Sam Tunnicliffe updated CASSANDRA-15862: ---------------------------------------- Test and Documentation Plan: Just CI for regressions Status: Patch Available (was: Open) I've updated branches from 2.2 to trunk. The only user-facing change is the {{org.apache.cassandra.db:type=BlacklistedDirectories}} mbean, which I've aliased to {{org.apache.cassandra.db:type=DisallowedDirectories}}. It's unfortunate, but I think we'll need to deprecate that in 4.0 and remove it later. There's some binary test data (commit logs) which are found if you grep for the black/whitelist, but there's nothing in the actual tests which references their content so I've left them as they are. They're also already removed from trunk. ||branch||CircleCI|| |[15862-2.2|https://github.com/beobal/cassandra/tree/15862-2.2]|[circle|https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/beobal/cassandra/45/workflows/5e29a10f-1abf-430a-9c81-5ec27ef1e4de]| |[15862-3.0|https://github.com/beobal/cassandra/tree/15862-3.0]|[circle|https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/beobal/cassandra/46/workflows/20c73b7f-9965-448b-93d1-f3e57ca40092]| |[15862-3.11|https://github.com/beobal/cassandra/tree/15862-3.11]|[circle|https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/beobal/cassandra/48/workflows/45b7fdea-58f0-4c18-bb00-3de05c6faa59]| |[15862-trunk|https://github.com/beobal/cassandra/tree/15862-trunk]|[jdk8|https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/beobal/cassandra/45/workflows/5e29a10f-1abf-430a-9c81-5ec27ef1e4de], [jdk11|https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/beobal/cassandra/47/workflows/036acc6f-b6e3-411b-a48d-ff1ff7f0d674]| > Use "allow list" or "safe list" instead of the term "whitelist" > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-15862 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15862 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Legacy/Core > Reporter: Ash Berlin-Taylor > Assignee: Sam Tunnicliffe > Priority: Normal > Fix For: 2.2.x, 3.0.x, 3.11.x, 4.0-alpha > > > Language matters.
