Release Highlights

Reads and Writes

Snapshot Management

Catalog Improvements

ORC Read Support

Full ORC read support was added to the PyArrow I/O layer.

Sort Order Evolution

Sort order can now be updated on existing tables without recreating them.

Supported Endpoints in ConfigResponse

REST catalogs can now declare which endpoints they support via the ConfigResponse. The client checks operations against that set, falling back to defaults for older servers that don't return the field. If you call something the server doesn't support, you get a clear error instead of a cryptic failure.

REST Scan Planning

Table scans can now be planned server-side by REST catalogs. This release adds synchronous planning where the client sends a scan request and the server returns file scan tasks to be read. Async planning (submit, poll, cancel) is planned for a future release.

Breaking Changes

Infrastructure Improvements
