Always do timeline init through atomic rename of temp directory. Add
GlobalTimelines::load_temp_timeline which does this, and use it from
both pull_timeline and basic timeline creation. Fixes a collection
of issues:
- previously timeline creation didn't really flushed cfile to disk
due to 'nothing to do if state didn't change' check;
- even if it did, without tmp dir it is possible to lose the cfile
but leave timeline dir in place, making it look corrupted;
- tenant directory creation fsync was missing in timeline creation;
- pull_timeline is now protected from concurrent both itself and
timeline creation;
- now global timelines map entry got special CreationInProgress
entry type which prevents from anyone getting access to timeline
while it is being created (previously one could get access to it,
but it was locked during creation, which is valid but confusing if
creation failed).

Update hyper and tonic again in the storage broker, this time with a fix
for the issue that made us revert the update last time.
The first commit is a revert of #9268, the second a fix for the issue.
fixes#9231.
Fixes#9231 .
Upgrade hyper to 1.4.0 and use hyper 1.4 instead of 0.14 in the storage
broker, together with tonic 0.12. The two upgrades go hand in hand.
Thanks to the broker being independent from other components, we can
upgrade its hyper version without touching the other components, which
makes things easier.
## Problem
There is an unused safekeeper option `partial_backup_enabled`.
`partial_backup_enabled` was implemented in #6530, but this option was
always turned into enabled in #8022.
If you intended to keep this option for a specific reason, I will close
this PR.
## Summary of changes
I removed an unused safekeeper option `partial_backup_enabled`.
## Problem
- The condition for eviction is not time-based: it is possible for a
timeline to be restored in response to a client, that client times out,
and then as soon as the timeline is restored it is immediately evicted
again.
- There is no delay on eviction at startup of the safekeeper, so when it
starts up and sees many idle timelines, it does many evictions which
will likely be immediately restored when someone uses the timeline.
## Summary of changes
- Add `eviction_min_resident` parameter, and use it in
`ready_for_eviction` to avoid evictions if the timeline has been
resident for less than this period.
- This also implicitly delays evictions at startup for
`eviction_min_resident`
- Set this to a very low number for the existing eviction test, which
expects immediate eviction.
The default period is 15 minutes. The general reasoning for that is that
in the worst case where we thrash ~10k timelines on one safekeeper,
downloading 16MB for each one, we should set a period that would not
overwhelm the node's bandwidth.
Fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6337
Add safekeeper support to switch between `Present` and
`Offloaded(flush_lsn)` states. The offloading is disabled by default,
but can be controlled using new cmdline arguments:
```
--enable-offload
Enable automatic switching to offloaded state
--delete-offloaded-wal
Delete local WAL files after offloading. When disabled, they will be left on disk
--control-file-save-interval <CONTROL_FILE_SAVE_INTERVAL>
Pending updates to control file will be automatically saved after this interval [default: 300s]
```
Manager watches state updates and detects when there are no actvity on
the timeline and actual partial backup upload in remote storage. When
all conditions are met, the state can be switched to offloaded.
In `timeline.rs` there is `StateSK` enum to support switching between
states. When offloaded, code can access only control file structure and
cannot use `SafeKeeper` to accept new WAL.
`FullAccessTimeline` is now renamed to `WalResidentTimeline`. This
struct contains guard to notify manager about active tasks requiring
on-disk WAL access. All guards are issued by the manager, all requests
are sent via channel using `ManagerCtl`. When manager receives request
to issue a guard, it unevicts timeline if it's currently evicted.
Fixed a bug in partial WAL backup, it used `term` instead of
`last_log_term` previously.
After this commit is merged, next step is to roll this change out, as in
issue #6338.
- Make safekeeper read SAFEKEEPER_AUTH_TOKEN env variable with JWT
token to connect to other safekeepers.
- Set it in neon_local when auth is enabled.
- Create simple rust http client supporting it, and use it in pull_timeline
implementation.
- Enable auth in all pull_timeline tests.
- Make sk http_client() by default generate safekeeper wide token, it makes
easier enabling auth in all tests by default.
We had an incident where pageserver requests timed out because
pageserver couldn't fetch WAL from safekeepers. This incident was caused
by a bug in safekeeper logic for timeline activation, which prevented
pageserver from finding safekeepers.
This bug was since fixed, but there is still a chance of a similar bug
in the future due to overall complexity.
