Many tests in test/alternator/test_streams.py use a do_test() function
which performs a user-defined function that runs some write requests,
and then verifies that the expected output appears on the stream.
Because DynamoDB drops do-nothing changes from the stream - such as
writing to an item a value that it already has - these tests need to
write to a different item each time, so do_test() invents a random key
and passes it to the user-defined function to use. But... we had a bug,
the random number generation was done only once, instead of every time.
The fix is to do the random number generation on every call.
We never noticed this bug when each test used a brand new table. But the
next patch will make the tests share the test table, and tests start
to fail. It's especially visible if you run the same test twice against
DynamoDB, e.g.,
test/alternator/run --count 2 --aws \
test_streams.py::test_streams_putitem_keys_only

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
