Adds a CI job that runs tests/integration/standard/ against the latest Apache Cassandra release (currently 5.0.9), next to the existing Scylla jobs. Replaces #709, which re-implemented #339 but timed out after 2 hours on every run.

Why #709 hung

Cassandra clusters never started, and CCM waited on the native port until the job timeout:

  • scylla-ccm runs every Cassandra node with Java 8 (Node.get_env passes hardcode_java_version='8'), so the job's JDK 11 was ignored. Cassandra 5.0 exits with Cassandra 5.0 requires Java 11 or Java 17. For 5.0+ the test harness now uses JAVA_HOME from the environment. The real fix belongs in scylla-ccm; this override can go once ccm picks the JDK by version.
  • Cassandra41CCMCluster.set_configuration_options ran str() on every value, so booleans were written to cassandra.yaml as 'True', which Cassandra rejects.

Commits

  1. tests: fix starting Cassandra 4.1+ and 5.0 clusters with CCM: the two fixes above.
  2. tests: make the standard integration tests pass on Cassandra:
    • New scylla_only marker for Scylla-only features: shard awareness, tablets, rate limit, client routes, the LWT prepared flag, USING TIMEOUT, the rack-aware topology, and the many-shard node in test_exit_without_shutdown.
    • Scylla-only YAML options (auth_superuser_*, api_address) and the tablets DDL clause are now set only on Scylla.
    • test_single_interface is skipped on Cassandra (it never ran on Scylla): CCM is never asked for a single-interface cluster.
  3. tests: wait for the host to be up in test_reprepare_after_host_is_down: fixes a race that the slower asyncio loop hit on Cassandra. It applies to Scylla too.
  4. tests: let test_connection_error wait for the restarted cluster: a constant 1 s reconnect policy and a 60 s wait after the full-cluster restart (failed 2/50 locally before, 0/50 after).
  5. ci: run the integration tests against the latest Cassandra release:
    • The version comes from the newest cassandra-X.Y.Z tag, found with git ls-remote.
    • Python 3.15, JDK 11, and the CCM download is cached.
    • PROTOCOL_VERSION is not set, so the job runs the harness default, v5. It's the only job covering v5.
    • The workflow token is limited to contents: read, and checkout credentials are not persisted.

The Scylla jobs don't change.

Driver bug found by the new job

test_host_addresses and test_control_connection_port_discovery are a strict xfail on Cassandra 4.0+. Since #528, system.local is read with a fixed column list that has no broadcast_port / rpc_port, so the local host's ports are always None on Cassandra 4.0+. That needs a separate driver fix: Scylla's system.local doesn't have those columns. The strict xfail will flag the tests once it's fixed.

Testing

Locally with Cassandra 5.0.9 + JDK 11, a 3-node cluster starts in about 30s and the test_metadata.py subset I ran passes (1 passed, 1 xpassed, 4 skipped as Scylla-only). Before the Java fix, the same run hung with no node logs. The changed auth / control-connection / metadata / client-routes tests also run clean locally (15 passed, 15 skipped, 2 xfailed).

Pre-review checklist

  • I have split my patch into logically separate commits.
  • All commit messages clearly explain what they change and why.
  • I added relevant tests for new features and bug fixes.
  • All commits compile, pass static checks and pass test.
  • PR description sums up the changes and reasons why they should be introduced.
  • I have provided docstrings for the public items that I want to introduce.
  • I have adjusted the documentation in ./docs/source/.
  • I added appropriate Fixes: annotations to PR description.

Limit the strict xfail to Cassandra 4.0 and later. test_host_addresses checks the affected ports only when CASSANDRA_VERSION >= Version('4-a'). On older Cassandra versions, the test can pass and strict=True converts that pass into a failure.

Disable persisted checkout credentials in the Cassandra job.

actions/checkout@v7.0.0 persists the checkout token by default. Code executed by uv sync or the integration tests can use the persisted authentication. Set persist-credentials: false. The workflow grants only contents: read, so the impact is limited to repository-read access.

