This short report brings to light some interesting commits to [scylladb.git master](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/) from the last week. Commits in the 2636469dc71..a74c9d7268d range are covered.

There were 144 non-merge commits from 32 authors in that period. Some notable commits:

  

The `ms` sstable format was [superseded](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/944f1115fea9df22807e06c63b2af79a7c9b528f) by the new `mt` format, correcting an incompatibility in the ordering or partitions on token collision. Users of `ms` should upgrade.

The coordinator will now [reject](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/39cf435ee3d60f51d5ec3856cfa257b0a639207b) writes that with too-large cells, rows, or collection element counts. The rejection thresholds can be configured.

The memory footprint of tablet metadata in memory was [greatly reduced](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/1b94376a8d624aed80dd92fc7475bbf9eb3a092f). This reduces the overhead incurred by the load balancer.

Incremental compaction strategy is now more careful about [avoiding bucket overlap](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/82a4635a2b6589263904a47cf8b04184c7c6ccb4). This reduces write amplification in some workloads.

Strongly consistent tables now [store their Raft log](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/475df55f95392ed7b831ef98091b5510d12487fd) in the main ScyllaDB commitlog.

The perf-simple-query benchmark can now [measure the performance of strongly consistent tables](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/106f69d5e1491131f66c05437e16abd0c9694072).

A crash when processing the update of a static row when a collection index exists on a regular column was [fixed](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/acbd9f1c94ae85d54f00920a239b34da2260ef10).

Alternator, ScyllaDB’s implementation of the DynamoDB API, more carefully [checks the target table](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/c7f26b1d7c69ee3f9ad012bbbaab94aa725c6ec0) for batch writes when auditing is enabled to avoid unnecessary audit records.

  

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