Last week in scylladb.git master (issue #291; 2025-08-31)

This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylladb.git master from the last week. Commits in the 87dd96f9a2..bc5773f777 range are covered.

There were 82 non-merge commits from 13 authors in that period. Some notable commits:


There is now a centralized view building coordinator running on Raft group 0. It is responsible for coordination builds of new materialized views.

Nodes will now reject user writes when nodes reach 98% storage utilization, while still allowing tablet migrations. This protects the cluster when scale-out was not able to keep up with data ingestion.

The container image entry point learned new --dc and --rack options to set those parameters without bind-mounting the cassandra.rackdb file.

When creating a vector index, CDC will automatically be enabled so that the vector store can stream vector updates from the database.

The build system now uses precompiled headers to speed up compilation.

A crash in commitlog when a mutation spans multiple segments has been fixed.


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