This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylladb.git master from the last week. Commits in the b93472d595c..81d11a23cec range are covered.
There were 64 non-merge commits from 21 authors in that period. Some notable commits:
The system.cluster_status virtual table gained a rack column.
The CQL3 SELECT clause now supports literals (“17”) and bind variables (“?”). This is mostly helpful as parameters to functions.
The option to use gossip instead of Raft for cluster topology has been removed. Upgrades from older versions must switch to Raft topology before the upgrade.
The DESCRIBE statement will now hide internal paxos tables used to support LWT.
See you in the next issue of last week in scylladb.git master!
