Coalesce has introduced updates to improve metadata integrity across Nodes. Starting in the 7.24 release, null values in Node metadata are automatically removed.

When you commit changes, you may notice updates to Nodes that you haven’t directly modified. This is expected, since null fields are being removed. You should commit these changes and continue with your workflow.

What to Expect

• Git Modal: You may see diffs in the git modal where null values are removed.

No additional action is required. Commit the changes when they appear to keep your project in sync.

Action Required: Upgrade to CLI v7.17.1

We are notifying all Coalesce customers using command-line tools that an immediate upgrade to the Coalesce CLI version 7.17.1 or higher is required. Snowflake's recent 2025_02 release includes changes that may cause service interruptions for users running older versions of the Coalesce CLI.

To prevent any disruption, please check your CLI version by running:

coa --version

If your version is lower than 7.17.1, upgrade your CLI by running:

npm upgrade -g @coalescesoftware/coa

Updates

We’ve made several improvements to the Coalesce user experience:

• Nodes in the Build Interface panel and source Node selector are now alphabetically sorted for easier navigation.

• The Deployment page features interconnected filters—selecting a value in one filter automatically updates options in related filters.

• You can now view Column Lineage while in Column Grid view, enabling quick lineage access when working with large graphs.

• When viewing a selected (blue) Node in Column Lineage, you can edit it directly without having to locate and select it again.

• Selecting a Node in the DAG or Graph View now highlights its counterpart in the sidebar, maintaining view consistency and eliminating redundant selections.

Bug Fixes

• Deployments now succeed when a Node's source changes while its name remains unchanged.

• The Node editor now shows an accurate number of Columns that are in a Node.

Packages

Find the right building blocks for your data pipelines and accelerate initial development by using ready-made Packages from Coalesce Marketplace.

New

Delta Stream Merge Node

• Delta Stream Merge Node uses a Delta Stream and handles DELETE operations alongside INSERT and UPDATE.

View-Qualify Advanced Deploy

• View-Qualify advanced deploy UDN is a versatile Node that lets you develop and deploy a Snowflake View with an added QUALIFY filter.

Updates

• Geospatial datatypes are now supported for Dimension Nodes.

• Data quality tests in views now supported in both the Base Nodes package and Base Nodes Advanced Deploy package.

• We've enhanced the InferSchema functionality in Copy Into and Snowpipe Nodes. CSV processing now needs just one file format, not two. The system creates a temporary file format to infer the schema and removes it when the session ends.

Bug Fixes

• A bug in Dimension Zero Key Node related to handling certain edge cases around null value handling has been fixed.

• Persistent Stages change has been made to fix an error caused when all column are chosen as change tracking for Type-2.

Deprecated node metadata changes were completed with the release of 7.15.
