@Rocky which Starrock version should i used to start SR demo

To start a StarRocks demo, the best version depends on whether you want the latest features or the most proven stability. Given that today is in April 2026, here are the recommended versions: 1. Recommended for Quick Demo (Easiest) For a quick demo, it is highly recommended to use the

allin1-ubuntu

Docker image. This image contains all the necessary components (FE and BE) in a single container, making it the fastest way to get started. * Command:

bash
    docker pull starrocks/allin1-ubuntu:latest
    docker run -p 9030:9030 -p 8030:8030 -p 8040:8040 -itd --name quickstart starrocks/allin1-ubuntu

*This typically points to the latest stable release (likely v4.0.x or v4.1.x).* 2. Recommended for Features (Newest) If you want to explore the latest capabilities like StarRocks 4.1 features (released in April 2026), such as the new multi-tenant data management, range-based data distribution, and enhanced vector search (ANN) capabilities, use: * Version: v4.1.x * Why: It includes the most advanced optimizations for Data Lakehouse (Iceberg/Paimon) and performance improvements for JSON and AI workloads. 3. Recommended for Stability (Long-Term Support) If your "demo" is a precursor to a production evaluation where stability is the primary concern, you should use the designated stable branch: * Version: v3.3.x (e.g., v3.3.22) * Why: The 3.3 series is currently considered the most stable "bugfix-only" version, ensuring a very high level of reliability and compatibility.
