  • Return JSON results in the same order as the query.
  • Get rid of sync.Pool in postings which stabilizes memory used by the Dgraph process.
  • Compress posting lists using bit packing and delta encoding with simd instructions so that it uses lesser memory.

Client

Changes

  • Renamed dateTime tokenizer to year.
    [*] - TODO - Mention in docs.
