## Problem
`cargo +nightly doc` is giving a lot of warnings: broken links, naked
URLs, etc.
## Summary of changes
* update the `proc-macro2` dependency so that it can compile on latest
Rust nightly, see https://github.com/dtolnay/proc-macro2/pull/391 and
https://github.com/dtolnay/proc-macro2/issues/398
* allow the `private_intra_doc_links` lint, as linking to something
that's private is always more useful than just mentioning it without a
link: if the link breaks in the future, at least there is a warning due
to that. Also, one might enable
[`--document-private-items`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-doc.html#documentation-options)
in the future and make these links work in general.
* fix all the remaining warnings given by `cargo +nightly doc`
* make it possible to run `cargo doc` on stable Rust by updating
`opentelemetry` and associated crates to version 0.19, pulling in a fix
that previously broke `cargo doc` on stable:
https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust/pull/904
* Add `cargo doc` to CI to ensure that it won't get broken in the
future.
Fixes#2557
## Future work
* Potentially, it might make sense, for development purposes, to publish
the generated rustdocs somewhere, like for example [how the rust
compiler does
it](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustc_driver/index.html).
I will file an issue for discussion.
If database was created with `is_template true` Postgres doesn't allow
dropping it right away and throws error
```
ERROR: cannot drop a template database
```
so we have to unset `is_template` first.
Fixing it, I noticed that our `escape_literal` isn't exactly correct
and following the same logic as in `quote_literal_internal`, we need to
prepend string with `E`. Otherwise, it's not possible to filter
`pg_database` using `escape_literal()` result if name contains `\`, for
example.
Also use `FORCE` to drop database even if there are active connections.
We run this from `cloud_admin`, so it should have enough privileges.
NB: there could be other db states, which prevent us from dropping
the database. For example, if db is used by any active subscription
or logical replication slot.
TODO: deal with it once we allow logical replication. Proper fix should
involve returning an error code to the control plane, so it could
figure out that this is a non-retryable error, return it to the user and
mark operation as permanently failed.

Allure does not support ansi colored logs, yet `compute_ctl` has them.
Upgrade criterion to get rid of atty dependency, disable ansi colors,
remove atty dependency and disable ansi feature of tracing-subscriber.
This is a heavy-handed approach. I am not aware of a workflow where
you'd want to connect a terminal directly to for example `compute_ctl`,
usually you find the logs in a file. If someone had been using colors,
they will now need to:
- turn the `tracing-subscriber.default-features` to `true`
- edit their wanted project to have colors
I decided to explicitly disable ansi colors in case we would have in
future a dependency accidentally enabling the feature on
`tracing-subscriber`, which would be quite surprising but not
unimagineable.
By getting rid of `atty` from dependencies we get rid of
<https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-g98v-hv3f-hcfr>.
## Problem
Currently, if a user creates a role, it won't by default have any grants
applied to it. If the compute restarts, the grants get applied. This
gives a very strange UX of being able to drop roles/not have any access
to anything at first, and then once something triggers a config
application, suddenly grants are applied. This removes these grants.
This adds test coverage for 'compute_ctl', as it is now used by all
the python tests.
There are a few differences in how 'compute_ctl' is called in the
tests, compared to the real web console:
- In the tests, the postgresql.conf file is included as one large
string in the spec file, and it is written out as it is to the data
directory. I added a new field for that to the spec file. The real
web console, however, sets all the necessary settings in the
'settings' field, and 'compute_ctl' creates the postgresql.conf from
those settings.
- In the tests, the information needed to connect to the storage, i.e.
tenant_id, timeline_id, connection strings to pageserver and
safekeepers, are now passed as new fields in the spec file. The real
web console includes them as the GUCs in the 'settings' field. (Both
of these are different from what the test control plane used to do:
It used to write the GUCs directly in the postgresql.conf file). The
plan is to change the control plane to use the new method, and
remove the old method, but for now, support both.
Some tests that were sensitive to the amount of WAL generated needed
small changes, to accommodate that compute_ctl runs the background
health monitor which makes a few small updates. Also some tests shut
down the pageserver, and now that the background health check can run
some queries while the pageserver is down, that can produce a few
extra errors in the logs, which needed to be allowlisted.
Other changes:
- remove obsolete comments about PostgresNode;
- create standby.signal file for Static compute node;
- log output of `compute_ctl` and `postgres` is merged into
`endpoints/compute.log`.

compute_ctl can panic, but `tracing` is used for logging. panic stderr
output can interleave with messages from normal logging. The fix is to
use the established way (pageserver, safekeeper, storage_broker) of using
`tracing` to report panics.

