# 2026 Changelog

### <a id="262"></a> ClickHouse release 26.2, 2026-02-26. [Presentation](https://presentations.clickhouse.com/2026-release-26.2/), [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qHba08vNfo)

#### Backward Incompatible Change
* Deduplication is turned ON for all inserts by default. It was OFF before for async inserts and for MV's, but it was ON for sync inserts. The goal is to have the same defaults for both ways of inserts. If you have deduplication explicitly disabled on your cluster, you have to explicitly set `deduplicate_insert='backward_compatible_choice'` to keep the old behavior. The same with `deduplicate_blocks_in_dependent_materialized_views`. [#95970](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95970) ([Sema Checherinda](https://github.com/CheSema)).
* Improved storage format of statistics. All statistics are now stored in a single file. [#93414](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93414) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)). If you didn't explicitly enable table statistics, you can ignore this item.
* Limit S3(Azure)Queue in-memory metadata. System tables are renamed from `azure_queue` to `azure_queue_metadata_cache` and `system.s3queue` to `s3queue_metadata_cache`. [#95809](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95809) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Previously, applying a function to a `Variant` column silently returned NULLs when a variant sub-type was incompatible with the function; now it throws an exception, which may break queries that relied on the silent NULL behavior. [#95811](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95811) ([Bharat Nallan](https://github.com/bharatnc)).
* `DATE` columns from PostgreSQL are now inferred as `Date32` in ClickHouse (in previous versions they were inferred as `Date`, which led to overflow of the values outside of a narrow range). Allow inserting `Date32` values back to PostgreSQL. Closes [#73084](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/73084). [#95999](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95999) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* The semantics of the `do_not_merge_across_partitions_select_final` setting were made more obvious. Previously, the feature could be automatically enabled when the setting was not explicitly set in the configs. It caused confusion repeatedly and, unfortunately, led to some issues in production. Now, the rules are simpler: `do_not_merge_across_partitions_select_final=1` enables the functionality unconditionally. If `do_not_merge_across_partitions_select_final=0`, then automatic is used only if the new setting `enable_automatic_decision_for_merging_across_partitions_for_final=1` and not used otherwise. To preserve the old behaviour as much as possible, the defaults were set to `do_not_merge_across_partitions_select_final=0` and `enable_automatic_decision_for_merging_across_partitions_for_final=1`. [#96110](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96110) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* When creating an S3 table with explicitly specified columns, ClickHouse now validates that those column names actually exist in the remote file's schema. Queries that previously worked with mismatched column names will now fail at table creation time. This closes [#96089](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/96089). [#96194](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96194) ([Konstantin Vedernikov](https://github.com/scanhex12)).
* Forbid using subqueries in ORDER BY and other table key expressions. [#96847](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96847) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Enable `apply_row_policy_after_final` by default. Initially, when `optimize_move_to_prewhere_if_final=0`, both ROW POLICY and PREWHERE respect FINAL and were applied after FINAL. This was broken by [#87303](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/87303), which ignored the `optimize_move_to_prewhere_if_final` for the ROW POLICY filter. To fix this, this PR enables the setting `apply_row_policy_after_final` introduced in [#91065](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/91065). With `apply_row_policy_after_final` enabled, ROW POLICY would continue to respect FINAL by default, as previously. This PR is an incompatible change because it changes the behaviour for `optimize_move_to_prewhere_if_final=1`. Now, to get the ROW POLICY applied before FINAL, `apply_row_policy_after_final` should be used instead of `optimize_move_to_prewhere_if_final`. [#97279](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97279) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* The `Date` type is now serialized as Arrow's native `date32` type in Arrow/ArrowStream formats, instead of `uint16`. Tools like PyArrow will now correctly see the column as a date type. The old behavior can be restored with the `output_format_arrow_date_as_uint16` setting. Reading old Arrow files that used `uint16` for `Date` columns is still supported. [#96860](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96860) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).

#### New Feature
* Users can now use ClickStack (an observability UI) directly from ClickHouse, useful for debugging and local development. [#96597](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96597) ([Aaron Knudtson](https://github.com/knudtty)).
* Support time-based one-time password (TOTP) as an authentication method. [#71273](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/71273) ([Vladimir Cherkasov](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Add `lazy_load_tables` database setting. When enabled, tables are not loaded during database startup — a lightweight `StorageTableProxy` is created instead and the real table engine is materialized on first access. [#96283](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96283) ([xiaohuanlin](https://github.com/xiaohuanlin)).
* Added `input_format_max_block_wait_ms` setting to emit data blocks by timeout and allowed processing of remaining data when an HTTP connection is closed unexpectedly. [#94509](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94509) ([Mostafa Mohamed Salah](https://github.com/Sasao4o)).
* Google BigLake catalog integration. This closes [#95339](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/95339). [#97104](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97104) ([Konstantin Vedernikov](https://github.com/scanhex12)).
* Added system table `system.tokenizers` which shows all available tokenizers. [#96753](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96753) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Add new system table `system.user_defined_functions` to monitor UDF loading status and configuration. [#90340](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/90340) ([Xu Jia](https://github.com/XuJia0210)).
* Add `system.jemalloc_stats` table exposing jemalloc memory allocator statistics (via `malloc_stats_print`) for diagnosing memory usage on servers built with jemalloc. Also add a `/jemalloc.html` HTTP endpoint on the ClickHouse HTTP interface for interactive visualization of these statistics. [#97077](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97077) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Added `system.jemalloc_profile_text` table for reading and analyzing jemalloc heap profiles. The output format is controlled by the `jemalloc_profile_text_output_format` setting (raw, symbolized, or collapsed; default collapsed). Inline frame resolution is controlled by `jemalloc_profile_text_symbolize_with_inline` (when enabled, inline frames are included at the cost of slower symbolization; when disabled, they are skipped for faster output). For the collapsed format, `jemalloc_profile_text_collapsed_use_count` controls whether stacks are weighted by live allocation count (true) or live bytes (false, default). This enables easier memory profiling and flame graph visualization of jemalloc heap profiles. Fixes [#93248](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/93248). [#97218](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97218) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Add the `default_dictionary_database` setting, which lets ClickHouse resolve external dictionaries referenced without a database qualifier in a specified default database. This simplifies migration from XML-defined global dictionaries to SQL-defined per-database dictionaries—allowing existing dictionary queries (e.g. dictGet('name', …)) to continue working without modification. [#91412](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/91412) ([Dmitrii Plotnikov](https://github.com/dimbo4ka)).
* Support auxiliary zookeeper for `DatabaseReplicated`. [#91683](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/91683) ([RinChanNOW](https://github.com/RinChanNOWWW)).
* Implement new table function `primes` and new system table `system.primes` that contains prime numbers in ascending order. Closes [#90839](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/90839). [#92776](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92776) ([Nihal Z. Miaji](https://github.com/nihalzp)).
* Async inserts support parallel quorum. The inserted data is replicated to the quorum. If duplicates are found, query waits until previously inserted data is replicated as well. [#93356](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93356) ([Sema Checherinda](https://github.com/CheSema)).
* Added functions `colorOKLABToSRGB`, `colorSRGBToOKLAB` to convert value from sRGB to OKLAB and vice versa. [#93361](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93361) ([Pranav Tiwari](https://github.com/pranavt84)).
* A new `deduplicate_insert` setting which overrides `insert_deduplicate` and `async_insert_deduplicate`. [#94413](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94413) ([Sema Checherinda](https://github.com/CheSema)).
* Server setting `insert_deduplication_version` makes it possible to migrate on unified deduplication hash. [#95409](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95409) ([Sema Checherinda](https://github.com/CheSema)).
* Add `xxh3_128` hashing function. [#96055](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96055) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Added `OPTIMIZE <table> DRY RUN PARTS <part names>` query to simulate merges without committing the result part. It may be useful for testing purposes: verifying merge correctness in the new version, deterministically reproducing merge-related bugs, and reliably benchmarking merge performance. [#96122](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96122) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Add a new check enabled by default via setting `check_named_collection_dependencies` to avoid dropping named collections used by tables. [#96181](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96181) ([Pablo Marcos](https://github.com/pamarcos)).
* Added `system.fail_points` to inspect existing failpoints in the server and whether they are enabled or not. This is going to help automate testing. [#96762](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96762) ([Pedro Ferreira](https://github.com/PedroTadim)).
* Add role-based access to Glue catalog. Use settings `aws_role_arn` and, optionally, `aws_role_session_name`. [#90825](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/90825) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Added a setting `add_minmax_index_for_temporal_columns` that, when enabled, automatically creates minmax indexes for all `Date`, `Date32`, `Time`, `Time64`, `DateTime`, and `DateTime64` columns. [#93355](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93355) ([Michael Jarrett](https://github.com/EmeraldShift)).
* Support for extended table aliases for JOINs (queries like `SELECT * FROM (SELECT 1) AS t(a) JOIN (SELECT 1) AS u(b) ON a = b`). Closes [#95131](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/95131). [#95331](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95331) ([Yarik Briukhovetskyi](https://github.com/yariks5s)).
* Added support for `ALTER TABLE RENAME COLUMN` for Iceberg tables. Previously only `ADD COLUMN, DROP COLUMN, and MODIFY COLUMN` were supported. [#97455](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97455) ([murphy-4o](https://github.com/murphy-4o)).

