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).

Additional improvement: use a wait-free logic to return a task or work permit

The build+test cells run in `ws("workspace/${JOB_NAME}/${BUILD_NUMBER}/${cell.step}/${cell.arch}/jdk-${cell.jdk}/python-${cell.python}")`, so every build writes a new per-build directory.
The `cleanWs()` only cleans the current cell's leaf, and it sat as the last statement in the `ws` block — so any cell hitting error() (failed/timed-out/aborted) exits before reaching it and leaves the full cell's workspace build behind.

Additional fixes
- upgrade ubuntu-test.docker to ubuntu 22.04 (and some small fixes brought forward from CASSANDRA-20997)
- (.jenkins/k8s) changes gke's small node pool from n2-highcpu-8 to e2-highcpu-8 (gke's own pod resources reqs increased)
- (.jenkins/k8s) limit one agent pod per node (when jenkins is deployed in k8s using our helm)
- (.jenkins/k8s) add the cassandra-6.0 job
- pass maven.repo.local sys prop, if set, into accord's gradle build
- check and fail on maven dependencies checksums when downloading
- when on-the-fly building docker images add `--load` (podman compatbility)
- newer python versions can use venv instead of virtualenv
- rename ubuntu2004_test.docker to ubuntu-test.docker (in 5.0)
- (Jenkinsfile) fix retries (which was no longer working when agents/nodes died, since CASSANDRA-20833)
- (Jenkinsfile) @NonCPS where (now) needed
- (Jenkinsfile) fix default value for the branch parameter (after a new helm deploy)
- (.build/run-ci) fix missing parameters on jobs also at helm deploy time
- (.build/run-ci) .git suffixes on repo urls are optional

org.apache.cassandra.db.rows.RangeTombstoneMarker.Merger is allocated on demand
Optional usage in org.apache.cassandra.db.rows.UnfilteredRowIteratorWithLowerBound is replaced with a boolean field
Double in org.apache.cassandra.io.util.CompressedChunkReader#getCrcCheckChance - specialized supplier is used to avoid boxing
Stack - adjust default from 5 to 6 to avoid extra resizings in org.apache.cassandra.db.transform.Stack#resize
EnumSet for CL guardrail in SelectStatement - add a condition to allocate it only if the guardrail is enabled
EnumSet in ResultMetadata - replace it with plain int flags

Current ReadCommand logic returns ArrayCell values, so when we retrieve a cell value as a ByteBuffer we allocate ByteBuffer instances

The validation of snapshot names is turned off by default.
It is controlled by system property cassandra.snapshot.validation which is by default
set to false except 7.0 branch.
When the validation is turned on, the allowed characters are AWS safe characters together
with "+" character. A user can not specify any path separators in snapshot names even if
the validation as such is turned off.
