### ClickHouse release v21.9.1.8000-prestable FIXME as compared to v21.8.1.7409-prestable

#### Backward Incompatible Change
* 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](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/25447). This fixes [#26914](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/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](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/26639) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Under clickhouse-local, always treat local addresses with a port as remote. [#26736](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/26736) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* 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](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/26847) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* 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](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/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](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/27680) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).

#### New Feature
* Implement window function `nth_value(expr, N)` that returns the value of the Nth row of the window frame. [#26334](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/26334) ([Zuo, RuoYu](https://github.com/ryzuo)).
* - Add `REPLACE GRANT` feature. [#26384](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/26384) ([Caspian](https://github.com/Cas-pian)).

* add column default_database to system.users. [#27054](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/27054) ([kevin wan](https://github.com/MaxWk)).
* Added `bitmapSubsetOffsetLimit(bitmap, offset, cardinality_limit)` function. It creates a subset of bitmap limit the results to `cardinality_limit` with offset of `offset`. [#27234](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/27234) ([DHBin](https://github.com/DHBin)).
* Add support for `bzip2` compression method for import/export. Closes [#22428](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/22428). [#27377](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/27377) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* - Add replicated storage of user, roles, row policies, quotas and settings profiles through ZooKeeper (experimental). [#27426](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/27426) ([Kevin Michel](https://github.com/kmichel-aiven)).
* Add "tupleToNameValuePairs", a function that turns a named tuple into an array of pairs. [#27505](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/27505) ([Braulio Valdivielso Martínez](https://github.com/BraulioVM)).
* Enable using constants from with and select in aggregate function parameters. Close [#10945](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/10945). [#27531](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/27531) ([abel-cheng](https://github.com/abel-cheng)).

* Share file descriptors in concurrent reads of the same files. There is no noticeable performance difference on Linux. But the number of opened files will be significantly (10..100 times) lower on typical servers and it makes operations easier. See [#26214](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/26214). [#26768](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/26768) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).

* Less number of `clock_gettime` syscalls that may lead to performance improvement for some types of fast queries. [#27492](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/27492) ([filimonov](https://github.com/filimonov)).

* Remove GLOBAL keyword for IN when scalar function is passed. In previous versions, if user specified `GLOBAL IN f(x)` exception was thrown. [#26217](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/26217) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Apply aggressive IN index analysis for projections so that better projection candidate can be selected. [#26218](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/26218) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).

* Add a setting `function_range_max_elements_in_block` to tune the safety threshold for data volume generated by function `range`.

* 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`.

Scalar subquery with empty result which can't be converted to `Nullable` (like `Array` or `Tuple`) now throws error. Fixes [#25411](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/25411).
