    • Parquet scans are now robust against OOMs when scanning exceptionally structured files by dynamically adjusting batch size. File metadata is analyzed to preemptively lower batch size and is lowered again on task retries as a final safety net.

    • If an Avro file was read with just the failOnUnknownFields\ option or with Auto Loader in the failOnNewColumns\ schema evolution mode, columns that have different data types would be read as null\ instead of throwing an error stating that the file cannot be read. These reads now fail and recommend users to use the rescuedDataColumn\ option.

    • Auto Loader now does the following.

      • Correctly reads and no longer rescues Integer, Short, and Byte types if one of these data types is provided, but the Avro file suggests one of the other two types.

      • Prevents reading interval types as date or time stamp types to avoid getting corrupt dates.

      • Prevents reading Decimal types with lower precision.

    • [SPARK-43172] Exposes host and token from Spark connect client.

  • April 25, 2023

    • If a Parquet file was read with just the failOnUnknownFields option or with Auto Loader in the failOnNewColumns schema evolution mode, columns that had different data types would be read as null instead of throwing an error stating that the file cannot be read. These reads now fail and recommend users to use the rescuedDataColumn option.

    • Auto Loader now correctly reads and no longer rescues Integer, Short, and Byte types if one of these data types is provided. The Parquet file suggests one of the other two types. When the rescued data column was previously enabled, the data type mismatch would cause columns to be saved even though they were readable.

    • [SPARK-43009] Parameterized sql() with Any constants

    • [SPARK-42406] Terminate Protobuf recursive fields by dropping the field

  • March 29, 2023

    • Databricks SQL now supports specifying default values for columns of Delta Lake tables, either at table creation time or afterward. Subsequent INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and MERGE commands can refer to any column’s default value using the explicit DEFAULT keyword. In addition, if any INSERT assignment has an explicit list of fewer columns than the target table, corresponding column default values are substituted for the remaining columns (or NULL if no default is specified).

      For example:

      CREATE TABLE t (first INT, second DATE DEFAULT CURRENT_DATE()) USING delta;
INSERT INTO t VALUES (0, DEFAULT);
INSERT INTO t VALUES (1, DEFAULT);
SELECT first, second FROM t;
\> 0, 2023-03-28
1, 2023-03-28z

    • Auto Loader now initiates at least one synchronous RocksDB log cleanup for Trigger.AvailableNow streams to check that the checkpoint can get regularly cleaned up for fast-running Auto Loader streams.

    • Parquet scans are now robust against OOMs when scanning exceptionally structured files by dynamically adjusting batch size. File metadata is analyzed to preemptively lower batch size and is lowered again on task retries as a final safety net.

      • If an Avro file was read with just the failOnUnknownFields\ option or with Auto Loader in the failOnNewColumns\ schema evolution mode, columns that have different data types would be read as null\ instead of throwing an error stating that the file cannot be read. These reads now fail and recommend users to use the rescuedDataColumn\ option.

    • Auto Loader now does the following.

      • Correctly reads and no longer rescues Integer, Short, Byte types if one of these data types are provided, but the Avro file suggests one of the other two types.

    • The SYNC command now supports legacy data source formats.

    • Fixed a bug where using the Python formatter before running any other commands in a Python notebook could cause the notebook path to be missing from sys.path.

    • Databricks now supports specifying default values for columns of Delta tables. INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and MERGE commands can refer to a column’s default value using the explicit DEFAULT keyword. For INSERT commands with an explicit list of fewer columns than the target table, corresponding column default values are substituted for the remaining columns (or NULL if no default is specified).

  • Fixes a bug where the web terminal could not be used to access files in /Workspace for some users.

    • If a Parquet file was read with just the failOnUnknownFields option or with Auto Loader in the failOnNewColumns schema evolution mode, columns that had different data types would be read as null instead of throwing an error stating that the file cannot be read. These reads now fail and recommend users to use the rescuedDataColumn option.

    • Auto Loader now correctly reads and no longer rescues Integer, Short, Byte types if one of these data types are provided. The Parquet file suggests one of the other two types. When the rescued data column was previously enabled, the data type mismatch would cause columns to be rescued even though they were readable.

    • Fixed a bug where Auto Loader schema evolution can go into an infinite fail loop, when a new column is detected in the schema of a nested JSON object.

    • If a Parquet file was read with just the failOnUnknownFields option or with Auto Loader in the failOnNewColumns schema evolution mode, columns that had different data types would be read as null instead of throwing an error stating that the file cannot be read. These reads now fail and recommend users to use the rescuedDataColumn option.

    • Auto Loader now correctly reads and no longer rescues Integer, Short, Byte types if one of these data types are provided. The Parquet file suggests one of the other two types. When the rescued data column was previously enabled, the data type mismatch would cause columns to be rescued even though they were readable.

    • [SPARK-40646] JSON parsing for structs, maps, and arrays has been fixed so when a part of a record does not match the schema, the rest of record can still be parsed correctly instead of returning nulls.To opt-in for the improved behavior, set spark.sql.json.enablePartialResults to true. The flag is disabled by default to preserve the original behavior

    • Upgraded Apache commons-text to 1.10.0.

    • Fixed an issue where if a Delta table had a user-defined column named _change_type, but Change data feed was disabled on that table, data in that column would incorrectly fill with NULL values when running MERGE.

    • Fixed an issue where running MERGE and using exactly 99 columns from the source in the condition could result in java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.spark.sql.vectorized.ColumnarBatch cannot be cast to org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.InternalRow.

    • We have updated the permission model in Table Access Controls (Table ACLs) so that only MODIFY permissions are needed to change a table’s schema or table properties with ALTER TABLE. Previously, these operations required a user to own the table. Ownership is still required to grant permissions on a table, change its owner, change its location, or rename it. This change makes the permission model for Table ACLs more consistent with Unity Catalog.

    • For Delta tables with table access control, automatic schema evolution through DML statements such as INSERT and MERGE is now available for all users who have MODIFY permissions on such tables. Additionally, permissions required to perform schema evolution with COPY INTO are now lowered from OWNER to MODIFY for consistency with other commands. These changes make the table ACL security model more consistent with other operations such as replacing a table.

    • Users can configure leading and trailing whitespaces’ behavior when writing data using the Redshift connector. The following options have been added to control whitespace handling:

      • csvignoreleadingwhitespace, when set to true, removes leading whitespace from values during writes when tempformat is set to CSV or CSV GZIP. Whitespaces are retained when the config is set to false. By default, the value is true.

      • csvignoretrailingwhitespace, when set to true, removes trailing whitespace from values during writes when tempformat is set to CSV or CSV GZIP. Whitespaces are retained when the config is set to false. By default, the value is true.
