1.3.4.2Changes

#3198

Fixed a regression where packages would fail to load if HAPI-FHIR was operating in DATABASE binary storage mode.

#3153

Updated UnknownCodeSystemWarningValidationSupport to allow the throwing of warnings if configured to do so.

#3158

Resource links were previously not being consistently created in cases where references were versioned and pointing to recently auto-created placeholder resources.

Fixed a serious performance issue with the $reindex operation.

#3215

$everything operation returns a 500 error when querying for a page when _getpagesoffset is greater than or equal to 300. This has been corrected.

MDM was throwing a NullPointerException when upgrading a match from POSSIBLE_MATCH to MATCH. This has been corrected.

1.3.5.1Release Information

Released: 2021-11-18

Codename: (Raccoon)

1.3.5.2Changes

#2397

Added mdm support on $everything operation for patients by adding _mdm=true query parameter. Eg: /Patient/123/$everything?_mdm=true.

#2754

Suport for annotation scanning in synthetic types such as weld proxies has been added. Thanks to GitHub user @tarekmamdouh for the pull request!

#2836

FHIR bundle batch is now processed in parallel by default and is configurable by DaoConfig.

#2850

Updated handling of MDM_AFTER_PERSISTED_RESOURCE_CHECKED pointcut to include additional MDM related info.

#2851

Allows to upload not-current version of LOINC ValueSet(s).

#2905

Added displayLanguage support for CodeSystem $lookup operation to filter out designation by language.

#2933

Fixed a regression which causes transactions with multiple identical ifNoneExist clauses to create duplicate data.

#2975

Two improvements have been made to the connection to Elasticsearch. First, null username and password values are now permitted. Second, multiple hosts are now permitted via the setHosts() method on the ElasticHibernatePropertiesBuilder, allowing you to connect to multiple elasticsearch clusters at once. Thanks to Dušan Marković for the contribution!

Add new RuleBuilder options which allow you to specify additional resources and search parameters which match a given compartment. More explanations of the enhancements can be found in the documentation.

#2994

When performing ValueSet expansions and ValueSet-based code validations, the HAPI FHIR terminology service will allow ValueSets to be expanded if they contain an enumeration of codes, even if the corresponding CodeSystem resource can not be found. Response messages have also been improved to give better insight into whether a precalculated expansion was used. In addition, a new operation called $invalidate-expansion has been added that allows for manual invalidation of previously calculated ValueSet expansions.

#2999

Lucene/Elasticsearch indexing has been extended to string, token, and reference parameters. This can be enabled by the new setAdvancedLuceneIndexing() property of DaoConfig.

#3005

Open up the visibility of some methods in the generation of the Open API definition files to allow extenders to add support for OIDC authorization.

#3018

Previously, when a search query explicitly includes a search parameter that is for the same resource type but a different resource instance from the one(s) specified on the authorized list, the search narrowing interceptor would include both search parameters in the final query, resulting in an empty bundle being returned to the caller. Now, such a call will result in a 403 Forbidden error, making it more clear why no resources were returned.

#3020

Added documentation for $partition-management-read-partition. Added $partition-management-list-partitions operation and documentation.

#3022

A new parser that naticaly handles NDJSON format (automatically converting to/from FHIR Bundle resources in order to represent the collection being parsed/serialized) as been added. Thanks to Ben Li-Sauerwine for the contribution!

#3020

Added $mdm-create-link operation and documentation.

#3047

Inline match URL searches (e.g. search URLs for conditional creates, conditional updates, etc.) are now subject to the same security and access control checks as other searches.

#3071

A new parameter, _id has been added to the Patient/$everything type-level operation. This allows you to pass in multiple patients as arguments, e.g. [base]/Patient/$everything?_id=1,2,3. This call would retrieve everything for patients with IDs 1,2, and 3.

#3088

Previously, chained searches were not able to traverse reference fields within contained resources. This enhancement adds the ability to traverse the reference fields of contained resources when those fields refer to discrete resources.

#3089

LOINC copyright notice is now taken from CodeSystem.copyright entry from loinc.xml input file.

#3100

Previously, only contained resources that are referenced directly by the containing resource were being indexed. This enhancement indexes the fields of contained resources that are referenced by other contained resources and uses these new indices in chained searches. Note: in order to make use of this new capability, it must be enabled via a configuration parameter and the repository must be re-indexed.

#3106

Further enhances the features added by issue 3100 to allow chained searches across any combination of discrete and contained references.

#3110

Subscription criteria in the HAPI FHIR JPA server now supports an optional alternate syntax of [*] (all resources of all types) and [resourcename,resourcename,...] (all resources of the given types. Note that no search parameters may be specitied with this syntax.

#3110

Added a functionality to deny unknown extensions.

#3131

Provided a Remote Terminology Service implementation for the $lookup Operation.

