Summary

ScyllaDB Enterprise 2018.1.8, a minor release announced by the ScyllaDB team, introduces important bug fixes and enhancements to the latest stable branch of the enterprise NoSQL database. This release incorporates memory management improvements from the ScyllaDB Open Source 2.3 release, which enhance the database's ability to more reliably free large contiguous memory areas, thereby improving performance for workloads with large blobs or collections. Customers are advised to upgrade in coordination with ScyllaDB support to benefit from these enhancements and other issue resolutions, such as preventing segmentation faults during extreme out-of-memory situations and adjusting audit configuration syntax in the scylla.yaml file.
