09/07/2026, 10:54 AMcom.starrocks:starrocks-connector-j) version 1.1.2 was released recently (around July 2026). While consolidated release notes for this specific JDBC driver version are less prominent in the main documentation compared to the Spark/Flink connectors, here is what has changed based on available technical details:
StarRocks Connector/J (JDBC Driver) 1.1.2 Changes
Compared to version 1.1.1, the 1.1.2 release primarily focused on dependency updates and compatibility improvements:
* Dependency Updates:
* Upgraded protobuf-java to version 4.29.0.
* Upgraded oci-java-sdk-common (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure SDK) to 3.54.0.
* Compatibility:
* Improved support for IDE tools like DBeaver (addressing issues with DDL formatting and table/view introspection).
* Continued support for standard JDBC metadata APIs (DatabaseMetaData), allowing for better schema browsing and auto-complete in compatible clients.

Important: Are you looking for the Spark Connector?
There is often confusion between starrocks-connector-j (the JDBC driver) and the StarRocks Connector for Apache Spark (often labeled version 1.1.2 in Maven as starrocks-spark-connector). If you are using Spark, version 1.1.2 included significant functional changes:
* New Features (Spark Connector 1.1.2):
* Spark 3.5 Support: Added official support for Spark v3.5.
* JSON Column Support: Added the ability to read columns of JSON type from StarRocks.
* Filtering: Added support for the starrocks.filter.query parameter when using Spark SQL to read data.
* Improvements (Spark Connector 1.1.2):
* Optimized Error Messages: When a query specifies columns that do not exist, the error message now explicitly lists the missing column names.
* Better Exception Handling: If an exception occurs during the query plan request to the StarRocks FE (via HTTP), the FE now returns detailed exception info through the HTTP status/entity.
Recommendation
If you are using the JDBC Driver for standard application connectivity (like DBeaver or a Java app), you can upgrade to 1.1.2 for the latest dependency security patches. You can find it on Maven Central.
If you need more specific details or are encountering a specific bug, I recommend checking the StarRocks Community Slack or the CelerData/starrocks-connector-j GitHub repository.
