8.18.0

Enhancements

This release adds several enhancements to ReactiveSearch pipelines.

• Key/value store support for pipelines, when caching is enabled, you can use key/value store to read/write to the cache.

This allows for new use-cases where data can be stored and retrieved across stages or even across pipeline executions

• Increases stage execution limit to 30s and pipeline execution limit to 1m to support ML inference use-cases

Previous limits were 10s for the pipeline execution, you can run 6x more complex / computation heavy processes now

• Support for async type stages that aren't needed by other stages to be run in the background after the pipeline has exited

For indexing pipelines, this allows for data enrichment to happen asynchronously and for search pipelines, this allows for doing post-processing or side-effect registrations without affecting the main-runtime latency

Fixes

• Fixes usage of document suggestions query when settings.userId isn't specified
