A fix for a feature that previously had unwanted behaviour. Do not allow direct select for Kafka/RabbitMQ/FileLog. Can be enabled by setting stream_like_engine_allow_direct_select. Direct select will be not allowed even if enabled by setting, in case there is an attached materialized view. For Kafka and RabbitMQ direct selectm if allowed, will not commit massages by default. To enable commits with direct select, user must use storage level setting kafka{rabbitmq}_commit_on_select=1 (default 0). #31053 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
A slight change in behaviour of a new function. Return unquoted string in JSON_VALUE. Closes #27965. #31008 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Setting rename. Add custom null representation support for TSV/CSV input formats. Fix deserialing Nullable(String) in TSV/CSV/JSONCompactStringsEachRow/JSONStringsEachRow input formats. Rename output_format_csv_null_representation and output_format_tsv_null_representation to format_csv_null_representation and format_tsv_null_representation accordingly. #30497 (Kruglov Pavel).
Further deprecation of already unused code. This is relevant only for users of ClickHouse versions older than 20.6. A "leader election" mechanism is removed from ReplicatedMergeTree, because multiple leaders are supported since 20.6. If you are upgrading from an older version and some replica with an old version is a leader, then server will fail to start after upgrade. Stop replicas with old version to make new version start. After that it will not be possible to downgrade to version older than 20.6. #32140 (tavplubix).
Support for PARTITION BY in File, URL, HDFS storages and with INSERT INTO table function. Closes #30273. #30690 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Added CONSTRAINT ... ASSUME ... (without checking during INSERT). Added query transformation to CNF (https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/11749) for more convenient optimization. Added simple query rewriting using constraints (only simple matching now, will be improved to support <,=,>... later). Added ability to replace heavy columns with light columns if it's possible. #18787 (Nikita Vasilev).

TLDR: Major improvements of completeness and consistency of text formats. Refactor formats TSV, TSVRaw, CSV and JSONCompactEachRow, JSONCompactStringsEachRow, remove code duplication, add base interface for formats with -WithNames and -WithNamesAndTypes suffixes. Add formats CSVWithNamesAndTypes, TSVRawWithNames, TSVRawWithNamesAndTypes, JSONCompactEachRowWIthNames, JSONCompactStringsEachRowWIthNames, RowBinaryWithNames. Support parallel parsing for formats TSVWithNamesAndTypes, TSVRaw(WithNames/WIthNamesAndTypes), CSVWithNamesAndTypes, JSONCompactEachRow(WithNames/WIthNamesAndTypes), JSONCompactStringsEachRow(WithNames/WIthNamesAndTypes). Support columns mapping and types checking for RowBinaryWithNamesAndTypes format. Add setting input_format_with_types_use_header which specify if we should check that types written in <format_name>WIthNamesAndTypes format matches with table structure. Add setting input_format_csv_empty_as_default and use it in CSV format instead of input_format_defaults_for_omitted_fields (because this setting should not control csv_empty_as_default). Fix usage of setting input_format_defaults_for_omitted_fields (it was used only as csv_empty_as_default, but it should control calculation of default expressions for omitted fields). Fix Nullable input/output in TSVRaw format, make this format fully compatible with inserting into TSV. Fix inserting NULLs in LowCardinality(Nullable) when input_format_null_as_default is enabled (previously default values was inserted instead of actual NULLs). Fix strings deserialization in JSONStringsEachRow/JSONCompactStringsEachRow formats (strings were parsed just until first '\n' or '\t'). Add ability to use Raw escaping rule in Template input format. Add diagnostic info for JSONCompactEachRow(WithNames/WIthNamesAndTypes) input format. Fix bug with parallel parsing of -WithNames formats in case when setting min_chunk_bytes_for_parallel_parsing is less than bytes in a single row. #30178 (Kruglov Pavel). Allow to print/parse names and types of colums in CustomSeparated input/output format.

Function bayesAB is removed. Please help to return this function back, refreshed. This closes #26233. #29934 (alexey-milovidov).
This is relevant only if you already started using the experimental clickhouse-keeper support. Now ClickHouse Keeper snapshots compressed with ZSTD codec by default instead of custom ClickHouse LZ4 block compression. This behavior can be turned off with compress_snapshots_with_zstd_format coordination setting (must be equal on all quorum replicas). Backward incompatibility is quite rare and may happen only when new node will send snapshot (happens in case of recovery) to the old node which is unable to read snapshots in ZSTD format. #29417 (alesapin).
New asynchronous INSERT mode allows to accumulate inserted data and store it in a single batch in background. On client it can be enabled by setting async_insert for INSERT queries with data inlined in query or in separate buffer (e.g. for INSERT queries via HTTP protocol). If wait_for_async_insert is true (by default) the client will wait until data will be flushed to table. On server-side it controlled by the settings async_insert_threads, async_insert_max_data_size and async_insert_busy_timeout_ms. Implements #18282. #27537 (Anton Popov). #20557 (Ivan). Notes on performance: with asynchronous inserts you can do up to around 10 000 individual INSERT queries per second, so it is still recommended to insert in batches if you want to achieve performance up to millions inserted rows per second.
Add interactive mode for clickhouse-local. So, you can just run clickhouse-local to get a command line ClickHouse interface without connecting to a server and process data from files and external data sources. Also merge the code of clickhouse-client and clickhouse-local together. Closes #7203. Closes #25516. Closes #22401. #26231 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Added support for executable (scriptable) user defined functions. These are UDFs that can be written in any programming language. #28803 (Maksim Kita).

Added function tokens. That allow to split string into tokens using non-alpha numeric ASCII characters as separators. #29981 (Maksim Kita). Added function ngrams to extract ngrams from text. Closes #29699. #29738 (Maksim Kita).
Streaming consumption of application log files in ClickHouse with FileLog table engine. It's like Kafka or RabbitMQ engine but for append-only and rotated logs in local filesystem. Closes #6953. #25969 (flynn) (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Add a function getOSKernelVersion - it returns a string with OS kernel version. #29755 (Memo).
Added MD4 and SHA384 functions. MD4 is an obsolete and insecure hash function, it can be used only in rare cases when MD4 is already being used in some legacy system and you need to get exactly the same result. #29602 (Nikita Tikhomirov).
HSTS can be enabled for ClickHouse HTTP server by setting hsts_max_age in configuration file with a positive number. #29516 (凌涛).

Executable, ExecutablePool added option send_chunk_header. If this option is true then chunk rows_count with line break will be sent to client before chunk. #28833 (Maksim Kita).
tokenbf_v1 and ngram support Map with key of String of FixedSring type. It enhance data skipping in query with map key filter. sql CREATE TABLE map_tokenbf ( row_id UInt32, map Map(String, String), INDEX map_tokenbf map TYPE ngrambf_v1(4,256,2,0) GRANULARITY 1 ) Engine=MergeTree() Order by id With table above, the query select * from map_tokebf where map['K']='V' will skip the granule that doesn't contain key A . Of course, how many rows will skipped is depended on the granularity and index_granularity you set. #28511 (凌涛).

Add Function toUUIDOrDefault, toUInt8/16/32/64/256OrDefault, toInt8/16/32/64/128/256OrDefault, which enables user defining default value(not null) when string parsing is failed. #21330 (taiyang-li).
Background merges can be preempted by each other and they are scheduled with appropriate priorities. Now long running merges won't prevent short merges to proceed. This is needed for a better scheduling and controlling of merges execution. It reduces the chances to get "too many parts" error. #22381. #25165 (Nikita Mikhaylov). Added an ability to execute more merges and mutations than the number of threads in background pool. Merges and mutations will be executed step by step according to their sizes (lower is more prioritized). The ratio of the number of tasks to threads to execute is controlled by a setting background_merges_mutations_concurrency_ratio, 2 by default. #29140 (Nikita Mikhaylov).
Allow to use asynchronous reads for remote filesystems. Lower the number of seeks while reading from remote filesystems. It improves performance tremendously and makes the experimental web and s3 disks to work faster than EBS under certain conditions. #29205 (Kseniia Sumarokova). In the meantime, the web disk type (static dataset hosted on a web server) is graduated from being experimental to be production ready.

