## ClickHouse release v20.3

### ClickHouse release v20.3.4.10, 2020-03-20

#### Bug Fix
* This release also contains all bug fixes from 20.1.8.41
* Fix missing `rows_before_limit_at_least` for queries over http (with processors pipeline). This fixes [#9730](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9730). [#9757](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9757) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai))


### ClickHouse release v20.3.3.6, 2020-03-17

#### Bug Fix
* This release also contains all bug fixes from 20.1.7.38
* Fix bug in a replication that doesn't allow replication to work if the user has executed mutations on the previous version. This fixes [#9645](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9645). [#9652](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9652) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)). It makes version 20.3 backward compatible again.
* Add setting `use_compact_format_in_distributed_parts_names` which allows to write files for `INSERT` queries into `Distributed` table with more compact format. This fixes [#9647](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9647). [#9653](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9653) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)). It makes version 20.3 backward compatible again.

### ClickHouse release v20.3.2.1, 2020-03-12

#### Backward Incompatible Change

* Fixed the issue `file name too long` when sending data for `Distributed` tables for a large number of replicas. Fixed the issue that replica credentials were exposed in the server log. The format of directory name on disk was changed to `[shard{shard_index}[_replica{replica_index}]]`. [#8911](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8911) ([Mikhail Korotov](https://github.com/millb)) After you upgrade to the new version, you will not be able to downgrade without manual intervention, because old server version does not recognize the new directory format. If you want to downgrade, you have to manually rename the corresponding directories to the old format. This change is relevant only if you have used asynchronous `INSERT`s to `Distributed` tables. In the version 20.3.3 we will introduce a setting that will allow you to enable the new format gradually.
* Changed the format of replication log entries for mutation commands. You have to wait for old mutations to process before installing the new version.
* Implement simple memory profiler that dumps stacktraces to `system.trace_log` every N bytes over soft allocation limit [#8765](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8765) ([Ivan](https://github.com/abyss7)) [#9472](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9472) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)) The column of `system.trace_log` was renamed from `timer_type` to `trace_type`. This will require changes in third-party performance analysis and flamegraph processing tools.
* Use OS thread id everywhere instead of internal thread number. This fixes [#7477](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/7477) Old `clickhouse-client` cannot receive logs that are send from the server when the setting `send_logs_level` is enabled, because the names and types of the structured log messages were changed. On the other hand, different server versions can send logs with different types to each other. When you don't use the `send_logs_level` setting, you should not care. [#8954](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8954) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Remove `indexHint` function [#9542](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9542) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Remove `findClusterIndex`, `findClusterValue` functions. This fixes [#8641](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/8641). If you were using these functions, send an email to `clickhouse-feedback@yandex-team.com` [#9543](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9543) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Now it's not allowed to create columns or add columns with `SELECT` subquery as default expression. [#9481](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9481) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin))
* Require aliases for subqueries in JOIN. [#9274](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9274) ([Artem Zuikov](https://github.com/4ertus2))
* Improved `ALTER MODIFY/ADD` queries logic. Now you cannot `ADD` column without type, `MODIFY` default expression doesn't change type of column and `MODIFY` type doesn't loose default expression value. Fixes [#8669](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/8669). [#9227](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9227) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin))
* Require server to be restarted to apply the changes in logging configuration. This is a temporary workaround to avoid the bug where the server logs to a deleted log file (see [#8696](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/8696)). [#8707](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8707) ([Alexander Kuzmenkov](https://github.com/akuzm))
* The setting `experimental_use_processors` is enabled by default. This setting enables usage of the new query pipeline. This is internal refactoring and we expect no visible changes. If you will see any issues, set it to back zero. [#8768](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8768) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))

