This isn't just any survey – it's YOUR chance to shape the direction and share your opinions about Cassandra. We've got Cassandra 5 out now, and 5.1 is already underway. The types of question

Important news about Cassandra Summit

*Hello Cassandra Community,We all see what’s happening in tech right now. Cuts are being made, and budgets are frozen. For Cassandra Summit, this has translated to low sponsorship and registrations. The program committee has been discussing options with the Linux Foundation events team, and the dec

Re: [DISCUSS] API modifications and when to raise a thread on the dev ML

API changes are near and dear to my world. The scope of changes could be minor or major, so I think B is the right way forward. Not to throw off the momentum, but could this even warrant a separate CEP in some cases? For example, CEP-15 is a huge change, but the CQL syntax will continuously evolve

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Evolving governance in the Cassandra Ecosystem

This is really game-changing and an important change for the Cassandra community. I would like to think that creating a governance structure like this will help get more ecosystem projects under the umbrella of Apache Cassandra. Thank you PMC, for spending the time to create this very needed frame

Re: [DISCUSSION] Cassandra's code style and source code analysis

I'm going to +1 what Stefan has said. I've heard on many occasions from newcomers to the project that having to use Ant is a deterrent. As a matter of fact, a few weeks ago, I spent a Sunday afternoon helping somebody trying to build Cassandra and Ant caused a ton of problems. "Ok. ant really super

Re: [Discuss] CASSANDRA-17896, Gossip, and foot guns

IIRC that is something you can already change in JMX? If that's the case, I say leave that as the barrier to entry into the "parameters of doom." CEP-21 is the right path forward. It addresses the root cause instead of creating more ways to fix how you got there. This is the best thing for end use