The Java override in tests/integration/__init__.py (_get_env_with_java_home) is a temporary workaround. The real fix is scylladb/scylla-ccm#804, which makes scylla-ccm use Java 11 for Cassandra 5.0+. Once it's merged and uv.lock points at a scylla-ccm that includes it, the override can be removed.

@coderabbitai all three grouped findings are addressed in 116b00f:

  • xfail_cassandra_local_ports now only applies on Cassandra 4.0+.
  • I dropped ErrorMessage from the LWT test's accepted errors. That came from the old version of the test, and master has rewritten it since. If Cassandra really needs it, CI will show it.
  • persist-credentials: false is set on the Cassandra job's checkout.

Code Review by Qodo

🐞 Bugs (1) 🔗 Cross-repo conflicts (1)



🔴 High

1. Cassandra tests ignore configured Java 🔗 Cross-repo conflict
Description
_get_env_with_java_home replaces scylla-ccm’s version-aware Node.get_env without passing
hardcode_java_version, so CCM no longer selects Java 11 or honors CUSTOM_JAVA_HOME for Cassandra
5 nodes. When a test runner has no JAVA_HOME or relies on CCM’s documented custom-Java setting,
its nodes can start with the wrong Java version and fail.
Code

tests/integration/init.py[R157-158]

+        return common.make_cassandra_env(self.get_install_dir(), self.get_path(), update_conf)
+    CCMNode.get_env = _get_env_with_java_home
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The Cassandra 5 override replaces scylla-ccm’s Java selection and ignores its documented `CUSTOM_JAVA_HOME` setting, breaking test runs that rely on either behavior.
## Fix Focus Areas
- tests/integration/__init__.py[149-158]
## Recommended Fix
Use the ambient `JAVA_HOME` when the new CI job supplies it, but retain CCM’s version-aware Java selection and `CUSTOM_JAVA_HOME` behavior when it does not. Avoid replacing `Node.get_env` wholesale if the required behavior can be selected through CCM.

🟠 Medium

2. Version lookup failures reach test setup 🐞 Bug
Description
The version-discovery step pipes git ls-remote into tail without checking whether the lookup
succeeded or produced a version. If the remote lookup fails or returns no matching tags, it exports
an empty CASSANDRA_VERSION, and the harness proceeds with an empty CCM installation version while
its version checks fall back to 3.11.4.
Code

.github/workflows/integration-tests.yml[R138-140]

+        version=$(git ls-remote --tags --refs https://github.com/apache/cassandra 'cassandra-*' \
+          | sed 's|.*refs/tags/cassandra-||' | grep -E '^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$' | sort -V | tail -1)
+        echo "CASSANDRA_VERSION=$version" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The Cassandra version lookup can fail or return no matching tags while the workflow continues with an empty version, leaving the harness with inconsistent version settings.

## Fix Focus Areas
- .github/workflows/integration-tests.yml[136-140]

## Recommended Fix
Enable pipeline failure detection for the lookup and explicitly require a nonempty version before writing it to `GITHUB_ENV`. Fail the step with a useful error if either check fails.

Resolved findings
1. Single-interface tests never run in CI ✗ Dismissed
Description
The new skipif(SCYLLA_VERSION is None) mark skips the Cassandra case, even though setup_module
creates a single-interface cluster only for Cassandra 4.0 or later. In the Scylla jobs, the default
mapped Cassandra version is 3.11.4, so the existing version guard skips the test there too.
Code

tests/integration/standard/test_single_interface.py[28]

+pytestmark = pytest.mark.skipif(SCYLLA_VERSION is None, reason='CCM single-interface clusters are not supported')
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The new module mark skips Cassandra, the only target for which this test sets up a cluster, leaving the test unexecuted in both CI jobs.
## Fix Focus Areas
- tests/integration/standard/test_single_interface.py[26-33]
## Recommended Fix
Replace the reversed skip condition with one that skips unsupported single-interface clusters on both backends, or enable the CCM single-interface configuration before retaining the test for Cassandra.