Now the following MergeTree table-level settings: replicated_max_parallel_sends, replicated_max_parallel_sends_for_table, replicated_max_parallel_fetches, replicated_max_parallel_fetches_for_table do nothing. They never worked well and were replaced with max_replicated_fetches_network_bandwidth, max_replicated_sends_network_bandwidth and background_fetches_pool_size. #28404 (alesapin).
Add feature for creating user-defined functions (UDF) as lambda expressions. Syntax CREATE FUNCTION {function_name} as ({parameters}) -> {function core}. Example CREATE FUNCTION plus_one as (a) -> a + 1. Authors @Realist007. #27796 (Maksim Kita) #23978 (Realist007).

Added replication_wait_for_inactive_replica_timeout setting. It allows to specify how long to wait for inactive replicas to execute ALTER/OPTIMZE/TRUNCATE query (default is 120 seconds). If replication_alter_partitions_sync is 2 and some replicas are not active for more than replication_wait_for_inactive_replica_timeout seconds, then UNFINISHED will be thrown. #27931 (tavplubix).
Support lambda argument for APPLY column transformer which allows applying functions with more than one argument. This is for #27877. #27901 (Amos Bird).

Add new log level test for testing environments. It is even more verbose than the default trace. #28559 (alesapin).
Temporarily switched ubuntu apt repository to mirror ru.archive.ubuntu.com as the default one (archive.ubuntu.com) is not responding from our CI. #28016 (Ilya Yatsishin).
Do not output trailing zeros in text representation of Decimal types. Example: 1.23 will be printed instead of 1.230000 for decimal with scale 6. This closes #15794. It may introduce slight incompatibility if your applications somehow relied on the trailing zeros. Serialization in output formats can be controlled with the setting output_format_decimal_trailing_zeros. Implementation of toString and casting to String is changed unconditionally. #27680 (alexey-milovidov).
Do not allow to apply parametric aggregate function with -Merge combinator to aggregate function state if state was produced by aggregate function with different parameters. For example, state of fooState(42)(x) cannot be finalized with fooMerge(s) or fooMerge(123)(s), parameters must be specified explicitly like fooMerge(42)(s) and must be equal. It does not affect some special aggregate functions like quantile and sequence* that use parameters for finalization only. #26847 (tavplubix).
Under clickhouse-local, always treat local addresses with a port as remote. #26736 (Raúl Marín).
Fix the issue that in case of some sophisticated query with column aliases identical to the names of expressions, bad cast may happen. This fixes #25447. This fixes #26914. This fix may introduce backward incompatibility: if there are different expressions with identical names, exception will be thrown. It may break some rare cases when enable_optimize_predicate_expression is set. #26639 (alexey-milovidov).
Now, scalar subquery always returns Nullable result if it's type can be Nullable. It is needed because in case of empty subquery it's result should be Null. Previously, it was possible to get error about incompatible types (type deduction does not execute scalar subquery, and it could use not-nullable type). Scalar subquery with empty result which can't be converted to Nullable (like Array or Tuple) now throws error. Fixes #25411. #26423 (Nikolai Kochetov).
Introduce syntax for here documents. Example SELECT $doc$ VALUE $doc$. #26671 (Maksim Kita). This change is backward incompatible if in query there are identifiers that contain $#28768.
Now indices can handle Nullable types, including isNull and isNotNull. #12433 and #12455 (Amos Bird) and #27250 (Azat Khuzhin). But this was done with on-disk format changes, and even though new server can read old data, old server cannot. Also, in case you have MINMAX data skipping indices, you may get Data after mutation/merge is not byte-identical error, since new index will have .idx2 extension while before it was .idx. That said, that you should not delay updating all existing replicas, in this case, otherwise, if old replica (<21.9) will download data from new replica with 21.9+ it will not be able to apply index for downloaded part.

If file descriptor in File table is regular file - allow to read multiple times from it. It allows clickhouse-local to read multiple times from stdin (with multiple SELECT queries or subqueries) if stdin is a regular file like clickhouse-local --query "SELECT * FROM table UNION ALL SELECT * FROM table" ... < file. This closes #11124. Co-authored with (alexey-milovidov). #25960 (BoloniniD).

Send response with error message if HTTP port is not set and user tries to send HTTP request to TCP port. #27385 (Braulio Valdivielso Martínez).
Add _CAST function for internal usage, which will not preserve type nullability, but non-internal cast will preserve according to setting cast_keep_nullable. Closes #12636. #27382 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Add setting log_formatted_queries to log additional formatted query into system.query_log. It's useful for normalized query analysis because functions like normalizeQuery and normalizeQueryKeepNames don't parse/format queries in order to achieve better performance. #27380 (Amos Bird).
Add two settings max_hyperscan_regexp_length and max_hyperscan_regexp_total_length to prevent huge regexp being used in hyperscan related functions, such as multiMatchAny. #27378 (Amos Bird).

Improved the existence condition judgment and empty string node judgment when clickhouse-keeper creates znode. #27125 (小路).
Merge JOIN correctly handles empty set in the right. #27078 (Vladimir C).
Now functions can be shard-level constants, which means if it's executed in the context of some distributed table, it generates a normal column, otherwise it produces a constant value. Notable functions are: hostName(), tcpPort(), version(), buildId(), uptime(), etc. #27020 (Amos Bird).
Updated extractAllGroupsHorizontal - upper limit on the number of matches per row can be set via optional third argument. #26961 (Vasily Nemkov).
Expose RocksDB statistics via system.rocksdb table. Read rocksdb options from ClickHouse config (rocksdb... keys). NOTE: ClickHouse does not rely on RocksDB, it is just one of the additional integration storage engines. #26821 (Azat Khuzhin).
Less verbose internal RocksDB logs. NOTE: ClickHouse does not rely on RocksDB, it is just one of the additional integration storage engines. This closes #26252. #26789 (alexey-milovidov).
Fix excessive (x2) connect attempts with skip_unavailable_shards. #26658 (Azat Khuzhin).
Avoid hanging clickhouse-benchmark if connection fails (i.e. on EMFILE). #26656 (Azat Khuzhin).
Allow more threads to be used by the Kafka engine. #26642 (feihengye).
Add round-robin support for clickhouse-benchmark (it does not differ from the regular multi host/port run except for statistics report). #26607 (Azat Khuzhin).
Executable dictionaries (executable, executable_pool) enable creation with DDL query using clickhouse-local. Closes #22355. #26510 (Maksim Kita).
Set client query kind for mysql and postgresql compatibility protocol handlers. #26498 (anneji-dev).
Apply LIMIT on the shards for queries like SELECT * FROM dist ORDER BY key LIMIT 10 w/ distributed_push_down_limit=1. Avoid running Distinct/LIMIT BY steps for queries like SELECT DISTINCT shading_key FROM dist ORDER BY key. Now distributed_push_down_limit is respected by optimize_distributed_group_by_sharding_key optimization. #26466 (Azat Khuzhin).
Enable use_hedged_requests setting that allows to mitigate tail latencies on large clusters. #26380 (alexey-milovidov).
Improve behaviour with non-existing host in user allowed host list. #26368 (ianton-ru).

