- Improved reading logic to ensure that sstables are not unnecessarily read for columns that are not selected. See CASSANDRA-16737. (Previously DB-4974). (DSP-22478)
- Fixed a bug that {{mode_by_authentication}} is not being picked up when using sstableloader. (DSP-22067)
- Fixed stack overflow error with secondary indexes on collections. (DSP-22070)
- Fixed the URISyntaxException: Malformed IPv6 address when using nodetool or dsetool with Java 8u331 or 11.0.15. This is due to the recent changes of JDK-8278972, in which parsing of URL Strings in Built-in JNDI Providers is more strict. (DSP-22474)
- Enabled periodic logging of system status (default every 5 minutes, configurable). (DSP-22039)
- Made await timeout for shutting down non periodic tasks configurable with the new jvm option {{cassandra.non_periodic_tasks_shutdown_timeout_in_minutes}}. When timeout is reached, force shutdown those tasks. (DSP-22241)
