Highlights of Recent PR​

#3278 Added partitions and greptime_region_peers tables to the information schema​

  • Users can query the distribution of Table Partitions through the partitions table.

  • Users can query the distribution of regions through the greptime_region_peers table.

#3271 #3293 Optimized the allocation logic for TableID during table creation​

The new version allows procedures to handle the allocation of TableIDs during table creation, instead of pre-allocating TableIDs before table creation. This effectively reduces the waste of TableIDs in scenarios of concurrent table creations due to pre-allocation.

Corrected the incorrect propagation of tracing ID in query chains and fixed the call chains under distributed tracing.

#3325 Added migrate_region and procedure_state functions​

Users can migrate regions between Datanodes using the migrate_region function in SQL, and query the status of a specific procedure with the procedure_state function.

#3364 Optimized Column Filling Logic​

The logic for filling NULL values in Put and Delete requests has been optimized for the Mito2 Engine, resulting in up to a threefold performance improvement in Put requests under specific conditions.

#3360 GreptimeDB now supports the use of the isnull function in queries​