Apply aggressive IN index analysis for projections so that better projection candidate can be selected. #26218 (Amos Bird).
Remove GLOBAL keyword for IN when scalar function is passed. In previous versions, if user specified GLOBAL IN f(x) exception was thrown. #26217 (Amos Bird).
Fix incorrect output with --progress option for clickhouse-local. Progress bar will be cleared once it gets to 100% - same as it is done for clickhouse-client. Closes #17484. #26128 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Remove complicated usage of Linux AIO with one block readahead and replace it with plain simple synchronous IO with O_DIRECT. In previous versions, the setting min_bytes_to_use_direct_io may not work correctly if max_threads is greater than one. Reading with direct IO (that is disabled by default for queries and enabled by default for large merges) will work in less efficient way. This closes #25997. #26003 (alexey-milovidov).
Flush Distributed table on REPLACE TABLE query. Resolves #24566 - Do not replace (or create) table on [CREATE OR] REPLACE TABLE ... AS SELECT query if insertion into new table fails. Resolves #23175. #25895 (tavplubix).
Add views column to system.query_log containing the names of the (materialized or live) views executed by the query. Adds a new log table (system.query_views_log) that contains information about each view executed during a query. Modifies view execution: When an exception is thrown while executing a view, any view that has already startedwill continue running until it finishes. This used to be the behaviour under parallel_view_processing=true and now it's always the same behaviour. - Dependent views now report reading progress to the context. #25714 (Raúl Marín).
Do connection draining asynchonously upon finishing executing distributed queries. A new server setting is added max_threads_for_connection_collector which specifies the number of workers to recycle connections in background. If the pool is full, connection will be drained synchronously but a bit different than before: It's drained after we send EOS to client, query will succeed immediately after receiving enough data, and any exception will be logged instead of throwing to the client. Added setting drain_timeout (3 seconds by default). Connection draining will disconnect upon timeout. #25674 (Amos Bird).
Support for multiple includes in configuration. It is possible to include users configuration, remote servers configuration from multiple sources. Simply place <include /> element with from_zk, from_env or incl attribute and it will be replaced with the substitution. #24404 (nvartolomei).
Fix multiple block insertion into distributed table with insert_distributed_one_random_shard = 1. This is a marginal feature. Mark as improvement. #23140 (Amos Bird).
Support LowCardinality and FixedString keys/values for Map type. #21543 (hexiaoting).
Fix bad type cast when functions like arrayHas are applied to arrays of LowCardinality of Nullable of different non-numeric types like DateTime and DateTime64. In previous versions bad cast occurs. In new version it will lead to exception. This closes #26330. #27682 (alexey-milovidov).
Fix errors like Expected ColumnLowCardinality, gotUInt8 or Bad cast from type DB::ColumnVector<char8_t> to DB::ColumnLowCardinality for some queries with LowCardinality in PREWHERE. And more importantly, fix the lack of whitespace in the error message. Fixes #23515. #27298 (Nikolai Kochetov).
Fix distributed_group_by_no_merge = 2 with distributed_push_down_limit = 1 or optimize_distributed_group_by_sharding_key = 1 with LIMIT BY and LIMIT OFFSET. #27249 (Azat Khuzhin). These are obscure combination of settings that no one is using.
Fix mutation stuck on invalid partitions in non-replicated MergeTree. #27248 (Azat Khuzhin).
In case of ambiguity, lambda functions prefer its arguments to other aliases or identifiers. #27235 (Raúl Marín).
Fixed cache, complex_key_cache, ssd_cache, complex_key_ssd_cache configuration parsing. Options allow_read_expired_keys, max_update_queue_size, update_queue_push_timeout_milliseconds, query_wait_timeout_milliseconds were not parsed for dictionaries with non cache type. #27032 (Maksim Kita).
Fix possible mutation stack due to race with DROP_RANGE. #27002 (Azat Khuzhin).

Remove excessive newline in thread_name column in system.stack_trace table. This fixes #24124. #26210 (alexey-milovidov).
Fix potential crash if more than one untuple expression is used. #26179 (alexey-milovidov).
Don't throw exception in toString for Nullable Enum if Enum does not have a value for zero, close #25806. #26123 (Vladimir C).
Fixed incorrect sequence_id in MySQL protocol packets that ClickHouse sends on exception during query execution. It might cause MySQL client to reset connection to ClickHouse server. Fixes #21184. #26051 (tavplubix).
Fix for the case that cutToFirstSignificantSubdomainCustom()/cutToFirstSignificantSubdomainCustomWithWWW()/firstSignificantSubdomainCustom() returns incorrect type for consts, and hence optimize_skip_unused_shards does not work:. #26041 (Azat Khuzhin).
Fix possible mismatched header when using normal projection with prewhere. This fixes #26020. #26038 (Amos Bird).
Fix sharding_key from column w/o function for remote() (before select * from remote('127.1', system.one, dummy) leads to Unknown column: dummy, there are only columns . error). #25824 (Azat Khuzhin).
Fixed Not found column ... and Missing column ... errors when selecting from MaterializeMySQL. Fixes #23708, #24830, #25794. #25822 (tavplubix).
Fix optimize_skip_unused_shards_rewrite_in for non-UInt64 types (may select incorrect shards eventually or throw Cannot infer type of an empty tuple or Function tuple requires at least one argument). #25798 (Azat Khuzhin).
Now we ran stateful and stateless tests in random timezones. Fixes #12439. Reading String as DateTime and writing DateTime as String in Protobuf format now respect timezone. Reading UInt16 as DateTime in Arrow and Parquet formats now treat it as Date and then converts to DateTime with respect to DateTime's timezone, because Date is serialized in Arrow and Parquet as UInt16. GraphiteMergeTree now respect time zone for rounding of times. Fixes #5098. Author: @alexey-milovidov. #15408 (alesapin).
New version is using Map data type for system logs tables (system.query_log, system.query_thread_log, system.processes, system.opentelemetry_span_log). These tables will be auto-created with new data types. Virtual columns are created to support old queries. Closes #18698. #23934, #25773 (hexiaoting, sundy-li, Maksim Kita). If you want to downgrade from version 21.8 to older versions, you will need to cleanup system tables with logs manually. Look at /var/lib/clickhouse/data/system/*_log.
Collect common system metrics (in system.asynchronous_metrics and system.asynchronous_metric_log) on CPU usage, disk usage, memory usage, IO, network, files, load average, CPU frequencies, thermal sensors, EDAC counters, system uptime; also added metrics about the scheduling jitter and the time spent collecting the metrics. It works similar to atop in ClickHouse and allows access to monitoring data even if you have no additional tools installed. Close #9430. #24416 (alexey-milovidov, Yegor Levankov).
Add MaterializedPostgreSQL table engine and database engine. This database engine allows replicating a whole database or any subset of database tables. #20470 (Kseniia Sumarokova).

More instrumentation for network interaction: add counters for recv/send bytes; add gauges for recvs/sends. Added missing documentation. Close #5897. #25962 (alexey-milovidov).
Add setting optimize_move_to_prewhere_if_final. If query has FINAL, the optimization move_to_prewhere will be enabled only if both optimize_move_to_prewhere and optimize_move_to_prewhere_if_final are enabled. Closes #8684. #25940 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Add support for Unicode (e.g. Chinese, Cyrillic) components in Nested data types. Close #25594. #25923 (alexey-milovidov).

CAST from Date to DateTime (or DateTime64) was not using the timezone of the DateTime type. It can also affect the comparison between Date and DateTime. Inference of the common type for Date and DateTime also was not using the corresponding timezone. It affected the results of function if and array construction. Closes #24128. #24129 (Maksim Kita).
Fixed rare bug in lost replica recovery that may cause replicas to diverge. #26321 (tavplubix).
Fix zstd decompression in case there are escape sequences at the end of internal buffer. Closes #26013. #26314 (Kseniia Sumarokova).

