Critical Release Announcement: InfluxDB 1.7.4, InfluxDB Enterprise 1.7.4

Critical maintenance releases for InfluxDB OSS and InfluxDB Enterprise are available now, addressing a critical defect that affects shards larger than 16GB, which can lead to data loss during compaction. The new release includes several fixes, including improvements to caching and configuration options. Customers who cannot upgrade immediately can use temporary workarounds to prevent full compaction from running. Downgrading is also an option, but it may result in additional work.
