The 2026.5.0 release adds support for AWS-hosted Databricks environments, Databricks data transfer, and KVM deployment for the Oracle connector (Early Access).

New features

  • AWS support for the Databricks connector
    The Databricks connector now supports AWS-hosted Databricks environments with managed tables backed by Amazon S3. This extends the existing support for Azure-hosted Databricks environments with ADLS Gen2-backed managed tables.

    Catalog authentication continues to use OAuth M2M. AWS storage authentication supports IAM instance roles through AWS_ROLE and access keys through AWS_SECRET. For configuration details, see Databricks connector overview, Databricks supported features, Permissions and access requirements, and API reference and examples.

  • Databricks data transfer
    The Databricks connector now supports DATA_TRANSFER jobs, which copy selected Delta data to a target environment without masking it. You can use the same filtering options available for masking jobs, including partition and time-based filters, to move or refresh a subset of tables between environments. For more information, see Databricks supported features.

  • KVM deployment for the Oracle connector (Early Access)
    The Oracle connector now supports deployment on any KVM-based hypervisor whose vendor supports Ubuntu 24.04 as a guest operating system. This is available as an Early Access (EA) feature. For more information, see Supported platforms (virtual appliance), Installation (virtual appliance), and Technical requirements (virtual appliance).

Fixed issues

Issue number Summary
HM-6295 Resolved an issue with column mapping validation and improved support for masking tables that use primary keys in the Snowflake connector.
HM-7224 When you configure the Snowflake connector on a closed-appliance deployment, private keys, passphrases, and personal access tokens (PATs) are now encoded automatically. You no longer need to encode these values manually.
HM-7244 Fixed an issue where a Databricks masking job in the CANCEL_INITIATED state could leave a subsequent job stuck in progress because masking never started.
HM-11283 Resolved an issue that prevented Snowflake connector properties from being updated through the Connector Properties API on closed-appliance deployments. The unload and load service configurations are now separate.
HM-11852 Resolved an intermittent issue in the masking service that could prevent the masking workload from being assigned to masking engines during an execution.
HM-12014 Resolved an issue that rejected Instant Client zip files uploaded from Windows browsers because they used the application/x-zip-compressed file type.
HM-12232 Fixed an issue with cross-process locking for a split file masking job in the File connector load service.

Known issues

Issue number Summary Workaround
HM-5101 Dataset creation does not currently support payloads or file uploads containing more than 10,000 items. Any attempt to upload files exceeding this limit will fail. None
