## Problem
Location config changes can currently result in changes to the shard
identity. Such changes will cause data corruption, as seen with #12217.
Resolves#12227.
Requires #12377.
## Summary of changes
Assert that the shard identity does not change on location config
updates and on (re)attach.
This is currently asserted with `critical!`, in case it misfires in
production. Later, we should reject such requests with an error and turn
this into a proper assertion.
## Problem
In our infra config, we have to split server_api_key and other fields in
two files: the former one in the sops file, and the latter one in the
normal config. It creates the situation that we might misconfigure some
regions that it only has part of the fields available, causing
storcon/pageserver refuse to start.
## Summary of changes
Allow PostHog config to have part of the fields available. Parse it
later.

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)

Introduce a separate `postgres_ffi_types` crate which contains a few
types and functions that were used in the API. `postgres_ffi_types` is a
much small crate than `postgres_ffi`, and it doesn't depend on bindgen
or the Postgres C headers.
Move NeonWalRecord and Value types to wal_decoder crate. They are only
used in the pageserver-safekeeper "ingest" API. The rest of the ingest
API types are defined in wal_decoder, so move these there as well.
Based on https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11139
## Problem
We want to export performance traces from the pageserver in OTEL format.
End goal is to see them in Grafana.
## Summary of changes
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11139 introduces the
infrastructure required to run the otel collector alongside the
pageserver.
### Design
Requirements:
1. We'd like to avoid implementing our own performance tracing stack if
possible and use the `tracing` crate if possible.
2. Ideally, we'd like zero overhead of a sampling rate of zero and be a
be able to change the tracing config for a tenant on the fly.
3. We should leave the current span hierarchy intact. This includes
adding perf traces without modifying existing tracing.
To satisfy (3) (and (2) in part) a separate span hierarchy is used.
`RequestContext` gains an optional `perf_span` member
that's only set when the request was chosen by sampling. All perf span
related methods added to `RequestContext` are no-ops for requests that
are not sampled.
This on its own is not enough for (3), so performance spans use a
separate tracing subscriber. The `tracing` crate doesn't have great
support for this, so there's a fair amount of boilerplate to override
the subscriber at all points of the perf span lifecycle.
### Perf Impact
[Periodic
pagebench](https://neonprod.grafana.net/d/ddqtbfykfqfi8d/e904990?orgId=1&from=2025-02-08T14:15:59.362Z&to=2025-03-10T14:15:59.362Z&timezone=utc)
shows no statistically significant regression with a sample ratio of 0.
There's an annotation on the dashboard on 2025-03-06.
### Overview of changes:
1. Clean up the `RequestContext` API a bit. Namely, get rid of the
`RequestContext::extend` API and use the builder instead.
2. Add pageserver level configs for tracing: sampling ratio, otel
endpoint, etc.
3. Introduce some perf span tracking utilities and expose them via
`RequestContext`. We add a `tracing::Span` wrapper to be used for perf
spans and a `tracing::Instrumented` equivalent for it. See doc comments
for reason.
4. Set up OTEL tracing infra according to configuration. A separate
runtime is used for the collector.
5. Add perf traces to the read path.

Updates storage components to edition 2024. We like to stay on the
latest edition if possible. There is no functional changes, however some
code changes had to be done to accommodate the edition's breaking
changes.
The PR has two commits:
* the first commit updates storage crates to edition 2024 and appeases
`cargo clippy` by changing code. i have accidentially ran the formatter
on some files that had other edits.
* the second commit performs a `cargo fmt`
I would recommend a closer review of the first commit and a less close
review of the second one (as it just runs `cargo fmt`).

# Context
This PR contains PoC-level changes for a product feature that allows
onboarding large databases into Neon without going through the regular
data path.
# Changes
This internal RFC provides all the context
* https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/pull/19799
In the language of the RFC, this PR covers
* the Importer code (`fast_import`)
* all the Pageserver changes (mgmt API changes, flow implementation,
etc)
* a basic test for the Pageserver changes
# Reviewing
As acknowledged in the RFC, the code added in this PR is not ready for
general availability.
Also, the **architecture is not to be discussed in this PR**, but in the
RFC and associated Slack channel instead.
Reviewers of this PR should take that into consideration.
The quality bar to apply during review depends on what area of the code
is being reviewed:
* Importer code (`fast_import`): practically anything goes
* Core flow (`flow.rs`):
* Malicious input data must be expected and the existing threat models
apply.
* The code must not be safe to execute on *dedicated* Pageserver
instances:
* This means in particular that tenants *on other* Pageserver instances
must not be affected negatively wrt data confidentiality, integrity or
availability.
* Other code: the usual quality bar
* Pay special attention to correct use of gate guards, timeline
cancellation in all places during shutdown & migration, etc.
* Consider the broader system impact; if you find potentially
problematic interactions with Storage features that were not covered in
the RFC, bring that up during the review.
I recommend submitting three separate reviews, for the three high-level
areas with different quality bars.