#3033

When performing a FHIR transaction using the JPA server where the transaction contains many identical inline match URLs (as is the case with recent versions of Synthea), HAPI FHIR will now avoid repeateed identical lookups while processing the transaction.

#3061

When ingesting Synthea data (or simnilarly structured transaction bundles) into a JPA server, a redundant resource ID lookup has been optimized out. This should particularly speed up larger sized transactions.

#2790

Support for the _language search parameter has been dropped from the JPA server. This search parameter was specified in FHIR DSTU1 but was dropped in later versions. It is rarely used in practice and imposes an indexing cost, so it has now been removed. A custom search parameter may be used in order to achieve the same functionality if needed.

#2843

HAPI-FHIR provides indexing on Canonical Types as references. However, the option to treat absolute references as local was being ignored for those indexed canonicals. This has been corrected. Now, if you have set getTreatBaseUrlsAsLocal() and HAPI-FHIR detects a canonical which starts with such a url, that prefix will be stripped, and indexing will occur normally.

#2904

Change getPathItem method in OpenApiInterceptor from private to protected

The $mdm-clear operation has been changed to use Spring Batch.

During transactions, any resources that were PUT or POSTed with a conditional URL now receive extra validation. There is now a final storage step which ensures that the stored resource actually matches the conditional URL.

#2991

This PR eliminates the search coordinator threadpool, and executes searches synchronously on the HTTP client thread. The idea of using a separate pool was supposed to help improve server scalability, but ultimately created false bottlenecks and reduced the utility of monitoring infrastructure so it has been eliminated.

Prevent _expunge and _cascade from being used on the same DELETE operation

#3017

Removed loinc.xml file from application, which was used as a fallback if not provided when uploading a CodeSystem. it is now required as input for LOINC CodeSystem upload.

#3063

The Saxon-HE library has been removed as a mandatory dependency from the converter library. Thanks to Jing Tang for the contribution!

#2424

This issue involves searching for a resource with a DATE parameter that is specified at only the YEAR level of precision. When searching at a higher level of precision, no results are matched. This issue is fixed now.

#2790

The SearchParameter canonical URLs exported by the JPA server have been adjusted to match the URLs specified in the FHIR specification.

#2793

Previously, when using the Expunge Everything operation, caches could retain old invalid values. This has been corrected. Thanks to Ben Li-Sauerwine for the fix!

#2799

Certain ValueSet validation/expansion operations failed with a 'no transaction' error on Postgresql. This has been corrected. Thanks to @tyfoni-systematic for reporting!

#2837

The :not modifier does not currently work for observations with multiple codes for the search. This is fixed.

#2876

Fixed a bug wherein an NPE could be thrown by the MDM module interceptor if an incoming resource had a tag with no system.

#2883

Open API docs failed to load if a custom context path is set. This has been corrected.

#2902

Fixed a bug wherein includes were not being included on revincludes.

#2920

Previously, validation against bcp47 (urn:ietf:bcp:47) as a language would fail validation if the region was absent. This has been fixed, and the validate operation will now correctly validate simple languages, e.g. nl instead of requiring nl-DE or nl-NL

#2923

$lookup operation cache was based on system and code, it becomes a defect after adding displayLanguage support. Problem is now fixed.

#2935

No resource returned when search with percent sign. Problem is now fixed

#2958

Fixed issue where the processing of queries like Procedure?patient= before a cache search would cause the parameter key to be removed. Additionally, ensured that requests like Procedure?patient= cause HTTP 400 Bad Request instead of HTTP 500 Internal Error.

#2962

Added a new DaoConfig setting called setElasticSearchIndexPrefix(String prefix) which will cause Hibernate search to prefix all of its tables with the provided value.

#2967

Previously, the system would only traverse references to discrete resources while performing a chained search. This fix adds support for traversing references to contained resources as well, with the limitation that the reference to the contained resource must be the last reference in the chain.

#2973

CLI smileutil help {command} returns Unknown command which should return the usage of command. This has been corrected.

Fixed a bug where two identical tags in parallel entries being created in a batch would fail.

#2995

CodeSystem version is copied to ValueSet.compose.include.version on loinc terminology upload to support versioned ValueSet expansion.

#3012

Fixes migration of VARBINARY columns on MS SQLServer.

#3016

A new customized Hibernate dialect is now used for HAPI FHIR JPA on Postgresql Database. This dialect uses the PG oid datatype instead of text for CLOB columns, avoiding CLOBs being seen as abandoned by the Postgresql VACUUMLO tool.

#3031

Fixes a bug that was causing a null pointer exception to be thrown during database migrations that add or drop indexes.

Fixed a bug in processing large batch requests containing many modifying entries. PUT/POST/DELETE operations now occur sequentially, instead of in parallel.

