13.3. Release 0.240

Highlights

  • Add ability to spill window functions to local disk when a worker is out of memory.
  • Add support for inlining SQL functions at query planning time.
  • Add support for limit pushdown through union.
  • Add geometry_from_geojson() and geometry_as_geojson() to convert geometries from and to GeoJSON format.

Details

General Changes

  • Fix compiler error due to incorrect LambdaDefinitionExpression canonicalization.
  • Fix compiler error in certain situations where sql functions with same lambda are used multiple times.
  • Add IF EXISTS and IF NOT EXISTS syntax to ALTER TABLE.
  • Add query.max-scan-physical-bytes configuration and query_max_scan_physical_bytes session properties to limit total number of bytes read from storage during table scan. The default limit is 1PB.
  • Add support for inlining SQL functions at query planning time. This feature is enabled by default, and can be disabled with the inline_sql_functions session property.
  • Add geometry_from_geojson() and geometry_as_geojson() to convert geometries from and to GeoJSON format.
  • Add support for pushdown of dereference expressions for querying nested data. This can be enabled with the pushdown_dereference_enabled session property or the experimental.pushdown-dereference-enabled configuration property.
  • Use local private credentials (json key file) to refresh GCS access token. Usage : presto-cli –extra-credential hive.gcs.credentials.path=”${PRIVATE_KEY_JSON_PATH}”.
  • Add ability to spill window functions to local disk when a worker is out of memory.
  • Add support for limit pushdown through union.

Thrift Connector Changes

  • Rename presto-thrift-connector-api to presto-thrift-api and have separate packages for datatypes, valuesets and connector.

Verifier Changes

  • Fix an issue where Verifier fails to start when failure resolver is disabled.
  • Add configuration property test_name, to be passed in to the client info blob.
  • Add support to implement customized way of launching Presto queries.
  • Add support to populate client info for the queries issued by Verifier.
  • Add support to resubmit verification if test query fails with HIVE_PARTITION_OFFLINE.
  • Add support to run helper queries on a separate cluster other than the control cluster.
  • Add support to skip running control queries and comparing results. This can be enabled by configuration property skip-control.

Cassandra Changes

  • Add TLS security support.

Druid Changes

  • Add support for union all operation with more than 1 druid source.
  • Add support for filter on top of Aggregation.
  • Fix unhandled HTTP response error for druid client.

Elasticserarch Changes

  • Add support for IP data type.

Geospatial Changes

  • Improve geometry_to_bing_tiles() performance. It is 50x faster on complex polygons, the limit on polygon complexity is removed, and some correctness bugs have been fixed.
  • Add geometry_to_dissolved_bing_tiles function, which dissolves complete sets of child tiles to their parent.
  • Introduce bing_tile_children() and bing_tile_parent() functions to get parents and children of a Bing tile.

Hive Changes

  • Fix parquet statistics when min/max is not set.
  • Improve split generation performance.
  • Add support for Hudi realtime input format for hudi realtime queries.
  • Add support for splitting hive files when skip.header.line.count=1.
  • Allow presto-hive to use custom parquet input formats.

Kafka Changes

  • Support INSERT in Kafka connector.

SPI Changes

  • Allow procedures to accept optional parameters.
