## Problem
Spun off from https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6394 -- this PR
is just the persistence parts and the changes that enable it to work
nicely
## Summary of changes
- Revert #6444 and #6450
- In neon_local, start a vanilla postgres instance for the attachment
service to use.
- Adopt `diesel` crate for database access in attachment service. This
uses raw SQL migrations as the source of truth for the schema, so it's a
soft dependency: we can switch libraries pretty easily.
- Rewrite persistence.rs to use postgres (via diesel) instead of JSON.
- Preserve JSON read+write at startup and shutdown: this enables using
the JSON format in compatibility tests, so that we don't have to commit
to our DB schema yet.
- In neon_local, run database creation + migrations before starting
attachment service
- Run the initial reconciliation in Service::spawn in the background, so
that the pageserver + attachment service don't get stuck waiting for
each other to start, when restarting both together in a test.
In the most straightforward way; safekeeper performs it in DELETE endpoint
implementation, with no coordination between sks.
delete_force endpoint in the code is renamed to delete as there is only one way
to delete.
## Problem
To test sharding, we need something to control it. We could write python
code for doing this from the test runner, but this wouldn't be usable
with neon_local run directly, and when we want to write tests with large
number of shards/tenants, Rust is a better fit efficiently handling all
the required state.
This service enables automated tests to easily get a system with
sharding/HA without the test itself having to set this all up by hand:
existing tests can be run against sharded tenants just by setting a
shard count when creating the tenant.
## Summary of changes
Attachment service was previously a map of TenantId->TenantState, where
the principal state stored for each tenant was the generation and the
last attached pageserver. This enabled it to serve the re-attach and
validate requests that the pageserver requires.
In this PR, the scope of the service is extended substantially to do
overall management of tenants in the pageserver, including
tenant/timeline creation, live migration, evacuation of offline
pageservers etc. This is done using synchronous code to make declarative
changes to the tenant's intended state (`TenantState.policy` and
`TenantState.intent`), which are then translated into calls into the
pageserver by the `Reconciler`.
Top level summary of modules within
`control_plane/attachment_service/src`:
- `tenant_state`: structure that represents one tenant shard.
- `service`: implements the main high level such as tenant/timeline
creation, marking a node offline, etc.
- `scheduler`: for operations that need to pick a pageserver for a
tenant, construct a scheduler and call into it.
- `compute_hook`: receive notifications when a tenant shard is attached
somewhere new. Once we have locations for all the shards in a tenant,
emit an update to postgres configuration via the neon_local `LocalEnv`.
- `http`: HTTP stubs. These mostly map to methods on `Service`, but are
separated for readability and so that it'll be easier to adapt if/when
we switch to another RPC layer.
- `node`: structure that describes a pageserver node. The most important
attribute of a node is its availability: marking a node offline causes
tenant shards to reschedule away from it.
This PR is a precursor to implementing the full sharding service for
prod (#6342). What's the difference between this and a production-ready
controller for pageservers?
- JSON file persistence to be replaced with a database
- Limited observability.
- No concurrency limits. Marking a pageserver offline will try and
migrate every tenant to a new pageserver concurrently, even if there are
thousands.
- Very simple scheduler that only knows to pick the pageserver with
fewest tenants, and place secondary locations on a different pageserver
than attached locations: it does not try to place shards for the same
tenant on different pageservers. This matters little in tests, because
picking the least-used pageserver usually results in round-robin
placement.
- Scheduler state is rebuilt exhaustively for each operation that
requires a scheduler.
- Relies on neon_local mechanisms for updating postgres: in production
this would be something that flows through the real control plane.

This is a lightweight change to keep the scrubber providing sensible
output when using sharding.
- The timeline count was wrong when using sharding
- When checking for tenant existence, we didn't re-use results between
different shards in the same tenant
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/5929
This is a precursor to:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6185
While that PR contains big changes to neon_local and attachment_service,
this PR contains a few unrelated standalone changes generated while
working on that branch:
- Fix restarting a pageserver when it contains multiple shards for the
same tenant
- When using location_config api to attach a tenant, create its
timelines dir
- Update test paths where generations were previously optional to make
them always-on: this avoids tests having to spuriously assert that
attachment_service is not None in order to make the linter happy.
- Add a TenantShardId python implementation for subsequent use in test
helpers that will be made shard-aware
- Teach scrubber to read across shards when checking for layer
existence: this is a refactor to track the list of existent layers at
tenant-level rather than locally to each timeline. This is a precursor
to testing shard splitting.
These tests have been loitering on a branch of mine for a while: they
already provide value even without all the secondary mode bits landed
yet, and the Workload helper is handy for other tests too.
- `Workload` is a re-usable test workload that replaces some of the
arbitrary "write a few rows" SQL that I've found my self repeating, and
adds a systematic way to append data and check that reads properly
reflect the changes. This append+validate stuff is important when doing
migrations, as we want to detect situations where we might be reading
from a pageserver that has not properly seen latest changes.
- test_multi_attach is a validation of how the pageserver handles
attaching the same tenant to multiple pageservers, from a safety point
of view. This is intentionally separate from the larger testing of
migration, to provide an isolated environment for multi-attachment.
- test_location_conf_churn is a pseudo-random walk through the various
states that TenantSlot can be put into, with validation that attached
tenants remain externally readable when they should, and as a side
effect validating that the compute endpoint's online configuration
changes work as expected.
- test_live_migration is the reference implementation of how to drive a
pair of pageservers through a zero-downtime migration of a tenant.

