Improved Seekability in Universal Storage Tables
These enhancements will deliver large performance gains for transactional workloads on universal storage tables.

Added support for fast seeking into JSON columns in a universal storage table using subsegment access.
-
Improved seek performance for string data types for universal storage for LZ4 and run-length encoded (RLE) data.
Recursive Common Table Expressions
Recursive common table expressions (CTE) are now supported bySingleStoreDB. Previously, complex operations including temporary tables within a stored procedure would be needed to perform the actions that a simple recursive CTE query can handle.
