Altinity Stable Release™ Update 20.3.19.4

ClickHouse Altinity Stable Release

We are delighted to announce that Altinity Stable Release™ is updated to 20.3.19.4. The release includes several dozen bug fixes not present in the previous 20.3.12.112, the most important ones are:

  • Fixed a bug that prevented attaching Materialized Views to system tables
  • Fixed incorrect behavior of if function with NULLs
  • Fixed segfaults in rare cases
  • Fixed a bug that prevented predicate pushdown for queries using WITH clause
  • Fixed SIGSEGV in Kafka engine when broker is unavailable
  • Fixed a bug leading to ‘block structure mismatch’ error for queries with UNION and JOIN
  • Fixed TTL processing logic to process all partitions in one run
  • Fixed a bug of parsing of row policies from configuration files that could result in missing policies sometimes
  • Fixed a bug with ALTER TABLE UPDATE could produce incorrect results when updating Nullable columns
  • Fixed a bug with codecs not working properly for MergeTree compact parts

There were few performance improvements as well:

  • Server startup time has been reduced by parsing metadata in parallel
  • Improved performance of primary key analysis for LowCardinality columns. That was a performance regression introduced in 20.3
  • Improved performance of queries with large tuples and tuples used in primary key

The development team continues to improve the quality of newer releases as well. 20.6 is a new stable release candidate, we plan to certify it in the next few weeks. We are using it extensively in our benchmarks and internal R&D projects already. 20.8 looks promising as well if you are looking for the latest features.
