Spice v1.2.0 (Apr 28, 2025)

April 29, 2025 · 12 min read

Senior Software Engineer at Spice AI

Announcing the release of Spice v1.2.0! 🚀

Spice v1.2.0 is a significant update. It upgrades DataFusion to v45 and Arrow to v54. This release brings faster query performance, support for parameterized queries in SQL and HTTP APIs, and the ability to accelerate views. Several bugs have been fixed and dependencies updated for better stability and speed.

DataFusion v45 Highlights

Spice.ai is built on the DataFusion query engine. The v45 release brings:

Faster Performance 🚀: DataFusion is now the fastest single-node engine for Apache Parquet files in the clickbench benchmark. Performance improved by over 33% from v33 to v45. Arrow StringView is now on by default, making string and binary data queries much faster, especially with Parquet files.
Better Quality 📋: DataFusion now runs over 5 million SQL tests per push using the SQLite sqllogictest suite. There are new checks for logical plan correctness and more thorough pre-release testing.
New SQL Functions ✨: Added show functions, to_local_time, regexp_count, map_extract, array_distance, array_any_value, greatest, least, and arrays_overlap.

See the DataFusion 45.0.0 release notes for details.

Spice.ai upgrades to the latest minus one DataFusion release to ensure adequate testing and stability. The next upgrade to DataFusion v46 is planned for Spice v1.3.0 in May.

What's New in v1.2.0

Parameterized Queries: Parameterized queries are now supported with the Flight SQL API and HTTP API. Positional and named arguments via $1 and :param syntax are supported, respectively. Logical plans for SQL statements are cached for faster repeated queries.

Example Cookbook recipes:
See the API Documentation for additional details.

Accelerated Views: Views, not just datasets, can now be accelerated. This provides much better performance for views that perform heavy computation.

Example spicepod.yaml:

views:
  - name: accelerated_view
    acceleration:
      enabled: true
      engine: duckdb
      primary_key: id
      refresh_check_interval: 1h
    sql: |
      select * from dataset_a
      union all
      select * from dataset_b

See the Data Acceleration documentation.

Memory Usage Metrics & Configuration: Runtime now tracks memory usage as a metric, and a new runtime memory_limit parameter is available. The memory limit parameter applies specifically to the runtime and should be used in addition to existing memory usage configuration, such as duckdb_memory_limit. Memory usage for queries beyond the memory limit will spill to disk.

See the Memory Reference for details.

New Worker Component: Workers are new configurable compute units in the Spice runtime. They help manage compute across models and tools, handle errors, and balance load. Workers are configured in the workers section of spicepod.yaml.

Example spicepod.yaml:

workers:
  - name: round-robin
    description: |
      Distributes requests between 'foo' and 'bar' models in a round-robin fashion.
    models:
      - from: foo
      - from: bar
  - name: fallback
    description: |
      Tries 'bar' first, then 'foo', then 'baz' if earlier models fail.
    models:
      - from: foo
        order: 2
      - from: bar
        order: 1
      - from: baz
        order: 3

See the Workers Documentation for details.

Databricks Model Provider: Databricks models can now be used with from: databricks:model_name.

Example spicepod.yaml:

models:
  - from: databricks:llama-3_2_1_1b_instruct
    name: llama-instruct
    params:
      databricks_endpoint: dbc-46470731-42e5.cloud.databricks.com
      databricks_token: ${ secrets:SPICE_DATABRICKS_TOKEN }

See the Databricks model documentation.

spice chat CLI Improvements: The spice chat command now supports an optional --temperature parameter. A one-shot chat can also be sent with spice chat <message>.
More Type Support: Added support for Postgres JSON type and DuckDB Dictionary type.
Other Improvements:
- New image tags let you pick memory allocators for different use-cases: jemalloc, sysalloc, and mimalloc.
- Better error handling and logging for chat and model operations.

Adds runtime rewritten in Rust for high-performance.
Adds Apache DataFusion SQL query engine.
Adds The Spice.ai platform as a data source.
Adds Dremio as a data source.
Adds OpenTelemetry (OTEL) collector.
Adds local data table acceleration.
Adds DuckDB file or in-memory as a data table acceleration engine.
Adds In-memory Apache Arrow as a data table acceleration engine.
Removes the built-in AI training engine; now cloud-based and provided by the Spice.ai platform.
Removes the built-in dashboard and web-interface; now cloud-based and provided by the Spice.ai platform.
