System Requirements

From PoolParty 10.0 the traditional installer packages have been replaced by containerized distributions. All components are shipped as OCI-compliant images and can be deployed using Docker Compose or Kubernetes Helm charts which are platform agnostic.

The current Graph Modeling (formerly PoolParty) version requires OpenJDK 21.

You can check your Java version by typing the following command in a console:

java -version

The current version of Graph Modeling (formerly PoolParty) ships with Elasticsearch version 9.2.4.

Warning

This represents a breaking change resulting in the necessity to upgrade Elasticsearch to 9.2.4 and migrate the indices. Refer to Upgrading Elasticsearch to version 9.3.3 for all details.

Important

As this upgrade is a breaking change you have to create a full backup (snapshot) of your data in order to be able to roll back if required as the 9.2.4 indices are not backward compatible with the 8.18.x version.

Warning

If you want to use the Relevance Scoring feature and you are migrating from PoolParty 10.0 or lower, you have to ensure that you update the Elasticsearch indices by running $URL/PoolParty/!/migrate/upgrade where you will trigger the re-indexing. Wait until re-indexing has been successfully completed without any errors before continuing in this integrated Migration tool. This is necessary to be able to use the Relevance Scoring feature. This Migration tool is shipped with Graph Modeling (formerly PoolParty).

Before updating the index you have to create a full backup (snapshot) in order to be able to roll back if required.

The current Graph Modeling (formerly PoolParty) version ships with Keycloak 25.0.6

Important

Since the database originally coming with Keycloak is not intended for productive deployment it is necessary to change over to an external DB (PostgreSQL)

To be able to use Keycloak in productive environments PostgreSQL should be used as the external Keycloak DB.

The current Graph Modeling (formerly PoolParty) version ships with Apache Spark 4.0.1 (Scala 2.13.16 ); only using this version guarantees that the remote Spark will work.
