Announcing the release of Spice v1.11.3! 🛠️
Spice v1.11.3 is a patch release fixing schema consistency issues in the S3 and FlightSQL data connectors, improving CDC cache invalidation, and enhancing the HTTP data connector's error handling and response metadata.
Fixed an issue where queries using metadata columns (location, last_modified, size) on S3 (opens in a new tab) datasets produced Input field name does not match with the projection expression errors (#9647 (opens in a new tab)). This occurred when projecting metadata columns with filters or scalar functions (e.g., SELECT lower(location) FROM table WHERE location = '...'), and when projection returned no matching files.
Fixed an issue where the Flight SQL JDBC driver returned Unsupported ArrowType Utf8View errors when performing ::TEXT type casts (#9253 (opens in a new tab)). The FlightSQL (opens in a new tab) endpoint now maps view types (e.g., Utf8View, BinaryView) to their non-view equivalents, ensuring compatibility with JDBC and ODBC clients.
Fixed an issue where the SQL results cache was invalidated on every change stream poll, even when zero records were returned (#9472 (opens in a new tab)). This caused near-total cache miss rates for datasets using refresh_mode: changes (e.g., DynamoDB Streams), effectively rendering the cache useless. Cache invalidation now only occurs when a change batch contains actual data changes.
response_headers column (Map type) to HTTP responses, providing access to response header metadata in query results.No breaking changes.
No new cookbook recipes.
