This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylladb.git master from the last week. Commits in the 93f53f4eb82…0d5f5e6c9da range are covered.
There were 89 non-merge commits from 25 authors in that period. Some notable commits:
A materialized view created using AS SELECT * will show as such in the DESCRIBE statement, instead of expanding to the table columns.
Error handling while streaming mutations was improved.
ScyllaDB will automatically parallelize some aggregation queries, such as SELECT count(*) FROM table. Such parallelized queries are now cancelled if a node is being shut down.
Alternator, ScyllaDB’s implementation of the DynamoDB API, can now add or delete global secondary indices after the table is creates.
See you in the next issue of last week in scylladb.git master!
