Deprecated Features

This index helps you to identify deprecated features in Redpanda releases and plan necessary upgrades or modifications.

Deprecated in Feature Details

23.3.2

space_management_enable_override

This property was a workaround in older version of Redpanda. It is no longer required and the property is ignored.

23.3.1

delete_retention_ms

Use log_retention_ms instead.

23.2.12

partition_autobalancing_movement_batch_size_bytes

Use partition_autobalancing_concurrent_moves instead.

23.2.1

Cluster and Console custom resources

Use the Redpanda resource instead.

22.2.1

health_monitor_tick_interval

No longer required. Previously, health refreshes were triggered based on this interval, potentially leading to scenarios where stale health metadata was accessed after a leadership change. The revised mechanism triggers a health refresh only when the controller leader’s health metadata becomes stale. Now, whenever a health report is requested, Redpanda checks the age of the metadata. If stale, a refresh request is dispatched to contact the leader directly or to gather fresh information from the cluster. This change ensures that health metadata remains accurate, eliminating unnecessary periodic checks.
