# 2022 Changelog
### <a id="2212"></a> ClickHouse release 22.12, 2022-12-15
#### Backward Incompatible Change
* Add `GROUP BY ALL` syntax: [#37631](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37631). [#42265](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42265) ([刘陶峰](https://github.com/taofengliu)). If you have a column or an alias named `all` and doing `GROUP BY all` without the intention to group by all the columns, the query will have a different semantic. To keep the old semantic, put `all` into backticks or double quotes `"all"` to make it an identifier instead of a keyword.
#### Upgrade Notes
* Fixed backward incompatibility in (de)serialization of states of `min`, `max`, `any*`, `argMin`, `argMax` aggregate functions with `String` argument. The incompatibility affects 22.9, 22.10 and 22.11 branches (fixed since 22.9.6, 22.10.4 and 22.11.2 correspondingly). Some minor releases of 22.3, 22.7 and 22.8 branches are also affected: 22.3.13...22.3.14 (fixed since 22.3.15), 22.8.6...22.8.9 (fixed since 22.8.10), 22.7.6 and newer (will not be fixed in 22.7, we recommend upgrading from 22.7.* to 22.8.10 or newer). This release note does not concern users that have never used affected versions. Incompatible versions append an extra `'\0'` to strings when reading states of the aggregate functions mentioned above. For example, if an older version saved state of `anyState('foobar')` to `state_column` then the incompatible version will print `'foobar\0'` on `anyMerge(state_column)`. Also incompatible versions write states of the aggregate functions without trailing `'\0'`. Newer versions (that have the fix) can correctly read data written by all versions including incompatible versions, except one corner case. If an incompatible version saved a state with a string that actually ends with null character, then newer version will trim trailing `'\0'` when reading state of affected aggregate function. For example, if an incompatible version saved state of `anyState('abrac\0dabra\0')` to `state_column` then newer versions will print `'abrac\0dabra'` on `anyMerge(state_column)`. The issue also affects distributed queries when an incompatible version works in a cluster together with older or newer versions. [#43038](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43038) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix), [Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)). Note: all the official ClickHouse builds already include the patches. This is not necessarily true for unofficial third-party builds that should be avoided.
#### New Feature
* Add `BSONEachRow` input/output format. In this format, ClickHouse formats/parses each row as a separate BSON document and each column is formatted/parsed as a single BSON field with the column name as the key. [#42033](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42033) ([mark-polokhov](https://github.com/mark-polokhov)).
* Add `grace_hash` JOIN algorithm, it can be enabled with `SET join_algorithm = 'grace_hash'`. [#38191](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38191) ([BigRedEye](https://github.com/BigRedEye), [Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Allow configuring password complexity rules and checks for creating and changing users. [#43719](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43719) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Mask sensitive information in logs; mask secret parts in the output of queries `SHOW CREATE TABLE` and `SELECT FROM system.tables`. Also resolves [#41418](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41418). [#43227](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43227) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Add `GROUP BY ALL` syntax: [#37631](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37631). [#42265](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42265) ([刘陶峰](https://github.com/taofengliu)).
* Add `FROM table SELECT column` syntax. [#41095](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41095) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Added function `concatWithSeparator` and `concat_ws` as an alias for Spark SQL compatibility. A function `concatWithSeparatorAssumeInjective` added as a variant to enable GROUP BY optimization, similarly to `concatAssumeInjective`. [#43749](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43749) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Added `multiplyDecimal` and `divideDecimal` functions for decimal operations with fixed precision. [#42438](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42438) ([Andrey Zvonov](https://github.com/zvonand)).
* Added `system.moves` table with list of currently moving parts. [#42660](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42660) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)).
* Add support for embedded Prometheus endpoint for ClickHouse Keeper. [#43087](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43087) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Support numeric literals with `_` as the separator, for example, `1_000_000`. [#43925](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43925) ([jh0x](https://github.com/jh0x)).
* Added possibility to use an array as a second parameter for `cutURLParameter` function. It will cut multiple parameters. Close [#6827](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/6827). [#43788](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43788) ([Roman Vasin](https://github.com/rvasin)).
* Add a column with the expression of the index in the `system.data_skipping_indices` table. [#43308](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43308) ([Guillaume Tassery](https://github.com/YiuRULE)).
* Add column `engine_full` to system table `databases` so that users can access the entire engine definition of a database via system tables. [#43468](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43468) ([凌涛](https://github.com/lingtaolf)).
* New hash function [xxh3](https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash) added. Also, the performance of `xxHash32` and `xxHash64` are improved on ARM thanks to a library update. [#43411](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43411) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Added support to define constraints for merge tree settings. For example you can forbid overriding the `storage_policy` by users. [#43903](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43903) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)).
* Add a new setting `input_format_json_read_objects_as_strings` that allows the parsing of nested JSON objects into Strings in all JSON input formats. This setting is disabled by default. [#44052](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44052) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
#### Experimental Feature
* Support deduplication for asynchronous inserts. Before this change, async inserts did not support deduplication, because multiple small inserts coexisted in one inserted batch. Closes [#38075](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/38075). [#43304](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43304) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).
* Add support for cosine distance for the experimental Annoy (vector similarity search) index. [#42778](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42778) ([Filatenkov Artur](https://github.com/FArthur-cmd)).
* Add `CREATE / ALTER / DROP NAMED COLLECTION` queries. [#43252](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43252) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)). This feature is under development and the queries are not effective as of version 22.12. This changelog entry is added only to avoid confusion. Restrict default access to named collections to the user defined in config. This requires that `show_named_collections = 1` is set to be able to see them. [#43325](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43325) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)). The `system.named_collections` table is introduced [#43147](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43147) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
#### Performance Improvement
* Add settings `max_streams_for_merge_tree_reading` and `allow_asynchronous_read_from_io_pool_for_merge_tree`. Setting `max_streams_for_merge_tree_reading` limits the number of reading streams for MergeTree tables. Setting `allow_asynchronous_read_from_io_pool_for_merge_tree` enables a background I/O pool to read from `MergeTree` tables. This may increase performance for I/O bound queries if used together with `max_streams_to_max_threads_ratio` or `max_streams_for_merge_tree_reading`. [#43260](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43260) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)). This improves performance up to 100 times in case of high latency storage, low number of CPU and high number of data parts.
* Settings `merge_tree_min_rows_for_concurrent_read_for_remote_filesystem/merge_tree_min_bytes_for_concurrent_read_for_remote_filesystem` did not respect adaptive granularity. Fat rows did not decrease the number of read rows (as it was done for `merge_tree_min_rows_for_concurrent_read/merge_tree_min_bytes_for_concurrent_read`, which could lead to high memory usage when using remote filesystems. [#43965](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43965) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Optimized the number of list requests to ZooKeeper or ClickHouse Keeper when selecting a part to merge. Previously it could produce thousands of requests in some cases. Fixes [#43647](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43647). [#43675](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43675) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Optimization is getting skipped now if `max_size_to_preallocate_for_aggregation` has too small a value. The default value of this setting increased to `10^8`. [#43945](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43945) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Speed-up server shutdown by avoiding cleaning up of old data parts. Because it is unnecessary after https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41145. [#43760](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43760) ([Sema Checherinda](https://github.com/CheSema)).
* Merging on initiator now uses the same memory bound approach as merging of local aggregation results if `enable_memory_bound_merging_of_aggregation_results` is set. [#40879](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40879) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Keeper improvement: try syncing logs to disk in parallel with replication. [#43450](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43450) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Keeper improvement: requests are batched more often. The batching can be controlled with the new setting `max_requests_quick_batch_size`. [#43686](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43686) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
#### Improvement
* Implement referential dependencies and use them to create tables in the correct order while restoring from a backup. [#43834](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43834) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Substitute UDFs in `CREATE` query to avoid failures during loading at startup. Additionally, UDFs can now be used as `DEFAULT` expressions for columns. [#43539](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43539) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Change how the following queries delete parts: TRUNCATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE DROP PART, ALTER TABLE DROP PARTITION. Now, these queries make empty parts which cover the old parts. This makes the TRUNCATE query work without a followedexclusive lock which means concurrent reads aren't locked. Also achieved durability in all those queries. If the request succeeds, then no resurrected parts appear later. Note that atomicity is achieved only with transaction scope. [#41145](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41145) ([Sema Checherinda](https://github.com/CheSema)).
* `SET param_x` query no longer requires manual string serialization for the value of the parameter. For example, query `SET param_a = '[\'a\', \'b\']'` can now be written like `SET param_a = ['a', 'b']`. [#41874](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41874) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Show read rows in the progress indication while reading from STDIN from client. Closes [#43423](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43423). [#43442](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43442) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Show progress bar while reading from s3 table function / engine. [#43454](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43454) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* `filesystemAvailable` and related functions support one optional argument with disk name, and change `filesystemFree` to `filesystemUnreserved`. Closes [#35076](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/35076). [#42064](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42064) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Integration with LDAP: increased the default value of search_limit to 256, and added LDAP server config option to change that to an arbitrary value. Closes: [#42276](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42276). [#42461](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42461) ([Vasily Nemkov](https://github.com/Enmk)).
* Allow the removal of sensitive information (see the `query_masking_rules` in the configuration file) from the exception messages as well. Resolves [#41418](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41418). [#42940](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42940) ([filimonov](https://github.com/filimonov)).
* Support queries like `SHOW FULL TABLES ...` for MySQL compatibility. [#43910](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43910) ([Filatenkov Artur](https://github.com/FArthur-cmd)).
* Keeper improvement: Add 4lw command `rqld` which can manually assign a node as leader. [#43026](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43026) ([JackyWoo](https://github.com/JackyWoo)).
* Apply connection timeout settings for Distributed async INSERT from the query. [#43156](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43156) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* The `unhex` function now supports `FixedString` arguments. [issue42369](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42369). [#43207](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43207) ([DR](https://github.com/freedomDR)).
* Priority is given to deleting completely expired parts according to the TTL rules, see [#42869](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42869). [#43222](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43222) ([zhongyuankai](https://github.com/zhongyuankai)).
* More precise and reactive CPU load indication in clickhouse-client. [#43307](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43307) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)).
* Support reading of subcolumns of nested types from storage `S3` and table function `s3` with formats `Parquet`, `Arrow` and `ORC`. [#43329](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43329) ([chen](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).
* Add `table_uuid` column to the `system.parts` table. [#43404](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43404) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Added client option to display the number of locally processed rows in non-interactive mode (`--print-num-processed-rows`). [#43407](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43407) ([jh0x](https://github.com/jh0x)).
* Implement `aggregation-in-order` optimization on top of a query plan. It is enabled by default (but works only together with `optimize_aggregation_in_order`, which is disabled by default). Set `query_plan_aggregation_in_order = 0` to use the previous AST-based version. [#43592](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43592) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Allow to collect profile events with `trace_type = 'ProfileEvent'` to `system.trace_log` on each increment with current stack, profile event name and value of the increment. It can be enabled by the setting `trace_profile_events` and used to investigate performance of queries. [#43639](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43639) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Add a new setting `input_format_max_binary_string_size` to limit string size in RowBinary format. [#43842](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43842) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* When ClickHouse requests a remote HTTP server, and it returns an error, the numeric HTTP code was not displayed correctly in the exception message. Closes [#43919](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43919). [#43920](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43920) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Correctly report errors in queries even when multiple JOINs optimization is taking place. [#43583](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43583) ([Salvatore](https://github.com/tbsal)).
#### Build/Testing/Packaging Improvement
* Systemd integration now correctly notifies systemd that the service is really started and is ready to serve requests. [#43400](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43400) ([Коренберг Марк](https://github.com/socketpair)).
* Added the option to build ClickHouse with OpenSSL using the [OpenSSL FIPS Module](https://www.openssl.org/docs/man3.0/man7/fips_module.html). This build type has not been tested to validate security and is not supported. [#43991](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43991) ([Boris Kuschel](https://github.com/bkuschel)).
* Upgrade to the new `DeflateQpl` compression codec which has been implemented in a previous PR (details: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39494). This patch improves codec on below aspects: 1. QPL v0.2.0 to QPL v0.3.0 [Intel® Query Processing Library (QPL)](https://github.com/intel/qpl) 2. Improve CMake file for fixing QPL build issues for QPL v0.3.0. 3. Link the QPL library with libaccel-config at build time instead of runtime loading on QPL v0.2.0 (dlopen) 4. Fixed log print issue in CompressionCodecDeflateQpl.cpp. [#44024](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44024) ([jasperzhu](https://github.com/jinjunzh)).
#### Bug Fix (user-visible misbehavior in official stable or prestable release)
* Fixed bug which could lead to deadlock while using asynchronous inserts. [#43233](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43233) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).

