What's New in v2.0.0-rc.2

Distributed Cayenne Query and Write Improvements

Distributed query for Cayenne-backed tables now has better partition awareness for both reads and writes.

Key improvements:

  • Data-Local Query Routing: Cayenne catalog queries can now be routed to executors that hold the relevant partitions, improving distributed query efficiency.
  • Partition-Aware Write Through: Scheduler-side Flight DoPut ingestion now splits partitioned Cayenne writes and forwards them to the responsible executors instead of routing through a single raw-forward path.
  • Dynamic Partition Assignment: Newly observed partitions can be added and assigned atomically as data arrives, with persisted partition metadata for future routing.
  • Better Cluster Coordination: Partition management is now separated for accelerated and federated tables, improving routing behavior for distributed Cayenne catalog workloads.
  • Distributed UPDATE/DELETE DML: UPDATE and DELETE statements for Cayenne catalog tables are now forwarded to all executors in distributed mode, with all executors required to succeed.
  • Distributed runtime.task_history: Task history is now replicated across the distributed cluster for observability.
  • RefreshDataset Control Stream: Dataset refresh operations are now distributed via the control stream to executors.
  • Executor DDL Sync: When an executor connects, it receives DDL for all existing tables, ensuring late-joining executors have full table state.

MERGE INTO for Spice Cayenne

Spice now supports MERGE INTO statements for Cayenne catalog tables, enabling upsert-style data operations with full distributed support.

Key improvements:

  • MERGE INTO Support: Execute MERGE INTO statements against Cayenne catalog tables for combined insert/update/delete operations.
  • Distributed MERGE: MERGE operations are automatically distributed across executors in cluster mode.
  • Data Safety: Duplicate source keys are detected and prevented to avoid data loss during MERGE operations.
  • Chunked Delete Filters: Large MERGE delete filter lists are chunked to prevent stack overflow with Vortex IN-list expressions.

PARTITION BY Support for Cayenne

SQL Partition Management: Spice now supports PARTITION BY for Cayenne-backed CREATE TABLE statements, enabling partition definitions to be expressed directly in SQL and persisted in the Cayenne catalog.

Key improvements:

  • SQL Partition Definition: Define Cayenne table partitioning directly in SQL using CREATE TABLE ... PARTITION BY (...).
  • Partition Validation: Partition expressions are parsed and validated during DDL analysis before table creation.
  • Persisted Partition Metadata: Partition metadata is stored in the Cayenne catalog and can be reloaded by the runtime after restart.
  • Distributed DDL Support: Partition metadata is forwarded when CREATE TABLE is distributed to executors in cluster mode.
  • Improved Type Support: Partition utilities now support newer string scalar variants such as Utf8View.

Example:

CREATE TABLE events (id INT, region TEXT, ts TIMESTAMP) PARTITION BY (region)

Catalog Connector Enhancements

Spice now includes additional catalog connectors for major database systems, improving schema discovery and federation workflows across external data systems.

Key improvements:

  • New Catalog Connectors: Added catalog connectors for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, and Snowflake.
  • Schema and Table Discovery: Connectors use native metadata catalogs such as information_schema / INFORMATION_SCHEMA to discover schemas and tables.
  • Improved Federation Workflows: These connectors make it easier to expose external database metadata through Spice for cross-system federation scenarios.
  • PostgreSQL Partitioned Tables: Fixed schema discovery for PostgreSQL partitioned tables.

Example PostgreSQL catalog configuration:

catalogs:
- from: pg
name: pg
include:
- 'public.*'
params:
pg_host: localhost
pg_port: 5432
pg_user: postgres
pg_pass: ${secrets:POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
pg_db: my_database
pg_sslmode: disable

JSON Ingestion Improvements

JSON ingestion is now more flexible and robust.

Key improvements:

  • More JSON Formats: Added support for single-object JSON documents, auto-detected JSON formats, and Socrata SODA responses.
  • json_pointer Extraction: Extract nested payloads before schema inference and reading using RFC 6901 JSON Pointer syntax.
  • Better Auto-Detection: JSON format detection now handles arrays, objects, JSONL, and BOM-prefixed input more reliably, including single multi-line objects.
  • SODA Support: Added schema extraction and data conversion for Socrata Open Data API responses.
  • Broader Compatibility: Improved handling for BOM-prefixed files, CRLF-delimited JSONL, nested payloads, mixed structures, and wrapped documents.

Example using json_pointer to extract nested data from an API response:

datasets:
- from: https://api.example.com/v1/data
name: users
params:
json_pointer: /data/users

DataFusion v52.4.0 Upgrade

Apache DataFusion has been upgraded from v52.2.0 to v52.4.0, with aligned updates across arrow-rs, datafusion-federation, and datafusion-table-providers.

Key improvements:

  • DataFusion v52.4.0: Brings the latest fixes and compatibility improvements across query planning and execution.
  • Strict Overflow Handling: try_cast_to now uses strict cast to return errors on overflow instead of silently producing NULL values.
  • Federation Fix: Fixed SQL unparsing for Inexact filter pushdown with aliases.
  • Partial Aggregation Optimization: Improved partial aggregation performance for FlightSQLExec.

Dependency Upgrades

DependencyVersion / Update
Turso (libsql)v0.5.3 (from v0.4.4)
iceberg-rustv0.9
VortexMap type support, stack-safe IN-lists

    params:
    s3_endpoint: https://minio.local:9000
    s3_url_style: path
  • S3 Parquet Performance: Improved S3 parquet read performance.

  • HTTP Caching: Transient HTTP error responses such as 429 and 5xx are no longer cached, preventing stale error payloads from being served from cache.

Spice v1.2.0 (Apr 28, 2025)

· 16 min read
Evgenii Khramkov
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.
