# 2023 Changelog

### <a id="233"></a> ClickHouse release 23.3 LTS, 2023-03-30

#### Upgrade Notes
* Lightweight DELETEs are production ready and enabled by default. The `DELETE` query for MergeTree tables is now available by default.
* The behavior of `*domain*RFC` and `netloc` functions is slightly changed: relaxed the set of symbols that are allowed in the URL authority for better conformance. [#46841](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46841) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Prohibited creating tables based on KafkaEngine with DEFAULT/EPHEMERAL/ALIAS/MATERIALIZED statements for columns. [#47138](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47138) ([Aleksandr Musorin](https://github.com/AVMusorin)).
* An "asynchronous connection drain" feature is removed. Related settings and metrics are removed as well. It was an internal feature, so the removal should not affect users who had never heard about that feature. [#47486](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47486) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Support 256-bit Decimal data type (more than 38 digits) in `arraySum`/`Min`/`Max`/`Avg`/`Product`, `arrayCumSum`/`CumSumNonNegative`, `arrayDifference`, array construction, IN operator, query parameters, `groupArrayMovingSum`, statistical functions, `min`/`max`/`any`/`argMin`/`argMax`, PostgreSQL wire protocol, MySQL table engine and function, `sumMap`, `mapAdd`, `mapSubtract`, `arrayIntersect`. Add support for big integers in `arrayIntersect`. Statistical aggregate functions involving moments (such as `corr` or various `TTest`s) will use `Float64` as their internal representation (they were using `Decimal128` before this change, but it was pointless), and these functions can return `nan` instead of `inf` in case of infinite variance. Some functions were allowed on `Decimal256` data types but returned `Decimal128` in previous versions - now it is fixed. This closes [#47569](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/47569). This closes [#44864](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44864). This closes [#28335](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/28335). [#47594](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47594) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Make backup_threads/restore_threads server settings (instead of user settings). [#47881](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47881) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Do not allow const and non-deterministic secondary indices [#46839](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46839) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).

#### New Feature
* Add a new mode for splitting the work on replicas using settings `parallel_replicas_custom_key` and `parallel_replicas_custom_key_filter_type`. If the cluster consists of a single shard with multiple replicas, up to `max_parallel_replicas` will be randomly picked and turned into shards. For each shard, a corresponding filter is added to the query on the initiator before being sent to the shard. If the cluster consists of multiple shards, it will behave the same as `sample_key` but with the possibility to define an arbitrary key. [#45108](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45108) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* An option to display partial result on cancel: Added query setting `partial_result_on_first_cancel` allowing the canceled query (e.g. due to Ctrl-C) to return a partial result. [#45689](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45689) ([Alexey Perevyshin](https://github.com/alexX512)).
* Added support of arbitrary tables engines for temporary tables (except for Replicated and KeeperMap engines). Close [#31497](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/31497). [#46071](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46071) ([Roman Vasin](https://github.com/rvasin)).
* Add support for replication of user-defined SQL functions using centralized storage in Keeper. [#46085](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46085) ([Aleksei Filatov](https://github.com/aalexfvk)).
* Implement `system.server_settings` (similar to `system.settings`), which will contain server configurations. [#46550](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46550) ([pufit](https://github.com/pufit)).
* Support for `UNDROP TABLE` query. Closes [#46811](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46811). [#47241](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47241) ([chen](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).
* Allow separate grants for named collections (e.g. to be able to give `SHOW/CREATE/ALTER/DROP named collection` access only to certain collections, instead of all at once). Closes [#40894](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/40894). Add new access type `NAMED_COLLECTION_CONTROL` which is not given to user default unless explicitly added to the user config (is required to be able to do `GRANT ALL`), also `show_named_collections` is no longer obligatory to be manually specified for user default to be able to have full access rights as was in 23.2. [#46241](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46241) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Allow nested custom disks. Previously custom disks supported only flat disk structure. [#47106](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47106) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Introduce a function `widthBucket` (with a `WIDTH_BUCKET` alias for compatibility). [#42974](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42974). [#46790](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46790) ([avoiderboi](https://github.com/avoiderboi)).
* Add new function `parseDateTime`/`parseDateTimeInJodaSyntax` according to the specified format string. parseDateTime parses String to DateTime in MySQL syntax, parseDateTimeInJodaSyntax parses in Joda syntax. [#46815](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46815) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Use `dummy UInt8` for the default structure of table function `null`. Closes [#46930](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46930). [#47006](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47006) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Support for date format with a comma, like `Dec 15, 2021` in the `parseDateTimeBestEffort` function. Closes [#46816](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46816). [#47071](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47071) ([chen](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).
* Add settings `http_wait_end_of_query` and `http_response_buffer_size` that corresponds to URL params `wait_end_of_query` and `buffer_size` for the HTTP interface. This allows changing these settings in the profiles. [#47108](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47108) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Add `system.dropped_tables` table that shows tables that were dropped from `Atomic` databases but were not completely removed yet. [#47364](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47364) ([chen](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).
* Add `INSTR` as alias of `positionCaseInsensitive` for MySQL compatibility. Closes [#47529](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/47529). [#47535](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47535) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Added `toDecimalString` function allowing to convert numbers to string with fixed precision. [#47838](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47838) ([Andrey Zvonov](https://github.com/zvonand)).
* Add a merge tree setting `max_number_of_mutations_for_replica`. It limits the number of part mutations per replica to the specified amount. Zero means no limit on the number of mutations per replica (the execution can still be constrained by other settings). [#48047](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/48047) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Add the Map-related function `mapFromArrays`, which allows the creation of a map from a pair of arrays. [#31125](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/31125) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Allow control of compression in Parquet/ORC/Arrow output formats, adds support for more compression input formats. This closes [#13541](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/13541). [#47114](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47114) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add SSL User Certificate authentication to the native protocol. Closes [#47077](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/47077). [#47596](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47596) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Add *OrNull() and *OrZero() variants for `parseDateTime`, add alias `str_to_date` for MySQL parity. [#48000](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/48000) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Added operator `REGEXP` (similar to operators "LIKE", "IN", "MOD" etc.) for better compatibility with MySQL [#47869](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47869) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).

