Been a bit over a month; let's check in and see how things are looking.
We released the following:
- 3.11.15
- 3.0.29
- 4.0.10
- 4.1.2
Thanks to all the release managers who worked on getting these out the door.
[New Contributors Getting Started]
First off, come hang out with us in the #cassandra-dev channel on \
https://the-asf.slack.com (reply to me on this email if you need an invite for your \
account), and reach out to the @cassandra_mentors alias with any questions about the \
code. We have a list of hand-curated "starter tickets" available here: \
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=484&quickFilter=2160&quickFilter=2162. \
Anything in the "ToDo" column is a great candidate to pick up if you want to get your \
feet wet with the project. Some other useful links:

52 threads since last email. I have made a mistake in waiting this long. ;)
Jonathan Ellis' thread on vector search reached a conclusion, a follow up discussion \
about API's took place, and a CEP was proposed, voted upon, and passed! Phew.

Congratulations to Jonathan and everyone else involved for getting that up and \
running and driving to consensus that rapidly.
Speaking of CEP's, the patch for CEP-28 (Spark bulk writer / reader) via the sidecar \
was posted: https://lists.apache.org/thread/7pwvlwkg49qm72xnlf0m322fy4fmvxk3. Doug \
Rohrer also called a vote for CEP-28 and it passed as well! \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/7kndoo6rjchrlk41hbl8v7sclkvdzkgt Congrats to Doug and \
everyone else who collaborated on that effort as well. Quite a month for us as a \
project!
Maxim Muzafarov keeps fighting the good fight on vtables and updating running \
configurations: https://lists.apache.org/thread/gdtr3vp375d3nyj6h8xo7owth1s556lz.
Jakub's working on getting the ant target for generate-idea-files to behave with \
JDK17: https://lists.apache.org/thread/o2fdkyv2skvf9ngy9jhpnhvo92qvr17m. Looks like \
he has a few reviewers on the ticket but if you're curious you can find that here: \
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18467
Discussion around CEP-29 (CQL NOT operator) continued: \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/cl4d7yo9q6ygnqstk8hhgm597ywg69d1 And was voted upon: \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/rwxc8y0c8johrhqcpxsdkns85rop0fxg and passed! \
Congratulations Piotr and crew on that; that's a feature I'm sure a lot of our users \
will appreciate.
Claude Warren has a PR open working with an SSTableDowngrader tool: \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/wvb8c5svvyvny0b61ybbw0jvxxflog4p. The PR can be found \
here: https://github.com/apache/cassandra/pull/2045, and this is in relation to the \
C* JIRA issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8928.
A new release of the in-jvm dtest API went out: \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/tsn70ox1th1x2vcsc7kfky9jsv1foq61
Maxim Muzafarov reached out to let everyone know about the migration of properties \
into the CassandraRelevantProperties class: \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/3g5g5kmk64m54qlyhpmdvxcw8m2vsytz. I'm very happy \
SonarLint will stop yelling at me about this class of warnings going forward. :)
With SAI appearing as well as ANN Vector search, the topic of how we handle our \
CREATE INDEX DDL came up courtesy of Caleb Rackliffe: \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/4jxq1tghvb10f848q5vkq241w39lyw57. Looks like we've \
managed to distill things down to something we can wrangle to consensus: \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/oswfj6rsq298dfffw3yzy12q82ybczn7
Our usage of FixVersion continues to evolve: \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/5ompnd3l76kpwc831h80o1jd1g87dcgy. This thread came up \
around what FixVersion we apply to tickets that are sub-tasks of epic's for approved \
CEP's that may or may not land in a major. Since we don't know if they're going to be \
done by the hard cutoff for 5.0 for instance, 5.0 as a release version would be \
incorrect. And since 5.X is historically reserved for "5.0-targeting but not yet \
merged", we end up in a bind there.
Benedict definitely brought me around to the approach of having: FIXVERSION = \
5.0-target, and upon merge of the parent epic we can update all children tickets to \
