Documented and implemented performance-oriented cache features to support cluster scaling.

June 2025 monthly summary for crossoverJie/starrocks: Delivered a documentation-driven Data Cache enhancement, fixed critical cache and test issues, and improved compute-node reliability to support cache sharing. These changes strengthen user guidance, stabilize CI/tests, and improve overall cache performance and reliability, contributing to faster issue resolution and smoother deployments.

May 2025: Documentation-focused update in crossoverJie/starrocks clarifying data cache memory sizing. Changed the datacache_mem_size default from 10% to 0 with explicit guidance to configure at least 10 GB; multilingual documentation updated to support global users. No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: reduces misconfiguration risk, improves deployment clarity, and enhances maintainability with multilingual docs. Demonstrated skills: clear technical writing, multilingual documentation, and disciplined version control.

April 2025 performance summary for crossoverJie/starrocks: Delivered cross-node cache sharing enhancements and disk cache space monitoring/quotas improvements. These changes enable remote data fetching across cluster nodes, unify local/remote cache management, and improve disk space management accuracy and auto-adjustment. No major bugs fixed in this period. Impact includes reduced cross-node data access latency, improved cache hit rates, and more reliable capacity planning.

March 2025 monthly summary for crossoverJie/starrocks. Focused on improving JDBC table name parsing to handle quotes and prevent misclassification of tables as iceberg metadata. The fix enhances reliability of JDBC sources, reduces ingestion failures, and improves data catalog accuracy. This period also included targeted code reviews and regression testing to ensure deployment stability.

February 2025: Implemented granular per-disk data cache management and stabilized CacheInputStream tests in crossoverJie/starrocks. This work improves multi-disk cache efficiency, reliability, and test stability, enabling scalable data cache operations and faster feedback for performance-critical changes.

December 2024: Delivered stability and clarity for Data Cache in StarRocks. Implemented a critical shutdown fix to prevent resource leakage and published comprehensive documentation for the SLRU eviction policy and related Data Cache configurations. These changes improve reliability during shutdown, accelerate onboarding, and provide clearer guidance for external catalogs and cloud-native deployments.

November 2024 performance summary for pinterest/starrocks focusing on the cache layer improvements and migration reliability. Delivered a key feature unifying the cache instance between DLA and cloud-native datacache, which stabilizes cache state and improves overall performance. Implemented updates to cache management, persistence options, and disk space handling, supported by configuration changes and testing to ensure reliability. Resolved a critical bug in cache data migration where old/new disk paths were swapped, preventing incorrect migrations and data loss. Notable commits include the feature work (b987c8c98e6fd20fbb156556108ccf955d0f6df8) and the bug fix (bc35b4f98c2ef74872228ca3ee0145824bfde7f7).