#### Performance Improvement
* Marks in memory are now compressed, using 3-6x less memory. [#47290](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47290) ([Michael Kolupaev](https://github.com/al13n321)).
* Backups for large numbers of files were unbelievably slow in previous versions. Not anymore. Now they are unbelievably fast. [#47251](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47251) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)). Introduced a separate thread pool for backup's IO operations. This will allow scaling it independently of other pools and increase performance. [#47174](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47174) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)). Use MultiRead request and retries for collecting metadata at the final stage of backup processing. [#47243](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47243) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)). If a backup and restoring data are both in S3 then server-side copy should be used from now on. [#47546](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47546) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Fixed excessive reading in queries with `FINAL`. [#47801](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47801) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Setting `max_final_threads` would be set to the number of cores at server startup (by the same algorithm as used for `max_threads`). This improves the concurrency of `final` execution on servers with high number of CPUs. [#47915](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47915) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Allow executing reading pipeline for DIRECT dictionary with CLICKHOUSE source in multiple threads. To enable set `dictionary_use_async_executor=1` in `SETTINGS` section for source in `CREATE DICTIONARY` statement. [#47986](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47986) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Optimize one nullable key aggregate performance. [#45772](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45772) ([LiuNeng](https://github.com/liuneng1994)).
* Implemented lowercase `tokenbf_v1` index utilization for `hasTokenOrNull`, `hasTokenCaseInsensitive` and `hasTokenCaseInsensitiveOrNull`. [#46252](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46252) ([ltrk2](https://github.com/ltrk2)).
* Optimize functions `position` and `LIKE` by searching the first two chars using SIMD. [#46289](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46289) ([Jiebin Sun](https://github.com/jiebinn)).
* Optimize queries from the `system.detached_parts`, which could be significantly large. Added several sources with respect to the block size limitation; in each block, an IO thread pool is used to calculate the part size, i.e. to make syscalls in parallel. [#46624](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46624) ([Sema Checherinda](https://github.com/CheSema)).
* Increase the default value of `max_replicated_merges_in_queue` for ReplicatedMergeTree tables from 16 to 1000. It allows faster background merge operation on clusters with a very large number of replicas, such as clusters with shared storage in ClickHouse Cloud. [#47050](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47050) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Updated `clickhouse-copier` to use `GROUP BY` instead of `DISTINCT` to get the list of partitions. For large tables, this reduced the select time from over 500s to under 1s. [#47386](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47386) ([Clayton McClure](https://github.com/cmcclure-twilio)).
* Fix performance degradation in `ASOF JOIN`. [#47544](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47544) ([Ongkong](https://github.com/ongkong)).
* Even more batching in Keeper. Improve performance by avoiding breaking batches on read requests. [#47978](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47978) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Allow PREWHERE for Merge with different DEFAULT expressions for columns. [#46831](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46831) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).

#### Experimental Feature
* Parallel replicas: Improved the overall performance by better utilizing the local replica, and forbid the reading with parallel replicas from non-replicated MergeTree by default. [#47858](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47858) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Support filter push down to left table for JOIN with `Join`, `Dictionary` and `EmbeddedRocksDB` tables if the experimental Analyzer is enabled. [#47280](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47280) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).
* Now ReplicatedMergeTree with zero copy replication has less load to Keeper. [#47676](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47676) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)).
* Fix create materialized view with MaterializedPostgreSQL [#40807](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40807) ([Maksim Buren](https://github.com/maks-buren630501)).