#### Experimental Feature
* The text index is now GA. [#96794](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96794) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* The `QBit` data type for quantized bit-packed vector storage (used for approximate nearest-neighbor search) is now generally available and no longer requires enabling an experimental setting. [#95358](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95358) ([Raufs Dunamalijevs](https://github.com/rienath)).
* Vector search in ClickHouse can now use replicas in the cluster to _distribute_ the load and search of vector index parts. This enables ClickHouse to support large vector indexes that exceed the memory capacity of a single VM. [#95876](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95876) ([Shankar Iyer](https://github.com/shankar-iyer)).
* Add server-side AST fuzzer controlled by `ast_fuzzer_runs` and `ast_fuzzer_any_query` settings. When enabled, the server runs randomized mutations of each query after its normal execution, discarding the results. [#97568](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97568) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add `iif` function to the experimental KQL dialect. [#94790](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94790) ([happyso](https://github.com/sunyeongchoi)).
* Schema inference now respects `allow_experimental_nullable_tuple_type`. When enabled, it allows inferred tuple types to be `Nullable(Tuple(...))`, so missing nested objects can become `NULL` instead of a tuple of `NULL` elements. [#95525](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95525) ([Nihal Z. Miaji](https://github.com/nihalzp)).
* The `use_statistics_cache` setting is now enabled by default, so column statistics are cached in memory to speed up query optimization without needing to reload them from each part. [#95950](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95950) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).

#### Performance Improvement
* Allow any deterministic expression in Primary Key to be used for data skipping (e.g. `ORDER BY cityHash64(user_id)`/ `ORDER BY length(user_id)`). For deterministic expressions, ClickHouse can apply the expression to query constants and use the result in the primary key index for predicates like `=`, `IN`, and `has`. If the expression is also injective (e.g. `ORDER BY hex(p)` or `ORDER BY reverse(tuple(reverse(p), hex(p)))`), we can effectively use the index for the negated forms: `!=`, `NOT IN`, and `NOT has`. Closes [#10685](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/10685). Closes [#82161](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/82161). [#92952](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92952) ([Nihal Z. Miaji](https://github.com/nihalzp)).
* Improved storage format of statistics. All statistics are now stored in a single file. [#93414](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93414) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Allow parallelized read for remote table engines/functions in the filesystem cache. [#71781](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/71781) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Allow using userspace page cache with local files and object storage table functions. [#77874](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/77874) ([Michael Kolupaev](https://github.com/al13n321)).
* Avoid unnecessary memcpy in userspace page cache. [#77884](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/77884) ([Michael Kolupaev](https://github.com/al13n321)).
* The default for `concurrent_threads_scheduler` is now `max_min_fair` instead of `fair_round_robin`. This improves fairness under high load by prioritizing queries with fewer allocated slots, so short-running queries aren't penalized by long-running ones. [#95300](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95300) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)).
* If a `FINAL` query used primary key condition for filtering followed by skip indexes for other conditions, the `PrimaryKeyExpand` processing step will now only check the initial shortlisted primary key ranges for intersection. [#94903](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94903) ([Shankar Iyer](https://github.com/shankar-iyer)).
* When using parallel replicas with table functions like `s3(...)`, queries with a single subquery wrapping the table function are now automatically parallelized across replicas, whereas previously only direct table function references were parallelized. Closes [#92264](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/92264). [#96332](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96332) ([phulv94](https://github.com/phulv94)).
* Enable splitting data and system files in cache into separate segments. [#87834](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/87834) ([MikhailBurdukov](https://github.com/MikhailBurdukov)).
* Speed up some hash join operations by implementing dynamic dispatch for `ColumnVector::replicate`. [#79573](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/79573) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Performance improvement for parallel hash join in cases of complex predicates. Previously, we were processing non-joined rows in one thread, which is suboptimal the idea of the optimization is to parallelize the processing of the non-joined rows across multiple threads. Can be toggled by the `parallel_non_joined_rows_processing` setting. Enabled by default. [#92068](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92068) ([Yarik Briukhovetskyi](https://github.com/yariks5s)).
* Slightly optimize parsing of JSON type. [#93614](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93614) ([Pavel Kruglov](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Improve memory footprint of AST. Optimization makes sense as fields are not used when highlighting is not used and there is no VALUES parsing. [#93974](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93974) ([Ilya Yatsishin](https://github.com/qoega)).
* Optimize memory consumption of named Tuple AST objects. Place column names as strings in tuple object instead of having them in generic AST literal nodes. [#94704](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94704) ([Ilya Yatsishin](https://github.com/qoega)).
* Devirtualization is improved with additional linker options. [#94737](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94737) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Improve clone replica performance for ReplicatedMergeTree tables with many parts by batching ZooKeeper requests. [#94847](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94847) ([c-end](https://github.com/c-end)).
* When read step already has PREWHERE filters a new filter couldn't be added. This change postpones PREWHERE optimization until after JOIN runtime filter optimization so that runtime filters can be also pushed to PREWHERE. [#95838](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95838) ([Alexander Gololobov](https://github.com/davenger)).
* Speedup `T64` codec compression by using dynamic dispatch on x86. [#95881](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95881) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Speed up `uniq` over numeric types by batching inserts when possible (not null, not -If, no GROUP BY, no IPv6 or String). [#95904](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95904) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Low-level optimizations for Keeper: `ZooKeeper::observeOperations` has been found to account for >20% of the ZooKeeper receive thread CPU consumption. This change addresses that by: 1. For `AggregatedZooKeeperLog::stats`, use `CityHash64` instead of `SipHash` which is >10x faster. 2. For `Coordination::ErrorCounter`, use `std::array<std::atomic<UInt32>, N>` instead of `std::unordered_map` and `std::mutex`. [#95962](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95962) ([Miсhael Stetsyuk](https://github.com/mstetsyuk)).
* Remove 64-byte alignment for ProfileEvents::Counter to save memory. [#96097](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96097) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Memory optimization: trim size of `CachedOnDiskReadBufferFromFile` structure 50x. [#96098](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96098) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Don't copy old data on hash table resizing if it's empty. [#96180](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96180) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Support JOIN runtime filters for `RIGHT OUTER` JOINs. [#96183](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96183) ([Hechem Selmi](https://github.com/m-selmi)).
* The optimization `enable_join_runtime_filters` is now the default. [#89314](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/89314) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Previously, text index direct read optimization was applied only when all parts had a materialized text index. This PR adds partial support: if some parts have a materialized text index, those parts will use it, while parts without a materialized text index will fall back to executing the original filter expression. [#96411](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96411) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Added `minmax` secondary indexes on time columns and `bloom_filter` indexes on `query_id`/`initial_query_id` columns to system log tables for faster filtering. [#96712](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96712) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Lazy materialization optimization is now applied to all branches of a `UNION ALL` query, not just the first one. Queries that combine multiple sorted and limited reads from different `MergeTree` tables via `UNION ALL` will now benefit from deferred column reading on every branch, reducing I/O. [#96832](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96832) ([Federico Ginosa](https://github.com/menxit)).
* Optimize minmax skip index computation during INSERT by removing an unnecessary data copy and enabling vectorized min/max calculation for numeric columns. [#97392](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97392) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Storage `DeltaLake` now takes `count()` result from delta lake metadata and shows correct table stats in system.tables (total bytes/rows). [#96190](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96190) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* The unused columns are removed also from the reading step in case of reading from a MergeTree. It is especially useful when a filter is pushed down into `PREWHERE`. [#89982](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/89982) ([János Benjamin Antal](https://github.com/antaljanosbenjamin)).
* Improved processing `SHOW TABLES` query by fetching only names of tables and improved getLightweightTablesIterator to return structure containing only table names. resolves [#93835](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/93835). [#94467](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94467) ([Smita Kulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Improve `assumeNotNull`, `coalesce`, `ifNull` to enable primary key and skip index pruning for range predicates when key columns are wrapped in these functions. Closes [#94689](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/94689). [#94754](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94754) ([Nihal Z. Miaji](https://github.com/nihalzp)).
* Add with_data & with_stat extension to getChildren Keeper request. This allows fetching not only the list of children, but also their `stat` and/or `data` in a single operation. [#94826](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94826) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* The index analysis is done only once (in most cases) regardless of whether we end up executing a local plan or a plan with parallel replicas. [#94854](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94854) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Allow to enable distributed index analysis based on amount of parts (`distributed_index_analysis_min_parts_to_activate`) and indexes size (`distributed_index_analysis_min_indexes_size_to_activate`). [#95216](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95216) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Enable PREWHERE optimization for Iceberg tables. [#95476](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95476) ([Konstantin Vedernikov](https://github.com/scanhex12)).
* Reduce the memory footprint of some AST classes. [#95514](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95514) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Limit the number of pipeline streams generated with `split_intersecting_parts_ranges_into_layers` enabled. Helps to avoid excessive memory consumption. [#96478](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96478) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Implement equivalent sets optimization for multiple joins. Queries with multiple consecutive `INNER JOIN` operations now benefit from improved filter pushdown optimization. When tables are joined on equivalent columns (e.g., `t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id JOIN t3 ON t2.id = t3.id WHERE t1.id > 10`), filters applied to any table in the chain are automatically pushed down to all tables. Close [#96550](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/96550). [#96596](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96596) ([Vladimir Cherkasov](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Optimize delta lake metadata scan. Uses changes from delta-kernel PR https://github.com/delta-io/delta-kernel-rs/pull/1827. [#96686](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96686) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* In Replicated database, don't update the cached cluster for every dummy query. [#96897](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96897) ([Tuan Pham Anh](https://github.com/tuanpach)).
* Use the primary key index when filtering with `startsWithUTF8` if the prefix contains only ASCII characters. [#97055](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97055) ([vkcku](https://github.com/vkcku)).

