February 2026 monthly summary for apache/doris: Delivered significant reliability, performance, and observability improvements across cloud and BE components, with concrete value for upgrades, migrations, and operator efficiency. Key features delivered: - Tablet Scheduling Enhancements (Activity-based prioritization): Introduced a sliding 1-hour activity window to track tablet I/O and updated scheduling to prioritize the most active databases/tables/partitions. Extended SHOW TABLET to display access statistics for improved observability, enabling data-driven balancing decisions. - Observability and scheduling integration: The activity metrics feed into balancing logic, improving resource utilization and reducing latency for busy workloads. Major bugs fixed: - Backend Fallback for Smooth Upgrades: Fixed upgrade-time query failures by allowing the old backend to serve as a fallback when the new backend is not yet alive, improving upgrade reliability and reducing downtime. - Inflight Tablet Count Decrement Bug in Download Process: Fixes where inflight tablet counts were not decremented on early returns, eliminating unnecessary 5-minute delays during tablet migration warmups. - CloudPartition CommittedVersion Semantics: Return -1 for unknown/managed-by-meta-service versions to align with semantic expectations and reduce user confusion. - Logging and Configuration Correctness across Console and Kubernetes: Corrects Log4jConfig loading order in console mode, standardizes log output for Kubernetes environments, and adds unit tests to guard correctness; improves reliability of logs, crash stacks, and observability in both cloud and BE deployments. - Build/CI robustness and Clang compatibility: Fix duplicate symbol issues by guarding GCC-style coverage flags with a Clang-aware condition, and enhance CI/dockers test robustness to reduce flakes and improve reproducibility. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased uptime and upgrade reliability for cloud deployments; faster, more predictable tablet migrations; improved observability across SHOW TABLET and access statistics; standardized logging across console and Kubernetes; and reduced CI-related flaky failures. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Distributed scheduling and load balancing, cloud BE orchestration, and heartbeat-based failover - Observability instrumentation and SQL-visible metrics (SHOW TABLET) - Cloud and Kubernetes operational readiness, including Log4j configuration and log sinks - Build systems (CMake) and compiler-specific considerations (Clang vs GCC), and CI/CD reliability Business value: - Reduced downtime during upgrades, faster and more predictable tablet migrations, better utilization of cluster resources under busy workloads, and easier troubleshooting through consistent logs and observability.