whatever the parent has. No real strong consensus yet on the thread but moving away \
from something that requires explaining (5.X) to something that's immediately \
apparent (5.0-target) seems like an easy win to me. :)
Jonathan Ellis reached out about agrona vs. fastutils, and we have some moderately \
strong feelings about libraries on the project: \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/bh4cd8z367rz18cr6gk4nw8z2kd0bl32. I just did some \
brief googling on agrona vs. fastutil benchmarks and I think I came away more \
confused than when I started. I'm sympathetic to Aleksey waxing poetic about the \
beauty of Agrona, but also remain somewhat sad we don't have some kind of documented \
or more discoverable place / way to see "here's what's available in the code-base; \
here's what libraries we depend on". Maybe someone will train an open-source LLM on \
the C* code-base and make it available as-a-service for folks on the project to chat \
with to find such things in the future...
Derek Chen-Becker proposed servers be able to send a SUPPORTED message for graceful \
auth selection by clients indicating which authenticators are supported: \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/lvolm2r6q9q39v7rrzl08vwt86xb0yof. Much like myself, \
he is a wizard with names and led with the incredibly bold: "MyAwesomeAuthenticator". \
;)
That thread led to Jacek chiming in with CEP-31: \
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-31+%28DRAFT%29+Negotiated+authentication+and+authorization, \
Negotiated authentication and authorization. If you have experience, thoughts, or \
curiosity in this space, chime in. (Jacek also formally brought it up for discussion \
in its own thread here: \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/z83zzp83lxfx11b7mf45vtdzs7dtryzb)
Stefan Miklosovic has been digging around in cassandra-stress and has some questions \
about whether simplenative is still relevant: \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/1jsfx8vz769rb7sgqkh6pw57d6gs7wzh. There's a JIRA \
following up on this here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18529; \
could lead to some nice cleanup in stress if adopted.
And last but not least, I went ahead and kicked the hornet's nest about where some \
things in our ecosystem live, whether they should be submodules or not, and how we \
can get better adoption. This time, the topic was cassandra-harry: \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/tzmwt6ngc4wykop3j2f2vwg16j062vgt. It seems like we're \
narrowing down on a general lazy-consensus worthy stance of bringing it in-tree. Abe \
summed up the state of things here pretty well:
"This topic has come up quite a few times recently - around shared utilities (CEP-10 \
concurrency primitives, etc), dtest-api, query parser, etc. The project has tried out \
a few different approaches on composition of separate projects. Hopefully in the near \
future we find the one that works best and can start this process of splitting out \
libraries."
I'm personally still bullish on us refactoring out a shared library with general \
collections and non-C* specific primitives everything in the ecosystem can rely on \
(drivers, accord, integrations, sidecar, etc) that we can also more easily reference \
to see what we have available to work with. As our project continues to grow, the \
discoverability problem grows with it.
[Checking in on CI]
https://butler.cassandra.apache.org/#/
May has already passed us by. Since April 25th...
3.0: 13 -> 7. Some bouncing around.
3.11: 9 -> 11. High water mark just short of 30, but mostly around the 20 mark.
4.0: 6 -> 14. This one's had a tighter band around 8 failures but spioked to ~70 \
somewhere in there.
4.1: 4 -> 4. Definitely higher amplitude than 4.0, but mostly looks to be averaging \
6-ish failures.
trunk: 10 -> 15. This one's had some more interesting spikes but averaging around \
maybe 13? 12? failures.
We're keeping things together; I expect the changes that come along with \
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18133 (In-tree build scripts) and the \
general work on Repeatable ci-cassandra.a.o on \
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18137 will have a positive impact on \
this as we lead up to release season.