#### New Feature
* Add `Avro` and `AvroConfluent` input/output formats [#8571](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8571) ([Andrew Onyshchuk](https://github.com/oandrew)) [#8957](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8957) ([Andrew Onyshchuk](https://github.com/oandrew)) [#8717](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8717) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Multi-threaded and non-blocking updates of expired keys in `cache` dictionaries (with optional permission to read old ones). [#8303](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8303) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov))
* Add query `ALTER ... MATERIALIZE TTL`. It runs mutation that forces to remove expired data by TTL and recalculates meta-information about TTL in all parts. [#8775](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8775) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ))
* Switch from HashJoin to MergeJoin (on disk) if needed [#9082](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9082) ([Artem Zuikov](https://github.com/4ertus2))

* Added function `bitCount`. This fixes [#8702](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/8702). [#8708](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8708) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)) [#8749](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8749) ([ikopylov](https://github.com/ikopylov))
* Add `generateRandom` table function to generate random rows with given schema. Allows to populate arbitrary test table with data. [#8994](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8994) ([Ilya Yatsishin](https://github.com/qoega))
* `JSONEachRowFormat`: support special case when objects enclosed in top-level array. [#8860](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8860) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar))
* Now it's possible to create a column with `DEFAULT` expression which depends on a column with default `ALIAS` expression. [#9489](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9489) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin))
* Allow to specify `--limit` more than the source data size in `clickhouse-obfuscator`. The data will repeat itself with different random seed. [#9155](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9155) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Added `groupArraySample` function (similar to `groupArray`) with reservior sampling algorithm. [#8286](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8286) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird))
* Now you can monitor the size of update queue in `cache`/`complex_key_cache` dictionaries via system metrics. [#9413](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9413) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov))
* Allow to use CRLF as a line separator in CSV output format with setting `output_format_csv_crlf_end_of_line` is set to 1 [#8934](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8934) [#8935](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8935) [#8963](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8963) ([Mikhail Korotov](https://github.com/millb))
* Implement more functions of the [H3](https://github.com/uber/h3) API: `h3GetBaseCell`, `h3HexAreaM2`, `h3IndexesAreNeighbors`, `h3ToChildren`, `h3ToString` and `stringToH3` [#8938](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8938) ([Nico Mandery](https://github.com/nmandery))
* New setting introduced: `max_parser_depth` to control maximum stack size and allow large complex queries. This fixes [#6681](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/6681) and [#7668](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/7668). [#8647](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8647) ([Maxim Smirnov](https://github.com/qMBQx8GH))
* Add a setting `force_optimize_skip_unused_shards` setting to throw if skipping of unused shards is not possible [#8805](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8805) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat))
* Allow to configure multiple disks/volumes for storing data for send in `Distributed` engine [#8756](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8756) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat))
* Support storage policy (`<tmp_policy>`) for storing temporary data. [#8750](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8750) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat))
* Added `X-ClickHouse-Exception-Code` HTTP header that is set if exception was thrown before sending data. This implements [#4971](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/4971). [#8786](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8786) ([Mikhail Korotov](https://github.com/millb))
* Added function `ifNotFinite`. It is just a syntactic sugar: `ifNotFinite(x, y) = isFinite(x) ? x : y`. [#8710](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8710) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Added `last_successful_update_time` column in `system.dictionaries` table [#9394](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9394) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov))

* Add function `moduloOrZero` [#9358](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9358) ([hcz](https://github.com/hczhcz))
* Added system tables `system.zeros` and `system.zeros_mt` as well as tale functions `zeros()` and `zeros_mt()`. Tables (and table functions) contain single column with name `zero` and type `UInt8`. This column contains zeros. It is needed for test purposes as the fastest method to generate many rows. This fixes [#6604](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/6604) [#9593](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9593) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai))

#### Experimental Feature
* Add new compact format of parts in `MergeTree`-family tables in which all columns are stored in one file. It helps to increase performance of small and frequent inserts. The old format (one file per column) is now called wide. Data storing format is controlled by settings `min_bytes_for_wide_part` and `min_rows_for_wide_part`. [#8290](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8290) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ))
* Support for S3 storage for `Log`, `TinyLog` and `StripeLog` tables. [#8862](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8862) ([Pavel Kovalenko](https://github.com/Jokser))