2. Cassandra 5 prereleases keep Java 8 ✓ Resolved
Description
The Java override is installed only when CASSANDRA_VERSION >= Version('5.0'), which excludes
versions such as 5.0-beta. When the harness runs a Cassandra 5 prerelease that its version checks
otherwise support, CCM retains the Java 8 environment that this change is intended to replace.
Code

tests/integration/init.py[149]

+if not SCYLLA_VERSION and CASSANDRA_VERSION >= Version('5.0'):
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The Java override excludes Cassandra 5 prereleases even though the integration harness supports them.
## Fix Focus Areas
- tests/integration/__init__.py[149-158]
- tests/integration/__init__.py[309-310]
## Recommended Fix
Gate the override from the earliest supported Cassandra 5 prerelease, rather than the final 5.0 release, while keeping Scylla excluded.

3. Imports fail without the cluster manager ✓ Resolved
Description
The new Cassandra 5.0 branch imports ccmlib.node unconditionally after the module's optional
ccmlib import has already installed its fallback. When CASSANDRA_VERSION is 5.0 or later and CCM
is absent, importing tests.integration raises ModuleNotFoundError before callers can use that
fallback.
Code

tests/integration/init.py[152]

+    from ccmlib.node import Node as CCMNode
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The Cassandra 5.0 Java override bypasses the existing fallback that keeps tests.integration importable when CCM is not installed.
## Fix Focus Areas
- tests/integration/__init__.py[39-51]
- tests/integration/__init__.py[149-158]
## Recommended Fix
Apply the Java override only when the optional CCM import succeeded, retaining the existing fallback for environments without CCM.

Follow-up on ErrorMessage: CI showed it is needed. Under LWT contention, Cassandra 5.0 answers with code=1700 (CAS_WRITE_UNKNOWN, "CAS operation result is unknown - proposal accepted by 1 but not a quorum"), and the driver has no class for that code. 7d7283a now accepts only that code instead of any ErrorMessage, which is what you suggested.

@qodo-scylladb the two __init__.py findings are fixed in 956ac76:

  • The Java override now checks CASSANDRA_VERSION.release[:2] >= (5, 0), so 5.0 pre-releases get it too.
  • It also only runs when ccmlib imported (CCMClusterFactory is set), so tests.integration stays importable without ccm.

CI failures on 7d7283a, and stability checks

Each Cassandra-unstable test was root-caused and run 50 times locally against Cassandra 5.0.9 (3 nodes, JDK 11), in one pytest session per config, the way CI runs it.

Test Cause Before After
test_metrics::test_connection_error (libev) After a full-cluster restart the test waited 15 s, but the default exponential reconnect backoff (+2, +4, +8, +14, +28 s) pushed the next reconnect past that. Fixed in c649a50 (constant 1 s reconnect, 60 s wait). 2/50 failed 0/50
test_cluster::test_pool_management (asyncio) Driver bug in protocol v5 framing, see below. Not in the test. 0/50 with normal reads, 10/10 with 5-byte reads 0/10 with the one-line fix (5-byte reads)
test_reprepare_after_host_is_down, test_no_connection_refused_on_timeout Fixed earlier (wait for host up; accept 0x1700). 0/100 on v5, both loops
Six tests that #709 marked flaky on Cassandra + asyncio Not flaky on current master. 0/300

A full tests/integration/standard/ run on v5 passed on both loops. The only local failure was a missing-tzdata issue on my machine; that test passes in CI.

