Summary
dbt-databricks 1.11.7 (and the 1.12.0a1 alpha) still pin
databricks-sql-connector[pyarrow]<4.1.6,>=4.1.1. This blocks adoption of
databricks-sql-connector 4.2.6, which is the first release containing the
fix from databricks/databricks-sql-python#733
that bumps the thrift requirement to >=0.22,<0.23.
The thrift bump is needed in environments where dbt-databricks is installed
alongside other tooling (in our case sqlfluff + sqlfluff-templater-dbt)
that is incompatible with the older thrift<0.21 constraint inherited from
connector 4.1.x. Today our only workaround is a [tool.uv] override-dependencies = ["thrift==0.22.0"] entry in pyproject.toml, which
forces a thrift version that violates connector 4.1.x's declared range.
Request
Widen the databricks-sql-connector upper bound to allow >=4.2.6 (e.g.
<5.0.0) so that:
thrift>=0.22 resolves naturally for downstream consumers- The override hack can be removed
- We pick up other 4.2.x improvements
Context
Happy to send a PR if helpful — wanted to check first whether the cap on
<4.1.6 is intentional (e.g. known incompatibility with 4.2.x APIs) or
simply hasn't been revisited yet.