#### Bug Fix

* Fixed the issue when "Too many open files" error may happen if there are too many files matching glob pattern in `File` table or `file` table function. Now files are opened lazily. This fixes [#8857](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/8857) [#8861](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8861) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* DROP TEMPORARY TABLE now drops only temporary table. [#8907](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8907) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar))
* Remove outdated partition when we shutdown the server or DETACH/ATTACH a table. [#8602](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8602) ([Guillaume Tassery](https://github.com/YiuRULE))
* For how the default disk calculates the free space from `data` subdirectory. Fixed the issue when the amount of free space is not calculated correctly if the `data` directory is mounted to a separate device (rare case). This fixes [#7441](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/7441) [#9257](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9257) ([Mikhail Korotov](https://github.com/millb))

* Added range check to function `h3EdgeLengthM`. Without this check, buffer overflow is possible. [#8945](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8945) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Fixed up a bug in batched calculations of ternary logical OPs on multiple arguments (more than 10). [#8718](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8718) ([Alexander Kazakov](https://github.com/Akazz))
* Fix error of PREWHERE optimization, which could lead to segfaults or `Inconsistent number of columns got from MergeTreeRangeReader` exception. [#9024](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9024) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ))
* Fix unexpected `Timeout exceeded while reading from socket` exception, which randomly happens on secure connection before timeout actually exceeded and when query profiler is enabled. Also add `connect_timeout_with_failover_secure_ms` settings (default 100ms), which is similar to `connect_timeout_with_failover_ms`, but is used for secure connections (because SSL handshake is slower, than ordinary TCP connection) [#9026](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9026) ([tavplubix](https://github.com/tavplubix))
* Fix bug with mutations finalization, when mutation may hang in state with `parts_to_do=0` and `is_done=0`. [#9022](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9022) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin))
* Use new ANY JOIN logic with `partial_merge_join` setting. It's possible to make `ANY|ALL|SEMI LEFT` and `ALL INNER` joins with `partial_merge_join=1` now. [#8932](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8932) ([Artem Zuikov](https://github.com/4ertus2))
* Shard now clamps the settings got from the initiator to the shard's constaints instead of throwing an exception. This fix allows to send queries to a shard with another constraints. [#9447](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9447) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar))
* Fixed memory management problem in `MergeTreeReadPool`. [#8791](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8791) ([Vladimir Chebotarev](https://github.com/excitoon))

* Fix bug that timestamp in `LiveViewBlockInputStream` will not updated. `LIVE VIEW` is an experimental feature. [#8644](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8644) ([vxider](https://github.com/Vxider)) [#8625](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8625) ([vxider](https://github.com/Vxider))
* Fixed `ALTER MODIFY TTL` wrong behavior which did not allow to delete old TTL expressions. [#8422](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8422) ([Vladimir Chebotarev](https://github.com/excitoon))
* Fixed UBSan report in MergeTreeIndexSet. This fixes [#9250](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9250) [#9365](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9365) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Fixed the behaviour of `match` and `extract` functions when haystack has zero bytes. The behaviour was wrong when haystack was constant. This fixes [#9160](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9160) [#9163](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9163) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)) [#9345](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9345) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))

* Added a check for storage policy in `ATTACH PARTITION FROM`, `REPLACE PARTITION`, `MOVE TO TABLE`. Otherwise it could make data of part inaccessible after restart and prevent ClickHouse to start. [#9383](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9383) ([Vladimir Chebotarev](https://github.com/excitoon))

