## Summary of changes
Removed all aux-v1 config processing code. Note that we persisted it
into the index part file, so we cannot really remove the field from
index part. I also kept the config item within the tenant config, but we
will not read it any more.

# Problem
Timeline creation can either be bootstrap or branch.
The distinction is made based on whether the `ancestor_*` fields are
present or not.
In the PGDATA import code
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9218), I add a third variant
to timeline creation.
# Solution
The above pushed me to refactor the code in Pageserver to distinguish
the different creation requests through enum variants.
There is no externally observable effect from this change.
On the implementation level, a notable change is that the acquisition of
the `TimelineCreationGuard` happens later than before. This is necessary
so that we have everything in place to construct the
`CreateTimelineIdempotency`. Notably, this moves the acquisition of the
creation guard _after_ the acquisition of the `gc_cs` lock in the case
of branching. This might appear as if we're at risk of holding `gc_cs`
longer than before this PR, but, even before this PR, we were holding
`gc_cs` until after the `wait_completion()` that makes the timeline
creation durable in S3 returns. I don't see any deadlock risk with
reversing the lock acquisition order.
As a drive-by change, I found that the `create_timeline()` function in
`neon_local` is unused, so I removed it.

## Problem
Occasionally, we get failures to start the storage controller's db with
errors like:
```
aborting due to panic at /__w/neon/neon/control_plane/src/background_process.rs:349:67:
claim pid file: lock file
Caused by:
file is already locked
```
e.g.
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-9428/11380574562/index.html#/testresult/1c68d413ea9ecd4a
This is happening in a stop,start cycle during a test. Presumably the
pidfile from the startup background process is still held at the point
we stop, because we let pg_ctl keep running in the background.
## Summary of changes
- Refactor pg_ctl invocations into a helper
- In the controller's `start` function, use pg_ctl & a wait loop for
pg_isready, instead of using background_process

Adds a test for the (now fixed) storage broker limit issue, see #9268
for the description and #9299 for the fix.
Also fix a race condition with endpoint creation/starts running in parallel,
leading to file not found errors.
1. Adds local-proxy to compute image and vm spec
2. Updates local-proxy config processing, writing PID to a file eagerly
3. Updates compute-ctl to understand local proxy compute spec and to
send SIGHUP to local-proxy over that pid.

Follow-up of #9234 to give hyper 1.0 the version-free name, and the
legacy version of hyper the one with the version number inside. As we
move away from hyper 0.14, we can remove the `hyper0` name piece by
piece.

## Problem
We don't have an alert for long running reconciles. Stuck reconciles are
problematic
as we've seen in a recent incident.
## Summary of changes
Add a new metric `storage_controller_reconcile_long_running_total` with
labels: `{tenant_id, shard_number, seq}`.
The metric is removed after the long running reconcile finishes. These
events should be rare, so we won't break
the bank on cardinality.

Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/13127. Resolves
#9153
What changed in this PR:
1. Adds `ComputeSpec.disk_quota_bytes: Option<u64>`
2. Adds new arg to compute_ctl: `--set-disk-quota-for-fs <mountpoint>`
3. Implements running `/neonvm/bin/set-disk-quota` with the right value
if both cmdline arg AND field in the spec are specified
4. Patches `/etc/sudoers.d` to allow `compute_ctl` to set quota with
sudo
This PR is very similar to the swap support added earlier, you can take
a look at it as prior art: #7434
In theory, it can be implemented outside of compute_ctl when we will
have a separate neonvm daemon, but we are not there yet. Current
implementation is the simplest possible to unblock computes with larger
disks.
All code related to usage of `/neonvm/bin/set-disk-quota` is located in
`disk_quota.rs`. We need to call this script with the following
arguments: `/neonvm/bin/set-disk-quota {size_kb} {mountpoint}`. Quotas
are set on the filesystem level, so we need to provide path to the
directory that filesystem was mounted to.
I tested this change locally with
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/pull/17270. It should be safe to
merge, because this feature is gated by both cmdline arg and field in
the spec. If control-plane doesn't set values in both places,
compute_ctl won't be affected by this change.
Part of #7497, closes#8817.
## Problem
See #8817.
## Summary of changes
**compute_ctl**
- Renew lsn lease as soon as `/configure` updates pageserver_connstr,
use `state_changed` Condvar for synchronization.
**pageserver**
As mentioned in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8817#issuecomment-2315768076,
we still want some permanent error reported if a lease cannot be
granted. By considering attachment mode and the added
`lsn_lease_deadline` when processing lease requests, we can also bound
the case of bad requests to a very short period after migration/restart.
- Refactor https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9024 and move
`lsn_lease_deadline` to `AttachedTenantConf` so timeline can easily
access it.
- Have separate HTTP `init_lsn_lease` and libpq `renew_lsn_lease` API.
- Always do LSN verification for the initial HTTP lease request.
- LSN verification for the renewal is **still done** when tenants are
not in `AttachedSingle` and we have pass the `lsn_lease_deadline`, which
give plenty of time for compute to renew the lease.
**neon_local**
- add and call `timeline_init_lsn_lease` mgmt_api at static endpoint
start. The initial lsn lease http request is sent when we run `cargo
neon endpoint start <static endpoint>`.
## Testing
- Extend `test_readonly_node_gc` to do pageserver restarts and
migration.
## Future Work
- The control plane should make the initial lease request through HTTP
when creating a static endpoint. This is currently only done in
`neon_local`.

