Currently, it may happen that the last promoted index block includes the partition_end marker. That's because we first write the partition end marker and then emit the unclosed block. This behavior matches Cassandra (checked in 3.x and 5.0.1). This is problematic for ruling out data file reads based on index. The width field is currently unused, but it will be used later where the width of the last block is used to compute the skip position past the last block for lookups which land after all keys in the partition. If width includes the marker then such a skip would land in the next partition, which is incorrect, as the reader context expects a cell element. Even if that was recognized, it's wrong - if this is not a single partition read (so upper bound is not at the next partition too), then we would read from the wrong (next) partition. We want to be able to make such skips in order to avoid unnecessary data file IO for reads of missing rows. Currently, we would always read the last block even if the key is past its "end" position. Another way to solve this would be to propagate the "past the last block" condition from the index cursor to the reader and let it deal with it, but the logic for that would be complicated. With this fix, there is no special logic required.

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.