* Fix a case when mutations are not making progress when checksums do not match between replicas (e.g. caused by a change in data format on an upgrade). [#36877](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36877) ([nvartolomei](https://github.com/nvartolomei)).
* Fix the `skip_unavailable_shards` optimization which did not work with the `hdfsCluster` table function. [#43236](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43236) ([chen](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).
* Fix `s3` support for the `?` wildcard. Closes [#42731](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42731). [#43253](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43253) ([chen](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).
* Fix functions `arrayFirstOrNull` and `arrayLastOrNull` or null when the array contains `Nullable` elements. [#43274](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43274) ([Duc Canh Le](https://github.com/canhld94)).
* Fix incorrect `UserTimeMicroseconds`/`SystemTimeMicroseconds` accounting related to Kafka tables. [#42791](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42791) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Do not suppress exceptions in `web` disks. Fix retries for the `web` disk. [#42800](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42800) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fixed (logical) race condition between inserts and dropping materialized views. A race condition happened when a Materialized View was dropped at the same time as an INSERT, where the MVs were present as a dependency of the insert at the begining of the execution, but the table has been dropped by the time the insert chain tries to access it, producing either an `UNKNOWN_TABLE` or `TABLE_IS_DROPPED` exception, and stopping the insertion. After this change, we avoid these exceptions and just continue with the insert if the dependency is gone. [#43161](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43161) ([AlfVII](https://github.com/AlfVII)).
* Fix undefined behavior in the `quantiles` function, which might lead to uninitialized memory. Found by fuzzer. This closes [#44066](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44066). [#44067](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44067) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Additional check on zero uncompressed size is added to `CompressionCodecDelta`. [#43255](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43255) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Flatten arrays from Parquet to avoid an issue with inconsistent data in arrays. These incorrect files can be generated by Apache Iceberg. [#43297](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43297) ([Arthur Passos](https://github.com/arthurpassos)).
* Fix bad cast from `LowCardinality` column when using short circuit function execution. [#43311](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43311) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Fixed queries with `SAMPLE BY` with prewhere optimization on tables using `Merge` engine. [#43315](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43315) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Check and compare the content of the `format_version` file in `MergeTreeData` so that tables can be loaded even if the storage policy was changed. [#43328](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43328) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Fix possible (very unlikely) "No column to rollback" logical error during INSERT into `Buffer` tables. [#43336](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43336) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fix a bug that allowed the parser to parse an unlimited amount of round brackets into one function if `allow_function_parameters` is set. [#43350](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43350) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* `MaterializeMySQL` (experimental feature) support DDL： `drop table t1, t2` and compatible with most of MySQL DROP DDL. [#43366](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43366) ([zzsmdfj](https://github.com/zzsmdfj)).
* `session_log` (experimental feature): Fixed the inability to log in (because of failure to create the session_log entry) in a very rare case of messed up setting profiles. [#42641](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42641) ([Vasily Nemkov](https://github.com/Enmk)).
* Fix possible `Cannot create non-empty column with type Nothing` in functions `if`/`multiIf`. Closes [#43356](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43356). [#43368](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43368) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Fix a bug when a row level filter uses the default value of a column. [#43387](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43387) ([Alexander Gololobov](https://github.com/davenger)).
* Query with `DISTINCT` + `LIMIT BY` + `LIMIT` can return fewer rows than expected. Fixes [#43377](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43377). [#43410](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43410) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
* Fix `sumMap` for `Nullable(Decimal(...))`. [#43414](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43414) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fix `date_diff` for hour/minute on macOS. Close [#42742](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42742). [#43466](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43466) ([zzsmdfj](https://github.com/zzsmdfj)).
* Fix incorrect memory accounting because of merges/mutations. [#43516](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43516) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fixed primary key analysis with conditions involving `toString(enum)`. [#43596](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43596) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)). This error has been found by @tisonkun.
* Ensure consistency when `clickhouse-copier` updates status and `attach_is_done` in Keeper after partition attach is done. [#43602](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43602) ([lzydmxy](https://github.com/lzydmxy)).
* During the recovery of a lost replica of a `Replicated` database (experimental feature), there could a situation where we need to atomically swap two table names (use EXCHANGE). Previously we tried to use two RENAME queries, which was obviously failing and moreover, failed the whole recovery process of the database replica. [#43628](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43628) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Fix the case when the `s3Cluster` function throws `NOT_FOUND_COLUMN_IN_BLOCK` error. Closes [#43534](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43534). [#43629](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43629) ([chen](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).
* Fix possible logical error `Array sizes mismatched` while parsing JSON object with arrays with same key names but with different nesting level. Closes [#43569](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43569). [#43693](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43693) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).

* Fix bug which can lead to broken projections if zero-copy replication (experimental feature) is enabled and used. [#43764](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43764) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)).
* Fix using multipart upload for very large S3 objects in AWS S3. [#43824](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43824) ([ianton-ru](https://github.com/ianton-ru)).
* Fixed `ALTER ... RESET SETTING` with `ON CLUSTER`. It could have been applied to one replica only. Fixes [#43843](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43843). [#43848](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43848) ([Elena Torró](https://github.com/elenatorro)).
* Fix a logical error in JOIN with `Join` table engine at right hand side, if `USING` is being used. [#43963](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43963) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)). Fix a bug with wrong order of keys in `Join` table engine. [#44012](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44012) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Keeper fix: throw if the interserver port for Raft is already in use. [#43984](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43984) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).