#### Improvement
* Add OpenTelemetry tracing for Keeper requests. [#91332](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/91332) ([Miсhael Stetsyuk](https://github.com/mstetsyuk)).
* New configuration options: `logger.startup_console_level` & `logger.shutdown_console_level` to allow for overriding the console log level during the startup & shutdown of ClickHouse respectively. [#95919](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95919) ([Garrett Thomas](https://github.com/garrettthomaskth)).
* Respect command-line overrides when reloading configuration. Closes [#80294](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/80294). [#80295](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/80295) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Allow key-value overrides for named collection parameters in `mongodb` table function. [#89616](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/89616) ([vanchaklar](https://github.com/vanchaklar)).
* The read-in-order optimization for Iceberg tables now works with complex sorting functions like `icebergBucket` and `icebergTruncate`, not just simple column references. [#90256](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/90256) ([Konstantin Vedernikov](https://github.com/scanhex12)).
* Add a new column named parts_postpone_reasons in system.mutations to improve diagnostics, which shows the parts postpone reasons. [#92206](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92206) ([Shaohua Wang](https://github.com/tiandiwonder)).
* Track changes in the number of rows to read (due to inserts/deletes or query condition cache usage) in `DataflowStatisticsCache`. [#93636](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93636) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Support SYSTEM RESET DDL WORKER [ON CLUSTER] query. It requests to reset the state of DDLWorker in its main thread. It is helpful to refresh the replica active when host IDs are updated. [#93780](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93780) ([Tuan Pham Anh](https://github.com/tuanpach)).
* Support `mutation_ids` in `system.part_log` for event type of `MUTATE_PART` and `MUTATE_PART_START`. [#93811](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93811) ([Shaohua Wang](https://github.com/tiandiwonder)).
* Background operations (Mutate, Merge) can now be configured independently via 'background' profile. Previously such operations shared settings with regular queries via 'default' profile. [#93905](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93905) ([Arsen Muk](https://github.com/arsenmuk)).
* Add more information to `system.crash_log`. [#94112](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94112) [#95857](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95857) ([Miсhael Stetsyuk](https://github.com/mstetsyuk)).
* Added new `QueryNonInternal` metric to track the number of executing non-internal queries. This metric is exposed as `ClickHouseMetrics_QueryNonInternal` and helps operators monitor query concurrency against the `max_concurrent_queries` limit, which only applies to non-internal queries. [#94284](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94284) ([Ashwath Singh](https://github.com/ashwath)).
* Support input bytes statistics collection for columns from compact parts in `RuntimeDataflowStatisticsCacheUpdater`. [#94626](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94626) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Add a check for Keeper misconfiguration leading to cluster assembly failures. Closes [#60932](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/60932). [#94682](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94682) ([Konstantin Bogdanov](https://github.com/thevar1able)).
* Improve JSON prefixes deserialization during part loading. [#94848](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94848) ([Pavel Kruglov](https://github.com/Avogar)).

* Added the `throw_on_unmatched_row_policies` configuration option which, when enabled, throws an exception if a user queries a table that has row policies but none of them apply to that user — preventing the ambiguous behavior of returning all rows due to access control misconfiguration. [#95014](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95014) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Dynamic update s3 access tokens in long queries with unity catalog. This closes [#93981](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/93981). [#95069](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95069) ([Konstantin Vedernikov](https://github.com/scanhex12)).
* Disable jemalloc's dirty page decay if ClickHouse is under sustained memory pressure for `memory_worker_decay_adjustment_period_ms` milliseconds. Enable jemalloc's dirty page decay back if ClickHouse is working under normal conditions for same amount of time. [#95145](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95145) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* S3Queue auxiliary Zookeeper support using `keeper_path` setting from s3Queue. [#95203](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95203) ([Diego Nieto](https://github.com/lesandie)).
* Respect `max_parts_to_merge_at_once` in TTL drop part merges. [#95315](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95315) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Add `connection_address` and `connection_port` to query_log to reflect physical connection (`address` and `port` are replaced when connected through proxy and auth_use_forwarded_address=1). [#95471](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95471) ([Yakov Olkhovskiy](https://github.com/yakov-olkhovskiy)).
* Fix incorrect memory accounting for the query conditions cache. The key problem was that it didn't take into account the cache key that composed of several strings (like part_name, the table id and the whole SQL condition). [#95478](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95478) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Server started with the embedded configuration will allow to manipulate users and grants, saving them to the `access` directory, as the regular configuration does. This improves testing. Also enabled all access_control_improvements in the embedded config and in clickhouse-local. [#95481](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95481) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Improved S3 authentication error messages to include a hint to check credentials when access is denied. [#95648](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95648) ([Gerald Latkovic](https://github.com/batkovic75)).
* Enable statistics cache and set the update period of cache to 300s. [#95841](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95841) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).
* Add component name to `system.aggregated_zookeeper_log`. [#95882](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95882) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).

* Delta Lake is now available on macOS. Closes #95979. [#95985](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95985) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* In previous versions, when combining conflicting ALTER expressions with UPDATE and RENAME COLUMN, a logical error was thrown instead of a proper exception. Closes [#70678](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/70678). [#96022](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96022) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Improve the help output for all ClickHouse applications and add a --no-sudo option with a few fixes. This is a continuation of [#58244](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/58244) from [Ilya Yatsishin](https://github.com/qoega). [#96025](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96025) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add `distanceCosine` alias for `cosineDistance` because all other distance functions already have alias of this form. [#96065](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96065) ([Raufs Dunamalijevs](https://github.com/rienath)).
* Add support for the `with_data` Keeper extension to improve table fetching in Database Replicated. [#96090](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96090) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Update chdig to [v26.2.1](https://github.com/azat/chdig/releases/tag/v26.2.1) (new features and MacOS support). [#96113](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96113) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Improve filter pushdown for `numbers` and `primes`. ClickHouse can now derive conservative value bounds from `WHERE` conditions when exact bounds cannot be derived, and restrict sequence generation accordingly (for example, for `WHERE number % 5 < 2 AND number > 100 AND number < 300`, ClickHouse will only generate numbers between 100 and 300, then apply the predicate), avoiding unbounded scans. Closes [#84853](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/84853). Closes [#93913](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/93913). [#96115](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96115) ([Nihal Z. Miaji](https://github.com/nihalzp)).
* The formatter previously wrapped SELECT in parentheses when a `COMMENT` clause was present to disambiguate parsing. Instead, output `COMMENT` before `AS SELECT`, which eliminates the ambiguity without parentheses. [#96293](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96293) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* The `allow_impersonate_user` config setting is now located inside the `access_control_improvements` section rather than being a standalone server setting. [#96451](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96451) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Make `core_dump.size_limit` configuration setting hot-reloadable, to avoid having to restart servers for configuration changes to take place. [#96524](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96524) ([Miсhael Stetsyuk](https://github.com/mstetsyuk)).
* Improves CPU and real-time profiler interoperability with socket timeouts. [#96601](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96601) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)).
* Prevent the resurrection of dropped data if ADD COLUMN is run quickly after the DROP COLUMN mutation. [#96713](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96713) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Change `function_id` type in `system.instrumentation` from LowCardinality(Int32) to Int32. [#96726](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96726) (Copilot).
* Synchronous waiting for mutations will respect query cancellation and time limits. [#96756](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96756) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Added system command `SYSTEM RELOAD DELTA KERNEL TRACING <level>` to be able to change delta-kernel logging, which can be useful for debugging. [#96763](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96763) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Filtering by IP address family, i.e. `dns_allow_resolve_names_to_ipv4/ipv6` settings, are applied even if DNS cache is disabled. [#96810](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96810) ([c-end](https://github.com/c-end)).
* Better jemalloc introspection. [#96840](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96840) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fix `/play` Web UI throwing `QUERY_CACHE_USED_WITH_SYSTEM_TABLE` when querying system tables. [#96869](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96869) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Improve Web UI: change favicon to indicate running query state; display errors from auxiliary queries (loading databases and tables) instead of silently ignoring them. Closes [#85055](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/85055). [#96883](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96883) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Make the left panel in `/play` UI clickable to toggle the database list. [#96884](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96884) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* `DROP DATABASE` now drops tables in reverse dependency order, improving crash-safety when the database contains tables with loading dependencies (e.g. `Distributed` tables using `joinGet`). [#97057](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97057) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Bump yaml-cpp to prevent skipping invalid YAML. [#97333](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97333) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Show a loading indicator in the `play.html` sidebar while tables are being fetched. [#97531](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97531) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add a copy-to-clipboard button for raw query results in the built-in web UI (play.html). [#97532](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97532) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix query obfuscator (`clickhouse-format --obfuscate`) to produce parseable SQL in more cases. [#97584](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97584) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).

