This release requires an upgrade to dbt core 1.7 , which is now the minimum requirement for future minor version updates to MetricFlow.

Notable improvements include:

  • Support for saved queries
  • Fixes for issues where time granularity was not being applied to columns with finer-grained input than what was listed in the config. This may cause performance regressions for users of partitioned datasets in certain engines, which we are committed to resolving.
  • Support for configuring a way to fill null value measure outputs to prevent implicit null filtering.

Complete changelog follows. Please take note of the breaking changes.

MetricFlow 0.203.0 - November 13, 2023

Breaking Changes

  • Use FULL OUTER JOIN to combine input metrics for derived metrics. This is a change from using INNER JOIN and may result in changes in output. (#842)
  • Update Dependencies to Use dbt-semantic-interfaces~=0.4.0 (#846)

Features

  • Enable DATE PART aggregation for time dimensions (#770)
  • Support Saved Queries in MetricFlow (#765)
  • Support for sort order in query interface (#None)
  • Support for the Dimension(...).grain(...) syntax for the where parameter (#None)
  • Support querying dimensions without metrics. (#804)
  • Join to time spine and fill nulls when requested on metric input measures. (#759)
  • Fill nulls for multi-metric queries (#850)

Fixes

  • Removing methods and reordering parameters for Query Interface. (#None)
  • Coerce time granularity to configured value to prevent finer-grained timestamps from causing unexpected query behavior (#714)
  • Prioritize source nodes based on correct cost (#801)
  • Enables case insensitivity for various query params. (#802)
  • Ensure extract calls return consistent results across engines (#792)
  • The --order param was being dropped from CLI saved queries. (#835)
  • Fix query validation for metric_time requirements (#825)
  • Use FULL OUTER JOIN for dimension-only queries. (#863)

Under the Hood

  • A simple update to make the where filter query parameter objects more accurate (#None)
  • Expose underlying where clause error message (#None)
  • Remove query interface and depend on DSI protocol instead (#None)
  • re-categorize TypeErrors that arise from create_from_where_filter into InvalidQueryException (#None)
  • Add the ability to use distinct select in sql nodes (#None)
  • Removed DatePart Enum and change imports to depend on DSI version instead. (#None)

Dependencies

  • Update to dbt-semantic-interfaces~=0.3.0. (#809)
  • Update typing-extensions minimum version to 4.4 (#823)
  • Update dbt dependencies to ~=1.7.0 (#860)
