## Problem
We don't notify cplane about safekeeper membership change yet. Without
the notification the compute needs to know all the safekeepers on the
cluster to be able to speak to them. Change notifications will allow to
avoid it.
- Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/12188
## Summary of changes
- Implement `notify_safekeepers` method in `ComputeHook`
- Notify cplane about safekeepers in `safekeeper_migrate` handler.
- Update the test to make sure notifications work.
## Out of scope
- There is `cplane_notified_generation` field in `timelines` table in
strocon's database. It's not needed now, so it's not updated in the PR.
Probably we can remove it.
- e2e tests to make sure it works with a production cplane
## Problem
Some of the design decisions in PR #12256 were influenced by the
requirements of consistency tests. These decisions introduced
intermediate logic that is no longer needed and should be cleaned up.
## Summary of Changes
- Remove the `feature("testing")` flag related to
`kick_secondary_download`.
- Set the default value of `kick_secondary_download` back to false,
reflecting the intended production behavior.

Add a new 'pageserver_connection_info' field in the compute spec. It
replaces the old 'pageserver_connstring' field with a more complicated
struct that includes both libpq and grpc URLs, for each shard (or only
one of the the URLs, depending on the configuration). It also includes
a flag suggesting which one to use; compute_ctl now uses it to decide
which protocol to use for the basebackup.
This is compatible with everything that's in production, because the
control plane never used the 'pageserver_connstring' field. That was
added a long time ago with the idea that it would replace the code
that digs the 'neon.pageserver_connstring' GUC from the list of
Postgres settings, but we never got around to do that in the control
plane. Hence, it was only used with neon_local. But the plan now is to
pass the 'pageserver_connection_info' from the control plane, and once
that's fully deployed everywhere, the code to parse
'neon.pageserver_connstring' in compute_ctl can be removed.
The 'grpc' flag on an endpoint in endpoint config is now more of a
suggestion. Compute_ctl gets both URLs, so it can choose to use libpq
or grpc as it wishes. It currently always obeys the 'prefer_grpc' flag
that's part of the connection info though. Postgres however uses grpc
iff the new rust-based communicator is enabled.
TODO/plan for the control plane:
- Start to pass `pageserver_connection_info` in the spec file.
- Also keep the current `neon.pageserver_connstring` setting for now,
for backwards compatibility with old computes
After that, the `pageserver_connection_info.prefer_grpc` flag in the
spec file can be used to control whether compute_ctl uses grpc or
libpq. The actual compute's grpc usage will be controlled by the
`neon.enable_new_communicator` GUC. It can be set separately from
'prefer_grpc'.
Later:
- Once all old computes are gone, remove the code to pass
`neon.pageserver_connstring`
We don't have cancellation support for timeline deletions. In other
words, timeline deletion might still go on in an older generation while
we are attaching it in a newer generation already, because the
cancellation simply hasn't reached the deletion code.
This has caused us to hit a situation with offloaded timelines in which
the timeline was in an unrecoverable state: always returning an accepted
response, but never a 404 like it should be.
The detailed description can be found in
[here](https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/30406#issuecomment-3008667859)
(private repo link).
TLDR:
1. we ask to delete timeline on old pageserver/generation, starts
process in background
2. the storcon migrates the tenant to a different pageserver.
- during attach, the pageserver still finds an index part, so it adds it
to `offloaded_timelines`
4. the timeline deletion finishes, removing the index part in S3
5. there is a retry of the timeline deletion endpoint, sent to the new
pageserver location. it is bound to fail however:
- as the index part is gone, we print `Timeline already deleted in
remote storage`.
- the problem is that we then return an accepted response code, and not
a 404.
- this confuses the code calling us. it thinks the timeline is not
deleted, so keeps retrying.
- this state never gets recovered from until a reset/detach, because of
the `offloaded_timelines` entry staying there.
This is where this PR fixes things: if no index part can be found, we
can safely assume that the timeline is gone in S3 (it's the last thing
to be deleted), so we can remove it from `offloaded_timelines` and
trigger a reupload of the manifest. Subsequent retries will pick that
up.
Why not improve the cancellation support? It is a more disruptive code
change, that might have its own risks. So we don't do it for now.
Fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/30406
Make the safekeeper `pull_timeline` endpoint support timelines that
haven't had any writes yet. In the storcon managed sk timelines world,
if a safekeeper goes down temporarily, the storcon will schedule a
`pull_timeline` call. There is no guarantee however that by when the
safekeeper is online again, there have been writes to the timeline yet.
The `snapshot` endpoint gives an error if the timeline hasn't had
writes, so we avoid calling it if `timeline_start_lsn` indicates a
freshly created timeline.
Fixes#11422
Part of #11670
In `test_layer_download_cancelled_by_config_location`, we simulate hung
downloads via the `before-downloading-layer-stream-pausable` failpoint.
Then, we cancel a timeline via the `location_config` endpoint.
With the new default as of
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11712, we would be creating
the timeline on safekeepers regardless if there have been writes or not,
and it turns out the test relied on the timeline not existing on
safekeepers, due to a cancellation bug:
* as established before, the test makes the read path hang
* the timeline cancellation function first cancels the walreceiver, and
only then cancels the timeline's token
* `WalIngest::new` is requesting a checkpoint, which hits the read path
* at cancellation time, we'd be hanging inside the read, not seeing the
cancellation of the walreceiver
* the test would time out due to the hang
This is probably also reproducible in the wild when there is S3
unavailabilies or bottlenecks. So we thought that it's worthwhile to fix
the hang issue. The approach chosen in the end involves the
`tokio::select` macro.
In PR 11712, we originally punted on the test due to the hang and opted
it out from the new default, but now we can use the new default.

