This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylladb.git master from the last week. Commits in the 20aeed1607..8cd9f5d271 range are covered.
There were 88 non-merge commits from 17 authors in that period. Some notable commits:
The replication factor can now be specified as a list of racks, rather than a number. This allows a keyspace to be migrated off a particular rack before it is decommissioned.
Creating materialized views in tablet keyspaces now requires that the replication factor match the number of racks.
The BYPASS CACHE query option now bypasses the cache for index reads using Trie indexes.
The setup tool now checks if 4k block sizes are preferred by the disk, even if it advertises 512 byte physical sector sizes, to compensate for disks that misreport the physical sector size.
The data filesystem will now be mounted with the lazytime option, to reduce metadata updates.
See you in the next issue of last week in scylladb.git master!
