New features
- We have introduced new AWS S3 extractor
- RStudio and Jupyter Sandboxes are available for testing. If you are interested in playing with these Sandboxes please contact us at support@keboola.com. Thank you all for interest and feedback.
Bugfixes and minor improvements
- Fixed setting of primary key on Redshift backed table when table contained column name row_number
- Invalid data type errors are propagated to user when loading data into sandboxes or transformations
- Access to snowflake sandbox https://keboola.snowflakecomputing.com/console sometimes didn't work. Fixed.
- Fixed frozen table selector in writers
- CSV import - gzipped files are supported
- It is now possible to select server version in SQL Server Database Writer:
Developers
- OAuth credentials injection - all required credential parameters in the configuration can be pasted directly.
We're launching new AWS S3 Extractor. It allows you to download a single or multiple CSV files from S3 to a single table in Storage.
Read more in the documentation and try it out in your project, available now!
If you have feature requests, please let us know at wishlist@keboola.com.
Between Feb 02 22:40 UTC and Feb 03 17:25 UTC all Snowflake Writer jobs ended with the following error:
SQL compilation error: conflicting values file format parameter 'ESCAPE_UNENCLOSED_FIELD', SQL state 42601 in SQLPrepare.
We have identified the root cause of this issue and fixed it. All Snowflake writers should be fully operational now.
Please accept our sincere apologies for this inconvenience.
We have been working on RStudio and Jupyter Notebook sandboxes (these are the missing sandboxes for R and Python transformations) for some time and we now feel that it is time to move to the next phase.
We can now enable these on a per-user basis for early adopters. If you are interested in playing with these Sandboxes please contact us at support@keboola.com (don't forget to tell us your KBC email).
Limitations:
- Sandboxes are available only as plain sandboxes (not in a transformation bucket yet)
- HTTPS is not yet supported.
- Sandbox disk space is limited to 10GB.
- Memory is limited to 8GB.
- The UI allows loading only tables to the Sandbox. Loading input files and transformation script is supported only by the API.
- Sandboxes will be deleted after 5 days.
- Adding data to existing sandboxes is not supported.
Otherwise, it's like RStudio connected to your KBC project:
The CSV file locations are the same as in transformations (/data/in/tables/). In the meantime, we will work on:
- HTTPS Support.
- Creating better UI and integration with transformations.
- Allowing tables and files to be added to a running sandbox.
Sandboxes
We have introduced garbage collection for MySQL sandboxes. All sandboxes will be automatically discarded after 14 days. Redshift and Snowflake sandboxes will follow soon.
BigQuery Extractor
The Extractor allows you run query with BigQuery legacy SQL or standard SQL dialect.
Snowflake Writer
Empty values are now converted to NULL when the column is set to nullable.
GoodData Extractor
Old version of GoodData extractor has been deprecated in December and will be switched off in upcoming days. Please migrate to the new version if you haven't done it yet. More information here.
Project Access Approval
Now you can require that visiting support administrators will have their access request approved by an existing project member in order to temporarily join your project. See this article for more information.
In an effort to increase account sovereignty we've introduced a new feature that will give you more control over who can access your projects and for what purposes. It is now possible to require that visiting support administrators have their access request approved by an existing project member in order to temporarily join a project.
The setting can be found in your Account settings at the organization level. This setting will apply to all projects within the organization.
When the support user completes the request form, an email describing the access request is sent to each project member.
The requested access will be listed in the project settings Users section and can be approved or rejected by any active project member.
Please feel free to check out the help documentation or contact us at support@keboola.com If you have any questions.
There were few job failures between 20:55 and 21:15 CEST, due to problems on one of our workers.
We're sorry for this inconvenience, we have restarted the affected orchestrations.
Snowflake backend is experiencing service stability issues which may manifest itself as failed queries or service unavailability. Snowflake engineers are working on fix.
Read more on Snowflake status page.
Update (11:34 PM PST) - Snowflake is still in a recovery process and don't have a defined ETA.
Update (12:38 AM PST) - Service is back online
A few months ago we released a new generation of database writers.
If you are still using the old, deprecated, database writers in your KBC projects, it's time to migrate!
To help with this, we have just released a migration tool for old MySQL, Oracle and Redshift database writers.
