This preserves the replication slot created when the job is dropped. *** ### 2023.10.25-10.43 #### :sparkles: New Features * Running queries can now be [stopped via the UI](/content/reference-1/monitoring/system-catalog/monitoring/running-queries.md#cancel-a-running-query) with a new **Cancel** button next to a running query in the **Event Log**. * Running queries in Upsolver's Query Engine can now be stopped using the following new SQL syntax: [`ABORT QUERY `](broken://spaces/WKMq8oT1OPM3KjP8vlg2/pages/5TQ6yd3josGsQI5xjtKS#cancel-a-running-query). * You can now see what queries are running in Upsolver's Query Engine by querying the [`system.monitoring.running_queries`](broken://spaces/WKMq8oT1OPM3KjP8vlg2/pages/5TQ6yd3josGsQI5xjtKS) table. #### :wrench: Bug Fixes * Fixed inconsistent catalog names in [`system.insights`](broken://spaces/WKMq8oT1OPM3KjP8vlg2/pages/oTiKXiraYFpDp2tjlW7F) tables for Snowflake outputs. * Fixed an issue where [`FLATTEN_PATH`](/content/reference-1/sql-commands/jobs/create-job/transformation/job-options/data-lake-tables.md#flatten_paths) wasn't case insensitive with columns from a `SELECT *` statement. *** ### 2023.10.17-17.45 #### :wrench: Bug Fixes * Jobs: Fixed an issue causing NULL values when casting raw columns to multiple different types in the same query. *** ### 2023.10.11-11.26 #### :sparkles: New Features * Added two new system tables for viewing written column statistics: [system.insights.dataset\_column\_stats](/content/reference-1/monitoring/system-catalog/insights/dataset_column_stats.md) and [system.insights.job\_output\_column\_stats](/content/reference-1/monitoring/system-catalog/insights/job_output_column_stats.md). * Enabled [integrating monitoring data](broken://spaces/WKMq8oT1OPM3KjP8vlg2/pages/W961mDYEfczXnhgn8T3s) from Upsolver into third-party systems to ensure reliability and performance of data pipelines: * Support for [Amazon CloudWatch](/content/reference-1/sql-commands/jobs/create-job/monitoring/amazon-cloudwatch.md) * Support for [Datadog](/content/reference-1/sql-commands/jobs/create-job/monitoring/datadog.md) :arrow\_up: **Enhancements** * Improved query performance when selecting from the [system.monitoring.jobs](/content/reference-1/monitoring/system-catalog/monitoring/jobs.md) table. *** ### 2023.10.02-07.15 #### :sparkles: New Features * New function added: [`REGEXP_EXTRACT`](broken://spaces/WKMq8oT1OPM3KjP8vlg2/pages/ixoDAv0wybpLiU9sZ94f). * Allow the creation of a new cloud integration on a new organization. * Ingestion wizard: now supports [Confluent Cloud](/content/quickstarts-1/data-ingestion-wizard/using-the-wizard/source-set-up/confluent-cloud.md) as a source. * Ingestion jobs: now supports [Amazon S3](/content/reference-1/sql-commands/jobs/create-job/ingestion/amazon-s3.md#sqs_queue_name) via SQS. #### :arrow\_up: Enhancements * [Apache Kafka](/content/reference-1/sql-commands/connections/create-connection/apache-kafka.md) and [Confluent Kafka](/content/reference-1/sql-commands/connections/create-connection/confluent-cloud.md) connections: support setting `SASL` username and password with dedicated parameters `SASL_USERNAME` and `SASL_PASSWORD`. * UI design improvements. #### :wrench: Bug Fixes * When editing the number of shards in an Apache Kafka output job, Upsolver waits until the previous shards are completed before running the new shards. * Fixed an issue of **Query engine request timed out**. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://upsolver.gitbook.io/content/release-notes/earlier-releases/2023/october-2023.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
