There are currently two options how to "request" the number of initial tables for a table 1. specify it explicitly when creating a keyspace 2. let scylla calculate it on its own Both are not very nice. The former doesn't take cluster layout into consideration. The latter does, but starts with one tablet per shard, which can be too low if the amount of data grows rapidly. Here's a (maybe temporary) proposal to facilitate at least perf tests -- the --tablets-initial-scale-factor option that enhances the option number two above by multiplying the calculated number of tablets by the configured number. This is what we currently do to run perf tests by patching scylla, with the option it going to be more convenient. Closes scylladb/scylladb#16919 * github.com:scylladb/scylladb: config: Add --tablets-initial-scale-factor tablet_allocator: Add initial tablets scale to config tablet_allocator: Add config

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.