#### Improvement
* Enable `input_format_json_ignore_unknown_keys_in_named_tuple` by default. [#46742](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46742) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Allow errors to be ignored while pushing to MATERIALIZED VIEW (add new setting `materialized_views_ignore_errors`, by default to `false`, but it is set to `true` for flushing logs to `system.*_log` tables unconditionally). [#46658](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46658) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Track the file queue of distributed sends in memory. [#45491](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45491) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Now `X-ClickHouse-Query-Id` and `X-ClickHouse-Timezone` headers are added to responses in all queries via HTTP protocol. Previously it was done only for `SELECT` queries. [#46364](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46364) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* External tables from `MongoDB`: support for connection to a replica set via a URI with a host:port enum and support for the readPreference option in MongoDB dictionaries. Example URI: mongodb://db0.example.com:27017,db1.example.com:27017,db2.example.com:27017/?replicaSet=myRepl&readPreference=primary. [#46524](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46524) ([artem-yadr](https://github.com/artem-yadr)).
* This improvement should be invisible for users. Re-implement projection analysis on top of query plan. Added setting `query_plan_optimize_projection=1` to switch between old and new version. Fixes [#44963](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44963). [#46537](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46537) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Use Parquet format v2 instead of v1 in output format by default. Add setting `output_format_parquet_version` to control parquet version, possible values `1.0`, `2.4`, `2.6`, `2.latest` (default). [#46617](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46617) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* It is now possible to use the new configuration syntax to configure Kafka topics with periods (`.`) in their name. [#46752](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46752) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Fix heuristics that check hyperscan patterns for problematic repeats. [#46819](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46819) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Don't report ZK node exists to system.errors when a block was created concurrently by a different replica. [#46820](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46820) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Increase the limit for opened files in `clickhouse-local`. It will be able to read from `web` tables on servers with a huge number of CPU cores. Do not back off reading from the URL table engine in case of too many opened files. This closes [#46852](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46852). [#46853](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46853) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Exceptions thrown when numbers cannot be parsed now have an easier-to-read exception message. [#46917](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46917) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Added update `system.backups` after every processed task to track the progress of backups. [#46989](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46989) ([Aleksandr Musorin](https://github.com/AVMusorin)).
* Allow types conversion in Native input format. Add settings `input_format_native_allow_types_conversion` that controls it (enabled by default). [#46990](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46990) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Allow IPv4 in the `range` function to generate IP ranges. [#46995](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46995) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).
* Improve exception message when it's impossible to move a part from one volume/disk to another. [#47032](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47032) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)).
* Support `Bool` type in `JSONType` function. Previously `Null` type was mistakenly returned for bool values. [#47046](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47046) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Use `_request_body` parameter to configure predefined HTTP queries. [#47086](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47086) ([Constantine Peresypkin](https://github.com/pkit)).
* Automatic indentation in the built-in UI SQL editor when Enter is pressed. [#47113](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47113) ([Alexey Korepanov](https://github.com/alexkorep)).
* Self-extraction with 'sudo' will attempt to set uid and gid of extracted files to running user. [#47116](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47116) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).
* Previously, the `repeat` function's second argument only accepted an unsigned integer type, which meant it could not accept values such as -1. This behavior differed from that of the Spark function. In this update, the repeat function has been modified to match the behavior of the Spark function. It now accepts the same types of inputs, including negative integers. Extensive testing has been performed to verify the correctness of the updated implementation. [#47134](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47134) ([KevinyhZou](https://github.com/KevinyhZou)). Note: the changelog entry was rewritten by ChatGPT.
* Remove `::__1` part from stacktraces. Display `std::basic_string<char, ...` as `String` in stacktraces. [#47171](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47171) ([Mike Kot](https://github.com/myrrc)).
* Reimplement interserver mode to avoid replay attacks (note, that change is backward compatible with older servers). [#47213](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47213) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Improve recognition of regular expression groups and refine the regexp_tree dictionary. [#47218](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47218) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).
* Keeper improvement: Add new 4LW `clrs` to clean resources used by Keeper (e.g. release unused memory). [#47256](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47256) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Add optional arguments to codecs `DoubleDelta(bytes_size)`, `Gorilla(bytes_size)`, `FPC(level, float_size)`, this allows using these codecs without column type in `clickhouse-compressor`. Fix possible aborts and arithmetic errors in `clickhouse-compressor` with these codecs. Fixes: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/discussions/47262. [#47271](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47271) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add support for big int types to the `runningDifference` function. Closes [#47194](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/47194). [#47322](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47322) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Add an expiration window for S3 credentials that have an expiration time to avoid `ExpiredToken` errors in some edge cases. It can be controlled with `expiration_window_seconds` config, the default is 120 seconds. [#47423](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47423) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Support Decimals and Date32 in `Avro` format. [#47434](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47434) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Do not start the server if an interrupted conversion from `Ordinary` to `Atomic` was detected, print a better error message with troubleshooting instructions. [#47487](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47487) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Add a new column `kind` to the `system.opentelemetry_span_log`. This column holds the value of [SpanKind](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/trace/api/#spankind) defined in OpenTelemtry. [#47499](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47499) ([Frank Chen](https://github.com/FrankChen021)).
* Allow reading/writing nested arrays in `Protobuf` format with only the root field name as column name. Previously column name should've contained all nested field names (like `a.b.c Array(Array(Array(UInt32)))`, now you can use just `a Array(Array(Array(UInt32)))`. [#47650](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47650) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Added an optional `STRICT` modifier for `SYSTEM SYNC REPLICA` which makes the query wait for the replication queue to become empty (just like it worked before https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45648). [#47659](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47659) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Improve the naming of some OpenTelemetry span logs. [#47667](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47667) ([Frank Chen](https://github.com/FrankChen021)).
* Prevent using too long chains of aggregate function combinators (they can lead to slow queries in the analysis stage). This closes [#47715](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/47715). [#47716](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47716) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Support for subquery in parameterized views; resolves [#46741](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46741) [#47725](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47725) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Fix memory leak in MySQL integration (reproduces with `connection_auto_close=1`). [#47732](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47732) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Improved error handling in the code related to Decimal parameters, resulting in more informative error messages. Previously, when incorrect Decimal parameters were supplied, the error message generated was unclear or unhelpful. With this update, the error message printed has been fixed to provide more detailed and useful information, making it easier to identify and correct issues related to Decimal parameters. [#47812](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47812) ([Yu Feng](https://github.com/Vigor-jpg)). Note: this changelog entry is rewritten by ChatGPT.
* The parameter `exact_rows_before_limit` is used to make `rows_before_limit_at_least` is designed to accurately reflect the number of rows returned before the limit is reached. This pull request addresses issues encountered when the query involves distributed processing across multiple shards or sorting operations. Prior to this update, these scenarios were not functioning as intended. [#47874](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47874) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* ThreadPools metrics introspection. [#47880](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47880) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Add `WriteBufferFromS3Microseconds` and `WriteBufferFromS3RequestsErrors` profile events. [#47885](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/47885) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).

### <a id="232"></a> ClickHouse release 23.2, 2023-02-23

#### Backward Incompatible Change
* Extend function "toDayOfWeek()" (alias: "DAYOFWEEK") with a mode argument that encodes whether the week starts on Monday or Sunday and whether counting starts at 0 or 1. For consistency with other date time functions, the mode argument was inserted between the time and the time zone arguments. This breaks existing usage of the (previously undocumented) 2-argument syntax "toDayOfWeek(time, time_zone)". A fix is to rewrite the function into "toDayOfWeek(time, 0, time_zone)". [#45233](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45233) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Rename setting `max_query_cache_size` to `filesystem_cache_max_download_size`. [#45614](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45614) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* The `default` user will not have permissions for access type `SHOW NAMED COLLECTION` by default (e.g. `default` user will no longer be able to grant ALL to other users as it was before, therefore this PR is backward incompatible). [#46010](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46010) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* If the SETTINGS clause is specified before the FORMAT clause, the settings will be applied to formatting as well. [#46003](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46003) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Remove support for setting `materialized_postgresql_allow_automatic_update` (which was by default turned off). [#46106](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46106) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Slightly improve performance of `countDigits` on realistic datasets. This closed [#44518](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44518). In previous versions, `countDigits(0)` returned `0`; now it returns `1`, which is more correct, and follows the existing documentation. [#46187](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46187) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Disallow creation of new columns compressed by a combination of codecs "Delta" or "DoubleDelta" followed by codecs "Gorilla" or "FPC". This can be bypassed using setting "allow_suspicious_codecs = true". [#45652](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45652) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).

