Changelog

OpenMetadata 1.13.5 is a maintenance release focused on connector reliability across REST, MLflow, DB2, Glue, and KafkaConnect, search and governance correctness, UI fixes, and a broad security dependency cleanup that also raises the ingestion package's Python floor to 3.10.

🔌 Connectors & Ingestion

  • Deploying an ingestion pipeline intermittently returned a 500 or timed out on Airflow 3.x #28744: Fixes a DagContext autoregister race in build_dag that caused the deploy endpoint to fail intermittently.
  • REST/OpenAPI: array properties with an inline object schema emitted a synthetic item: UNKNOWN child #32007: Expands the item's properties with their OpenMetadata types and descriptions instead.
  • REST/OpenAPI: API collections and endpoints could ingest out of order #31852: Persists all API collections before ingesting endpoints, so endpoints no longer reference a collection that hasn't been committed yet.
  • Sorting the ingestion pipelines list by type returned a MySQL 500 error #31915: Adds server-side displayName sort and keyset pagination, resolving the error.
  • MLflow Unity Catalog model version search broke on values needing escaping #31387: Switches to a single-quoted filter for the search query.
  • MLflow 3.x model signatures were not extracted and the registry listing was unpaginated #32091: Extracts 3.x model signatures and paginates the registry listing.
  • Athena: missing Lake Formation grants went undetected during test connection #29515: Test connection now detects missing Lake Formation grants.
  • BigQuery: table last-modified time wasn't captured #30316: Ingests each table's last-modified timestamp into lifeCycle.updated, alongside the existing created timestamp.
  • DB2: sqlalchemy-ibmi dialect incompatible with SQLAlchemy 2.0 #30731: Adapts the dialect so DB2 ingestion works on SQLAlchemy 2.0.
  • DB2: concurrent ingestion runs could conflict while installing the CLI driver #32154: Caches a successfully installed driver per process, serializes concurrent installs, and keeps failed installs retryable.
  • Airflow: ingestion metadata was lost on API failures #31371: Prevents metadata loss when an Airflow API call fails mid-ingestion.
  • Trino: unnamed and quoted ROW fields mishandled during reflection #31402: Reflection now correctly handles unnamed and quoted ROW fields.
  • REST API: array-root schemas failed to parse #31698: Schemas with an array at the root now parse correctly.
  • OpenLineage: Kafka SSL and password handling was missing on 1.13 #32104: Backports SSL and password handling for Kafka-backed OpenLineage events.
  • Doris: unofficial driver caused ingestion issues #32164: Ingestion now uses the official pydoris driver.
  • Looker: trailing slash in hostPort broke SDK URL concatenation #31761: The trailing slash is stripped before the SDK builds request URLs.
  • Glue: duplicate columns caused partition keys to drop the whole table #32106: Columns are deduplicated so partition keys no longer cause a full table drop.
  • Glue: a custom databaseName dropped every schema #32400: Custom databaseName values no longer wipe out schema ingestion.
  • Nested column metadata was lost during re-ingestion #32155: Nested column metadata now survives re-ingestion.
  • KafkaConnect: topic-namespace membership was emitted as lineage #32420: Topic-namespace membership is no longer misreported as a lineage edge.
  • pygtrie 2.6 broke import airflow on Python 3.10 #32431: Caps pygtrie below 2.6 so ingestion imports Airflow correctly.

📊 Data Quality

  • TestCaseRepository.linkedTablesCache caused intermittent 500s #32119: Makes the cache static, stopping the intermittent errors.
  • Databricks profiler: remaining SQL failures #32440: Resolves the remaining SQL failures in the Databricks profiler.
  • Migration: TestSuite pipelines on PostgreSQL, or MySQL with a case-sensitive collation, kept the old flat profiler sampling fields #32511: Replays the 1.13.0 migration with the correct casing, so those pipelines get the nested profileSampleConfig like every other deployment.

🔍 Search & Discovery

  • No way to filter Explore by Data Product #32015: Adds Data Product as a top-level Explore filter.
  • Search results could look stale right after a reindex reported complete #32171: A distributed reindex no longer reports success until the new index is fully promoted.
  • columnDescriptionStatus ignored nested columns #32202: The status now recurses into nested columns.
  • View lineage tore an FQN (fully qualified name) component in half if it contained a dot #31483: The FQN split is now quote-aware, so a schema or table name containing a . no longer breaks lineage resolution.

🛡️ Data Governance & Quality

  • A deleted domain's assets and activity reappeared if a domain of the same name was recreated #31879: Recreating a domain with a previously used name no longer resurfaces the old domain's assets and activity.
  • Glossary: system-defined relation types could be edited through the generic settings PUT #31945: Field edits to system-defined relation types are now rejected.
  • Incident Manager listing didn't enforce caller policies #31936: The listing now enforces the caller's policies.
  • Data Products couldn't be assigned across domains even with domain validation disabled #32237: Cross-domain Data Product assignment now works when the domain validation rule is disabled.
  • User patch requests bypassed the expected permission checks #32323: Fixes user patch permission enforcement.
  • Pub/Sub credentials weren't masked correctly #32391: Converts persisted Pub/Sub credentials to their generated schema classes before masking and unmasking, so they're consistently protected.
  • PII scanner missed separated Aadhaar numbers #31900: Recognizes Aadhaar numbers written with separators.
  • PII scanner ties among equally weighted classifications were unresolved #31961: The NER (named entity recognition) scanner now breaks weighted-score ties by confidence.

🔐 Authentication

  • OIDC (OpenID Connect) login handler and MCP callback auth relied on an EOL pac4j line #32408: Upgrades pac4j and adapts the login and MCP callback handlers to its API changes.
  • A Jetty version mismatch caused a runtime linkage error #32408: Aligns the Jetty dependency management to fix the mismatch.

🎛️ UI

  • Some views had no loading fallback while data streamed in #31827: Backports Suspense loader fallbacks to 1.13.
  • A URL with no tab segment didn't render the tab already on screen #32029: The current tab renders correctly when the URL omits the tab segment.
  • Persona customization pages crashed when a page was null #32037: Null persona customization pages are now handled gracefully.
  • Icons occasionally failed to render #32066: Icon rendering now reflects the actual load outcome instead of a regex pre-check.
  • Classification tags didn't display configured custom icons #32232: Custom icons configured for classification tags now display correctly.
  • Selected persona reset to the default on page refresh #32268: The active persona now persists across a refresh via sessionStorage.
  • Math equations were silently stripped on save #32402: Preserves <block-math-equation> nodes through both the frontend and backend sanitizers.
