Customers on Spock 5.0.9 or later can now add a 6.0.0 node to their cluster with zodan add_node() instead of upgrading every node first. 5.0.9 stays the floor: zodan already refuses anything older, and releases before 5.0.9 have known issues we do not want in production.

Before this change a 6.0.0 node could not join a 5.0.x cluster: zodan required the same major.minor on every node, and even with that gate removed two things broke against a 5.0.x provider.

  • The 6.0.0 sync worker calls spock.read_peer_progress() on the provider, which only exists in 6.0.0. Probe the provider's spock_version_num() and, below 6.0.0, read peer progress with an inline query against the 5.x spock.progress table. The resume LSN comes from pg_replication_origin_status in both paths, so its meaning is unchanged.

  • zodan polls the source node's spock.progress for remote_commit_lsn, which 5.x still calls remote_lsn. Pick the column name from the source node's Spock version.

Version rule in check_spock_version_compatibility: every node must be 5.0.9 or later; existing nodes must share one major.minor (patch differences allowed); the new node may run the same or a newer major.minor, never an older one, since only the newer sync worker knows how to talk to older providers.

Add tests/tap/t/099_zodan_mixed_version.pl, which adds a current-branch node to a cluster built from an older tag or branch, optionally under pgbench load. Like 014_rolling_upgrade.pl it needs PostgreSQL 18 for extension_control_path.

Tested: 6.0.0 node added to 5.0.9, 5.0.10 and 5.0.11 clusters, idle and under load, plus an all-6.0.0 control run.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The change permits a newer major.minor node to join an existing Zodan cluster. It adds version-aware progress handling in SQL and C, updates documentation, and adds TAP coverage for mixed-version replication.

Mixed-version Zodan support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Version compatibility policy
samples/Z0DAN/zodan.sql, docs/modify/zodan/index.md
Zodan validates existing-node major.minor consistency and permits a new node with the same or newer major.minor version.
Version-specific progress handling
samples/Z0DAN/zodan.sql, src/spock_sync.c
Progress queries select version-appropriate LSN columns and provider progress result fields.
Mixed-version test environment
tests/tap/t/099_zodan_mixed_version.pl
The test builds the required Spock versions, configures a three-node cluster, and prepares replication data and optional load.
Node-add and replication validation
tests/tap/t/099_zodan_mixed_version.pl
The test runs spock.add_node(), checks subscriptions, lag, data, DDL, and DML, then cleans up the cluster.

Poem

A rabbit checks each version line
Newer nodes join the design
Old progress names still guide the way
Three nodes replicate all day
Zodan’s burrow stays in sync

Customers on Spock 5.0.9 or later can now add a 6.0.0 node to their
cluster with zodan add_node() instead of upgrading every node first.
5.0.9 stays the floor: zodan already refuses anything older, and
releases before 5.0.9 have known issues we do not want in production.

Before this change a 6.0.0 node could not join a 5.0.x cluster: zodan
required the same major.minor on every node, and even with that gate
removed two things broke against a 5.0.x provider.

- The 6.0.0 sync worker calls spock.read_peer_progress() on the
  provider, which only exists in 6.0.0. Probe the provider's
  spock_version_num() and, below 6.0.0, read peer progress straight
  from the 5.x spock.progress table. Both queries now select the six
  columns the worker actually uses, by name; the function's header row
  and lsn/snapshot columns were never read (the slot's LSN and snapshot
  come from CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT), so they are no longer requested.
  The resume LSN comes from pg_replication_origin_status in both
  paths, so its meaning is unchanged.

- zodan polls the source node's spock.progress for remote_commit_lsn,
  which 5.x still calls remote_lsn. Pick the column name from the
  source node's Spock version.

Version rule in check_spock_version_compatibility: every node must be
5.0.9 or later; existing nodes must share one major.minor (patch
differences allowed); the new node may run the same or a newer
major.minor, never an older one, since only the newer sync worker
knows how to talk to older providers.

Add tests/tap/t/099_zodan_mixed_version.pl. It builds the old Spock
from origin/v5_STABLE and the new one from HEAD, each into its own
copy of the PostgreSQL install, and starts each node from its own
copy, so nodes have separate spock.so and extension scripts just like
separate hosts. No per-node path settings and no PostgreSQL version
requirement beyond what the two Spock builds support. ZODAN_LOAD=1
adds pgbench load during the add; ZODAN_N12_VER/ZODAN_N12_REF pick
the old version.

Tested: 6.0.0 node added to 5.0.9, 5.0.10 and 5.0.11 clusters, idle
and under load, plus an all-6.0.0 control run, on PostgreSQL 17 and
18.
