4.7 Series Release Notes

4.7.0

New Features

• Add ffill, bfill, full_ffill and full_bfill fill options, which back- and/or forward-fill datapoints missing in one of the series in the resulting set, see https://github.com/gnocchixyz/gnocchi/issues/1266.

• The maximum length of the resource ID when creating new resources has been increased from 255 to 289 characters. This extra length allows Gnocchi to accommodate Swift container resources generated by Ceilometer with the maximum container name length of 256 characters.

• Added support for the service role in default policies when using Keystone authentication.

• The maximum allowed length for string-type resource attributes has been increased from 255 to 256 characters. This allows creating attributes that accept values up to 256 characters long e.g. Swift container names.

• The Swift storage driver can now be configured to create containers with a custom storage policy using the swift_storage_policy option. This allows for overriding the storage policy when using the default policy is not desirable, e.g. to limit object replication to a single region when multi-region replication is the default.