Fix rare bug with DROP PART query for ReplicatedMergeTree tables which can lead to error message Unexpected merged part intersecting drop range. #25783 (alesapin).
Fix bug in TTL with GROUP BY expression which refuses to execute TTL after first execution in part. #25743 (alesapin).
Improved performance of queries with explicitly defined large sets. Added compatibility setting legacy_column_name_of_tuple_literal. It makes sense to set it to true, while doing rolling update of cluster from version lower than 21.7 to any higher version. Otherwise distributed queries with explicitly defined sets at IN clause may fail during update. #25371 (Anton Popov).
Forward/backward incompatible change of maximum buffer size in clickhouse-keeper (an experimental alternative to ZooKeeper). Better to do it now (before production), than later. #25421 (alesapin).
Support configuration in YAML format as alternative to XML. This closes #3607. #21858 (BoloniniD).
Provides a way to restore replicated table when the data is (possibly) present, but the ZooKeeper metadata is lost. Resolves #13458. #13652 (Mike Kot).
Support structs and maps in Arrow/Parquet/ORC and dictionaries in Arrow input/output formats. Present new setting output_format_arrow_low_cardinality_as_dictionary. #24341 (Kruglov Pavel).
Added function dateName to return names like 'Friday' or 'April'. Author [Daniil Kondratyev] (@dankondr). #25372 (Maksim Kita).
Add toJSONString function to serialize columns to their JSON representations. #25164 (Amos Bird).
Now query_log has two new columns: initial_query_start_time, initial_query_start_time_microsecond that record the starting time of a distributed query if any. #25022 (Amos Bird).
Add aggregate function segmentLengthSum. #24250 (flynn).
Add a new boolean setting prefer_global_in_and_join which defaults all IN/JOIN as GLOBAL IN/JOIN. #23434 (Amos Bird).
Support ALTER DELETE queries for Join table engine. #23260 (foolchi).
Add quantileBFloat16 aggregate function as well as the corresponding quantilesBFloat16 and medianBFloat16. It is very simple and fast quantile estimator with relative error not more than 0.390625%. This closes #16641. #23204 (Ivan Novitskiy).
Implement sequenceNextNode() function useful for flow analysis. #19766 (achimbab).
Added optimization that transforms some functions to reading of subcolumns to reduce amount of read data. E.g., statement col IS NULL is transformed to reading of subcolumn col.null. Optimization can be enabled by setting optimize_functions_to_subcolumns which is currently off by default. #24406 (Anton Popov).
Rewrite more columns to possible alias expressions. This may enable better optimization, such as projections. #24405 (Amos Bird).
Index of type bloom_filter can be used for expressions with hasAny function with constant arrays. This closes: #24291. #24900 (Vasily Nemkov).
Add exponential backoff to reschedule read attempt in case RabbitMQ queues are empty. (ClickHouse has support for importing data from RabbitMQ). Closes #24340. #24415 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Allow to limit bandwidth for replication. Add two Replicated*MergeTree settings: max_replicated_fetches_network_bandwidth and max_replicated_sends_network_bandwidth which allows to limit maximum speed of replicated fetches/sends for table. Add two server-wide settings (in default user profile): max_replicated_fetches_network_bandwidth_for_server and max_replicated_sends_network_bandwidth_for_server which limit maximum speed of replication for all tables. The settings are not followed perfectly accurately. Turned off by default. Fixes #1821. #24573 (alesapin).
Resource constraints and isolation for ODBC and Library bridges. Use separate clickhouse-bridge group and user for bridge processes. Set oom_score_adj so the bridges will be first subjects for OOM killer. Set set maximum RSS to 1 GiB. Closes #23861. #25280 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Add standalone clickhouse-keeper symlink to the main clickhouse binary. Now it's possible to run coordination without the main clickhouse server. #24059 (alesapin).
Use global settings for query to VIEW. Fixed the behavior when queries to VIEW use local settings, that leads to errors if setting on CREATE VIEW and SELECT were different. As for now, VIEW won't use these modified settings, but you can still pass additional settings in SETTINGS section of CREATE VIEW query. Close #20551. #24095 (Vladimir).
On server start, parts with incorrect partition ID would not be ever removed, but always detached. #25070. #25166 (Nikolai Kochetov).
Increase size of background schedule pool to 128 (background_schedule_pool_size setting). It allows avoiding replication queue hung on slow zookeeper connection. #25072 (alesapin).
Add merge tree setting max_parts_to_merge_at_once which limits the number of parts that can be merged in the background at once. Doesn't affect OPTIMIZE FINAL query. Fixes #1820. #24496 (alesapin).
Allow NOT IN operator to be used in partition pruning. #24894 (Amos Bird).
Recognize IPv4 addresses like 127.0.1.1 as local. This is controversial and closes #23504. Michael Filimonov will test this feature. #24316 (alexey-milovidov).
ClickHouse database created with MaterializeMySQL (it is an experimental feature) now contains all column comments from the MySQL database that materialized. #25199 (Storozhuk Kostiantyn).
Add settings (connection_auto_close/connection_max_tries/connection_pool_size) for MySQL storage engine. #24146 (Azat Khuzhin).
Improvement for Distributed tables. Drop replicas from dirname for internal_replication=true (allows INSERT into Distributed with cluster from any number of replicas, before only 15 replicas was supported, everything more will fail with ENAMETOOLONG while creating directory for async blocks). #25513 (Azat Khuzhin).
Added support Interval type for LowCardinality. It is needed for intermediate values of some expressions. Closes #21730. #25410 (Vladimir).
Add == operator on time conditions for sequenceMatch and sequenceCount functions. For eg: sequenceMatch('(?1)(?t==1)(?2)')(time, data = 1, data = 2). #25299 (Christophe Kalenzaga).
Fix topLevelDomain for IDN hosts (i.e. example.рф), before it returns empty string for such hosts. #25103 (Azat Khuzhin).
Detect Linux kernel version at runtime (for worked nested epoll, that is required for async_socket_for_remote/use_hedged_requests, otherwise remote queries may stuck). #25067 (Azat Khuzhin).
For distributed query, when optimize_skip_unused_shards=1, allow to skip shard with condition like (sharding key) IN (one-element-tuple). (Tuples with many elements were supported. Tuple with single element did not work because it is parsed as literal). #24930 (Amos Bird).
Improved log messages of S3 errors, no more double whitespaces in case of empty keys and buckets. #24897 (Vladimir Chebotarev).
Some queries require multi-pass semantic analysis. Try reusing built sets for IN in this case. #24874 (Amos Bird).
Respect max_distributed_connections for insert_distributed_sync (otherwise for huge clusters and sync insert it may run out of max_thread_pool_size). #24754 (Azat Khuzhin).
Avoid hiding errors like Limit for rows or bytes to read exceeded for scalar subqueries. #24545 (nvartolomei).
Make String-to-Int parser stricter so that toInt64('+') will throw. #24475 (Amos Bird).

Handle column name clashes for Join table engine. Closes #20309. #23769 (Vladimir).
Display progress for File table engine in clickhouse-local and on INSERT query in clickhouse-client when data is passed to stdin. Closes #18209. #23656 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Bugfixes and improvements of clickhouse-copier. Allow to copy tables with different (but compatible schemas). Closes #9159. Added test to copy ReplacingMergeTree. Closes #22711. Support TTL on columns and Data Skipping Indices. It simply removes it to create internal Distributed table (underlying table will have TTL and skipping indices). Closes #19384. Allow to copy MATERIALIZED and ALIAS columns. There are some cases in which it could be helpful (e.g. if this column is in PRIMARY KEY). Now it could be allowed by setting allow_to_copy_alias_and_materialized_columns property to true in task configuration. Closes #9177. Closes [#11007] (https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/11007). Closes #9514. Added a property allow_to_drop_target_partitions in task configuration to drop partition in original table before moving helping tables. Closes #20957. Get rid of OPTIMIZE DEDUPLICATE query. This hack was needed, because ALTER TABLE MOVE PARTITION was retried many times and plain MergeTree tables don't have deduplication. Closes #17966. Write progress to ZooKeeper node on path task_path + /status in JSON format. Closes #20955. Support for ReplicatedTables without arguments. Closes #24834 .#23518 (Nikita Mikhaylov).

Fix lost WHERE condition in expression-push-down optimization of query plan (setting query_plan_filter_push_down = 1 by default). Fixes #25368. #25370 (Nikolai Kochetov).
Fix bug which can lead to intersecting parts after merges with TTL: Part all_40_40_0 is covered by all_40_40_1 but should be merged into all_40_41_1. This shouldn't happen often.. #25549 (alesapin).
On ZooKeeper connection loss ReplicatedMergeTree table might wait for background operations to complete before trying to reconnect. It's fixed, now background operations are stopped forcefully. #25306 (tavplubix).

Fix limit/offset settings for distributed queries (ignore on the remote nodes). #24940 (Azat Khuzhin).
Fixed possible error 'Cannot read from istream at offset 0' when reading a file from DiskS3 (S3 virtual filesystem is an experimental feature under development that should not be used in production). #24885 (Pavel Kovalenko).
Fix bug when exception Mutation was killed can be thrown to the client on mutation wait when mutation not loaded into memory yet. #24809 (alesapin).
Fixed bug in deserialization of random generator state with might cause some data types such as AggregateFunction(groupArraySample(N), T)) to behave in a non-deterministic way. #24538 (tavplubix).

