Release 468-e STS (14 February 2025)#

Starburst Enterprise platform (SEP) 468-e is the follow up SEP release to 467-e. It includes all improvements from the Trino 468 release.

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

Breaking changes#

  • The delta.metadata.cache-size Delta Lake catalog configuration property has been replaced by delta.metadata.cache-max-retained-size. delta.metadata.cache-ttl now defaults to 30m.

  • The partitions column on the $manifests metadata table of Iceberg catalogs has been renamed to partition_summaries.

  • Built-in access control is required to use schema discovery. Schema discovery is enabled by default when BIAC is enabled. However, if starburst.schema-discovery.enabled is set to true, you must set starburst.access-control.enabled to true to use schema discovery or the cluster fails to start.

General#

  • Refreshed the Starburst Enterprise web UI with a new look and feel.

  • Added support for dynamic catalog management as a public preview.

  • Added support for SHOW CREATE CATALOG to view statements used to create catalogs with CREATE CATALOG.

  • Added support for ALTER CATALOG.

  • Added an option to override the default storage schema for materialized view datasets in data products.

  • Schema discovery no longer requires the user to have the sysadmin role.

  • SQL routines have been renamed to User-defined functions in Trino. Note that the feature is still a public preview in SEP.

  • Fixed a bug that prevented access to the Azure Storage file system when both the fs.native-azure.enabled and azure.use-oauth-passthrough-token catalog configuration properties were enabled.