[#43987](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43987) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Fixed exception when a subquery contains HAVING but doesn't contain an actual aggregation. [#44051](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44051) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Fix race in s3 multipart upload. This race could cause the error `Part number must be an integer between 1 and 10000, inclusive. (S3_ERROR)` while restoring from a backup. [#44065](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44065) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
### <a id="2211"></a> ClickHouse release 22.11, 2022-11-17
#### Backward Incompatible Change
* `JSONExtract` family of functions will now attempt to coerce to the requested type. [#41502](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41502) ([Márcio Martins](https://github.com/marcioapm)).
#### New Feature
* Adds support for retries during INSERTs into ReplicatedMergeTree when a session with ClickHouse Keeper is lost. Apart from fault tolerance, it aims to provide better user experience, - avoid returning a user an error during insert if keeper is restarted (for example, due to upgrade). This is controlled by the `insert_keeper_max_retries` setting, which is disabled by default. [#42607](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42607) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
* Add `Hudi` and `DeltaLake` table engines, read-only, only for tables on S3. [#41054](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41054) ([Daniil Rubin](https://github.com/rubin-do), [Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Add table function `hudi` and `deltaLake`. [#43080](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43080) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Support for composite time intervals. 1. Add, subtract and negate operations are now available on Intervals. In the case where the types of Intervals are different, they will be transformed into the Tuple of those types. 2. A tuple of intervals can be added to or subtracted from a Date/DateTime field. 3. Added parsing of Intervals with different types, for example: `INTERVAL '1 HOUR 1 MINUTE 1 SECOND'`. [#42195](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42195) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Added `**` glob support for recursive directory traversal of the filesystem and S3. Resolves [#36316](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/36316). [#42376](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42376) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Introduce `s3_plain` disk type for write-once-read-many operations. Implement `ATTACH` of `MergeTree` table for `s3_plain` disk. [#42628](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42628) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Added applied row-level policies to `system.query_log`. [#39819](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39819) ([Vladimir Chebotaryov](https://github.com/quickhouse)).
* Add four-letter command `csnp` for manually creating snapshots in ClickHouse Keeper. Additionally, `lgif` was added to get Raft information for a specific node (e.g. index of last created snapshot, last committed log index). [#41766](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41766) ([JackyWoo](https://github.com/JackyWoo)).
* Add function `ascii` like in Apache Spark: https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/sql/#ascii. [#42670](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42670) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Add function `positive_modulo` (`pmod`) which returns non-negative result based on modulo. [#42755](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42755) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Add function `formatReadableDecimalSize`. [#42774](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42774) ([Alejandro](https://github.com/alexon1234)).
* Add function `randCanonical`, which is similar to the `rand` function in Apache Spark or Impala. The function generates pseudo random results with independent and identically distributed uniformly distributed values in [0, 1). [#43124](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43124) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Add function `displayName`, closes [#36770](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/36770). [#37681](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37681) ([hongbin](https://github.com/xlwh)).
* Add `min_age_to_force_merge_on_partition_only` setting to optimize old parts for the entire partition only. [#42659](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42659) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Add generic implementation for arbitrary structured named collections, access type and `system.named_collections`. [#43147](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43147) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
#### Performance Improvement
* Parallelized merging of `uniqExact` states for aggregation without key, i.e. queries like `SELECT uniqExact(number) FROM table`. The improvement becomes noticeable when the number of unique keys approaches 10^6. Also `uniq` performance is slightly optimized. [#43072](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43072) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* `match` function can use the index if it's a condition on string prefix. This closes [#37333](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37333). [#42458](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42458) ([clarkcaoliu](https://github.com/Clark0)).
* Speed up AND and OR operators when they are sequenced. [#42214](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42214) ([Zhiguo Zhou](https://github.com/ZhiguoZh)).

* ClickHouse Keeper performance improvement: improve commit performance for cases when many different nodes have uncommitted states. This should help with cases when a follower node can't sync fast enough. [#42926](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42926) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* A condition like `NOT LIKE 'prefix%'` can use the primary index. [#42209](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42209) ([Duc Canh Le](https://github.com/canhld94)).
#### Experimental Feature
* Support type `Object` inside other types, e.g. `Array(JSON)`. [#36969](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36969) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Ignore MySQL binlog SAVEPOINT event for MaterializedMySQL. [#42931](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42931) ([zzsmdfj](https://github.com/zzsmdfj)). Handle (ignore) SAVEPOINT queries in MaterializedMySQL. [#43086](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43086) ([Stig Bakken](https://github.com/stigsb)).
#### Improvement
* Trivial queries with small LIMIT will properly determine the number of estimated rows to read, so that the threshold will be checked properly. Closes [#7071](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/7071). [#42580](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42580) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).

Testing: * Added a test for filesystem tests/queries/0_stateless/02473_functions_in_readonly_mode.sh Documentation: * Updated the english documentation for Table Functions. [#42708](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42708) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* The `system.asynchronous_metrics` gets embedded documentation. This documentation is also exported to Prometheus. Fixed an error with the metrics about `cache` disks - they were calculated only for one arbitrary cache disk instead all of them. This closes [#7644](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/7644). [#43194](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43194) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Throttling algorithm changed to token bucket. [#42665](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42665) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)).
* Mask passwords and secret keys both in `system.query_log` and `/var/log/clickhouse-server/*.log` and also in error messages. [#42484](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42484) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Remove covered parts for fetched part (to avoid possible replication delay grows). [#39737](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39737) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* If `/dev/tty` is available, the progress in clickhouse-client and clickhouse-local will be rendered directly to the terminal, without writing to STDERR. It allows getting progress even if STDERR is redirected to a file, and the file will not be polluted by terminal escape sequences. The progress can be disabled by `--progress false`. This closes [#32238](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/32238). [#42003](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42003) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).

* Improve using structure from insertion table in table functions, now setting `use_structure_from_insertion_table_in_table_functions` has new possible value - `2` that means that ClickHouse will try to determine if we can use structure from insertion table or not automatically. Closes [#40028](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/40028). [#42320](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42320) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).

* Allow to use `Date32` arguments for `formatDateTime` and `FROM_UNIXTIME` functions. [#42737](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42737) ([Roman Vasin](https://github.com/rvasin)).
* Update tzdata to 2022f. Mexico will no longer observe DST except near the US border: https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/mexico-abolishes-dst-2022.html. Chihuahua moves to year-round UTC-6 on 2022-10-30. Fiji no longer observes DST. See https://github.com/google/cctz/pull/235 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/1995209.

* Increase the size of upload part exponentially for backup to S3 to avoid errors about max 10 000 parts limit of the multipart upload to s3. [#42833](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42833) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* When the merge task is continuously busy and the disk space is insufficient, the completely expired parts cannot be selected and dropped, resulting in insufficient disk space. My idea is that when the entire Part expires, there is no need for additional disk space to guarantee, ensure the normal execution of TTL. [#42869](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42869) ([zhongyuankai](https://github.com/zhongyuankai)).
* Add `oss` function and `OSS` table engine (this is convenient for users). oss is fully compatible with s3. [#43155](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43155) ([zzsmdfj](https://github.com/zzsmdfj)).
* Improve error reporting in the collection of OS-related info for the `system.asynchronous_metrics` table. [#43192](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43192) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Modify the `INFORMATION_SCHEMA` tables in a way so that ClickHouse can connect to itself using the MySQL compatibility protocol. Add columns instead of aliases (related to [#9769](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9769)). It will improve the compatibility with various MySQL clients. [#43198](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43198) ([Filatenkov Artur](https://github.com/FArthur-cmd)).
* Add some functions for compatibility with PowerBI, when it connects using MySQL protocol [#42612](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42612) ([Filatenkov Artur](https://github.com/FArthur-cmd)).
* Better usability for Dashboard on changes [#42872](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42872) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).

* Remove some libraries from Ubuntu Docker image. [#42622](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42622) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
#### Bug Fix (user-visible misbehavior in official stable or prestable release)
* Updated normaliser to clone the alias ast. Resolves [#42452](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42452) Implementation: * Updated QueryNormalizer to clone alias ast, when its replaced.

