DX-55385
  • In some deployments, using a large number of REST API-based queries that return large result sets can create memory issues and lead to cluster instability.
DX-55218

  • Following the upgrade to Dremio 22, some queries to Hive 2 metastore external tables with data in S3 were running considerably slower than before.

  • In some scenarios, invalid metadata about partition statistics was leading to inaccurate rowcount estimates for tables. The result was slower than expected query execution or out of memory issues. For each table included in a query where this behavior appears, perform an ALTER TABLE <table-name> FORGET METADATA, then re-promote the resulting file or folder to a new table. This will ensure that the table is created with the correct partition statistics.

    DX-53734

  • After changing the engine configuration, some queries were failing with an IndexOutOfBoundsException error.

    DX-53358

DX-53211

DX-48273

  • If issues were encountered when running queries against a view, Dremio was returning an error that was unhelpful. The error returned now includes the root cause and identifies the specific view requiring attention.

  • When using the Catalog API to create a folder in a space, if the folder already existed in the space, the API was returning the HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error instead of HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict.

    DX-47372

DX-46632

  • Row count estimates for some Delta Lake tables were changing extensively, leading to single-threaded execution plans.

  • When a Hive source was added or modified, shared library files created in a new directory under /tmp were not being cleaned up and leading to disk space issues.

    DX-44588

Breaking Changes​

DX-43049

  • Dremio 23.0.0+ supports only MapR 6.2.0. If you are running MapR 5.2.x or 6.1.x, you must upgrade to MapR 6.2.0 before upgrading to Dremio 23. Dremio releases up to and including 22.x do not support MapR 6.2.0, only MapR 5.2.x and 6.1.x are supported in releases prior to Dremio 23.

    NOTE: MapR 6.2.0 supports only JDK 11. JDK8 is not supported.

  • Dremio can now read MAP data from Parquet files. You must run ALTER TABLE <table_name> FORGET METADATA on tables containing MAP data that you have previously queried. This feature is enabled by default. If you prefer the previous behavior of representing MAP data as STRUCT, set dremio.data_types.map.enabled to OFF under Settings > Support > Support Keys.

  • A preview job is no longer automatically triggered when you click on a dataset. If you have permissions to edit the dataset, you will see the original SQL in the SQL Editor. If you do not have permissions to edit the dataset, you will continue to see a SELECT * statement pre-populated in the SQL Editor.

    DX-47450

  • In previous releases, Dremio supported a maximum of 800 leaf columns in a table, though that value was configurable with the support key store.plugin.max_metadata_leaf_columns. If you used this support key and have upgraded to v23.0, reset the key so that you can use the maximum of 6,400 that is enabled with wide table support. See Creating and Querying Wide Tables for more information and limitations.

Known Issues​

  • In this release, Dremio does not support Iceberg tables written with equality deletes.

    DX-52677

  • DML operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE) are not supported on tables with MAP columns. CTAS is supported on tables with MAP columns.

    DX-57005

  • If a user was actively logged in to Dremio during the upgrade to version 23.0.0, pages under Settings will throw an Unexpected Error until the user logs out and logs back in.
