There's some more code that still checks for uninit and delete
markers, see callers of is_delete_mark and is_uninit_mark, and github
issue #5718. But these functions were outright dead.
Dead code is generally useless, but with Postgres constants in
particular, I'm also worried that if they're not used anywhere, we
might fail to update them at a Postgres version update, and get very
confused later when they have wrong values.
When I checked the log in Grafana I couldn't find the scrubber version.
Then I realized that it should be logged after the logger gets
initialized.
## Summary of changes

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.

## Problem
It turns out the previous approach (with `skip_if` input) doesn't work
(from https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9017).
Revert it and use more straightforward if-conditions
## Summary of changes
- Revert efbe8db7f1
- Add if-condition to`promote-compatibility-data` job and relevant
comments
Commit ca5390a89d made a similar change to DeltaLayerWriter.
We bumped into this with Stas with our hackathon project, to create a
standalong program to create image layers directly from a Postgres data
directory. It needs to create image layers without having a Timeline and
other pageserver machinery.
This downgrades the "created image layer {}" message from INFO to TRACE
level. TRACE is used for the corresponding message on delta layer
creation too. The path logged in the message is now the temporary path,
before the file is renamed to its final name. Again commit ca5390a89d
made the same change for the message on delta layer creation.
There's currently no way to just start/stop broker from `neon_local`.
This PR
* adds a sub-command
* uses that sub-command from the test suite instead of the pre-existing
Python `subprocess` based approach.

- Remove unneeded `fetch-depth: 0`
- Add a comment if `fetch-depth: 0` is required
We added another migration in 5876c441ab,

## Problem
We've got 2 non-blocking failures on the release pipeline:
- `promote-compatibility-data` job got skipped _presumably_ because one
of the dependencies of `deploy` job (`push-to-acr-dev`) got skipped
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8940)
- `coverage-report` job fails because we don't build debug artifacts in
the release branch (https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8561)
## Summary of changes
- Always run `push-to-acr-dev` / `push-to-acr-prod` jobs, but add
`skip_if` parameter to the reusable workflow, which can skip the job
internally, without skipping externally
- Do not run `coverage-report` on release branches
## Problem
It turns out that we can't rely on external orchestration to promptly
route trafic to the new leader. This is downtime inducing.
Forwarding provides a safe way out.
## Safety
We forward when:
1. Request is not one of ["/control/v1/step_down", "/status", "/ready",
"/metrics"]
2. Current instance is in [`LeadershipStatus::SteppedDown`] state
3. There is a leader in the database to forward to
4. Leader from step (3) is not the current instance
If a storcon instance is persisted in the database, then we know that it
is the current leader.
There's one exception: time between handling step-down request and the
new leader updating the
database.
Let's treat the happy case first. The stepped down node does not produce
any side effects,
since all request handling happens on the leader.
As for the edge case, we are guaranteed to always have a maximum of two
running instances.
Hence, if we are in the edge case scenario the leader persisted in the
database is the
stepped down instance that received the request. Condition (4) above
covers this scenario.
## Summary of changes
* Conversion utilities for reqwest <-> hyper. I'm not happy with these,
but I don't see a better way. Open to suggestions.
* Add request forwarding logic
* Update each request handler. Again, not happy with this. If anyone
knows a nice to wrap the handlers, lmk. Me and Joonas tried :/
* Update each handler to maybe forward
* Tweak tests to showcase new behaviour
pg_distrib_dir doesn't include the Postgres version and only depends
on env variables which cannot change during a test run, so it can be
marked as session-scoped. Similarly, the platform cannot change during
a test run.
There was another copy of it in utils.py. The only difference is that
the version in utils.py tolerates files that are concurrently
removed. That seems fine for the few callers in neon_fixtures.py too.
This should generally be faster when running tests, especially those
that run with higher scales.
Ignoring test_lfc_resize since it seems like we are hitting a query
timeout for some reason that I have yet to investigate. A little bit of
improvemnt is better than none.

## Problem
`gather-rust-build-stats` extra CI job fails with
```
"PQ_LIB_DIR" doesn't exist in the configured path: "/__w/neon/neon/pg_install/v16/lib"

## Summary of changes
- Use the path to Postgres 17 for the `gather-rust-build-stats` job.
The job uses Postgres built by `make walproposer-lib`
Most extensions are not required to run Neon-based PostgreSQL, but the
Neon extension is _quite_ critical, so let's make sure we include it.

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.
The tenant ID was not actually generated here but in NeonEnvBuilder.
And the "neon_local init" command hasn't been able to generate the
initial tenant since 8712e1899e anyway.
## Problem
Having run in production for a while, we see that nodes are generally
safely oversubscribed by about a factor of 2.
## Summary of changes
Tweak the is_overloaded method to check for utililzation over 200%
rather than over 100%
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8621, validation of keys
during ingest was removed because the places where we actually store
keys are now past the point where we have already converted them to
CompactKey (i128) representation.
## Summary of changes
Reinstate validation at an earlier stage in ingest. This doesn't cover
literally every place we write a key, but it covers most cases where
we're trusting postgres to give us a valid key (i.e. one that doesn't
try and use a custom spacenode).
The current code assumes that most of this functionality is
version-independent, which is only true up to v16 - PostgreSQL 17 has a
new field in CheckPoint that we need to keep track of.
This basically removes the file-level dependency on v14, and replaces it
with switches that load the correct version dependencies where required.
PR #7782 set the dependency in Cargo.toml to 'master', and locked the
version to commit that contained a specific fix, because we needed the
fix before it was included in a versioned release. The fix was later
included in parquet crate version 52.0.0, so we can now switch back to
using a released version. The latest release is 53.0.0, switch straight
to that.

## Summary of changes
This patch modifies the split delta layer writer to avoid taking
start_key and end_key when creating/finishing the layer writer. The
start_key for the delta layers will be the first key provided to the
layer writer, and the end_key would be the `last_key.next()`. This
simplifies the delta layer writer API.
On that, the layer key hack is removed. Image layers now use the full
key range, and delta layers use the first/last key provided by the user.

I wish it worked, but it's been broken for a long time, so let's admit
defeat and remove it.
The idea of sharing the same pageserver and safekeeper environment
between tests is still sound, and it could save a lot of time in our
CI. We should perhaps put some time into doing that, but we're better
off starting from scratch than trying to make TEST_SHARED_FIXTURES
work in its current form.