#### Performance Improvement
* Relax the "Too many parts" threshold. This closes [#6551](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/6551). Now ClickHouse will allow more parts in a partition if the average part size is large enough (at least 10 GiB). This allows to have up to petabytes of data in a single partition of a single table on a single server, which is possible using disk shelves or object storage. [#42002](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42002) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Implement operator precedence element parser to make the required stack size smaller. [#34892](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/34892) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* DISTINCT in order optimization leverage sorting properties of data streams. This improvement will enable reading in order for DISTINCT if applicable (before it was necessary to provide ORDER BY for columns in DISTINCT). [#41014](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41014) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
* ColumnVector: optimize UInt8 index with AVX512VBMI. [#41247](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41247) ([Guo Wangyang](https://github.com/guowangy)).
* Optimize the lock contentions for `ThreadGroupStatus::mutex`. The performance experiments of **SSB** (Star Schema Benchmark) on the ICX device (Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 CPU, 80 cores, 160 threads) shows that this change could bring a **2.95x** improvement of the geomean of all subcases' QPS. [#41675](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41675) ([Zhiguo Zhou](https://github.com/ZhiguoZh)).
* Add `ldapr` capabilities to AArch64 builds. This is supported from Graviton 2+, Azure and GCP instances. Only appeared in clang-15 [not so long ago](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/9609b5daffe9fd28d83d83da895abc5113f76c24). [#41778](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41778) ([Daniel Kutenin](https://github.com/danlark1)).
* Improve performance when comparing strings and one argument is an empty constant string. [#41870](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41870) ([Jiebin Sun](https://github.com/jiebinn)).
* Optimize `insertFrom` of ColumnAggregateFunction to share Aggregate State in some cases. [#41960](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41960) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Make writing to `azure_blob_storage` disks faster (respect `max_single_part_upload_size` instead of writing a block per each buffer size). Inefficiency mentioned in [#41754](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41754). [#42041](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42041) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Make thread ids in the process list and query_log unique to avoid waste. [#42180](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42180) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Support skipping cache completely (both download to cache and reading cached data) in case the requested read range exceeds the threshold defined by cache setting `bypass_cache_threashold`, requires to be enabled with `enable_bypass_cache_with_threshold`). [#42418](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42418) ([Han Shukai](https://github.com/KinderRiven)). This helps on slow local disks.
#### Improvement
* Add setting `allow_implicit_no_password`: in combination with `allow_no_password` it forbids creating a user with no password unless `IDENTIFIED WITH no_password` is explicitly specified. [#41341](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41341) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Embedded Keeper will always start in the background allowing ClickHouse to start without achieving quorum. [#40991](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40991) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Made reestablishing a new connection to ZooKeeper more reactive in case of expiration of the previous one. Previously there was a task which spawns every minute by default and thus a table could be in readonly state for about this time. [#41092](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41092) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Now projections can be used with zero copy replication (zero-copy replication is a non-production feature). [#41147](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41147) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)).
* Support expression `(EXPLAIN SELECT ...)` in a subquery. Queries like `SELECT * FROM (EXPLAIN PIPELINE SELECT col FROM TABLE ORDER BY col)` became valid. [#40630](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40630) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Allow changing `async_insert_max_data_size` or `async_insert_busy_timeout_ms` in scope of query. E.g. user wants to insert data rarely and she doesn't have access to the server config to tune default settings. [#40668](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40668) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Improvements for reading from remote filesystems, made threadpool size for reads/writes configurable. Closes [#41070](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41070). [#41011](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41011) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Support all combinators combination in WindowTransform/arratReduce*/initializeAggregation/aggregate functions versioning. Previously combinators like `ForEach/Resample/Map` didn't work in these places, using them led to exception like`State function ... inserts results into non-state column`. [#41107](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41107) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add function `tryDecrypt` that returns NULL when decrypt fails (e.g. decrypt with incorrect key) instead of throwing an exception. [#41206](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41206) ([Duc Canh Le](https://github.com/canhld94)).
* Add the `unreserved_space` column to the `system.disks` table to check how much space is not taken by reservations per disk. [#41254](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41254) ([filimonov](https://github.com/filimonov)).
* Support s3 authorization headers in table function arguments. [#41261](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41261) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Add support for MultiRead in Keeper and internal ZooKeeper client (this is an extension to ZooKeeper protocol, only available in ClickHouse Keeper). [#41410](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41410) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Add support for decimal type comparing with floating point literal in IN operator. [#41544](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41544) ([liang.huang](https://github.com/lhuang09287750)).
* Allow readable size values (like `1TB`) in cache config. [#41688](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41688) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* ClickHouse could cache stale DNS entries for some period of time (15 seconds by default) until the cache won't be updated asynchronously. During these periods ClickHouse can nevertheless try to establish a connection and produce errors. This behavior is fixed. [#41707](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41707) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Add interactive history search with fzf-like utility (fzf/sk) for `clickhouse-client`/`clickhouse-local` (note you can use `FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS`/`SKIM_DEFAULT_OPTIONS` to additionally configure the behavior). [#41730](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41730) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Only allow clients connecting to a secure server with an invalid certificate only to proceed with the '--accept-certificate' flag. [#41743](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41743) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).
* Add function `tryBase58Decode`, similar to the existing function `tryBase64Decode`. [#41824](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41824) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Improve feedback when replacing partition with different primary key. Fixes [#34798](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/34798). [#41838](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41838) ([Salvatore](https://github.com/tbsal)).
* Fix parallel parsing: segmentator now checks `max_block_size`. This fixed memory overallocation in case of parallel parsing and small LIMIT. [#41852](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41852) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Don't add "TABLE_IS_DROPPED" exception to `system.errors` if it's happened during SELECT from a system table and was ignored. [#41908](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41908) ([AlfVII](https://github.com/AlfVII)).
* Improve option `enable_extended_results_for_datetime_functions` to return results of type DateTime64 for functions `toStartOfDay`, `toStartOfHour`, `toStartOfFifteenMinutes`, `toStartOfTenMinutes`, `toStartOfFiveMinutes`, `toStartOfMinute` and `timeSlot`. [#41910](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41910) ([Roman Vasin](https://github.com/rvasin)).
* Improve `DateTime` type inference for text formats. Now it respects setting `date_time_input_format` and doesn't try to infer datetimes from numbers as timestamps. Closes [#41389](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41389) Closes [#42206](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42206). [#41912](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41912) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Remove confusing warning when inserting with `perform_ttl_move_on_insert` = false. [#41980](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41980) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Allow user to write `countState(*)` similar to `count(*)`. This closes [#9338](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9338). [#41983](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41983) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Fix `rankCorr` size overflow. [#42020](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42020) ([Duc Canh Le](https://github.com/canhld94)).
* Added an option to specify an arbitrary string as an environment name in the Sentry's config for more handy reports. [#42037](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42037) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Fix parsing out-of-range Date from CSV. [#42044](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42044) ([Andrey Zvonov](https://github.com/zvonand)).
* `parseDataTimeBestEffort` now supports comma between date and time. Closes [#42038](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42038). [#42049](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42049) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Improved stale replica recovery process for `ReplicatedMergeTree`. If a lost replica has some parts which are absent from a healthy replica, but these parts should appear in the future according to the replication queue of the healthy replica, then the lost replica will keep such parts instead of detaching them. [#42134](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42134) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Add a possibility to use `Date32` arguments for date_diff function. Fix issue in date_diff function when using DateTime64 arguments with a start date before Unix epoch and end date after Unix epoch. [#42308](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42308) ([Roman Vasin](https://github.com/rvasin)).
* When uploading big parts to Minio, 'Complete Multipart Upload' can take a long time. Minio sends heartbeats every 10 seconds (see https://github.com/minio/minio/pull/7198). But clickhouse times out earlier, because the default send/receive timeout is [set](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/blob/cc24fcd6d5dfb67f5f66f5483e986bd1010ad9cf/src/IO/S3/PocoHTTPClient.cpp#L123) to 5 seconds. [#42321](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42321) ([filimonov](https://github.com/filimonov)).
* Fix rarely invalid cast of aggregate state types with complex types such as Decimal. This fixes [#42408](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42408). [#42417](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42417) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Allow to use `Date32` arguments for `dateName` function. [#42554](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42554) ([Roman Vasin](https://github.com/rvasin)).
* Now filters with NULL literals will be used during index analysis. [#34063](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/34063). [#41842](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41842) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Merge parts if every part in the range is older than a certain threshold. The threshold can be set by using `min_age_to_force_merge_seconds`. This closes [#35836](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/35836). [#42423](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42423) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)). This is continuation of [#39550i](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39550) by [@fastio](https://github.com/fastio) who implemented most of the logic.
* Improve the time to recover lost keeper connections. [#42541](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42541) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
#### Build/Testing/Packaging Improvement
* Add fuzzer for table definitions [#40096](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40096) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)). This represents the biggest advancement for ClickHouse testing in this year so far.
* Beta version of the ClickHouse Cloud service is released: [https://clickhouse.cloud/](https://clickhouse.cloud/). It provides the easiest way to use ClickHouse (even slightly easier than the single-command installation).
* Added support of WHERE clause generation to AST Fuzzer and possibility to add or remove ORDER BY and WHERE clause. [#38519](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38519) ([Ilya Yatsishin](https://github.com/qoega)).
* Aarch64 binaries now require at least ARMv8.2, released in 2016. Most notably, this enables use of ARM LSE, i.e. native atomic operations. Also, CMake build option "NO_ARMV81_OR_HIGHER" has been added to allow compilation of binaries for older ARMv8.0 hardware, e.g. Raspberry Pi 4. [#41610](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41610) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Allow building ClickHouse with Musl (small changes after it was already supported but broken). [#41987](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41987) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add the `$CLICKHOUSE_CRONFILE` file checking to avoid running the `sed` command to get the file not found error on install. [#42081](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42081) ([Chun-Sheng, Li](https://github.com/peter279k)).
* Update cctz to `2022e` to support the new timezone changes. Palestine transitions are now Saturdays at 02:00. Simplify three Ukraine zones into one. Jordan and Syria switch from +02/+03 with DST to year-round +03. (https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tzdb/NEWS). This closes [#42252](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42252). [#42327](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42327) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)). [#42273](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42273) ([Dom Del Nano](https://github.com/ddelnano)).

* Fix possible crash in `SELECT` from `Merge` table with enabled `optimize_monotonous_functions_in_order_by` setting. Fixes [#41269](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41269). [#41740](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41740) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Fixed "Part ... intersects part ..." error that might happen in extremely rare cases if replica was restarted just after detaching some part as broken. [#41741](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41741) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Don't allow to create or alter merge tree tables with column name `_row_exists`, which is reserved for lightweight delete. Fixed [#41716](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41716). [#41763](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41763) ([Jianmei Zhang](https://github.com/zhangjmruc)).

Fixes [#41742](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41742). [#41796](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41796) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* When the batch sending fails for some reason, it cannot be automatically recovered, and if it is not processed in time, it will lead to accumulation, and the printed error message will become longer and longer, which will cause the http thread to block. [#41813](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41813) ([zhongyuankai](https://github.com/zhongyuankai)).
* Fix compact parts with compressed marks setting. Fixes [#41783](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41783) and [#41746](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41746). [#41823](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41823) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)).
* Old versions of Replicated database don't have a special marker in [Zoo]Keeper. We need to check only whether the node contains come obscure data instead of special mark. [#41875](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41875) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).

* `toDateTime64` now returns the same output with negative integer and float arguments. [#42025](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42025) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Fix write into `azure_blob_storage`. Partially closes [#41754](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41754). [#42034](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42034) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Fix the `bzip2` decoding issue for specific `bzip2` files. [#42046](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42046) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Fix SQL function `toLastDayOfMonth` with setting "enable_extended_results_for_datetime_functions = 1" at the beginning of the extended range (January 1900). - Fix SQL function "toRelativeWeekNum()" with setting "enable_extended_results_for_datetime_functions = 1" at the end of extended range (December 2299). - Improve the performance of for SQL functions "toISOYear()", "toFirstDayNumOfISOYearIndex()" and "toYearWeekOfNewyearMode()" by avoiding unnecessary index arithmetics. [#42084](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42084) ([Roman Vasin](https://github.com/rvasin)).
* The maximum size of fetches for each table accidentally was set to 8 while the pool size could be bigger. Now the maximum size of fetches for table is equal to the pool size. [#42090](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42090) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* A table might be shut down and a dictionary might be detached before checking if can be dropped without breaking dependencies between table, it's fixed. Fixes [#41982](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41982). [#42106](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42106) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Fix bad inefficiency of `remote_filesystem_read_method=read` with filesystem cache. Closes [#42125](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42125). [#42129](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42129) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Fix possible timeout exception for distributed queries with use_hedged_requests = 0. [#42130](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42130) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fixed a minor bug inside function `runningDifference` in case of using it with `Date32` type. Previously `Date` was used and it may cause some logical errors like `Bad cast from type DB::ColumnVector<int> to DB::ColumnVector<unsigned short>'`. [#42143](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42143) ([Alfred Xu](https://github.com/sperlingxx)).
* Fix reusing of files > 4GB from base backup. [#42146](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42146) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* DISTINCT in order fails with LOGICAL_ERROR if first column in sorting key contains function. [#42186](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42186) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
* Fix a bug with projections and the `aggregate_functions_null_for_empty` setting. This bug is very rare and appears only if you enable the `aggregate_functions_null_for_empty` setting in the server's config. This closes [#41647](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41647). [#42198](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42198) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).

