v0.80.0

[//]: # "NOTE(morsapaes) v0.80 shipped support for expressions in the LIMIT clause and AWS connections behind a feature flag."

Sources and sinks

• Breaking change. Disallow specifying more starting offsets than the number of partitions for Kafka sources.

• Allow configuring the group ID (GROUP ID PREFIX) for Kafka sources, and the group ID and transactional ID (TRANSACTIONAL ID PREFIX, PROGRESS GROUP ID PREFIX) for Kafka sinks).

SQL

• Add statement_kind to mz_internal.mz_activity_log. This column provides the type of the logged statement, e.g. select for a SELECT query, or NULL if the statement was empty.

• Add mz_internal.mz_notices to the system catalog. This view contains a list of currently active notices emitted by the system, and requires superuser privileges for querying.

Bug fixes and other improvements

• Allow bare references to tables, views, and sources whose name matches the name of a type.