#### Bug Fix (user-visible misbehavior in an official stable release)
* After metadata-only ALTERs, such as extending the elements of Enums, the optimization of aggregation with projection may end up producing an exception. [#84143](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/84143) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Materialized views now use the database where they were created as execution context, meaning that: - it is possible to omit explicit database qualification on names referred in view's select query - if no explicit database qualification is given, the same database where the materialized view was created is assumed. [#88193](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/88193) ([Dmitry Kovalev](https://github.com/dk-github)).
* Fix query parameter substitution in CREATE USER authentication methods when using ON CLUSTER. Query parameters in authentication methods (e.g., password) were not being replaced, causing UNKNOWN_QUERY_PARAMETER errors on remote nodes. [#92777](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92777) ([xiaohuanlin](https://github.com/xiaohuanlin)).
* Fixed inconsistencies in text index analysis for `has`, `mapContainsKey`, and `mapContainsValue` functions. Previously, queries using these functions could return different results depending on whether the expression was evaluated with or without a text index. [#93578](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93578) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Fix crash when attaching a table to a `MaterializedPostgreSQL` database if `dropReplicationSlot` throws during stack unwinding. [#96871](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96871) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Backups could crash the server if you do many concurrent backups clashing over the same files. [#93659](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93659) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fixes queries with parallel replicas and JOIN with non-MT table. Closes [#92056](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/92056). [#93902](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93902) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
* Fixes an issue when Iceberg columns with dot in names returned NULL as values. [#94335](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94335) ([Mikhail Koviazin](https://github.com/mkmkme)).
* Fixed handling of UTF8 strings in `stringJaccardIndexUTF8` and improve performance. [#94613](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94613) ([Joanna Hulboj](https://github.com/jh0x)).
* Fix possible overflows in `WITH FILL STALENESS` (that leads to UB or/and endless loops). Fix possible endless loop due to big jumps. Add old analyzer support (mostly for stress tests). [#94663](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94663) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fix possible hung distributed queries when hostnames resolve to multiple addresses and a remote replica freezes. [#94726](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94726) ([c-end](https://github.com/c-end)).
* Fix invalid result on joining multiple table expressions, when leftmost table expression is a `-Cluster` table function. Resolves [#89996](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/89996). [#94748](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94748) ([Konstantin Bogdanov](https://github.com/thevar1able)).
* Fix incorrect primary key and skip index pruning for predicates involving `toWeek`, `toYearWeek`, `toStartOfWeek`, `toLastDayOfWeek`, and `toDayOfWeek`, and fix exceptions in some of these functions for valid queries with `LowCardinality(String)`. [#94816](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94816) ([Nihal Z. Miaji](https://github.com/nihalzp)).
* Remove unnecessary skip permissions check in `ATTACH` queries for a view with SQL Security. This prevents potential privilege escalation when a user attaches a view with a definer without validating required access. [#94865](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94865) ([pufit](https://github.com/pufit)).
* Fixes a crash during `ReplicatedMergeTree` startup caused by concurrent removal of `delete_tmp_*` directories. [#94892](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94892) ([myeongjun](https://github.com/myeongjjun)).
* Fix `INSERT` into Iceberg tables with materialized views losing deduplication information, which caused an exception. [#94938](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94938) ([Daniil Ivanik](https://github.com/divanik)).
* Fix a bug where `SYSTEM DROP QUERY CACHE TAG 'TAGNAME' ON CLUSTER <CLUSTERNAME>` would drop the full cache on the cluster. [#94978](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94978) ([Rory Crispin](https://github.com/RoryCrispin)).
* Preserve constant index granularity (use_const_adaptive_granularity) after Vertical merges (v2 with a fix for Nested, and in general). [#95013](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95013) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fixes race in filesystem cache in version 26.1 after [ClickHouse/ClickHouse[#82764](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/82764)](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/82764). [#95042](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95042) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Fix postgresql() table function canceling by KILL QUERY and cancel query (Ctrl+C) in clickhouse-client. [#95136](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95136) ([Roman Vasin](https://github.com/rvasin)).
* Fixed type inference for qualified columns from source tables when multiple joins are used with `USING` clause. Previously, subsequent joins incorrectly updated types of underlying source columns to a common supertype even when the column was not involved in that join (e.g., in `SELECT t2.a FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 USING (a) LEFT JOIN t3 USING (a)`, the `t2.a` column is only used by the first join, so its type should be the supertype of `t1.a` and `t2.a`, excluding `t3.a`). This could lead to logical errors or crashes when functions expected different column types than what actually appeared in the execution plan. [#95157](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95157) ([Vladimir Cherkasov](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Make column transform only once during getting content of manifest .avro list and files. [#95164](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95164) ([Daniil Ivanik](https://github.com/divanik)).

* Fixed inaccurate memory accounting when applying large patch parts after lightweight updates. Previously, applying large patches could cause excessive memory usage and result in the server process being killed by the OOM killer. [#95231](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95231) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Fix undefined behavior that could cause incorrect results or an exception when a distributed query with `max_parallel_replicas` fell back to a local replica during index analysis. [#95263](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95263) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fix aggregation of sparse columns for `sum` and timeseries when `group_by_overflow_mode` is set to `any`. [#95301](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95301) ([Mikhail Koviazin](https://github.com/mkmkme)).
* Fix a reliability issue in `plain_rewritable` disk policy where a network error mid-way through unlinking a metadata file could leave the storage in an inconsistent state. [#95302](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95302) ([Mikhail Artemenko](https://github.com/Michicosun)).
* Replace Date with Date32 for iceberg. [#95322](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95322) ([Konstantin Vedernikov](https://github.com/scanhex12)).
* The password argument of the `redis` table function now will be masked in the logs and system tables (e.g.: `query_log`). [#95325](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95325) ([János Benjamin Antal](https://github.com/antaljanosbenjamin)).
* Fix a bug where tables could be dropped or altered while a distributed query was still executing against them, potentially causing exceptions or incorrect results. [#95356](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95356) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fix a logical error in some cases when negative `LIMIT/OFFSET` is used in distributed queries. [#95357](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95357) ([Nihal Z. Miaji](https://github.com/nihalzp)).
* Fix a bug where clickhouse-client would ask for password twice when connecting using ssh. [#95372](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95372) ([Isak Ellmer](https://github.com/spinojara)).
* Fix a data race in storage S3(Azure)Queue. [#95385](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95385) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Fix the prewhere filter error caused by lambda expressions in prewhere. [#95395](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95395) ([Xiaozhe Yu](https://github.com/wudidapaopao)).
* Fix `optimize_syntax_fuse_functions` to not rewrite `sum/count/avg` into `sumCount()` when the aggregate argument is `Nullable`. Closes [#95390](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/95390). [#95441](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95441) ([Nihal Z. Miaji](https://github.com/nihalzp)).
* Avoid possible crash for distributed queries in case of cancellation. [#95466](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95466) ([Aleksandr Musorin](https://github.com/AVMusorin)).
* Fix deduplication for streaming from S3(Azure)Queue engine. [#95467](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95467) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Fix updating row policies assigned to the initial user in distributed queries. [#95469](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95469) ([Vitaly Baranov](https://github.com/vitlibar)).
* Fix check for encrypted disks over plain_rewritable (Fixes possible `It is not possible to register multiple plain-rewritable disks with the same object storage prefix`). [#95470](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95470) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* The `mergeTreeProjection` table function was missing an access check, allowing users without SELECT permission on a table (but with permissions for table functions) to read data from its projections.

* Fix stuck mutations when `PartCheckThread` re-enqueues a `GET_PART` for an already-mutated part, leaving phantom entries in `parts_to_do`. [#97162](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97162) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix query plan row count estimation for subqueries with `ORDER BY ... LIMIT`, which could cause the optimizer to choose a suboptimal join order. [#97193](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97193) ([Alexander Gololobov](https://github.com/davenger)).
* Fix `LOGICAL_ERROR` exception in `FunctionVariantAdaptor` when a function operating on Variant columns returns `Nothing` type, which can happen with empty arrays in `UNION ALL` queries. [#97213](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97213) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix a data race during S3 multipart copy operations (e.g., during `BACKUP`/`RESTORE` to S3) that could cause exceptions under concurrent access. [#97227](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97227) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fix `LOGICAL_ERROR` exception when `arrayJoin` in `WHERE` clause references columns from both sides of a `JOIN`. [#97239](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97239) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix `LOGICAL_ERROR` exception when reading `.size` subcolumn of a sparse `Nullable(String)` in a Tuple with PREWHERE. [#97264](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97264) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).

LIMIT`. [#97270](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97270) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix `SYSTEM RESTART REPLICA` losing table from database when table re-creation fails with a non-ZooKeeper exception (e.g. memory limit), causing metadata digest mismatches in `DatabaseReplicated`. [#97276](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97276) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Field `readonly` in `system.merge_tree_settings` now properly reflects that certain merge tree settings (e.g. `index_granularity`) are unconditionally readonly. [#97277](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97277) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Fix a crash during `count()` optimization on `MergeTree` tables when the storage snapshot was created without data. [#97281](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97281) ([Pablo Marcos](https://github.com/pamarcos)).

* Fix `LOGICAL_ERROR` exception in `applyOrder` when using text-indexed columns with `QUALIFY` clause. [#97313](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97313) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* System table `system.functions` now shows for internal functions `categories = 'Internal'` instead of `categories = ''`. [#97315](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97315) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Query with RIGHT JOIN chain and enabled parallel replicas can produce incorrect result. Fixes [#74341](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/74341). [#97316](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97316) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
* Fix spurious `TABLE_UUID_MISMATCH` errors that could occur with refreshable materialized views and other scenarios where tables are renamed. [#97323](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97323) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fix segfault in `StorageKeeperMap` backup due to use-after-free of dangling storage pointer in lazy backup batch. [#97336](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97336) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix the `exists` function with a scalar subquery inside an `ALTER UPDATE/DELETE` when `mutations_execute_subqueries_on_initiator` is enabled. The scalar subquery was incorrectly evaluated, which could lead to an error or a corrupt mutation command that made the table unloadable on the next server restart. [#97347](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97347) ([Kirill Kopnev](https://github.com/Fgrtue)).
* Fix logical exception `Unexpected return type from equals. Expected Nullable(UInt8).

* Fix `LOGICAL_ERROR` exception in Array-to-`QBit` conversion when `nullable_source` from an outer `Tuple` wrapper replaces the converted array column with a mismatched column type. Closes [#97389](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/97389). [#97413](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97413) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix AST formatting roundtrip inconsistency for aliased tuple literals inside parentheses, e.g., `(('a', 'b') AS x)` was incorrectly reformatted as `tuple(('a', 'b') AS x)`. [#97418](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97418) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).

