 - Fixed bug that was causing streaming tables to be dropped and recreated instead of refreshed. ([552](https://github.com/databricks/dbt-databricks/pull/552))
+- Fixed Hive performance regression by streamlining materialization type acquisition ([557](https://github.com/databricks/dbt-databricks/pull/557))
 - Fix: Python models authentication could be overridden by a `.netrc` file in the user's home directory ([338](https://github.com/databricks/dbt-databricks/pull/338))
