Spice v0.11.1-alpha (Apr 22, 2024)

The v0.11.1-alpha release introduces retention policies for accelerated datasets, native Windows installation support, and integration of catalog and schema settings for the Databricks Spark connector. Several bugs have also been fixed for improved stability.

Highlights

Retention Policies for Accelerated Datasets: Automatic eviction of data from accelerated time-series datasets when a specified temporal column exceeds the retention period, optimizing resource utilization.
Windows Installation Support: Native Windows installation support, including upgrades.
Databricks Spark Connect Catalog and Schema Settings: Improved translation between DataFusion and Spark, providing better Spark Catalog support.
