Announcing the release of Spice v1.11.1! 🛠️

v1.11.1 is a patch release improving Spice Cayenne (opens in a new tab) accelerator reliability and performance, enhancing DynamoDB Streams and HTTP data connectors, and fixing issues in Federated Task History and FlightSQL.

What's New in v1.11.1

Spice Cayenne Accelerator Improvements

This release includes stability and performance fixes for the Spice Cayenne (opens in a new tab) accelerator:

• Row-based Deletion Logic: Refactored row-based delete operations to use per-file deletion vectors with RoaringBitmap. Deletion scans now use Vortex-native streaming with filter pushdown and project only row indices, achieving zero data I/O for delete operations.
• Constraints & On Conflict: constraints and on_conflict configurations are now automatically inferred from federated table metadata, enabling datasets like DynamoDB (opens in a new tab) to work without explicitly defining primary_key in the Spicepod.
• Partitioned Table Deletion: Fixed an issue where DELETE operations on partitioned Cayenne tables failed.
• Data Integrity: Fixed two issues with acceleration snapshot handling: protected snapshots are now included in conflict detection keyset scans (preventing duplicate key creation during append refresh), and snapshot cleanup no longer deletes protected snapshots.

Data Connector Improvements

• DynamoDB Streams: Added automatic re-bootstrapping when the stream lag exceeds DynamoDB shard retention (24h). Configurable via the new lag_exceeds_shard_retention_behavior parameter with values error (default), ready_before_load, or ready_after_load.
• HTTP Connector: HTTP responses now include a response_status column (UInt16). 4xx responses (e.g., 404 Not Found) are treated as valid queryable data and cached normally. 5xx responses are retried with backoff, returned to the user, but excluded from the cache to prevent transient server errors from polluting cached results.

Other Improvements

• Reliability: Added retries for SnapshotManager operations and general snapshot reliability improvements.
• Reliability: Fixed handling of timestamp precision mismatches in query result caching (opens in a new tab).
• Reliability: Fixed a double projection issue in federated task history queries that caused Schema error: project index out of bounds errors in cluster mode.
• Developer Experience: Added cookie middleware support to the FlightSQL (opens in a new tab) data connector.
