Howdy data wranglers! New versions of Zed, Zui, and Brimcap just went up. Let’s get into the highlights.
Version Synchronization
Until today, Zed, Zui, and Brimcap each had their own independent version numbers. This made sense for a time, but since we’ve been consistently releasing all three at once and since Zed is a dependency of both Zui and Brimcap, we’ve decided to synchronize their version numbers. All our software now matches Zed’s version at v1.17. This will make it easier to talk about releases in documentation and posts, and it is now very clear which versions are compatible with each other.
Zui Updates
On the Zui front, this release rearranged some panes in the right sidebar. The correlations that used to live under the detail tab have been moved to their own tab. This made way for the detail view to be upgraded. It now displays an “inspector” view of the selected value, similar to the “inspector” view in the main results area.
We’ve also added Parquet as an export format for your results, and you can configure your local lake to accept connections from anywhere or from only the local host.
Zed Updates
In this release Zed gained significant performance wins for multi-pool searches like this one:
from * | "MyFilter" // query go brrrr
The query described in the issue went from 11 minutes down to 15 seconds.
We’ve also reduced the amount of memory consumed by the merge operator.
Enjoy!
