REST Management API produces error when attempting to create forest on another host

Using the REST Management API (/manage/v2/forests) to create a forest produces a MANAGE-PRECONDITIONFAILED error and fails when the app server being called is not the same as the host server for the forest being created.

Cluster creation failed with existing VPC template

When the CloudFormation template for existing VPC are used to create a MarkLogic cluster on AWS and if the existing VPC has not enabled "DNS hostnames", the stack creation will fail because the template relies on private DNS.

The get-pending-certificate-request result is incorrect

The get-pending-certificate-request operation incorrectly returns an XML structure that includes both the CSR but also additional information that's irrelevant to getting the CSR signed.

REST API did not detect attempt to change pay-as-you-go license

The query operator was missing from the HTML view.

SPARQL Insert and Delete query produced two bnodes for a predicate.

Starting in MarkLogic Server 9.0-8, SPARQL Insert and Delete query produced two bnodes for a predicate.

XDMP-PARENTLINK error when xsi:schemaLocation or xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation specified

When fragment roots are specified for a database and when inserting a document with a relevant xsi:schemaLocation or xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute on a child fragment of the document, a XDMP-PARENTLINK error is thrown and the document is not inserted.

Custom tokenizer interferes with use of roles

A custom (plugin) tokenizer that reanalyzes certain letters as punctuation can cause the use of security APIs over roles to fail, for example reporting the role does not exist.

multiplication and division of a large number sometimes yield wrong results in XQuery

In some cases, multiplication and division of a large number in XQuery yield wrong results due to overflow.

REST Management API can not create disabled scheduled backups

Scheduled backups created through the REST Management API are enabled even if the `backup-enabled` property is specifically set to false at the time of creation.

REST Management API respects forest ordering

Prior to 9.0-9, the order of forests in the `forests` property was irrelevant. Starting with this release, the forests will be placed in the order specified in that property.

XDMP:DOCUMENT-FILTER does not extract content from some Excel documents

XDMP:DOCUMENT-FILTER extracts metadata, but does not extract content from some valid Excel documents generated by a 3rd party automated tool. Server does not log any errors to indicate a problem filtering the document.

MLCP currently has issues handling large numbers of 'naked' properties fragments

MLCP uses a query to identify all the "naked" properties fragments in a given database and fails in cases where there are very large numbers of these; this is due to the fact that the current operation happens in a single loop which can trigger Expanded Tree Cache full (XDMP-EXPNTREECACHEFULL) exceptions.

mlcp reports wrong line number when importing delimited text file.

When the delimited text file being imported doesn't have a newline character at the end of file, mlcp reports wrong line number.

SQL queries on TDE views return duplicate rows for non-admin users

When a view is defined in several TDE templates that are inserted with different permissions, SQL queries might return duplicated rows of data unless run with the admin role.

xdmp.documentFilter() incorrectly extracts some GPS data

When a TDE table that a user has permission to is being reindexed, a SQL-TABLEREINDEXING exception is returned instead of SQL-TABLENOTFOUND.

Restoring an incremental backup is excessively I/O intensive. This is most noticeable restoring from S3.

XDMP-WRONGHOST is reported when host is re-added to cluster

When MarkLogic Server, data and configuration files are removed from a host while it is still part of a cluster, XDMP-WRONGHOST is reported when a user reinstalls MarkLogic Server and attempts to add it as a new host to the cluster.

Better diagnosis and repair facilities for Database Replication.

Increase log level and update the message for not replicating due to version differences.

Azure VM fails to start with missing custom data file

MarkLogic won't start on Azure if there is no custom data for the VM

TDE: nullable columns not represented as expected when using ODBC to describe the row data

Nullable columns are being listed as not nullable in the ODBC row descriptions, which is causing problems with some applications trying to connect to MarkLogic over an ODBC connection.

Setting the "emailmode" option "AllHeaders" in document filter produces useless results

When filtering email messages, using the "AllHeaders" value for the "emailmode" option to xdmp:document-filter creates a single meta tag with all the extra headers concatenated together.

Under some circumstances, using XCC and an AdhocQuery to load a document into MarkLogic Server where the document is bound as an external variable (using ValueFactory.newElement). A subsequent cts:element-value-query will not find the document unless unstemmed searching is specifed. This has been seen with a MarkLogic 8 instance that has been upgraded to MarkLogic 9.