#### New Feature
* Add `StorageIceberg` and table function `iceberg` to access iceberg table store on S3. [#45384](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45384) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Allow configuring storage as `SETTINGS disk = '<disk_name>'` (instead of `storage_policy`) and with explicit disk creation `SETTINGS disk = disk(type=s3, ...)`. [#41976](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41976) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Expose `ProfileEvents` counters in `system.part_log`. [#38614](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38614) ([Bharat Nallan](https://github.com/bharatnc)).
* Enrichment of the existing `ReplacingMergeTree` engine to allow duplicate the insertion. It leverages the power of both `ReplacingMergeTree` and `CollapsingMergeTree` in one MergeTree engine. Deleted data are not returned when queried, but not removed from disk neither. [#41005](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41005) ([youennL-cs](https://github.com/youennL-cs)).
* Add `generateULID` function. Closes [#36536](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/36536). [#44662](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44662) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Add `corrMatrix` aggregate function, calculating each two columns. In addition, since Aggregatefunctions `covarSamp` and `covarPop` are similar to `corr`, I add `covarSampMatrix`, `covarPopMatrix` by the way. @alexey-milovidov closes [#44587](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44587). [#44680](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44680) ([FFFFFFFHHHHHHH](https://github.com/FFFFFFFHHHHHHH)).
* Introduce arrayShuffle function for random array permutations. [#45271](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45271) ([Joanna Hulboj](https://github.com/jh0x)).
* Support types `FIXED_SIZE_BINARY` type in Arrow, `FIXED_LENGTH_BYTE_ARRAY` in `Parquet` and match them to `FixedString`. Add settings `output_format_parquet_fixed_string_as_fixed_byte_array/output_format_arrow_fixed_string_as_fixed_byte_array` to control default output type for FixedString. Closes [#45326](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45326). [#45340](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45340) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add a new column `last_exception_time` to system.replication_queue. [#45457](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45457) ([Frank Chen](https://github.com/FrankChen021)).
* Add two new functions which allow for user-defined keys/seeds with SipHash{64,128}. [#45513](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45513) ([Salvatore Mesoraca](https://github.com/aiven-sal)).
* Allow a three-argument version for table function `format`. close [#45808](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45808). [#45873](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45873) ([FFFFFFFHHHHHHH](https://github.com/FFFFFFFHHHHHHH)).
* Add `JodaTime` format support for 'x','w','S'. Refer to https://joda-time.sourceforge.net/apidocs/org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormat.html. [#46073](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46073) ([zk_kiger](https://github.com/zk-kiger)).
* Support window function `ntile`. ([lgbo](https://github.com/lgbo-ustc)).
* Add setting `final` to implicitly apply the `FINAL` modifier to every table. [#40945](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40945) ([Arthur Passos](https://github.com/arthurpassos)).
* Added `arrayPartialSort` and `arrayPartialReverseSort` functions. [#46296](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46296) ([Joanna Hulboj](https://github.com/jh0x)).
* The new http parameter `client_protocol_version` allows setting a client protocol version for HTTP responses using the Native format. [#40397](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/40397). [#46360](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46360) ([Geoff Genz](https://github.com/genzgd)).
* Add new function `regexpExtract`, like spark function `REGEXP_EXTRACT` for compatibility. It is similar to the existing function `extract`. [#46469](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46469) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Add new function `JSONArrayLength`, which returns the number of elements in the outermost JSON array. The function returns NULL if the input JSON string is invalid. [#46631](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46631) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).

#### Performance Improvement
* The introduced logic works if PREWHERE condition is a conjunction of multiple conditions (cond1 AND cond2 AND ... ). It groups those conditions that require reading the same columns into steps. After each step the corresponding part of the full condition is computed and the result rows might be filtered. This allows to read fewer rows in the next steps thus saving IO bandwidth and doing less computation. This logic is disabled by default for now. It will be enabled by default in one of the future releases once it is known to not have any regressions, so it is highly encouraged to be used for testing. It can be controlled by 2 settings: "enable_multiple_prewhere_read_steps" and "move_all_conditions_to_prewhere". [#46140](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46140) ([Alexander Gololobov](https://github.com/davenger)).
* An option added to aggregate partitions independently if table partition key and group by key are compatible. Controlled by the setting `allow_aggregate_partitions_independently`. Disabled by default because of limited applicability (please refer to the docs). [#45364](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45364) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Allow using Vertical merge algorithm with parts in Compact format. This will allow ClickHouse server to use much less memory for background operations. This closes [#46084](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46084). [#45681](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45681) [#46282](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46282) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Optimize `Parquet` reader by using batch reader. [#45878](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45878) ([LiuNeng](https://github.com/liuneng1994)).
* Add new `local_filesystem_read_method` method `io_uring` based on the asynchronous Linux [io_uring](https://kernel.dk/io_uring.pdf) subsystem, improving read performance almost universally compared to the default `pread` method. [#38456](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38456) ([Saulius Valatka](https://github.com/sauliusvl)).
* Rewrite aggregate functions with `if` expression as argument when logically equivalent. For example, `avg(if(cond, col, null))` can be rewritten to avgIf(cond, col). It is helpful in performance. [#44730](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44730) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Improve lower/upper function performance with avx512 instructions. [#37894](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37894) ([yaqi-zhao](https://github.com/yaqi-zhao)).
* Remove the limitation that on systems with >=32 cores and SMT disabled ClickHouse uses only half of the cores (the case when you disable Hyper Threading in BIOS). [#44973](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44973) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Improve performance of function `multiIf` by columnar executing, speed up by 2.3x. [#45296](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45296) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Add fast path for function `position` when the needle is empty. [#45382](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45382) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Enable `query_plan_remove_redundant_sorting` optimization by default. Optimization implemented in [#45420](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45420). [#45567](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45567) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
* Increased HTTP Transfer Encoding chunk size to improve performance of large queries using the HTTP interface. [#45593](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45593) ([Geoff Genz](https://github.com/genzgd)).
* Fixed performance of short `SELECT` queries that read from tables with large number of `Array`/`Map`/`Nested` columns. [#45630](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45630) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Improve performance of filtering for big integers and decimal types. [#45949](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45949) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* This change could effectively reduce the overhead of obtaining the filter from ColumnNullable(UInt8) and improve the overall query performance. To evaluate the impact of this change, we adopted TPC-H benchmark but revised the column types from non-nullable to nullable, and we measured the QPS of its queries as the performance indicator. [#45962](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45962) ([Zhiguo Zhou](https://github.com/ZhiguoZh)).
* Make the `_part` and `_partition_id` virtual column be `LowCardinality(String)` type. Closes [#45964](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45964). [#45975](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45975) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).

