# 2024 Changelog

### ClickHouse release v24.4.4.107-stable (af0ed6b197e) FIXME as compared to v24.4.3.25-stable (a915dd4eda4)

#### Improvement
* Backported in [#65884](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/65884): Always start Keeper with sufficient amount of threads in global thread pool. [#64444](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/64444) ([Duc Canh Le](https://github.com/canhld94)).
* Backported in [#65303](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/65303): Returned back the behaviour of how ClickHouse works and interprets Tuples in CSV format. This change effectively reverts https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/60994 and makes it available only under a few settings: `output_format_csv_serialize_tuple_into_separate_columns`, `input_format_csv_deserialize_separate_columns_into_tuple` and `input_format_csv_try_infer_strings_from_quoted_tuples`. [#65170](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/65170) ([Nikita Mikhaylov](https://github.com/nikitamikhaylov)).
* Backported in [#65894](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/65894): Respect cgroup CPU limit in Keeper. [#65819](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/65819) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).

#### Critical Bug Fix (crash, LOGICAL_ERROR, data loss, RBAC)
* Backported in [#65372](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/65372): Fix a bug in ClickHouse Keeper that causes digest mismatch during closing session. [#65198](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/65198) ([Aleksei Filatov](https://github.com/aalexfvk)).
* Backported in [#66883](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/66883): Fix unexpeced size of low cardinality column in function calls. [#65298](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/65298) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Backported in [#65435](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/65435): Forbid `QUALIFY` clause in the old analyzer. The old analyzer ignored `QUALIFY`, so it could lead to unexpected data removal in mutations. [#65356](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/65356) ([Dmitry Novik](https://github.com/novikd)).
* Backported in [#65448](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/65448): Use correct memory alignment for Distinct combinator. Previously, crash could happen because of invalid memory allocation when the combinator was used. [#65379](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/65379) ([Antonio Andelic](https://github.com/antonio2368)).
* Backported in [#65710](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/65710): Fix crash in maxIntersections. [#65689](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/65689) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).
* Backported in [#66689](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/66689): Fix the VALID UNTIL clause in the user definition resetting after a restart. Closes [#66405](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/66405). [#66409](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/66409) ([Nikolay Degterinsky](https://github.com/evillique)).

* Backported in [#65086](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/65086): Fix removing the `WHERE` and `PREWHERE` expressions, which are always true (for the new analyzer). [#64695](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/64695) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Backported in [#65540](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/65540): Fix crash for `ALTER TABLE ... ON CLUSTER ... MODIFY SQL SECURITY`. [#64957](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/64957) ([pufit](https://github.com/pufit)).

* Backported in [#65668](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/65668): Disable `non-intersecting-parts` optimization for queries with `FINAL` in case of `read-in-order` optimization was enabled. This could lead to an incorrect query result. As a workaround, disable `do_not_merge_across_partitions_select_final` and `split_parts_ranges_into_intersecting_and_non_intersecting_final` before this fix is merged. [#65505](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/65505) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Backported in [#65786](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/65786): Fixed bug in MergeJoin.

* Backported in [#65931](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/65931): For queries that read from `PostgreSQL`, cancel the internal `PostgreSQL` query if the ClickHouse query is finished. Otherwise, `ClickHouse` query cannot be canceled until the internal `PostgreSQL` query is finished. [#65771](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/65771) ([Maksim Kita](https://github.com/kitaisreal)).

* Backported in [#66299](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/66299): Better handling of join conditions involving `IS NULL` checks (for example `ON (a = b AND (a IS NOT NULL) AND (b IS NOT NULL) ) OR ( (a IS NULL) AND (b IS NULL) )` is rewritten to `ON a <=> b`), fix incorrect optimization when condition other then `IS NULL` are present. [#65835](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/65835) ([vdimir](https://github.com/vdimir)).
* Backported in [#66326](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/66326): Add missing settings `input_format_csv_skip_first_lines/input_format_tsv_skip_first_lines/input_format_csv_try_infer_numbers_from_strings/input_format_csv_try_infer_strings_from_quoted_tuples` in schema inference cache because they can change the resulting schema. It prevents from incorrect result of schema inference with these settings changed. [#65980](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/65980) ([Kruglov Pavel](https://github.com/Avogar)).
* Backported in [#66153](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/66153): Fixed buffer overflow bug in `unbin`/`unhex` implementation. [#66106](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/66106) ([Nikita Taranov](https://github.com/nickitat)).
* Backported in [#66459](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/66459): Fixed a bug in ZooKeeper client: a session could get stuck in unusable state after receiving a hardware error from ZooKeeper. For example, this might happen due to "soft memory limit" in ClickHouse Keeper. [#66140](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/66140) ([Alexander Tokmakov](https://github.com/tavplubix)).
* Backported in [#66224](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/66224): Fix issue in SumIfToCountIfVisitor and signed integers. [#66146](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/66146) ([Raúl Marín](https://github.com/Algunenano)).

* Backported in [#66603](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/66603): Fixed how the ClickHouse server detects the maximum number of usable CPU cores as specified by cgroups v2 if the server runs in a container such as Docker. In more detail, containers often run their process in the root cgroup which has an empty name. In that case, ClickHouse ignored the CPU limits set by cgroups v2. [#66237](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/66237) ([filimonov](https://github.com/filimonov)).
* Backported in [#66358](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/66358): Fix the `Not-ready set` error when a subquery with `IN` is used in the constraint. [#66261](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/66261) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).

* Backported in [#66950](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/66950): Fix an invalid result for queries with `WINDOW`. This could happen when `PARTITION` columns have sparse serialization and window functions are executed in parallel. [#66579](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/66579) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Backported in [#66947](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/66947): Fix `Method getResultType is not supported for QUERY query node` error when scalar subquery was used as the first argument of IN (with new analyzer).

* Backported in [#67377](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/67377): Fix error `Cannot convert column because it is non constant in source stream but must be constant in result.` for a query that reads from the `Merge` table over the `Distriburted` table with one shard. [#67146](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/67146) ([Nikolai Kochetov](https://github.com/KochetovNicolai)).
* Backported in [#67240](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/67240): This closes [#67156](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/67156). This closes [#66447](https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/66447). The bug was introduced in https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/62907.
