ScyllaDB Open Source Release 2.1.6

ScyllaDB has released version 2.1.6 of its open-source database, focusing on fixing critical bugs related to the caching of data in DateTiered and TimeWindow compaction strategies. This update addresses issues where partitions might appear empty until a restart, although the data remains intact on disk. The release is backward compatible, supporting rolling upgrades, and resolves additional problems with clustering key restrictions that could result in missing deletions and static row writes. Users are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible if utilizing the mentioned compaction strategies, with various download options available for different environments, such as Docker, binary packages, and AWS AMIs.
