Re: Related to large partition and row out of order

2019-02-12 Thread Benedict Elliott Smith
This sounds like something you should report upstream as a bug to DataStax. I’m unaware of any bugs in Cassandra mainline that cause this behaviour, but if you can reproduce the creation of this partitions in 3.11.2, we can help to diagnose the cause. But without source code it would be a fool’

Jira: Author Field

2019-04-08 Thread Benedict Elliott Smith
A couple of people have recently raised the possibility of an Author field in JIRA, that permits multiple authors (much like we now support multiple reviewers). Unfortunately this can never be quite as clean as Reviewers, as Assignee is a core Jira field and cannot be replaced entirely by Autho

Appreciate everyone's input. It sounds like there's broad agreement that the fixes need to make it into 4.0, which I'm really pleased to see. The question seems to be moving towards scope and timing. TL;DR: This patch is probably the most efficient route to a stable 4.0. The patch is already re

I don’t have a lot to add to Josh’s contribution, except that I’d like to really hammer home that many people were a party to 8099, and as a project we learned a great deal from the experience. It’s a very complex topic, that does not lend itself to simple comparisons, but I think anyone who pa

How would people feel about introducing a field for the (git) commit SHA, to be required on (Jira) commit? The norm is that we comment the SHA, but given this is the norm perhaps we should codify it instead, while we have the chance? It would also make it easier to find. --
