What's On In Databend

Stay connected with the latest news about Databend.

Introduced a Rust Native Sqllogictest Framework

Sqllogictest verifies the results returned from a SQL database engine by comparing them with the results of other engines for the same queries.

In the past, Databend ran such tests using a program written in Python and migrated a large number of test cases from other popular databases. We implemented the program again with sqllogictest-rs in recent days.

Experimental: Native Format

PA is a native storage format based on Apache Arrow. Similar to Arrow IPC, PA aims at optimizing the storage layer.

Databend is introducing PA as a native storage format in the hope of getting a performance boost, though it's still at an early stage of development.

create table tmp (a int) ENGINE=FUSE STORAGE_FORMAT='native';

Checking File Existence Before Returning Presigned URL

When presigning a file, Databend currently returns a potentially valid URL based on the filename without checking if the file really exists. Thus, the 404 error might occur if the file doesn't exist at all.

Issue 8702: Before return presign url add file exist judgement
