v.21.9Backward Incompatible Changes
Indices Now Support Nullable Types with On-Disk Format Changes
Now indices can handle Nullable types, includingisNullandisNotNull. #12433 and #12455 (Amos Bird) and #27250 (Azat Khuzhin). But this was done with on-disk format changes, and even though new server can read old data, old server cannot. Also, in case you haveMINMAXdata skipping indices, you may getData after mutation/merge is not byte-identicalerror, since new index will have.idx2extension while before it was.idx. That said, that you should not delay updating all existing replicas, in this case, otherwise, if old replica (<21.9) will download data from new replica with 21.9+ it will not be able to apply index for downloaded part.
