Release Date: Aug 2025

Notebook Interpreter Version:
  • Python version 3.9 (The default version is 3.9, but the platform also supports version 3.8.x, 3.11.x, and version 3.12)
  • Spark version 3.5.3 (Support only 3.5.3)
  • Scala version 2.12 (Support only 2.12)

What’s New?

Notebook Workspace and Support full Git UI

The Notebook menu now supports creating multiple workspaces, allowing users to group notes under specific workspaces. Previously, workspaces were not available, and users had to create separate Zeppelin environments to organize their notes instead. In addition, each workspace now supports connections to GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket through the platform, enabling Git-related actions such as Push to Git, Sync Action, and Manage Git Branch.

This enhancement helps utilize a single Zeppelin environment’s resources more efficiently, allows users to group related notes through workspaces, and simplifies access control.

Before version 4.6.9, the Workspace feature was not available in the Notebook, and users could only view individual notes directly. After upgrading to version 4.6.9, all existing notes can be migrated to the Shared Workspace by initializing it via the HERA API. (This is required not only for upgrades but also for new installations of version 4.6.9.)

Create/Drop Table by SQL

Users can now create and drop tables using standard SQL commands (CREATE TABLE, DROP TABLE) directly through the BDE UI — including Data Exploration, SQL Editor, and JDBC.
This expands beyond previous support in Notebook only, this capability now supports Spark internal tables, Delta Tables, and View Tables.

For Delta tables, defining a primary key via SQL is not supported, and a dropped Delta table can be recreated under the same name only when its new column names match those of the previously deleted table.
If you use the DROP TABLE command, the system deletes the table metadata but keeps the Parquet data files in the datastore.

For example

CREATE TABLE tc_check_command (
id INT,
first_name STRING,
last_name STRING,
email STRING,
gender STRING,
ip_address STRING,
create_date DATE
);

DROP TABLE tc_check_command;

Requires Edit permission to Create from Data Catalog Permission,
and Delete or Manage permission to Drop a data asset from Table Permission.

Supports Data Retention Job for delta tables type as time-series

The platform now supports retention jobs for Delta Tables with a time-series structure, extending support beyond internal Spark tables. This enhancement improves data lifecycle management and optimizes storage efficiency in delta table source type.

Add “Refresh Table Connection“ action for external table

Added a new action called ‘“Refresh Table Connection” for external tables to ensure that all records from the data source are up to date and ready for use in subsequent processes.

Added “Import Data Dict” action to Data Dictionary with description field extended from 150 to 255 characters

Added a new action called “Import Data Dict” to the Data dictionary feature under the “Data Catalog” menu, this action supports only CSV files and allows the description field to contain up to 255 characters.