* `ALTER UPDATE` of attached part (with columns different from table schema) could create an invalid `columns.txt` metadata on disk. Reading from such part could fail with errors or return invalid data. Fixes [#42161](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42161). [#42319](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42319) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Setting `additional_table_filters` were not applied to `Distributed` storage. Fixes [#41692](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41692). [#42322](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42322) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Fix a data race in query finish/cancel. This closes [#42346](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42346). [#42362](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42362) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* This reverts [#40217](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/40217) which introduced a regression in date/time functions. [#42367](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42367) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix assert cast in join on falsy condition, Close [#42380](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42380). [#42407](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42407) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Fix buffer overflow in the processing of Decimal data types. This closes [#42451](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42451). [#42465](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42465) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* `AggregateFunctionQuantile` now correctly works with UInt128 columns. Previously, the quantile state interpreted `UInt128` columns as `Int128` which could have led to incorrect results. [#42473](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42473) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Fix bad_cast assert during INSERT into `Annoy` indexes over non-Float32 columns. `Annoy` indices is an experimental feature. [#42485](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42485) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Arithmetic operator with Date or DateTime and 128 or 256-bit integer was referencing uninitialized memory. [#42453](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42453). [#42573](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42573) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix unexpected table loading error when partition key contains alias function names during server upgrade. [#36379](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36379) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
### <a id="229"></a> ClickHouse release 22.9, 2022-09-22
#### Backward Incompatible Change
* Upgrade from 20.3 and older to 22.9 and newer should be done through an intermediate version if there are any `ReplicatedMergeTree` tables, otherwise server with the new version will not start. [#40641](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40641) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Remove the functions `accurate_Cast` and `accurate_CastOrNull` (they are different to `accurateCast` and `accurateCastOrNull` by underscore in the name and they are not affected by the value of `cast_keep_nullable` setting). These functions were undocumented, untested, unused, and unneeded. They appeared to be alive due to code generalization. [#40682](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40682) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add a test to ensure that every new table function will be documented. See [#40649](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/40649). Rename table function `MeiliSearch` to `meilisearch`. [#40709](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40709) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add a test to ensure that every new function will be documented. See [#40649](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40649). The functions `lemmatize`, `synonyms`, `stem` were case-insensitive by mistake. Now they are case-sensitive. [#40711](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40711) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Make interpretation of YAML configs to be more conventional. [#41044](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41044) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
#### New Feature
* Support `insert_quorum = 'auto'` to use majority number. [#39970](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39970) ([Sachin](https://github.com/SachinSetiya)).
* Add embedded dashboards to ClickHouse server. This is a demo project about how to achieve 90% results with 1% effort using ClickHouse features. [#40461](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40461) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Added new settings constraint writability kind `changeable_in_readonly`. [#40631](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40631) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)).
* Add support for `INTERSECT DISTINCT` and `EXCEPT DISTINCT`. [#40792](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40792) ([Duc Canh Le](https://github.com/canhld94)).
* Add new input/output format `JSONObjectEachRow` - Support import for formats `JSON/JSONCompact/JSONColumnsWithMetadata`. Add new setting `input_format_json_validate_types_from_metadata` that controls whether we should check if data types from metadata match data types from the header. - Add new setting `input_format_json_validate_utf8`, when it's enabled, all `JSON` formats will validate UTF-8 sequences. It will be disabled by default. Note that this setting doesn't influence output formats `JSON/JSONCompact/JSONColumnsWithMetadata`, they always validate utf8 sequences (this exception was made because of compatibility reasons). - Add new setting `input_format_json_read_numbers_as_strings ` that allows to parse numbers in String column, the setting is disabled by default. - Add new setting `output_format_json_quote_decimals` that allows to output decimals in double quotes, disabled by default. - Allow to parse decimals in double quotes during data import. [#40910](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40910) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Query parameters supported in DESCRIBE TABLE query. [#40952](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40952) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Add support to Parquet Time32/64 by converting it into DateTime64. Parquet time32/64 represents time elapsed since midnight, while DateTime32/64 represents an actual unix timestamp. Conversion simply offsets from `0`. [#41333](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41333) ([Arthur Passos](https://github.com/arthurpassos)).
* Implement set operations on Apache Datasketches. [#39919](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39919) ([Fangyuan Deng](https://github.com/pzhdfy)). Note: there is no point of using Apache Datasketches, they are inferiour than ClickHouse and only make sense for integration with other systems.
* Allow recording errors to specified file while reading text formats (`CSV`, `TSV`). [#40516](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40516) ([zjial](https://github.com/zjial)).

* Better support of `optimize_read_in_order` in case when some of sorting key columns are always constant after applying `WHERE` clause. E.g. query like `SELECT ... FROM table WHERE a = 'x' ORDER BY a, b`, where `table` has storage definition: `MergeTree ORDER BY (a, b)`. [#38715](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38715) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Filter joined streams for `full_sorting_join` by each other before sorting. [#39418](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39418) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* LZ4 decompression optimised by skipping empty literals processing. [#40142](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40142) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Speedup backup process using native `copy` when possible instead of copying through `clickhouse-server` memory. [#40395](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40395) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)).
* Do not obtain storage snapshot for each INSERT block (slightly improves performance). [#40638](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40638) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).

* Enable the vectorscan library on ARM, this speeds up regexp evaluation. [#41033](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41033) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Upgrade vectorscan to 5.4.8 which has many performance optimizations to speed up regexp evaluation. [#41270](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41270) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Fix incorrect fallback to skip the local filesystem cache for VFS (like S3) which happened on very high concurrency level. [#40420](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40420) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* If row policy filter is always false, return empty result immediately without reading any data. This closes [#24012](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/24012). [#40740](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40740) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Parallel hash JOIN for Float data types might be suboptimal. Make it better. [#41183](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41183) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
#### Improvement
* During startup and ATTACH call, `ReplicatedMergeTree` tables will be readonly until the ZooKeeper connection is made and the setup is finished. [#40148](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40148) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Add `enable_extended_results_for_datetime_functions` option to return results of type Date32 for functions toStartOfYear, toStartOfISOYear, toStartOfQuarter, toStartOfMonth, toStartOfWeek, toMonday and toLastDayOfMonth when argument is Date32 or DateTime64, otherwise results of Date type are returned. For compatibility reasons default value is ‘0’. [#41214](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41214) ([Roman Vasin](https://github.com/rvasin)).
* For security and stability reasons, CatBoost models are no longer evaluated within the ClickHouse server. Instead, the evaluation is now done in the clickhouse-library-bridge, a separate process that loads the catboost library and communicates with the server process via HTTP. [#40897](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40897) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)). [#39629](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39629) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).

* Don't allow `dlopen` in the main ClickHouse binary, because it is harmful and insecure. We don't use it. But it can be used by some libraries for the implementation of "plugins". We absolutely discourage the ancient technique of loading 3rd-party uncontrolled dangerous libraries into the process address space, because it is insane.

