Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for percona/percona-server-mongodb focused on stabilizing CI outcomes and strengthening cross‑region replication. Two primary deliveries: 1) Bug fix – Test stability: Disabled the catalog_list_operations_consistency.js test in restore passthrough suites due to known drop-invalid-views restore failures. This prevents false negatives from impacting data-consistency checks and CI throughput. Commit: fdec33bf96bdb6a945959882f313cb8204a9e91e. 2) Feature – Replica Set Sync Source Selection Enhancement: Improved sync source selection across regions by prioritizing the primary when eligible candidates reside in the same data center, boosting replication stability and data consistency in multi-region deployments. Commit: bcd1f37126d6d76335f09cbb4bccc7dd58b91a49. Impact and value: Reduced CI noise and accelerated release readiness due to more stable test outcomes; strengthened cross-region replication reliability, contributing to safer, faster data synchronization across geographies. Demonstrated skills: test harness stabilization, region-aware replication logic, clear commit discipline, and end-to-end traceability.