* Rewrite `arrayExists(x -> x = 1, arr)` -> `has(arr, 1)`, which improve performance by 1.34x. [#46188](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46188) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Fix too big memory usage for vertical merges on non-remote disk. Respect `max_insert_delayed_streams_for_parallel_write` for the remote disk. [#46275](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46275) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Update zstd to v1.5.4. It has some minor improvements in performance and compression ratio. If you run replicas with different versions of ClickHouse you may see reasonable error messages `Data after merge/mutation is not byte-identical to data on another replicas.` with explanation. These messages are Ok and you should not worry. [#46280](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46280) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Fix performance degradation caused by [#39737](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/39737). [#46309](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46309) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* The `replicas_status` handle will answer quickly even in case of a large replication queue. [#46310](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46310) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add avx512 support for aggregate function `sum`, function unary arithmetic, function comparison. [#37870](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/37870) ([zhao zhou](https://github.com/zzachimed)).
* Rewrote the code around marks distribution and the overall coordination of the reading in order to achieve the maximum performance improvement. This closes [#34527](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/34527). [#43772](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43772) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Remove redundant DISTINCT clauses in query (subqueries). Implemented on top of query plan. It does similar optimization as `optimize_duplicate_order_by_and_distinct` regarding DISTINCT clauses. Can be enabled via `query_plan_remove_redundant_distinct` setting. Related to [#42648](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42648). [#44176](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44176) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
* A few query rewrite optimizations: `sumIf(123, cond) -> 123 * countIf(1, cond)`, `sum(if(cond, 123, 0)) -> 123 * countIf(cond)`, `sum(if(cond, 0, 123)) -> 123 * countIf(not(cond))` [#44728](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44728) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Improved how memory bound merging and aggregation in order on top query plan interact. Previously we fell back to explicit sorting for AIO in some cases when it wasn't actually needed. [#45892](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45892) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Concurrent merges are scheduled using round-robin by default to ensure fair and starvation-free operation. Previously in heavily overloaded shards, big merges could possibly be starved by smaller merges due to the use of strict priority scheduling. Added `background_merges_mutations_scheduling_policy` server config option to select scheduling algorithm (`round_robin` or `shortest_task_first`). [#46247](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46247) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)).

#### Improvement
* Enable retries for INSERT by default in case of ZooKeeper session loss. We already use it in production. [#46308](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46308) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add ability to ignore unknown keys in JSON object for named tuples (`input_format_json_ignore_unknown_keys_in_named_tuple`). [#45678](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45678) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Support optimizing the `where` clause with sorting key expression move to `prewhere`  for query with `final`. [#38893](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/38893). [#38950](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38950) ([hexiaoting](https://github.com/hexiaoting)).
* Add new metrics for backups: num_processed_files and processed_files_size described actual number of processed files. [#42244](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42244) ([Aleksandr](https://github.com/AVMusorin)).
* Added retries on interserver DNS errors. [#43179](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43179) ([Anton Kozlov](https://github.com/tonickkozlov)).
* Keeper improvement: try preallocating space on the disk to avoid undefined out-of-space issues. Introduce setting `max_log_file_size` for the maximum size of Keeper's Raft log files. [#44370](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44370) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Optimize behavior for a replica delay api logic in case the replica is read-only. [#45148](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45148) ([mateng915](https://github.com/mateng0915)).
* Ask for the password in clickhouse-client interactively in a case when the empty password is wrong. Closes [#46702](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46702). [#46730](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46730) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)). 
* Mark `Gorilla` compression on columns of non-Float* type as suspicious. [#45376](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45376) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Show replica name that is executing a merge in the `postpone_reason` column. [#45458](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45458) ([Frank Chen](https://github.com/FrankChen021)).
* Save exception stack trace in part_log. [#45459](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45459) ([Frank Chen](https://github.com/FrankChen021)).
* The `regexp_tree` dictionary is polished and now it is compatible with https://github.com/ua-parser/uap-core. [#45631](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45631) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).
* Updated checking of `SYSTEM SYNC REPLICA`, resolves [#45508](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45508) [#45648](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45648) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Rename setting `replication_alter_partitions_sync` to `alter_sync`. [#45659](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45659) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* The `generateRandom` table function and the engine now support `LowCardinality` data types. This is useful for testing, for example you can write `INSERT INTO table SELECT * FROM generateRandom() LIMIT 1000`. This is needed to debug [#45590](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45590). [#45661](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45661) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* The experimental query result cache now provides more modular configuration settings. [#45679](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45679) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Renamed "query result cache" to "query cache". [#45682](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45682) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* add `SYSTEM SYNC FILE CACHE` command. It will do the `sync` syscall. [#8921](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/8921). [#45685](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45685) ([DR](https://github.com/freedomDR)).
* Add a new S3 setting `allow_head_object_request`. This PR makes usage of `GetObjectAttributes` request instead of `HeadObject` introduced in https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45288 optional (and disabled by default). [#45701](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45701) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Add ability to override connection settings based on connection names (that said that now you can forget about storing password for each connection, you can simply put everything into `~/.clickhouse-client/config.xml` and even use different history files for them, which can be also useful). [#45715](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45715) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Arrow format: support the duration type. Closes [#45669](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45669). [#45750](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45750) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Extend the logging in the Query Cache to improve investigations of the caching behavior. [#45751](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45751) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* The query cache's server-level settings are now reconfigurable at runtime. [#45758](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45758) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Hide password in logs when a table function's arguments are specified with a named collection. [#45774](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45774) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Improve internal S3 client to correctly deduce regions and redirections for different types of URLs. [#45783](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45783) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Add support for Map, IPv4 and IPv6 types in generateRandom. Mostly useful for testing. [#45785](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45785) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Support empty/notEmpty for IP types. [#45799](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45799) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).
* The column `num_processed_files` was split into two columns: `num_files` (for BACKUP) and `files_read` (for RESTORE). The column `processed_files_size` was split into two columns: `total_size` (for BACKUP) and `bytes_read` (for RESTORE). [#45800](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45800) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).

