For whatever reason, pg17's WAL pattern seems different from others,
which triggers some flaky behavior within the compaction smoke test.
## Summary of changes
* Run L0 compaction before proceeding with the read benchmark.
* So that we can ensure the num of L0 layers is 0 and test the
compaction behavior only with L1 layers.
We have a threshold for triggering L0 compaction. In some cases, the
test case did not produce enough L0 layers to do a L0 compaction,
therefore leaving the layer map with 3+ L0 layers above the L1 layers.
This increases the average read depth for the timeline.

This PR:
* Implements the rule that archived timelines require all of their
children to be archived as well, as specified in the RFC. There is no
fancy locking mechanism though, so the precondition can still be broken.
As a TODO for later, we still allow unarchiving timelines with archived
parents.
* Adds an `is_archived` flag to `TimelineInfo`
* Adds timeline_archival_config to `PageserverHttpClient`
* Adds a new `test_timeline_archive` test, loosely based on
`test_timeline_delete`

## Problem
Migrations of tenant shards with cold secondaries are holding up drains
in during production deployments.
## Summary of changes
If a secondary locations is lagging by more than 256MiB (configurable,
but that's the default), then skip cutting it over to the secondary as part of the node drain.
Earlier I was thinking we'd need a (ancestor_lsn, timeline_id) ordered
list of reparented. Turns out we did not need it at all. Replace it with
an unordered hashset. Additionally refactor the reparented direct
children query out, it will later be used from more places.
Split off from #8430.
Cc: #6994
## Problem
Sometimes, a layer is Covered by hasn't yet been evicted from local disk
(e.g. shortly after image layer generation). It is not good use of
resources to download these to a secondary location, as there's a good
chance they will never be read.
This follows the previous change that added layer visibility:
- #8511
Part of epic:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8398
## Summary of changes
- When generating heatmaps, only include Visible layers
- Update test_secondary_downloads to filter to visible layers when
listing layers from an attached location
Currently, we do not have facilities to persistently block GC on a
tenant for whatever reason. We could do a tenant configuration update,
but that is risky for generation numbers and would also be transient.
Introduce a `gc_block` facility in the tenant, which manages per
timeline blocking reasons.
Additionally, add HTTP endpoints for enabling/disabling manual gc
blocking for a specific timeline. For debugging, individual tenant
status now includes a similar string representation logged when GC is
skipped.

Makes `flush_frozen_layer` add a barrier to the upload queue and makes
it wait for that barrier to be reached until it lets the flushing be
completed.
This gives us backpressure and ensures that writes can't build up in an
unbounded fashion.
Fixes#7317
## Problem
This test sometimes found that ancestors were getting cleaned up before
it had done any compaction.
Compaction was happening implicitly via Workload.
Example:
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-8298/10032173390/index.html#testresult/fb04786402f80822/retries
## Summary of changes
- Set upload=False when writing data after shard split, to avoid doing a
checkpoint
- Add a checkpoint_period & explicit wait for uploads so that we ensure
data lands in S3 without doing a checkpoint
This test reproduces the case of a writer creating a deep stack of L0
layers. It uses realistic layer sizes and writes several gigabytes of
data, therefore runs as a performance test although it is validating
memory footprint rather than performance per se.
It acts a regression test for two recent fixes:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8401
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8391
In future it will demonstrate the larger improvement of using a k-merge
iterator for L0 compaction (#8184)
This test can be extended to enforce limits on the memory consumption of
other housekeeping steps, by restarting the pageserver and then running
other things to do the same "how much did RSS increase" measurement.
As described in #8385, the likely source for flakiness in
test_tenant_creation_fails is the following sequence of events:
1. test instructs the storage controller to create the tenant
2. storage controller adds the tenant and persists it to the database.
issues a creation request
3. the pageserver restarts with the failpoint disabled
4. storage controller's background reconciliation still wants to create
the tenant
5. pageserver gets new request to create the tenant from background
reconciliation
This commit just avoids the storage controller entirely. It has its own
set of issues, as the re-attach request will obviously not include the
tenant, but it's still useful to test for non-existence of the tenant.
The generation is also not optional any more during tenant attachment.
If you omit it, the pageserver yields an error. We change the signature
of `tenant_attach` to reflect that.
Alternative to #8385Fixes#8266
Right now timeline detach ancestor reports an error (409, "no ancestor")
on a new attempt after successful completion. This makes it troublesome
for storage controller retries. Fix it to respond with `200 OK` as if
the operation had just completed quickly.
Additionally, the returned timeline identifiers in the 200 OK response
are now ordered so that responses between different nodes for error
comparison are done by the storage controller added in #8353.
Design-wise, this PR introduces a new strategy for accessing the latest
uploaded IndexPart:
`RemoteTimelineClient::initialized_upload_queue(&self) ->
Result<UploadQueueAccessor<'_>, NotInitialized>`. It should be a more
scalable way to query the latest uploaded `IndexPart` than to add a
query method for each question directly on `RemoteTimelineClient`.
GC blocking will need to be introduced to make the operation fully
idempotent. However, it is idempotent for the cases demonstrated by
tests.

