Community Weekly Report
Oct 12 – Oct 18, 2026
00Overview
This week, Apache Doris is moving toward more timely ingestion, more focused scans, and lakehouse interoperability that preserves high-precision timestamps, with kernel and engineering work remaining the community’s largest focus. Compatibility with modern clients and explicit external authentication bindings are also advancing, improving connectivity and clarity in account management. With 43 contributors driving 176 merged PRs and 20 new issues opened, community activity reflects a strong engineering focus alongside continued expansion of real-time warehouse and lakehouse capabilities.
01Highlights
02By Scenario
Multi-modal Lakehouse
01Lakehouse work prioritized external-file COUNT scheduling to reduce repeated-query backend hotspots. Partition-aware Iceberg write routing and overwrite-mode controls improve write handling, while native table-property updates, GZIP writes, Oracle type mappings, and optional filename padding broaden interoperability across ingestion, management, and export.
- [improvement](fe) Optimize external file COUNT scan scheduling
- [opt](jdbc) Support Oracle BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE types
- [feature](outfile) add opt-in file_name_padding
- [fix](iceberg) Support GZIP for iceberg/hive Parquet writers.
Lakehouse work prioritizes partition-metadata execution so Hive/Hudi latest-partition queries can avoid opening files, alongside HMS pruning to reduce planning overhead. Native Azure access and 3D geometry compatibility broaden interoperability. Newly opened ANN work proposes moving index construction from ingestion to background compaction.
- [improvement](hive) Support partition-column-value-only pushdown for Hive/Hudi scan
