Databricks JDBC driver 2.8.0 is available​

March 18, 2026

Databricks JDBC driver version 2.8.0 is now available for download. The new version includes the following features:

  • Upgrades the Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J) from version 1.7.36 to 2.0.13 and moves slf4j-api to the root package path to align with standard SLF4J usage. The driver no longer depends on Log4j.
  • The EnableTelemetry connection property is now on by default. The driver only sends telemetry when the workspace allows it.

This release also includes the following bug fixes:

  • Fixes an incorrect error message when the driver can't write to the configured log path.
  • Fixes a connectivity failure when using HTTP proxies that don't require authentication.

ABAC policy functions now use snake_case naming​

March 13, 2026

ABAC policy tag functions now use snake_case naming (has_tag, has_tag_value, has_column_tag, has_column_tag_value), consistent with other Databricks SQL built-in functions. The camelCase forms (hasTag, hasTagValue, hasColumnTag, hasColumnTagValue) continue to work for backward compatibility, but Databricks plans to deprecate their use when creating new policies in the future. Databricks recommends updating any new policies to use the snake_case forms. See Create and manage attribute-based access control (ABAC) policies.

Some partner-powered AI features are now available in-country for Brazil, Canada, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and the UK​

March 13, 2026

The following features are now available through models hosted in-country in Brazil, Canada, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and the UK:

  • Genie Code chat and cell actions
  • Genie (excluding research agent)
  • AI-generated comments
  • AI/BI dashboards

Workspaces in these countries can use these features with Enforce data processing within workspace Geography for Designated Services enabled and partner-powered AI features enabled. For these features in the listed countries, in-country data routing is enforced, meaning data does not leave the country.

If partner-powered AI features is disabled, Genie Code can use Databricks-hosted models only if Enforce data processing within workspace Geography for Designated Services is disabled.

All other designated services continue to comply with data residency managed by Databricks Geos. Some AI capabilities that depend on models not currently hosted in these countries might not be available when Enforce data processing within workspace Geography for Designated Services is enabled. See Databricks Geos: Data residency for more information on which features require cross-geo processing.

Automatic deletion of empty vector search endpoints​

March 13, 2026

Vector search endpoints are now only charged after an index has been created, and 24 hours after the last index is deleted from the endpoint, the endpoint no longer incurs any charges.

For more information, see Vector search cost management guide.
