Improvements

Performance of Percolate Queries have been greatly improved, especially when NOT operator is used and when documents are batched.

Depending on dist_threads, multiple threads can be used to handle CALL PQ calls. Using dist_threads=8 a 3-4X increase in number of handled documents has been observed.

A new full-text operator is available - NOTNEAR. NOTNEAR/N matching if the subexpressions are not found within N words of each.

Added LIMIT for SELECT over PQ indexes.

expand_keywords can accept ‘star’,’exact’ (with ‘star,exact’ equals to 1) for more granular control.

Added ‘ranged-main-query’ to joined fields. The new option allows ranged queries, but uses the ranged query defined by sql_query_range.

A number of bugs have been fixed in this release, for a full report please consult the Release note.
