2 Commits • 1 Features
Apr 1, 2026April 2026 focused on enabling and hardening YugabyteDB's global views path in YSQL. Delivered database-scoped global view queries by threading the database name through RPCs to remote tservers, enabling correct querying of database-specific views (e.g., pg_stat_all_tables, pg_stat_database). Strengthened reliability by adding the required error code field to TabletServerErrorPB in the global-views path Respond flow, improving debugging and error handling for remote query execution. Validated changes with targeted tests (pg_global_views-test) and prepared upgrade/rollback considerations for GV readiness. This work enhances observability, correctness, and the foundation for Global Views release, delivering business value through accurate analytics and more reliable remote-query behavior.

Sep 1, 2025In September 2025, delivered enhanced observability and performance insights for the DocumentDB path in YugabyteDB. Implemented new RPC statistics exposure in pg_stat_statements, introduced a storage-to-query layer metric (docdb_rows_returned), and refactored session statistics collection to run during query execution for more accurate reporting. Added a toggleable GUC (yb_enable_pg_stat_statements_rpc_stats) to control RPC wait-time capture, enabling flexible production overhead management. Expanded test coverage with Java tests validating RPC stats and docdb_rows_returned across DML/DDL operations. These changes enable faster diagnostics, targeted performance tuning, and improved capacity planning.
