Last week in scylla.git master (issue #92; 2021-08-22)

[Avi Kivity]

This short report brings to light some interesting commits to scylla.git master from the last week. Commits in the b53eeb8a6c..f98cb9650 range are covered.

There were 20 non-merge commits from 10 authors in that period. Some notable commits:

Repair-based node operations are now enabled by default for the replacenode operation. Repair-based node operations use repair instead of streaming to transfer data, making it resumable and more robust (but slower). A new parameter defines which node operations use repair.

Commitlog recently started enforcing its disk space limit as a hard limit, but it turns out that this causes performance regressions, so it is turned off until we find and fix the cause.

The load-and-stream feature, that loads new sstables into a node and distributes their content across the cluster, now also performs related materialized view updates.

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