Javier Berragán developed the CDC Raw Directory Space Cleaner for the apache/cassandra-sidecar repository, focusing on backend development and system design using Java. He engineered a periodic task that monitors the cdc_raw directory and automatically removes old CDC log segments when disk usage surpasses configurable thresholds. This approach proactively manages disk space, reducing the risk of disk saturation and improving the reliability of Change Data Capture operations. Javier incorporated enhanced metrics and monitoring to provide greater observability and control, while introducing flexible configuration options for cleaning behavior. His work addressed operational risks and contributed to the maintainability of Cassandra’s CDC data path.

April 2025 monthly summary for Apache Cassandra Sidecar. Delivered a new CDC Raw Directory Space Cleaner feature to proactively manage disk space used by CDC logs in the cdc_raw directory. The feature schedules a periodic task that automatically cleans up old CDC log segments when disk usage crosses configured thresholds, with enhanced metrics for CDC operations and configurable cleaning options for fine-tuning behavior. This work reduces disk pressure, improves CDC reliability, and enhances observability and control over log retention.
