ScyllaDB Enterprise 2017.1.3, a minor but production-ready release, addresses various bugs within the stable 2017.1 branch, which is based on the open-source ScyllaDB 1.6 and includes fixes backported from subsequent releases such as 1.7, 2.0, and 2.1, along with enterprise-specific solutions. This release is particularly critical for large clusters with over 50 nodes, where issues like slow gossip state propagation and redundant messaging could lead to data replication loss during initialization, as well as when authentication causes latency and delayed Prometheus metric reporting complicates early issue identification. ScyllaDB Enterprise customers are encouraged to upgrade and can seek support for any queries, with the option for a 30-day evaluation available.
