Trust the discussion on the ticket more than my summary here, but: the changes in CASSANDRA-8844 expose some previously-internal commitlog-reading behavior. This allows users to implement their own code to consume changes to commitlogs on tables where the feature is enabled. Also any update on the tentative release of this branch? > The patch is currently under review, but currently targeting a 3.8 release. 3.8 should be released in the next two months as part of the tick-tock release schedule.