We add a new broker message to "signal interest" for timeline. This
signal will be sent by pageservers `wait_lsn`, and safekeepers will
receive this signal to start broadcasting broker messages. Then every
broker subscriber will be able to find the safekeepers and connect to
them (to start fetching WAL).
This feature is not limited to pageservers and any service that wants to
download WAL from safekeepers will be able to use this discovery
request.
This commit changes pageserver's connection_manager (walreceiver) to
send a SafekeeperDiscoveryRequest when there is no information about
safekeepers present in memory. Current implementation will send these
requests only if there is an active wait_lsn() call and no more often
than once per 10 seconds.
Add `test_broker_discovery` to test this: safekeepers started with
`--disable-periodic-broker-push` will not push info to broker so that
pageserver must use a discovery to start fetching WAL.
Add task_stats in safekeepers broker module to log a warning if there is
no message received from the broker for the last 10 seconds.
Closes#5471

Add support for backing up partial segments to remote storage. Disabled
by default, can be enabled with `--partial-backup-enabled`.
Safekeeper timeline has a background task which is subscribed to
`commit_lsn` and `flush_lsn` updates. After the partial segment was
updated (`flush_lsn` was changed), the segment will be uploaded to S3 in
about 15 minutes.
The filename format for partial segments is
`Segment_Term_Flush_Commit_skNN.partial`, where:
- `Segment` – the segment name, like `000000010000000000000001`
- `Term` – current term
- `Flush` – flush_lsn in hex format `{:016X}`, e.g. `00000000346BC568`
- `Commit` – commit_lsn in the same hex format
- `NN` – safekeeper_id, like `1`
The full object name example:
`000000010000000000000002_2_0000000002534868_0000000002534410_sk1.partial`
Each safekeeper will keep info about remote partial segments in its
control file. Code updates state in the control file before doing any S3
operations. This way control file stores information about all
potentially existing remote partial segments and can clean them up after
uploading a newer version.
Closes#6336
Add `--walsenders-keep-horizon` argument to safekeeper cmdline. It will
prevent deleting WAL segments from disk if they are needed by the active
START_REPLICATION connection.
This is useful for sharding. Without this option, if one of the shard
falls behind, it starts to read WAL from S3, which is much slower than
disk. This can result in huge shard lagging.
This PR contains the first version of a
[FoundationDB-like](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fFDFbi3toc)
simulation testing for safekeeper and walproposer.
### desim
This is a core "framework" for running determenistic simulation. It
operates on threads, allowing to test syncronous code (like walproposer).
`libs/desim/src/executor.rs` contains implementation of a determenistic
thread execution. This is achieved by blocking all threads, and each
time allowing only a single thread to make an execution step. All
executor's threads are blocked using `yield_me(after_ms)` function. This
function is called when a thread wants to sleep or wait for an external
notification (like blocking on a channel until it has a ready message).
`libs/desim/src/chan.rs` contains implementation of a channel (basic
sync primitive). It has unlimited capacity and any thread can push or
read messages to/from it.
`libs/desim/src/network.rs` has a very naive implementation of a network
(only reliable TCP-like connections are supported for now), that can
have arbitrary delays for each package and failure injections for
breaking connections with some probability.
`libs/desim/src/world.rs` ties everything together, to have a concept of
virtual nodes that can have network connections between them.
### walproposer_sim
Has everything to run walproposer and safekeepers in a simulation.
`safekeeper.rs` reimplements all necesary stuff from `receive_wal.rs`,
`send_wal.rs` and `timelines_global_map.rs`.
`walproposer_api.rs` implements all walproposer callback to use
simulation library.
`simulation.rs` defines a schedule – a set of events like `restart <sk>`
or `write_wal` that should happen at time `<ts>`. It also has code to
spawn walproposer/safekeeper threads and provide config to them.
### tests
`simple_test.rs` has tests that just start walproposer and 3 safekeepers
together in a simulation, and tests that they are not crashing right
away.
`misc_test.rs` has tests checking more advanced simulation cases, like
crashing or restarting threads, testing memory deallocation, etc.
`random_test.rs` is the main test, it checks thousands of random seeds
(schedules) for correctness. It roughly corresponds to running a real
python integration test in an environment with very unstable network and
cpu, but in a determenistic way (each seed results in the same execution
log) and much much faster.
Closes#547