## Problem
After the changes in #8084, we need synthetic size to also account for
leased LSNs so that users do not get free retention by running a small
ephemeral endpoint for a long time.
## Summary of changes
This PR integrates LSN leases into the synthetic size calculation. We
model leases as read-only branches started at the leased LSN (except it
does not have a timeline id).
Other changes:
- Add new unit tests testing whether a lease behaves like a read-only
branch.
- Change `/size_debug` response to include lease point in the SVG
visualization.
- Fix `/lsn_lease` HTTP API to do proper parsing for POST.

## Problem
For some time, we have created tenants with calls to location_conf. The

## Summary of changes

- Relocate TenantCreateRequest to the controller API file (this used to
be used in both pageserver and controller APIs)
- Rewrite tenant_create test helper to use location_config API, as

## Problem
These APIs have been deprecated for some time, but were still used from
test code.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4282
## Summary of changes
- It is still convenient to do a "tenant_attach" from a test without
having to write out a location_conf body, so those test methods have
been retained with implementations that call through to their
location_conf equivalent.
Part of #7497, closes#8072.
## Problem
Currently the `get_lsn_by_timestamp` and branch creation pageserver APIs do not provide a pleasant client experience where the looked-up LSN might be GC-ed between the two API calls.
This PR attempts to prevent common races between GC and branch creation by making use of LSN leases provided in #8084. A lease can be optionally granted to a looked-up LSN. With the lease, GC will not touch layers needed to reconstruct all pages at this LSN for the duration of the lease.

## Problem
These APIs have be unused for some time. They were superseded by
/location_conf: the equivalent of ignoring a tenant is now to put it in
secondary mode.
## Summary of changes
- Remove APIs
- Remove tests & helpers that used them
- Remove error variants that are no longer needed.
A simple API to collect some statistics after compaction to easily
understand the result.
The tool reads the layer map, and analyze range by range instead of
doing single-key operations, which is more efficient than doing a
benchmark to collect the result. It currently computes two key metrics:
* Latest data access efficiency, which finds how many delta layers /
image layers the system needs to iterate before returning any key in a
key range.
* (Approximate) PiTR efficiency, as in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7770, which is simply the
number of delta files in the range. The reason behind that is, assume no
image layer is created, PiTR efficiency is simply the cost of collect
records from the delta layers, and the replay time. Number of delta
files (or in the future, estimated size of reads) is a simple yet
efficient way of estimating how much effort the page server needs to
reconstruct a page.