Problem
-------
Before this PR, `neon_local` sequentially does the following:
1. launch storcon process
2. wait for storcon to signal readiness
[here](75310fe441/control_plane/src/storage_controller.rs (L804-L808))
3. start pageserver
4. wait for pageserver to become ready
[here](c43e664ff5/control_plane/src/pageserver.rs (L343-L346))
5. etc
The problem is that storcon's readiness waits for the
[`startup_reconcile`](cbcd4058ed/storage_controller/src/service.rs (L520-L523))
to complete.
But pageservers aren't started at this point.
So, worst case we wait for `STARTUP_RECONCILE_TIMEOUT/2`, i.e., 15s.
This is more than the 10s default timeout allowed by neon_local.
So, the result is that `neon_local start` fails to start storcon and
stops everything.
Solution
--------
In this PR I choose the the radical solution to start everything in
parallel.
It junks up the output because we do stuff like `print!(".")` to
indicate progress.
We should just abandon that.
And switch to `utils::logging` + `tracing` with separate spans for each
component.
I can do that in this PR or we leave it as a follow-up.
Alternatives Considered
-----------------------
The Pageserver's `/v1/status` or in fact any endpoint of the mgmt API
will not `accept()` on the mgmt API socket until after the `re-attach`
call to storcon returned success.
So, it's insufficient to change the startup order to start Pageservers
first.
We cannot easily change Pageserver startup order because
`init_tenant_mgr` must complete before we start serving the mgmt API.
Otherwise tenant detach calls et al can race with `init_tenant_mgr`.
We'd have to add a "loading" state to tenant mgr and make all API
endpoints except `/v1/status` wait for _that_ to complete.

Makes it consistent with the "timeline create" and "timeline import"
commands, which allowed you to pass the timeline id as argument. This
also makes it unnecessary to parse the timeline ID from the output in
the python function that calls it.
## Problem
Each test might wait for up to 5s in order to HB the pageserver.
## Summary of changes
Make the heartbeat interval configurable and use a really tight one for
neon local => startup quicker
## Problem

## Problem
Previously, we would run db migrations before doing the step-down
sequence. This meant that the current leader would have to deal with
the schema changes and that's generally not safe.
## Summary of changes
Push the step-down procedure earlier in start-up and
do db migrations right after it (but before we load-up the in-memory
state from the db).

