Performance Improvements 🚀

  • Avoid re-querying Top N iterators that have no more results (up to 1.5X speedup)
  • Lazily load bitpacked columns (up to 2X speedup)
  • Use Arrow for fast field execution (up to 1.6X speedup)
  • Skip computing scores if not necessary during Top N queries

​
Aggregate Query Pushdown

We’re making further progress in our roadmap to push down aggregate queries. This release pushes down bucketing queries with GROUP BY or GROUP BY...ORDER BY.

​
New SQL UX

We are making progress on v2 of the new SQL UX. While not completed, 0.18.0 brings fuzzy, boost, and query builder function support to v2. The new UX is still in beta and we would appreciate any community testing/feedback.

​
Stability Improvements 💪

  • Various correctness fixes to Top N queries
  • Custom scans over partitioned tables don’t error if one of the partitioned tables is empty
