This short report brings to light some interesting commits to [scylladb.git master](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/) from the last week. Commits in the c93a7d2664…de798775fd range are covered.

There were 131 non-merge commits from 18 authors in that period. Some notable commits:

  

Tablet replicas can now be [migrated within nodes](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/52fe351c31123156326cac8df6e0b9672117e8c9), from shard to shard, not just from one node to another. This is important when a small table grows and needs to use all vcpus of a node.

DESCRIBE statements will now sort CREATE TYPE statements in [dependency order](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/61505d057e78c6ee173623ce637de28a318585a3), so that if type A is used in type B, CREATE TYPE A will appear before CREATE TYPE B. This is useful for restoring schemas.

ScyllaDB maintains two commitlogs, one for data and one for metadata. The metadata commitlog is now [performance-isolated](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/9820472277961213bb5049fe04b627e6209214e4) from the data commitlog. This maintains responsiveness in a heavily loaded cluster.

The version number was bumped from [5.5 to 6.0](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/c37f2c29840960cf42197c2db58322900e88ab79), indicating the next release will be called 6.0. It was then bumped further to [6.1](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/219daf3489de125ee5ff380ebb8722be9d9769ba), indicating that 6.0 was branched.

  

See you in the next issue of last week in scylladb.git master!
