this is awesome - thank you @Greg Spiegelberg!!

@Priyanka Sharma fyi ☝️@Dan Danese (Dumb Guy Dan)

@Greg Spiegelberg Looks great! Quick question - As you mentioned it currently supports RHEL 8 variants. Given that CentOS 7 is a RHEL 7 variant, are there any known compatibility issues or limitations if we try running it on CentOS 7? Would it require minor adjustments, or are there fundamental differences that would prevent it from working?

Just want to throw my 2 cents into the ring, been using this monitoring setup alongside Greg and watching it grow for the past few months and it's been rock solid. It's something our users are super familiar with as well and have been using quite a bit. Excellent work as always @Greg Spiegelberg

Hello, This is Jimmy(ex-greenplum). it is good to see so many old friends here.

Hello, what does this message mean?

"FATAL","57P03","connections to primary segments are not allowed","This database instance is running as a primary segment in a Cloudberry cluster and does not permit direct connections.","To force a connection anyway (dangerous!), use utility mode.

how can we avoid this? ty br andreas

@sai Can we provide some logs for analysis?

@Max Yang We have it under control. Suspect either WAL, catalog corruption, or both resulting in many primary-mirror pairs unable to start. Had to hack the code and do unmentionable things to the database.

HI folks, is there any problem with using Ubuntu for running Cloudberry? We've been using Ubuntu 18 (bionic) to run Greenplum V6 for years and it has worked fine. I see the list of officially supported OSs here: https://cloudberry.apache.org/docs/cbdb-op-software-hardware/. I'm not sure what that even means that those versions listed are supported. Supported by whom? In what manner?

🚀 Big news! Apache SeaTunnel 2.3.11 is out — and now includes native support for Apache Cloudberry! 🎉 This integration brings Cloudberry to the SeaTunnel data integration ecosystem — great for anyone working with large-scale data pipelines. Docs: • Sink - https://seatunnel.apache.org/docs/2.3.11/connector-v2/sink/Cloudberry • Source - https://seatunnel.apache.org/docs/2.3.11/connector-v2/source/Cloudberry

☀️ Happy Monday, Cloudberry community! 🎉 We’re transitioning from

greenplum_path.sh

to

cloudberry-env.sh

via a two-phase plan: 🎉 • Phase 1 (2.0): You’ll see a notice when running

source greenplum_path.sh

, clarifying our independence from Broadcom’s Greenplum. • Phase 2 (2.1+): The script will be fully renamed to

cloudberry-env.sh

. Check out the notice blog here: https://cloudberry.apache.org/blog/from-greenplum-path.sh-to-cloudberry-env.sh Let us know your thoughts! 🙏

Good day for everyone! I want to ask just for satisfy my curiosity. Is it possible to compile and run PAX under the vanilla postgres (PG14 for example)?
