docs: add a connectivity section to the core manual - #1130
Conversation
|
Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe manual adds a Connectivity section covering node discovery and network setup, with guidance for VPC peering, AWS Transit Gateway, and direct internet connections. A new page documents client routes configuration, route refresh, DNS resolution, and platform limitations. The prior client routes guide now links to that page, and the upgrade guide points to its new location. Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Readers following the cloud configuration example can connect to localhost instead of their cluster. Correct that example and the remaining connection and DNS guidance before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

104-105: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winDo not promise a 30-second JDK DNS cache TTL.
The positive-cache default is implementation-dependent; it can also be indefinite with a security manager. Readers who rely on the stated 30-second default may keep using an old endpoint address. Describe the default as JVM-dependent and advise setting
networkaddress.cache.ttlwhen a specific refresh interval is required. (docs.oracle.com)🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

26-27: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winInclude the local datacenter in the quick overview.
This bullet says contact points are sufficient. The table below requires a local datacenter. If readers provide explicit contact points but omit the local datacenter, the default load-balancing policy cannot use that configuration as described. Add the local datacenter to this bullet.

How an application reaches a cluster had no home in the manual. Client routes were an H3 inside Address resolution, so the site had no URL and no search result of its own for them, and nothing covered VPC peering, Transit Gateway or direct connections at all. Add manual/core/connectivity/ with an index routing each kind of network to what the driver needs, a page on the cases that need no translation, and the client routes content moved out of Address resolution. The old heading stays as a pointer so the 3.x deep link keeps resolving. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

scylladb#1130 was written against scylla-4.x. At 4.19.0 a hostname contact point is tried at its first address only (scylladb#1074 is newer), and there is no subnet translator, so reword both and drop the links to sections this branch lacks. Backport the fixed proxy hostname section the new pages point to. Use the eval_rst toctree this branch is built with, and name the client_routes/clientroutes spellings for search.

Port the connectivity section from scylla-4.x (scylladb#1130) so the 4.18.1.x docs answer the same network questions: an index, and a page for VPC peering, Transit Gateway and direct connections. Client routes do not exist before 4.19.0.7, so their page says so, carries the search aliases, and explains why an address translator is no substitute. Hostname-expansion and subnet-proxy text is dropped; neither exists in this version. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

scylladb#1130 was written against scylla-4.x, where a hostname contact point expands to several addresses (scylladb#1074). 4.19.2 tries only the first address a lookup returns, so say that and drop the links.

How an application reaches a cluster had no home in the manual. Client routes were an H3 inside the
Address resolution page, so the site had no URL, no sitemap entry and no search result of its own
for them —
sitemap.xmlcarries one<loc>per page, and someone searching "client routes" or"Private Service Connect" got a result titled "Address resolution". VPC peering, Transit Gateway and
direct connections were not covered at all.
manual/core/connectivity/, an index that routes each kind of network to what the driverneeds, and wire it into the core toctree.
connectivity/vpc_peering/— the deployments where nodes are reachable at their broadcastaddresses, so the driver needs no translation; links to the ScyllaDB Cloud guides for the setup
itself rather than restating it.
connectivity/client_routes/— the content moved out of Address resolution, carrying the aliasprose that gives
psc,pland "private service connection" something to match. Titled after theRust driver's
connecting/client-routes.### Client routes (cloud private endpoint deployments)behind as a pointer, so#client-routes-cloud-private-endpoint-deploymentsstill resolves for docs: note that client routes are 4.x-only (DRIVER-1043) #1081's 3.x cross-link.Verified with
make -C docs test(-W --keep-going), green, 0 warnings: three newsitemap.xmlentries and three new
searchindex.jstitles —Connectivity,VPC peering, Transit Gateway and direct connections,Client routes (private networking); the preserved anchor still renders; andthe section sits between Compression and Configuration in the prev/next chain.
Not covered: none of this reaches a reader until a docs branch carries it —
/stable/isscylla-4.19.0.x, frozen at 4.19.0.1, and its Address resolution page stops at "EC2 multi-region".That is DRIVER-1036 / #1056, and it is why this wants to merge before 4.19.2.2 is tagged.
Verifying the above also turned up #1132: under MyST every in-body relative link on this branch
renders dead, these pages' included.
