@@@ -13,89 -13,14 +13,95 @@@ restore snapshots created with the prev
'sstableloader' tool. You can upgrade the file format of your snapshots
using the provided 'sstableupgrade' tool.
+2.1.1
+=====
+
+Upgrading
+---------
+ - Nothing specific to this release, but please see 2.1 if you are
upgrading
+ from a previous version.
+
+New features
+------------
+ - Netty support for epoll on linux is now enabled. If for some
+ reason you want to disable it pass, the following system property
+ -Dcassandra.native.epoll.enabled=false
+
+2.1
+===
+
+New features
+------------
+ - Default data and log locations have changed. If not set in
+ cassandra.yaml, the data file directory, commitlog directory,
+ and saved caches directory will default to $CASSANDRA_HOME/data/data,
+ $CASSANDRA_HOME/data/commitlog, and $CASSANDRA_HOME/data/saved_caches,
+ respectively. The log directory now defaults to $CASSANDRA_HOME/logs.
+ If not set, $CASSANDRA_HOME, defaults to the top-level directory of
+ the installation.
+ Note that this should only affect source checkouts and tarballs.
+ Deb and RPM packages will continue to use /var/lib/cassandra and
+ /var/log/cassandra in cassandra.yaml.
+ - SSTable data directory name is slightly changed. Each directory will
+ have hex string appended after CF name, e.g.
+ ks/cf-5be396077b811e3a3ab9dc4b9ac088d/
+ This hex string part represents unique ColumnFamily ID.
+ Note that existing directories are used as is, so only newly created
+ directories after upgrade have new directory name format.
+ - Saved key cache files also have ColumnFamily ID in their file name.
+ - It is now possible to do incremental repairs, sstables that have been
+ repaired are marked with a timestamp and not included in the next
+ repair session. Use nodetool repair -par -inc to use this feature.
+ A tool to manually mark/unmark sstables as repaired is available in
+ tools/bin/sstablerepairedset. This is particularly important when
+ using LCS, or any data not repaired in your first incremental repair
+ will be put back in L0.
+ - Bootstrapping now ensures that range movements are consistent,
+ meaning the data for the new node is taken from the node that is no
+ longer a responsible for that range of keys.
+ If you want the old behavior (due to a lost node perhaps)
+ you can set the following property
(-Dcassandra.consistent.rangemovement=false)
+ - It is now possible to use quoted identifiers in triggers' names.
+ WARNING: if you previously used triggers with capital letters in their
+ names, then you must quote them from now on.
+ - Improved stress tool (http://goo.gl/OTNqiQ)
+ - New incremental repair option (http://goo.gl/MjohJp,
http://goo.gl/f8jSme)
+ - Incremental replacement of compacted SSTables (http://goo.gl/JfDBGW)
+ - The row cache can now cache only the head of partitions
(http://goo.gl/6TJPH6)
+ - Off-heap memtables (http://goo.gl/YT7znJ)
+ - CQL improvements and additions: User-defined types, tuple types, 2ndary
+ indexing of collections, ... (http://goo.gl/kQl7GW)
+
+Upgrading
+---------
+ - Rolling upgrades from anything pre-2.0.7 is not supported. Furthermore
+ pre-2.0 sstables are not supported. This means that before upgrading
+ a node on 2.1, this node must be started on 2.0 and
+ 'nodetool upgdradesstables' must be run (and this even in the case
+ of not-rolling upgrades).
+ - For size-tiered compaction users, Cassandra now defaults to ignoring
+ the coldest 5% of sstables. This can be customized with the
+ cold_reads_to_omit compaction option; 0.0 omits nothing (the old
+ behavior) and 1.0 omits everything.
+ - Multithreaded compaction has been removed.
+ - Counters implementation has been changed, replaced by a safer one with
+ less caveats, but different performance characteristics. You might have
+ to change your data model to accomodate the new implementation.
+ (See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6504 and the
+ blog post at http://goo.gl/qj8iQl for details).
+ - (per-table) index_interval parameter has been replaced with
+ min_index_interval and max_index_interval paratemeters. index_interval
+ has been deprecated.
+ - support for supercolumns has been removed from json2sstable
+
2.0.11

+ Upgrading
+ ---------
+ - Nothing specific to this release, but refer to previous entries if you
+ are upgrading from a previous version.

groups
