Split prepare can run concurrently with repair.
Consider this:
1) split prepare starts
2) incremental repair starts
3) split prepare finishes
4) incremental repair produces unsplit sstable
5) split is not happening on sstable produced by repair
5.1) that sstable is not marked as repaired yet
5.2) might belong to repairing set (has compaction disabled)
6) split executes
7) repairing or repaired set has unsplit sstable
If split was acked to coordinator (meaning prepare phase finished),
repair must make sure that all sstables produced by it are split.
It's not happening today with incremental repair because it disables
split on sstables belonging to repairing group. And there's a window
where sstables produced by repair belong to that group.
To solve the problem, we want the invariant where all sealed sstables
will be split.
To achieve this, streaming consumers are patched to produce unsealed
sstable, and the new variant add_new_sstable_and_update_cache() will
take care of splitting the sstable while it's unsealed.
If no split is needed, the new sstable will be sealed and attached.
This solution was also needed to interact nicely with out of space
prevention too. If disk usage is critical, split must not happen on
restart, and the invariant aforementioned allows for it, since any
unsplit sstable left unsealed will be discarded on restart.
The streaming consumer will fail if disk usage is critical too.
The reason interposer consumer doesn't fully solve the problem is
because incremental repair can start before split, and the sstable
being produced when split decision was emitted must be split before
attached. So we need a solution which covers both scenarios.
Fixes #26041.
Fixes #27414.
Fixes SCYLLADB-1782
Should be backported to 2025.4 that contains incremental repair

Scylla
What is Scylla?
Scylla is the real-time big data database that is API-compatible with Apache Cassandra and Amazon DynamoDB. Scylla embraces a shared-nothing approach that increases throughput and storage capacity to realize order-of-magnitude performance improvements and reduce hardware costs.
For more information, please see the ScyllaDB web site.
Build Prerequisites
Scylla is fairly fussy about its build environment, requiring very recent versions of the C++23 compiler and of many libraries to build. The document HACKING.md includes detailed information on building and developing Scylla, but to get Scylla building quickly on (almost) any build machine, Scylla offers a frozen toolchain, This is a pre-configured Docker image which includes recent versions of all the required compilers, libraries and build tools. Using the frozen toolchain allows you to avoid changing anything in your build machine to meet Scylla's requirements - you just need to meet the frozen toolchain's prerequisites (mostly, Docker or Podman being available).
Building Scylla
Building Scylla with the frozen toolchain dbuild is as easy as:
$ git submodule update --init --force --recursive
$ ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./configure.py
$ ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ninja build/release/scylla
For further information, please see:
- Developer documentation for more information on building Scylla.
- Build documentation on how to build Scylla binaries, tests, and packages.
- Docker image build documentation for information on how to build Docker images.
Running Scylla
To start Scylla server, run:
$ ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./build/release/scylla --workdir tmp --smp 1 --developer-mode 1
This will start a Scylla node with one CPU core allocated to it and data files stored in the tmp directory.
The --developer-mode is needed to disable the various checks Scylla performs at startup to ensure the machine is configured for maximum performance (not relevant on development workstations).
Please note that you need to run Scylla with dbuild if you built it with the frozen toolchain.
For more run options, run:
$ ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./build/release/scylla --help
Testing
See test.py manual.
Scylla APIs and compatibility
By default, Scylla is compatible with Apache Cassandra and its API - CQL. There is also support for the API of Amazon DynamoDB™, which needs to be enabled and configured in order to be used. For more information on how to enable the DynamoDB™ API in Scylla, and the current compatibility of this feature as well as Scylla-specific extensions, see Alternator and Getting started with Alternator.
Documentation
Documentation can be found here. Seastar documentation can be found here. User documentation can be found here.
Training
Training material and online courses can be found at Scylla University. The courses are free, self-paced and include hands-on examples. They cover a variety of topics including Scylla data modeling, administration, architecture, basic NoSQL concepts, using drivers for application development, Scylla setup, failover, compactions, multi-datacenters and how Scylla integrates with third-party applications.
