Resolve broken cross-module xrefs and image/anchor targets across the
cassandra docs tree. Companion to apache/cassandra-website#319 (merged
2026-05-13) under the same JIRA umbrella.
Forward-merge of trunk commit 32826fe563 to cassandra-6.0, which was
omitted from the 2026-05-14 forward-merge of this fix to the release
branches. Two hunks in create-custom-index.adoc were already present
via the CASSANDRA-21342 long-tail forward-merge; one additional
unqualified collection-create xref in the same file (not present on
trunk at the time of the original patch) is fixed here. All retargeted
anchors verified present on cassandra-6.0, including
list-superusers-statement (absent on 5.0, present here).

CASSANDRA-21342: Long-tail xref follow-up (cassandra-6.0)
Forward-merge of the trunk long-tail xref fix (commit cc97ee5332) to
cassandra-6.0. Twenty-six files updated; mechanical xref retargets and
three added [[anchor]] targets following the existing convention.
One conflict resolved: create-custom-index.adoc - took the trunk side
for both conflict blocks; the "For related information" line and the
collection-create/list/set bullet list now use
xref:cassandra:developing/cql/collections/...
Note: a separate broken xref at create-custom-index.adoc:58 remains on
cassandra-6.0 (out of scope here). It was fixed on trunk and
cassandra-5.0 by PR #4807 but appears to have been missed in the
forward-merge to cassandra-6.0. To be handled as a separate audit
follow-up.

CASSANDRA-21342: Long-tail xref follow-up (cassandra-5.0)
Forward-merge of the trunk long-tail xref fix (commit cc97ee5332) to
cassandra-5.0. Twenty-six files updated; mechanical xref retargets and
three added [[anchor]] targets following the existing convention.
One conflict resolved: architecture/index.adoc - kept 5.0's no-Accord
state with the snitch xref qualified to cassandra:managing/operating/.

CASSANDRA-21342: Long-tail xref follow-up (cassandra-4.1 subset)
Forward-merge of the cassandra-4.0 long-tail subset onto cassandra-4.1.
Same three files, same six edits as the 4.0 commit.
patch by Patrick McFadin; reviewed by Mick Semb Wever for CASSANDRA-21342
Subset of the trunk long-tail xref follow-up (commit cc97ee5332)
applicable to cassandra-4.0. Three files have broken patterns that
still apply on this branch after PR #4807's forward-merge: the
architecture index, finding_nodes, and use_tools self-page xrefs.
Six edits total. Mechanical retargets only; no prose was rewritten.
Edits omitted (trunk-only):
* Twenty files introduced in 5.0 or later (developing/cql/, reference/
cql-commands/, managing/operating/, etc).
* use_tools.adoc edits 4 and 5 (different line state on 4.x;
packet-capture anchor section structure differs).

Follow-up to the trunk PR #4807 forward-merge for cassandra-5.0. The
trunk R1 commit (8e0700a7cb on the chain leading to 32826fe563)
rewrote reference/cql-commands/commands-toc.adoc to retarget 38
broken xref:reference/cql-commands/<page>.adoc[...] entries to the
corresponding anchors in developing/cql/{ddl,dml,functions,mvs,
security,types}.adoc, kept 6 entries that still resolve under
cassandra:reference/cql-commands/, and dropped 4 DSE-only entries
(RESTRICT, RESTRICT ROWS, UNRESTRICT, UNRESTRICT ROWS).
The same transformation is applied here to cassandra-5.0. The trunk
commit was not cherry-pickable because 5.0's commands-toc.adoc had
diverged from trunk's pre-R1 version by ~9 lines (the DSE-only
entries plus an unrelated formatting drift); a direct edit replacing
the file with trunk's post-R1 content was the cleanest application.
One trunk-only entry is omitted: LIST SUPERUSERS (target
developing/cql/security.adoc#list-superusers-statement). That anchor
does not exist on cassandra-5.0; the LIST SUPERUSERS command was
added after 5.0.
All 29 retarget anchors plus the 6 cassandra:reference/cql-commands/
target pages verified to exist on upstream/cassandra-5.0.

Forward-merge of the Phase 3 A2 fix from trunk (part of commit
32826fe563) to cassandra-4.0. Retargets the ROOT-nav and ROOT-index
Contact us xrefs from the removed master@_:ROOT:contactus.adoc page
to the existing master@_:ROOT:community.adoc.
The fix is applied as a direct edit rather than a cherry-pick: 4.0's
ROOT/nav.adoc has a different surrounding structure from trunk's (no
ifndef::local-build wrapper, no development sub-nav), so a clean
cherry-pick of the trunk patch is not possible. The net effect on
the targeted xrefs is identical.

Forward-merge of the trunk fix (commit 32826fe563) to cassandra-5.0.
Restricted to the changes whose broken-target patterns exist on this
branch.
Two trunk commits intentionally omitted:
- P1 (memtable.adoc retarget): the memtable sections containing the
broken xref were added on trunk only and do not exist on 5.0.
- R1 (commands-toc.adoc rewrite): commands-toc.adoc on 5.0 diverges
from trunk by ~9 lines; the 38-row retarget mapping will be applied
as a separate follow-up commit on this branch.

Rust CQL did not have any commits in 9 years. It doesn't even support
protocol V4, and most of the features that a user could expect from the
driver - like load balancing or pagination. No reasonable app would use
it in production.
This commit replaces it with Scylla Rust Driver on the page with
recommended drivers. Scylla Rust Driver is actively developed and
feature-rich. Even though it is primarily developed for Scylla, we do
always make sure it is also compatible with Cassandra and tested with
it.
The original second sentence implied per-table scope, which contradicted
the first sentence. Replaced with explicit keyspace-scope wording and
removed the redundant vector/non-vector qualifier.

Remember that for set and list collections, you need to specify the element type inside the angle brackets (<>). For map, you need to specify both the key type and value type separated by a comma.
The SQL statement you provided for creating a table in Cassandra has a small syntax issue with the comment. In Cassandra, comments should be enclosed in single quotes (') and preceded by the keyword WITH. Additionally, the comment text should be properly formatted