#3046

When using deferred model scanning in highly parallelized environments, a crash could sometimes occur during parse/serialize operations.

#3097

Update documentation for $mdm-match

#3103

Fixes a regression caused by an earlier release, which would cause the $everything operation to throw an SQL error when run under Postgresql.

#3109

$binary-access-write operation returns a DocumentReference with no content. This has been corrected.

#3118

MySQL 5.7 maps BLOB columns to LONGVARBINARY and the migrator did not take this into account. This has been fixed.

#3123

When performing paging queries over large result sets in the JPA server (> 1000 results), SQL could be generated that violated the Oracle RDBMS limit of 1000 parameters. This has been resolved.

#3138

Previously, the package registry would not work correctly when externalized binary storage was enabled. This has been corrected.

#3608

Documentation on offset paging with _offset doesn't mention possible duplicate entries across different pages. The documentation has been updated, and a warning log is added to notify this behaviour as well.

#3116

The BaseResourceModifiedJson class had a redundant field called myId containing the payload ID. This has been removed.

1.3.10HAPI FHIR 5.4.2 (Pangolin)

 

1.3.10.1Release Information

Released: 2021-07-06

Codename: (Pangolin)

1.3.10.2Changes

#2721

Support for LOINC 2.70 has been added.

#2735

The $evaluate-measure now works on a partitioned server.

#2748

A new tag storage mode called Inline Tag Mode tas been added. In this mode, all tags are stored directly in the serialized resource body in the database, instead of using dedicated tables. This has significant performance advantages when storing resources with many distinct tags (i.e. many tags that are unique to each resource, as opposed to being reused across multiple resources).

#2717

FHIR transactions in the JPA server that perform writes will now aggressively pre-fetch as many entities as possible at the very start of transaction processing. This can drastically reduce the number of round-trips, especially as the number of resources in a transaction gets bigger.

#2717

A new setting has been added to the DaoConfig called Tag Versioning Mode. This setting controls whether a single collection of tags/profiles/security labels is maintained across all versions of a single resource, or whether each version of the resource maintains its own independent collection. Previously each version always maintained an independent collection, which is useful sometimes, but is often not useful and can affect performance.

#2697

DELETE _expunge=true has been converted to use Spring Batch. It now simply returns the jobId of the Spring Batch job while the job continues to run in the background. A new operation called $expunge-delete has been added to provide more fine-grained control of the delete expunge operation. This operation accepts an ordered list of URLs to be delete expunged and an optional batch-size parameter that will be used to perform the delete expunge. If no batch size is specified in the operation, then the value of DaoConfig.getExpungeBatchSize() is used.

#2732

The ConceptMap.group.element.display storage size limit has been increased to 500 characters.

#2760

If two authorization compartments apply to the same targets and share the same compartment name, then instead of creating a new compartment, the rule builder now adds the new owner to the list of owners in the existing compartment.

#2773

Flyway migration used to enforce order by default. This has been changed so now the default behaviour is out of order migrations are permitted. Strict order can be enforced via the new strict-order flag if required.

#2624

ValueSet expansion did not correctly preserve the order if multiple codes were included in a single inclusion block.

#2739

Too many MDM candidates matching could result in an OutOfMemoryError. Candidate matching is now limited to the value of IMdmSettings.getCandidateSearchLimit(), default 10000.

#2741

A regression caused the JPA Server History operation to not return paging links in responses. This has been corrected.

#2747

Added null checks to MDM resource interceptor in order to avoid NPEs.

#2748

The SQL generated for the _profile search parameter did not use all of the columns on the tag index table, resulting on poor performance on MySQL. This has been corrected.

#2762

A regression was introduced in 2760 where a READ compartment could get collapsed into a WRITE compartment. This has been corrected.

#2764

Searches for mdm-expanded references such as Observation?subject:mdm=123 were getting denied by access rules that did not recognize the :mdm suffix. This has been corrected.

1.3.11HAPI FHIR 5.4.1 (Pangolin)

 

1.3.11.1Release Information

Released: 2021-06-15

Codename: (Pangolin)

1.3.11.2Changes

#2509

Pagination returned incorrect offset and count in the previous link of the last page when total element count was one more than multiple of page size. Problem is now fixed

#2652

Settings have been added to the JPA Server DaoConfig to enable/disable various individual kinds of scheduled tasks.

#2653

When performing a conditional create operation on a JPA server, the system will now verify that the conditional URL actually matches the data supplied in the resource body, and aborts the conditional create if it does not.

#2672

Support has been added to the JPA server for _include and _revinclude where the value is a qualified star, e.g. _include=Observation:*.

#2675

A new interceptor ValidationMessageSuppressingInterceptor has been added. This interceptor can be used to selectively suppress specific vaLidation messages.

#2676

When performing non-query cache JPA searches (i.e. searches with Cache-Control: no-store) the loading of _include and _revinclude will now factor the maximum include count.

