Re: Meaningless emptiness and filtering

Talking in slack I was linked to a Go Client issue (see 
https://the-asf.slack.com/archives/CK23JSY2K/p1742413507980149?thread_ts=1742409054.164389&cid=CK23JSY2K
 and https://the-asf.slack.com/archives/C05LPRVNZV1/p1741108083834769 )

gocql was sending empty bytes until recently…

On each server we fit 6 jenkins executors, increasing our ci-cassandra.a.o

This raises our executor count from 98 to 140, and means NetApp's donation

This is a big deal for the project, adding both stability and improved
throughput of CI for the community.

A very big thank you to NetApp, and to all our contributors employed there
to help make this happen.

I am thrilled to see this!

Huge thanks to INFRA team who made this possible and deployed / integrated all 
new machines into the existing CI infrastructure and everybody involved in this 
effort.

The nodes were donated under 3-years NetApp Targeted Sponsorship

As an exclusive user of ci-cassandra.a.o I'm very grateful for this
donation. 🙏

I never got circle-ci to work on my machine 🥲😉

Thanks all for making this happen!

100% a hold over from thrift - I don't remember who i was discussing this
with ages ago, but there was definitely some question about whether it
would bite us eventually.