* Improve behaviour of conversion into Date for boundary value 65535 (2149-06-06). [#46042](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46042) [#45914](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45914) ([Joanna Hulboj](https://github.com/jh0x)).
* Add setting `check_referential_table_dependencies` to check referential dependencies on `DROP TABLE`. This PR solves [#38326](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/38326). [#45936](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45936) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Fix `tupleElement` to return `Null` when having `Null` argument. Closes [#45894](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45894). [#45952](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45952) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Throw an error on no files satisfying the S3 wildcard. Closes [#45587](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45587). [#45957](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45957) ([chen](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).

* Forbid wrong create View syntax `CREATE View X TO Y AS SELECT`. Closes [#4331](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/4331). [#46043](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46043) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Storage `Log` family support setting the `storage_policy`. Closes [#43421](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43421). [#46044](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46044) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Improve `JSONColumns` format when the result is empty. Closes [#46024](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/46024). [#46053](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46053) ([flynn](https://github.com/ucasfl)).
* Add reference implementation for SipHash128. [#46065](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46065) ([Salvatore Mesoraca](https://github.com/aiven-sal)).
* Add a new metric to record allocations times and bytes using mmap. [#46068](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46068) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Currently for functions like `leftPad`, `rightPad`, `leftPadUTF8`, `rightPadUTF8`, the second argument `length` must be UInt8|16|32|64|128|256. Which is too strict for clickhouse users, besides, it is not consistent with other similar functions like `arrayResize`, `substring` and so on. [#46103](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46103) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Fix assertion in the `welchTTest` function in debug build when the resulting statistics is NaN. Unified the behavior with other similar functions. Change the behavior of `studentTTest` to return NaN instead of throwing an exception because the previous behavior was inconvenient. This closes [#41176](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41176) This closes [#42162](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42162). [#46141](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46141) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* More convenient usage of big integers and ORDER BY WITH FILL. Allow using plain integers for start and end points in WITH FILL when ORDER BY big (128-bit and 256-bit) integers. Fix the wrong result for big integers with negative start or end points. This closes [#16733](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/16733). [#46152](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46152) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add `parts`, `active_parts` and `total_marks` columns to `system.tables` on [issue](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44336). [#46161](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46161) ([attack204](https://github.com/attack204)).
* Functions "multi[Fuzzy]Match(Any|AnyIndex|AllIndices}" now reject regexes which will likely evaluate very slowly in vectorscan. [#46167](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46167) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* When `insert_null_as_default` is enabled and column doesn't have defined default value, the default of column type will be used. Also this PR fixes using default values on nulls in case of LowCardinality columns. [#46171](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46171) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Prefer explicitly defined access keys for S3 clients. If `use_environment_credentials` is set to `true`, and the user has provided the access key through query or config, they will be used instead of the ones from the environment variable. [#46191](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46191) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Add an alias "DATE_FORMAT()" for function "formatDateTime()" to improve compatibility with MySQL's SQL dialect, extend function `formatDateTime` with substitutions "a", "b", "c", "h", "i", "k", "l" "r", "s", "W". ### Documentation entry for user-facing changes User-readable short description: `DATE_FORMAT` is an alias of `formatDateTime`. Formats a Time according to the given Format string. Format is a constant expression, so you cannot have multiple formats for a single result column. (Provide link to [formatDateTime](https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/sql-reference/functions/date-time-functions/#formatdatetime)). [#46302](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46302) ([Jake Bamrah](https://github.com/JakeBamrah)).
* Add `ProfileEvents` and `CurrentMetrics` about the callback tasks for parallel replicas (`s3Cluster` and `MergeTree` tables). [#46313](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46313) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add support for `DELETE` and `UPDATE` for tables using `KeeperMap` storage engine. [#46330](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46330) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Allow writing RENAME queries with query parameters. Resolves [#45778](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45778). [#46407](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46407) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Fix parameterized SELECT queries with REPLACE transformer. Resolves [#33002](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/33002). [#46420](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46420) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Exclude the internal database used for temporary/external tables from the calculation of asynchronous metric "NumberOfDatabases". This makes the behavior consistent with system table "system.databases". [#46435](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46435) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Added `last_exception_time` column into distribution_queue table. [#46564](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46564) ([Aleksandr](https://github.com/AVMusorin)).
* Support for IN clause with parameter in parameterized views. [#46583](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46583) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Do not load named collections on server startup (load them on first access instead). [#46607](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46607) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).

* ClickHouse's fork of poco was moved from "contrib/" to "base/poco/". [#46075](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46075) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Add an option for `clickhouse-watchdog` to restart the child process. This does not make a lot of use. [#46312](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46312) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* If the environment variable `CLICKHOUSE_DOCKER_RESTART_ON_EXIT` is set to 1, the Docker container will run `clickhouse-server` as a child instead of the first process, and restart it when it exited. [#46391](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46391) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix Systemd service file. [#46461](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46461) ([SuperDJY](https://github.com/cmsxbc)).
* Raised the minimum Clang version needed to build ClickHouse from 12 to 15. [#46710](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46710) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Upgrade Intel QPL from v0.3.0 to v1.0.0 2. Build libaccel-config and link it statically to QPL library instead of dynamically. [#45809](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45809) ([jasperzhu](https://github.com/jinjunzh)).


#### Bug Fix (user-visible misbehavior in official stable release)

* Flush data exactly by `rabbitmq_flush_interval_ms` or by `rabbitmq_max_block_size` in `StorageRabbitMQ`. Closes [#42389](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42389). Closes [#45160](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45160). [#44404](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44404) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Use PODArray to render in sparkBar function, so we can control the memory usage. Close [#44467](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44467). [#44489](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44489) ([Duc Canh Le](https://github.com/canhld94)).
* Fix functions (quantilesExactExclusive, quantilesExactInclusive) return unsorted array element. [#45379](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45379) ([wujunfu](https://github.com/wujunfu)).
* Fix uncaught exception in HTTPHandler when open telemetry is enabled. [#45456](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45456) ([Frank Chen](https://github.com/FrankChen021)).
* Don't infer Dates from 8 digit numbers. It could lead to wrong data to be read. [#45581](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45581) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Fixes to correctly use `odbc_bridge_use_connection_pooling` setting. [#45591](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45591) ([Bharat Nallan](https://github.com/bharatnc)).
* When the callback in the cache is called, it is possible that this cache is destructed. To keep it safe, we capture members by value. It's also safe for task schedule because it will be deactivated before storage is destroyed. Resolve [#45548](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45548).

