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 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](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/63725b10a8dd57d0405200822d1cc23df574870e) for the superuser to be created when authentication is enabled.

A [deprecation noticed](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/f799234c821074ce3598e5aa3af4f9eaa6c19e4c) as added to some of the Java-based tools.

The memtable\_flush\_period\_in\_ms option is now [implemented](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/b965729f0a9784f43e673d50c4db0c20ca0c2b48).

Internode encryption now supports a [transitional mode](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/280cd23c130f670544378baf00a347a38c67ced2), allowing a cluster to switch to internode encryption without downtime.

  

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