If compute_ctl is launched without a spec file, it fetches it from the
control plane with an HTTP request. We cannot get the startup tracing
context from the compute spec in that case, because we don't have it
available on start. We could still read the tracing context from the
compute spec after we have fetched it, but that would leave the fetch
itself out of the context. Pass the tracing context in environment
variables instead.
Our scale-to-zero logic was optimized for short auto-suspend intervals,
e.g. minutes or hours. In this case, if compute was restarted by k8s due
to some reason (OOM, k8s node went down, pod relocation, etc.),
`last_active` got bumped, we start counting auto-suspend timeout again.
It's not a big deal, i.e. we suspend completely idle compute not after 5
minutes, but after 10 minutes or so.
Yet, some clients may want days or even weeks. And chance that compute
could be restarted during this interval is pretty high, but in this case
we could be not able to suspend some computes for weeks.
After this commit, we won't initialize `last_active` on start, so
`/status` could return an unset attribute. This means that there was no
user activity since start. Control-plane should deal with it by taking
`max()` out of all available activity timestamps: `started_at`,
`last_active`, etc.

Notes:
- This still needs UI support from the Console
- I've not tuned any GUCs for PostgreSQL to make this work better
- Safekeeper has gotten a tweak in which WAL is sent and how: It now
sends zero-ed WAL data from the start of the timeline's first segment up to
the first byte of the timeline to be compatible with normal PostgreSQL
WAL streaming.
- This includes the commits of #3714

Do several attempts to get spec from the control-plane and retry network
errors and all reasonable HTTP response codes. Do not hang waiting for
spec without confirmation from the control-plane that compute is known
and is in the `Empty` state.
Adjust the way we track `total_startup_ms` metric, it should be
calculated since the moment we received spec, not from the moment
`compute_ctl` started. Also introduce a new `wait_for_spec_ms` metric
to track the time spent sleeping and waiting for spec to be delivered
from control-plane.
Part of neondatabase/cloud#3533
Initially, idea was to ensure that when we come and check data
availability, special service table already contains one row. So if we
loose it for some reason, we will error out.
Yet, to do availability check we anyway start compute first! So it
doesn't really add some value, but we affect each compute start as we
update at least one row in the database. Also this writes some WAL, so
if timeline is close to `neon.max_cluster_size` it could prevent compute
from starting up.
That said, do CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS + UPSERT right in the
`/check_writability` handler.
With this commit one can request compute reconfiguration
from the running `compute_ctl` with compute in `Running` state
by sending a new spec:
```shell
curl -d "{\"spec\": $(cat ./compute-spec-new.json)}" http://localhost:3080/configure
```
Internally, we start a separate configurator thread that is waiting on
`Condvar` for `ConfigurationPending` compute state in a loop. Then it does
reconfiguration, sets compute back to `Running` state and notifies other
waiters.
It will need some follow-ups, e.g. for retry logic for control-plane
requests, but should be useful for testing in the current state. This
shouldn't affect any existing environment, since computes are configured
in a different way there.

Sometimes, it contained real values, sometimes just defaults if the
spec was not received yet. Make the state more clear by making it an
Option instead.
One consequence is that if some of the required settings like
neon.tenant_id are missing from the spec file sent to the /configure
endpoint, it is spotted earlier and you get an immediate HTTP error
response. Not that it matters very much, but it's nicer nevertheless.
This is in preparation of using compute_ctl to launch postgres nodes
in the neon_local control plane. And seems like a good idea to
separate the public interfaces anyway.
One non-mechanical change here is that the 'metrics' field is moved
under the Mutex, instead of using atomics. We were not using atomics
for performance but for convenience here, and it seems more clear to
not use atomics in the model for the HTTP response type.
This commit adds an option to start compute without spec and then pass
it a valid spec via `POST /configure` API endpoint. This is a main
prerequisite for maintaining the pool of compute nodes in the
control-plane.
For example:
1. Start compute with
```shell
cargo run --bin compute_ctl -- -i no-compute \
-p http://localhost:9095 \
-D compute_pgdata \
-C "postgresql://cloud_admin@127.0.0.1:5434/postgres" \
-b ./pg_install/v15/bin/postgres
```
2. Configure it with
```shell
curl -d "{\"spec\": $(cat ./compute-spec.json)}" http://localhost:3080/configure
```
Internally, it's implemented using a `Condvar` + `Mutex`. Compute spec
is moved under Mutex, as it's now could be updated in the http handler.
Also `RwLock` was replaced with `Mutex` because the latter works well
with `Condvar`.
First part of the neondatabase/cloud#4433
Currently we don't see from the logs, if shutting down tracing takes
long time or not. We do see that shutting down computes gets delayed for
some reason and hits thhe grace period limit. Moving the shutdown
message to slightly later, when we don't have anything else than just
exit left.