#2676

A new setting has been added to the DaoConfig that allows the maximum number of _include and _revinclude resources to be added to a single search page result. In addition, the include/revinclue processor have been redesigned to avoid accidentally overloading the server if an include/revinclude would return unexpected massive amounts of data.

#2676

A new config option has been added to the DaoConfig that causes generated SQL statements to account for potential null values in HAPI FHIR JPA date index rows. Nulls are no longer ever used in this table after HAPI FHIR 5.3.0, but legacy data may still have nulls.

#2681

A new DaoConfig setting called Mass Ingestion Mode has been added. This mode enables rapid data ingestion by skipping a number of unnecessary checks during backloading.

#2692

A new Pointcut has been added that is invoked when a new Bulk Export is initiated.

#2702

The JPA server terminology uploader now supports uploading ICD-10-CM (US Edition) using the native format for that vocabulary.

#2712

AuthorizationInterceptor can now be used to authorize bulk export requests

#2688

FHIR Transaction duplicate record checks are now performed without any database interactions or SQL statements, reducing the processing load associated with FHIR transactions by at least a small amount.

#2688

Conditional URL lookups in the JPA server will now explicitly specify a maximum fetch size of 2, avoiding fetching more data that won't be used inadvertently in some situations.

#2653

When performing a conditional create/update/delete on a JPA server, if the match URL contained a plus character, this character was interpreted as a space (per legacy URL encoding rules) even though this has proven to not be the intended behaviour in real life applications. Plus characters will now be treated literally as a plus character in these URLs.

#2695

Bulk import batch jobs are now activated in a local scheduled task, making bulk import jobs better able to take advantage of large clusters.

#2665

When performing a FHIR transaction containing a conditional create, references to that resource were inadvertently replaced with contained references."

#2672

A concurrency error was fixed when using client assigned IDs on a highly concurrent server with resource deletion disabled.

#2674

A null-pointer exception was fixed when a ResponseTerminologyDisplayInterceptor is registered and a search or read response returns a resource with code value that in turn returns a null code lookup.

#2676

Subscription notifications will no longer be triggered by default in response to changes that do not increment the resource version (e.g. $meta-add and $meta-delete). A new DaoConfig setting has been added to make this configurable.

#2674

When myDaoConfig.setDefaultTotalMode(SearchTotalModeEnum.ACCURATE) and there are zero search results on an _id search, An Index Out of Bounds error was thrown. This has been corrected.

#2682

Fixes the problem that FHIR package IDs were incorrectly treated as case sensitive when being loaded, causing loads to fail when dependencies were declared with a different case than in the package itself.

#2693

Constraint errors were not always auto-retried even when configured to do so on certain platforms (particularly Postgresql) where constraint names are auto converted to lower case. Thanks to Bruno Hedman for the pull request!

#2705

When searching by source, if deleted resources are matched, the search returned an incorrect size. This has been corrected.

#2695

The _filter search parameter was incorrectly included in the server capability statement if it was disabled on the server. This has been corrected.

#2417

Support for the FHIR _list search parameter.

#2332

Terminology storage is now skipped for placeholder ValueSet and ConceptMap resources.

#2384

When a REST server returns a failure because no method matched the request parameters, the resulting OperationOutcome will now correctly set the issue type to not-supported. Thanks to Jari Maijenburg for the pull request!

#2401

Group Bulk exports are now supported. You can export all data for a Group of Patients via the /Group/[id]/$export endpoint for any resource type which contains a patient compartment. The _typeFilter and _since criteria are currently not supported at this level, but may eventually be

#2403

Optionally support '_contained' resource search by enabling the indexing on the contained resources in the ModelConfig.

#2407

When using the JPA server in partitioned mode with a partition interceptor, the interceptor is now called even for resource types that can not be placed in a non-default partition (e.g. SearchParameter, CodeSystem, etc.). The interceptor may return null or default in this case, but can include a non-null partition date if needed.

#2409

In MDM matching rules, support has been added for using FHIRPath expressions instead of Resource Path expressions via the fhirPath field in a field matcher

#2433

Support has been added for MDM expansion during Group bulk export. Calling a group export via /Group/123/$export?_mdm=true will cause Bulk Export to not only match group members, but also any MDM-matched patients, and their related golden record patients

#2441

Support has been added to the JPA server for indexing and searching using the _contained parameter, which allows searching using chained parameters that chain into contained resources. This feature is disabled by default but can be enabled via a setting on the ModelConfig object.

#2445

Support has been added for patient level Bulk export. This can be done via the /Patient/$export endpoint. Also, support has been added for setting Cache-Control header to no-cache for Bulk Export requests.

#2446

Auto-created placeholder reference targets now have an extension with the URL http://hapifhir.io/fhir/StructureDefinition/resource-placeholder and a value of true.

