Minimum usable client versions

The following matrix shows the minimal client version that ensures non-breaking operation against the given server version. Applications using older client versions may still work, if they do not use developer API functionality affected by the breaking changes specified below.

Aerospike server version 5.2 introduced filter expressions as an upgrade to the predicate expressions query language. The predicate expression system was supported until server version 6.0, when it was removed.

In the "Minimum usable client versions" chart, the client version number in parentheses is usable with the corresponding server version as long as the application has migrated to using filter expressions (using a client version that supports both filter and predicate expressions). Otherwise, the higher-numbered client version ensures predicate expressions cannot be used with server versions that don't support them.

Major server changes

Server versionBreaking change
6.3.0.0Removed the jobs: info command.
6.0.0.0Removed predicate expressions (PredExp).
5.6.0.2Removed scan policies percent, failOnClusterChange, and priority.
4.9.0Client applications must support the new style truncate command, and the batch-index protocol for batch operations.
4.4.0.4Removed support for batch-direct.
3.14.0.0Removed suport for set-delete.

4 Refers to a transaction of read operations (`operate`) run in a batch against multiple keys.
5 Node.js client supports TLS on Linux only.
6 Node.js has RBAC support for connections to EE clusters, but not the management of users and roles.
