tests are based on self-hosted runner which is physically close
to our staging deployment in aws, currently tests consist of
various configurations of pgbenchi runs.
Also these changes rework benchmark fixture by removing globals and
allowing to collect reports with desired metrics and dump them to json
for further analysis. This is also applicable to usual performance tests
which use local zenith binaries.
Instead of having a lot of separate fixtures for setting up the page
server, the compute nodes, the safekeepers etc., have one big ZenithEnv
object that encapsulates the whole environment. Every test either uses
a shared "zenith_simple_env" fixture, which contains the default setup
of a pageserver with no authentication, and no safekeepers. Tests that
want to use safekeepers or authentication set up a custom test-specific
ZenithEnv fixture.
Gathering information about the whole environment into one object makes
some things simpler. For example, when a new compute node is created,
you no longer need to pass the 'wal_acceptors' connection string as
argument to the 'postgres.create_start' function. The 'create_start'
function fetches that information directly from the ZenithEnv object.
* Add yapf run to CircleCI
* Pin yapf version
* Enable `SPLIT_ALL_TOP_LEVEL_COMMA_SEPARATED_VALUES` setting
* Reformat all existing code with slight manual adjustments
* test_runner/README: note that yapf is forced
This is in preparation for supporting read-only nodes. You can launch
multiple read-only nodes on the same brach, so we need an identifier
for each node, separate from the branch name.
