This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylladb.git master from the last week. Commits in the 33225b730d5..fdcaa9a7e79 range are covered.
There were 76 non-merge commits from 12 authors in that period. Some notable commits:
Tablet metadata can grow very large in large clusters. Its creation already avoided reactor stalls, and now its destruction as well.
The repair small table optimization is used to speed up repairs on tables that are empty or almost empty (like many tables in system_distributed). On large clusters, the optimization could lead to an out-of-memory condition. This is now fixed.
The vector search system implements the client that accesses the external index.
Some stalls when managing schemas with thousands of tables were eliminated.
A new schema application framework was merged, which will allow to improve atomicity when managing cluster metadata.
See you in the next issue of last week in scylladb.git master!
