Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. in CASSANDRA-18029, two flaky tests were committed by mistake due to my misunderstanding. We agreed on this thread that we should not commit flaky tests right before rc. So now the rc is technically blocked by them. To unblock it, what is needed is to have a waiver on them. If there is not a waiver, I need to go back to that test and remove the two test methods which are flaky. (In practice they will be probably just @Ignore-ed with comment about flakiness so we can fix them later). Flaky tests are org.apache.cassandra.distributed.test.PaxosRepair2Test.paxosRepairHistoryIsntUpdatedInForcedRepair org.apache.cassandra.distributed.test.PaxosRepair2Test.legacyPurgeRepairLoop +1 to a waiver on these two 4.1 flaky regressions to the RC and GA releases. Thanks for bringing it back to dev@ Stefan. Waivers should be done on dev@ (build/release managers can't be keeping up with every ticket), and dev threads and tickets should be kept (reasonably) in-sync, for the sake of inclusiveness. I believe there will be follow up tickets to address these flakies in 4.1.x ?
