Congrats to the Scylla team! These features and performance improvements are pretty huge for people working with Apache C* that want to evaluate Scylla. Compatible storage formats will certainly make evaluations much easier. Also, hope the Scylla experience with MVs is better...
As far as compatibility w/ Apache Cassandra 3.x+, is there anything outstanding?
I agree as well. However, it seems a common mistake to assume you can just "deploy", especially coming from traditional RDBMS.
Great power, great responsibility.
What are you using for managing those 1000 nodes? opscenter or something else?

Junk title, but you can apply this article's critique to many communities in general (especially online ones with a myopic user base). On the whole, the StackExchange sites contain a wealth of information that's readily accessible and can't be duplicated easily. There's certainly room for competition that's not just a plain forum, but what that looks like I'm not sure.
"Harmful" though? Have we already forgotten "experts-exchange" so soon?