pgaudit can spam logs due to all the monitoring that we do. Logs from
these connections are not necessary for HIPPA compliance, so we can stop
logging from those connections.

This makes it possible for the compiler to validate that a match block
matched all PostgreSQL versions we support.
## Problem
We did not have a complete picture about which places we had to test
against PG versions, and what format these versions were: The full PG
version ID format (Major/minor/bugfix `MMmmbb`) as transfered in
protocol messages, or only the Major release version (`MM`). This meant
type confusion was rampant.
With this change, it becomes easier to develop new version-dependent
features, by making type and niche confusion impossible.
## Summary of changes
Every use of `pg_version` is now typed as either `PgVersionId` (u32,
valued in decimal `MMmmbb`) or PgMajorVersion (an enum, with a value for
every major version we support, serialized and stored like a u32 with
the value of that major version)

## Problem
`Attached(0)` tenant migrations can get stuck if the heatmap file has
not been uploaded.
## Summary of Changes
- Added a test to reproduce the issue.
- Introduced a `kick_secondary_downloads` config flag:
- Enabled in testing environments.
- Disabled in production (and in the new test).
- Updated `Attached(0)` locations to consider the number of secondaries
in their intent when deciding whether to download the heatmap.
## Problem
Part of #11813
## Summary of changes
Add a test API to make it easier to manipulate the feature flags within
tests.

The `--gzip-probability` parameter was removed in #12250. However,
`test_basebackup_with_high_slru_count` still uses it, and keeps failing.
This patch removes the use of the parameter (gzip is enabled by
default).
Enable it across tests and set it as default. Marks the first milestone
of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9114. We already enabled
it in all AWS regions and planning to enable it in all Azure regions
next week.
will merge after we roll out in all regions.

## Problem
`test_runner` integration tests should support gRPC.
Touches #11926.
## Summary of changes
* Enable gRPC for Pageservers, with dynamic port allocations.
* Add a `grpc` parameter for endpoint creation, plumbed through to
`neon_local endpoint create`.
No tests actually use gRPC yet, since computes don't support it yet.
## Problem
`test_sharding_failures` is flaky due to interference from the
`background_reconcile` process.
The details are in the issue
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/12029.
## Summary of changes
- Use `reconcile_until_idle` to ensure a stable state before running
test assertions
- Added error tolerance in `reconcile_until_idle` test function (Failure
cases: 1, 3, 19, 20)
- Ignore the `Keeping extra secondaries` warning message since it i
retryable (Failure case: 2)
- Deduplicated code in `assert_rolled_back` and `assert_split_done`
- Added a log message before printing plenty of Node `X` seen on
pageserver `Y`
## Problem
- We run the large tenant oltp workload with a fixed size (larger than
existing customers' workloads).
Our customer's workloads are continuously growing and our testing should
stay ahead of the customers' production workloads.
- we want to touch all tables in the tenant's database (updates) so that
we simulate a continuous change in layer files like in a real production
workload
- our current oltp benchmark uses a mixture of read and write
transactions, however we also want a separate test run with read-only
transactions only
## Summary of changes
- modify the existing workload to have a separate run with pgbench
custom scripts that are read-only
- create a new workload that
- grows all large tables in each run (for the reuse branch in the large
oltp tenant's project)
- updates a percentage of rows in all large tables in each run (to
enforce table bloat and auto-vacuum runs and layer rebuild in
pageservers
Each run of the new workflow increases the logical database size about
16 GB.
We start with 6 runs per day which will give us about 96-100 GB growth
per day.

seconds before returning from `terminate`.
- Add `TerminateMode` to `ComputeStatus::TerminationPending`
- Use `/terminate?mode=immediate` in `neon_local` instead of `pg_ctl
stop` for `test_replica_promotes`.
- Change `test_replica_promotes` to check returned LSN
- Annotate `finish_sync_safekeepers` as `noreturn`.

