4.0.8

Release Date: March 25, 2026

Behavior Changes

• Improved sql_mode handling: when DIVISION_BY_ZERO or FAIL_PARSE_DATE mode is set, division by zero and date parse failures in str_to_date/str2date now return an error instead of being silently ignored. #70004
• When sql_mode is set to FORBID_INVALID_DATE, invalid dates in INSERT VALUES clauses are now correctly rejected instead of being bypassed. #69803
• Expression partition generated columns are now hidden from DESC and SHOW CREATE TABLE output. #69793
• Client ID is no longer included in audit logs. #69383

Improvements

• Added a configuration item local_exchange_buffer_mem_limit_per_driver to limit the local exchange buffer size to dop * local_exchange_buffer_mem_limit_per_driver. #70393
• Cached file existence check results across versions in check_missing_files to reduce redundant storage I/O. #70364
• Allowed disabling split and reverse scan ranges for descending TopN runtime filters when desc_hint_split_range is set to ≤ 0. #70307
• Added EXPLAIN and EXPLAIN ANALYZE support for INSERT statements in the Trino dialect. #70174
• Optimized Iceberg read performance when position deletes are present. #69717
• Optimized materialized view best-selector strategy based on distributed keys to improve materialized view selection accuracy. #69679
