Redshift connector changes#

  • Fix incorrect insertion of data when the target table has an unsupported type.

JDBC based connectors changes#

  • Add metadata cache that is configured with metadata.cache-ttl and metadata.cache-missing. By default caching is disabled (equivalent to metadata.cache-ttl=0s and metadata.cache-missing=false).

  • Collect JMX metrics about metadata information collection and connection usage.

Elasticsearch connector changes#

  • Add support for datetimes exposed as numbers in Elasticsearch

  • Handle mixed-case columns in Elasticsearch

Update 1#

General changes#

  • Fix incorrect query results when query contains LEFT JOIN over UNNEST.

  • Fix accounting of semantic analysis time when queued queries are cancelled.

  • Support user groups in file-based resource group selectors.

  • Support JSON-style lists in addition to regular expressions in file-based resource group selectors.

  • Improve performance when processing columns of map type.

Hive connector changes#

  • Fix a CDH 5.x metastore compatibility issue resulting in failure when inserting data into, or analyzing a table with date columns.

  • Improve concurrency when updating table or partition statistics.

Teradata connector changes#

  • Support unbounded varchar type in CREATE TABLE statement.

  • Support UTF-8 characters.

Teradata Direct connector changes#

  • Support unbounded varchar type in CREATE TABLE statement.

  • Support UTF-8 characters.

Oracle connector changes#

  • Add connection pooling support. Pooling is enabled by default as a performance improvement and requires Oracle’s ucp.jar. See Starburst Oracle connector for details.

Update 2#

General changes#

  • Support LDAP referrals in LDAP password authenticator

Update 3#

General changes#

  • Support narrowing type coercions for insert queries.

  • Add error_type and error_code columns to system.runtime.queries.

Hive connector changes#

  • Fix incorrect data returned when using S3 Select on uncompressed files. In our testing, S3 Select was apparently returning incorrect results when reading uncompressed files, so S3 Select is disabled for uncompressed files.

  • Fix incorrect data returned when using S3 Select on a table with skip.header.line.count or skip.footer.line.count property. S3 Select API does not support skipping footers or more than one line of a header. In our testing, S3 Select was apparently sometimes returning incorrect results when reading a compressed file with header skipping, so S3 Select is disabled when any of these table properties is set to non-zero value.

  • Improve performance of distributed snowflake connector.

BigQuery connector changes#

  • Update supported BigQuery JDBC driver.
