Dec 1, 2025December 2025 delivered a set of architectural and language improvements in deephaven-core that drive performance, correctness, and developer productivity. A stateless-by-default query engine was rolled out to enable robust parallelization, with changes respecting the global stateless configuration. A hard-coded stateful path in ViewColumnSource constructors was fixed to ensure the engine honors QueryTable.STATELESS_SELECT_BY_DEFAULT, improving parallel execution behavior across workloads. Query language reliability was strengthened by restoring auto-generation of QueryLanguageFunction and by introducing NaN/null semantics (FilterIsNaN, MatchOptions), improving correctness for floating-point queries. Numeric operations gained first-class support for the char primitive, enabling accurate sorting and statistics with unsigned handling. IEEE-754 semantics were extended across aggregations and set operations, including NaN handling and -0.0 vs 0.0 handling in set operations. These changes collectively boost performance, precision, and scalability for analytics workloads with minimal user-impact on existing queries.
