This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylladb.git master from the last week. Commits in the f9b74e63c2e..509fb96dcf2 range are covered.
There were 81 non-merge commits from 19 authors in that period. Some notable commits:
Alternator, ScyllaDB’s implementation of the DynamoDB API, now supports mutual TLS authentication via client certificates.
The strongly consistent tables implementation, using Raft for the data plane, now supports BATCH statements.
The byte-comparable key transform now supports empty values (those can be created with blobAsInt(0x)).
The nodetool scrub command can now opt out of quarantining invalid sstables.
The bm25() function, used to order full-text-search results, can now be part of the SELECT clause in order to return the match quality.
The tablet load balancer will now perform calculations based on the target tablet count for a table, not just the result of the next split/merge. This improves tablet layout when there are many small tables.
See you in the next issue of last week in scylladb.git master!
