Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Cassandra 4.1.6

Given we allow a pluggable query handler implementation to be specified for the server with a -D during startup. So I would consider the query handler one of our public interfaces.

Hi Tommy,

Thank you for spotting this and bringing this to community's attention.

I believe our primary interfaces are native and internode protocol, and CLI tools. Most interfaces are used to to abstract implementations internally. Few interfaces, such as DataType, Partitioner, and Triggers can be depended upon by external tools using Cassandra as a library. There is no official way to plug in a QueryHandler, so I did not consider it to be a part of our public API.

Maybe we should have an exhaustive list of public APIs, and explicitly mention that native and internode protocols are included, alongside with nodetool command API and output, but also which classes/interfaces specifically should be evolved with care.

Thank you,

Hi,

There is a change in the QueryHandler interface introduced by https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-19534

Do we allow changes such changes between 4.1.5 and 4.1.6?
CASSANDRA-19534 looks like a very good change so maybe there is an exception in this case?
