Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for apache/ignite: Focused on enhancing observability by enabling System View Performance Statistics Recording and refining data collection to exclude noisy system views. Delivered a feature to record system views into performance statistics files with new operation types for system view schema and rows, including reader/writer logic. Updated tests to reflect new recording behavior and added exclusions for node.attributes system view to reduce noise. This work improves post-deployment diagnostics, capacity planning, and runtime tuning, enabling engineers to track system views' performance more accurately. Commit references IGNITE-24286 and IGNITE-24287.
