Oracle NoSQL Database 2.0.26 is a patch release consisting of several 
improvements as well as a number of important bug fixes. We strongly 
recommend that users of the 2.0.x version upgrade to this release. These 
fixes include:

  * [#21763] - Several corrections were made to latency statistics.
    These corrections apply to the service-side statistics in the Admin
    console, CLI |show perf| command, .perf files and .csv files, as
    well as the client-side statistics returned by KVStore.getStats.
    However, corrections to the 95% and 99% values do not apply to the
    client-side statistics, since these values do not appear in the
    client-side API.

  * [#21962] - Modified the Administration Process to allocate ports
    from within a port range if one is specified by the /-servicerange/
    argument to the /makebootconfig/ utility. If the argument is not
    specified the Administration Process will use any available port.
    Please see the Admin Guide
    <http://docs.oracle.com/cd/NOSQL/html/AdminGuide/> for details
    regarding the configuration of ports used by Oracle NoSQL Database.

  * [#22015] - Modified the replication node to handle the unlikely case
    that the locally stored topology is missing. A missing topology
    results in a java.lang.NullPointerException being thrown in the
    TopologyManager and will prevent the replication node from starting.

  * [#21942] - Replication Node memory calculations are more robust for
    Storage Nodes that host multiple Replication Nodes. In previous
    releases, using the plan change-params command to reduce the
    capacity parameter for a Storage Node which hosts multiple
    Replication Nodes could result in an over aggressive increase in RN
    heap, which would make the Replication Nodes fail at startup. The
    problem would be fixed when a topology was rebalanced, but until
    that time, the Replication Nodes were unavailable. The default
    memory sizing calculation now factors in the number of RNs resident
    on a Storage Node, and adjusts RN heap sizes as Replication Nodes
    are relocated by the deploy-topology command.
