October 21, 2021

The following release notes correspond to October 12, 2021 - October 21, 2021. In addition to these changes, this release includes back-end updates to workflows, Google integrations, and notebooks to improve upcoming features.

Data Repository

• Combined ingest now handles fileRef array columns.
• Added a new option to the /api/repository/v1/datasets/<id>/ingest endpoint ("csv_add_row_ids") to fill in the datarepo_row_id column when ingesting data using a CSV file. The option is set to true by default, so set the option to false in order to keep the current behavior and specify the datarepo_row_id column in the ingest file.

Interactive Analysis (Notebooks, RStudio, Galaxy)

• Fixed a bug so that the "Compute type" drop-down now defaults to Standard VM.
• The following Spark UIs (a.k.a. Dataproc component gateway web interfaces) can be launched on Terra UI using the compute (a.k.a. runtime) modal:
  • • MapReduce History Server
    • Spark History Server
    • YARN Application Timeline
    • YARN Resource Manager

Platform Foundation

• Fixed a bug when SAM returned a user email with any uppercase characters. This made it difficult to remove users from workspace roles. 

Workspaces

• Fixed a bug that decreased browser performance while waiting for long-running asynchronous data imports.
• When configuring a workflow to run on a Terra Data Repo snapshot, we now hide the "Use defaults" command for workflow outputs, since those defaults do not typically apply to Terra Data Repo snapshots.
• Users without permissions to view Terra Data Repo snapshot data tables inside a workspace previously received an unhelpful error message, stating that, "User does not have bigquery.jobs.create permission”. We now provide more helpful visual indications when these tables are unavailable, as well as a message indicating which permission level is needed to see the data.
• When viewing a data table inside a workspace, the "All (NUM)" command now becomes a "Filtered (NUM)" command if you have a current text filter. This selects all rows that match the filter.
  
  The above image shows an example of the "All (NUM)" command as seen in the selection popup menu, which allows you to select which rows to be downloaded.