* Prevent losing data in `Kafka` in rare cases when exception happens after reading suffix but before commit. Fixes [#9378](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9378) [#9507](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9507) ([filimonov](https://github.com/filimonov))
* Fixed exception in `DROP TABLE IF EXISTS` [#8663](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8663) ([Nikita Vasilev](https://github.com/nikvas0))
* Fix crash when a user tries to `ALTER MODIFY SETTING` for old-formated `MergeTree` table engines family. [#9435](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9435) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin))
* Support for UInt64 numbers that don't fit in Int64 in JSON-related functions. Update SIMDJSON to master. This fixes [#9209](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9209) [#9344](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9344) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Fixed execution of inversed predicates when non-strictly monotinic functional index is used. [#9223](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9223) ([Alexander Kazakov](https://github.com/Akazz))
* Don't try to fold `IN` constant in `GROUP BY` [#8868](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8868) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird))
* Fix bug in `ALTER DELETE` mutations which leads to index corruption. This fixes [#9019](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9019) and [#8982](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/8982). Additionally fix extremely rare race conditions in `ReplicatedMergeTree` `ALTER` queries. [#9048](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9048) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin))
* When the setting `compile_expressions` is enabled, you can get `unexpected column` in `LLVMExecutableFunction` when we use `Nullable` type [#8910](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8910) ([Guillaume Tassery](https://github.com/YiuRULE))
* Multiple fixes for `Kafka` engine: 1) fix duplicates that were appearing during consumer group rebalance. 2) Fix rare 'holes' appeared when data were polled from several partitions with one poll and committed partially (now we always process / commit the whole polled block of messages). 3) Fix flushes by block size (before that only flushing by timeout was working properly). 4) better subscription procedure (with assignment feedback). 5) Make tests work faster (with default intervals and timeouts). Due to the fact that data was not flushed by block size before (as it should according to documentation), that PR may lead to some performance degradation with default settings (due to more often & tinier flushes which are less optimal). If you encounter the performance issue after that change - please increase `kafka_max_block_size` in the table to the bigger value ( for example `CREATE TABLE ...Engine=Kafka ... SETTINGS ... kafka_max_block_size=524288`). Fixes [#7259](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/7259) [#8917](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8917) ([filimonov](https://github.com/filimonov))
* Fix `Parameter out of bound` exception in some queries after PREWHERE optimizations. [#8914](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8914) ([Baudouin Giard](https://github.com/bgiard))
* Fixed the case of mixed-constness of arguments of function `arrayZip`. [#8705](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8705) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* When executing `CREATE` query, fold constant expressions in storage engine arguments. Replace empty database name with current database. Fixes [#6508](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/6508), [#3492](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/3492) [#9262](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9262) ([tavplubix](https://github.com/tavplubix))
* Now it's not possible to create or add columns with simple cyclic aliases like `a DEFAULT b, b DEFAULT a`. [#9603](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9603) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin))
* Fixed a bug with double move which may corrupt original part. This is relevant if you use `ALTER TABLE MOVE` [#8680](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8680) ([Vladimir Chebotarev](https://github.com/excitoon))
* Allow `interval` identifier to correctly parse without backticks. Fixed issue when a query cannot be executed even if the `interval` identifier is enclosed in backticks or double quotes. This fixes [#9124](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9124). [#9142](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9142) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Fixed fuzz test and incorrect behaviour of `bitTestAll`/`bitTestAny` functions. [#9143](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9143) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Fix possible crash/wrong number of rows in `LIMIT n WITH TIES` when there are a lot of rows equal to n'th row. [#9464](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9464) ([tavplubix](https://github.com/tavplubix))
* Fix mutations with parts written with enabled `insert_quorum`. [#9463](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9463) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin))
* Fix data race at destruction of `Poco::HTTPServer`. It could happen when server is started and immediately shut down. [#9468](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9468) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ))
* Fix bug in which a misleading error message was shown when running `SHOW CREATE TABLE a_table_that_does_not_exist`. [#8899](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8899) ([achulkov2](https://github.com/achulkov2))
* Fixed `Parameters are out of bound` exception in some rare cases when we have a constant in the `SELECT` clause when we have an `ORDER BY` and a `LIMIT` clause. [#8892](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8892) ([Guillaume Tassery](https://github.com/YiuRULE))

* During server startup do not access table, which `LIVE VIEW` depends on, so server will be able to start. Also remove `LIVE VIEW` dependencies when detaching `LIVE VIEW`. `LIVE VIEW` is an experimental feature. [#8824](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8824) ([tavplubix](https://github.com/tavplubix))
* Fix possible segfault in `MergeTreeRangeReader`, while executing `PREWHERE`. [#9106](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9106) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ))
* Fix possible mismatched checksums with column TTLs. [#9451](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9451) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ))
* Fixed a bug when parts were not being moved in background by TTL rules in case when there is only one volume. [#8672](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8672) ([Vladimir Chebotarev](https://github.com/excitoon))
* Fixed the issue `Method createColumn() is not implemented for data type Set`. This fixes [#7799](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/7799). [#8674](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8674) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))

