Release 0.272
=============

**Details**
===========

General Changes
_______________
* Fix parameter ordering for prepared statement queries using a WITH clause.
* Improve performance by enabling :doc:`/optimizer/cost-based-optimizations` by default.
* Add ability to stream data for partial aggregation instead of building hash tables.
    This improves the performance of aggregation when the data is already ordered by the group-by keys.
    Streaming aggregation can be enabled with the ``streaming_for_partial_aggregation_enabled`` session property or the ``streaming-for-partial-aggregation-enabled`` configuration property.
* Add an adaptive stage scheduling policy that switches to phased execution mode once a query's stage count exceeds a configurable upper bound.
    This can be enabled by setting the session property ``execution_policy`` to ``phased`` and the stage count limit can be configured by the session property ``max_stage_count_for_eager_scheduling``.
* Add :func:`!secure_random()` function to return a cryptographically secure random number.

Hive Connector Changes
______________________
* Fix integer overflow exception in Parquet writer when writing files larger than ~2 GB.
* Add ability to do streaming aggregation for Hive table scans to improve query performance with aggregation when group-by keys are the same as order-by keys.
    Cases where group-by keys are a subset of order-by keys can't enable streaming aggregation for now.
    This can be enabled with the ``streaming_aggregation_enabled`` session property or the ``hive.streaming-aggregation-enabled`` configuration property.
* Add ability to disable splitting file in Hive connector.
    This can be disabled with the ``file_splittable`` session property or the ``hive.file-splittable`` configuration property.
* Add support for using Parquet page-level statistics to skip pages.
    This feature can be enabled by setting the ``hive.parquet-column-index-filter-enabled`` configuration property.
* Add support for metadata-based listing and bootstrap for Hudi tables.

JDBC Changes
____________
* Add a new parameter ``timeZoneID`` which will set the time zone used for the timestamp columns. (See :doc:`/installation/jdbc` :issue:`16680`).

MongoDB Connector Changes
_________________________
* Fix the spelling of the write concern option ``JOURNAL_SAFE`` for the property ``mongodb.write-concern``.

Iceberg Connector Changes
_________________________
* Add support for concurrent insertion from the same Presto cluster or multiple Presto clusters which share the same Metastore.

Pinot Connector Changes
_______________________
* Add support for querying Pinot ``JSON`` type.

Lark Sheets Connector Changes
_____________________________
* Add Lark Sheets connector.
