Highlighted features in TimescaleDB v2.20.0

• The columnstore now leverages bloom filters to deliver up to 6x faster point queries on columns with high cardinality values, such as UUIDs.
• Major improvements to the columnstores' backfill process enable UPSERTS with strict constraints to execute up to 10x faster.
• SkipScan is now supported in the columnstore, including for DISTINCT queries. This enhancement leads to dramatic query performance improvements of 2000x to 2500x, especially for selective queries.
• SIMD vectorization for the bool data type is now enabled by default. This change results in a 30–45% increase in performance for analytical queries with bool clauses on the columnstore.
• Continuous aggregates now include experimental support for window functions and non-immutable functions, extending the analytics use cases they can solve.
• Several quality-of-life improvements have been introduced: job names for continuous aggregates are now more descriptive, you can assign custom names to them, and it is now possible to add unique constraints along with ADD COLUMN operations in the columnstore.
• Improved management and optimization of chunks with the ability to split large uncompressed chunks at a specified point in time using the split_chunk function. This new function complements the existing merge_chunk function that can be used to merge two small chunks into one larger chunk.
• Enhancements to the default behavior of the columnstore now provide better automatic assessments of segment by and order by columns, reducing the need for manual configuration and simplifying initial setup.

PostgreSQL 14 support removal announcement

Following the deprecation announcement for PostgreSQL 14 in TimescaleDB v2.19.0, PostgreSQL 14 is no longer supported in TimescaleDB v2.20.0. The currently supported PostgreSQL major versions are 15, 16, and 17.

Features

• #​7638 Bloom filter sparse indexes for compressed columns. Can be disabled with the GUC timescaledb.enable_sparse_index_bloom
• #​7756 Add warning for poor compression ratio
• #​7762 Speed up the queries that use minmax sparse indexes on compressed tables by changing the index TOAST storage type to MAIN. This applies to newly compressed chunks
• #​7785 Do DELETE instead of TRUNCATE when locks aren't acquired
• #​7852 Allow creating foreign key constraints on compressed tables
• #​7854 Remove support for PG14
• #​7864 Allow adding CHECK constraints to compressed chunks
• #​7868 Allow adding columns with CHECK constraints to compressed chunks
• #​7874 Support for SkipScan for distinct aggregates over the same column
• #​7877 Remove blocker for unique constraints with ADD COLUMN
• #​7878 Don't block non-immutable functions in continuous aggregates
• #​7880 Add experimental support for window functions in continuous aggregates
• #​7899 Vectorized decompression and filtering for boolean columns
• #​7915 New option refresh_newest_first to continuous aggregate refresh policy API
• #​7917 Remove _timescaledb_functions.create_chunk_table function
• #​7929 Add CREATE TABLE ... WITH API for creating hypertables
• #​7946 Add support for splitting a chunk
• #​7958 Allow custom names for jobs
• #​7972 Add vectorized filtering for constraint checking while backfilling into compressed chunks
• #​7976 Include continuous aggregate name in jobs informational view
• #​7977 Replace references to compression with columnstore
• #​7981 Add columnstore as alias for enable_columnstore in ALTER TABLE
• #​7983 Support for SkipScan over compressed data
• #​7991 Improves default segmentby options
• #​7992 Add API into hypertable invalidation log
• #​8000 Add primary dimension info to information schema
• #​8005 Support ALTER TABLE SET (timescaledb.chunk_time_interval='1 day')
• #​8012 Add event triggers support on chunk creation
• #​8014 Enable bool compression by default by setting timescaledb.enable_bool_compression=true. Note: for downgrading to 2.18 or earlier version, use this downgrade script
• #​8018 Add spin-lock during recompression on unique constraints
• #​8026 Allow WHERE conditions that use nonvolatile functions to be pushed down to the compressed scan level. For example, conditions like time > now(), where time is a columnstore orderby column, will evaluate now() and use the sparse index on time to filter out the entire compressed batches that cannot contain matching rows.
• #​8027 Add materialization invalidations API
• #​8047 Support SkipScan for SELECT DISTINCT with multiple distincts when all but one distinct is pinned
• #​8115 Add batch size limiting during compression
