Kea users,
We are planning to remove the support for storing leases and host reservations
in Cassandra from Kea. We have announced this with the Kea 1.9.9 release (See
the release notes and the ARM
-https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-1.9.9/arm/install.html#cassandra-cql-support
<https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-1.9.9/arm/install.html#cassandra-cql-support>.)
At this point, we are just adding a warning, to alert any users to plan a
migration. The Cassandra backend will still work in the upcoming Kea 2.0
version. We will be removing support entirely in a future release tbd,
probably Kea 2.2.
The Kea ARM and the blog posted today
(https://www.isc.org/blogs/2021-07-28-kea-cassandra-deprecation/
<https://www.isc.org/blogs/2021-07-28-kea-cassandra-deprecation/>) explain our
reasons. Basically, this is a relatively unpopular feature that is also a lot
of work to maintain and even more work to extend. It doesn’t seem like the best
use of our limited resources to continue it, given that we have many more
requests to add other features.
Regards,
Vicky Risk
Product Manager
