Last week in scylladb.git master (issue #252; 2024-10-20)

This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylladb.git master from the last week. Commits in the 18d3a6480d…29c2d4e7eb range are covered.

There were 84 non-merge commits from 16 authors in that period. Some notable commits:


The system.sstables table names all the sstables attached to a table, when the sstables are non-local (e.g. on object storage). It now uses the table id rather than a path as its partition key.

The CQL server will now wait for the superuser to be created when authentication is enabled.

A deprecation noticed as added to some of the Java-based tools.

The memtable_flush_period_in_ms option is now implemented.

Internode encryption now supports a transitional mode, allowing a cluster to switch to internode encryption without downtime.


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