This PR simplifies the pageserver configuration parsing as follows:
* introduce the `pageserver_api::config::ConfigToml` type
* implement `Default` for `ConfigToml`
* use serde derive to do the brain-dead leg-work of processing the toml
document
* use `serde(default)` to fill in default values
* in `pageserver` crate:
* use `toml_edit` to deserialize the pageserver.toml string into a
`ConfigToml`
* `PageServerConfig::parse_and_validate` then
* consumes the `ConfigToml`
* destructures it exhaustively into its constituent fields
* constructs the `PageServerConfig`
The rules are:
* in `ConfigToml`, use `deny_unknown_fields` everywhere
* static default values go in `pageserver_api`
* if there cannot be a static default value (e.g. which default IO
engine to use, because it depends on the runtime), make the field in
`ConfigToml` an `Option`
* if runtime-augmentation of a value is needed, do that in
`parse_and_validate`
* a good example is `virtual_file_io_engine` or `l0_flush`, both of
which need to execute code to determine the effective value in
`PageServerConf`
The benefits:
* massive amount of brain-dead repetitive code can be deleted
* "unused variable" compile-time errors when removing a config value,
due to the exhaustive destructuring in `parse_and_validate`
* compile-time errors guide you when adding a new config field
Drawbacks:
* serde derive is sometimes a bit too magical
* `deny_unknown_fields` is easy to miss
Future Work / Benefits:
* make `neon_local` use `pageserver_api` to construct `ConfigToml` and
write it to `pageserver.toml`
* This provides more type safety / coompile-time errors than the current
approach.
### Refs
Fixes#3682
### Future Work
* `remote_storage` deser doesn't reject unknown fields
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8915
* clean up `libs/pageserver_api/src/config.rs` further
* break up into multiple files, at least for tenant config
* move `models` as appropriate / refine distinction between config and
API models / be explicit about when it's the same
* use `pub(crate)` visibility on `mod defaults` to detect stale values
This removes workspace hack from all libs, not from any binaries. This
does not change the behaviour of the hack.
Running
```
cargo clean
cargo build --release --bin proxy
```
Before this change took 5m16s. After this change took 3m3s. This is
because this allows the build to be parallelisable much more.
PR adds a simple at most 1Hz refreshed informational API for querying
pageserver utilization. In this first phase, no actual background
calculation is performed. Instead, the worst possible score is always
returned. The returned bytes information is however correct.