Fix usage of tuples in CREATE .. AS SELECT queries. #24464 (Anton Popov).
Fix computation of total bytes in Buffer table. In current ClickHouse version total_writes.bytes counter decreases too much during the buffer flush. It leads to counter overflow and totalBytes return something around 17.44 EB some time after the flush. #24450 (DimasKovas).
When user authentication is managed by LDAP. Fixed potential deadlock that can happen during LDAP role (re)mapping, when LDAP group is mapped to a nonexistent local role. #24431 (Denis Glazachev).

Enable compile_expressions setting by default. When this setting enabled, compositions of simple functions and operators will be compiled to native code with LLVM at runtime. #8482 (Maksim Kita, alexey-milovidov). Note: if you feel in trouble, turn this option off.
Update re2 library. Performance of regular expressions matching is improved. Also this PR adds compatibility with gcc-11. #24196 (Raúl Marín).
ORC input format reading by stripe instead of reading entire table into memory by once which is cost memory when file size is huge. #23102 (Chao Ma).
Fusion of aggregate functions sum, count and avg in a query into single aggregate function. The optimization is controlled with the optimize_fuse_sum_count_avg setting. This is implemented with a new aggregate function sumCount. This function returns a tuple of two fields: sum and count. #21337 (hexiaoting).
Update zstd to v1.5.0. The performance of compression is improved for single digits percentage. #24135 (Raúl Marín). Note: you may get messages about "checksum does not match" in replication. These messages are expected due to update of compression algorithm and you can ignore them.
Improved performance of Buffer tables: do not acquire lock for total_bytes/total_rows for Buffer engine. #24066 (Azat Khuzhin).
Preallocate support for hashed/sparse_hashed dictionaries is returned. #23979 (Azat Khuzhin).
Enable async_socket_for_remote by default (lower amount of threads in querying Distributed tables with large fanout). #23683 (Nikolai Kochetov).
Add _partition_value virtual column to MergeTree table family. It can be used to prune partition in a deterministic way. It's needed to implement partition matcher for mutations. #23673 (Amos Bird).
Allow configuring different log levels for different logging channels. Closes #19569. #23857 (filimonov).
Keep default timezone on DateTime operations if it was not provided explicitly. For example, if you add one second to a value of DateTime type without timezone it will remain DateTime without timezone. In previous versions the value of default timezone was placed to the returned data type explicitly so it becomes DateTime('something'). This closes #4854. #23392 (alexey-milovidov).
Allow user to specify empty string instead of database name for MySQL storage. Default database will be used for queries. In previous versions it was working for SELECT queries and not support for INSERT was also added. This closes #19281. This can be useful working with Sphinx or other MySQL-compatible foreign databases. #23319 (alexey-milovidov).
Fixed quantile(s)TDigest. Added special handling of singleton centroids according to tdunning/t-digest 3.2+. Also a bug with over-compression of centroids in implementation of earlier version of the algorithm was fixed. #23314 (Vladimir Chebotarev).
Function now64 now supports optional timezone argument. #24091 (Vasily Nemkov).

Preserve dictionaries until storage shutdown (this will avoid possible external dictionary 'DICT' not found errors at server shutdown during final flush of the Buffer engine). #24068 (Azat Khuzhin).
Flush Buffer tables before shutting down tables (within one database), to avoid discarding blocks due to underlying table had been already detached (and Destination table default.a_data_01870 doesn't exist. Block of data is discarded error in the log). #24067 (Azat Khuzhin).
Now prefer_column_name_to_alias = 1 will also favor column names for group by, having and order by. This fixes #23882. #24022 (Amos Bird).

Measure found rate (the percentage for which the value was found) for dictionaries (see found_rate in system.dictionaries). #23916 (Azat Khuzhin).
Allow to add specific queue settings via table settng rabbitmq_queue_settings_list. (Closes #23737 and #23918). Allow user to control all RabbitMQ setup: if table setting rabbitmq_queue_consume is set to 1 - RabbitMQ table engine will only connect to specified queue and will not perform any RabbitMQ consumer-side setup like declaring exchange, queues, bindings. (Closes #21757). Add proper cleanup when RabbitMQ table is dropped - delete queues, which the table has declared and all bound exchanges - if they were created by the table. #23887 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Add broken_data_files/broken_data_compressed_bytes into system.distribution_queue. Add metric for number of files for asynchronous insertion into Distributed tables that has been marked as broken (BrokenDistributedFilesToInsert). #23885 (Azat Khuzhin).

Respect lock_acquire_timeout_for_background_operations for OPTIMIZE queries. #23623 (Azat Khuzhin).
Possibility to change S3 disk settings in runtime via new SYSTEM RESTART DISK SQL command. #23429 (Pavel Kovalenko).
If user applied a misconfiguration by mistakenly setting max_distributed_connections to value zero, every query to a Distributed table will throw exception with a message containing "logical error". But it's really an expected behaviour, not a logical error, so the exception message was slightly incorrect. It also triggered checks in our CI enviroment that ensures that no logical errors ever happen. Instead we will treat max_distributed_connections misconfigured to zero as the minimum possible value (one). #23348 (Azat Khuzhin).
Add settings external_storage_max_read_rows and external_storage_max_read_rows for MySQL table engine, dictionary source and MaterializeMySQL minor data fetches. #22697 (TCeason).
MaterializeMySQL (experimental feature): Previously, MySQL 5.7.9 was not supported due to SQL incompatibility. Now leave MySQL parameter verification to the MaterializeMySQL. #23413 (TCeason).

Fix a rare bug that could lead to a partially initialized table that can serve write requests (insert/alter/so on). Now such tables will be in readonly mode. #24122 (alesapin).
Fix an issue: EXPLAIN PIPELINE with SELECT xxx FINAL showed a wrong pipeline. (hexiaoting).
Fixed using const DateTime value vs DateTime64 column in WHERE. #24100 (Vasily Nemkov).
Some ALTER PARTITION queries might cause Part A intersects previous part B and Unexpected merged part C intersecting drop range D errors in replication queue. It's fixed. Fixes #23296. #23997 (tavplubix).
Fix SIGSEGV for external GROUP BY and overflow row (i.e. queries like SELECT FROM GROUP BY WITH TOTALS SETTINGS max_bytes_before_external_group_by>0, max_rows_to_group_by>0, group_by_overflow_mode='any', totals_mode='before_having'). #23962 (Azat Khuzhin).
Fix keys metrics accounting for CACHE dictionary with duplicates in the source (leads to DictCacheKeysRequestedMiss overflows). #23929 (Azat Khuzhin).
Fix distributed_group_by_no_merge = 2 with GROUP BY and aggregate function wrapped into regular function (had been broken in #23546). Throw exception in case of someone trying to use distributed_group_by_no_merge = 2 with window functions. Disable optimize_distributed_group_by_sharding_key for queries with window functions. #23906 (Azat Khuzhin).
A fix for s3 table function: better handling of HTTP errors. Response bodies of HTTP errors were being ignored earlier. #23844 (Vladimir Chebotarev).
A fix for s3 table function: better handling of URI's. Fixed an incompatibility with URLs containing + symbol, data with such keys could not be read previously. #23822 (Vladimir Chebotarev).
Fix error Can't initialize pipeline with empty pipe for queries with GLOBAL IN/JOIN and use_hedged_requests. Fixes #23431. #23805 (Nikolai Kochetov).
Fix CLEAR COLUMN does not work when it is referenced by materialized view. Close #23764. #23781 (flynn).
Fix heap use after free when reading from HDFS if Values format is used. #23761 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Avoid possible "Cannot schedule a task" error (in case some exception had been occurred) on INSERT into Distributed. #23744 (Azat Khuzhin).
Fixed a bug in recovery of staled ReplicatedMergeTree replica. Some metadata updates could be ignored by staled replica if ALTER query was executed during downtime of the replica. #23742 (tavplubix).
Fix possible Block structure mismatch error for queries with UNION which could possibly happen after filter-pushdown optimization. Fixes #23029. #23359 (Nikolai Kochetov).

