This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylladb.git master from the last week. Commits in the 39b55bd3a0…961a53f716 range are covered.
There were 67 non-merge commits from 15 authors in that period. Some notable commits:
Compaction manager stop operations now ignore errors in the compactions it manages, as those errors can affect the caller of the stop operation (such as the shutdown process).
Some performance bugs leading to extra I/O when reading the primary index for a large partition are fixed.
The bundled Prometheus node_exporter metrics collector now collects fewer metrics by default.
CQL DESCRIBE statements for Change Data Capture (CDC) log tables have been improved.
The meaning of the enable_tablets configuration has changed. Previously, it controlled whether the cluster supported tablets at all. Now, it specifies whether new keyspaces default to tablets enabled or disabled.
The systemd integration now uses KillMode=control-group, as there were reports for systemctl stop not completing.
See you in the next issue of last week in scylladb.git master!