## Problem
When a `get_lsn_by_timestamp` request is cancelled, an anyhow error is
exposed to handle that case, which verbosely logs the error. However, we
don't benefit from having the full backtrace provided by anyhow in this
case.
## Summary of changes
This PR introduces a new `ApiError` type to handle errors caused by
cancelled request more robustly.
- A new enum variant `ApiError::Cancelled`
- Currently the cancelled request is mapped to status code 500.
- Need to handle this error in proxy's `http_util` as well.
- Added a failpoint test to simulate cancelled `get_lsn_by_timestamp`
request.

detaching a timeline from its ancestor can leave the resulting timeline
with more L0 layers than the compaction threshold. most of the time, the
detached timeline has made progress, and next time the L0 -> L1
compaction happens near the original branch point and not near the
last_record_lsn.
add a test to ensure that inheriting the historical L0s does not change
fullbackup. additionally:
- add `wait_until_completed` to test-only timeline checkpoint and
compact HTTP endpoints. with `?wait_until_completed=true` the endpoints
will wait until the remote client has completed uploads.
- for delta layers, describe L0-ness with the `/layer` endpoint

## Problem
Currently tenants are only split into multiple shards if a human being
calls the API to do it.
Issue: #7388
## Summary of changes
- Add a pageserver API for returning the top tenants by size
- Add a step to the controller's background loop where if there is no
reconciliation or optimization to be done, it looks for things to split.
- Add a test that runs pgbench on many tenants concurrently, and checks
that splitting happens as expected as tenants grow, without interrupting
the client I/O.
This PR is quite basic: there is a tasklist in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7388 for further work. This
PR is meant to be safe (off by default), and sufficient to enable our
staging environment to run lots of sharded tenants without a human
having to set them up.
## Problem
Timelines cannot be deleted if they have children. In many production
cases, a branch or a timeline has been created off the main branch for
various reasons to the effect of having now a "new main" branch. This
feature will make it possible to detach a timeline from its ancestor by
inheriting all of the data before the branchpoint to the detached
timeline and by also reparenting all of the ancestor's earlier branches
to the detached timeline.
## Summary of changes
- Earlier added copy_lsn_prefix functionality is used
- RemoteTimelineClient learns to adopt layers by copying them from
another timeline
- LayerManager adds support for adding adopted layers
-
`timeline::Timeline::{prepare_to_detach,complete_detaching}_from_ancestor`
and `timeline::detach_ancestor` are added
- HTTP PUT handler

