Apache Cassandra 6.0, now in alpha, focuses less on new surface features and more on taking over coordination work that applications and operators have historically handled themselves. Key changes include Accord for ACID transactions across multiple partitions, Transactional Cluster Metadata for more deterministic cluster state management, and repair-related capabilities that reduce external orchestration burden.