Phew. So yeah, busy month for us all here. Excited to see Trie-based SSTables land \

improvements, and new features land.
5.0 is shaping up to be an impressive release.

search, the topic of how we handle our CREATE INDEX DDL came up courtesy of Caleb \
Rackliffe: <a href="https://lists.apache.org/thread/4jxq1tghvb10f848q5vkq241w39lyw57">https://lists.apache.org/thread/4jxq1tghvb10f848q5vkq241w39lyw57</a>. \
Looks like we've managed to distill things down to something we can wrangle to \
consensus: <a href="https://lists.apache.org/thread/oswfj6rsq298dfffw3yzy12q82ybczn7"> \
https://lists.apache.org/thread/oswfj6rsq298dfffw3yzy12q82ybczn7</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Our \
usage of FixVersion continues to evolve: <a \
href="https://lists.apache.org/thread/5ompnd3l76kpwc831h80o1jd1g87dcgy">https://lists.apache.org/thread/5ompnd3l76kpwc831h80o1jd1g87dcgy</a>. \
This thread came up around what FixVersion we apply to tickets that are sub-tasks of \
epic's for approved CEP's that may or may not land in a major. Since we don't know if \
they're going to be done by the hard cutoff for 5.0 for instance, 5.0 as a release \
version would be incorrect. And since 5.X is historically reserved for "5.0-targeting \
but not yet merged", we end up in a bind there.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Benedict \
definitely brought me around to the approach of having: FIXVERSION = 5.0-target, and \
upon merge of the parent epic we can update all children tickets to whatever the \
parent has. No real strong consensus yet on the thread but moving away from something \
that requires explaining (5.X) to something that's immediately apparent (5.0-target) \
seems like an easy win to me. :)<br></div><div><br></div><div>Jonathan Ellis reached \
out about agrona vs. fastutils, and we have some moderately strong feelings about \
libraries on the project: <a \
href="https://lists.apache.org/thread/bh4cd8z367rz18cr6gk4nw8z2kd0bl32">https://lists.apache.org/thread/bh4cd8z367rz18cr6gk4nw8z2kd0bl32</a>. \
I just did some brief googling on agrona vs. fastutil benchmarks and I think I came \
away more confused than when I started. I'm sympathetic to Aleksey waxing poetic \
about the beauty of Agrona, but also remain somewhat sad we don't have some kind of \
documented or more discoverable place / way to see "here's what's available in the \
code-base; here's what libraries we depend on". Maybe someone will train an \
open-source LLM on the C* code-base and make it available as-a-service for folks on \
the project to chat with to find such things in the \
future...<br></div><div><br></div><div>Derek Chen-Becker proposed servers be able to \
send a SUPPORTED message for graceful auth selection by clients indicating which \
authenticators are supported: <a \

Much like myself, he is a wizard with names and led with the incredibly bold: \
"MyAwesomeAuthenticator". ;)<br></div><div><br></div><div>That thread led to Jacek \
chiming in with CEP-31: <a \

Negotiated authentication and authorization. If you have experience, thoughts, or \
curiosity in this space, chime in. (Jacek also formally brought it up for discussion \
in its own thread here: <a \
href="https://lists.apache.org/thread/z83zzp83lxfx11b7mf45vtdzs7dtryzb">https://lists. \
apache.org/thread/z83zzp83lxfx11b7mf45vtdzs7dtryzb</a>)<br></div><div><br></div><div>Stefan \
Miklosovic has been digging around in cassandra-stress and has some questions about \
whether simplenative is still relevant: <a \
href="https://lists.apache.org/thread/1jsfx8vz769rb7sgqkh6pw57d6gs7wzh">https://lists.apache.org/thread/1jsfx8vz769rb7sgqkh6pw57d6gs7wzh</a>. \
There's a JIRA following up on this here: <a \
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18529">https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18529</a>; \
could lead to some nice cleanup in stress if \
adopted.<br></div><div><br></div><div>And last but not least, I went ahead and kicked \
the hornet's nest about where some things in our ecosystem live, whether they should \
be submodules or not, and how we can get better adoption. This time, the topic was \
cassandra-harry: <a href="https://lists.apache.org/thread/tzmwt6ngc4wykop3j2f2vwg16j062vgt">https://lists.apache.org/thread/tzmwt6ngc4wykop3j2f2vwg16j062vgt</a>. \
It seems like we're narrowing down on a general lazy-consensus worthy stance of \
bringing it in-tree. Abe summed up the state of things here pretty \
well:<br></div><div><br></div><div>"This topic has come up quite a few times recently \
- around shared utilities (CEP-10 concurrency primitives, etc), dtest-api, query \
parser, etc. The project has tried out a few different approaches on composition of \
separate projects. Hopefully in the near future we find the one that works best and \
can start this process of splitting out libraries."<br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm \
personally still bullish on us refactoring out a shared library with general \
collections and non-C* specific primitives everything in the ecosystem can rely on \
(drivers, accord, integrations, sidecar, etc) that we can also more easily reference \
to see what we have available to work with. As our project continues to grow, the \
discoverability problem grows with \
it.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>[Checking in on CI]<br></div><div><a \
