11.44. Release 0.186

Warning

This release has a stability issue that may cause query failures in large deploymentsdue to HTTP requests timing out.

General Changes

  • Fix excessive GC overhead caused by map to map cast.
  • Fix implicit coercions for ROW types, allowing operations betweencompatible types such as ROW(INTEGER) and ROW(BIGINT).
  • Fix issue that may cause queries containing expensive functions, such as regularexpressions, to continue using CPU resources even after they are killed.
  • Fix performance issue caused by redundant casts.
  • Fix json_parse() to not ignore trailing characters. Previously,input such as [1,2]abc would successfully parse as [1,2].
  • Fix leak in running query counter for failed queries. The counter wouldincrement but never decrement for queries that failed before starting.
  • Reduce coordinator HTTP thread usage for queries that are queued or waiting for data.
  • Reduce memory usage when building data of VARCHAR or VARBINARY types.
  • Estimate memory usage for GROUP BY more precisely to avoid out of memory errors.
  • Add queued time and elapsed time to the client protocol.
  • Add query_max_execution_time session property and query.max-execution-time configproperty. Queries will be aborted after they execute for more than the specified duration.
  • Add inverse_normal_cdf() function.
  • Add Geospatial Functions including functions for processing Bing tiles.
  • Add Spill to Disk for joins.
  • Add Redshift Connector.

Resource Groups Changes

  • Query Queues are deprecated in favor of Resource Groupsand will be removed in a future release.
  • Rename the maxRunning property to hardConcurrencyLimit. The oldproperty name is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
  • Fail on unknown property names when loading the JSON config file.

JDBC Driver Changes

  • Allow specifying an empty password.
  • Add getQueuedTimeMillis() and getElapsedTimeMillis() to QueryStats.

Hive Changes

  • Fix FileSystem closed errors when using Kerberos authentication.
  • Add support for path style access to the S3 file system. This can be enabledby setting the hive.s3.path-style-access=true config property.

SPI Changes

  • Add an ignoreExisting flag to ConnectorMetadata::createTable().
  • Remove the getTotalBytes() method from RecordCursor and ConnectorPageSource.

Note

These are backwards incompatible changes with the previous SPI.If you have written a connector, you will need to update your codebefore deploying this release.