* Fix `ACCESS_DENIED` for users without `CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE` permission when `optimize_inverse_dictionary_lookup` optimization rewrites `dictGet(...)` predicates. ClickHouse now skips the rewrite and executes the original expression. Closes [#97269](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/97269). [#97484](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97484) ([Nihal Z. Miaji](https://github.com/nihalzp)).
* Fix assertion failure (exception in debug/sanitizer builds) in `Set` and `MergeTreeIndexSet` when processing columns with inner sparse subcolumns (e.g., `Tuple` columns from MergeTree parts with different sparse serialization profiles). [#97493](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97493) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix a possible use after free in StorageKafka2. [#97520](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97520) ([Bharat Nallan](https://github.com/bharatnc)).

* Fix a possible logical error in `ip_trie` dictionary when key type is not String. [#97555](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97555) ([Bharat Nallan](https://github.com/bharatnc)).
* Fix REST catalog OAuth authentication not working for the base `RestCatalog` (it only worked for derived catalogs like `OneLakeCatalog`). This broke the default REST catalog after BigLake catalog was introduced. [#97561](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97561) ([Konstantin Vedernikov](https://github.com/scanhex12)).
* Geometry functions (`perimeterSpherical`, `areaSpherical`, etc.) now accept individual geometry subtypes (`Polygon`, `Ring`, `Point`, etc.) in addition to the `Geometry` variant type.

[#97582](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97582) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix null pointer dereference when applying patch parts during lightweight updates. [#97583](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97583) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* `BaseSettings::readBinary` passes the index from `accessor.find` to `field_infos[]` without checking for the not-found sentinel value (i.e., `-1`), which may cause a `std::vector` out-of-bounds access. The issue was caught thanks to libcxx hardening. This probably happened during query plan deserialization when a newer server sends a setting unknown to an older server. The string-based read method already handles this correctly; `readBinary` was missing the same check. [#97585](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97585) ([Miсhael Stetsyuk](https://github.com/mstetsyuk)).
* Fix incorrect query results for `UNION ALL` queries where one branch had a constant-false predicate — the branch would incorrectly read data instead of returning nothing. [#97620](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97620) ([Bharat Nallan](https://github.com/bharatnc)).
* Fix `IN (col)` with a single column reference failing with `UNSUPPORTED_METHOD` error. [#97646](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97646) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix logical error exception during `GROUP BY ... WITH ROLLUP/CUBE` when keys include `LowCardinality(Nullable(...))` inside `Nullable(Tuple(...))`. [#97647](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97647) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix AST formatting inconsistency for `NOT (1, 1, 1)` that could cause `LOGICAL_ERROR` in debug builds. [#97653](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97653) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Fix `keeper-converter` exception when encountering empty ZooKeeper transaction log files. [#97673](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97673) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).

* Parallelize license scanning. [#96727](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96727) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Add stateless functional test for SSH protocol support. [#96996](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96996) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add Kafka 3.9.0 to the stateless functional test infrastructure, enabling direct testing of Kafka and Kafka2 table engines using ClickHouse Keeper as ZooKeeper. Six new stateless tests cover basic produce/consume, virtual columns, INSERT, multiple formats, broken message handling, and Keeper-based offset storage. [#96997](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96997) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Add a CI workflow to build PGO+BOLT optimized clang toolchain. [#96991](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96991) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Use the PGO-optimized LLVM/Clang build in CI, which should give 20..30% build speed improvement. [#97031](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97031) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Replace math functions from glibc with llvm-libc implementations. [#90151](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/90151) ([Konstantin Bogdanov](https://github.com/thevar1able)).
* Update Boost from 1.83 to 1.90, fixing a `devector` assertion failure in debug builds. [#97037](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97037) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).

* Use `simdjson` v4.2.4. [#97129](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97129) ([Konstantin Bogdanov](https://github.com/thevar1able)).
* Use `libarchive` 3.8.5. [#97131](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97131) ([Konstantin Bogdanov](https://github.com/thevar1able)).
* Use `fast_float` v8.2.3. [#97133](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97133) ([Konstantin Bogdanov](https://github.com/thevar1able)).
* Use `abseil-cpp` 20260107.1, `s2geometry` to v0.13.1. [#97134](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97134) ([Konstantin Bogdanov](https://github.com/thevar1able)).
* Bump `libxml2` to 2.15.1. [#95574](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95574) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Upgraded 7 Tier-3 integration test Docker images from EOL or removed base images to current supported versions. [#97314](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97314) ([Rahul](https://github.com/motsc)).
* Add TPC-DS benchmark queries. [#97349](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97349) ([Raufs Dunamalijevs](https://github.com/rienath)).
* Replace individual x86 instruction-set cmake options (`ENABLE_SSSE3`, `ENABLE_AVX2`, `NO_SSE3_OR_HIGHER`, `ARCH_NATIVE`, etc.) with a single numeric `X86_ARCH_LEVEL` option (`1`/`2`/`3`/`4`), matching the standard x86-64 microarchitecture levels already used by the runtime dispatch system. [#97354](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97354) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Avoid instantiating `division_by_nullable=true` template variants for non-division operations in `FunctionBinaryArithmetic`, reducing compilation time and binary size. [#97496](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97496) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Reduce the include footprint of `Exception.h` by removing it from high-fan-out headers like `typeid_cast.h`, `assert_cast.h`, `Context_fwd.h`, `IDataType.h`, and various Column headers. [#97497](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97497) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Always use bundled `compiler-rt` headers (sanitizer and XRay interfaces) instead of the host compiler's headers, and build `compiler-rt` libraries from source by default. [#97499](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/97499) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Avoid including boost/multiprecision headers in `wide_integer_impl.h` on platforms with adequate `long double`, improving build time. [#96633](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/96633) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Implement LLVM Code Coverage job and enable it initially for master branch. [#90952](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/90952) ([Alexey Bakharew](https://github.com/alexbakharew)).
* Enable fast libcxx hardening for release builds. This is mostly needed for out-of-bounds checks. Given performance tests results, no noticeable performance impact is expected. [#94757](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94757) ([Miсhael Stetsyuk](https://github.com/mstetsyuk)).


### <a id="261"></a> ClickHouse release 26.1, 2026-01-29. [Presentation](https://presentations.clickhouse.com/2026-release-26.1/), [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWuYt4M0xE4)

#### Backward Incompatible Change
* Fix inconsistent formatting caused by an incorrect substitution of aliases in the formatter. This closes [#82833](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/82833). This closes [#82832](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/82832). This closes [#68296](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/68296). This change is potentially backward incompatible: when the analyzer is disabled, certain CREATE VIEW queries with IN referencing an alias cannot be processed. To prevent the incompatibility, enable the analyzer (it is enabled by default since 24.3). [#82838](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/82838) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Codecs `DEFLATE_QPL` and `ZSTD_QAT` were removed. Users are advised to convert existing data compressed with `DEFLATE_QPL` or `ZSTD_QAT` to another codec before upgrade. Note that in order to use the codecs, settings `enable_deflate_qpl_codec` and `enable_zstd_qat_codec` had to be enabled. [#92150](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92150) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Improve UDF debugging by enabling stderr capture in `system.query_log.exception`. Previously, UDF stderr was only logged to files and not exposed in query logs, making debugging impossible. Now stderr triggers exceptions by default and is fully accumulated (up to 1MB) before throwing, so complete Python tracebacks and error messages appear in `system.query_log.exception` for effective troubleshooting. [#92209](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92209) ([Xu Jia](https://github.com/XuJia0210)).
* Empty column list in `JOIN USING ()` clause is now considered a syntax error. Previously it was supposed to be `INVALID_JOIN_ON_EXPRESSION` during query execution. In some cases such as joining with `Join` storage it led to `LOGICAL_ERROR`, close [#82502](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/82502). [#92371](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92371) ([Vladimir Cherkasov](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Use partial match for SKIP REGEXP in JSON type by default. Closes [#79250](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/79250). [#92847](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92847) ([Pavel Kruglov](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Revert "Allow INSERT into simple ALIAS columns" (Reverts ClickHouse/ClickHouse[#84154](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/84154)). It does not work with custom formats, and is not guarded with a setting. [#92849](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92849) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Setting to throw an error if a data lake catalog doesn't have access to object storage. [#93606](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93606) ([Konstantin Vedernikov](https://github.com/scanhex12)).
* The `Lazy` database engine is removed and no longer available. Closes [#91231](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/91231). [#93627](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93627) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Remove the `transposed_with_wide_view` mode of the `metric_log` - it is unusable due to a bug. It is no longer possible to define `system.metric_log` with this mode. This partially reverts [#78412](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/78412). [#93867](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93867) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* CPU scheduling for workloads is now preemptive by default. See `cpu_slot_preemption` server setting. [#94060](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94060) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)).
* Escape index filenames to prevent broken parts. With this change ClickHouse will fail to load indices with non-ascii characters in their name created by previous versions. To handle it you can use the merge tree setting `escape_index_filenames`. [#94079](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94079) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Format settings `exact_rows_before_limit`, `rows_before_aggregation`, `cross_to_inner_join_rewrite`, `regexp_dict_allow_hyperscan`, `regexp_dict_flag_case_insensitive`, `regexp_dict_flag_dotall` and `dictionary_use_async_executor` were changed to be regular (non-format) settings now. This is a purely internal change without user-visible side effects except in the (unlikely) case that you specified any of these settings in Iceberg or DeltaLake or Kafka or S3 or S3Queue or Azure or Hive or RabbitMQ or Set or FileLog or NATS table engine definitions. In these cases, these settings were previously ignored, now such definitions throw an error. [#94106](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94106) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* The `joinGet/joinGetOrNull` functions now enforce `SELECT` privileges on the underlying Join table. After this change, executing `joinGet('db.table', 'column', key)` requires the user to have `SELECT` privilege on both the key columns defined in the Join table and the attribute column being retrieved. Queries lacking these privileges will fail with `ACCESS_DENIED`. To migrate, grant the necessary permissions using `GRANT SELECT ON db.join_table TO user` for full table access, or `GRANT SELECT(key_col, attr_col) ON db.join_table TO user` for column-level access. This change affects all users and applications relying on `joinGet`/`joinGetOrNull` where explicit `SELECT` grants were not previously configured. [#94307](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94307) ([Vladimir Cherkasov](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Check `SHOW COLUMNS` for `CREATE TABLE ... AS ...` queries. Previously, it checked `SHOW TABLES`, which is an incorrect grant for this type of permission check. [#94556](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94556) ([pufit](https://github.com/pufit)).
* Make the `Hash` output format independent of block sizes. [#94503](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94503) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)). Note that this changes the output hash values compared to previous versions.

