clickhouse-java v0.9.7

Important Notes

Behavior of Client.Builder.addEndpoint(String) was changed: now it saves URL base path (more in https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2344). Previously this method was ignoring base path. Please pay attention that this method still ignores query parameters. Endpoint is NOT like JDBC URL. Client has designated builder method to set configuration.

Breaking Changes

[client-v2] Client.Builder#build() now throws ClientMisconfigurationException when an unknown configuration property is passed. Previously, unknown properties were silently ignored what caused unexpected behaviour and problems. To restore the old behavior, add ignore_unknown_config_key=true to the client properties. JDBC driver-only properties (e.g. ssl) are no longer forwarded to the underlying client. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2658)
[client-v2] Date/Date32 columns are now decoded as LocalDate without any timezone adjustment. Previously, Date values could be returned as ZonedDateTime. Applications that need a ZonedDateTime must construct it from the returned LocalDate using their own timezone context. More read about it - https://clickhouse.com/docs/integrations/language-clients/java/jdbc_date_time_guide (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/pull/2727)

Improvements

[client-v2] Added option to send query parameters in the HTTP request body using multipart form encoding. Enabled via the new client.http.use_form_request_for_query configuration property (or Client.Builder#useHttpFormDataForQuery()). Useful when query parameters would exceed URL length limits. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2324)
[client-v2] QueryResponse, InsertResponse, and CommandResponse now expose getServerDisplayName() to retrieve the value of the X-ClickHouse-Server-Display-Name HTTP response header. A full map of whitelisted response headers is accessible via getResponseHeaders(). (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2347)
[client-v2] Added getObjectArray() to ClickHouseBinaryFormatReader and GenericRecord to read Array(...) columns as Object[], including recursive support for nested arrays. getStringArray() now also handles Array(Enum*) by returning enum names. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2738)
[jdbc-v2] Added support for reading and writing byte[] for String/FixedString columns. PreparedStatement#setBytes() encodes the value as a ClickHouse unhex() expression to preserve raw bytes; ResultSet#getBytes() returns the UTF-8 bytes of the string value. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/pull/2734)
[client-v2] Preserve path part from URL passed to builder method `addEndpoint() (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/pull/2691)

Date and Time Handling

[docs] Added a document that explains how driver handles different date/time values.
[client-v2, jdbc-v2] Fixed writing Date/Time/Timestamp values so that timezone conversions are performed explicitly. Previously, timezone-naïve encoding caused day-shift and precision bugs, especially when a Calendar or non-default JVM timezone was in use. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2701, https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2065, https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2496, https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/1220, https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/1117, https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/1048, https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2381, https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/1735, https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2542, https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2557)
[client-v2, jdbc-v2] Fixed reading Date/Time/DateTime values to be consistent and correct. Date/Date32 are now decoded as LocalDate (no timezone), while Time/Time64 are decoded as UTC-based LocalDateTime. New getLocalTime() API added to readers for LocalTime access. Reading date/time from Dynamic and Variant columns is also fixed. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/pull/2727)
[jdbc-v2] DatabaseMetaDataImpl#getTypeInfo() now returns type information in deterministic alphabetical order, matching v1 driver behavior. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/pull/2733)

SQL Parser (jdbc-v2)

[jdbc-v2] Fixed SQL parser failing to handle ClickHouse keywords used as table names or column aliases (e.g. AS value, FROM date). Both the ANTLR4 and JavaCC parsers now maintain a list of non-reserved keywords allowed in identifier positions. Also fixed parsing of DESCRIBE (SELECT ...), IN operator in SELECT, and bracketed array access in expressions. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2718)
[jdbc-v2] Updated SQL parsers to recognise new ClickHouse keywords (ABI, ARGUMENTS, DRY, LANGUAGE, RETURNS, RUN) introduced in recent ClickHouse HEAD builds. Previously, queries using these keywords as identifiers would fail to parse. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/pull/2761)
[jdbc-v2] Fixed SQL parser failing on statements containing the ^ (caret) operator, such as toJSONString(data.^header_index). A new CARET token is now recognised and allowed in dotted identifier chains. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2768)

Array and Collection Handling

[jdbc-v2] Fixed DataTypeConverter causing NPE when converting nested arrays to strings (e.g. ResultSet#getString() on an Array(Array(...)) column). The converter is now re-entrancy-safe. Previously was throwing NullPointerException. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2723)
[client-v2, jdbc-v2] Fixed conversion of multi-dimensional List/array values into Java arrays. Child array dimensions are now calculated correctly from the parent depth level. Previously, converting List<List<T>> or similar structures produced incorrect results. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2741)
[client-v2] Fixed binary array decoding when the first element of an array is an empty Map or List. Previously, this caused a type mismatch error during array population. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2499, https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2657, https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2703)

Bug Fixes

[jdbc-v2] Fixed DatabaseMetaDataImpl#getJDBCMajorVersion() and getJDBCMinorVersion() returning the ClickHouse driver version instead of the supported JDBC specification version. Now correctly returns 4 and 2 (JDBC 4.2). (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/pull/2736)
[jdbc-v2] Added mapping for all known ClickHouse table engines to JDBC table types. Added MATERIALIZED VIEW as a new table type. getTables() now correctly reports remote/external engine tables that were previously invisible. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2664)
[jdbc-v2] Fixed NullPointerException in JDBC type metadata for columns of type Map, IPv4, IPv6, UUID, BFloat16, Decimal256, Geometry, all Interval* types, JSON, LowCardinality, Nullable, Variant, Dynamic, and others. Previously these types had no Java class mapping. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2711)
[jdbc-v2] ClickHouse server error codes are now propagated to SQLException#getErrorCode(). Previously, SQLException was created without the vendor error code, making it impossible to distinguish error types programmatically. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2717)
[client-v2] Fixed max_execution_time not being sent correctly to the server. Previously, it was treated as a client option and ignored by ClickHouse; it is now transmitted as a server setting. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2750)
[client-v2] Fixed hasValue(columnName) throwing an exception when the column name does not exist. Previously, referencing an unknown column or an out-of-range index via hasValue() would throw; it now returns false. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2755)
[jdbc-v2] Fixed PreparedStatement reporting missing parameters using 0-based indices in the error message. JDBC parameter positions are 1-based; the error message now reflects this correctly. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/pull/2749)
[jdbc-v2] Ported legacy JDBC v1 connection properties (CUSTOM_HTTP_PARAMS, CUSTOM_SETTINGS, HTTP_CONNECTION_PROVIDER, REMEMBER_LAST_SET_ROLES, USE_SERVER_TIME_ZONE_FOR_DATES) to JDBC v2. Required for integrations that share JDBC v1/v2 configuration code. custom_http_params and custom_settings values are converted to server settings automatically. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/pull/2757)
[client-v2, jdbc-v2] Fixed custom_-prefixed configuration properties not being forwarded to the server as custom settings when using the custom_ prefix. Also fixed driver-only properties (e.g. ssl) being incorrectly forwarded to the HTTP client. (https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-java/issues/2658)