Add a missing check when updating nested subcolumns, close issue: #22353. #22503 (hexiaoting).
Support building on Illumos. #24144. Adds support for building on Solaris-derived operating systems. #23746 (bnaecker).
Add more benchmarks for hash tables, including the Swiss Table from Google (that appeared to be slower than ClickHouse hash map in our specific usage scenario). #24111 (Maksim Kita).
Always enable asynchronous-unwind-tables explicitly. It may fix query profiler on AArch64. #23602 (alexey-milovidov).
Avoid possible build dependency on locale and filesystem order. This allows reproducible builds. #23600 (alexey-milovidov).
Remove a source of nondeterminism from build. Now builds at different point of time will produce byte-identical binaries. Partially addressed #22113. #23559 (alexey-milovidov).
Add simple tool for benchmarking (Zoo)Keeper. #23038 (alesapin).
Change comparison of integers and floating point numbers when integer is not exactly representable in the floating point data type. In new version comparison will return false as the rounding error will occur. Example: 9223372036854775808.0 != 9223372036854775808, because the number 9223372036854775808 is not representable as floating point number exactly (and 9223372036854775808.0 is rounded to 9223372036854776000.0). But in previous version the comparison will return as the numbers are equal, because if the floating point number 9223372036854776000.0 get converted back to UInt64, it will yield 9223372036854775808. For the reference, the Python programming language also treats these numbers as equal. But this behaviour was dependend on CPU model (different results on AMD64 and AArch64 for some out-of-range numbers), so we make the comparison more precise. It will treat int and float numbers equal only if int is represented in floating point type exactly. #22595 (alexey-milovidov).
Remove support for argMin and argMax for single Tuple argument. The code was not memory-safe. The feature was added by mistake and it is confusing for people. These functions can be reintroduced under different names later. This fixes #22384 and reverts #17359. #23393 (alexey-milovidov).
Added functions dictGetChildren(dictionary, key), dictGetDescendants(dictionary, key, level). Function dictGetChildren return all children as an array if indexes. It is a inverse transformation for dictGetHierarchy. Function dictGetDescendants return all descendants as if dictGetChildren was applied level times recursively. Zero level value is equivalent to infinity. Improved performance of dictGetHierarchy, dictIsIn functions. Closes #14656. #22096 (Maksim Kita).
Added function dictGetOrNull. It works like dictGet, but return Null in case key was not found in dictionary. Closes #22375. #22413 (Maksim Kita).
Added a table function s3Cluster, which allows to process files from s3 in parallel on every node of a specified cluster. #22012 (Nikita Mikhaylov).
Added support for replicas and shards in MySQL/PostgreSQL table engine / table function. You can write SELECT * FROM mysql('host{1,2}-{1|2}', ...). Closes #20969. #22217 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Added ALTER TABLE ... FETCH PART ... query. It's similar to FETCH PARTITION, but fetches only one part. #22706 (turbo jason).
Added a setting max_distributed_depth that limits the depth of recursive queries to Distributed tables. Closes #20229. #21942 (flynn).
Improved performance of reading from ArrowStream input format for sources other then local file (e.g. URL). #22673 (nvartolomei).
Disabled compression by default when interacting with localhost (with clickhouse-client or server to server with distributed queries) via native protocol. It may improve performance of some import/export operations. This closes #22234. #22237 (alexey-milovidov).
Exclude values that does not belong to the shard from right part of IN section for distributed queries (under optimize_skip_unused_shards_rewrite_in, enabled by default, since it still requires optimize_skip_unused_shards). #21511 (Azat Khuzhin).
Improved performance of reading a subset of columns with File-like table engine and column-oriented format like Parquet, Arrow or ORC. This closes #issue:20129. #21302 (keenwolf).
Allow to move more conditions to PREWHERE as it was before version 21.1 (adjustment of internal heuristics). Insufficient number of moved condtions could lead to worse performance. #23397 (Anton Popov).
Improved performance of ODBC connections and fixed all the outstanding issues from the backlog. Using nanodbc library instead of Poco::ODBC. Closes #9678. Add support for DateTime64 and Decimal* for ODBC table engine. Closes #21961. Fixed issue with cyrillic text being truncated. Closes #16246. Added connection pools for odbc bridge. #21972 (Kseniia Sumarokova).
Increase max_uri_size (the maximum size of URL in HTTP interface) to 1 MiB by default. This closes #21197. #22997 (alexey-milovidov).
Set background_fetches_pool_size to 8 that is better for production usage with frequent small insertions or slow ZooKeeper cluster. #22945 (alexey-milovidov).
Add new setting non_replicated_deduplication_window for non-replicated MergeTree inserts deduplication. #22514 (alesapin).
Update paths to the CatBoost model configs in config reloading. #22434 (Kruglov Pavel).
Added Decimal256 type support in dictionaries. Decimal256 is experimental feature. Closes #20979. #22960 (Maksim Kita).
Enabled async_socket_for_remote by default (using less amount of OS threads for distributed queries). #23683 (Nikolai Kochetov).
Fixed quantile(s)TDigest. Added special handling of singleton centroids according to tdunning/t-digest 3.2+. Also a bug with over-compression of centroids in implementation of earlier version of the algorithm was fixed. #23314 (Vladimir Chebotarev).
Make function name unhex case insensitive for compatibility with MySQL. #23229 (alexey-milovidov).

Fixed pushdown of HAVING in case, when filter column is used in aggregation. #22763 (Anton Popov).
Fixed wait for mutations on several replicas for ReplicatedMergeTree table engines. Previously, mutation/alter query may finish before mutation actually executed on other replicas. #22669 (alesapin).
Fixed exception for Log with nested types without columns in the SELECT clause. #22654 (Azat Khuzhin).
Map data type (experimental feature): fixed an incorrect formatting of function map in distributed queries. #22588 (foolchi).
Fixed deserialization of empty string without newline at end of TSV format. This closes #20244. Possible workaround without version update: set input_format_null_as_default to zero. It was zero in old versions. #22527 (alexey-milovidov).
Fixed wrong cast of a column of LowCardinality type in Merge Join algorithm. Close #22386, close #22388. #22510 (Vladimir).
Buffer overflow (on read) was possible in tokenbf_v1 full text index. The excessive bytes are not used but the read operation may lead to crash in rare cases. This closes #19233. #22421 (alexey-milovidov).
Fixed a bug, which leads to underaggregation of data in case of enabled optimize_aggregation_in_order and many parts in table. Slightly improve performance of aggregation with enabled optimize_aggregation_in_order. #21889 (Anton Popov).
Check if table function view is used as a column. This complements #20350. #21465 (Amos Bird).
Fix "unknown column" error for tables with Merge engine in queris with JOIN and aggregation. Closes #18368, close #22226. #21370 (Vladimir).

