PROFILE

Aparna Naik

Over a two-month period, contributed two core features to the apache/cassandra repository, focusing on backend development and distributed systems using Java. Developed a DDL Guardrail to enforce durable_writes restrictions on keyspace creation and modification, introducing schema validation, admin-configurable options, and comprehensive unit tests to enhance data durability governance. Later, delivered an Upgrade Compatibility Guard that prevents Cassandra nodes from upgrading to incompatible versions, thereby safeguarding log integrity and cluster stability. Both features addressed operational risks and regulatory compliance, demonstrating a methodical approach to configuration management, database administration, and policy-driven controls without introducing bug fixes during the development cycle.

In September 2025, delivered a targeted governance feature for Apache Cassandra: a DDL Guardrail that enforces durable_writes=false restrictions on keyspace creation and modification. This work enhances data durability governance by preventing misconfigurations that could lead to data loss or inconsistent durability settings. The feature includes admin-configurable guardrail options, config updates, schema validation, and comprehensive unit tests. It aligns with the project’s reliability and regulatory compliance goals by reducing accidental non-durable keyspaces and ensuring policy-enforced changes.