This check API only cheks the safekeeper_connstrings at the moment, and
the validation is limited to checking we have at least one entry in
there, and no duplicates.
## Problem
If the compute_ctl service is started with an empty list of safekeepers,
then hard-to-debug errors may happen at runtime, where it would be much
easier to catch them early.
## Summary of changes
Add an entry point in the compute_ctl API to validate the configuration
for safekeeper_connstrings.

## Problem
Compatibility tests may be run against a compatibility snapshot
generated with --timelines-onto-safekeepers=false. We need to start the
compute without a generation (or with 0 generation) if the timeline is
not storcon-managed, otherwise the compute will hang.
- Follow up on https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/12203
- Relates to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11712
## Summary of changes
- Handle compatibility snapshot generated with no
`--timelines-onot-safekeepers` properly
## Problem
The cache was introduced as a hackathon project and the only supported
limit was the number of entries.
The basebackup entry size may vary. We need to have more control over
disk space usage to ship it to production.
- Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/29353
## Summary of changes
- Store the size of entries in the cache and use it to limit
`max_total_size_bytes`
- Add the size of the cache in bytes to metrics.
## Problem
We don't test debug builds for v14..v16 in the regular "Build and Test"
runs to perform the testing faster, but it means we can't detect
assertion failures in those versions.
(See https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11891,
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11997)
## Summary of changes
Add a new workflow to test all build types and all versions on all
architectures.
## Problem
`test_historic_storage_formats` uses `/tenant_import` to import historic
data. Tenant import does not create timelines onto safekeepers, because
they might already exist on some safekeeper set. If it does, then we may
end up with two different quorums accepting WAL for the same timeline.
If the tenant import is used in a real deployment, the administrator is
responsible for looking for the proper safekeeper set and migrate
timelines into storcon-managed timelines.
- Relates to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11712
## Summary of changes
- Create timelines onto safekeepers manually after tenant import in
`test_historic_storage_formats`
- Add a note to tenant import that timelines will be not storcon-managed
after the import.
## Problem
The test creates an endpoint and deletes its tenant. The compute cannot
stop gracefully because it tries to write a checkpoint shutdown record
into the WAL, but the timeline had been already deleted from
safekeepers.
- Relates to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11712
## Summary of changes
Stop the compute before deleting a tenant
## Problem
Compatibility tests may be run against a compatibility snapshot
generated with `--timelines-onto-safekeepers=false`. We need to start
the compute without a generation (or with 0 generation) if the timeline
is not storcon-managed, otherwise the compute will hang.
This handler is needed to check if the timeline is storcon-managed.
It's also needed for better test coverage of safekeeper migration code.
- Relates to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11712
## Summary of changes
- Implement `tenant_timeline_locate` handler in storcon to get
safekeeper info from storcon's DB
## Problem
The project limits were not respected, resulting in errors.
## Summary of changes
Now limits are checked before running an action, and if the action is
not possible to run, another random action will be run.

## Problem
Looks like our sql-over-http tests get to rely on "trust"
authentication, so the path that made sure the authkeys data was set was
never being hit.
## Summary of changes
Slight refactor to WakeComputeBackends, as well as making sure auth keys
are propagated. Fix tests to ensure passwords are tested.
## Problem
If a shard split fails and must roll back, the tenant may hit a cold
start as the parent shard's files have already been removed from local
disk.
External contribution with minor adjustments, see
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C08TE3203RQ/p1748246398269309.
## Summary of changes
Keep the parent shard's files on local disk until the split has been
committed, such that they are available if the spilt is rolled back. If
all else fails, the files will be removed on the next Pageserver
restart.
This should also be fine in a mixed version:
* New storcon, old Pageserver: the Pageserver will delete the files
during the split, storcon will log an error when the cleanup detach
fails.
* Old storcon, new Pageserver: the Pageserver will leave the parent's
files around until the next Pageserver restart.
The change looks good to me, but shard splits are delicate so I'd like
some extra eyes on this.
We might delete timelines on safekeepers before we are deleting them on
pageservers. This should be an exceptional situation, but can occur. As
the first step to improve behaviour here, emit a special error that is
less scary/obscure than "was not found in global map".
It is for example emitted when the pageserver tries to run
`IDENTIFY_SYSTEM` on a timeline that has been deleted on the safekeeper.
Found when analyzing the failure of
`test_scrubber_physical_gc_timeline_deletion` when enabling
`--timelines-onto-safekeepers` on the pytests.
Due to safekeeper restarts, there is no hard guarantee that we will keep
issuing this error, so we need to think of something better if we start
encountering this in staging/prod. But I would say that the introduction
of `--timelines-onto-safekeepers` in the pytests and into staging won't
change much about this: we are already deleting timelines from there. In
`test_scrubber_physical_gc_timeline_deletion`, we'd just be leaking the
timeline before on the safekeepers.