Driver bug found by the asyncio failure. Connection._process_segment_buffer drops the bytes when only 1-5 bytes of a v5 segment header are buffered: the short-header else: branch leaves the buffer position at the end, and reset_io_buffer() then discards them. The next header is read misaligned, giving CRC mismatch on header ..., which is the error in the CI log. A standalone script that splits two segments 3 bytes into the second header reproduces it every time. Adding seek(0) to that branch fixes every split from 0 to 6 bytes. asyncio processes after each 4 KB read, so it hits this more often than libev. The same code is in apache/cassandra-python-driver. The driver change is not in this PR and will be handled separately.

Not related to this PR: test libev (3.15t) / test_execute_query_timeout is the known #603 ([unstable][freethreading]).

scylladb the two __init__.py findings are fixed in 956ac76:

  • The Java override now checks CASSANDRA_VERSION.release[:2] >= (5, 0), so 5.0 pre-releases get it too.
  • It also only runs when ccmlib imported (CCMClusterFactory is set), so tests.integration stays importable without ccm.

(reply drafted with Claude Code)

Confirmed. Commit 956ac76 addresses both resolved findings:

  • finding 1 — Cassandra 5 prereleases keep Java 8: CASSANDRA_VERSION.release[:2] >= (5, 0) includes 5.0 prereleases.
  • finding 2 — Imports fail without the cluster manager: the override is now guarded by CCMClusterFactory, preserving importability without ccm.

Both are already recorded as implemented; no further action is needed for those findings.

1. Cassandra tests ignore configured java 🔗 Cross-repo conflict ≡ Correctness

_get_env_with_java_home replaces scylla-ccm’s version-aware Node.get_env without passing
hardcode_java_version, so CCM no longer selects Java 11 or honors CUSTOM_JAVA_HOME for Cassandra
5 nodes. When a test runner has no JAVA_HOME or relies on CCM’s documented custom-Java setting,
its nodes can start with the wrong Java version and fail.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
The Cassandra 5 override replaces scylla-ccm’s Java selection and ignores its documented `CUSTOM_JAVA_HOME` setting, breaking test runs that rely on either behavior.
## Fix Focus Areas
- tests/integration/__init__.py[149-158]
## Recommended Fix
Use the ambient `JAVA_HOME` when the new CI job supplies it, but retain CCM’s version-aware Java selection and `CUSTOM_JAVA_HOME` behavior when it does not. Avoid replacing `Node.get_env` wholesale if the required behavior can be selected through CCM.

Handle an empty Cassandra version result.

If git ls-remote fails or the filter matches nothing, version is empty. The step still succeeds, and CASSANDRA_VERSION is set to an empty value. The cache key then becomes cassandra--Linux, and CCM gets no version. Add a guard that fails the step when version is empty. A pipe also hides a git failure, so add set -o pipefail.

Proposed fix
       run: |
+        set -euo pipefail
         version=$(git ls-remote --tags --refs https://github.com/apache/cassandra 'cassandra-*' \
           | sed 's|.*refs/tags/cassandra-||' | grep -E '^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$' | sort -V | tail -1)
+        test -n "$version"
         echo "CASSANDRA_VERSION=$version" >> "$GITHUB_ENV"

CI on 956ac76: both Cassandra jobs (v5, libev and asyncio) passed. The two Scylla jobs that didn't pass are not caused by this PR, since the Scylla jobs are unchanged here:

A maintainer re-run of those two jobs should be enough.

Cassandra 4.1+ and 5.0 clusters never came up, and CCM waited on the
native port until the CI job timed out after 2 hours.

- Cassandra41CCMCluster.set_configuration_options ran str() on every
  value, so booleans were written to cassandra.yaml as the string
  'True'. Cassandra refuses to start with a string in a boolean field.
  Pass the values through unchanged; _get_config_val already formats
  the _in_ms / _in_kb ones.
- scylla-ccm runs every Cassandra node with Java 8 (Node.get_env passes
  hardcode_java_version='8'), and Cassandra 5.0 exits with "Cassandra
  5.0 requires Java 11 or Java 17". For 5.0+ (pre-releases
  included, and only when ccmlib is installed), use JAVA_HOME from the
  environment instead.

