I have a feeling Apache leadership probably did the right thing here. It is after all, their brand. Recently there have been some strange things happening with the Cassandra project. Hopefully not another rethinkdb.
For example, a longstanding Cassandra bug makes it hard to build the database from source if you have a modern version of maven installed. Though Cassandra builds itself using ant (why?), simply having modern maven installed is a big enough incompatibility to break the build. That's weird.
Another recent weirdness is that Cassandra was shipping a non working command interpreter (cqlsh) for at least 3+ months as recently as a few months ago. That's now fixed in v3.9. I have to admit, the first thing I thought upon seeing that brokenness shipping in the binary distribution was - Is this because Datastax needs more sales?
- jjirsa 10y agoCan you link the jira for the mvn/ant bug? Or, if it doesn't exist, can you create it?

- winteriscoming 10y agoMaven has a notorious reputation of behaving differently (especially with dependency resolutions) in newer versions of its release which has lead to build failures in some of the projects that I have been involved in. So it may not really be Cassandra's fault here.
