This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylladb.git master from the last two weeks. Commits in the 2d716f3ffe..a9a53d9178 range are covered.
There were 105 non-merge commits from 22 authors in that period. Some notable commits:
HTTP TLS support now shares credentials
across connections, reducing expensive TLS handshakes.
The nodetool refresh command gained a –skip-reshape
switch. Reshaping can be an expensive operation and one may want to defer it.
The S3 driver support is now better at avoiding resource exhaustion due to too many open connections.
C++ unit test execution now runs under pytest.
There is now a framework for testing upgrades in the main repository. Previously, upgrades were tested in external tests. The first use is to test sstable dictionary compression during upgrades.
See you in the next issue of last week in scylladb.git master!
