General Changes

  • Fix an issue where queries could encounter an int overflow error during spilling.
  • Fix hamming_distance() to handle code point zero correctly.
  • Fix caching and case-sensitivity bugs with type signatures for enum types.
  • Fix a bug where queries could produce wrong results when they have multiple lambda expressions that only differ in complex type constants (:issue:15424).
  • Improve performance of cross joins.
  • Add peak_node_total_memory to statistics to allow monitoring the peak sum of memory used across tasks at any node by a query.
  • Add support for spilling joins when using materialized exchanges.
  • Add support for thrift transport for TaskStatus. This can be enabled using config property experimental.internal-communication.thrift-transport-enabled.

Druid Changes

  • Fix druid reading issue caused by using the ARRAY_LINES result format.

Hive Changes

  • Fix a bug with reading encrypted DWRF tables where queries could fail with a NullPointerException.
  • Add support for AWS SDK client request metrics and Glue API metrics to GlueHiveMetastore.

Pinot Changes

  • Add support for querying Pinot server with streaming API (with Pinot version >= 0.6.0). The API can be enabled by setting the configuration property pinot.use-streaming-for-segment-queries=true.

Verifier Changes

  • Fix an issue where queries are always directed to the first cluster when multiple control or test clusters are specified.
  • Improve handling of memory limits by using the verifier cluster’s memory limits instead of the limits defined while running the query.
  • Add control and test session properties to Verifier output.
