Congrats to the Scylla team! These features and performance improvements are pretty huge for people working with Apache C* that want to evaluate Scylla. Compatible storage formats will certainly make evaluations much easier. Also, hope the Scylla experience with MVs is better... As far as compatibility w/ Apache Cassandra 3.x+, is there anything outstanding?

The big remaining item is lightweight transactions.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I thought I could modify as long as I either pay or give money to mongodb?

Michael from MongoDB here again. MongoDB Community is still free to view, download, modify, etc. The SSPL change affects no-one besides those offering the licensed software (MongoDB) as a public service.

Michael: Would love to speak with you about this very point. Ping me via LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petercorless/

As for mangodb, I still qualify this as open source. I don't care about what OSI says. For me as long as I can read the source, and modify it for my business, it's fine. It doesn't need to be free as in free beer.

I think it's possible to still be very critical of MongoDB's licensing, and not have issues with Scylla.

Exactly! We're working on LWT & the consensus protocol behind it, Raft. Anyone heading to FOSDEM '19 in Brussels can hear this talk by Duarte Nunes: https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/raft_in_scylla/
