Cassandra resolves pluggable extensions by class name from configuration, schema, and tooling
inputs. These names were loaded with an initializing Class.forName(name) and type-checked only
afterward, so the named class ran its static initializer before its type was confirmed. After this
change such classes will be loaded without initialization, verified against the expected interface or
base class, and initialized only through normal use after validation.
A shared FBUtilities.classForNameWithoutInitialization helper and typed
instanceOrConstruct/construct overloads apply this to the configurable extension points loaded by
class name: the authentication, authorization, role-management, network and
internode-authenticator backends, the partitioner, audit logger, configuration loader, seed provider,
snitch, abstract types, secondary and custom indexes, compaction strategy, compressor, replication
strategy, SASI analyzers, key and cache providers, query handler, storage and stream hooks, tracing,
the JMX authorization proxy, MBeans, the monotonic clock, nodetool Sjk, triggers, the
sstableloader and stress class options, and diagnostic event classes (loaded without initialization
and checked against DiagnosticEvent, preserving the InvalidClassException contract and the existing
package restriction).
Regression tests confirm that an invalid-type load is rejected without initializing the target
class, and that valid implementations still resolve.
Hadoop client integration and hard-coded JDK and internal class probes are left unchanged.

Restore deleteCDCRawFiles logic which is present in 6.0 and trunk but probably lost in 5.0 due to merges
Files may be concurrently removed by the CDC management thread, so we tolerate a file that has already been deleted rather than failing the test.
Fix IndexOutOfBoundsException at commitlog.AbstractCommitLogSegmentManager.forceRecycleAll - it is already fixed in 6.0/trunk.
Cleanup test data after run to reduce disk usage.

Replaces the fixed-retry commit loop with deadline-based exponential
backoff for long running CMS commit operations (cms_commit_timeout=1h, 5s-60s jitter)
to allow heavily contended CMS nodes time to commit transforms.

- Introduced LocalCommand marker interface to identify commands that execute purely locally without a JMX connection.
- Updated History command to implement LocalCommand.
- Updated CassandraCliHelpLayout to check for LocalCommand instead of calling execution-flow methods, safely suppressing JMX options for offline commands.

* Insert the actual PreInitialize entry in the distribute metadata log
table using a callback after the log is bootstrapped.
* Remove the implicit insert on subsequent commit, i.e. of the Initialize entry
* Enables the full specifics of PreInit to be encoded in the serialized form,
removing the special casing for the first CMS member and other nodes
* Correctly invalidate cached KeyspaceMetadata when in a pre-initialized state
* Update Host ids in the system.peers_v2 table directly following CMS initialization
* Initialise gossip/local host id after CMS initialization completes
* Clean up CMS initialization errors which occur after the PreInitialize stage

Adds an opt-in O_DIRECT write path for background SSTable producers,
bypassing the OS page cache for data that is unlikely to be re-read
soon after being written. Memtable flushes remain buffered.
Enabled via two new YAML knobs:
- background_write_disk_access_mode: standard (default) | direct
- direct_write_buffer_size: 1MiB (default; aligned up to FS block
size, auto-grown to fit a worst-case compressed chunk)
The path is gated by config, table compression being enabled, and an
OperationType allowlist in DataComponent. The allowlist is exhaustive
over OperationType: any new value left unclassified fails static
initialization.
Operations on the DIO path: COMPACTION, MAJOR_COMPACTION,
TOMBSTONE_COMPACTION, ANTICOMPACTION, GARBAGE_COLLECT, CLEANUP,
UPGRADE_SSTABLES, WRITE, STREAM (chunked receiver only), RELOCATE,
UNKNOWN (offline sstablesplit).
Operations off the DIO path:
- FLUSH (policy: just-flushed data is hot, keep in page cache)
- SCRUB (correctness: tryAppend needs mark/resetAndTruncate)
- Zero-Copy Streaming (bypasses DataComponent.buildWriter)
- Uncompressed writers (only CompressedSequentialWriter has a DIO
subclass in this change)
StartupChecks fails fast if 'direct' is requested on a platform/FS
that does not support O_DIRECT.

Adds missing @Test annotations to testPasswordUpdateRateLimiting and testPasswordUpdateRateLimitingDisabled.
Also fixes minor typos in comments and assertion strings.
Fix flaky CassandraRoleManagerTest by grouping per-role rate limit checks consecutively.

The implementation of this CEP adds the ability to plug-in custom compressors providers
which might delegate the de/compression to a specialized hardware. An operator does not
need to change any schema definition, the mere implementation of a compressor provider
put on a class path and its related configuration in cassandra.yaml will transparently
start to use appropriate compressor, e.g. backed by a specialized hardware.
