This feature will allow you to plan for 99.999% uptime, a key requirement that will make CE an option for enterprise deployments. Check out the <a href='https:\/\/griddb.net\/en\/docs\/GridDB_Reliability_and_Robustness_1.0.7.pdf'>GridDB Reliability and Robustness Whitepaper<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Geospatial data types<\/h2>\n<p>With GridDB&#8217;s Geometry data type, you can store index points, linestrings, polygons, and polyhedral surfaces.

This feature can reduce the size of your timeseries data requirements up to 30% or more.

In 4.1, a container can have up to 32000 columns depending on the column type and block size of the container.<\/p>\n<h2>Improving a dynamic schema change (column addition)<\/h2>\n<p>V4.1 makes it easier to add columns to a container. Previously a new container would need to be created, then have data copied to it. Or you&#8217;d need to have your application handle multiple data types within a container. But fortunately now it is possible to add columns to the end of a column schema; look for a blog post detailing this feature soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the version 4.1 release of GridDB Standard Edition (SE), Community Edition (CE) has also gotten an update bringing some new features that were previously only available in SE.