#### Improvement
* Implement `ALTER MODIFY/DROP` queries on top of mutations for `ReplicatedMergeTree*` engines family. Now `ALTERS` blocks only at the metadata update stage, and don't block after that. [#8701](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8701) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin))
* Add ability to rewrite CROSS to INNER JOINs with `WHERE` section containing unqialified names. [#9512](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9512) ([Artem Zuikov](https://github.com/4ertus2))
* Make `SHOW TABLES` and `SHOW DATABASES` queries support the `WHERE` expressions and `FROM`/`IN` [#9076](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9076) ([sundyli](https://github.com/sundy-li))
* Added a setting `deduplicate_blocks_in_dependent_materialized_views`. [#9070](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9070) ([urykhy](https://github.com/urykhy))
* After recent changes MySQL client started to print binary strings in hex thereby making them not readable ([#9032](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9032)). The workaround in ClickHouse is to mark string columns as UTF-8, which is not always, but usually the case. [#9079](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9079) ([Yuriy Baranov](https://github.com/yurriy))
* Add support of String and FixedString keys for `sumMap` [#8903](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8903) ([Baudouin Giard](https://github.com/bgiard))
* Support string keys in SummingMergeTree maps [#8933](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8933) ([Baudouin Giard](https://github.com/bgiard))

* The table `system.table_engines` now provides information about feature support (like `supports_ttl` or `supports_sort_order`). [#8830](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8830) ([Max Akhmedov](https://github.com/zlobober))
* Enable `system.metric_log` by default. It will contain rows with values of ProfileEvents, CurrentMetrics collected with "collect_interval_milliseconds" interval (one second by default). The table is very small (usually in order of megabytes) and collecting this data by default is reasonable. [#9225](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9225) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Initialize query profiler for all threads in a group, e.g. it allows to fully profile insert-queries. Fixes [#6964](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/6964) [#8874](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8874) ([Ivan](https://github.com/abyss7))
* Now temporary `LIVE VIEW` is created by `CREATE LIVE VIEW name WITH TIMEOUT [42] ...` instead of `CREATE TEMPORARY LIVE VIEW ...`, because the previous syntax was not consistent with `CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE ...` [#9131](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9131) ([tavplubix](https://github.com/tavplubix))
* Add text_log.level configuration parameter to limit entries that goes to `system.text_log` table [#8809](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8809) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat))

* For external MySQL dictionaries, allow to mutualize MySQL connection pool to "share" them among dictionaries. This option significantly reduces the number of connections to MySQL servers. [#9409](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9409) ([Clément Rodriguez](https://github.com/clemrodriguez))
* Show nearest query execution time for quantiles in `clickhouse-benchmark` output instead of interpolated values. It's better to show values that correspond to the execution time of some queries.

* Allow constant functions and constant arrays to be used on the right side of IN operator. [#8813](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8813) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ))
* If zookeeper exception has happened while fetching data for system.replicas, display it in a separate column. This implements [#9137](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9137) [#9138](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9138) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))

* Prevent out of memory while constructing result of a large JOIN. [#8637](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8637) ([Artem Zuikov](https://github.com/4ertus2))
* Added names of clusters to suggestions in interactive mode in `clickhouse-client`. [#8709](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8709) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Initialize query profiler for all threads in a group, e.g. it allows to fully profile insert-queries [#8820](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8820) ([Ivan](https://github.com/abyss7))
* Added column `exception_code` in `system.query_log` table. [#8770](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8770) ([Mikhail Korotov](https://github.com/millb))
* Enabled MySQL compatibility server on port `9004` in the default server configuration file. Fixed password generation command in the example in configuration. [#8771](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8771) ([Yuriy Baranov](https://github.com/yurriy))
* Prevent abort on shutdown if the filesystem is readonly. This fixes [#9094](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9094) [#9100](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9100) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Better exception message when length is required in HTTP POST query. [#9453](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9453) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Add `_path` and `_file` virtual columns to `HDFS` and `File` engines and `hdfs` and `file` table functions [#8489](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8489) ([Olga Khvostikova](https://github.com/stavrolia))

