Maintenance Release Changelog v8.5

Enhancement: Improved out of memory (OOM) error message to make the message more accurate.

Bugfix: Fixed a crash that could occur when columns were dropped with ALTER TABLE.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue where left join sometimes returned an incorrect result when spilling occurred.

Enhancement: Improved the performance of regular expression (regex) operations.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue where the garbage collection of a partition database's 2PC transaction table could unnecessarily delay the reprovisioning of the reference database.

Bugfix: Fixed deadlock in database recovery due to evicting table module holding an open LOCK.

Enhancement: Added a new max_autostats_update_workers global variable that sets the maximum number of merger threads that the autostats updater can run on.

Enhancement: Fixed the KILLED_QUERIES counter in MV_RESOURCE_POOL_STATUS.

Enhancement: Added a new filter derivation rewrite controlled by the optimizer_not_null_filter_derivation engine variable.

Enhancement: When printing the table digest SHA value, the table DDL schema is also printed to memsql_METADATA.log.

Enhancement: Added metrics to track the availability of unlimited storage and the bottle service.

Bugfix: Fixed a certificate refresh issue for connections to remote storage in long-running clusters.

Enhancement: Added bottle service reliability metrics to MV_BOTTOMLESS_STATUS_EXTENDED.

Bugfix: Fixed a rare issue where a membership-related clustering operation could delay the re-provision or deletion of a cluster database.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue where JSON_MATCH_ANY() queries with MATCH_ELEMENTS evaluated incorrectly on non-array values.

Bugfix: Fixed sporadic reading failures from MV_SYSINFO_CPU.

Bugfix: Clarified the error message produced in some cases where a snapshot gets aborted.

Enhancement: Updated the distributed OpenSSL license file.

Enhancement: Update to certificate loading behavior. Prior to this change, only the first certificate was loaded from a server's .pem file specified via the server configuration. Now all certificates are loaded, so if a .pem file contains a certificates chain, then intermediate CA certificates will be returned by the server.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue where concurrent DROP TABLEs could block a snapshot from running indefinitely.

Enhancement: Added X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000, Cache-control: no-store headers to Data API responses.

Enhancement: Improved performance of VECTOR-type User-Defined Variables(UDVs). No longer require using extra typecast to BLOB datatype.

Bugfix: Fixed a rare race condition where PITR would incorrectly operate on an unrecoverable database.

Bugfix: Fixed a password validation error on ADD AGGREGATOR.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue that could occur when replacing JSON expressions with computed columns in GROUP BY lists.

Enhancement: Added a new engine variable, sampling_estimate_approach, used to configure sampling in columnstore tables.

See Statistics and Sampling Concepts for more information.

Enhancement: Added websocket_proxy.log to the files managed via Trace Log Rotation.

Enhancement: Added a new engine variable: assume_udfs_deterministic. This variable controls behavior where SingleStore will do extra work to avoid issues caused by UDFs that return different values when repeatedly invoked (e.g., are non-deterministic). This variable defaults to false, preserving the existing behavior (since SingleStore version 8.0), where SingleStore will ensure these computations take place once on an aggregator node. When set to true, SingleStore will avoid this extra layer of coordination (and bottleneck) allowing leaf nodes to independently coordinate.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue where in a VM environment SHOW LEAVES could show corrupted latency values due to incorrect values from the system clock if the VM is stopped or migrated.

Enhancement: Added a method to throttle upload ingest when blob cache has low evictability and running out of disk space is imminent. This is controlled via two new engine variables: bottomless_upload_throttle_hard_limit_cache_usability and bottomless_upload_throttle_soft_limit_cache_usability.

bottomless_upload_throttle_hard_limit_cache_usability: The usability (free space + evictable space) of blob cache below which all columnstore ingest is throttled.

bottomless_upload_throttle_soft_limit_cache_usability: The usability (free space + evictable space) of blob cache below which some columnstore ingest is throttled.

Enhancement: Added a new engine variable, enable_extended_types_metadata. Used to enable the handling of extended data types that are not defined in MySQL enum_field_types. Default is disabled. When enabled, SingleStore may send extended metadata to the client. It provides the ability to distinguish between different data types, and handle them appropriately in client applications.

Bugfix: Fixed display of microseconds for default TIMESTAMP(6) column values in system information commands (such as DESCRIBE TABLE or INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS.COLUMN_DEFAULT).

