Out of scope LSNs include pre initdb LSNs, and LSNs prior to
latest_gc_cutoff.
To get there there was also two cleanups:
* Fix error handling in Execute message handler. This fixes behaviour
when basebackup retured an error. Previously pageserver thread just
died.
* Remove "ancestor" file which previously contained ancestor id and
branch lsn. Currently the same data can be obtained from metadata file.
And just the way we handled ancestor file in the code introduced the
case when branching fails timeline directory is created but there is no data in it
except ancestor file. And this confused gc because it scans
directories. So it is better to just remove ancestor file and clean up
this timeline directory creation so it happens after all validity
checks have passed
This calculation is not that heavy but it is needed only in tests, and
in case the number of tenants/timelines is high the calculation can take
noticeable time.
Resolves https://github.com/zenithdb/zenith/issues/804
Which is mainly generational state (terms) and useful LSNs.
Also add /status basic healthcheck request which is now used in tests to
determine the safekeeper is up; this fixes#726.
ref #115
Whenever we start processing a request, we now enter a tracing "span"
that includes context information like the tenant and timeline ID, and
the operation we're performing. That context information gets attached
to every log message we create within the span. That way, we don't need
to include basic context information like that in every log message, and
it also becomes easier to filter the logs programmatically.
This removes the eplicit timeline and tenant IDs from most log messages,
as you get that information from the enclosing span now.
Also improve log messages in general, dialing down the level of some
messages that are not very useful, and adding information to others.
We now obey the RUST_LOG env variable, if it's set.
The 'tracing' crate allows for different log formatters, like JSON or
bunyan output. The one we use now is human-readable multi-line format,
which is nice when reading the log directly, but hard for
post-processing. For production, we'll probably want JSON output and
some tools for working with it, but that's left as a TODO. The log
format is easy to change.
Most of the previous usages of get_repository_for_tenant were followed
by immediately getting a timeline in that repository, without keeping it
around for longer.
The new `get_timeline_for_tenant` function implements that same
behavior, but in one line.
In order to exclude problems with synchronizing disk and memory logical
size is not stored in metadata on disk. It is calculated on timeline
"start" by scanning the contents of layered repo and then size is maintained
via an atomic variable.
This patch also adds new endpoint to pageserver http api: branch detail.
It allows retrieval of a particular branch info by its name. Size info
is also added to the response of the endpoint and used in tests.
Once upon a time, 'page_cache.rs' contained an actual page cache, but
it hasn't for a very long time. Rename to reflect what it actually does
these days.
