Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for percona/percona-server-mongodb. Delivered reliability enhancements for initial synchronization with a runtime-configurable fetcher timeout, added validation tests, and enforced that initial sync waits for the sync source's last stable recovery timestamp to advance before cloning to ensure data consistency. Also clarified code ownership for the critical fallback_op_observer.cpp component and updated tests accordingly, reflecting a strong focus on operational stability and governance.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for percona/percona-server-mongodb: Key focus on reliability of distributed transactions during topology changes. Delivered a critical bug fix to the Transaction Coordinator to improve robustness during failover and stepdown. Specifically, removed the explicit ClientOperationKillableByStepdown{false} flag and enabled proper termination, addressing hangs and potential transaction inconsistencies during failover. This change reduces operational risk during topology changes and contributes to higher overall uptime and data consistency. Commits and tracking: SERVER-104103; commit e1a96f5ce3c36e6705e90373138c6c4a575a70df.

Mar 1, 2025In March 2025, for the percona/percona-server-mongodb repository, delivered three focused initiatives that strengthen replication reliability, upgrade readiness, and testing governance. Highlights: - Oplog entry retrieval robustness in replication: Fixed getFirstOplogEntry to re-initialize the query inside the retry loop to handle oplog roll-over during cursor establishment, ensuring a valid entry is retrieved even if the oplog changes during the operation; improves replication reliability. Commit: f45afa5015bb1b1a847ec50461272383e675a209 (SERVER-102365). - FCV 8.2 upgrade readiness and test gating: Updated FCV constants to 8.2, gated tests affected by the upgrade, and tagged/fired test configurations to ensure reliable upgrade/downgrade testing. Commits: 700aa34cea1c6e3562a2943efd135674f4226681; 8a9d615058df1d3ff01e724754c4413bf667ee5b; faf987ebf25dc5f502e309031093648f48556d3a. - Test infrastructure and governance updates for replication tests: Re-enabled disabled FCV multiversion tests and updated CODEOWNERS to include the server-replication team for replication-related tests and code paths.
