🌸 QuestDB 7.4 Release Notes

Ahh, Spring! Sunshine, flowers, all that nice stuff.

As the wheels of the seasons turn, so to the wheels of the applications we're all busy building.

Hopefully good things bloom for us all.

QuestDB is pleased to release version 7.4!

As you've come to expect, this release further improves core database performance. Also as per usual, several bugs and rough edges have been addressed. In important addition, there are note-able breaking changes that will provide a smoother overall experience and set us up well for future changes. Please address them prior to upgrade, and reach out to us if you run into any issues.

⚠️ New Features with breaking changes

• SAMPLE BY queries now use ALIGN TO CALENDAR by default. As such, if you're using SAMPLE BY and expecting ALIGN TO FIRST OBSERVATION, you'll need to update your queries to specify that syntax.

• Java client: The ILP Sender used in our first-party Java client now requires an explicit selection of Transport, (HTTP or TCP) for enhanced reliability and clarity in data ingestion workflows. You will need to pass this value forward. See the PR for more information. If you do not use the Java client, but use another language client, see your respective language client repository and update if needed.

• CREATE TABLE AS and INSERT INTO SELECT statements now operate non-atomically and are batched by default. If you require an atomic table, you can now use the very powerful sounding: CREATE ATOMIC TABLE. For more information, checkout the docs.

🚀 Performance Improvements

This release improves parallel GROUP BY query performance and also makes SAMPLE BY queries more efficient. In addition, we've reduced thread-local allocator overhead in single-threaded GROUP BY & SAMPLE BY queries. The first/last aggregate functions for string columns have also been optimized.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Resolved issues leading to segmentation faults and incorrect results in certain SQL queries involving GROUP BY and SAMPLE BY clauses.
• Addressed a bug that could cause a table to be omitted from snapshots after significant DDL changes.
• Fixed HTTP request handling to prevent rejections when content-length is set to 0.
• Solved potential TLS handshake stalls on MacOS.
• Corrected the behavior of altering tables to add indexes that could inadvertently remove deduplication keys.
• Eliminated a crash during ingestion and various other stability issues.