### <a id="228"></a> ClickHouse release 22.8-lts, 2022-08-18
#### Backward Incompatible Change
* Extended range of `Date32` and `DateTime64` to support dates from the year 1900 to 2299. In previous versions, the supported interval was only from the year 1925 to 2283. The implementation is using the proleptic Gregorian calendar (which is conformant with [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601):2004 (clause 3.2.1 The Gregorian calendar)) instead of accounting for historical transitions from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. This change affects implementation-specific behavior for out-of-range arguments. E.g. if in previous versions the value of `1899-01-01` was clamped to `1925-01-01`, in the new version it will be clamped to `1900-01-01`. It changes the behavior of rounding with `toStartOfInterval` if you pass `INTERVAL 3 QUARTER` up to one quarter because the intervals are counted from an implementation-specific point of time. Closes [#28216](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/28216), improves [#38393](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/38393). [#39425](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39425) ([Roman Vasin](https://github.com/rvasin)).
* Now, all relevant dictionary sources respect `remote_url_allow_hosts` setting. It was already done for HTTP, Cassandra, Redis. Added ClickHouse, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL. Host is checked only for dictionaries created from DDL. [#39184](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39184) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Make the remote filesystem cache composable, allow not to evict certain files (regarding idx, mrk, ..), delete old cache version. Now it is possible to configure cache over Azure blob storage disk, over Local disk, over StaticWeb disk, etc. This PR is marked backward incompatible because cache configuration changes and in order for cache to work need to update the config file. Old cache will still be used with new configuration. The server will startup fine with the old cache configuration. Closes https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/36140. Closes https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37889. ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)). [#36171](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36171))
#### New Feature
* Query parameters can be set in interactive mode as `SET param_abc = 'def'` and transferred via the native protocol as settings. [#39906](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39906) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Quota key can be set in the native protocol ([Yakov Olkhovsky](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39874)).
* Added a setting `exact_rows_before_limit` (0/1). When enabled, ClickHouse will provide exact value for `rows_before_limit_at_least` statistic, but with the cost that the data before limit will have to be read completely. This closes [#6613](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/6613). [#25333](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/25333) ([kevin wan](https://github.com/MaxWk)).
* Added support for parallel distributed insert select with `s3Cluster` table function into tables with `Distributed` and `Replicated` engine [#34670](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/34670). [#39107](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39107) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Add new settings to control schema inference from text formats: - `input_format_try_infer_dates` - try infer dates from strings. - `input_format_try_infer_datetimes` - try infer datetimes from strings. - `input_format_try_infer_integers` - try infer `Int64` instead of `Float64`. - `input_format_json_try_infer_numbers_from_strings` - try infer numbers from json strings in JSON formats. [#39186](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39186) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* An option to provide JSON formatted log output. The purpose is to allow easier ingestion and query in log analysis tools. [#39277](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39277) ([Mallik Hassan](https://github.com/SadiHassan)).
* Add function `nowInBlock` which allows getting the current time during long-running and continuous queries. Closes [#39522](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/39522). Notes: there are no functions `now64InBlock` neither `todayInBlock`. [#39533](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39533) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add ability to specify settings for an `executable()` table function. [#39681](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39681) ([Constantine Peresypkin](https://github.com/pkit)).
* Implemented automatic conversion of database engine from `Ordinary` to `Atomic`. Create empty `convert_ordinary_to_atomic` file in `flags` directory and all `Ordinary` databases will be converted automatically on next server start. Resolves [#39546](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/39546). [#39933](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39933) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Support `SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE '...' AND STDOUT`. [#37490](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37490). [#39054](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39054) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Add formats `PrettyMonoBlock`, `PrettyNoEscapesMonoBlock`, `PrettyCompactNoEscapes`, `PrettyCompactNoEscapesMonoBlock`, `PrettySpaceNoEscapes`, `PrettySpaceMonoBlock`, `PrettySpaceNoEscapesMonoBlock`. [#39646](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39646) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add new setting schema_inference_hints that allows to specify structure hints in schema inference for specific columns. Closes [#39569](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/39569). [#40068](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40068) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
#### Experimental Feature
* Support SQL standard DELETE FROM syntax on merge tree tables and lightweight delete implementation for merge tree families. [#37893](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37893) ([Jianmei Zhang](https://github.com/zhangjmruc)) ([Alexander Gololobov](https://github.com/davenger)). Note: this new feature does not make ClickHouse an HTAP DBMS.
#### Performance Improvement
* Improved memory usage during memory efficient merging of aggregation results. [#39429](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39429) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Added concurrency control logic to limit total number of concurrent threads created by queries. [#37558](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37558) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)). Add `concurrent_threads_soft_limit parameter` to increase performance in case of high QPS by means of limiting total number of threads for all queries. [#37285](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37285) ([Roman Vasin](https://github.com/rvasin)).
* Add `SLRU` cache policy for uncompressed cache and marks cache. ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)). [#34651](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/34651) ([alexX512](https://github.com/alexX512)). Decoupling local cache function and cache algorithm [#38048](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38048) ([Han Shukai](https://github.com/KinderRiven)).
* Intel® In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (Intel® IAA) is a hardware accelerator available in the upcoming generation of Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors ("Sapphire Rapids"). Its goal is to speed up common operations in analytics like data (de)compression and filtering. ClickHouse gained the new "DeflateQpl" compression codec which utilizes the Intel® IAA offloading technology to provide a high-performance DEFLATE implementation. The codec uses the [Intel® Query Processing Library (QPL)](https://github.com/intel/qpl) which abstracts access to the hardware accelerator, respectively to a software fallback in case the hardware accelerator is not available. DEFLATE provides in general higher compression rates than ClickHouse's LZ4 default codec, and as a result, offers less disk I/O and lower main memory consumption. [#36654](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36654) ([jasperzhu](https://github.com/jinjunzh)). [#39494](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39494) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* `DISTINCT` in order with `ORDER BY`: Deduce way to sort based on input stream sort description. Skip sorting if input stream is already sorted. [#38719](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38719) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)). Improve memory usage (significantly) and query execution time + use `DistinctSortedChunkTransform` for final distinct when `DISTINCT` columns match `ORDER BY` columns, but rename to `DistinctSortedStreamTransform` in `EXPLAIN PIPELINE` → this improves memory usage significantly + remove unnecessary allocations in hot loop in `DistinctSortedChunkTransform`. [#39432](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39432) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)). Use `DistinctSortedTransform` only when sort description is applicable to DISTINCT columns, otherwise fall back to ordinary DISTINCT implementation + it allows making less checks during `DistinctSortedTransform` execution. [#39528](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39528) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)). Fix: `DistinctSortedTransform` didn't take advantage of sorting. It never cleared HashSet since clearing_columns were detected incorrectly (always empty). So, it basically worked as ordinary `DISTINCT` (`DistinctTransform`). The fix reduces memory usage significantly. [#39538](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39538) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
* Use local node as first priority to get structure of remote table when executing `cluster` and similar table functions. [#39440](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39440) ([Mingliang Pan](https://github.com/liangliangpan)).
* Optimize filtering by numeric columns with AVX512VBMI2 compress store. [#39633](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39633) ([Guo Wangyang](https://github.com/guowangy)). For systems with AVX512 VBMI2, this PR improves performance by ca. 6% for SSB benchmark queries queries 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 (SF=100). Tested on Intel Icelake Xeon 8380 * 2 socket. [#40033](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40033) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Optimize index analysis with functional expressions in multi-thread scenario. [#39812](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39812) ([Guo Wangyang](https://github.com/guowangy)).
* Optimizations for complex queries: Don't visit the AST for UDFs if none are registered. [#40069](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40069) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)). Optimize CurrentMemoryTracker alloc and free. [#40078](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40078) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Improved Base58 encoding/decoding. [#39292](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39292) ([Andrey Zvonov](https://github.com/zvonand)).
* Improve bytes to bits mask transform for SSE/AVX/AVX512. [#39586](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39586) ([Guo Wangyang](https://github.com/guowangy)).
#### Improvement
* Normalize `AggregateFunction` types and state representations because optimizations like [#35788](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/35788) will treat `count(not null columns)` as `count()`, which might confuses distributed interpreters with the following error : `Conversion from AggregateFunction(count) to AggregateFunction(count, Int64) is not supported`. [#39420](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39420) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)). The functions with identical states can be used in materialized views interchangeably.
* Rework and simplify the `system.backups` table, remove the `internal` column, allow user to set the ID of operation, add columns `num_files`, `uncompressed_size`, `compressed_size`, `start_time`, `end_time`. [#39503](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39503) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Improved structure of DDL query result table for `Replicated` database (separate columns with shard and replica name, more clear status) - `CREATE TABLE ... ON CLUSTER` queries can be normalized on initiator first if `distributed_ddl_entry_format_version` is set to 3 (default value). It means that `ON CLUSTER` queries may not work if initiator does not belong to the cluster that specified in query. Fixes [#37318](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37318), [#39500](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/39500) - Ignore `ON CLUSTER` clause if database is `Replicated` and cluster name equals to database name. Related to [#35570](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/35570) - Miscellaneous minor fixes for `Replicated` database engine - Check metadata consistency when starting up `Replicated` database, start replica recovery in case of mismatch of local metadata and metadata in Keeper. Resolves [#24880](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/24880). [#37198](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37198) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Add result_rows and result_bytes to progress reports (`X-ClickHouse-Summary`). [#39567](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39567) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Improve primary key analysis for MergeTree. [#25563](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/25563) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* `timeSlots` now works with DateTime64; subsecond duration and slot size available when working with DateTime64. [#37951](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37951) ([Andrey Zvonov](https://github.com/zvonand)).
* Added support of `LEFT SEMI` and `LEFT ANTI` direct join with `EmbeddedRocksDB` tables. [#38956](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38956) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Add profile events for fsync operations. [#39179](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39179) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Add the second argument to the ordinary function `file(path[, default])`, which function returns in the case when a file does not exists. [#39218](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39218) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Some small fixes for reading via http, allow to retry partial content in case if 200 OK. [#39244](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39244) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Support queries `CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE ... (<list of columns>) AS ...`. [#39462](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39462) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add support of `!`/`*` (exclamation/asterisk) in custom TLDs (`cutToFirstSignificantSubdomainCustom()`/`cutToFirstSignificantSubdomainCustomWithWWW()`/`firstSignificantSubdomainCustom()`). [#39496](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39496) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Add support for TLS connections to NATS. Implements [#39525](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/39525). [#39527](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39527) ([Constantine Peresypkin](https://github.com/pkit)).
* `clickhouse-obfuscator` (a tool for database obfuscation for testing and load generation) now has the new `--save` and `--load` parameters to work with pre-trained models. This closes [#39534](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/39534). [#39541](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39541) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix incorrect behavior of log rotation during restart. [#39558](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39558) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Fix building aggregate projections when external aggregation is on. Mark as improvement because the case is rare and there exists easy workaround to fix it via changing settings. This fixes [#39667](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/39667) . [#39671](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39671) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Allow to execute hash functions with arguments of type `Map`. [#39685](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39685) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Add a configuration parameter to hide addresses in stack traces. It may improve security a little but generally, it is harmful and should not be used. [#39690](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39690) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Change the prefix size of AggregateFunctionDistinct to make sure nested function data memory segment is aligned. [#39696](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39696) ([Pxl](https://github.com/BiteTheDDDDt)).
* Properly escape credentials passed to the `clickhouse-diagnostic` tool. [#39707](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39707) ([Dale McDiarmid](https://github.com/gingerwizard)).
* ClickHouse Keeper improvement: create a snapshot on exit. It can be controlled with the config `keeper_server.create_snapshot_on_exit`, `true` by default. [#39755](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39755) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Support primary key analysis for `row_policy_filter` and `additional_filter`. It also helps fix issues like [#37454](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37454) . [#39826](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39826) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Fix two usability issues in Play UI: - it was non-pixel-perfect on iPad due to parasitic border radius and margins; - the progress indication did not display after the first query. This closes [#39957](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/39957). This closes [#39960](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/39960). [#39961](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39961) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Play UI: add row numbers; add cell selection on click; add hysteresis for table cells. [#39962](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39962) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Play UI: recognize tab key in textarea, but at the same time don't mess up with tab navigation. [#40053](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40053) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* The client will show server-side elapsed time. This is important for the performance comparison of ClickHouse services in remote datacenters. This closes [#38070](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/38070). See also [this](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/blob/main/hardware/benchmark-cloud.sh#L37) for motivation. [#39968](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39968) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Adds `parseDateTime64BestEffortUS`, `parseDateTime64BestEffortUSOrNull`, `parseDateTime64BestEffortUSOrZero` functions, closing [#37492](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37492). [#40015](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40015) ([Tanya Bragin](https://github.com/tbragin)).
* Extend the `system.processors_profile_log` with more information such as input rows. [#40121](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40121) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Display server-side time in `clickhouse-benchmark` by default if it is available (since ClickHouse version 22.8). This is needed to correctly compare the performance of clouds. This behavior can be changed with the new `--client-side-time` command line option. Change the `--randomize` command line option from `--randomize 1` to the form without argument. [#40193](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40193) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add counters (ProfileEvents) for cases when query complexity limitation has been set and has reached (a separate counter for `overflow_mode` = `break` and `throw`). For example, if you have set up `max_rows_to_read` with `read_overflow_mode = 'break'`, looking at the value of `OverflowBreak` counter will allow distinguishing incomplete results. [#40205](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40205) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix memory accounting in case of "Memory limit exceeded" errors (previously [peak] memory usage was takes failed allocations into account). [#40249](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40249) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Add metrics for filesystem cache: `FilesystemCacheSize` and `FilesystemCacheElements`. [#40260](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40260) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Support Hadoop secure RPC transfer (hadoop.rpc.protection=privacy and hadoop.rpc.protection=integrity). [#39411](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39411) ([michael1589](https://github.com/michael1589)).
* Avoid continuously growing memory consumption of pattern cache when using functions multi(Fuzzy)Match(Any|AllIndices|AnyIndex)(). [#40264](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40264) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Add cache for schema inference for file/s3/hdfs/url table functions. Now, schema inference will be performed only on the first query to the file, all subsequent queries to the same file will use the schema from the cache if data has not changed. Add system table system.schema_inference_cache with all current schemas in cache and system queries SYSTEM DROP SCHEMA CACHE [FOR FILE/S3/HDFS/URL] to drop schemas from cache. [#38286](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38286) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add support for LARGE_BINARY/LARGE_STRING with Arrow (Closes [#32401](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/32401)). [#40293](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40293) ([Josh Taylor](https://github.com/joshuataylor)).
#### Build/Testing/Packaging Improvement
* [ClickFiddle](https://fiddle.clickhouse.com/): A new tool for testing ClickHouse versions in read/write mode (**Igor Baliuk**).
* ClickHouse binary is made self-extracting [#35775](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/35775) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy, Arthur Filatenkov](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).
* Update `tzdata` to 2022b to support the new timezone changes. See https://github.com/google/cctz/pull/226. Chile's 2022 DST start is delayed from September 4 to September 11. Iran plans to stop observing DST permanently after it falls back on 2022-09-21. There are corrections to the historical time zone of Asia/Tehran in the year 1977: Iran adopted standard time in 1935, not 1946. In 1977 it observed DST from 03-21 23:00 to 10-20 24:00; its 1978 transitions were on 03-24 and 08-05, not 03-20 and 10-20; and its spring 1979 transition was on 05-27, not 03-21 (https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tzdb/NEWS). ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Former packages used to install systemd.service file to `/etc`. The files there are marked as `conf` and are not cleaned out, and are not updated automatically. This PR cleans them out. [#39323](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39323) ([Mikhail f. Shiryaev](https://github.com/Felixoid)).
* Ensure LSan is effective. [#39430](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39430) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* TSAN has issues with clang-14 (https://github.com/google/sanitizers/issues/1552, https://github.com/google/sanitizers/issues/1540), so here we build the TSAN binaries with clang-15. [#39450](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39450) ([Mikhail f. Shiryaev](https://github.com/Felixoid)).
* Remove the option to build ClickHouse tools as separate executable programs. This fixes [#37847](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37847). [#39520](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39520) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).