#### New Feature
* HTTP API and embedded Web UI for ClickHouse Keeper. [#78181](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/78181) ([pufit](https://github.com/pufit) and [speeedmaster](https://github.com/speeedmaster)).
* Async insert deduplication now works with dependent materialized views. When collision by block_id occurs, the original block is filtered to remove rows associated with the block_id, and the remaining rows are transformed with all relevant materialized views select queries, this rebuilds original block without conflicting rows. [#89140](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/89140) ([Sema Checherinda](https://github.com/CheSema)). It is allowed to use deduplication with async inserts when materialized views are involved. [#93957](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93957) ([Sema Checherinda](https://github.com/CheSema)).
* Introduced a new syntax and framework to simplify and extend projection index feature. This follows up https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/81021. [#91844](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/91844) ([Amos Bird](https://github.com/amosbird)).
* Add text index support for `Array` columns. [#89895](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/89895) ([Jimmy Aguilar Mena](https://github.com/Ergus)).
* Enable `use_variant_as_common_type` by default, which lets you use incompatible types inside an `Array`, in `UNION` queries, and in branches of `if`/`multiIf`/`case`. [#90677](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/90677) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* New system table `zookeeper_info`. Implements [#88014](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/88014). [#90809](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/90809) ([Smita Kulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Support the `Variant` type in all functions. [#90900](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/90900) ([Bharat Nallan](https://github.com/bharatnc)).
* Adds a `ClickHouse_Info` metric to the Prometheus `/metrics` endpoint containing mainly version information so it's possible to build charts tracking detailed version information over time. [#91125](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/91125) ([Christoph Wurm](https://github.com/cwurm)).
* Introduce a new four letter `rcfg` command for keeper which allows to change cluster configuration. This command provides broader possibilities for configuration changes than standard `reconfigure` request. Command takes `json` string as an argument. The whole set of bytes sent to TCP interface should look like this: `rcfg{json_string_length_big_endian}{json_string}`. Some examples of command may look like this: `{"preconditions": {"leaders": [1, 2], "members": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]}, "actions": [{"transfer_leadership": [3]}, {"remove_members": [1, 2]}, {"set_priority": [{"id": 4, "priority": 100}, {"id": 5, "priority": 100}]}, {"transfer_leadership": [4, 5]}, {"set_priority": [{"id": 3, "priority": 0}]}]}`. [#91354](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/91354) ([alesapin](https://github.com/alesapin)).
* Add function `reverseBySeparator` which reverses the order of substrings in a string separated by a specified separator. Close [#91463](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/91463). [#91780](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/91780) ([Xuewei Wang](https://github.com/Sallery-X)).
* Adds new setting `max_insert_block_size_bytes` which control the formation of inserted blocks in finer detail. [#92833](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92833) ([Kirill Kopnev](https://github.com/Fgrtue)).
* It is possible to execute DDL queries with `ON CLUSTER` clause for a Replicated database if the `ignore_on_cluster_for_replicated_database` setting is enabled. In this case, the cluster name will be ignored. [#92872](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92872) ([Kirill](https://github.com/kirillgarbar)).
* Implement `mergeTreeAnalyzeIndexes` function. [#92954](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92954) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Add new setting `use_primary_key`. Set it to `false` to disable granule pruning based on the primary key. [#93319](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93319) ([Nihal Z. Miaji](https://github.com/nihalzp)).

* Add `files` column to system.parts table that shows the number of files in each data part. [#94337](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94337) ([Match](https://github.com/gayanMatch)).
* Adds a max-min fair scheduler for concurrency control. Provides better fairness under high oversubscription, where many queries compete for limited CPU slots. Short-running queries are not penalized by long-running queries that have accumulated more slots over time. Enabled by the `concurrent_threads_scheduler` server setting `max_min_fair` value. [#94732](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94732) ([Sergei Trifonov](https://github.com/serxa)).
* Added the ability for ClickHouse client to override TLS SNI when connecting to the server. [#89761](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/89761) ([Matt Klein](https://github.com/mattklein123)).
* Support temporary tables in `joinGet` function calls. [#92973](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92973) ([Eduard Karacharov](https://github.com/korowa)).

#### Experimental Feature
* Move `QBit` from Experimental to Beta. [#93816](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93816) ([Raufs Dunamalijevs](https://github.com/rienath)).
* Add support for `Nullable(Tuple)`. Set `allow_experimental_nullable_tuple_type = 1` to enable it. [#89643](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/89643) ([Nihal Z. Miaji](https://github.com/nihalzp)).
* Support Paimon REST catalog, continuing from https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/84423. [#92011](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92011) ([JIaQi Tang](https://github.com/JiaQiTang98)).

#### Performance Improvement
* Setting `use_skip_indexes_on_data_read` is now enabled by default. This setting allows filtering in a streaming fashion, at the same time as reading, improving query performance and startup time. [#93407](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93407) ([Shankar Iyer](https://github.com/shankar-iyer)).
* Improve performance of `DISTINCT` on `LowCardinality` columns. Closes [#5917](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/5917). [#91639](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/91639) ([Nihal Z. Miaji](https://github.com/nihalzp)).
* Optimize `distinctJSONPaths` aggregate function so it reads only JSON paths from data parts and not the whole JSON column. [#92196](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92196) ([Pavel Kruglov](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* More filters pushed down JOINs. [#85556](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/85556) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Support more cases for push down from join ON condition when the filter uses inputs only from one side. Support `ANY`, `SEMI`, `ANTI` joins. [#92584](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92584) ([Dmitry Novik](https://github.com/novikd)).
* Allow using equivalent sets to push down filters for `SEMI JOIN`. Closes [#85239](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/85239). [#92837](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92837) ([Dmitry Novik](https://github.com/novikd)).
* Skip reading left side of hash join when right side is empty. Previously we were reading left side until first non-empty block, which might do a lot of work in case when there is heavy filtering or aggregation. [#94062](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94062) ([Alexander Gololobov](https://github.com/davenger)).
* Using the "fastrange" (Daniel Lemire) method for partitioning data inside the query pipeline. This could improve parallel sorting and JOINs. [#93080](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93080) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Improve performance of window functions when PARTITION BY matches or is a prefix of the sorting key. [#87299](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/87299) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Outer filter is pushed down into views which allows applying PREWHERE on local and remote nodes. Resolves [#88189](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/88189). [#88316](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/88316) ([Igor Nikonov](https://github.com/devcrafter)).
* Implement JIT compilations for more functions. Closes [#73509](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/73509). [#88770](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/88770) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov) with [Taiyang Li](https://github.com/taiyang-li)).
* If a skip index used in a `FINAL` query is on a column that is part of the primary key, the additional step to check for primary key intersection in other parts is unnecessary and now not performed. Resolves [#85897](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/85897). [#93899](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93899) ([Shankar Iyer](https://github.com/shankar-iyer)).
* Optimize performance and memory usage for fractional `LIMIT` and `OFFSET`. [#91167](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/91167) ([Ahmed Gouda](https://github.com/0xgouda)).

