Jun 1, 2025June 2025 — Apache Paimon (apache/paimon) delivered two major REST-related feature improvements with accompanying tests and API stability enhancements. Key changes: 1) Partition naming utility (PartitionUtils.buildPartitionName) and multi-level paged partition listing integrated into RESTCatalogServer, with new test testListPartitionsPagedWithMultiLevel. 2) REST API enhancement to return Identifier objects for global table/view listings, introducing ListTablesGloballyResponse and ListViewsGloballyResponse and aligning OpenAPI/specs. Minor internal stability improvement via hotfix to optimize return types (ListTablesGlobally & ListViewsGlobally). Impact: more robust and consistent API, easier client integration, better data representation for global listings, and improved support for multi-level partition queries.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 (apache/paimon) – Delivered scalable REST Catalog enhancements with robust pagination and API lifecycle management. Implemented paged listing for REST Catalog entities (tables, views, partitions) via new PagedList and pagination-enabled interfaces, plus a stability fix to avoid dead loops. Extended paged databases listing with ListDatabasesPaged across AbstractCatalog/DelegateCatalog/RESTCatalog and nextPageToken support in ListDatabasesResponse. Expanded catalog REST API surface with OpenAPI definitions for create/list/get/alter/drop and a new get-by-ID endpoint, plus a catalog lifecycle status field (NEW/INITIALIZING/RUNNING/DELETING/DELETED). These changes enable efficient, scalable catalog queries, simpler integration for clients, and lifecycle-aware catalog management.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 monthly summary for apache/paimon highlights a focused effort on cache reliability in multi-database environments. Delivered a scoped table invalidation fix that confines invalidation to the relevant database, eliminating cross-database cache clears and improving table caching reliability. The change reduces stale reads and cache churn in deployments with identical table names across databases. This work is tracked through commit 4904d919e9a2ea1f49aaaccd0e265698d1a45cc4 and related to issue (#4895).
