Hi all We just wanted to give a heads up that we merged CEP-21, Transactional Cluster Metadata to trunk[1] today.
There are about 15-20 flaky or failing tests in total, spread over several test jobs[2] (i.e. single digit failures in a few of these). We have filed JIRAs for the failures and are working on getting those fixed as a top priority. CASSANDRA-19055[3] is the umbrella ticket for this follow up work. There are also a number of improvements we will work on in the coming weeks, we will file JIRAs for those early next week and add them as subtasks to CASSANDRA-19055. This is a huge patch and so constant rebasing onto even small changesets is challenging, hence we took the decision to merge now despite CI not being 100% stable. Landing in trunk also mitigates this somewhat, as resolving these issues isn’t blocking any imminent release. Given the scope and ambition of the changes some teething problems will be inevitable, so please reach out in #cassandra-tcm on ASF Slack if you have any questions or problems. We do not expect this to add a substantial amount of work for other contributors, but if this happens to affect your patch we’ll gladly help out. Thanks Sam, Alex & Marcus [1] https://github.com/apache/cassandra/commit/ae0842372ff6dd1437d026f82968a3749f555ff4 [2] https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/michaelsembwever/cassandra/256/workflows/c4fda8f1-a8d6-4523-be83-5e30b9de39fe [3] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-19055