## Problem
(Follows https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7237)
Some API users will query a tenant to wait for it to activate.
Currently, we return the current status of the tenant, whatever that may
be. Under heavy load, a pageserver starting up might take a long time to
activate such a tenant.
## Summary of changes
- In `tenant_status` handler, call wait_to_become_active on the tenant.
If the tenant is currently waiting for activation, this causes it to
skip the queue, similiar to other API handlers that require an active
tenant, like timeline creation. This avoids external services waiting a
long time for activation when polling GET /v1/tenant/<id>.
## Problem
The existing secondary download API relied on the caller to wait as long
as it took to complete -- for large shards that could be a long time, so
typical clients that might have a baked-in ~30s timeout would have a
problem.
## Summary of changes
- Take a `wait_ms` query parameter to instruct the pageserver how long
to wait: if the download isn't complete in this duration, then 201 is
returned instead of 200.
- For both 200 and 201 responses, include response body describing
download progress, in terms of layers and bytes. This is sufficient for
the caller to track how much data is being transferred and log/present
that status.
- In storage controller live migrations, use this API to apply a much
longer outer timeout, with smaller individual per-request timeouts, and
log the progress of the downloads.
- Add a test that injects layer download delays to exercise the new
behavior
Switched the order; doing https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6139
first then can remove uninit marker after.
## Problem
Previously, existence of a timeline directory was treated as evidence of
the timeline's logical existence. That is no longer the case since we
treat remote storage as the source of truth on each startup: we can
therefore do without this mark file.
The mark file had also been used as a pseudo-lock to guard against
concurrent creations of the same TimelineId -- now that persistence is
no longer required, this is a bit unwieldy.
In #6139 the `Tenant::timelines_creating` was added to protect against
concurrent creations on the same TimelineId, making the uninit mark file
entirely redundant.
## Summary of changes
- Code that writes & reads mark file is removed
- Some nearby `pub` definitions are amended to `pub(crate)`
- `test_duplicate_creation` is added to demonstrate that mutual
exclusion of creations still works.
## Summary
- Currently we can set stripe size at tenant creation, but it doesn't
mean anything until we have multiple shards
- When onboarding an existing tenant, it will always get a default shard
stripe size, so we would like to be able to pick the actual stripe size
at the point we split.
## Why do this inline with a split?
The alternative to this change would be to have a separate endpoint on
the storage controller for setting the stripe size on a tenant, and only
permit writes to that endpoint when the tenant has only a single shard.
That would work, but be a little bit more work for a client, and not
appreciably simpler (instead of having a special argument to the split
functions, we'd have a special separate endpoint, and a requirement that
the controller must sync its config down to the pageserver before
calling the split API). Either approach would work, but this one feels a
bit more robust end-to-end: the split API is the _very last moment_ that
the stripe size is mutable, so if we aim to set it before splitting, it
makes sense to do it as part of the same operation.
Add off-by-default support for lazy queued tenant activation on attach.
This should be useful on bulk migrations as some tenants will be
activated faster due to operations or endpoint startup. Eventually all
tenants will get activated by reusing the same mechanism we have at
startup (`PageserverConf::concurrent_tenant_warmup`).
The difference to lazy attached tenants to startup ones is that we leave
their initial logical size calculation be triggered by WalReceiver or
consumption metrics.

# Problem
The failure in the last 3 flaky runs on `main` is
```
test_runner/regress/test_remote_storage.py:460: in test_remote_timeline_client_calls_started_metric
churn("a", "b")
test_runner/regress/test_remote_storage.py:457: in churn

E assert 0 > 0
```
That's this code
cd449d66ea/test_runner/regress/test_remote_storage.py (L448-L460)
So, the test expects GC to remove some layers but the GC doesn't.
# Fix
My impression is that the VACUUM isn't re-using pages aggressively
enough, but I can't really prove that. Tried to analyze the layer map
dump but it's too complex.
So, this PR:
- Creates more churn by doing the overwrite twice.
- Forces image layer creation.
It also drive-by removes the redundant call to timeline_compact,
because, timeline_checkpoint already does that internally.
- Add some context to logs
- Add tests for pageserver restarts when managed by storage controller
- Make /location_config tolerate compute hook failures on shard
creations, not just modifications.
The sharding service didn't have support for S3 disaster recovery.
This PR adds a new endpoint to the attachment service, which is slightly
different from the endpoint on the pageserver, in that it takes the
shard count history of the tenant as json parameters: we need to do
time travel recovery for both the shard count at the target time and the
shard count at the current moment in time, as well as the past shard
counts that either still reference.

