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 afee3924b3…4823a1e203 range are covered.

There were 95 non-merge commits from 14 authors in that period. Some notable commits:

  

Alternator, ScyllaDB’s implementation of the DynamoDB API, now supports Role-Based Access Control ([RBAC](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/6835f7e9934b9acceaee35d502a630f96efa25f5)). Control is done via CQL.

Alternator, ScyllaDB’s implementation of the DynamoDB API, now has [metrics](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/390e01673be1f365e42f826490ed95aeede1a259) for batch latency and size.

A race condition between tablet repair and tablet split (the latter happens when a table grows) has been [fixed](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/c1de4859d815b3eb4aebef7b7e1c7998c6860f76).

Raft uses log truncation to limit memory consumption. A mismatch between in-memory log truncation and on-disk log truncation was [fixed](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/5c9efdff50e66bbf9ca2f6fe00d1bd4ee36be355).

When communicating with older versions of ScyllaDB, the server uses a schema digest to see whether there is a schema mismatch or not. This is now [less likely to stall](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/a3a97e8aad57bb82f9f2351cc033491ebf995a51) when processing large schemas.

  

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