Watch Items and Known Issues

The following are known issues in this release.

  • During new object creation as part of renaming with ?newname, Gateway does not verify that the user has permission to create the new object name (although it is highly likely, because it is a write within the same context). (CLOUD-2966)

  • Verbose log4j messages are printed on the console during service start. These have no operational impact and may be ignored. (CLOUD-2964)

  • Listings with max-keys may be shorter than expected because CommonPrefixes are included in the count of keys returned. (CLOUD-2917)

  • S3 listings that specify a delimiter can return multiple CommonPrefixes entries. That confuses some S3 clients like Caringo Drive, leading to missing directories. (CLOUD-2888)

  • Uploading files/photos using Panic's Transmit app on iOS fails due to a 403 Invalid Signature error. (CLOUD-2886)

  • Gateway 5.2.2 and earlier do not output the NextMarker field in S3 listings, which can cause  some S3 clients such as Caringo Drive, rclone, and Transmit to show only 1000 files in a directory or to miss some subdirectories. (CLOUD-2871)

  • Listings exclude a token if the case of the username (myadmin) does not match that used when the token was created (myAdmin). (CLOUD-2837)

  • Multipart PUT requests via recent Cyberduck versions fail with 403 SignatureDoesNotMatch when using AWS Signature Version 4. Install the Caringo .cyberduckprofiles from Using the Cyberduck application with Content Gateway S3 which force V2 signatures. (CLOUD-2799)

  • If a policy document includes a Principal that has plural "users" or "groups" instead of "user" or "group", the policy fails to take effect without warning. (CLOUD-2783)

  • On macOS, you must use Transmit 4.x or >=5.0.5 and Gateway 5.2.2 to avoid 403 Invalid Signature errors. (CLOUD-2777)

  • Versioning-enabled buckets with large numbers of objects may generate Gateway server.log warnings that can be safely ignored: "S3BucketRequestHandler: WARNING: problem with versioned bucket listing. Number of CommonPrefix (2000) exceeds max-size limit (1000)." (CLOUD-2643)

  • 403 S3 V4 Signature mismatch errors may result when using Cyberduck with the "pound" proxy in front of Gateway S3. Workaround: Disable the Expect header in the Cyberduck preferences, or (recommended) use a different proxy, such as "haproxy". (CLOUD-2628)

  • When Gateway cannot connect to Elasticsearch nodes, the errors may erroneously report this as being related to Storage nodes. (CLOUD-2595)

  • Because of issues with Range and ETag header handling, video playback of .mp4 streams may not work correctly when served via the Gateway S3 port. It does work when served via the Gateway SCSP port. (CLOUD-1964)

  • Gateway caches the Swarm version from the "Server:" response header; therefore, after upgrading Swarm, you must restart Gateway to consistently see the new version. (CLOUD-1271)

  • Gateway install fails if Internet access in not available. (CLOUD-1216)

  • Gateway responds with a 500 (Internal Server Error) instead of 400 (Bad Request) if the size of the metadata headers sent to Swarm is too large. (CLOUD-800)

  • The S3 bucket listing StorageClass response element always reports STANDARD. (CLOUD-766)

  • If an S3 client escapes URI path characters such as "/", the Gateway audit log escapes the "%" characters used by the client as escape characters. URI audit log processing for S3 clients requires double-unescaping when this occurs. (CLOUD-703)

The Gateway software components packaged as RPMs in the distribution and this section describes the method to upgrade existing 5.x installations. Although these steps include instructions for routing traffic away from Gateways during the upgrade process, you may safely skip these if the deployment does not include a load balancer.

  1. Ensure Verify Swarm storage cluster is upgraded to version 9 or later. This includes completing the migration to Elasticsearch 2.3 metadata search servers in conjunction with the Swarm 9 upgrade.

  2. In the load balancer, disable traffic for one Gateway at a time and perform the following upgrade steps for that Gateway. Allow traffic to continue flowing to the other Gateways.

  3. Upgrade the traffic-disabled Gateway.

    1. Stop the Gateway service.

      RHEL/CentOS 6

      Code Block
      languagebash
      service cloudgateway stop

      RHEL/CentOS 7

      Code Block
      languagebash
      systemctl stop cloudgateway
    2. Upgrade the Gateway service:

      Code Block
      languagebash
      yum -y install caringo-gateway-{version}.rpm
    3. If using RHEL/CentOS 7, reload the systemd control scripts:

      Code Block
      languagebash
      systemctl daemon-reload
    4. Review and merge any configuration changes to the gateway.cfg and logging.cfg files in the /etc/caringo/cloudgateway directory.  The new distribution versions are the *.rpmnew files.

    5. Start the Gateway service:

      RHEL/CentOS 6

      Code Block
      languagebash
      service cloudgateway start

      RHEL/CentOS 7

      Code Block
      languagebash
      systemctl start cloudgateway
    6. Verify the Gateway service is running. See the log and curl examples in "Verifying the upgrade," below.

    7. Upgrade the Content Portal:

      Code Block
      languagebash
      yum -y install caringo-gateway-webui-{version}.rpm
  4. In the load balancer, re-enable client traffic to the newly upgraded Gateway and repeat the process for the remaining Gateways.

The Gateway software components packaged as RPMs in the distribution and this section describes the method to upgrade existing 4.x installations. Although these steps include instructions for routing traffic away from Gateways during the upgrade process, skip these if the deployment does not include a load balancer. Since Gateway 4.x is only certified on RHEL/CentOS 6, the commands shown here are only applicable for RHEL/CentOS 6.

  1. Ensure Verify Swarm storage cluster is upgraded to version 9 or later. This includes completing the migration to Elasticsearch 2.3 metadata search servers in conjunction with the Swarm 9 upgrade.

  2. In the load balancer, disable traffic for one Gateway at a time and perform the following upgrade steps for that Gateway. Allow traffic to continue flowing to the other Gateways.