This PR introduces a new vectored implementation of the read path.
The search is basically a DFS if you squint at it long enough.
LayerFringe tracks the next layers to visit and acts as our stack.
Vertices are tuples of (layer, keyspace, lsn range). Continuously
pop the top of the stack (most recent layer) and do all the reads
for one layer at once.
The search maintains a fringe (`LayerFringe`) which tracks all the
layers that intersect the current keyspace being searched. Continuously
pop the top of the fringe (layer with highest LSN) and get all the data
required from the layer in one go.
Said search is done on one timeline at a time. If data is still required for
some keys, then search the ancestor timeline.
Apart from the high level layer traversal, vectored variants have been
introduced for grabbing data from each layer type. They still suffer from
read amplification issues and that will be addressed in a different PR.
You might notice that in some places we duplicate the code for the
existing read path. All of that code will be removed when we switch
the non-vectored read path to proxy into the vectored read path.
In the meantime, we'll have to contend with the extra cruft for the sake
of testing and gentle releasing.
- log when we start walredo process
- include tenant shard id in walredo argv
- dump some basic walredo state in tenant details api
- more suitable walredo process launch histogram buckets
- avoid duplicate tracing labels in walredo launch spans
## Problem
The `/v1/tenant` listing API only applies to attached tenants.
For an external service to implement a global reconciliation of its list
of shards vs. what's on the pageserver, we need a full view of what's in
TenantManager, including secondary tenant locations, and InProgress
locations.
Dependency of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6251
## Summary of changes
- Add methods to Tenant and SecondaryTenant to reconstruct the
LocationConf used to create them.
- Add `GET /v1/location_config` API
## Problem
The TenantShardId in API URLs is sufficient to uniquely identify a
tenant shard, but not for it to function: it also needs to know its full
sharding configuration (stripe size, layout version) in order to map
keys to shards.
## Summary of changes
- Introduce ShardIdentity: this is the superset of ShardIndex (#5924 )
that is required for translating keys to shard numbers.
- Include ShardIdentity as an optional attribute of LocationConf
- Extend the public `LocationConfig` API structure with a flat
representation of shard attributes.
The net result is that at the point we construct a `Tenant`, we have a
`ShardIdentity` (inside LocationConf). This enables the next steps to
actually use the ShardIdentity to split WAL and validate that page
service requires are reaching the correct shard.
## Problem
When using TenantId as the key, we are unable to handle multiple tenant
shards attached to the same pageserver for the same tenant ID. This is
an expected scenario if we have e.g. 8 shards and 5 pageservers.
## Summary of changes
- TenantsMap is now a BTreeMap instead of a HashMap: this enables
looking up by range. In future, we will need this for page_service, as
incoming requests will just specify the Key, and we'll have to figure
out which shard to route it to.
- A new key type TenantShardId is introduced, to act as the key in
TenantsMap, and as the id type in external APIs. Its human readable
serialization is backward compatible with TenantId, and also
forward-compatible as long as sharding is not actually used (when we
construct a TenantShardId with ShardCount(0), it serializes to an
old-fashioned TenantId).
- Essential tenant APIs are updated to accept TenantShardIds:
tenant/timeline create, tenant delete, and /location_conf. These are the
APIs that will enable driving sharded tenants. Other apis like /attach
/detach /load /ignore will not work with sharding: those will soon be
deprecated and replaced with /location_conf as part of the live
migration work.
Closes: #5787
Reason and backtrace are added to the Broken state. Backtrace is automatically collected when tenant entered the broken state. The format for API, CLI and metrics is changed and unified to return tenant state name in camel case. Previously snake case was used for metrics and camel case was used for everything else. Now tenant state field in TenantInfo swagger spec is changed to contain state name in "slug" field and other fields (currently only reason and backtrace for Broken variant in "data" field). To allow for this breaking change state was removed from TenantInfo swagger spec because it was not used anywhere.
Please note that the tenant's broken reason is not persisted on disk so the reason is lost when pageserver is restarted.
Requires changes to grafana dashboard that monitors tenant states.
Closes#3001

This patch adds a per-timeline periodic task that executes an eviction
policy. The eviction policy is configurable per tenant.
Two policies exist:
- NoEviction (the default one)
- LayerAccessThreshold
The LayerAccessThreshold policy examines the last access timestamp per
layer in the layer map and evicts the layer if that last access is
further in the past than a configurable threshold value.
This policy kind is evaluated periodically at a configurable period.
It logs a summary statistic at `info!()` or `warn!()` level, depending
on whether any evictions failed.
This feature has no explicit killswitch since it's off by default.
This patch adds basic access statistics for historic layers
and exposes them in the management API's `LayerMapInfo`.
We record the accesses in the `{Delta,Image}Layer::load()` function
because it's the common path of
* page_service (`Timline::get_reconstruct_data()`)
* Compaction (`PersistentLayer::iter()` and `PersistentLayer::key_iter()`)
The stats survive residence status changes, and record these as well.
When scraping the layer map endpoint to record its evolution over time,
one must account for stat resets because they are in-memory only and
will reset on pageserver restart.
Use the launch timestamp header added by (#3527) to identify pageserver restarts.
This is PR https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/3496
* etcd-client is not updated, since we plan to replace it with another client and the new version errors with some missing prost library error
* clap had released another major update that requires changing every CLI declaration again, deserves a separate PR
Creates new `pageserver_api` and `safekeeper_api` crates to serve as the
shared dependencies. Should reduce both recompile times and cold compile
times.
Decreases the size of the optimized `neon_local` binary: 380M -> 179M.
No significant changes for anything else (mostly as expected).
