With this change, you can add or remove a DC(s) in a single ALTER KEYSPACE statement. It requires the keyspace to use rack list replication factor. In existing approach, during RF change all tablet replicas are rebuilt at once. This isn't the case now. In global_topology_request::keyspace_rf_change the request is added to a ongoing_rf_changes - a new column in system.topology table. In a new column in system_schema.keyspaces - next_replication - we keep the target RF. In make_rf_change_plan, load balancer schedules necessary migrations, considering the load of nodes and other pending tablet transitions. Requests from ongoing_rf_changes are processed concurrently, independently from one another. In each request racks are processed concurrently. No tablet replica will be removed until all required replicas are added. While adding replicas to each rack we always start with base tables and won't proceed with views until they are done (while removing - the other way around). The intermediary steps aren't reflected in schema. When the Rf change is finished: - in system_schema.keyspaces: - next_replication is cleared; - new keyspace properties are saved; - request is removed from ongoing_rf_changes; - the request is marked as done in system.topology_requests. Until the request is done, DESCRIBE KEYSPACE shows the replication_v2. If a request hasn't started to remove replicas, it can be aborted using task manager. system.topology_requests::error is set (but the request isn't marked as done) and next_replication = replication_v2. This will be interpreted by load balancer, that will start the rollback of the request. After the rollback is done, we set the relevant system.topology_requests entry as done (failed), clear the request id from system.topology::ongoing_rf_changes, and remove next_replication.

ScyllaDB Documentation
This repository contains the source files for ScyllaDB documentation.
- The
devfolder contains developer-oriented documentation related to the ScyllaDB code base. It is not published and is only available via GitHub. - All other folders and files contain user-oriented documentation related to ScyllaDB and are sources for docs.scylladb.com/manual.
To report a documentation bug or suggest an improvement, open an issue in GitHub issues for this project.
To contribute to the documentation, open a GitHub pull request.
Key Guidelines for Contributors
- The user documentation is written in reStructuredText (RST) - a plaintext markup language similar to Markdown. If you're not familiar with RST, see ScyllaDB RST Examples.
- The developer documentation is written in Markdown. See Basic Markdown Syntax for reference.
- Follow the ScyllaDB Style Guide.
To prevent the build from failing:
-
If you add a new file, ensure it's added to an appropriate toctree, for example:
.. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :hidden: Page X </folder1/article1> Page Y </folder1/article2> Your New Page </folder1/your-new-article> -
Make sure the link syntax is correct. See the guidelines on creating links
-
Make sure the section headings are correct. See the guidelines on creating headings Note that the markup must be at least as long as the text in the heading. For example:

Building User Documentation
Prerequisites
- Python
- poetry
- make
See the ScyllaDB Sphinx Theme prerequisites to check which versions of the above are currently required.
Mac OS X
You must have a working Homebrew in order to install the needed tools.
You also need the standard utility make.
Check if you have these two items with the following commands:
brew help
make -h
Linux Distributions
Building the user docs should work out of the box on most Linux distributions.
Windows
Use "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" for the same tools and capabilities as on Linux distributions.
Building the Docs
- Run
make previewin thedocs/directory to build the documentation. - Preview the built documentation locally at http://127.0.0.1:5500/.
Cleanup
You can clean up all the build products and auto-installed Python stuff with:
make pristine

If you are interested in contributing to Scylla docs, please read the Scylla open source page at http://www.scylladb.com/opensource/ and complete a Scylla contributor agreement if needed. We can only accept documentation pull requests if we have a contributor agreement on file for you.
