Incompatible Changes

  • None

New Features

  • Global: Added an invitation-based trial feature, allowing quick account registration with an invitation code.
  • Global: Introduced dynamic table task nodes, with support for operations management, monitoring, and alerting capabilities. Dynamic tables support incremental data processing and have incremental refresh optimization capabilities.
  • Global: Introduced streaming SQL task nodes, with support for operations management, monitoring, and alerting capabilities. Streaming SQL is a new task scheduling method that can provide sub-second or even millisecond data processing latency.
  • Data Synchronization: Offline synchronization now automatically generates table creation statements, with options to create partitioned tables.
  • Data Synchronization: Kafka real-time synchronization tasks now support defining source fields as variables or using computed columns.
  • Task Development: Added canvas (Dag) mode for task groups, allowing users to create/add task groups and establish dependencies in canvas mode; also supports batch submission of task groups.
  • Task Development: Supports setting workspace names via parameters in the URL.
  • Monitoring and Alerts: Added support for selecting specific weeks and days of the month for non-disturbance times.
  • Data Catalog: Exposed table lifecycle management in data asset management, allowing users to visually modify lifecycle ranges.
  • Data Catalog: Supports filtering by workspace.

Optimizations and Improvements

  • Global: Adjusted the left menu structure to expose the product's internationalization capabilities for switching between Chinese and English.
  • Global: Optimized table pagination display issues, defaulting to the top area when clicking to paginate.
  • Data Synchronization: Added a "validation configuration" feature for batch configuration based on file merging in multi-table real-time synchronization tasks, supporting legality checks for invalid data sources and source table primary keys, and providing information on tables that failed validation.
  • Data Synchronization: Optimized the behavior inconsistency of various metric monitoring charts in multi-table real-time tasks after stopping and restarting.
  • Data Synchronization: Data synchronization tasks now automatically reference the source table's comments when creating tables on the target end.
  • Task Development: Exposed the comment field information in the data tree when clicking to display table information.
  • Task Development: Optimized the external parameter area to address issues where excessive scheduling parameters obscure a large part of the development interface.
  • Operations Center: Task instances in periodic task details now support batch operations.
  • Operations Center: Exposed the "runtime" field information on instance nodes in the instance details page.
  • Data Assets: Added space-level selection capability on the data search page.
  • Job History: Optimized the memory capability of job history filter conditions, retaining filter conditions after clicking refresh.
  • Monitoring and Alerts: Non-disturbance dates now support filtering by day/month.

Bug Fixes

  • Task Development: Fixed an issue where the full download of SQL query results would return an error when clicking the button.
  • Data Assets: Fixed an issue where searching for information_schema would sometimes return empty results.
  • Operations Center: Fixed an issue where the overall failure and individual instance status of backfill tasks were inaccurately displayed in some cases.
  • Security Center: Fixed an issue where disabled users could illegally join workspaces and grant roles.

Known Limitations

  • Task Development: Does not support adding real-time task types to task groups, including real-time synchronization, multi-table real-time synchronization, dynamic tables, and streaming SQL.
