SSE handler blocking by @wuqinqiang (@5181)
• Reduce log noise for transient I/O conditions by downgrading SetWriteDeadline errors to debug level in REST SSE.
  PR: fix(rest): change SSE SetWriteDeadline error log to debug level by @wuqinqiang (@5162)
• Add sseSlowThreshold to surface slow SSE writes, enabling better observability about backpressure or slow clients.

MapReduce

• Improve panic stacktrace reporting in mapreduce, making error contexts clearer and debugging faster.
  PR: optimize: mapreduce panic stacktrace by @kevwan (@5168)

Performance and Runtime

• Optimize machine performance data reading to lower collection overhead and reduce runtime impact.
  PR: opt: optimization of machine performance data reading by @wanwusangzhi (@5174)

Bug Fixes

• Fix gRPC → HTTP mapping issue in gateway.
  PR: fix: issue-5110 by @guonaihong (@5113)

Migration and Usage Notes

• Logging key customization:
  • If you rely on specific field names in log pipelines, consider setting the new custom key configuration to preserve schema consistency.
• JSON log output:
  • If your types implement json.Marshaler, expect more accurate JSON in logs. If you previously depended on stringified representations, review downstream consumers to ensure compatibility.
• SSE tuning:
  • Consider using SetSSESlowThreshold to flag slow clients or network conditions in environments sensitive to latency.
  • The SetWriteDeadline log level change reduces noise; adjust logger settings if you still want to surface these events.

Acknowledgements
