Official CH changelog text
Bumped Intel QPL (used by codec DEFLATE_QPL) from v1.2.0 to v1.3.1 . Also fixed a bug in case of BOF (Block On Fault) = 0, changed to handle page faults by falling back to SW path. #57291 (jasperzhu).
Upgraded Intel QPL library used by the DEFLATE_QPL codec from version 1.2.0 to 1.3.1 and fixed a bug related to BOF (Block On Fault) equal to 0 by implementing a fallback to software path on page faults.

Why it matters

This update improves the compression codec DEFLATE_QPL by integrating the latest Intel QPL enhancements and fixes a critical bug where handling page faults with BOF set to 0 could cause failures. The fallback to software path ensures reliability and stability during compression or decompression, providing users with better fault tolerance and performance.

How to use it

Users benefit from this feature automatically when using the DEFLATE_QPL codec, as the underlying QPL library used by ClickHouse has been updated. No additional configuration is needed to enable the improved fault handling and updated compression library.