#2449

Adds interceptors for the following functionality:

  • Data normalization (n11n) - removing unwanted characters (control, etc. as defined by the requirements)
  • Data standardization (s13n) - normalizing data by ensuring word spacing and character cases are uniform
  • Data validation - making sure that addresses / emails are validated

#2478

Added matching based on extension, when given the path to a fhir resource the matcher will take the extensions and match if the url and string value are the same

#2488

Two new server interceptors have been added that can be used to map codes and populate code display names respectively using the server terminology services.

#2499

When using the _mdm parameter during Group Bulk Export, resources written out will now contain an extension with the url https://hapifhir.org/associated-patient-golden-resource/ identifying which golden resource the target resource belongs to.

#2506

The server generated CapabilityStatment will now include supported Profile declarations for FHIR R4+.

#2506

A new server interceptor has been added that allows servers to implement lenient search mode, where unknown search parameters are ignored if an optional HTTP Prefer header is provided.

#2520

Add support for :mdm search parameter qualifier on reference search parameters. Details about enabling this feature can be found in the documentation.

#2521

The server generated CapabilityStatement now reflects whether RDF/Turtle is supported by the server. In addition, the ResponseHighlightingInterceptor will now provide some TTL support.

#2521

The automatically generated CapabilityStatement for R4+ will now incude the list of supported revinclude values.

#2523

A new Validation Support Module has been added called UnknownCodeSystemWarningValidationSupport. This module allows validation to produce a warning but not an error if a code being validated references an unknown code system.

#2525

A new optional parameter has been added to the ValueSet/$expand operation. When provided a value of true, the operation will include the concept hierarchy in the expansion response.

#2534

Add new pointcut STORAGE_TRANSACTION_PROCESSED, which fires after all operations in a transaction have executed.

#2537

It is now possible t create narrative generator templates that apply to any custom strucures including custom extension structures.

#2547

Added new NUMERIC mdm matcher for matching phone numbers. Also added NUMERIC phonetic encoder to support adding NUMERIC encoded search parameter (e.g. if searching for matching phone numbers is required by mdm candidate searching).

#2560

A new interceptor called OpenApiInterceptor has been added. This interceptor can be registered against FHIR Servers to automatically add support for OpenAPI / Swagger.

#2576

A new header called X-Upsert-Extistence-Check can now be added to JPA server Create with Client-Assigned ID operations (aka Upsert) in order to improve performance when loading data that is known to not exist by skipping the resource existence check.

#2579

When using the JPA server in offset mode, the count+offset information is now passed to the SQL query, resulting in better performance. Thanks to Tuomo Ala-Vannesluoma for the pull request!

#2585

When automatically creating a placeholder reference that is set to auto-populate identifiers, logic has been improved. If the reference does not contain an identifier, but the inline match URL does, the identifier found in the match URL will be added to the target. If both are populated, they will both be added to the target.

#2590

When resources are created using package load, the new resources will use the same IDs as were provided in with the resource definitions in the package, if they exist. If the ids are numeric, a prefix of 'npm-' will be added.

#2644

Support for validating BCP-47 (language) codes against the FHIR Languages and All-Languages ValueSets has been improved.

#2659

The MSSQL-specific index definition for the ForcedId table in the JPA server has been enhanced to include an INCLUDE() clause, which should significantly improve performance.

#2662

It is now possible to declare database migrations as being mandatory even when running in schema initialization mode.

#2457

A regression in HAPI FHIR 5.3.0 resulted in concurrent searches being executed in a sequential (and not parallel) fashion in some circumstances.

#2462

The HAPI FHIR parser will now preserve the order of contained resources across round-trip parse/serialize passes.

#2462

Several optimizations have been made to the JPA server transaction processor that should result in improved performance, particularly when processing large transaction Bundles, such as transactions containing many entries, or transactions containing very large entries.

#2576

A new PID-to-forced-ID cache, and a new optional Match-URL-to-PID cache have been added. These can improve write performance when doing large loads.

#2576

The generated search SQL statements have been optimized for simple JPA server searches containing only one parameter. In this case, an unnecessary JOIN has been removed.

#2446

DaoConfig setting for Populate Identifier In Auto Created Placeholder Reference Targets now defaults to true.

#2513

PointCutLatch now works with IPointcut instead of Pointcut.

#2634

Custom Search Parameters may now have FHIRPath expressions up to 500 characters long, up from 200.

#2648

The ConsentInterceptor no longer fully runs on calls to /metadata or during the $meta operation.

#2655

#1644

An SQL syntax error was corrected when using the JPA server terminology services to pre-expand valuesets when using Oracle Database.

#1731

When storing resources in the JPA server, extensions in Resource.meta were not preserved, nor were any contents in Bundle.entry.resource.meta. Both of these things are now correctly persisted and returned. Thanks to Sean McIlvenna for reporting!