Fixed Endian issues in Codec code for s390x architecture (which is not supported by ClickHouse). [#40008](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40008) ([Harry Lee](https://github.com/HarryLeeIBM)). Fixed Endian issues in reading/writing BigEndian binary data in ReadHelpers and WriteHelpers code for s390x architecture (which is not supported by ClickHouse). [#40179](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40179) ([Harry Lee](https://github.com/HarryLeeIBM)).
* Support build with `clang-16` (trunk). This closes [#39949](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/39949). [#40181](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40181) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Prepare RISC-V 64 build to run in CI. This is for [#40141](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/40141). [#40197](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40197) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Simplified function registration macro interface (`FUNCTION_REGISTER*`) to eliminate the step to add and call an extern function in the registerFunctions.cpp, it also makes incremental builds of a new function faster. [#38615](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38615) ([Li Yin](https://github.com/liyinsg)).
* Docker: Now entrypoint.sh in docker image creates and executes chown for all folders it finds in the config for multidisk setup [#17717](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/17717). [#39121](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39121) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).

### <a id="227"></a> ClickHouse release 22.7, 2022-07-21
#### Upgrade Notes
* Enable setting `enable_positional_arguments` by default. It allows queries like `SELECT ... ORDER BY 1, 2` where 1, 2 are the references to the select clause. If you need to return the old behavior, disable this setting. [#38204](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38204) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Disable `format_csv_allow_single_quotes` by default. See [#37096](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37096). ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* `Ordinary` database engine and old storage definition syntax for `*MergeTree` tables are deprecated. By default it's not possible to create new databases with `Ordinary` engine. If `system` database has `Ordinary` engine it will be automatically converted to `Atomic` on server startup. There are settings to keep old behavior (`allow_deprecated_database_ordinary` and `allow_deprecated_syntax_for_merge_tree`), but these settings may be removed in future releases. [#38335](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38335) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Force rewriting comma join to inner by default (set default value `cross_to_inner_join_rewrite = 2`). To have old behavior set `cross_to_inner_join_rewrite = 1`. [#39326](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/39326) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)). If you will face any incompatibilities, you can turn this setting back.

* Changes how settings using `seconds` as type are parsed to support floating point values (for example: `max_execution_time=0.5`). Infinity or NaN values will throw an exception. [#37187](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37187) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Changed format of binary serialization of columns of experimental type `Object`. New format is more convenient to implement by third-party clients. [#37482](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37482) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Turn on setting `output_format_json_named_tuples_as_objects` by default. It allows to serialize named tuples as JSON objects in JSON formats. [#37756](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37756) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* LIKE patterns with trailing escape symbol ('\\') are now disallowed (as mandated by the SQL standard). [#37764](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37764) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* If you run different ClickHouse versions on a cluster with AArch64 CPU or mix AArch64 and amd64 on a cluster, and use distributed queries with GROUP BY multiple keys of fixed-size type that fit in 256 bits but don't fit in 64 bits, and the size of the result is huge, the data will not be fully aggregated in the result of these queries during upgrade. Workaround: upgrade with downtime instead of a rolling upgrade.
#### New Feature
* Add `GROUPING` function. It allows to disambiguate the records in the queries with `ROLLUP`, `CUBE` or `GROUPING SETS`. Closes [#19426](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/19426). [#37163](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37163) ([Dmitry Novik](https://github.com/novikd)).
* A new codec [FPC](https://userweb.cs.txstate.edu/~burtscher/papers/dcc07a.pdf) algorithm for floating point data compression. [#37553](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37553) ([Mikhail Guzov](https://github.com/koloshmet)).

