Just want to bump this up if any reviewers have time before the 9/1 window. I think these are all patch available and ready for review at this point.
Useful improvements for 4.0: > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14303 and > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14557 - Makes the user > interface for creating keyspaces easier to use and less error prone. For > example "CREATE KEYSPACE foo WITH replication = {'class': > 'NetworkTopologyStrategy'}" would just do the right thing after both > patches. > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14459 - Limits the > DynamicEndpointSnitch's use of latent replicas. This should help with slow > queries on startup and every 10 minutes during DES reset (when the snitch's > latency data is empty). There is also a riskier potential follow up patch > which improves the performance of the latency tracking mechanism by ~10x > and reduces garbage to near zero. I believe that Jason is looking at this. > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14297 - Improves the > startup check functionality to make it so that operators can be more > confident that they won't throw unavailable or timeouts during node > restarts. The patch has merge conflicts right now but I was waiting on > someone to confirm it's worth doing before I spend more time on it. > > Minor cleanup patches: > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9452 - Cleanup of some > old configuration, probably an easy thing to commit. > Since then we have a few more: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14358 - Improves the handling of network partitions, especially those caused by statefull firewalls (e.g. AWS security groups) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14319 - Doesn't let nodetool rebuild pass invalid datacenters Cheers, -Joey