Bugfix: Fixed a potential false positive output for OBSERVE queries during the first delete of large columnstore segments.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue where user defined variables could read collation-related variables incorrectly during a SET @var = ... command.

Enhancement: Allow leading 0x prefix for OBSERVE offsets.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue where the output of the OBSERVE query for the first delete on a columnstore segment was the inverse of expected.

Bugfix: Fixed issue where, in a stored procedure query-type-variable definition, a column was incorrectly assumed to belong to a table in an outer select when it was possible that the column instead belonged to a yet to be defined table.

Enhancement: SingleStore throws an error when inserting incorrect data into vector column for any data_conversion_compatibility_level.

Bugfix: Identified an upgrade scenario that causes a blob leak. As a result, temporarily disallowing shallow table copy for tables created on version 8.0 or before.

Enhancement: Added support for ON NODE clause for SHOW PROFILE PROCESS|PLAN, which forwards the command to another aggregator.

Enhancement: Improved performance of the CREATE PROJECTION command.

Enhancement: Added support to execute KILL QUERY on leaf node IDs.

Bugfix: Unneeded sort fields will no longer be projected to the aggregator.

Enhancement: Enhance table pushdown to union rewrite to enable derived table pushdown based on row count estimation.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue where deleting a local user on a leaf made aggregates fail to run on that leaf.

Bugfix: Fixed a rare issue where Unlimited Storage GC could use up all of the MA's available connections.

Bugfix: Identified an upgrade scenario that causes a blob leak and added a command to delete the leaked blobs.

Enhancement: Updated the MV_BOTTOMLESS_STATUS_EXTENDED information schema table:

• Removed the LATEST_API_FAILURE_RATE and AVERAGE_API_LATENCY_US columns.

• Added the following columns:

  SUCCESS_API_PER_SECOND - Number of successful remote storage api calls per second over the last 30 seconds.

  FAILED_API_PER_SECOND - Number of failed remote storage api calls per second over the last 30 seconds.

  AVERAGE_API_EVENT_LATENCY_US - Average latency to complete a remote storage api event over the past 30 seconds. Includes time taken on retries or waiting for rate limiting.

  AVERAGE_API_RESPONSE_LATENCY_US - Average latency of receiving a response for a remote storage api request. Excludes waiting for rate limiting or retries. NOTE: This is relevant only for S3. otherwise this field is identical to AVERAGE_API_EVENT_LATENCY_US.

Bugfix: Fixed a crash that occurred when dropping a database with tables containing very high and very low column IDs.

Bugfix: Fixed issues with the TO_CHAR() function where results were truncated or reading communication packet errors were generated.

Bugfix: Fixed an integer overflow issue in unique integer columns by changing the storage type to a 32-bit unsigned integer.

Bugfix: Fixed incorrect results in an uncommon scenario where hash join operators with an optimization path need to spill.

Enhancement: The memsql_exporter now collects additional fields from the mv_activities_extended_cumulative information schema view.

Enhancement: Updated the default client.id for the Kafka configuration to the SingleStore partner ID.

Enhancement: Added the following monitoring metrics to the information_schema.mv_bottomless_status_extended view: NUM_SUCCESS_API_REQUESTS, NUM_FAILED_API_REQUESTS, LATEST_API_FAILURE_RATE, AVERAGE_API_LATENCY_US, IS_GC_RUNNING, NUM_REMOTE_FILES_DELETED, and NUM_SLOW_DOWNS.

Bugfix: Fixed a crash that occurred when spilling a hash join operation with at least 3 tables.

Bugfix: Fixed a crash that occurred when running the SHOW CREATE PROJECTIONS command when using the database name in the syntax (SHOW CREATE PROJECTIONS database_name.projection_name...).

Bugfix: Fixed an issue with incorrect results in information_schema.PROJECTIONS when filtering on the PROJECTION_NAME column.

Enhancement: Improved performance related to PIPELINES_BATCHES information schema table.

Enhancement: An engine variable enable_use_of_stale_incremental_stats has been added to allow the query optimizer to use stale statistics instead of querying for statistics during optimization.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue where histograms are built from up to 10x more rows than desired.

Enhancement: Added STORAGE_ID and COMPUTE_ID to INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_STATISTICS, COLUMNAR_SEGMENTS, and MV_COLUMNSTORE_FILES.

Bugfix: Fixed a crash issue with JSON_TO_ARRAY. Disabled JSON_TO_ARRAY TVF join optimization if query does not use the TVF output column.