#1953

A crash was fixed when performing a FHIR read on a partitioned server, where the requested ID is not known. Thanks to Umberto Cappellini for reporting!

#2404

Supplementary characters in the parameters might cause errors when calculating hash values

#2417

A NullPointerException was corrected when indexing resources containing an indexed Period field that had a start but not an end defined.

#2426

When using the Generic Client, search invocations where the parameters are supplied using .where(Map) did not include search modifiers such as :exact in the search URL. Thanks to GitHub user @granadacoder for reporting this issue!

#2458

HasParam#doGetQueryParameterQualifier() returned a malformed modifier. For example, the modifier for _has:Observation:patient:code=123 was returned as Observation:code:123 when it should be :Observation:patient:code. This has been corrected.

#2462

References from a contained resource to the containing resource are now possible in the JPA server.

#2466

When performainfg a search using a date search parameter, invalid values (e.g. date=foo) resulted in a confusing error message. This has been improved.

#2468

Running a manual reindex of data failed on a partitioned server with an interceptor error. This has been corrected. Thanks to Ajay Shekar for reporting!

#2471

An NPE was fixed when performing highly concurrent system requests while using the ResourceVersionConflictResolutionStrategy interceptor.

#2479

the create-package command of the HAPI FHIR CLI was not correctly adding the fhirVersions section to the generated package.json. This has been fixed

#2493

A database deadlock in Postgresql was observed when uploading large terminology CodeSystems using deferred uploading. Thanks to Tyge Folke Nielsen for reporting and suggesting a fix!

#2505

An incorrect path caused the select2 library to fail to load in the HAPI FHIR testpage overlay modue. Thanks to Ari Ruotsalainen for reporting!

#2515

Fixed issues with application of survivorship rules when matching golden record to a single resource

#2526

Added Operation section to Conformance Statement.

#2528

An issue with compartment definitions in R5 models was fixed. This issue caused some authorization rules to reject valid requests. Thanks to Patrick Palacin for reporting!

#2533

When issuing a request for a specific Resource and also specifying an _include param, the referenced resource is not returned when there is only 1 version of the referenced resource available. When there are more than 1 versions available, the referenced resource is returned in the response bundle.

#2535

An issue with package installer involving logical StructureDefinition resources was fixed. Package registry will no longer attempt to generate a snapshot for logical StructureDefinition resources if one is not already provided in the resource definition.

#2543

When issuing a request for a specific Resource and also specifying an _include param, the proper historical referenced resource is not returned when there are more than 1 versions of the referenced resource available, after the reference has been changed from the original version 1 to some other version. When there are more than 1 versions available, and the referring resource had previously referred to version 1 but now refers to version 4, the resource returned in the response bundle is for version 1.

#2556

Fixed a bug which would cause Bulk Export to fail when run in a partitioned environment.

#2571

Added support for deleting resources to BundleBuilder via method addTransactionDeleteEntry.

#2577

When running the $apply-codesystem-delta-add operation, code properties were not correctly saved. Thanks to Hanan Awwad for the pull request!

#2620

In the JPA server, if a tag was defined with the exact same system and code as a security label on a different resource, the tag would be incorrectly filed as a security label (and vice versa). This has been corrected.

#2620

When creating resources in a JPA server under highly concurrent conditions, creating a new tag across multiple threads could result in a race condition leaving an invalid entry in the tag cache. This resulted in new instances of this tag being unavailable for creation.

#2623

When performing a search via GraphQL, token search parameters were not properly parsed. Thanks to Jari Maijenburg for the pull request!

#2632

Certain calls to the $evaluate-measure operation could result in a NullPointerException. This is now corrected.

#2641

A vulnerability in the FHIR History operation was resolved. When running HAPI FHIR JPA server on a large database (i.e. containing a large number of resources), if a malicious user performs a large number of concurrent FHIR History (_history) operations, an expensive COUNT() statement can consume all available database resources and ultimately trigger resource exhaustion and disable the server. A huge thanks to Zachary Minneker at Security Innovation who discovered and submitted a responsible disclosure of this issue.

#2643

When using Auto-Version references in the JPA server, if an auto-versioned reference within a FHIR transaction pointed to a resource that did not actually change during the transaction (e.g. an update/PUT where the resource body was unchanged from the existing version), the reference would point to an incremented version number even though none existed. This has been corrected.

#2647

The new Match URL cache suffered from potential cache poisoning if multiple threads performed a condiitonal create operation at the same time.

#2654

The id of ValueSet resources in ValueSet expansions was null. This has been corrected. The id of the expanded value set is now the same as the id of the value set that was expanded.

#2661

Fixed a bug where delete with expunge would throw a LazyInitializationException if there were delete conflicts, and the expunge batch size was smaller than the available list of resources to delete.