## Problem
The default Postgres version is set to 15 in code, while we use 16 in
most of the other places (and Postgres 17 is coming)
## Summary of changes
- Run `benchmarks` job with Postgres 16 (instead of Postgres 14)
- Set `DEFAULT_PG_VERSION` to 16 in all places
- Remove deprecated `--pg-version` pytest argument
- Update `test_metadata_bincode_serde_ensure_roundtrip` for Postgres 16
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8588 implemented the mechanism
for storage controller
leadership transfers. However, there's no tests that exercise the
behaviour.
## Summary of changes
1. Teach `neon_local` how to handle multiple storage controller
instances. Each storage controller
instance gets its own subdirectory (`storage_controller_1, ...`).
`storage_controller start|stop` subcommands
have also been extended to optionally accept an instance id.
2. Add a storage controller proxy test fixture. It's a basic HTTP server
that forwards requests from pageserver
and test env to the currently configured storage controller.
3. Add a test which exercises storage controller leadership transfer.
4. Finally fix a couple bugs that the test surfaced
It should take syncrep flush_lsn into account because WAL before it on endpoint
restart is lost, which makes replication miss some data if slot had already been
advanced too far. This commit adds test reproducing the issue and bumps
vendor/postgres to commit with the actual fix.
## 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.
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
Re-attach blocks the pageserver http server from starting up. Hence, it
can't reply to heartbeats
until that's done. This makes the storage controller mark the node
off-line (not good). We worked
around this by setting the interval after which nodes are marked offline
to 5 minutes. This isn't a
long term solution.
## Summary of changes
* Introduce a new `NodeAvailability` state: `WarmingUp`. This state
models the following time interval:
* From receiving the re-attach request until the pageserver replies to
the first heartbeat post re-attach
* The heartbeat delta generator becomes aware of this state and uses a
separate longer interval
* Flag `max-warming-up-interval` now models the longer timeout and
`max-offline-interval` the shorter one to
match the names of the states
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7552
When `NeonEnv.from_repo_dir` was introduced, storage controller stored
its
state exclusively `attachments.json`.
Since then, it has moved to using Postgres, which stores its state in
`storage_controller_db`.
But `NeonEnv.from_repo_dir` wasn't adjusted to do this.
This PR rectifies the situation.
Context for this is failures in
`test_pageserver_characterize_throughput_with_n_tenants`
CF:
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1721035799502239?thread_ts=1720901332.293769&cid=C033RQ5SPDH
Notably, `from_repo_dir` is also used by the backwards- and
forwards-compatibility.
Thus, the changes in this PR affect those tests as well.
However, it turns out that the compatibility snapshot already contains
the `storage_controller_db`.
Thus, it should just work and in fact we can remove hacks like
`fixup_storage_controller`.

## Problem
There are something wrong in the comment of
`control_plane/src/broker.rs` and `control_plane/src/pageserver.rs`
## Summary of changes
Fixed the comment about component name and their data path in
`control_plane/src/broker.rs` and `control_plane/src/pageserver.rs`.
`trace_read_requests` is a per `Tenant`-object option.
But the `handle_pagerequests` loop doesn't know which
`Tenant` object (i.e., which shard) the request is for.
The remaining use of the `Tenant` object is to check `tenant.cancel`.
That check is incorrect [if the pageserver hosts multiple
shards](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7427#issuecomment-2220577518).
I'll fix that in a future PR where I completely eliminate the holding
of `Tenant/Timeline` objects across requests.
See [my code RFC](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8286) for
the
high level idea.
Note that we can always bring the tracing functionality if we need it.
But since it's actually about logging the `page_service` wire bytes,
it should be a `page_service`-level config option, not per-Tenant.
And for enabling tracing on a single connection, we can implement
a `set pageserver_trace_connection;` option.
I want to fix bugs in `page_service`
([issue](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7427)) and the
`import basebackup` / `import wal` stand in the way / make the
refactoring more complicated.
We don't use these methods anyway in practice, but, there have been some
objections to removing the functionality completely.
So, this PR preserves the existing functionality but moves it into the
HTTP management API.
Note that I don't try to fix existing bugs in the code, specifically not
fixing
* it only ever worked correctly for unsharded tenants
* it doesn't clean up on error
All errors are mapped to `ApiError::InternalServerError`.
## Problem
We use `build-tools` image as a base image to build other images, and it
has a pretty old `libpq-dev` installed (v13; it wasn't that old until I
removed system Postgres 14 from `build-tools` image in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6540)
## Summary of changes
- Remove `libpq-dev` from `build-tools` image
- Set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` for tests (for different Postgres binaries that
we use, like psql and pgbench)
- Set `PQ_LIB_DIR` to build Storage Controller
- Set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`/`DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` in the Storage Controller
where it calls Postgres binaries
## Problem
For some time, we have created tenants with calls to location_conf. The
legacy "POST /v1/tenant" path was only used in some tests.
## Summary of changes
- Remove the API
- 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
control plane and storage controller do
- Update docker-compose test script to create tenants with
location_config API (this small commit is also present in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7947)
- Add --safekeepers option to neon_local reconfigure
- Add it to python Endpoint reconfigure
- Implement config reload in walproposer by restarting the whole bgw when
safekeeper list changes.
ref https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6341
Also, modify the "neon_local timeline import" command so that it
doesn't create the endpoint any more. I don't see any reason to bundle
that in the same command, the "timeline create" and "timeline branch"
commands don't do that either.
I plan to add more tests similar to 'test_import_at_2bil', this will
help to reduce the copy-pasting.
This was a half-finished mechanism to allow a replica to enter hot
standby mode sooner, without waiting for a running-xacts record. It had
issues, and we are working on a better mechanism to replace it.
The control plane might still set the flag in the spec file, but
compute_ctl will simply ignore it.
## Problem
see https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8070
## Summary of changes
the neon_local subcommands to
- start neon
- start pageserver
- start safekeeper
- start storage controller
get a new option -t=xx or --start-timeout=xx which allows to specify a
longer timeout in seconds we wait for the process start.
This is useful in test cases where the pageserver has to read a lot of
layer data, like in pagebench test cases.
In addition we exploit the new timeout option in the python test
infrastructure (python fixtures) and modify the flaky testcase to
increase the timeout from 10 seconds to 1 minute.

