Grant Admin privileges to a user

Existing admin users can now directly grant admin privileges to other users through the Admin console, rather than having to make a request to Tecton support. See the Admin console documentation for more detail.

Directly run Tecton plan hooks

Plan hooks provide a mechanism for running unit tests during tecton plan or apply. You can now directly run the plan hooks with the new tecton test command, rather than having to run the entire tecton plan.

tecton plan status updates and performance optimizations

Running tecton plan can take a few minutes, especially when creating a new workspace. The command line interface will now print out status updates as it progresses through the validation steps. We have additionally added a few performance optimizations to shorten the validation time for large feature repositories.

Feature Table ingestion improvements

Running FeatureTable.ingest() will now create a new Spark job cluster to process the data input. This change adds several product improvements:

• Automatic retries in case of ephemeral errors.
• Ability to ingest larger datasets.
• Ability to specify a DatabricksClusterConfig or EMRClusterConfig in case more resources are necessary to complete the ingestion.
• View ingestion status and history in the Materialization tab.
