Jul 1, 2025July 2025: Delivered a targeted code quality enhancement in scylladb/scylladb by centralizing the index option name and removing a redundant class_name static string. The change unifies the option name usage across index_target.cc and index_target.hh by referencing custom_index_option_name defined in db::index::secondary_index, preserving behavior while reducing duplication and drift. This work improves maintainability, reduces risk of inconsistent behavior during refactors, and supports scalable indexing code as the project evolves.
