Jul 1, 20262026-07 monthly summary for opensearch-project/sql: Key feature delivered: Configurable Expression Depth Limit for Complex Queries. Implemented plugins.query.max_expression_depth to cap AST nesting during SQL/PPL parsing (default 1000; 0 disables). Added unit and integration tests to verify behavior and prevent stack overflow on deeply nested expressions. Major bugs fixed: none recorded in this month within the provided scope. Impact: increases stability and reliability for large/complex queries, reduces risk of outages, and improves resilience for customers running complex workloads. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Java-based AST construction, configuration flag design, comprehensive testing (unit + integration), code quality and CI readiness. Commit: a71179ea96cefe0082396e63b4e93dadb5fed7f9 (feat: Add configurable expression depth limit for AST building; PR #5602)
