Last week in scylladb.git master (issue #241; 2024-08-04)

This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylladb.git master from the last week. Commits in the 27b305b9d1…39b49a41cc range are covered.

There were 61 non-merge commits from 10 authors in that period. Some notable commits:


The tablet load balancer now tries to ensure that not only are tablet distributed evenly among nodes and starts, but that tablets for any particular table are evenly distributed. This prevents a hot table that is unevenly distributed from causing hot nodes or hot shards.

When a materialized view’s primary key has the same columns as the base table primary key, we now optimize deletions by deleting an an entire partition when possible.

A race between table drop and a counter column update was fixed.


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