Release 0.288

Warning

The tarball package presto-server-0.288.tar.gz does not include the Presto Console. This has been fixed in the patch version 0.288.1. #23327

Highlights

  • Improve handling of floating point numbers in Presto to consistently treat NaNs as larger than any other number and equal to itself. It also changes the handling of positive and negative zero to always be considered equal to each other. For more information, see RFC-0001-nan-definition.md. The new nan behavior can be disabled by setting the configuration property use-new-nan-definition to false. This configuration property is intended to be temporary to ease migration in the short term, and will be removed in a future release. #22386

  • Add procedure expire_snapshots to remove old snapshots in Iceberg. #22609

  • Add support for Iceberg REST catalog. #22417

  • Add support for NOT NULL column constraints in the CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements. This only takes effect for Hive connector now. #22064

Details

General Changes

  • Fix CAST of REAL values outside of BIGINT range to return an exception with an INVALID_CAST_ARGUMENT error code. Previously they would silently overflow. #22917

  • Fix HBO to skip tracking of stats for plan nodes affected by dynamic filter pushdown in presto cpp. #22853

  • Fix a bug where map_top_n() could return wrong results if there is any NaN input. #22386

  • Fix a bug with array_min/array_max where it would return NaN rather than null when there was both NaN and null input. #22386

  • Fix an error for some queries using a mix of joins and semi-joins when grouped execution is enabled. #22538

  • Fix array_join() to not add a trailing delimeter when the last element in the array is NULL. #22652

  • Fix cast of NaN and Infinity from DOUBLE or REAL to BIGINT, INTEGER, SMALLINT, and TINYINT. It will now return an exception with the INVALID_CAST_ARGUMENT error code. Previously it would return zero. #22917

  • Fix compilation error for queries with lambda in aggregation function. #22539

  • Fix incorrect behaviors when defining duplicate field names in RowType and throw exception uniformly. #22618

  • Fix wrong results for regr_r2(). #22611

  • Fix the latency regression for queries with large IN clause. #22661

  • Fix wrong results when queries using materialized CTEs have multiple common filters pushed into the CTE. #22700

  • Improve EXPLAIN ANALYZE statement to support a format argument with values of <TEXT|JSON>. #22733

  • Improve README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md. #22918

  • Improve configuring worker threads relative to core count by setting the task.max-worker-threads configuration property to <multiplier>C. For example, setting the property to 2C configures the worker thread pool to create up to twice as many threads as there are cores available on a machine. #22809

  • Improve logging for RowExpressionRewriteRuleSet and StatsRecordingPlanOptimizer optimizers to include more information. #22765

  • Improve session property property-use_broadcast_when_buildsize_small_probeside_unknown to do broadcast join when probe side size is unknown and build side estimation from HBO is small. #22681

  • Improve the estimation stats recorded during query optimization. #22769

  • Improve Presto C++ documentation. #22717

  • Improve error code for cast from DOUBLE or REAL to BIGINT, INTEGER, SMALLINT or TINYINT for out of range values from NUMERIC_VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE to INVALID_CAST_ARGUMENT. #22917

  • Improve handling of floating point numbers in Presto to consistently treat NaNs as larger than any other number and equal to itself. It also changes the handling of positive and negative zero to always be considered equal to each other. Read more here: https://github.com/prestodb/rfcs/blob/main/RFC-0001-nan-definition.md. The new nan behavior can be disabled by setting the configuration property use-new-nan-definition to false. This configuration property is intended to be temporary to ease migration in the short term, and will be removed in a future release. #22386

  • Improve the performance of reading common table expressions (CTE). #22478

  • Improve join performance by prefiltering the build side with distinct keys from the probe side. This can be enabled with the join_prefilter_build_side session property. #22667

  • Add HBO for CTE materialized query. #22606

  • Add support for CTAS on bucketed (but not partitioned) tables for Presto C++ clusters. #22737

  • Add support for NOT NULL column constraints in the CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements. This only takes effect for Hive connector now. #22064

  • Add Presto C++ Properties Reference documentation. #22885

  • Add PR number to the release note entry examples in pull_request_template.md. #22665

  • Add http-server.authentication.allow-forwarded-https configuration property to recognize X-Forwarded-Proto header. #22492

  • Add node-scheduler.max-preferred-nodes configuration property to allow changing number of preferred nodes when soft affinity scheduling is enabled. #22562

  • Add documentation for noisy_approx_set_sfm_from_index_and_zeros(). #22799

  • Add documentation for noisy aggregate functions at Noisy Aggregate Functions, including noisy_approx_distinct_sfm() and noisy_approx_set_sfm(). #22715

  • Add support for memoizing in resource group state info endpoint. This can be enabled by setting cluster-resource-group-state-info-expiration-duration to a non-zero duration. #22764

  • Add support for non default keystore and truststore type in presto CLI and JDBC. #22556

  • Add support for querying system.runtime.tasks table in Presto C++ clusters. #21416

  • Add two system configuration properties to specify the reserved query memory capacity on Presto C++ clusters: query-reserved-memory-gb is the total amount of memory in GB reserved for the queries on a worker node. memory-pool-reserved-capacity is the amount of memory in bytes reserved for each query. #22593

  • Replace the Presto native stats definition and reporting for the memory allocator, in-memory cache and ssd cache metrics from Presto repo to Velox repo, with the metrics names changing from presto_cpp.<metrics_name> to velox.<metrics_name>. #22751

  • Remove deprecated feature and configuration property deprecated.group-by-uses-equal, which allowed group by to use equal to rather than distinct semantics. #22888

  • Upgrade CI pipeline to build and publish Presto C++ worker docker image. #22806

  • Upgrade Alluxio to 313. #22958

  • Upgrade io.jsonwebtoken artifacts to 0.11.5. #22762

  • Add support for NOT NULL column constraints in the CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements for the Hive connector. #22064

Iceberg Connector Changes

  • Improve the partition specs that must be checked to determine if the partition supports metadata deletion or predicate thoroughly pushdown. #22753
