It was agreed¹ that 4.0 should have the new configuration defaults of num_tokens: 16 allocate_tokens_for_local_replication_factor: 3
13701's patches: against cassandra, cassandra-builds, cassandra-dtest, ccm; are reviewed, tested, and ready to commit. But the ccm and dtest patches required ccm having to now start nodes sequentially, and adding some longer timeout values in the dtests. The consequence of this is CI runs now take longer. ci-cassandra.a.o's dtests take ~30% longer, and circleci's dtests (with vnodes) have gone from ~22 to ~43 minutes. The general opinion (on slack²) is to commit, and work on improving ccm and dtest startup times in a subsequent ticket. 13701 was intended to be committed before the first beta release because of its user-facing changes. But these numbers are significant enough it makes sense to touch base with dev@ Does anyone (strongly) object to the "commit + follow up ticket" approach? regards, Mick ¹ – https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ra829084fcf344e9e96fa5c61cb31e909c8629091993471594b65ea89%40%3Cdev.cassandra.apache.org%3E ² – https://the-asf.slack.com/archives/CK23JSY2K/p1597747395032600 and https://the-asf.slack.com/archives/CK23JSY2K/p1597849774078200?thread_ts=1597762085.048300&cid=CK23JSY2K
