We've been seeing a lot of sporadic test failures with "Cannot assign
requested address" lately. Add some debug information to help us find
the cause:
- When server startup fails, print "netstat -tnlap" output to the test
log. If the failure was caused by "Cannot assign requested address",
this will hopefully tell us which process was occupying the port.
- In pageserver and safekeeper startup, print its PID. This way, we can
correlate the PID from netstat output with the test that launched it.
- In safekeeper startup, print the HTTP port it's using to the log, in
addition to the libpq port. The pageserver was already doing it.
I'm not a fan of "Paused", for two reasons:
- Paused implies that the tenant/timeline with no activity on it. That's
not true; the tenant/timeline can still have active tasks working on it.
- Paused implies that it can be resumed later. It can not. A tenant or
timeline in this state cannot be switched back to Active state anymore.
A completely new Tenant or Timeline struct can be constructed for the
same tenant or timeline later, e.g. if you detach and later re-attach
the same tenant, but that's a different thing.
Stopping describes the state better. I also considered "ShuttingDown",
but Stopping is simpler as it's a single word.
The code in this change was extracted from PR #2595, i.e., Heikki’s draft
PR for on-demand download.

===============================================================================
storage_sync module rewrite
===========================
The storage_sync code is rewritten. New module name is storage_sync2, mostly to
make a more reasonable git diff.
The updated block comment in storage_sync2.rs describes the changes quite well,
so, we will not reproduce that comment here. TL;DR:
- Global sync queue and RemoteIndex are replaced with per-timeline
`RemoteTimelineClient` structure that contains a queue for UploadOperations
to ensure proper ordering and necessary metadata.
- Before deleting local layer files, wait for ongoing UploadOps to finish
(wait_completion()).
- Download operations are not queued and executed immediately.
Changes to Tenant Loading
=========================
Initial sync part was rewritten as well and represents the other major change
that serves as a foundation for on-demand downloads. Routines for attaching and
loading shifted directly to Tenant struct and now are asynchronous and spawned
into the background.
Since this patch doesn’t introduce on-demand download of layers we fully
synchronize with the remote during pageserver startup. See details in
`Timeline::reconcile_with_remote` and `Timeline::download_missing`.
Changes to Tenant States
========================
The “Active” state has lost its “background_jobs_running: bool” member. That
variable indicated whether the GC & Compaction background loops are spawned or
not. With this patch, they are now always spawned. Unit tests (#[test]) use the
TenantConf::{gc_period,compaction_period} to disable their effect (15db566).
This patch introduces a new tenant state, “Attaching”. A tenant that is being
attached starts in this state and transitions to “Active” once it finishes
download.
The `GET /tenant` endpoints returns `TenantInfo::has_in_progress_downloads`. We
derive the value for that field from the tenant state now, to remain
backwards-compatible with cloud.git. We will remove that field when we switch
to on-demand downloads.
Changes to Timeline States
==========================
The TimelineInfo::awaits_download field is now equivalent to the tenant being
in Attaching state. Previously, download progress was tracked per timeline.
With this change, it’s only tracked per tenant. When on-demand downloads
arrive, the field will be completely obsolete. Deprecation is tracked in
isuse #2930.
Crash-safe & Resumable Tenant Attach
====================================
Previously, the attach operation was not persistent. I.e., when tenant attach
was interrupted by a crash, the pageserver would not continue attaching after
pageserver restart. In fact, the half-finished tenant directory on disk would
simply be skipped by tenant_mgr because it lacked the metadata file (it’s
written last). This patch introduces an “attaching” marker file inside that is
present inside the tenant directory while the tenant is attaching. During
pageserver startup, tenant_mgr will resume attach if that file is present. If
not, it assumes that the local tenant state is consistent and tries to load the
tenant. If that fails, the tenant transitions into Broken state.
Change the default region for staging from `us-east-1` to `us-east-2`
for project creation.
Remove REGION_ID from `neon-branch-create` since we don't use it.
Nothing interesting in these changes. Passing through the
RUST_BACKTRACE=full will hopefully save someone else panick reproduction
time.

Sometimes CI build fails with
error: couldn't read storage_broker/src/../proto/storage_broker.rs: No such file or directory (os error 2)
--> storage_broker/src/lib.rs:14:5

The root cause is not clear, but it looks like interference with cachepot. Per
cargo docs, build scripts shouldn't output to anywhere but OUT_DIR; let's follow
this and see if it helps.
When a new root timeline is created, we want to flush all the data to
disk before we return success to the caller. We were using
checkpoint(CheckpointConfig::Forced) for that, but that also performs
compaction. With the default settings, compaction will have no work
after we have imported an empty database, as the image of that is too
small to require compaction. However, with very small
checkpoint_distance and compaction_target_size, compaction will run, and
it can take a while.
PR #2785 adds new tests that use very small checkpoint_distance and
compaction_target_size settings, and the test sometimes failed with
"operation timed out" error in the client, when the create_timeline step
took too long.
Add ClickBench benchmark, an OLAP-style benchmark, to Nightly
Benchmarks.
The full run of 43 queries on the original dataset takes more than 6h
(only 34 queries got processed on in 6h) on our default-sized compute.
Having this, currently, would mean having some really unstable tests
because of our regular deployment to staging/captest environment (see
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/1872).
I've reduced the dataset size to the first 10^7 rows from the original
10^8 rows. Now it takes ~30-40 minutes to pass.

