Timing updated for Cassandra session change thread lock
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
An issue with unresponsive nodes was traced to the method used for notifications about Cassandra session changes. A thread trying to obtain a Cassandra session acquired a read lock, then if it then determined that a new session had to be created it would also acquire a write lock, preventing other nodes from trying to acquire the session. After creating a session, the thread notified all session change listeners while holding the write lock, causing deadlock with dependent services. To resolve this, the timing has been updated by moving the session change notification to the listeners outside of the section guarded by the lock.

Updated COUNT logic for strategies with ssavm set to true
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
An error was seen when attempting to save a strategy after setting ssavm to true, indicating an issue in the “COUNT” method in Group By shape. Since the source field is not used and does not need to be evaluated here, the system has been updated to ignore the source field if the operation is COUNT.
