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 4944acbe068..b929b41aaff range are covered.

There were 170 non-merge commits from 27 authors in that period. Some notable commits:

  

The experimental strong consistency feature now [exports](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/1b12f9ea8a230ca1692816a80656f57863c99a31) data plane metrics.

A livelock in the ALTER KEYSPACE statement on a busy system was [fixed](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/d5e790d3b1268d59b8710a2f6f09bf52ae653b81).

Computation of the replication map of a vnodes keyspace was [optimized](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/816b183c7baf9e02791b57641cc019699c264c6a).

Some crashes related to large-data (large partition/row/cell) guardrails were [fixed](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/6293fd7693b5bc7d0e0a5d68c595e8447a494320).

Consistency for large data guardrail changes wrt indexes and materialized views was [improved](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/f8b73983e17f3e273488b87452ee1858e5a06716).

The topology change coordinator now [sequences](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/e69c84b86976b27235dbd87b84ebea3d30f3992c) vnodes-to-tablets migration by creating batches of tables to migrate. This helps with keyspaces that contain many tables, too many to convert at once.

Counter updates against a failed replica now [respect](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/76a259e74679950504ac785dbe1a9874233533b4) hint limits.

The auto\_bootstrap option is marked as [deprecated](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/af6567254a5ec39ac2f70c7404d273cb150510d6). It has no effect.

Automatic training for dictionary compression for sstables will retrain [less frequently](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/4ed1f0baaf8fdb85a3bf3a5650545d2e5793dc89) when it is observed that new dictionaries don’t help reduce the compression ratio.

Unpaged strongly consistent reads now [respect](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/42243d441aa081f7edb770aa2863adfd7eacdc2b) the unpaged query limits.

Incremental repair now uses the [correct repair time](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/a5810fd9234a7ec4c0b2c4062f7bb23ad306a223) to expunge tombstones.

Transient memory for repair was reduced and CPU usage was [optimized](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/d707f436ed8bc2050ec260fbfcf986756903d63b).

The `scylla types` diagnostics command gained support for [collections](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/52522dc9b40d70ece5034f4294a6498e35e0b577).

An LWT persistent failure when replica clocks had large drift was [fixed](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/b9a6ab7ccb91b2a81a3e2ea08c432500a25fe9d8).

Recovery from majority loss in strongly consistent mode was [improved](https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/commit/af0d5f6fa9c14fa86b2aa11691f906d507ded7d6).

  

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