Breaking Changes#
The GenAI service RPM is now a weak dependency of the
clusternode
service RPM for RHEL 8. It means thatsquirro.service.genai
should be installed by the package managers by default. An installation failure does not affect thesquirro-cluster-node
installation. You can turn off the installation using theinstall_weak_deps=False
flag fordnf
oryum
. You can uninstall thesquirro.service.genai
package without uninstallingsquirro-cluster-node
as well, a typical approach for deployments wheresquirro.service.genai
is not running on the same system assquirro-cluster-node
.top_k_aggregation
does not work if you do not explicitly specifycommunities
in the fields.
