April 2026 monthly summary for wiredtiger/wiredtiger. Focused on performance, concurrency, and stability improvements. Key features delivered include: (1) Faster C/C++ Build System via Ccache Integration: enabled ccache in CMake to speed up builds using the compiler launcher, including a small typo fix in the CMake scripts. (2) PALite Storage Engine: Sharded SQLite Connections for Concurrency: reduced concurrent sqlite3 connections by distributing page data across 17 shards to improve write throughput. (3) Ingest Cache Prune Timestamp Reset on Leader Transition: reset prune_timestamp on ingest tables after leadership transition to enable immediate eviction of dirty pages and improve cache efficiency. (4) Disaggregated Storage Layered Cursor Handling: disable cursor repositioning for layered cursors and add tests; later revert due to issues with repositioning and statistics handling.