* Allocated during asynchronous inserts memory buffers were deallocated in the global context and MemoryTracker counters for corresponding user and query were not updated correctly. That led to false positive OOM exceptions. [#46622](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46622) ([Dmitry Novik](https://github.com/novikd)).
* Updated to not clear on_expression from table_join as its used by future analyze runs resolves [#45185](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45185). [#46487](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/46487) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).


### <a id="231"></a> ClickHouse release 23.1, 2023-01-26

### ClickHouse release 23.1

#### Upgrade Notes
* The `SYSTEM RESTART DISK` query becomes a no-op. [#44647](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44647) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)).
* The `PREALLOCATE` option for `HASHED`/`SPARSE_HASHED` dictionaries becomes a no-op. [#45388](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45388) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)). It does not give significant advantages anymore.
* Disallow `Gorilla` codec on columns of non-Float32 or non-Float64 type. [#45252](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45252) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)). It was pointless and led to inconsistencies. 
* Parallel quorum inserts might work incorrectly with `*MergeTree` tables created with the deprecated syntax. Therefore, parallel quorum inserts support is completely disabled for such tables. It does not affect tables created with a new syntax. [#45430](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45430) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Use the `GetObjectAttributes` request instead of the `HeadObject` request to get the size of an object in AWS S3. This change fixes handling endpoints without explicit regions after updating the AWS SDK, for example. [#45288](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45288) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)). AWS S3 and Minio are tested, but keep in mind that various S3-compatible services (GCS, R2, B2) may have subtle incompatibilities. This change also may require you to adjust the ACL to allow the `GetObjectAttributes` request.
* Forbid paths in timezone names. For example, a timezone name like `/usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Aden` is not allowed; the IANA timezone database name like `Asia/Aden` should be used. [#44225](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44225) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Queries combining equijoin and constant expressions (e.g., `JOIN ON t1.x = t2.x AND 1 = 1`) are forbidden due to incorrect results. [#44016](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44016) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)).


#### New Feature
* Dictionary source for extracting keys by traversing regular expressions tree. It can be used for User-Agent parsing. [#40878](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40878) ([Vage Ogannisian](https://github.com/nooblose)). [#43858](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43858) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).
* Added parametrized view functionality, now it's possible to specify query parameters for the View table engine. resolves [#40907](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/40907). [#41687](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41687) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Add `quantileInterpolatedWeighted`/`quantilesInterpolatedWeighted` functions. [#38252](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38252) ([Bharat Nallan](https://github.com/bharatnc)).
* Array join support for the `Map` type, like the function "explode" in Spark. [#43239](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43239) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Support SQL standard binary and hex string literals. [#43785](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43785) ([Mo Xuan](https://github.com/mo-avatar)).
* Allow formatting `DateTime` in Joda-Time style. Refer to [the Joda-Time docs](https://joda-time.sourceforge.net/apidocs/org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormat.html). [#43818](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43818) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Implemented a fractional second formatter (`%f`) for `formatDateTime`. [#44060](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44060) ([ltrk2](https://github.com/ltrk2)). [#44497](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44497) ([Alexander Gololobov](https://github.com/davenger)).
* Added `age` function to calculate the difference between two dates or dates with time values expressed as the number of full units. Closes [#41115](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41115). [#44421](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44421) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Add `Null` source for dictionaries. Closes [#44240](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44240). [#44502](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44502) ([mayamika](https://github.com/mayamika)).
* Allow configuring the S3 storage class with the `s3_storage_class` configuration option. Such as `<s3_storage_class>STANDARD/INTELLIGENT_TIERING</s3_storage_class>` Closes [#44443](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44443). [#44707](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44707) ([chen](https://github.com/xiedeyantu)).
* Insert default values in case of missing elements in JSON object while parsing named tuple. Add setting `input_format_json_defaults_for_missing_elements_in_named_tuple` that controls this behaviour. Closes [#45142](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/45142)#issuecomment-1380153217. [#45231](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45231) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Record server startup time in ProfileEvents (`ServerStartupMilliseconds`). Resolves [#43188](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43188). [#45250](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45250) ([SmitaRKulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Refactor and Improve streaming engines Kafka/RabbitMQ/NATS and add support for all formats, also refactor formats a bit: - Fix producing messages in row-based formats with suffixes/prefixes. Now every message is formatted completely with all delimiters and can be parsed back using input format. - Support block-based formats like Native, Parquet, ORC, etc. Every block is formatted as a separate message. The number of rows in one message depends on the block size, so you can control it via the setting `max_block_size`. - Add new engine settings `kafka_max_rows_per_message/rabbitmq_max_rows_per_message/nats_max_rows_per_message`. They control the number of rows formatted in one message in row-based formats. Default value: 1. - Fix high memory consumption in the NATS table engine. - Support arbitrary binary data in NATS producer (previously it worked only with strings contained \0 at the end) - Add missing Kafka/RabbitMQ/NATS engine settings in the documentation. - Refactor producing and consuming in Kafka/RabbitMQ/NATS, separate it from WriteBuffers/ReadBuffers semantic. - Refactor output formats: remove callbacks on each row used in Kafka/RabbitMQ/NATS (now we don't use callbacks there), allow to use IRowOutputFormat directly, clarify row end and row between delimiters, make it possible to reset output format to start formatting again - Add proper implementation in formatRow function (bonus after formats refactoring). [#42777](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42777) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Support reading/writing `Nested` tables as `List` of `Struct` in `CapnProto` format. Read/write `Decimal32/64` as `Int32/64`. Closes [#43319](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43319). [#43379](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43379) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Added a `message_format_string` column to `system.text_log`. The column contains a pattern that was used to format the message. [#44543](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44543) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)). This allows various analytics over the ClickHouse logs.
* Try to autodetect headers with column names (and maybe types) for CSV/TSV/CustomSeparated input formats.
Add settings input_format_tsv/csv/custom_detect_header that enable this behaviour (enabled by default). Closes [#44640](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44640). [#44953](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44953) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).

