Databricks Runtime versions used by this release​

note

Because DLT channel releases follow a rolling upgrade process, channel upgrades are deployed to different regions at different times. Your release, including Databricks Runtime versions, might not be updated until a week or more after the initial release date. To find the Databricks Runtime version for a pipeline, see Runtime information.

New features and improvements​

  • CREATE PRIVATE { MATERIALIZED VIEW | STREAMING TABLE } is now supported in DLT pipelines. Use the PRIVATE parameter to create materialized views or streaming tables without publishing them to a catalog. To learn more, see CREATE STREAMING TABLE (DLT) and CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW (DLT).
  • You can now use CREATE TEMPORARY VIEW in DLT pipelines to create a view that is only persisted within the pipeline. To learn more, see CREATE TEMPORARY VIEW (DLT).
  • Improved the INITIALIZING performance for pipeline updates.

Bug fixes​

  • This release fixes an uncommon issue where Hive metastore streaming checkpoints are stored and read from the DBFS root instead of the location specified by the user.
  • This release fixes an issue where an event hook fails to make forward progress.