* Improved performance of full text search with text index and `sparseGrams` tokenizer by reducing the number of searched tokens in the index. [#93078](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93078) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Function `isValidASCII` was optimized for positive outcomes, i.e. all-ASCII input values. [#93347](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93347) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* The read-in-order optimization now recognizes when ORDER BY columns are constant due to WHERE conditions, enabling efficient reverse-order reads. This benefits multi-tenant queries like `WHERE tenant='42' ORDER BY tenant, event_time DESC` which can now use InReverseOrder instead of requiring a full sort.". [#94103](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94103) ([matanper](https://github.com/matanper)).
* Introduce Enum AST specialized class to store value parameters in (string, integer) pairs instead of ASTLiteral children to optimize memory consumption. [#94178](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94178) ([Ilya Yatsishin](https://github.com/qoega)).
* Distributed index analysis on multiple replicas. Beneficial for shared storage and huge amount of data in cluster. This is applicable for SharedMergeTree (ClickHouse Cloud) and could be applicable for other types of MergeTree tables on a shared storage. [#86786](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/86786) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Reduce overhead of join runtime filters by disabling them in the following cases: - too many bits are set in the bloom filter - too few rows are filtered out at runtime. [#91578](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/91578) ([Alexander Gololobov](https://github.com/davenger)).
* Use an in-memory buffer for correlated subqueries input to avoid evaluating it multiple times. Part of [#79890](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/79890). [#91205](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/91205) ([Dmitry Novik](https://github.com/novikd)).
* Allow all replicas to steal orphaned ranges in parallel replicas reading. This improves load balancing and reduces long-tail latency. [#91374](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/91374) ([zoomxi](https://github.com/zoomxi)).
* External aggregation/sorting/join now respects query setting `temporary_files_codec` in all contexts. Fixed missing profile events for grace hash join. [#92388](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92388) ([Vladimir Cherkasov](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Make query memory usage detection for spilling to disk during aggregation/sorting more robust. [#92500](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92500) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Estimate total rows count and NDV (number of distinct values) statistics of aggregation key columns. [#92812](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92812) ([Alexander Gololobov](https://github.com/davenger)).
* Optimize postings list compression with simdcomp. [#92871](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92871) ([Peng Jian](https://github.com/fastio)).
* Refactor S3Queue Ordered mode processing with buckets. This should also improve performance, reducing the number of keeper requests. [#92889](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92889) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Functions `mapContainsKeyLike` and `mapContainsValueLike` can now leverage a text index on `mapKeys()` or `mapValues()`, respectively. [#93049](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93049) ([Michael Jarrett](https://github.com/EmeraldShift)).
* Reduce memory usage on non-Linux systems (enable immediate purging of jemalloc dirty pages). [#93360](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93360) ([Eduard Karacharov](https://github.com/korowa)).
* Force purging of jemalloc arenas in case the ratio of dirty pages size to `max_server_memory_usage` exceeds `memory_worker_purge_dirty_pages_threshold_ratio`. [#93500](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93500) ([Eduard Karacharov](https://github.com/korowa)).
* Reduce memory usage for AST. [#93601](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93601) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* In some cases we've seen ClickHouse doesn't respect a memory limit when reading from a table. This behaviour is fixed. [#93715](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93715) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).

* Add two more settings to control maximum number of dynamic subcolumns in JSON column. First is MergeTree setting `merge_max_dynamic_subcolumns_in_compact_part` (similar to already added `merge_max_dynamic_subcolumns_in_wide_part`) that limits number of dynamic subcolumns created during merge into a Compact part. Second is query level setting `max_dynamic_subcolumns_in_json_type_parsing` that limits number of dynamic subcolumns created during parsing of JSON data, it will allow to specify the limit on insert. [#94184](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94184) ([Pavel Kruglov](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Slightly optimize squashing of JSON columns for some cases. [#94247](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94247) ([Pavel Kruglov](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Lower the thread pool queue sizes based on the production experience. Add an explicit memory consumption check before reading any data from the MergeTree. [#94692](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94692) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Make sure the scheduler would prefer MemoryWorker thread under the CPU starvation, because it protects ClickHouse process from an existential threat. [#94864](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94864) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Run purging of jemalloc dirty pages in a different thread from main thread of MemoryWorker. If purging is slow, it could delay updates of RSS usage which could lead to out of memory kills of the process. Introduce new config `memory_worker_purge_total_memory_threshold_ratio` to start purging dirty pages based on ratio of total memory usage. [#94902](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94902) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).

#### Improvement

* Implement `blob_storage_log` for Local and HDFS. Fix an error when `S3Queue` used something other than the disk name for logging in `blob_storage_log`. Add `error_code` column to `blob_storage_log`. Split the test configuration file to simplify local testing. [#93106](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93106) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).

* With `<interactive_history_legacy_keymap>true</interactive_history_legacy_keymap>`, the CLI client can now fall back to Ctrl-R for regular search like before, while Ctrl-T does fuzzy search. [#87785](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/87785) ([Larry Snizek](https://github.com/larry-cdn77)).
* The statement to clear caches `SYSTEM DROP [...] CACHE` gave the false impression that the statement disables the cache. ClickHouse now supports statement `SYSTEM CLEAR [...] CACHE` which is more obvious. The old syntax remains available.

* Tracking hive partitioning for ordered mode in S3Queue. Resolves [#71161](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/71161). [#81040](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/81040) ([Anton Ivashkin](https://github.com/ianton-ru)).
* Optimize space reservation in filesystem cache. `FileCache::collectCandidatesForEviction` will be executed without unique lock. [#82764](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/82764) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Support composite rotation strategy (size + time) for server log. [#87620](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/87620) ([Jianmei Zhang](https://github.com/zhangjmruc)).
* CLI client can now specify `<warnings>false</warnings>` instead of the command line `--no-warnings`. [#87783](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/87783) ([Larry Snizek](https://github.com/larry-cdn77)).
* Add support for the `avg` aggregate function with Date, DateTime and Time values as arguments. Closes [#82267](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/82267). [#87845](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/87845) ([Yarik Briukhovetskyi](https://github.com/yariks5s)).
* The optimization `use_join_disjunctions_push_down` is enabled by default. [#89313](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/89313) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Support more table engines and data source kinds in the correlated subqueries. Closes [#80775](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/80775). [#90175](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/90175) ([Dmitry Novik](https://github.com/novikd)).
* If the schema of parameterized view is specified explicitly, it is shown. Close [#88875](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/88875), [#81385](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/81385). [#90220](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/90220) ([Grigorii Sokolik](https://github.com/GSokol)).

[#92149](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92149) ([Miсhael Stetsyuk](https://github.com/mstetsyuk)).
* Add a new setting, `trace_profile_events_list`, which limits tracing with `trace_profile_event` to the specified list of event names. This allows more precise data collection on large workloads. [#92298](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92298) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Support SYSTEM NOTIFY FAILPOINT for pausable failpoints. - Support SYSTEM WAIT FAILPOINT fp PAUSE/RESUME. [#92368](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92368) ([Shaohua Wang](https://github.com/tiandiwonder)).