Fixed very rare bug when quorum insert with quorum_parallel=1 is not really "quorum" because of deduplication. #18215 (filimonov - reported, alesapin - fixed).
Added function alignment for possibly better performance. #21431 (Danila Kutenin).
Adjust some tests to output identical results on amd64 and aarch64 (qemu). The result was depending on implementation specific CPU behaviour. #22590 (alexey-milovidov).
The toStartOfIntervalFunction will align hour intervals to the midnight (in previous versions they were aligned to the start of unix epoch). For example, toStartOfInterval(x, INTERVAL 11 HOUR) will split every day into three intervals: 00:00:00..10:59:59, 11:00:00..21:59:59 and 22:00:00..23:59:59. This behaviour is more suited for practical needs. This closes #9510. #22060 (alexey-milovidov).
Age and Precision in graphite rollup configs should increase from retention to retention. Now it's checked and the wrong config raises an exception. #21496 (Mikhail f. Shiryaev).
Fix cutToFirstSignificantSubdomainCustom()/firstSignificantSubdomainCustom() returning wrong result for 3+ level domains present in custom top-level domain list. For input domains matching these custom top-level domains, the third-level domain was considered to be the first significant one. This is now fixed. This change may introduce incompatibility if the function is used in e.g. the sharding key. #21946 (Azat Khuzhin).
Column keys in table system.dictionaries was replaced to columns key.names and key.types. Columns key.names, key.types, attribute.names, attribute.types from system.dictionaries table does not require dictionary to be loaded. #21884 (Maksim Kita).
Now replicas that are processing the ALTER TABLE ATTACH PART[ITION] command search in their detached/ folders before fetching the data from other replicas. As an implementation detail, a new command ATTACH_PART is introduced in the replicated log. Parts are searched and compared by their checksums. #18978 (Mike Kot). Note:
ATTACH PART[ITION] queries may not work during cluster upgrade.
It's not possible to rollback to older ClickHouse version after executing ALTER ... ATTACH query in new version as the old servers would fail to pass the ATTACH_PART entry in the replicated log.
In this version, empty <remote_url_allow_hosts></remote_url_allow_hosts> will block all access to remote hosts while in previous versions it did nothing. If you want to keep old behaviour and you have empty remote_url_allow_hosts element in configuration file, remove it. #20058 (Vladimir Chebotarev).
Extended range of DateTime64 to support dates from year 1925 to 2283. Improved support of DateTime around zero date (1970-01-01). #9404 (alexey-milovidov, Vasily Nemkov). Not every time and date functions are working for extended range of dates.
Added support of Kerberos authentication for preconfigured users and HTTP requests (GSS-SPNEGO). #14995 (Denis Glazachev).
Add prefer_column_name_to_alias setting to use original column names instead of aliases. it is needed to be more compatible with common databases' aliasing rules. This is for #9715 and #9887. #22044 (Amos Bird).
Added functions dictGetChildren(dictionary, key), dictGetDescendants(dictionary, key, level). Function dictGetChildren return all children as an array if indexes. It is a inverse transformation for dictGetHierarchy. Function dictGetDescendants return all descendants as if dictGetChildren was applied level times recursively. Zero level value is equivalent to infinity. Closes #14656. #22096 (Maksim Kita).
Added table function dictionary. It works the same way as Dictionary engine. Closes #21560. #21910 (Maksim Kita).
Support Nullable type for PolygonDictionary attribute. #21890 (Maksim Kita).
Functions dictGet, dictHas use current database name if it is not specified for dictionaries created with DDL. Closes #21632. #21859 (Maksim Kita).
Added function dictGetOrNull. It works like dictGet, but return Null in case key was not found in dictionary. Closes #22375. #22413 (Maksim Kita).
Added async update in ComplexKeyCache, SSDCache, SSDComplexKeyCache dictionaries. Added support for Nullable type in Cache, ComplexKeyCache, SSDCache, SSDComplexKeyCache dictionaries. Added support for multiple attributes fetch with dictGet, dictGetOrDefault functions. Fixes #21517. #20595 (Maksim Kita).
Add function timezoneOf that returns the timezone name of DateTime or DateTime64 data types. This does not close #9959. Fix inconsistencies in function names: add aliases timezone and timeZone as well as toTimezone and toTimeZone and timezoneOf and timeZoneOf. #22001 (alexey-milovidov).
Add new optional clause GRANTEES for CREATE/ALTER USER commands. It specifies users or roles which are allowed to receive grants from this user on condition this user has also all required access granted with grant option. By default GRANTEES ANY is used which means a user with grant option can grant to anyone. Syntax: CREATE USER ... GRANTEES {user | role | ANY | NONE} [,...] [EXCEPT {user | role} [,...]]. #21641 (Vitaly Baranov).
Add new column slowdowns_count to system.clusters. When using hedged requests, it shows how many times we switched to another replica because this replica was responding slowly. Also show actual value of errors_count in system.clusters. #21480 (Kruglov Pavel).
Add _partition_id virtual column for MergeTree* engines. Allow to prune partitions by _partition_id. Add partitionID() function to calculate partition id string. #21401 (Amos Bird).
Add function isIPAddressInRange to test if an IPv4 or IPv6 address is contained in a given CIDR network prefix. #21329 (PHO).
Added new SQL command ALTER TABLE 'table_name' UNFREEZE [PARTITION 'part_expr'] WITH NAME 'backup_name'. This command is needed to properly remove 'freezed' partitions from all disks. #21142 (Pavel Kovalenko).
Supports implicit key type conversion for JOIN. #19885 (Vladimir).
Support RANGE OFFSET frame (for window functions) for floating point types. Implement lagInFrame/leadInFrame window functions, which are analogous to lag/lead, but respect the window frame. They are identical when the frame is between unbounded preceding and unbounded following. This closes #5485. #21895 (Alexander Kuzmenkov).
Zero-copy replication for ReplicatedMergeTree over S3 storage. #16240 (ianton-ru).
Added possibility to migrate existing S3 disk to the schema with backup-restore capabilities. #22070 (Pavel Kovalenko).
Supported parallel formatting in clickhouse-local and everywhere else. #21630 (Nikita Mikhaylov).
Support parallel parsing for CSVWithNames and TSVWithNames formats. This closes #21085. #21149 (Nikita Mikhaylov).
Enable read with mmap IO for file ranges from 64 MiB (the settings min_bytes_to_use_mmap_io). It may lead to moderate performance improvement. #22326 (alexey-milovidov).
Add cache for files read with min_bytes_to_use_mmap_io setting. It makes significant (2x and more) performance improvement when the value of the setting is small by avoiding frequent mmap/munmap calls and the consequent page faults. Note that mmap IO has major drawbacks that makes it less reliable in production (e.g. hung or SIGBUS on faulty disks; less controllable memory usage). Nevertheless it is good in benchmarks. #22206 (alexey-milovidov).
Avoid unnecessary data copy when using codec NONE. Please note that codec NONE is mostly useless - it's recommended to always use compression (LZ4 is by default). Despite the common belief, disabling compression may not improve performance (the opposite effect is possible). The NONE codec is useful in some cases: - when data is uncompressable; - for synthetic benchmarks. #22145 (alexey-milovidov).
Faster GROUP BY with small max_rows_to_group_by and group_by_overflow_mode='any'. #21856 (Nikolai Kochetov).
Optimize performance of queries like SELECT ... FINAL ... WHERE. Now in queries with FINAL it's allowed to move to PREWHERE columns, which are in sorting key. #21830 (foolchi).
Improved performance by replacing memcpy to another implementation. This closes #18583. #21520 (alexey-milovidov).
Improve performance of aggregation in order of sorting key (with enabled setting optimize_aggregation_in_order). #19401 (Anton Popov).
Introduce a new merge tree setting min_bytes_to_rebalance_partition_over_jbod which allows assigning new parts to different disks of a JBOD volume in a balanced way. #16481 (Amos Bird).
Added Grant, Revoke and System values of query_kind column for corresponding queries in system.query_log. #21102 (Vasily Nemkov).
Allow customizing timeouts for HTTP connections used for replication independently from other HTTP timeouts. #20088 (nvartolomei).
Better exception message in client in case of exception while server is writing blocks. In previous versions client may get misleading message like Data compressed with different methods. #22427 (alexey-milovidov).
Fix error Directory tmp_fetch_XXX already exists which could happen after failed fetch part. Delete temporary fetch directory if it already exists. Fixes #14197. #22411 (nvartolomei).
Fix MSan report for function range with UInt256 argument (support for large integers is experimental). This closes #22157. #22387 (alexey-milovidov).
Add current_database column to system.processes table. It contains the current database of the query. #22365 (Alexander Kuzmenkov).
Add case-insensitive history search/navigation and subword movement features to clickhouse-client. #22105 (Amos Bird).
If tuple of NULLs, e.g. (NULL, NULL) is on the left hand side of IN operator with tuples of non-NULLs on the right hand side, e.g. SELECT (NULL, NULL) IN ((0, 0), (3, 1)) return 0 instead of throwing an exception about incompatible types. The expression may also appear due to optimization of something like SELECT (NULL, NULL) = (8, 0) OR (NULL, NULL) = (3, 2) OR (NULL, NULL) = (0, 0) OR (NULL, NULL) = (3, 1). This closes #22017. #22063 (alexey-milovidov).
Added case insensitive aliases for CONNECTION_ID() and VERSION() functions. This fixes #22028. #22042 (Eugene Klimov).
Add option strict_increase to windowFunnel function to calculate each event once (resolve #21835). #22025 (Vladimir).
If partition key of a MergeTree table does not include Date or DateTime columns but includes exactly one DateTime64 column, expose its values in the min_time and max_time columns in system.parts and system.parts_columns tables. Add min_time and max_time columns to system.parts_columns table (these was inconsistency to the system.parts table). This closes #18244. #22011 (alexey-milovidov).
Supported replication_alter_partitions_sync=1 setting in clickhouse-copier for moving partitions from helping table to destination. Decreased default timeouts. Fixes #21911. #21912 (turbo jason).
Show path to data directory of EmbeddedRocksDB tables in system tables. #21903 (tavplubix).
Add profile event HedgedRequestsChangeReplica, change read data timeout from sec to ms. #21886 (Kruglov Pavel).
DiskS3 (experimental feature under development). Fixed bug with the impossibility to move directory if the destination is not empty and cache disk is used. #21837 (Pavel Kovalenko).
Update clusters only if their configurations were updated. #21685 (Kruglov Pavel).
Propagate query and session settings for distributed DDL queries. Set distributed_ddl_entry_format_version to 2 to enable this. Added distributed_ddl_output_mode setting. Supported modes: none, throw (default), null_status_on_timeout and never_throw. Miscellaneous fixes and improvements for Replicated database engine. #21535 (tavplubix).
If PODArray was instantiated with element size that is neither a fraction or a multiple of 16, buffer overflow was possible. No bugs in current releases exist. #21533 (alexey-milovidov).
Add last_error_time/last_error_message/last_error_stacktrace/remote columns for system.errors. #21529 (Azat Khuzhin).
Add setting optimize_skip_unused_shards_limit to limit the number of sharding key values for optimize_skip_unused_shards. #21512 (Azat Khuzhin).
Improve clickhouse-format to not throw exception when there are extra spaces or comment after the last query, and throw exception early with readable message when format ASTInsertQuery with data . #21311 (flynn).
Improve support of integer keys in data type Map. #21157 (Anton Popov).
MaterializeMySQL: attempt to reconnect to MySQL if the connection is lost. #20961 (Håvard Kvålen).
Support more cases to rewrite CROSS JOIN to INNER JOIN. #20392 (Vladimir).
Do not create empty parts on INSERT when optimize_on_insert setting enabled. Fixes #20304. #20387 (Kruglov Pavel).
MaterializeMySQL: add minmax skipping index for _version column. #20382 (Stig Bakken).
Add option --backslash for clickhouse-format, which can add a backslash at the end of each line of the formatted query. #21494 (flynn).
Now clickhouse will not throw LOGICAL_ERROR exception when we try to mutate the already covered part. Fixes #22013. #22291 (alesapin).
Remove socket from epoll before cancelling packet receiver in HedgedConnections to prevent possible race. Fixes #22161. #22443 (Kruglov Pavel).
Add (missing) memory accounting in parallel parsing routines. In previous versions OOM was possible when the resultset contains very large blocks of data. This closes #22008. #22425 (alexey-milovidov).
Fix exception which may happen when SELECT has constant WHERE condition and source table has columns which names are digits. #22270 (LiuNeng).

