Release 472-e STS (17 Apr 2025)#

Starburst Enterprise platform (SEP) 472-e is the follow up SEP release to 471-e. It includes all improvements from the following Trino release:

This release is a short term support (STS) release.

Breaking changes#

  • Support for the spooling protocol is broken due to a regression introduced during recent changes. A fix will be included in the upcoming release. If your configuration depends on spooling, SEP recommends delaying your upgrade until the fix is available.

  • The following HTTP client property prefixes have been renamed:

    • workerInfo to worker-info

    • memoryManager to memory-manager

    If you use these properties in your configuration files, the old names are no longer recognized. Update your configurations to use the new names to avoid unexpected behavior.

  • The following Hive metastore HTTP client properties have been removed:

    • hive.metastore.http.client.additional-headers

    • hive.metastore.http.client.authentication.type

    • hive.metastore.http.client.bearer-token

    • hive.metastore.http.client.read-timeout

    If your current configuration includes any of these properties, update your configuration to remove them. If left in place, you may experience connection and authentication issues when interacting with the Hive metastore.

  • Effective May 23, 2025, AWS Glue no longer allows modifying the table_type parameter of an existing table. Any attempt to update an existing table’s table_type, such as migration procedures, results in a validation error from AWS Glue. If you wish to change the table_type parameter, you must use a CTAS operation to create a new table with the desired table_type. Rename the new table to match the original table name and adjust dependent resources as needed.

General#

  • Added support for adjusting identifier constraints in schema discovery.

  • Improved dark mode support for the Starburst Enterprise web UI.

  • Improved performance for queries with large amounts of intermediate data, especially those involving complex joins.

  • Updated Parquet libraries to address CVE-2025-30065, though Starburst was not impacted because SEP uses a custom Parquet reader.

Security#

  • Fixed an issue that caused query failure when attempting to create a materialized view that referenced a catalog with impersonation enabled.

  • Added support for the INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE write operations for Unity Catalog as a metastore.

Hive connector#

  • Added support for the INSERT write operation for Unity Catalog as a metastore.

Iceberg connector#
