EDB Postgres AI for ClickHouse 26.3.22.7 release notes v26.3

Released: 7 September 2026

EDB Postgres AI for ClickHouse 26.3.22.7 updates the ClickHouse server from 26.3.17.56 and updates the Kubernetes operator, and introduces pg_stat_ch and the MCP server as tracked components.

ClickHouse server

TypeDescription
Upstream mergeUpdated to the open-source ClickHouse 26.3.22.7 LTS release, rolling up upstream bug fixes from 26.3.17 through 26.3.22.

Kubernetes operator

TypeDescription
Upstream mergeUpdated to 0.27.3-1edb1, tracking upstream Altinity clickhouse-operator release-0.27.3.
FeatureAdded a Keeper metrics ServiceMonitor to the Helm chart. Setting serviceMonitor.enabled now creates a ServiceMonitor that scrapes the native ClickHouse Keeper Prometheus endpoints on operator-managed Keeper services. Opt out with serviceMonitor.keeperMetrics.enabled=false.
FeatureThe host-hook execution machinery now uses explicit shell creation and a run-on-host command, and emits a new event when a hook is skipped because the host is unreachable.
Bug fixAdded retries for transient Kubernetes API errors. Get calls in the chi and chk kube drivers now retry with a bounded exponential backoff, up to 5 attempts over roughly 7.5 seconds, instead of aborting the whole rollout on a sub-second control plane blip. Terminal errors, such as NotFound and Conflict, still surface immediately.
Bug fixImproved shard safety so it no longer starves sibling shards. Unhealthy replicas in a shard now reconcile before healthy ones, and a host deferred for shard safety no longer aborts the whole reconciliation pass. The deferral now surfaces as a dedicated Aborted reason instead of getting swallowed.
Bug fixRestored shouldExcludeHost for image changes, so hosts are excluded and drained again when their image changes.
Bug fixFixed the onLostVolume: no reconcile setting, which was previously ignored.
Bug fixFixed informer delete handling. Direct objects and DeletedFinalStateUnknown tombstones now go through one typed delete handler that reports malformed events instead of panicking.
Bug fixRestored reconciliation after operator IP address changes.

pg_stat_ch

TypeDescription
Upstream mergeInitial EDB packaging of pg_stat_ch, EDB's build of the open-source pg_stat_ch Postgres extension, at upstream 0.4.0, packaged as 0.4.0-1edb1. See Monitoring Postgres with pg_stat_ch.

MCP server

TypeDescription
Upstream mergeInitial EDB packaging of edb-clickhouse-mcp, EDB's fork of the open-source ClickHouse MCP server, at upstream v0.4.1, packaged as 0.4.1-1edb1. See Connecting AI agents to ClickHouse.
FeatureThe container image runs as an unprivileged user rather than root, limiting what a compromised container could access on the host.