- Add a scylla_only marker and use it for Scylla-only features: shard
  awareness, tablets, rate limit errors, client routes, the LWT flag in
  prepared metadata, USING TIMEOUT (on metadata queries and in the
  reported driver config), and null-in-collection errors (Cassandra 5.0
  answers those with a NullPointerException server error instead of
  InvalidRequest). The rack-aware policy topology (2 racks, RF 3) also
  fails to start on Cassandra.
- test_exit_without_shutdown: Scylla only. It builds a many-shard node
  with ScyllaNode.set_smp(), which ccm's Cassandra nodes don't have.
- test_authentication: auth_superuser_name/_salted_password are Scylla
  options, and Cassandra refuses to start with them. Cassandra creates
  the cassandra/cassandra superuser on its own.
- test_ip_change: only set api_address on Scylla, for the same reason.
- test_replicas_are_queried: only add `tablets = {'enabled': false}` on
  Scylla.
- test_replicas: Scylla's CCM names the rack RAC1 and Cassandra's names
  it r1. Assert the right one per backend instead of xfailing.
- test_custom_protocol_handler: the two protocol v5 tests pass on
  Cassandra 4.0+, drop expectedFailure. They are skipped on Scylla.
- test_no_connection_refused_on_timeout: Cassandra 4.0+ answers some
  contended LWTs with error 0x1700 (CAS_WRITE_UNKNOWN, "CAS operation
  result is unknown"), which the driver doesn't map to a class. Accept
  that code too.
- test_single_interface: skip on Cassandra, the only backend it runs on.
  use_cluster() never passes use_single_interface to CCM (scylla-ccm
  doesn't support it), so the nodes never listen on the expected ports.
- test_host_addresses and test_control_connection_port_discovery: strict
  xfail on Cassandra 4.0+. Since scylladb#528 the control connection reads
  system.local with a fixed column list that has no broadcast_port or
  rpc_port, so the local host's ports stay None. That's a driver bug,
  to be fixed separately.

The test waited only for the "Preparing all known prepared statements"
log line. That's logged while the pool opens, before the host is marked
up. With a slow event loop (asyncio on Cassandra in CI), the query then
ran while 127.0.0.1, the only host in the whitelist profile, was still
down, and failed with NoHostAvailable.

Also wait for the host to be up.

test_connection_error restarts the whole cluster and then gave the
session 15 seconds to reach 127.0.0.2 again. Cassandra 5.0 takes longer
than that to open its native port on CI, and the default exponential
reconnection backoff had grown by then (retries at +2, +4, +8, +14 s,
then +28 s), so the next reconnect landed after the wait ended and the
test failed with NoHostAvailable. It failed 2 of 50 local runs.

Use a 1 s ConstantReconnectionPolicy for the metrics tests and wait up
to 60 s. 0 of 50 local runs failed after the change.

Add a tests-cassandra job (Python 3.15, libev and asyncio) that runs
tests/integration/standard/ against the newest X.Y.Z tag of
apache/cassandra, found with git ls-remote. It uses JDK 11, which
Cassandra 5.0 needs, and caches the CCM download per version.

PROTOCOL_VERSION is left unset, so the harness default (v5 on
Cassandra 4.0+) is used both by the test gates and by TestCluster.
The Scylla jobs run v4, so this is the only job that covers v5.

Also limit the workflow token to contents: read and don't persist the
checkout credentials.

Rebased onto master (c2c4e55). The Cassandra jobs had started failing because #1134 added test_exit_without_shutdown.py, whose setup_module calls node.set_smp(). That method only exists on scylla-ccm's Scylla nodes, so it raised AttributeError on Cassandra. The module is now scylla_only. Every other test passed in those runs.

test libev (3.15t) failed again on test_execute_query_timeout, which is the known #603.

Looks good to me, but lets wait for CCM fix to be merged (if it isn't already), migrate to CCM with the fix (if its not done automatically), drop the Java workaround, and then merge.
