Apache CarbonData community is pleased to announce the release of the Version 1.6.1 in The Apache Software Foundation (ASF). 

CarbonData is a high-performance data solution that supports various data analytic scenarios, including BI analysis, ad-hoc SQL query, fast filter lookup on detail record, streaming analytics, and so on. CarbonData has been deployed in many enterprise production environments, in one of the largest scenarios, it supports queries on a single table with 3PB data (more than 5 trillion records) with response time less than 3 seconds!

We encourage you to use the release https://archive.apache.org/dist/carbondata/1.6.1/, and feedback through the CarbonData user mailing lists!

This release note provides information on the new features, improvements, and bug fixes of this release.

What’s New in CarbonData Version 1.6.1?

CarbonData 1.6.1 intention was to move closer to unified analytics and improve the stability. In this version of CarbonData, around 40 JIRA tickets related to improvements, and bugs have been resolved. Following are the summary.


Index Server performance improvements for Full Scan and TPCH Queries


Carbon currently prunes and caches all block/blocklet datamap index information into the driver. If the cache size becomes huge(70-80% of the driver memory) then there can be excessive GC in the driver which can slow down the queries and the driver may even go OutOfMemory. Moving out the indexes to separate JDBCServer reduced the overhead on the primary JDBCServer, but introduced delay in fetching the bulk pruning blocks list from the Index server. This is improved in this release and performance is same as running without Index Server.