Closes [#36338](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/36338) Closes [#34509](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/34509). [#36975](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36975) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Added open telemetry traces visualizing tool based on d3js. [#37810](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37810) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)).
* Support INSERTs into `system.zookeeper` table. Closes [#22130](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/22130). [#37596](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37596) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).
* Support non-constant pattern argument for `LIKE`, `ILIKE` and `match` functions. [#37251](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37251) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Executable user defined functions now support parameters. Example: `SELECT test_function(parameters)(arguments)`. Closes [#37578](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37578). [#37720](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37720) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Add `merge_reason` column to system.part_log table. [#36912](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36912) ([Sema Checherinda](https://github.com/CheSema)).
* Add support for Maps and Records in Avro format. Add new setting `input_format_avro_null_as_default ` that allow to insert null as default in Avro format. Closes [#18925](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/18925) Closes [#37378](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37378) Closes [#32899](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/32899). [#37525](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37525) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add `clickhouse-disks` tool to introspect and operate on virtual filesystems configured for ClickHouse. [#36060](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36060) ([Artyom Yurkov](https://github.com/Varinara)).
* Adds H3 unidirectional edge functions. [#36843](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36843) ([Bharat Nallan](https://github.com/bharatnc)).
* Add support for calculating [hashids](https://hashids.org/) from unsigned integers. [#37013](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37013) ([Michael Nutt](https://github.com/mnutt)).
* Explicit `SALT` specification is allowed for `CREATE USER <user> IDENTIFIED WITH sha256_hash`. [#37377](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37377) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).
* Add two new settings `input_format_csv_skip_first_lines/input_format_tsv_skip_first_lines` to allow skipping specified number of lines in the beginning of the file in CSV/TSV formats. [#37537](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37537) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* `showCertificate` function shows current server's SSL certificate. [#37540](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37540) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).
* HTTP source for Data Dictionaries in Named Collections is supported. [#37581](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37581) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).
* Implemented changing the comment for `ReplicatedMergeTree` tables. [#37416](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37416) ([Vasily Nemkov](https://github.com/Enmk)).
* Added `SYSTEM UNFREEZE` query that deletes the whole backup regardless if the corresponding table is deleted or not. [#36424](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36424) ([Vadim Volodin](https://github.com/PolyProgrammist)).
#### Experimental Feature
* Enables `POPULATE` for `WINDOW VIEW`. [#36945](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36945) ([vxider](https://github.com/Vxider)).
* `ALTER TABLE ... MODIFY QUERY` support for `WINDOW VIEW`. [#37188](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37188) ([vxider](https://github.com/Vxider)).
* This PR changes the behavior of the `ENGINE` syntax in `WINDOW VIEW`, to make it like in `MATERIALIZED VIEW`. [#37214](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37214) ([vxider](https://github.com/Vxider)).
#### Performance Improvement
* Added numerous optimizations for ARM NEON [#38093](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38093)([Daniel Kutenin](https://github.com/danlark1)), ([Alexandra Pilipyuk](https://github.com/chalice19)) Note: if you run different ClickHouse versions on a cluster with ARM CPU and use distributed queries with GROUP BY multiple keys of fixed-size type that fit in 256 bits but don't fit in 64 bits, the result of the aggregation query will be wrong during upgrade. Workaround: upgrade with downtime instead of a rolling upgrade.
* Improve performance and memory usage for select of subset of columns for formats Native, Protobuf, CapnProto, JSONEachRow, TSKV, all formats with suffixes WithNames/WithNamesAndTypes. Previously while selecting only subset of columns from files in these formats all columns were read and stored in memory. Now only required columns are read. This PR enables setting `input_format_skip_unknown_fields` by default, because otherwise in case of select of subset of columns exception will be thrown. [#37192](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37192) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Now more filters can be pushed down for join. [#37472](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37472) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Load marks for only necessary columns when reading wide parts. [#36879](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36879) ([Anton Kozlov](https://github.com/tonickkozlov)).
* Improved performance of aggregation in case, when sparse columns (can be enabled by experimental setting `ratio_of_defaults_for_sparse_serialization` in `MergeTree` tables) are used as arguments in aggregate functions. [#37617](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37617) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Optimize function `COALESCE` with two arguments. [#37666](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37666) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Replace `multiIf` to `if` in case when `multiIf` has only one condition, because function `if` is more performant. [#37695](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37695) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Improve performance of `dictGetDescendants`, `dictGetChildren` functions, create temporary parent to children hierarchical index per query, not per function call during query. Allow to specify `BIDIRECTIONAL` for `HIERARHICAL` attributes, dictionary will maintain parent to children index in memory, that way functions `dictGetDescendants`, `dictGetChildren` will not create temporary index per query. Closes [#32481](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/32481). [#37148](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37148) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Aggregates state destruction now may be posted on a thread pool. For queries with LIMIT and big state it provides significant speedup, e.g. `select uniq(number) from numbers_mt(1e7) group by number limit 100` became around 2.5x faster. [#37855](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37855) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Improve sort performance by single column. [#37195](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37195) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Improve performance of single column sorting using sorting queue specializations. [#37990](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37990) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Improved performance on array norm and distance functions 2x-4x times. [#37394](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37394) ([Alexander Gololobov](https://github.com/davenger)).
* Improve performance of number comparison functions using dynamic dispatch. [#37399](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37399) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Improve performance of ORDER BY with LIMIT. [#37481](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37481) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Improve performance of `hasAll` function using dynamic dispatch infrastructure. [#37484](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37484) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Improve performance of `greatCircleAngle`, `greatCircleDistance`, `geoDistance` functions. [#37524](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37524) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Improve performance of insert into MergeTree if there are multiple columns in ORDER BY. [#35762](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/35762) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Fix excessive CPU usage in background when there are a lot of tables. [#38028](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38028) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Improve performance of `not` function using dynamic dispatch. [#38058](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38058) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Optimized the internal caching of re2 patterns which occur e.g. in LIKE and MATCH functions. [#37544](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37544) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Improve filter bitmask generator function all in one with AVX-512 instructions. [#37588](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37588) ([yaqi-zhao](https://github.com/yaqi-zhao)).
* Apply read method `threadpool` for Hive integration engine. This will significantly speed up reading. [#36328](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36328) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* When all the columns to read are partition keys, construct columns by the file's row number without real reading the Hive file. [#37103](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37103) ([lgbo](https://github.com/lgbo-ustc)).
* Support multi disks for caching hive files. [#37279](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37279) ([lgbo](https://github.com/lgbo-ustc)).
* Limiting the maximum cache usage per query can effectively prevent cache pool contamination. [Related Issues](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/28961). [#37859](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37859) ([Han Shukai](https://github.com/KinderRiven)).
* Currently clickhouse directly downloads all remote files to the local cache (even if they are only read once), which will frequently cause IO of the local hard disk. In some scenarios, these IOs may not be necessary and may easily cause negative optimization. As shown in the figure below, when we run SSB Q1-Q4, the performance of the cache has caused negative optimization. [#37516](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37516) ([Han Shukai](https://github.com/KinderRiven)).
* Allow to prune the list of files via virtual columns such as `_file` and `_path` when reading from S3. This is for [#37174](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37174) , [#23494](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/23494). [#37356](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37356) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* In function: CompressedWriteBuffer::nextImpl(), there is an unnecessary write-copy step that would happen frequently during inserting data. Below shows the differentiation with this patch: - Before: 1. Compress "working_buffer" into "compressed_buffer" 2. write-copy into "out" - After: Directly Compress "working_buffer" into "out". [#37242](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37242) ([jasperzhu](https://github.com/jinjunzh)).
#### Improvement
* Support types with non-standard defaults in ROLLUP, CUBE, GROUPING SETS. Closes [#37360](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37360). [#37667](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37667) ([Dmitry Novik](https://github.com/novikd)).
* Fix stack traces collection on ARM. Closes [#37044](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37044). Closes [#15638](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/15638). [#37797](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37797) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Client will try every IP address returned by DNS resolution until successful connection. [#37273](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37273) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).
* Allow to use String type instead of Binary in Arrow/Parquet/ORC formats. This PR introduces 3 new settings for it: `output_format_arrow_string_as_string`, `output_format_parquet_string_as_string`, `output_format_orc_string_as_string`. Default value for all settings is `false`. [#37327](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37327) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Apply setting `input_format_max_rows_to_read_for_schema_inference` for all read rows in total from all files in globs. Previously setting `input_format_max_rows_to_read_for_schema_inference` was applied for each file in glob separately and in case of huge number of nulls we could read first `input_format_max_rows_to_read_for_schema_inference` rows from each file and get nothing. Also increase default value for this setting to 25000. [#37332](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37332) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add separate `CLUSTER` grant (and `access_control_improvements.on_cluster_queries_require_cluster_grant` configuration directive, for backward compatibility, default to `false`). [#35767](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/35767) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Added support for schema inference for `hdfsCluster`. [#35812](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/35812) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Implement `least_used` load balancing algorithm for disks inside volume (multi disk configuration). [#36686](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36686) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Modify the HTTP Endpoint to return the full stats under the `X-ClickHouse-Summary` header when `send_progress_in_http_headers=0` (before it would return all zeros). - Modify the HTTP Endpoint to return `X-ClickHouse-Exception-Code` header when progress has been sent before (`send_progress_in_http_headers=1`) - Modify the HTTP Endpoint to return `HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT` (408) instead of `HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR` (500) on `TIMEOUT_EXCEEDED` errors. [#36884](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36884) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Allow a user to inspect grants from granted roles. [#36941](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36941) ([nvartolomei](https://github.com/nvartolomei)).
* Do not calculate an integral numerically but use CDF functions instead. This will speed up execution and will increase the precision. This fixes [#36714](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/36714). [#36953](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/36953) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Add default implementation for Nothing in functions. Now most of the functions will return column with type Nothing in case one of it's arguments is Nothing. It also solves problem with functions like arrayMap/arrayFilter and similar when they have empty array as an argument. Previously queries like `select arrayMap(x -> 2 * x, []);` failed because function inside lambda cannot work with type `Nothing`, now such queries return empty array with type `Array(Nothing)`. Also add support for arrays of nullable types in functions like arrayFilter/arrayFill. Previously, queries like `select arrayFilter(x -> x % 2, [1, NULL])` failed, now they work (if the result of lambda is NULL, then this value won't be included in the result). Closes [#37000](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37000). [#37048](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37048) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Now if a shard has local replica we create a local plan and a plan to read from all remote replicas. They have shared initiator which coordinates reading. [#37204](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37204) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Do no longer abort server startup if configuration option "mark_cache_size" is not explicitly set. [#37326](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37326) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Allows providing `NULL`/`NOT NULL` right after type in column declaration. [#37337](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37337) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
* optimize file segment PARTIALLY_DOWNLOADED get read buffer. [#37338](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37338) ([xiedeyantu](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).
* Try to improve short circuit functions processing to fix problems with stress tests. [#37384](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37384) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Generate multiple columns with UUID (generateUUIDv4(1), generateUUIDv4(2)) [#37395](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37395). [#37415](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37415) ([Memo](https://github.com/Joeywzr)).
* Fix extremely rare deadlock during part fetch in zero-copy replication. Fixes [#37423](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37423). [#37424](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37424) ([metahys](https://github.com/metahys)).
* Don't allow to create storage with unknown data format. [#37450](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37450) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Set `global_memory_usage_overcommit_max_wait_microseconds` default value to 5 seconds. Add info about `OvercommitTracker` to OOM exception message. Add `MemoryOvercommitWaitTimeMicroseconds` profile event. [#37460](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37460) ([Dmitry Novik](https://github.com/novikd)).
* Do not display `-0.0` CPU time in clickhouse-client. It can appear due to rounding errors. This closes [#38003](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/38003). This closes [#38038](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/38038). [#38064](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38064) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Play UI: Keep controls in place when the page is scrolled horizontally. This makes edits comfortable even if the table is wide and it was scrolled far to the right. The feature proposed by Maksym Tereshchenko from CaspianDB. [#37470](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37470) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Modify query div in play.html to be extendable beyond 20% height. In case of very long queries it is helpful to extend the textarea element, only today, since the div is fixed height, the extended textarea hides the data div underneath. With this fix, extending the textarea element will push the data div down/up such the extended textarea won't hide it. Also, keeps query box width 100% even when the user adjusting the size of the query textarea. [#37488](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37488) ([guyco87](https://github.com/guyco87)).
* Added `ProfileEvents` for introspection of type of written (inserted or merged) parts (`Inserted{Wide/Compact/InMemory}Parts`, `MergedInto{Wide/Compact/InMemory}Parts`. Added column `part_type` to `system.part_log`. Resolves [#37495](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/37495). [#37536](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37536) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* clickhouse-keeper improvement: move broken logs to a timestamped folder. [#37565](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37565) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Do not write expired columns by TTL after subsequent merges (before only first merge/optimize of the part will not write expired by TTL columns, all other will do). [#37570](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37570) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* More precise result of the `dumpColumnStructure` miscellaneous function in presence of LowCardinality or Sparse columns. In previous versions, these functions were converting the argument to a full column before returning the result. This is needed to provide an answer in [#6935](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/6935). [#37633](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37633) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