Before this PR, storage controller and broker would run in the
PWD of neon_local, i.e., most likely the checkout of neon.git.
With this PR, the shared infrastructure for background processes
sets the PWD.
Benefits:
* easy listing of processes in a repo dir using `lsof`, see added
comment in the code
* coredumps go in the right directory (next to the process)
* generally matching common expectations, I think
Changes:
* set the working directory in `background_process` module
* drive-by: fix reliance of storage_controller on NEON_REPO_DIR being
set by neon_local for the local compute hook to work correctly
## Problem
We have this set of test utilities which duplicate a tenant by copying
everything that's in remote storage and then attaching a tenant to the
pageserver and storage controller. When the "copied tenants" are created
on the storage controller, they start off from generation number 0. This
means that they can't see anything past that generation.
This issues has existed ever since generation numbers have been
introduced, but we've largely been lucky
for the generation to stay stable during the template tenant creation.
## Summary of Changes
Extend the storage controller debug attach hook to accept a generation
override. Use that in the tenant duplication logic to set the generation
number to something greater than the naturally reached generation. This
allows the tenants to see all layer files.
Part of #7497, extracts from #7996, closes#8063.
## Problem
With the LSN lease API introduced in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7808, we want to implement
the real lease logic so that GC will
keep all the layers needed to reconstruct all pages at all the leased
LSNs with valid leases at a given time.

- Make safekeeper read SAFEKEEPER_AUTH_TOKEN env variable with JWT
token to connect to other safekeepers.
- Set it in neon_local when auth is enabled.
- Create simple rust http client supporting it, and use it in pull_timeline
implementation.
- Enable auth in all pull_timeline tests.
- Make sk http_client() by default generate safekeeper wide token, it makes
easier enabling auth in all tests by default.
## Problem
In `test_storage_controller_many_tenants` we
[occasionally](https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/main/9155810417/index.html#/testresult/8fbdf57a0e859c2d)
see it hit the retry limit on serializable transactions. That's likely
due to a combination of relative slow fsync on the hetzner nodes running
the test, and the way the test does lots of parallel timeline creations,
putting high load on the drive.
Running the storage controller's db with fsync=off may help here.
## Summary of changes
- Set `fsync=off` in the postgres config for the database used by the
storage controller in tests
## 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.
Before this PR, `neon_local` would store a copy of a subset of the
initial `pageserver.toml` in its `.neon/config`, e.g, `listen_pg_addr`.
That copy is represented as `struct PageServerConf`.
This copy was used to inform e.g., `neon_local endpoint` and other
commands that depend on Pageserver about which port to connect to.
The problem with that scheme is that the duplicated information in
`.neon/config` can get stale if `pageserver.toml` is changed.
This PR fixes that by eliminating populating `struct PageServerConf`
from the `pageserver.toml`s.
The `[[pageservers]]` TOML table in the `.neon/config` is obsolete.
As of this PR, `neon_local` will fail to start and print an error
informing about this change.
Code-level changes:
- Remove the `--pg-version` flag, it was only used for some checks
during `neon_local init`
- Remove the warn-but-continue behavior for when auth key creation fails
but auth keys are not required. It's just complexity that is unjustified
for a tool like `neon_local`.
- Introduce a type-system-level distinction between the runtime state
and the two (!) toml formats that are almost the same but not quite.
- runtime state: `struct PageServerConf`, now without `serde` derives
- toml format 1: the state in `.neon/config` => `struct OnDiskState`
- toml format 2: the `neon_local init --config TMPFILE` that, unlike
`struct OnDiskState`, allows specifying `pageservers`
- Remove `[[pageservers]]` from the `struct OnDiskState` and load the
data from the individual `pageserver.toml`s instead.
