Considering the latest comments on the ticket from today, I don’t see this ticket anymore as a beta blocker. Also, what is the plan for cutting beta branch? I am still learning the Apache/C* way so excuse me if I missed something. Looking at the Lifecycle document, I see a point only about GA maj

Lorina, lovely - thanks so much. Editing/proofing would be appreciated, and perhaps we can add a call to action to improve docs. And thank you, Josh! Appreciate the help. :-) If folks have other ideas for awareness, reach out anytime. On Thu, Jun 25, 2020 at 11:46 AM Joshua McKenzie wrote: >

I don't see any reason not to bring in other drivers to the project. We can start with the Java driver. I think Nate might be aware of the specifics of the process. Dinesh > On Jun 25, 2020, at 11:36 AM, Joshua McKenzie wrote: > > My understanding is that there's comparable traffic on python,

My understanding is that there's comparable traffic on python, java, and node drivers in terms of usage out in the Cassandra ecosystem. Shall we get started w/the java process and incubation on the donation (CLA's, vetting contributions, etc) with plans to follow up with python and then node? What

Hi Melissa - Glad to hear about the marketing efforts! I'm working on an effort to improve the Apache C* documentation, so if you have questions or suggestions about that, I'd be happy to hear them. I'm also happy to do any editing/reading of blogs before they go out. Cheers, Lorina On Wed, J

I don't think we really reached a consensus on this one. Some folks certainly vocalized a preference for not removing in 4.0, but I read it as debate still ongoing then losing momentum. Specifically thinking of Sylvain's comment here that kind of dead-ended: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CA

There appears to be a rather important misunderstanding here. Compact storage *is removed* from 4.0, it has been since at least CASSANDRA-10857 which prevented 4.0 to start if any compact tables existed. This was done 2.5+ years ago and is explicitly indicated in the NEWS file since then. The tic