#### Experimental Feature
* Add an experimental inverted index as a new secondary index type for efficient text search. [#38667](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/38667) ([larryluogit](https://github.com/larryluogit)).
* Add experimental query result cache. [#43797](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43797) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Added extendable and configurable scheduling subsystem for IO requests (not yet integrated with IO code itself). [#41840](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/41840) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)). This feature does nothing at all, enjoy.
* Added `SYSTEM DROP DATABASE REPLICA` that removes metadata of a dead replica of a `Replicated` database. Resolves [#41794](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/41794). [#42807](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42807) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).

#### Performance Improvement
* Do not load inactive parts at startup of `MergeTree` tables. [#42181](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42181) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Improved latency of reading from storage `S3` and table function `s3` with large numbers of small files. Now settings `remote_filesystem_read_method` and `remote_filesystem_read_prefetch` take effect while reading from storage `S3`. [#43726](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43726) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Optimization for reading struct fields in Parquet/ORC files. Only the required fields are loaded. [#44484](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44484) ([lgbo](https://github.com/lgbo-ustc)).
* Two-level aggregation algorithm was mistakenly disabled for queries over the HTTP interface. It was enabled back, and it leads to a major performance improvement. [#45450](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45450) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Added mmap support for StorageFile, which should improve the performance of clickhouse-local. [#43927](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43927) ([pufit](https://github.com/pufit)).
* Added sharding support in HashedDictionary to allow parallel load (almost linear scaling based on number of shards). [#40003](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/40003) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Speed up query parsing. [#42284](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42284) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Always replace OR chain `expr = x1 OR ... OR expr = xN` to `expr IN (x1, ..., xN)` in the case where `expr` is a `LowCardinality` column. Setting `optimize_min_equality_disjunction_chain_length` is ignored in this case. [#42889](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/42889) ([Guo Wangyang](https://github.com/guowangy)).
* Slightly improve performance by optimizing the code around ThreadStatus. [#43586](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43586) ([Zhiguo Zhou](https://github.com/ZhiguoZh)).
* Optimize the column-wise ternary logic evaluation by achieving auto-vectorization. In the performance test of this [microbenchmark](https://github.com/ZhiguoZh/ClickHouse/blob/20221123-ternary-logic-opt-example/src/Functions/examples/associative_applier_perf.cpp), we've observed a peak **performance gain** of **21x** on the ICX device (Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 CPU). [#43669](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43669) ([Zhiguo Zhou](https://github.com/ZhiguoZh)).
* Avoid acquiring read locks in the `system.tables` table if possible. [#43840](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43840) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Optimize ThreadPool. The performance experiments of SSB (Star Schema Benchmark) on the ICX device (Intel Xeon Platinum 8380 CPU, 80 cores, 160 threads) shows that this change could effectively decrease the lock contention for ThreadPoolImpl::mutex by **75%**, increasing the CPU utilization and improving the overall performance by **2.4%**. [#44308](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44308) ([Zhiguo Zhou](https://github.com/ZhiguoZh)).
* Now the optimisation for predicting the hash table size is applied only if the cached hash table size is sufficiently large (thresholds were determined empirically and hardcoded). [#44455](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44455) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Small performance improvement for asynchronous reading from remote filesystems. [#44868](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44868) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Add fast path for: - `col like '%%'`; - `col like '%'`; - `col not like '%'`; - `col not like '%'`; - `match(col, '.*')`. [#45244](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45244) ([李扬](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* Slightly improve happy path optimisation in filtering (WHERE clause). [#45289](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45289) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Provide monotonicity info for `toUnixTimestamp64*` to enable more algebraic optimizations for index analysis. [#44116](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44116) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Allow the configuration of temporary data for query processing (spilling to disk) to cooperate with the filesystem cache (taking up the space from the cache disk) [#43972](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43972) ([Vladimir C](https://github.com/vdimir)). This mainly improves [ClickHouse Cloud](https://clickhouse.cloud/), but can be used for self-managed setups as well, if you know what to do.
* Make `system.replicas` table do parallel fetches of replicas statuses. Closes [#43918](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43918). [#43998](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43998) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Optimize memory consumption during backup to S3: files to S3 now will be copied directly without using `WriteBufferFromS3` (which could use a lot of memory). [#45188](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45188) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Add a cache for async block ids. This will reduce the number of requests of ZooKeeper when we enable async inserts deduplication. [#45106](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45106) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).

#### Improvement

* Use structure from insertion table in generateRandom without arguments. [#45239](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45239) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Allow to implicitly convert floats stored in string fields of JSON to integers in `JSONExtract` functions. E.g. `JSONExtract('{"a": "1000.111"}', 'a', 'UInt64')` -> `1000`, previously it returned 0. [#45432](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45432) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Added fields `supports_parallel_parsing` and `supports_parallel_formatting` to table `system.formats` for better introspection. [#45499](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/45499) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Improve reading CSV field in CustomSeparated/Template format. Closes [#42352](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42352) Closes [#39620](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/39620). [#43332](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43332) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Unify query elapsed time measurements. [#43455](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43455) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Improve automatic usage of structure from insertion table in table functions file/hdfs/s3 when virtual columns are present in a select query, it fixes the possible error `Block structure mismatch` or `number of columns mismatch`. [#43695](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43695) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Add support for signed arguments in the function `range`. Fixes [#43333](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43333). [#43733](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43733) ([sanyu](https://github.com/wineternity)).
* Remove redundant sorting, for example, sorting related ORDER BY clauses in subqueries. Implemented on top of query plan. It does similar optimization as `optimize_duplicate_order_by_and_distinct` regarding `ORDER BY` clauses, but more generic, since it's applied to any redundant sorting steps (not only caused by ORDER BY clause) and applied to subqueries of any depth. Related to [#42648](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/42648). [#43905](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/43905) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).

* Delay for INSERT can be calculated incorrectly, which can lead to always using `max_delay_to_insert` setting as delay instead of a correct value. Using simple formula `max_delay_to_insert * (parts_over_threshold/max_allowed_parts_over_threshold)` i.e. delay grows proportionally to parts over threshold. Closes [#44902](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/44902). [#44954](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/44954) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