# Problem

This makes root-cause analysis of latency spikes harder, requiring us to

```
which can be expensive when zooming out in Grafana.

# Solution / Changes
- Remove the calls_started histogram
- I did the dilegence, there are only 2 dashboards using this histogram,
and in fact only one uses it as a histogram, the other just as a
a counter.
- [Link
1](8115b54d9f/neonprod/dashboards/hkXNF7oVz/dashboard-Z31XmM24k.yaml (L1454)):
`Pageserver Thrashing` dashboard, linked from playbook, will fix.
- [Link
2](8115b54d9f/neonprod/dashboards/CEllzAO4z/dashboard-sJqfNFL4k.yaml (L599)):
one of my personal dashboards, unused for a long time, already broken in
other ways, no need to fix.
- replace `pageserver_remote_timeline_client_calls_unfinished` gauge
with a counter pair
- Required `Clone`-able `IntCounterPair`, made the necessary changes in
the `libs/metrics` crate
- fix tests to deal with the fallout
A subsequent PR will remove a timeline-scoped metric to compensate.
Note that we don't need additional global counters for the per-timeline
counters affected by this PR; we can use the `remote_storage` histogram
for those, which, conveniently, also include the secondary-mode
downloads, which aren't covered by the remote timeline client metrics
(should they?).
## Problem
When investigating test failures
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6813) I noticed we were
doing a bunch of Reconciler runs right after splitting a tenant.
It's because the splitting test does a pageserver restart, and there was
a bug in /re-attach handling, where we would update the generation
correctly in the database and intent state, but not observed state,
thereby triggering a reconciliation on the next call to maybe_reconcile.
This didn't break anything profound (underlying rules about generations
were respected), but caused the storage controller to do an un-needed
extra round of bumping the generation and reconciling.
## Summary of changes
- Start adding metrics to the storage controller
- Assert on the number of reconciles done in test_sharding_split_smoke
- Fix /re-attach to update `observed` such that we don't spuriously
re-reconcile tenants.
in `test_statvfs_pressure_{usage,min_avail_bytes}` we now race against
initial logical size calculation on-demand downloading the layers. first
wait out the initial logical sizes, then change the final asserts to be
"eventual", which is not great but it is faster than failing and
retrying.
this issue seems to happen only in debug mode tests.
Fixes: #6510
Adds an endpoint to the pageserver to S3-recover an entire tenant to a
specific given timestamp.
Required input parameters:
* `travel_to`: the target timestamp to recover the S3 state to
* `done_if_after`: a timestamp that marks the beginning of the recovery
process. retries of the query should keep this value constant. it *must*
be after `travel_to`, and also after any changes we want to revert, and
must represent a point in time before the endpoint is being called, all
of these time points in terms of the time source used by S3. these
criteria need to hold even in the face of clock differences, so I
recommend waiting a specific amount of time, then taking
`done_if_after`, then waiting some amount of time again, and only then
issuing the request.
Also important to note: the timestamps in S3 work at second accuracy, so
one needs to add generous waits before and after for the process to work
smoothly (at least 2-3 seconds).
We ignore the added test for the mocked S3 for now due to a limitation
in moto: https://github.com/getmoto/moto/issues/7300 .

## Problem
For #6423, creating a reproducer turned out to be very easy, as an
extension to test_ondemand_activation.
However, before I had diagnosed the issue, I was starting with a more
brute force approach of running creation API calls in the background
while restarting a pageserver, and that shows up a bunch of other
interesting issues.
In this PR:
- Add the reproducer for #6423 by extending `test_ondemand_activation`
(confirmed that this test fails if I revert the fix from
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6430)
- In timeline creation, return 503 responses when we get an error and
the tenant's cancellation token is set: this covers the cases where we
get an anyhow::Error from something during timeline creation as a result
of shutdown.
- While waiting for tenants to become active during creation, don't
.map_err() the result to a 500: instead let the `From` impl map the
result to something appropriate (this includes mapping shutdown to 503)
- During tenant creation, we were calling `Tenant::load_local` because
no Preload object is provided. This is usually harmless because the
tenant dir is empty, but if there are some half-created timelines in
there, bad things can happen. Propagate the SpawnMode into
Tenant::attach, so that it can properly skip _any_ attempt to load
