An important follow-up to this release: a significant issue with the request ID feature added in this release. To be very clear: this issue only affects driver sessions against the Astra hosted service (or any other service leveraging the request ID feature) and is new to the 4.19.1 release; earlier versions of the Java driver do not experience anything like this problem. The issue manifests in failures to send retries or speculative execution attempts when using the request ID feature. Additional information can be found in CASSJAVA-116<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSJAVA-116>. This JIRA ticket does include a workaround, although code changes are required.
We are working on putting together a quick release which will address this problem. Until that release goes out we encourage users who wish to interact with Astra to either remain on version 4.19.0 of the Java driver or deploy something like the workaround referenced in the ticket. If you have any questions please feel free to reply here or follow up with us in #cassandra-drivers on ASF Slack.
