Databricks on AWS OCF Connector: Version 2.1.10

Fixed Issues

Data Sampling Fails Due to Void Data Type

Bulk data sampling fails when the Databricks on AWS OCF connector encounters a column with void data type.

Now, the connector skips the column with void data type and continues with bulk data sampling and does not error out.

Note

The root cause for this issue is in the Databricks driver that the Databricks on AWS OCF connector uses. Once Databricks on AWS resolves the issue in the driver, you will start viewing the column values in profiling or sampling.
