Summary

Aerospike Database 7.1 introduces a new partial flush feature, which optimizes storage IO by allowing for gradual flushing of data blocks rather than full block writes. This is particularly beneficial for users with slow or occasional write workloads and read-heavy applications. The update also includes essential server configuration changes to ensure smooth transitions and optimal performance. Users should pay close attention to the deprecated parameters (write-block-size and post-write-queue) and reconfigure their Aerospike cluster accordingly, as well as tune the flush-size parameter for their specific write load.