* Fix progress over native client-server protocol, by send progress after final update (like logs). This may be relevant only to some third-party tools that are using native protocol. [#9495](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9495) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat))
* Add a system metric tracking the number of client connections using MySQL protocol ([#9013](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9013)). [#9015](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9015) ([Eugene Klimov](https://github.com/Slach))
* From now on, HTTP responses will have `X-ClickHouse-Timezone` header set to the same timezone value that `SELECT timezone()` would report. [#9493](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9493) ([Denis Glazachev](https://github.com/traceon))

* A ~3 times faster implementation for ColumnVector::replicate(), via which ColumnConst::convertToFullColumn() is implemented. Also will be useful in tests when materializing constants. [#9293](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9293) ([Alexander Kazakov](https://github.com/Akazz))
* Another minor performance improvement to `ColumnVector::replicate()` (this speeds up the `materialize` function and higher order functions) an even further improvement to [#9293](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/9293) [#9442](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9442) ([Alexander Kazakov](https://github.com/Akazz))

[#9070](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/9070) [(urykhy)](https://github.com/urykhy)

### ClickHouse release v20.1.2.4, 2020-01-22

#### Backward Incompatible Change
* Make the setting `merge_tree_uniform_read_distribution` obsolete. The server still recognizes this setting but it has no effect. [#8308](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8308) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Changed return type of the function `greatCircleDistance` to `Float32` because now the result of calculation is `Float32`. [#7993](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/7993) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Now it's expected that query parameters are represented in "escaped" format. For example, to pass string `a<tab>b` you have to write `a\tb` or `a\<tab>b` and respectively, `a%5Ctb` or `a%5C%09b` in URL. This is needed to add the possibility to pass NULL as `\N`. This fixes [#7488](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/7488). [#8517](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8517) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Enable `use_minimalistic_part_header_in_zookeeper` setting for `ReplicatedMergeTree` by default. This will significantly reduce amount of data stored in ZooKeeper. This setting is supported since version 19.1 and we already use it in production in multiple services without any issues for more than half a year. Disable this setting if you have a chance to downgrade to versions older than 19.1. [#6850](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/6850) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Data skipping indices are production ready and enabled by default. The settings `allow_experimental_data_skipping_indices`, `allow_experimental_cross_to_join_conversion` and `allow_experimental_multiple_joins_emulation` are now obsolete and do nothing. [#7974](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/7974) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Add new `ANY JOIN` logic for `StorageJoin` consistent with `JOIN` operation. To upgrade without changes in behaviour you need add `SETTINGS any_join_distinct_right_table_keys = 1` to Engine Join tables metadata or recreate these tables after upgrade. [#8400](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8400) ([Artem Zuikov](https://github.com/4ertus2))
* Require server to be restarted to apply the changes in logging configuration. This is a temporary workaround to avoid the bug where the server logs to a deleted log file (see [#8696](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/8696)). [#8707](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8707) ([Alexander Kuzmenkov](https://github.com/akuzm))

* Now user's profile in `users.xml` can inherit multiple profiles. [#8343](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8343) ([Mikhail f. Shiryaev](https://github.com/Felixoid))
* Added `system.stack_trace` table that allows to look at stack traces of all server threads. This is useful for developers to introspect server state. This fixes [#7576](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/7576). [#8344](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8344) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Add `DateTime64` datatype with configurable sub-second precision. [#7170](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/7170) ([Vasily Nemkov](https://github.com/Enmk))

