+1 nb. I think it’s good to get an alpha out there for people to starting trying out the features which are done.

Not that it's too late to object, just that it's been raised for attention twice now with no objections  :-)  For me, I'm keen to get it out simply because there's so many features coming in 5.0 it helps bring a bit more awareness to each.  There's also a bit of a wait for TCM (from what I've heard off-thread) and we want all the testing we can get and it takes time to get people to come around to doing it.

Learn why this is important A snapshot artifact seems more appropriate for early testing to me, rather than a voted / released build issued by the project given how much has yet to land. - Scott On Aug 25, 2023, at 8:46 AM, Ekaterina Dimitrova <e.dimitr...@gmail.com> wrote:  +1 On Fri, 25 Aug 2023 at 11:14, Mick Semb Wever <m...@apache.org> wrote: Proposing the test build of Cassandra 5.0-alpha1 for release.