* Allow passing the description of columns for YTsaurus dyn tables to the dictionary source. [#92391](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92391) ([MikhailBurdukov](https://github.com/MikhailBurdukov)).
* In [#63985](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/63985), we made it possible to specify all the parameters needed for TLS configuration on a per-port basis (see [composable protocols](https://clickhouse.com/docs/operations/settings/composable-protocols)), so we don't have to rely on global TLS config. However, the implementation still implicitly requires a global `openSSL.server` config section to exist, which conflicts with setups where different TLS configurations are needed for different ports. For example, in keeper-in-server deployments, we need separate TLS configs for inter-keeper communication and clickhouse client connections. [#92457](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92457) ([Miсhael Stetsyuk](https://github.com/mstetsyuk)).
* Introduce a new setting `input_format_binary_max_type_complexity` that limits the total number of type nodes that can be decoded in binary format to prevent malicious payloads. [#92519](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92519) ([Raufs Dunamalijevs](https://github.com/rienath)).
* Reflect running tasks in `system.background_schedule_pool{,_log}`. Add documentation. [#92587](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92587) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Execute current query in Ctrl+R search in client if no history match found. [#92749](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92749) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Support `EXPLAIN indices = 1` as an alias for `EXPLAIN indexes = 1`. Closes [#92483](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/92483). [#92774](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92774) ([Pranav Tiwari](https://github.com/pranavt84)).
* Parquet reader now allows reading Tuple or Map columns as JSON: `select x from file(f.parquet, auto, 'x JSON')` works even if the type of column `x` in `f.parquet` is tuple or map. [#92864](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92864) ([Michael Kolupaev](https://github.com/al13n321)).
* Support empty tuples in parquet reader. [#92868](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92868) ([Michael Kolupaev](https://github.com/al13n321)).
* Fallback to read-write copy for Azure Blob Storage when native copy fails with BadRequest (e.g. invalid block list). Previously this was only done for Unauthorized error which was seen while copying blob to different storage accounts. But we also sometimes see "The specified block list is invalid" error. So now updated the condition to fallback to read & write for all native copy fails. [#92888](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92888) ([Smita Kulkarni](https://github.com/SmitaRKulkarni)).
* Fix EC2 metadata endpoint throttling when running many concurrent S3 queries with EC2 instance profile credentials. Previously, each query created its own `AWSInstanceProfileCredentialsProvider`, causing concurrent requests to the EC2 metadata service which could result in timeouts and `HTTP response code: 403` errors. Now the credentials provider is cached and shared across all queries. [#92891](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92891) ([Sav](https://github.com/sberss)).
* Rework `insert_select_deduplicate` setting to add an ability to keep backward compatibility. [#92951](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92951) ([Sema Checherinda](https://github.com/CheSema)).
* Log background tasks that are slower than average (`background_schedule_pool_log.duration_threshold_milliseconds=30`) to avoid excessive tasks logging. [#92965](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92965) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* In previous versions, some of C++ function names were displayed incorrectly ("mangled") in the `system.trace_log` and `system.symbols`, and the `demangle` function didn't process them well. Closes [#93074](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/93074). [#93075](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93075) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Introduced the `backup_data_from_refreshable_materialized_view_targets` backup setting to skip back up of refreshable materialized views. RMVs with APPEND refresh strategy which are always backed up. [#93076](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93076) ([Julia Kartseva](https://github.com/jkartseva)). [#93658](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93658) ([Julia Kartseva](https://github.com/jkartseva))
* Use minimal debug info instead of no debug info for heavy translation units, such as functions. [#93079](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93079) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Added MinIO compatibility support to AWS S3 C++ SDK by implementing error code mapping for MinIO-specific errors. This change allows ClickHouse to properly handle and retry MinIO server errors when using MinIO deployments instead of AWS S3, improving reliability for users running object storage on self-hosted MinIO clusters. [#93082](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93082) ([XiaoBinMu](https://github.com/Binnn-MX)).
* Write symbolized jemalloc profiles (eliminating the need for a binary during heap profile generation). [#93099](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93099) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Resurrect `clickhouse git-import` tool - it was broken on large and invalid commits. See https://presentations.clickhouse.com/2020-matemarketing/. [#93202](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93202) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Don't show passwords from URL storage in query log. [#93245](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93245) ([Konstantin Vedernikov](https://github.com/scanhex12)).
* Support `Geometry` type for `flipCoordinates`. [#93303](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93303) ([Bharat Nallan](https://github.com/bharatnc)).
* Improve the UX of SYSTEM INSTRUMENT ADD/REMOVE: use String literals for function names, patch all functions that match and allow using function_name in `REMOVE`. [#93345](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93345) ([Pablo Marcos](https://github.com/pamarcos)).
* Add a new setting `materialize_statistics_on_merge` which enables/disables materializing statistics during merge. The default value is `1`. [#93379](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93379) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).
* ClickHouse can now parse `SELECT` without parentheses around `DESCRIBE SELECT` queries. Closes [#58382](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/58382). [#93429](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93429) ([Yarik Briukhovetskyi](https://github.com/yariks5s)).
* Add randomization of cache correctness checks under probability. [#93439](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93439) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Add setting `type_json_allow_duplicated_key_with_literal_and_nested_object` to allow duplicated paths in JSON where one is a literal and another is a nested object, e.g. `{"a" : 42, "a" : {"b" : 42}}`. Some data could be created before this restriction on duplicated paths was added in https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/79317 and further manipulation with this data can lead to errors now. With this setting, such old data cane still be used with no errors. [#93604](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93604) ([Pavel Kruglov](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Don't print values of simple types on separate lines in Pretty JSON. [#93836](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93836) ([Pavel Kruglov](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* When there are many `alter table ... modify setting ...` statements, it's possible not to acquire lock for 5 seconds. Better to return `timeout` than `logical error`. [#93856](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93856) ([Han Fei](https://github.com/hanfei1991)).
* Prevent excessive output on a syntax error. Before this change, it output the whole SQL script, which could contain a lot of queries. [#93876](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93876) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Do proper byte size calculation of the `check` request with stats in Keeper. [#93907](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93907) ([Mikhail Artemenko](https://github.com/Michicosun)).
* Added `use_hash_table_stats_for_join_reordering` setting to control whether runtime hash table size statistics are used for join reordering. This setting is enabled by default, preserving the existing behavior of `collect_hash_table_stats_during_joins`. [#93912](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93912) ([Vladimir Cherkasov](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Users can now partially view nested global server settings in the `system.server_settings` table (e.g. `logger.level`). This only covers settings with a fixed structure (no lists, enumerations, repetitions etc.). [#94001](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94001) ([Hechem Selmi](https://github.com/m-selmi)).
* `QBit` can now be compared for equality. [#94078](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94078) ([Raufs Dunamalijevs](https://github.com/rienath)).
* When Keeper detects broken snapshot or inconsistent changelogs, throw exception instead of manually aborting or cleaning up files automatically. This should lead to a safer behaviour of Keeper relying on manual intervention. [#94168](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94168) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Fix leaving possible leftovers in case of `CREATE TABLE` fails. [#94174](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94174) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Fix uninitialized memory access (a bug in OpenSSL) when password protected TLS key is used. [#94182](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94182) ([Konstantin Bogdanov](https://github.com/thevar1able)).
* Bump chdig to [v26.1.1](https://github.com/azat/chdig/releases/tag/v26.1.1). [#94290](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94290) ([Azat Khuzhin](https://github.com/azat)).
* Support more generic partitioning for S3Queue ordered mode. [#94321](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94321) ([Bharat Nallan](https://github.com/bharatnc)).
* Added alias `use_statistics` for setting `allow_statistics_optimize`. This is more consistent with existing settings `use_primary_key` and `use_skip_indexes`. [#94366](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94366) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Enabled setting `input_format_numbers_enum_on_conversion_error` for conversion from Numbers to Enums to check whether the element exists. [#94384](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94384) ([Elmi Ahmadov](https://github.com/ahmadov)).
* In S3(Azure)Queue ordered mode clean up failed nodes by tracking limits (before that was done only in Unordered mode for both failed and processed, so now this will also be done for Ordered but only for failed nodes). [#94412](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94412) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Enable access management for `default` user in clickhouse-local. The default user in `clickhouse-local` was missing the access_management privilege, which caused operations like `DROP ROW POLICY IF EXISTS` to fail with `ACCESS_DENIED` error, even though the user should be unrestricted. [#94501](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94501) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
* Enable named collection for YTsaurus dictionaries and tables. [#94582](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94582) ([MikhailBurdukov](https://github.com/MikhailBurdukov)).

* Support bucketing based on partition key for S3Queue in ordered mode. [#94698](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94698) ([Bharat Nallan](https://github.com/bharatnc)).
* Add an asynchronous metric with the longest running merge elapsed time. [#94825](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94825) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Add belonging file check before apply position delete using IcebergBitmapPositionDeleteTransform. [#94897](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94897) ([Yang Jiang](https://github.com/Ted-Jiang)).
* Now `view_duration_ms` shows the time when group was active, not the sum of the threads duration in it. [#94966](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94966) ([Sema Checherinda](https://github.com/CheSema)).
* Remove limit of the max number of search tokens in `hasAnyTokens` and `hasAllTokens` functions which was limited to 64. Example: `SELECT count() FROM table WHERE hasAllTokens(text, ['token_1', 'token_2', [...], 'token_65']]);` The query would result in a `BAD_ARGUMENTS` error because there are 65 search tokens. With this PR, the limit has been removed completely and the same query would run without an error. [#95152](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95152) ([Elmi Ahmadov](https://github.com/ahmadov)).
* Add a setting `input_format_numbers_enum_on_conversion_error` for conversion from Numbers to Enums to check whether the element exists. Closes: [#56144](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/56144). [#56240](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/56240) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).
* Share format parser resources between data file and position delete file reading in Iceberg tables to reduce memory allocations. [#94701](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94701) ([Yang Jiang](https://github.com/Ted-Jiang)).

[#91884](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/91884) ([Yarik Briukhovetskyi](https://github.com/yariks5s)).
* Fix DELTA_BYTE_ARRAY decoding bugs in native Parquet reader affecting highly repetitive string data. [#91929](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/91929) ([Daniel Muino](https://github.com/dmuino)).
* Cache schema only for the file it was inferred from in globs instead of all files during schema inference. Closes [#91745](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/91745). [#92006](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92006) ([Pavel Kruglov](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Fix the `Couldn't pack tar archive: Failed to write all bytes` error caused by an incorrect archive entry size header. Fixes [#89075](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/89075).

* Fix a `LOGICAL_ERROR`s that caused by not wanted modification of query plan when converting outer join to inner join. Also relax the requirements of optimization to be able to apply it in cases when injective functions are applied to the aggregating keys during joins. [#92503](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92503) ([János Benjamin Antal](https://github.com/antaljanosbenjamin)).
* Fix possible error `SIZES_OF_COLUMNS_DOESNT_MATCH` during sorting of emty tuple column. Closes [#92422](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/92422). [#92520](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92520) ([Pavel Kruglov](https://github.com/Avogar)).

This could've happened at column shrinking (`IColumn::shrinkToFit`) or filtering (`IColumn::filter`), which could've triggered concurrently from several threads. [#92588](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92588) ([Arsen Muk](https://github.com/arsenmuk)).
* Creating and materializing text indexes on tables containing large parts (over 4,294,967,295 rows) is temporarily disabled. This limitation prevents incorrect query results, as the current index implementation does not yet support such large parts. [#92644](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92644) ([Anton Popov](https://github.com/CurtizJ)).
* Fixes a logical error `Too large size (A) passed to allocator` while executing JOINs. Closes [#92043](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/92043). [#92667](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92667) ([Yarik Briukhovetskyi](https://github.com/yariks5s)).
* Remove a bug that `ngrambf_v1` indexes with ngram length (1st parameter) > 8 would throw an exception. [#92672](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92672) ([Robert Schulze](https://github.com/rschu1ze)).
* Fix uncaught exception during background named collections reload when zookeeper storage is used. Closes https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-private/issues/44180. [#92717](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/92717) ([Kseniia Sumarokova](https://github.com/kssenii)).
* Reworks incorrect logic in access grant checks for wildcard grants. The previous attempt https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/90928 addressed a critical vulnerability but ended up being too restrictive, resulting in some wildcard `GRANT` statements failing due to unrelated revokes.

* In https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/89173, we added an extra field to the structure that `TraceSender` sends through an internal pipe. However, the buffer size was not updated ([here](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/89173/changes#diff-36ecfac5cde34c92c031652d8a77f0d12782cd5d43e68d6ef159e6d46a54224fL44)), therefore we are writing more data to buffer than `buffer_size` which results in multiple flushes. And because `TraceSender::send` is called from different threads, different threads' flushes may interleave which breaks the invariant that the receiving end (`TraceCollector`) relies on. [#93966](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/93966) ([Miсhael Stetsyuk](https://github.com/mstetsyuk)).

* Fixed parquet reader v3 incorrectly handling arrays that cross page boundaries. This happens e.g. for files written by Arrow without enabling page statistics or page index. Affects only columns of Array data type. Likely symptom is that one array every ~1 MB of data gets truncated. Before this fix, use this setting as workaround: `input_format_parquet_use_native_reader_v3 = 0`. [#94125](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/94125) ([Michael Kolupaev](https://github.com/al13n321)).

* Converting from DateTime/integers to Time64 extracts the time-of-day component using `toTime`, which is not monotonic. The `ToDateTimeMonotonicity` template incorrectly claimed this conversion was monotonic, causing "Invalid binary search result in MergeTreeSetIndex" exception in debug builds. [#95125](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/95125) ([Alexey Milovidov](https://github.com/alexey-milovidov)).
