AI Summary
Significant enhancements to data connectors include new MongoDB and PostgreSQL support, improved array serialization, and async callbacks.
Key Highlights
- New MongoDB connector with snapshot and change stream support
- New PostgreSQL connector reading from WAL
- Enhanced numpy array serialization for Postgres
- Async callback for Python write operations
Breaking Changes
- pw.io.mongodb.write and pw.io.mongodb.read now serialize ndarrays as nested BSON arrays to preserve shape
- Dependencies for pw.io.pyfilesystem.read are no longer included in the default package installation
New Features
- pw.io.mongodb.read connector
- pw.io.postgres.read connector
- pw.io.postgres.write and read support for np.ndarray
- pw.io.airbyte.read dependency_overrides parameter
- pw.io.OnChangeCallbackAsync
Full Release Notes
### Added - `pw.io.mongodb.read` connector, which reads data from a MongoDB collection. The connector first delivers a full snapshot of the collection and then, if the streaming mode is used, subscribes to the change stream to receive incremental updates in real time. - `pw.io.postgres.read` connector, which reads data from a PostgreSQL table directly by parsing the Write-Ahead Log (WAL). - `pw.io.postgres.write` and `pw.io.postgres.read` now support serialization/deserialization of `np.ndarray` (`int`/`float` elements), homogeneous `tuple` and `list` (via Postgres `ARRAY`; multidimensional rectangular arrays supported). - `pw.io.airbyte.read` now accepts a `dependency_overrides` parameter, allowing users to pin specific versions of transitive dependencies (e.g. `airbyte-cdk`) installed into the connector's virtual environment. This unblocks connectors broken by upstream dependency changes without waiting for upstream fixes. ### Changed - **BREAKING**: `pw.io.mongodb.write` and `pw.io.mongodb.read` now serialize and deserialize `np.ndarray` columns as nested BSON arrays that preserve the array's shape. Previously, all ndarrays were flattened to a single BSON array regardless of dimensionality, making it impossible to reconstruct the original shape on read-back. For 1-D arrays the representation is identical to before (`[1, 2, 3]`); only multi-dimensional arrays are affected. - **BREAKING**: The dependencies for `pw.io.pyfilesystem.read` are no longer included in the default package installation. To install them, please use `pip install pathway[pyfilesystem]`. - Asynchronous callback for `pw.io.python.write` is now available as `pw.io.OnChangeCallbackAsync`. - `pw.run` and `pw.run_all` now have the `event_loop` parameter to support reusing async state across multiple graph runs. ### Fixed - `pathway web-dashboard` now waits for the metrics database to be created instead of terminating instantly.
