Release 403-e STS (23 Dec 2022)#

Starburst Enterprise platform (SEP) 403-e is the follow up release to the 402-e version. It includes all improvements from the Trino 403 project release.

This release is a short term support (STS) release.

Breaking changes#

SEP configuration validation now checks for catalog security misconfigurations that may cause security issues. If built-in access control is in use but a catalog is configured with the hive.security or delta.security configuration properties set to a value other than starburst, the cluster fails to start. The same failure occurs if the iceberg.security catalog configuration property is set to a value other than system. It is strongly recommended to fix this misconfiguration by setting all hive.security and delta.security properties to starburst and iceberg.security properties to system, but you may also disable configuration validation by setting starburst.config-validation.enabled=false in your config.properties file.
Built-in access control audit log now uses an improved backend schema for log storage. Existing log entries stored in the old schema are not automatically migrated to the new storage, so those older entries do not appear in the audit logs upon upgrading to this version of SEP.