Add `neon-branch-create` / `neon-branch-delete` to allow using branches
in tests.
I have a couple of use cases in mind:
- For destructive tests with a big DB, we can create the DB once in
advance and then use branches without the need to recreate the DB itself
after tests change it.
- We can run tests in parallel (if there're compute-bound).
Also migrate API v2 for `neon-project-create` / `neon-project-delete`
Many python tests were setting the GC/compaction period to large
values, to effectively disable GC / compaction. Reserve value 0 to
mean "explicitly disabled". We also set them to 0 in unit tests now,
although currently, unit tests don't launch the background jobs at
all, so it won't have any effect.
Fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/2917
Fix `test_seqscans` by disabling statement timeout.
Also, replace increasing statement timeout with disabling it for
performance tests. This should make tests more stable and allow us to
observe performance degradation instead of test failures.
**NB**: this PR doesn't update Python to 3.11; it makes tests
compatible with it and fixes a couple of warnings by updating
dependencies.
- `poetry add asyncpg@latest` to fix `./scripts/pysync`
- `poetry add boto3@latest "boto3-stubs[s3]@latest"` to fix
```
DeprecationWarning: 'cgi' is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.13
```
- `poetry update certifi` to fix
```
DeprecationWarning: path is deprecated. Use files() instead. Refer to https://importlib-resources.readthedocs.io/en/latest/using.html#migrating-from-legacy for migration advice.
```
- Move `types-toml` from `dep-dependencies` to `dependencies` to keep it
aligned with other `types-*` deps
* Fix https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/1854
* Never log Safekeeper::conninfo in walproposer as it now contains a secret token
* control_panel, test_runner: generate and pass JWT tokens for Safekeeper to compute and pageserver
* Compute: load JWT token for Safekepeer from the environment variable. Do not reuse the token from
pageserver_connstring because it's embedded in there weirdly.
* Pageserver: load JWT token for Safekeeper from the environment variable.
* Rewrite docs/authentication.md
There will be different scopes for those two, so authorization code should be different.
The `check_permission` function is now not in the shared library. Its implementation
is very similar to the one which will be added for Safekeeper. In fact, we may reuse
the same existing root-like 'PageServerApi' scope, but I would prefer to have separate
root-like scopes for services.
Also, generate_management_token in tests is generate_pageserver_token now.
Downsides are:
* We store all components of the config separately. `Url` stores them inside a single
`String` and a bunch of ints which point to different parts of the URL, which is
probably more efficient.
* It is now impossible to pass arbitrary connection strings to the configuration file,
one has to support all components explicitly. However, we never supported anything
except for `host:port` anyway.
Upsides are:
* This significantly restricts the space of possible connection strings, some of which
may be either invalid or unsupported. E.g. Postgres' connection strings may include
a bunch of parameters as query (e.g. `connect_timeout=`, `options=`). These are nether
validated by the current implementation, nor passed to the postgres client library,
Hence, storing separate fields expresses the intention better.
* The same connection configuration may be represented as a URL in multiple ways
(e.g. either `password=` in the query part or a standard URL password).
Now we have a single canonical way.
* Escaping is provided for `options=`.
Other possibilities considered:
* `newtype` with a `String` inside and some validation on creation.
This is more efficient, but harder to log for two reasons:
* Passwords should never end up in logs, so we have to somehow
* Escaped `options=` are harder to read, especially if URL-encoded,
and we use `options=` a lot.
Which ought to replace etcd. This patch only adds the binary and adjusts
Dockerfile to include it; subsequent ones will add deploy of helm chart and the
actual replacement.
It is a simple and fast pub-sub message bus. In this patch only safekeeper
message is supported, but others can be easily added.
Compilation now requires protoc to be installed. Installing protobuf-compiler
package is fine for Debian/Ubuntu.

Imagine that you have a tenant with a single branch like this:
---------------==========>
^
gc horizon
where:
---- is the portion of the branch that is older than retention period
==== is the portion of the branch that is newer than retention period.
Before this commit, the sizing model included the logical size at the
GC horizon, but not the WAL after that. In particular, that meant that
on a newly created tenant with just one timeline, where the retention
period covered the whole history of the timeline, i.e. gc_cutoff was 0,
the calculated tenant size was always zero.
We now include the WAL after the GC horizon in the size. So in the
above example, the calculated tenant size would be the logical size
of the database the GC horizon, plus all the WAL after it (marked with
===).
This adds a new `insert_point` function to the sizing model, alongside
`modify_branch`, and changes the code in size.rs to use the new
function. The new function takes an absolute lsn and logical size as
argument, so we no longer need to calculate the difference to the
previous point. Also, the end-size is now optional, because we now
need to add a point to represent the end of each branch to the model,
but we don't want to or need to calculate the logical size at that
point.
