Issue fixed in this release:

  • CQL: Prevent ALTERing non-existing KS with tablets #19576
  • Alternator: Extra alternator tables reported with DynamoDB ListTables #19911. The root cause is internal tables, in this case CDC, which should be excluded from the list.
  • Stability (MV): ScyllaDB abort, on a race condition between MV sync and node remove #19754
  • Stability (MV): Materialized view updates destined to a node that has left the cluster are now dropped. #19439
  • Stability(Tablets): Creating a table allocates tablets on the node being decommissioned #20032
  • Stability (Tablets): Fatal error during cache update during elasticity test write workload #19873. Root cause is a race between split compaction and tablet migration.
  • Stability: repair: dangling reference in insert_repair_meta #20057. May cause an issue in a race between repair and table drop.
  • Stability: race condition between counter update and table drop may cause exit #20015
  • Performance: hinted_handoff: Set the right IO scheduling group for commitlog #18654
  • Install: (scylla_raid_setup): install update-initramfs when it’s not available. #19871
  • Install: [offline-installer][OEL8.1] cqlsh fail to execute #19775
  • Admin REST API: A new API system/highest_supported_sstable_version, return the sstable format version supported across the cluster #19772
