My turn to give an update on 4.0 status. The 4.0 board created by Josh can be found at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=355. We have 94 unresolved tickets marked against the 4.0 release. [1] Things seem to have settled into a phase of working to resolve issues, with few new issues added. 2 new tickets opened (that are marked against 4.0) 11 tickets closed (including one of the newly opened ones) 39 tickets received updates to JIRA of some kind in the last week Cumulative flow over the last couple of weeks shows todo reducing and done increasing as it should as we continue to close out work for the release. https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=355&projectKey=CASSANDRA&view=reporting&chart=cumulativeFlowDiagram&swimlane=939&swimlane=936&swimlane=931&column=1505&column=1506&column=1514&column=1509&column=1512&column=1507&days=14 Notables - Python 3 support for cqlsh has been committed (thank you all who persevered on this) - Some activity on Windows support - perhaps not dead yet. - Lots of movement on documentation - Lots of activity on flaky tests. - Oldest ticket with a patch award goes to CASSANDRA-2848 There are 18 tickets marked as patch available (easy access from the Dashboard [2], apologies if they're already picked up for review) CASSANDRA-15567 Allow EXTRA_CLASSPATH to work in tarball/source installations CASSANDRA-15553 Preview repair should include sstables from finalized incremental repair sessions CASSANDRA-15550 Fix flaky test org.apache.cassandra.streaming.StreamTransferTaskTest testFailSessionDuringTransferShouldNotReleaseReferences CASSANDRA-15488/CASSANDRA-15353 Configuration file CASSANDRA-15484/CASSANDRA-15353 Read Repair CASSANDRA-15482/CASSANDRA-15353 Guarantees CASSANDRA-15481/CASSANDRA-15353 Data Modeling CASSANDRA-15393/CASSANDRA-15387 Add byte array backed cells CASSANDRA-15391/CASSANDRA-15387 Reduce heap footprint of commonly allocated objects CASSANDRA-15367 Memtable memory allocations may deadlock CASSANDRA-15308 Fix flakey testAcquireReleaseOutbound - org.apache.cassandra.net.ConnectionTest CASSANDRA-1530 5Fix multi DC nodetool status output CASSANDRA-14973 Bring v5 driver out of beta, introduce v6 before 4.0 release is cut CASSANDRA-14939 fix some operational holes in incremental repair CASSANDRA-14904 SSTableloader doesn't understand listening for CQL connections on multiple ports CASSANDRA-14842 SSL connection problems when upgrading to 4.0 when upgrading from 3.0.x CASSANDRA-14761 Rename speculative_retry to match additional_write_policy CASSANDRA-2848 Make the Client API support passing down timeouts *LHF / Failing Tests*: We have 7 unassigned test failures that are all great candidates to pick up and get involved in: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=355&projectKey=CASSANDRA&quickFilter=1660&quickFilter=1661&quickFilter=1658 Thanks again to everybody for all the contributions.
