Fixes

  • Fixed a regression introduced in 4.2 which prevented DELETE FROM ... statements with the subquery expression in the where clause from complete deletion of the matching partitions in partitioned tables.

  • Fixed an issue that prevented casts from DOUBLE PRECISION to REAL for the minimal supported REAL number -3.4028235e38.

  • Fixed an issue that prevented an access to the properties of object type arguments in JavaScript user-defined functions.

  • Fixed a regression introduced in 4.2 that could cause subscript expressions to fail with a Base argument to subscript must be an object, not null or Can't handle Symbol error.

  • Fixed an issue causing a node crash due to OOM when running the analyze on large tables.

  • Fixed an issue that caused queries involving a JOIN operation on system tables like sys.cluster to fail.

  • Changed the memory reservation and circuit breaker behavior for INSERT FROM QUERY operations to allow for more concurrent operations. After the change introduced in 4.2.5, individual operations could reserve too much memory, causing other operations to fail with a circuit breaker exception.
