In Apache Cassandra Lunch #39: General Apache Cassandra Updates, we cover General Updates to Apache Cassandra and relevant articles of interest. The live recording of Cassandra Lunch, which includes a more in-depth discussion, is embedded below in case you were not able to attend live. If you would like to attend Apache Cassandra Lunch live, it is hosted every Wednesday at 12 PM EST. Register here now!
In Apache Cassandra Lunch #39, we cover General Updates to Apache Cassandra’s currently supported versions 3.11 and 3.0, an update to Cassandra 4.0 (which is in Beta), and an update to Cass-Operator (new version 1.6.0 released).
Additionally, we mention the Google Summer of Code program, which allows students from all over the world to contribute to Open Source projects over the summer. Lastly, we bring up the concept of Flamegraphs for Cassandra and Kubernetes and their role in visualizing and helping understand Cassandra and Kubernetes garbage collection optimization.
If you missed last week’s Apache Cassandra Lunch #38: Cassandra SSTables and Spark, don’t forget to check it out as well! If you want to attend Cassandra Lunch live every Wednesday at 12 PM EST, then you can register here now! Additionally, the playlist with all the previously recorded Cassandra Lunches is available here.