Disable async_socket_for_remote/use_hedged_requests for buggy Linux kernels. #22109 (Azat Khuzhin).
Docker entrypoint: avoid chown of . in case when LOG_PATH is empty. Closes #22100. #22102 (filimonov).
The function decrypt was lacking a check for the minimal size of data encrypted in AEAD mode. This closes #21897. #22064 (alexey-milovidov).
In rare case, merge for CollapsingMergeTree may create granule with index_granularity + 1 rows. Because of this, internal check, added in #18928 (affects 21.2 and 21.3), may fail with error Incomplete granules are not allowed while blocks are granules size. This error did not allow parts to merge. #21976 (Nikolai Kochetov).
Reverted #15454 that may cause significant increase in memory usage while loading external dictionaries of hashed type. This closes #21935. #21948 (Maksim Kita).

Server now start accepting connections only after DDLWorker and dictionaries initialization. #21676 (Azat Khuzhin).
Add type conversion for keys of tables of type Join (previously led to SIGSEGV). #21646 (Azat Khuzhin).
Fix distributed requests cancellation (for example simple select from multiple shards with limit, i.e. select * from remote('127.{2,3}', system.numbers) limit 100) with async_socket_for_remote=1. #21643 (Azat Khuzhin).
Remove unknown columns from joined table in WHERE for queries to external database engines (MySQL, PostgreSQL). close #14614, close #19288 (dup), close #19645 (dup). #21640 (Vladimir).
std::terminate was called if there is an error writing data into s3. #21624 (Vladimir).
Fix possible error Cannot find column when optimize_skip_unused_shards is enabled and zero shards are used. #21579 (Azat Khuzhin).
In case if query has constant WHERE condition, and setting optimize_skip_unused_shards enabled, all shards may be skipped and query could return incorrect empty result. #21550 (Amos Bird).
Fix table function clusterAllReplicas returns wrong _shard_num. close #21481. #21498 (flynn).
Multiple preparations for PowerPC builds: Enable the bundled openldap on ppc64le. #22487 (Kfir Itzhak). Enable compiling on ppc64le with Clang. #22476 (Kfir Itzhak). Fix compiling boost on ppc64le. #22474 (Kfir Itzhak). Fix CMake error about internal CMake variable CMAKE_ASM_COMPILE_OBJECT not set on ppc64le. #22469 (Kfir Itzhak). Fix Fedora/RHEL/CentOS not finding libclang_rt.builtins on ppc64le. #22458 (Kfir Itzhak). Enable building with jemalloc on ppc64le. #22447 (Kfir Itzhak). Fix ClickHouse's config embedding and cctz's timezone embedding on ppc64le. #22445 (Kfir Itzhak). Fixed compiling on ppc64le and use the correct instruction pointer register on ppc64le. #22430 (Kfir Itzhak).
Allow to use clang-tidy with release builds by enabling assertions if it is used. #21914 (alexey-milovidov).
Add llvm-12 binaries name to search in cmake scripts. Implicit constants conversions to mute clang warnings. Updated submodules to build with CMake 3.19. Mute recursion in macro expansion in readpassphrase library. Deprecated -fuse-ld changed to --ld-path for clang. #21597 (Ilya Yatsishin).
Updating docker/test/testflows/runner/dockerd-entrypoint.sh to use Yandex dockerhub-proxy, because Docker Hub has enabled very restrictive rate limits #21551 (vzakaznikov).
Now it's not allowed to create MergeTree tables in old syntax with table TTL because it's just ignored. Attach of old tables is still possible. #20282 (alesapin).
Now all case-insensitive function names will be rewritten to their canonical representations. This is needed for projection query routing (the upcoming feature). #20174 (Amos Bird).
Fix creation of TTL in cases, when its expression is a function and it is the same as ORDER BY key. Now it's allowed to set custom aggregation to primary key columns in TTL with GROUP BY. Backward incompatible: For primary key columns, which are not in GROUP BY and aren't set explicitly now is applied function any instead of max, when TTL is expired.

Add quota type query_selects and query_inserts. #19603 (JackyWoo).
Tables with MergeTree* engine now have two new table-level settings for query concurrency control. Setting max_concurrent_queries limits the number of concurrently executed queries which are related to this table. Setting min_marks_to_honor_max_concurrent_queries tells to apply previous setting only if query reads at least this number of marks. #19544 (Amos Bird).

Please see the documentation for the list of supported features. #20337 (Alexander Kuzmenkov).
Add the ability to backup/restore metadata files for DiskS3. #18377 (Pavel Kovalenko).
Hedged requests for remote queries. When setting use_hedged_requests enabled (off by default), allow to establish many connections with different replicas for query. New connection is enabled in case existent connection(s) with replica(s) were not established within hedged_connection_timeout or no data was received within receive_data_timeout. Query uses the first connection which send non empty progress packet (or data packet, if allow_changing_replica_until_first_data_packet); other connections are cancelled. Queries with max_parallel_replicas > 1 are supported. #19291 (Kruglov Pavel). This allows to significantly reduce tail latencies on very large clusters.

The value of MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT option can now be controlled by "opt_reconnect" parameter in the config section of mysql replica. #19998 (Alexander Kazakov).
If user calls JSONExtract function with Float32 type requested, allow inaccurate conversion to the result type. For example the number 0.1 in JSON is double precision and is not representable in Float32, but the user still wants to get it. Previous versions return 0 for non-Nullable type and NULL for Nullable type to indicate that conversion is imprecise. The logic was 100% correct but it was surprising to users and leading to questions. This closes #13962. #19960 (alexey-milovidov).
Add conversion of block structure for INSERT into Distributed tables if it does not match. #19947 (Azat Khuzhin).
