Release 9.0.14.1¶

Smoother First-Time Login Experience¶

An issue causing some users to encounter a "Session Timeout" message on their first login attempt has been resolved. This issue was due to a minor delay in session initialization during authentication, leading to premature session expiration.

With this update, session handling is now more reliable, ensuring a smooth and successful login on the first attempt.

Enhanced Validation for Datazone Names and Policies¶

Datazone Names and Policy Names must now be unique across all Datazones. This ensures data integrity, prevents duplication, and enhances error reporting for constraint violations.

Improved Ranger Metrics Dashboard for Better Performance Monitoring¶

The Ranger Metrics Dashboard has been upgraded with new insights and expanded performance tracking capabilities. The updated dashboard now includes detailed tracking of login sessions per pod, monitoring of policy, tag, role, and user store versions in both the database and cache, as well as enhanced analytics that track cache refresh times from the database. It also now provides monitoring of security zones per service, time series data, and plugin interactions. Active Ranger services and connected plugins are tracked, and admin audit counts are displayed. Additionally, authentication sessions have been updated for improved tracking. These enhancements offer enhanced observability, troubleshooting capabilities, and performance optimization for Ranger.

Support for Read-Metadata Access on Database¶

This release introduces support for read-metadata access on databases. This feature is available when the Databricks SQL connector is configured to use the privacera_hive repository for defining resource policies.

Previously, granting the READ permission at the Databricks SQL database level did not provide access to database resources. With this update, the read-metadata permission is now automatically assigned when the READ permission is granted. This ensures that users can access the relevant metadata associated with the database.

Fix for DESCRIBE HISTORY Query Issue on DBR 14.3 LTS and above¶

This release resolves an issue that caused the DESCRIBE HISTORY query to fail with an error on DBR 14.3 LTS and later versions. With this fix, the query now executes successfully without any exceptions.

Support for Open Source Trino (OST) Versions 468 and 471¶

This release adds support for Open Source Trino (OST) runtime versions 468 and 471.

Support for Custom Service Repository in Trino Plugin¶

This release adds support for using a custom service repository in the Trino plugin. The feature is now available in the Portal.

New Metrics for Bucket Profiling in Dataserver Services¶

• Implemented logging to track the time required to identify new buckets from AWS S3 or MinIO profiles.
• Added metrics to monitor the number of AWS S3 and MinIO S3 bucket-to-profile mapping requests.
• Introduced tracking for the time spent processing first-time bucket lookups when a new bucket is created.
