This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylladb.git master from the last week. Commits in the 1c25aa891b..f3d9d0c1c7 range are covered.
There were 76 non-merge commits from 20 authors in that period. Some notable commits:
The Raft recovery procedure is run when a cluster suffers a majority loss and the quorum needs to be re-established. It is now simplified.
Tests can now be labeled regarding their stability and criticallity.
The system.clients virtual table now lists active Alternator requests in addition to CQL connections.
An internal error in truncate was relaxed into a warning, after it was determined the condition can legitimately happen.
The CQL SELECT statement gained the ability to use a vector secondary index.
There is now a REST API endpoint to drop quarantined sstables and reclaim their storage. Sstables become quarantined when corruption is detected in them.
It is now possible to write into system tables using Alternator rather than just read them.
See you in the next issue of last week in scylladb.git master!