* Add aggregate function `categoricalInformationValue` which calculates the information value of a discrete feature. [#8117](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8117) ([hcz](https://github.com/hczhcz))
* Speed up parsing of data files in `CSV`, `TSV` and `JSONEachRow` format by doing it in parallel. [#7780](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/7780) ([Alexander Kuzmenkov](https://github.com/akuzm))
* Add function `bankerRound` which performs banker's rounding. [#8112](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8112) ([hcz](https://github.com/hczhcz))
* Support more languages in embedded dictionary for region names: 'ru', 'en', 'ua', 'uk', 'by', 'kz', 'tr', 'de', 'uz', 'lv', 'lt', 'et', 'pt', 'he', 'vi'. [#8189](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8189) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Improvements in consistency of `ANY JOIN` logic. Now `t1 ANY LEFT JOIN t2` equals `t2 ANY RIGHT JOIN t1`. [#7665](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/7665) ([Artem Zuikov](https://github.com/4ertus2))
* Add setting `any_join_distinct_right_table_keys` which enables old behaviour for `ANY INNER JOIN`. [#7665](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/7665) ([Artem Zuikov](https://github.com/4ertus2))
* Add new `SEMI` and `ANTI JOIN`. Old `ANY INNER JOIN` behaviour now available as `SEMI LEFT JOIN`. [#7665](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/7665) ([Artem Zuikov](https://github.com/4ertus2))
* Added `Distributed` format for `File` engine and `file` table function which allows to read from `.bin` files generated by asynchronous  inserts into `Distributed` table. [#8535](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8535) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai))
* Add optional reset column argument for `runningAccumulate` which allows to reset aggregation results for each new key value. [#8326](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8326) ([Sergey Kononenko](https://github.com/kononencheg))
* Add ability to use ClickHouse as Prometheus endpoint. [#7900](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/7900) ([vdimir](https://github.com/Vdimir))
* Add section `<remote_url_allow_hosts>` in `config.xml` which restricts allowed hosts for remote table engines and table functions `URL`, `S3`, `HDFS`. [#7154](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/7154) ([Mikhail Korotov](https://github.com/millb))
* Added function `greatCircleAngle` which calculates the distance on a sphere in degrees. [#8105](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8105) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Changed Earth radius to be consistent with H3 library. [#8105](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8105) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Added `JSONCompactEachRow` and `JSONCompactEachRowWithNamesAndTypes` formats for input and output. [#7841](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/7841) ([Mikhail Korotov](https://github.com/millb))

That allows the use of `addr2line` when binary is position independent and ASLR is active. This fixes [#8360](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/8360). [#8387](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8387) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Support new syntax for row-level security filters: `<table name='table_name'>…</table>`. Fixes [#5779](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/5779). [#8381](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8381) ([Ivan](https://github.com/abyss7))
* Now `cityHash` function can work with `Decimal` and `UUID` types. Fixes [#5184](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/5184). [#7693](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/7693) ([Mikhail Korotov](https://github.com/millb))

* The settings `mark_cache_min_lifetime` is now obsolete and does nothing. In previous versions, mark cache can grow in memory larger than `mark_cache_size` to accomodate data within `mark_cache_min_lifetime` seconds. That was leading to confusion and higher memory usage than expected, that is especially bad on memory constrained systems. If you will see performance degradation after installing this release, you should increase the `mark_cache_size`. [#8484](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8484) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Preparation to use `tid` everywhere. This is needed for [#7477](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/7477). [#8276](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8276) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))

#### Experimental Feature
* Added experimental setting `min_bytes_to_use_mmap_io`. It allows to read big files without copying data from kernel to userspace. The setting is disabled by default. Recommended threshold is about 64 MB, because mmap/munmap is slow. [#8520](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8520) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
* Reworked quotas as a part of access control system.

Added new table `system.row_policies`, new function `currentRowPolicies()`, new SQL syntax `CREATE POLICY`, `ALTER POLICY`, `DROP POLICY`, `SHOW CREATE POLICY`, `SHOW POLICIES`. [#7808](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/7808) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar))

#### Security Fix
* Fixed the possibility of reading directories structure in tables with `File` table engine. This fixes [#8536](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/8536). [#8537](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/8537) ([alexey-milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov))