timelines if creating.
- When we call upsert_location, there's a SpawnMode that tells us
whether to load from remote storage or not. But if the operation is a
retry and we already have the tenant, it is not correct to skip loading
from remote storage: there might be a timeline there. This isn't
strictly a correctness issue as long as the caller behaves correctly
(does not assume that any timelines are persistent until the creation is
acked), but it's a more defensive position.
- If we shut down while the task in Tenant::attach is running, it can
end up spawning rogue tasks. Fix this by holding a GateGuard through
here, and in upsert_location shutting down a tenant after calling
tenant_spawn if we can't insert it into tenants_map. This fixes the
expected behavior that after shutdown_all_tenants returns, no tenant
tasks are running.
- Add `test_create_churn_during_restart`, which runs tenant & timeline
creations across pageserver restarts.
- Update a couple of tests that covered cancellation, to reflect the
cleaner errors we now return.
## 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.

## Problem
Previously, `GET /v1/tenant/:tenant_id/timeline` and `GET
/v1/tenant/:tenant_id/timeline/:timeline_id`
would bump the priority of the background task which computes the
initial logical size by cancelling
the wait on the synchronisation semaphore. However, the request would
still return an approximate
logical size. It's undesirable to force background work for a status
request.
## Summary of changes
This PR updates the priority used by the timeline status request such
that they don't do priority boosting
by default anymore. An optional query parameter,
`force-await-initial-logical-size`, is added for both
mentioned endpoints. When set to true, it will skip the concurrency
limiting semaphore and wait
for the background task to complete before returning the exact logical
size.
In order to exercise this behaviour in a test I had to add an extra
failpoint. If you think it's too intrusive,
it can be removed.
Also fixeda small bug where the cancellation of a download is reported as an
opaque download failure upstream. This caused `test_location_conf_churn`
to fail at teardown due to a WARN log line.

## Problem
`black` is slow sometimes, we can replace it with `ruff format` (a new
feature in 0.1.2 [0]), which produces pretty similar to black style [1].
On my local machine (MacBook M1 Pro 16GB):
```
# `black` on main
$ hyperfine "BLACK_CACHE_DIR=/dev/null poetry run black ."
Benchmark 1: BLACK_CACHE_DIR=/dev/null poetry run black .
Time (mean ± σ): 3.131 s ± 0.090 s [User: 5.194 s, System: 0.859 s]
Range (min … max): 3.047 s … 3.354 s 10 runs
```
```
# `ruff format` on the current PR
$ hyperfine "RUFF_NO_CACHE=true poetry run ruff format"
Benchmark 1: RUFF_NO_CACHE=true poetry run ruff format
Time (mean ± σ): 300.7 ms ± 50.2 ms [User: 259.5 ms, System: 76.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 267.5 ms … 420.2 ms 10 runs
```

## Problem
Secondary mode tenants need a manifest of what to download. Ultimately
this will be some kind of heat-scored set of layers, but as a robust
first step we will simply use the set of resident layers: secondary
tenant locations will aim to match the on-disk content of the attached
location.
## Summary of changes
- Add heatmap types representing the remote structure
- Add hooks to Tenant/Timeline for generating these heatmaps
- Create a new `HeatmapUploader` type that is external to `Tenant`, and
responsible for walking the list of attached tenants and scheduling
heatmap uploads.
Notes to reviewers:
- Putting the logic for uploads (and later, secondary mode downloads)
outside of `Tenant` is an opinionated choice, motivated by:
- Enable future smarter scheduling of operations, e.g. uploading the
stalest tenant first, rather than having all tenants compete for a fair
semaphore on a first-come-first-served basis. Similarly for downloads,
we may wish to schedule the tenants with the hottest un-downloaded
layers first.
- Enable accessing upload-related state without synchronization (it
belongs to HeatmapUploader, rather than being some Mutex<>'d part of
Tenant)
- Avoid further expanding the scope of Tenant/Timeline types, which are
already among the largest in the codebase
- You might reasonably wonder how much of the uploader code could be a
generic job manager thing. Probably some of it: but let's defer pulling
that out until we have at least two users (perhaps secondary downloads
will be the second one) to highlight which bits are really generic.
Compromises:
- Later, instead of using digests of heatmaps to decide whether anything
changed, I would prefer to avoid walking the layers in tenants that
don't have changes: tracking that will be a bit invasive, as it needs
input from both remote_timeline_client and Layer.