The crash specifically occurs when JSON_TO_ARRAY join optimization is triggered and when there is no usage of table_col output of the TABLE(JSON_TO_ARRAY()) statement in the evaluation of the query.

For example, prior to this fix:

The following query will crash (because the table_col output of the TABLE(JSON_TO_ARRAY(t.json)) statement is unused):

SELECT t.a FROM t JOIN TABLE(JSON_TO_ARRAY(t.json)) GROUP BY 1;

The following query will NOT crash:

SELECT table_col::a::b, t.a FROM t JOIN TABLE(JSON_TO_ARRAY(t.json)) GROUP BY 1, 2;

Enhancement: Added more information to filesystem error messages.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue in ALTER TABLE when adding a computed column containing JSON_BUILD_OBJECT.

Bugfix: Addressed a crash issue with REGEX_REPLACE.

Bugfix: Reduced stack usage during compilation for some CASE expressions with many WHEN-THEN statements.

Bugfix: Fixed a potential deadlock issue between background garbage collector threads and foreground query execution threads.

Bugfix: Fixed a collation issue in the JSON_COLUMN_SCHEMA information schema table.

Enhancement: SingleStore now supports module eviction of idle tables with an ALTER history. This means that, prior to the 8.5.20 release, tables that had been altered could not be evicted. Altered here includes CREATE INDEX, ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN, and some others.

Bugfix: Fixed a bug with Wasm UDFs where REPLACE FUNCTION did not correctly evict from the plancache, causing continued usage of the old UDF after replacement.

Bugfix: Fixed an upgrade issue present in version 8.5.17.

Bugfix: Fixed a BSON issue that could occur when large documents are read and mistakenly reported as corrupted.

Enhancement: Upgraded OpenSSL 1.0.2u to 1.0.2zj

Enhancement: Added a new engine variable, enable_extended_types_metadata. Used to enable the handling of extended data types that are not defined in MySQL enum_field_types. Default is disabled. When enabled, SingleStore may send extended metadata to the client. It provides the ability to distinguish between different data types, and handle them appropriately in client applications.

Bugfix: Addressed a crash issue occurring while executing queries with vector builtins on clusters running via Docker containers on Mac machines equipped with Apple silicon processors (M1).

Bugfix: No longer show information_schema pipeline metadata of databases that are not attached to the workspace.

Enhancement: Use SeekableString encoding by default for storing VECTOR datatype columns in columnstore tables.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue that caused rare "Arrangement already exists in namespace" errors in recursive CTE queries.

Bugfix: Improved the hashGroupBy spilling condition to trigger (spill) when appropriate.

Enhancement: Idle Table Eviction improvement. In the 8.5 GA version, an idle table's objects cannot be evicted from memory if the table has one or more UNIQUE key columns (both PRIMARY KEYs and any other keys with a UNIQUE constraint). In the 8.5.11 patch, idle tables' code objects can be evicted from memory if the table has one or more UNIQUE key columns.

Enhancement: Added numInferredPaths and schemaSize as new columns to JSON_COLUMN_SCHEMA table. numInferredPaths is the number of key paths inferred for the segment. schemaSize is the size of schema_json in bytes.

Bugfix: Added safety checks around dropping databases without exclusive access to storage.

Enhancement: Added logging to heartbeat thread in order to better diagnose process stalls. This logging is enabled/disabled via the new verbose_time_heartbeat_thread engine variable. The default value is off, setting this to on will enable the logging.

Enhancement: Added the ability to collect and send SingleStore Self-Managed usage telemetry data to SingleStore via the EXPORT TELEMETRY sql command (for 1-time or ad hoc use) or the send_usage_telemetry engine variable. This defaults to OFF. Added an associated information schema table: usage_telemetry_status.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue where explicitly defining a JSON type in the RETURNS of a Wasm TVF can cause an error when it is run.

Bugfix: Fixed a rare crash scenario.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue that could lead to the risk of undefined behavior when running DROP EXTENSION IF EXISTS.

Enhancement: IN-lists will now use hashmap optimization for matching parameters in *_MATCH_ANY statements.

Enhancement: Made default_distributed_ddl_timeout a sync variable on all nodes.

Enhancement: Modified the conversion logic for converting from VECTOR to BSON types. Now, when casting VECTOR(F32), it will generate a BSON array of doubles, rather than a combination of numeric types.

Bugfix: Addressed a family of issues relating to optimal execution of JSON extracts on schema'd data.

Bugfix: Fixed an issue with regression in replay performance for databases with many tables.