## Problem
This test could fail if timing is unlucky, and the deletions in the test
land in two deletion lists instead of one.
## Summary of changes
We await _some_ validations instead of _all_ validations, because our
execution failpoint
will prevent validation proceeding for any but the first DeletionList.
Usually the workload
just generates one, but if it generates two due to timing, then we must
not expect that the
second one will be validated.
## Problem
The scrubber didn't know how to find the latest index_part when
generations were in use.
## Summary of changes
- Teach the scrubber to do the same dance that pageserver does when
finding the latest index_part.json
- Teach the scrubber how to understand layer files with generation
suffixes.
- General improvement to testability: scan_metadata has a machine
readable output that the testing `S3Scrubber` wrapper can read.
- Existing test coverage of scrubber was false-passing because it just
didn't see any data due to prefixing of data in the bucket. Fix that.
This is incremental improvement: the more confidence we can have in the
scrubber, the more we can use it in integration tests to validate the
state of remote storage.

This test is listing files in a timeline and then evicting them: if the
test ran slowly this could encounter temp files for unfinished
downloads: fix by filtering these out in evict_all_layers.
## Problem
Bug was introduced by me in 83ae2bd82c
When eviction constructs a RemoteLayer to replace the layer it just
evicted, it is building a LayerFileMetadata using its _current_
generation, rather than the generation of the layer.
## Summary of changes
- Retrieve Generation from RemoteTimelineClient when evicting. This will
no longer be necessary when #4938 lands.
- Add a test for the scenario in question (this fails without the fix).
## Problem
Seen in CI for https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/5453 -- the
time gap between validation completing and the header getting written is
long enough to fail the test, where it was doing a cheeky 1 second
sleep.
## Summary of changes
- Replace 1 second sleep with a wait_until to see the header file get
written
- Use enums as test params to make the results more readable (instead of
True-False parameters)
- Fix the temp suffix used for deletion queue headers: this worked fine,
but resulted in `..tmp` extension.
## Problem
Pageservers with `control_plane_api` configured require a control plane
to start up: in an incident this might be a problem.
## Summary of changes
Note to reviewers: most of the code churn in mgr.rs is the refactor
commit that enables the later emergency mode commit: you may want to
review commits separately.
- Add `control_plane_emergency_mode` configuration property
- Refactor init_tenant_mgr to separate loading configurations from the
main loop where we construct Tenant, so that the generations fetch can
peek at the configs in emergency mode.
- During startup, in emergency mode, attach any tenants that were
attached on their last run, using the same generation number.
Closes: #5381
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/5492
## Problem
This test was unstable when run in parallel with lots of others: if the
pageserver stayed up long enough for some of the deletions to get
validated, they won't be discarded on restart the way the test expects
when keep_attachment=True. This was a test bug, not a pageserver bug.
## Summary of changes
- Add failpoints to control plane api client
- Use failpoint to pause validation in the test to cover the case where
it had been flaky
- Add a metric for the number of deleted keys validated
- Add a permutation to the test to additionally exercise the case where
we _do_ validate lists before restart: this is a coverage enhancement
that seemed sensible when realizing that the test was relying on nothing
being validated before restart.
- the test will now always enter the restart with nothing or everything
validated.
## Problem
Pageservers must not delete objects or advertise updates to
remote_consistent_lsn without checking that they hold the latest
generation for the tenant in question (see [the RFC](
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/blob/main/docs/rfcs/025-generation-numbers.md))
In this PR:
- A new "deletion queue" subsystem is introduced, through which
deletions flow
- `RemoteTimelineClient` is modified to send deletions through the
deletion queue:
- For GC & compaction, deletions flow through the full generation
verifying process
- For timeline deletions, deletions take a fast path that bypasses
generation verification
- The `last_uploaded_consistent_lsn` value in `UploadQueue` is replaced
with a mechanism that maintains a "projected" lsn (equivalent to the
previous property), and a "visible" LSN (which is the one that we may
share with safekeepers).
- Until `control_plane_api` is set, all deletions skip generation
validation
- Tests are introduced for the new functionality in
`test_pageserver_generations.py`
Once this lands, if a pageserver is configured with the
`control_plane_api` configuration added in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/5163, it becomes safe to
attach a tenant to multiple pageservers concurrently.
