+Release 0.242
+=============
+
+**Highlights**
+==============
+* Add configuration property ``experimental.spiller.task-spilling-strategy`` for choosing different spilling strategy to use.
+* Add support for fragment result caching.
+* Add support for partition versioning.
+* Add support for caching HiveMetastore calls at a more granular level.
+
+**Details**
+===========
+
+General Changes
+_______________
+* Fix compiler error in ``LambdaBytecodeGenerator`` when common sub-expression optimization is enabled and multiple SQL functions contain lambda expressions.
+* Fix possible permanently stucked queries when memory limit is exceeded during shuffle.
+* Fix a bug where ``IS DISTINCT FROM NULL`` produces wrong results for columns with null values.
+* Add configuration property ``experimental.spiller.task-spilling-strategy`` for choosing different spilling strategy to use.
+* Add session property ``query_max_output_bytes`` and configuration property ``query.max-output-bytes`` to control how much data a query can output.
+* Add support for fragment result caching. This can be enabled by ``fragment-result-cache.enabled`` and ``experimental.fragment-result-caching-enabled``.
+
+Hive Changes
+____________
+* Fix a bug where DWRF encryption would fail for large uncompressed column values.
+* Fix a bug where non-Presto readers could not read encrypted DWRF files written by Presto if the encryption group listed columns out of order.
+* Fix a performance regression for String field handling in GenericHiveRecordCursor when the SerDe does not provide an efficient Writable implementation.
+* Improve split loading efficiency by only using as many threads as are required.
+* Add support for file renaming for Hive connector. This can be enabled with the ``hive.file_renaming_enabled`` configuration property.
+* Add support to query parquet files written by parquet-avro library that uses ``TIMESTAMP_MICROS`` as the ``OriginalType`` to represent timestamp.
+* Add support for partition versioning. This can be enabled with ``hive.partition-versioning-enabled`` configuration property
+* Add support for caching HiveMetastore calls at a more granular level. This can be specified by the ``hive.metastore-cache-scope`` configuration property.
+
+Pinot Changes
+_____________
+* Add configuration property ``pinot.pushdown-topn-broker-queries`` to allow pushing down TOPN queries to Pinot.
+
+Cassandra Change
+________________
+* Add ``SMALLINT``, ``TINYINT``, and ``DATE`` type support.
+
+Verifier Changes
+________________
+* Fix an issue in determinism analysis which would indicate failing due to data being changed while the data is not changed.
+* Improve JSON plan comparison for explain verification. (:pr:`15198`).
+* Add application-name config to override source passed in ClientInfo.
+* Add support to fetch the list of queries to be verified by running a Presto query.
+* Add support to run explain verification. (:pr:`15101`). This can be enabled by configuration property ``explain``.
+
+SPI Changes
+___________
+* Add ``getIdentifier`` to ``ConnectorTableLayoutHandle``. Layout identifier is used in fragment result caching to construct canonical plan.
+* Add ``getSplitIdentifier`` to ``ConnectorSplit``. Split identifier is used in fragment result caching to identify if splits are identical.
+
+Geospatial Changes
+__________________
+* Upgrade Esri to [2.2.4](https://github.com/Esri/geometry-api-java/releases/tag/v2.2.4). This includes two fixes for bug (https://github.com/Esri/geometry-api-java/issues/266 and https://github.com/Esri/geometry-api-java/issues/247) that were seen in production.