#2194

The Testpage Overlay now suppresses authorization headers from the output headers. Thanks to Tuomo Ala-Vannesluoma for the pull request!

#2177

Redesigning the Enterprise Master Patient Index solution to a Master Data Management solution. The new MDM solution supports other FHIR resources where EMPI only allowed Person resource to be used. For example, if MDM is occurring on a patient, we will create a new Patient, and tag that patient as a Golden Record. This means that several things have changed:

  • Provider methods that pointed to type of Person are now server-level operations in which you specify a resource type.
  • Link updating and querying no longer rely on Person IDs, but instead on arbitrary resource ids, depending on the resource type you are referring to in MDM.
  • Change to the EMPI config to require a list of mdmTypes.

Code-level changes include the following changes:
  • hapi-fhir-server-empi and hapi-fhir-jpaserver-empi Maven projects were renamed to hapi-fhir-server-mdm and hapi-fhir-jpaserver-mdm
  • All classes were refactored to use correct terms, e.g. Golden Resource in place of Person
  • Message channel was renamed from empi to mdm
  • Subscriptions were renamed to mdm-RESOURCE_TYPE, where RESOURCE_TYPE is an MDM type configured in mdmTypes section of the configuration file
  • Configuration file was renamed from empi-rules.json to mdm-rules.json
  • Log file was changed from empi-troubleshooting.log to mdm-troubleshooting.log

#2182

When a unique index SearchParameter violation is blocked, the error message will now include the ID of the relevant SearchParameter, in order to make troubleshooting easier.

#2191

Added a new IResourceChangeListenerRegistry service and modified SearchParamRegistry and SubscriptionRegistry to use it. This service contains an in-memory list of all registered {@link IResourceChangeListener} instances along with their caches and other details needed to maintain those caches. Register an {@link IResourceChangeListener} instance with this service to be notified when resources you care about are changed. This service quickly notifies listeners of changes that happened on the local process and also eventually notifies listeners of changes that were made by remote processes.

#2198

It is now possible for read operations (read/history/search/etc) in a partitioned server to read across more than one partition if the partitioning interceptor indicates multiple partitions.

#2213

Non release (i.e. SNAPSHOT) builds of HAPI FHIR will now include the Git revision hash as well as the build date in the version string that is logged on initialization, and included in the default server X-Powered-By string. Release builds are not affected by this change.

#2221

The error message returned by the transaction processor has been improved for the case where a transaction uses an unsupported/disabled resource types.

#2234

When performing a conditional create/update containing the email search parameter, any + characters will now be interpreted as actually being a plus symbol instead of being unescaped into a space character. This is technically a deviation from how URLs should be parsed, but allows for a sensible behaviour in a spot where no spaces are allowed.

#2237

It is now possible to use a parameter of type IBaseResource or IBaseBundle as the parameter on a @Transaction method in a plain server.

#2261

Optionally supports storage and search in canonical form of the quantity value which is defined by 'http://unitsofmeasure.org'; please check ModelConfig for the configuration. No changes were made to the existing behaviour.

#2264

The interceptor framework will now recognize and invoke @Hook methods that have an access level of public, protected, or default. Previously only public methods were recognized.

#2264

A new interceptor called the Repository Validating Interceptor has been added. This new interceptor allows a HAPI FHIR JPA Server to declare rules about mandatory profiles that all resources stored to the server must declare conformance and/or correctly validate against.

#2282

When performing a ValueSet expansion where the valueset to be expanded includes a display name for concepts it is explicitly including, this display name will be propagated to the expansion if no other display is available. Thanks to Hanan Awwad for the contribution!

#2310

A new utility called FHIRPathResourceGeneratorR4 has been added. This class can be used to build and populate a resource model object using FHIRPath expressions. Thanks to Marcel P for the contribution!

#2323

The JPA server has a new setting on the ModelConfig bean called "AutoVersionReferencesAtPaths". Using this setting, the server can be configured to add the current target resource version ID to any resource references found in a resource being stored. In addition, a new setting has been added to the JPA ModelConfig bean that allows _include statements to respect versioned references, and actually include the correct version for the reference.

Added support for the $evaluate-measure Operation as part of adding CQL support.

#2302

The JPA server generated SQL for date search parameters has been streamlined to avoid the use of redundant OR expressions that slow down performance in some cases.

#2190

Updates to Hibernate Search require a full reindexing of all indexed fulltext data, which is held in Lucene or Elasticsearch. Users using elasticsearch for fulltext indexing must upgrade to Elasticsearch 7.10.0.

#2197

The resource IDs for several LOINC resources were corrected. Thanks to Steven Wagers for the pull request!

#2264

The experimental TransactionBuilder helper class has been renamed to BundleBuilder as it now has utility methods for working with other types of Bundles too.

