The boost test view_schema_test.cc::node_view_update_backlog can be flaky if the test machine has a hiccup of 100ms, and this patch fixes it: The test is a unit test for db::view::node_update_backlog, which is supposed to cache the backlog calculation for a given interval. The test asks to cache the backlog for 100ms, and then without sleeping at all tries to fetch a value again and expect the unchanged cached value to be returned. However, if the test run experiences a context switch of 100ms, it can fail, and it did once as reported in #27876. The fix is to change the interval in this test from 100ms to something much larger, like 10 seconds. We don't sleep this amount - we just need the second fetch to happen *before* 10 seconds has passed, so there's no harm in using a very large interval. However, the second half of this test wants to check that after the interval is over, we do get a new backlog calculation. So for the second half of this test we can and should use a shorter backlog - e.g., 10ms. We don't care if the test machine is slow or context switched, for this half of the test we want to to sleep *more* than 10ms, and that's easy. The fixed test is faster than the old one (10ms instead of 100ms) and more reliable on a shared test machine. Fixes #27876.

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.
