FlowX.AI v5.3.0 is an incremental update from v5.2.0 with one breaking change related to FlowX Engine configuration structure.

​
What’s changing

FlowX.AI v5.3.0 introduces a breaking change to the FlowX Engine partitioning and archiving configuration structure. The scheduler.dataPartitioning section has been removed, and archiving settings have been reorganized under partitioning.archiving.

​
Who is affected

This breaking change only affects deployments that have:
  • Enabled data partitioning in FlowX Engine (FLOWX_DATA_PARTITIONING_ENABLED=true)
  • Configured archiving settings (SCHEDULER_DATAPARTITIONING_ENABLED=true)
If you have not enabled these features, you should still update your configuration files for future compatibility, but there is no immediate operational impact.

​
Migration process

1

Review configuration changes

Understand the new configuration structure and identify which settings need to be updated in your deployment
2

Update configuration files

Update your FlowX Engine configuration files (YAML or environment variables) following the migration steps
3

Deploy and verify

Deploy the updated configuration and verify that partitioning and archiving continue to work correctly

​
Key changes summary

​
Configuration structure

What’s removed:
  • scheduler.dataPartitioning section with enabled and cronExpression settings
What’s added:
  • partitioning.archiving subsection containing all archiving-related settings
What’s moved:
  • retention-intervals moved from partitioning to partitioning.archiving
  • detached-partition-compression moved to partitioning.archiving
  • moved-data-batch-size moved to partitioning.archiving
  • cronExpression moved from scheduler.dataPartitioning to partitioning.archiving

​
Environment variables

5 environment variables have been renamed to reflect the new structure:

FLOWX_DATA_PARTITIONING_MOVED_DATA_BATCH_SIZEFLOWX_DATA_PARTITIONING_ARCHIVING_MOVED_DATA_BATCH_SIZE

​
Backward compatibility

No backward compatibility: The old configuration structure is not supported in v5.3.0 and causes FlowX Engine startup errors.You must update your configuration before or immediately after upgrading to v5.3.0.

​
Rollback support

If you need to rollback from v5.3.0 to v5.2.x:
  1. Revert your configuration files to the previous structure
  2. Restore environment variables to their previous names
  3. Downgrade the FlowX Engine container/pod to the previous version
Database schema changes are forward-compatible. Ensure you have database backups before any upgrade.
This is a configuration-only change. No code changes, data migration, or schema updates are required.
