Aug 1, 2025August 2025 (ydb-platform/ydb): Delivered notable reliability and performance improvements in the columnar storage deduplication path, tiering config handling, and shutdown safety. Implemented the Column shard Deduplication framework with a deduplication manager and filters, memory-management optimizations, default enablement, and expanded test coverage (including TPCH duplicates test). Enhanced tier configuration reliability via higher retry limits and a single-subscription-on-init mechanism for shards. Fixed safe actor shutdown by protecting unregistration when the actor system is already stopping, reducing crash risk. Achieved memory and throughput gains through dedup memory control, cache sizing, and reduced memory footprint of the splitter, and enabled simple reader in the column store to improve read paths. These changes reduce operational risk, improve stability during deploys, and deliver tangible business value through data integrity, performance, and resource efficiency.