#2290

In the JPA server. the SQL datatype used to index quantities has been changed from NUMBER(19,2) to double precision (or equivalents depending on platform). This improves the query support for ssearching on very small quantities.

#2340

The @ResourceDef annotation has been marked as inheritable, so it does not need to be explicitly added to custom structures that extend built-in structures. Thanks to Marcelo Avancini for the pull request!

#2372

ElasticsearchHibernatePropertiesBuilder will now reject any REST url which is protocol-aware. Protocol information should be set in the protocol field of the builder.

#2175

Expanding a ValueSet using a filter now evaluates the display with left-matching by string token, case-insensitive.

#2180

Loading a package without a description was causing a null pointer exception. This has been fixed.

#2183

The CodeSystem/$subsumes operation inadvertantly reversed the meanings of the CodeA and CodeB parameters, resulting in subsumes and subsumed-by responses being reversed. This has been corrected. Thanks to Rob Hausam for reporting!

#2192

ApacheRestfulClientFactory now uses system properties for proxy configuration. Thanks to Vladimir Nemergut for the pull request!

#2195

When performing a ValueSet expansion with a filter a large pre-expanded ValueSet (more than 1000 codes), the filter failed to find concepts appearing after the first thousand. This has been corrected.

#2205

The new JPA SearchBuilder failed to perform FHIR Searches on Oracle DB with an invalid SQL error. This has been corrected.

#2208

When performing a JPA server search on a partitioned server, searches with only the _id parameter and no other parameters did not include the partition selector in the generated SQL, resulting in leakage across partitions. Thanks to GitHub user @jtheory for reporting!

#2211

The recent EMPI project accidentally caused a split package in ca.uhn.fhir.rest.server. This has been corrected. Thanks to Bill Denton for the pull request!

#2214

When using the validator from within the JPA server, validating CapabilityStatement resources failed with an error when trying to load linked SearchParameter resources. This has been corrected.

#2215

When using a partitioned JPA server, auto-create placeholder targets did not work if the partition interceptor was registered against the server (e.g. for a multitenancy configuration). This has been corrected. Thanks to Rob Whelan for reporting!

#2262

Sorting of search results was not working for MySQL, MSSQL and MariaDB due to recent changes made to handle sorting of nullable columns. This has now been fixed.

#2265

The new optimized SQL Generator introduced in HAPI FHIR 5.2.0 did not correctly bind variables for SQL Server queries, making the search functionality unusable. This has been corrected.

#2269

A database index in the JPA server was added in HAPI FHIR 5.2.0 and Smile CDR 2020.11 that exceeded the maximum index length in MySQL, preventing server upgrades on that database platform. This has been corrected.

#2271

Attempts to load IG packs when partitioning was enabled, resulted in nullpointer exceptions. This has now been fixed and IG packs and conformance resources will be loaded to the DEFAULT partition.

#2273

An incorrect HTML resource path led to a utility JavaScript library failing to load in the TestPage Overlay module. Thanks to Alejandro Medina for the pull request!

#2297

When performing a FHIR create using the HAPI FHIR client, if the payload is a Bundle resource the individual resources in the Bundle had their IDs removed by the client during payload serialization. This has been corrected.

#2298

A recent change inadvertently caused an issue with DB migration utility such that it would attempt to drop indexes even when the dry-run option was specified. This has been fixed.

#2299

The BulkExportDaoSvc bean was forgotten from the BaseConfig context. It has been added.

#2309

In the JPA server, HumanName.name.text was not being indexed and therefore was not searchable. This has been corrected.

#2327

The $expand filter parameter was not matching the ValueSet display value in all cases. E.g. a ValueSet with name 'abc def ghi' would match 'abc def' and 'def' but not 'def ghi'. This has been corrected so the ValueSet will match the filter if any substring of the ValueSet display value matches the $expand filter.

#2361

Unrecognized search param prefix strings were silently discarded. This is now an error.

#2365

A bug in the InMemoryResourceMatcher caused AND clauses to be treated as OR clauses. Thanks to Jari Maijenburg for the report and pull request!

#2369

When using the Consent Interceptor, the startOperation method was not invoked for search paging requests. This has been corrected. Thanks to Tue Toft Nørgård for reporting!

#2361

As of version 2.69, the LOINC Top2000CommonLabResultsSi.csv and Top2000CommonLabResultsUs.csv became optional. The Terminology Loader Service has been updated to reflect this change.

#2220

An important security issue with the JPA Server was solved. This issue applies only to JPA servers running in partitioned mode. When performing searches on a partitioned server, search results from previously cached searches against different partitions may be returned, potentially leaking data across partitions. This issue has been resolved.

#2229

Remove support for the upload-igpack command. This command is no longer supported, as the IGPack format has been withdrawn and replaced with the FHIR NPM Package specification, which is also supported by HAPI FHIR
