v1.8.1

What's New?

Features

• Updating to dbt-adapters~=1.2.0 (683)

Full Changelog: v1.8.0...v1.8.1

v1.8.0

This release carries a substantial structural change as it is the first release after moving to the new 'decoupled' dbt architecture; while today we retain a dependence on dbt-core so that users do not need to install/specify versions for both libraries, we have moved to depending on a shared abstraction layer between the adapter and dbt-core. As a result, we no longer need to match our feature version to that of dbt-core, and are free to adopt semantic versioning. No more releasing significant features like 'compute-per-model` as a patch version!

This release also brings improvements to the declaration and operation of Materialized Views and Streaming Tables, including the ability to schedule automatic refreshes.

A new feature introduced in this release is support for tags. To distinguish from dbt tags, which are metadata that is often used for selecting models in a dbt operation, these tags are named as databricks_tags in the model configuration.

Big thanks to dbt Labs for significant help during the development and testing of this release.

What's Changed

Features

• Support on_config_change for materialized views, expand the supported config options (536)
• Support on_config_change for streaming tables, expand the supported config options (569)
• Support insert overwrite on SQL Warehouses (623)
• Support Databricks tags at model level for tables/views/incrementals (631)

Under the Hood

• Upgrade databricks-sql-connector to 3.1.0 (593)
• Migrate to decoupled architecture (596)
• Finish migrating integration tests (623)
• Streamline the process of determining materialization types (655)
• Improve catalog performance by getting column description from project for UC (658)

v1.7.16

It was brought to my attention that 1.7.15 didn't fix what it was intended to; this version should actually fix the issue where instead of getting a meaningful exception message when a connection could be created, you would get the message 'conn is referenced before being initialized'.

What's Changed

• Fix issue with conn not initialized by @benc-db in #671

Full Changelog: v1.7.15...v1.7.16

v1.7.15

What's Changed

• Backport fix to log events by @benc-db in #666

Full Changelog: v1.7.14...v1.7.15

v1.8.0rc1

In concert with dbt Labs, we've decided the next release will be 1.8.0 after all. This release pulls everything that was in the 2.0.latest branch into 1.8.latest.

What's Changed

• Support for tags by @benc-db in #627
• Metadata gathering improvements by @benc-db in #655 and in #658

Everything from the 1.7.latest branch that had not yet made it to 1.8.latest

Full Changelog: v1.8.0b2...v1.8.0rc1

v1.7.14

Note: user configurable OAuth scopes currently only work for AWS, as the Databricks SDK does not let us override them for Azure. I'm working with the owning team to get that addressed.

What's Changed

• FIX #582: User Configurable OAuth Scopes in profiles.yml by @stevenayers in #641
• Fixing idle issue and improving debug logging by @benc-db in #648

New Contributors

• @stevenayers made their first contribution in #641
