This short report brings to light some interesting commits to
scylla.git master from the last week. Commits in the
bd168d57ff..7521301b7 range are covered.
There were 63 non-merge commits from 15 authors in that period.
Some notable commits:
Scylla will now close
the connection when a too-large request arrives; previously
Scylla would read and discard the request. The new behavior
protects against having to read and discard potentially gigabytes
of data.
A SELECT statement could result in unbounded concurrency (leading
to an out-of-memory error) in some circumstances; this is now fixed.
Off-strategy compaction, a method by which sstables are reshaped
to fit the compaction strategy, is now enabled
for bootstrap and replace operation using standard streaming.
