Metabase caching works for normal question but not for pivot question

Get Help
1

My Metabase is connected to Snowflake. I have caching enabled at Metabase but it is not working for pivot queries. And after some debugging of the network response, I found that ignore-cached-results? parameter is set to True only for the pivot query. Is there a way to set this to False?

Notice the ignore-cached-results parameter in the two responses below.

Response for normal query:

"cached":true,"database_id":3,"started_at":"2022-02-03T17:13:49.098629Z","json_query":{"constraints":{"max-results":10000,"max-results-bare-rows":2000},"type":"query","middleware":{"js-int-to-string?":true,"ignore-cached-results?":false,"process-viz-settings?":false},"database":3,"query":{"source-table":142},"async?":true,"cache-ttl":29430000},"average_execution_time":5677,"updated_at":"2022-01-31T14:28:02.451881Z","status":"completed","context":"question","row_count":2000,"running_time":546}

response for pivot query:

"json_query":{"type":"query","query":{"source-table":226,"breakout":[["field",4141,null],["field",4146,null],["expression","pivot-grouping"]],"aggregation":[["sum",["field",4034,null]]],"expressions":{"pivot-grouping":["abs",0]}},"database":3,"constraints":{"max-results":10000,"max-results-bare-rows":2000},"middleware":{"js-int-to-string?":true,"ignore-cached-results?":true,"add-default-userland-constraints?":true},"cache-ttl":374400,"async?":true},"average_execution_time":null,"status":"completed","context":"question","row_count":15,"running_time":53}

Hi @divyadass
You should upgrade immediately: https://github.com/metabase/metabase/releases/latest
And migrate away from H2 if you are using Metabase in production:
https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/operations-guide/migrating-from-h2.html

I've created an issue for it:
