Release Note for the Indexima version 1.7.9

In Details

Core

  • INDXMA-4771: Warehouse loading has been speeding up to reduce the duration of cluster unavailability during an upgrade or a restart
  • INDXMA-4766 (ZenD #604): Add support for field and expression in GROUP BY even if they are not in the SELECT clause.
  • INDXMA-4649: The SQL Dev Console UI has been reworked to be more user-friendly.
  • INDXMA-4608: Table creation now allows you to specify the timestamp.precision, instead of being global.

External tables

  • INDXMA-4821: Oracle Database is now supported as an external table.
  • INDXMA-4783: Queries support on Snowflake, Google BigQuery, and Apache Impala has been improved.
  • INDXMA-4839: File supported_dbs.json now allows you to add default JDBC parameters. This way, they will always be available when you create an external table from the wizard.

Governance

  • INDXMA-4832: Reinit operation can be launched without reloading tables, leading to instant cluster availability.
