## Problem
In the past we've rolled out all new `compute_ctl` functionality right
to all users, which could be risky. I want to have a more fine-grained
control over what we enable, in which env and to which users.
## Summary of changes
Add an option to pass a list of feature flags to `compute_ctl`. If not
passed, it defaults to an empty list. Any unknown flags are ignored.
This allows us to release new experimental features safer, as we can
then flip the flag for one specific user, only Neon employees, free /
pro / etc. users and so on. Or control it per environment.
In the current implementation feature flags are passed via compute spec,
so they do not allow controlling behavior of `empty` computes. For them,
we can either stick with the previous approach, i.e. add separate cli
args or introduce a more generic `--features` cli argument.
`neon_local endpoint` subcommand currently allows creating two primary
endpoints for the same branch which leads to shutdown of both endpoints
`neon_local endpoint start` new behavior:
1. Fail if endpoint doesn't exist
2. Fail if two primary conflict detected

instead of direct S3 request.
Pros:
- simplify code a lot (no need to provide AWS credentials and paths);
- reduce latency of downloading extension data as proxy resides near
computes; -reduce AWS costs as proxy has cache and 1000 computes asking
the same extension will not generate 1000 downloads from S3.
- we can use only one S3 bucket to store extensions (and rid of regional
buckets which were introduced to reduce latency);
Changes:
- deprecate remote-ext-config compute_ctl parameter, use
http://pg-ext-s3-gateway if any old format remote-ext-cofig is provided;
- refactor tests to use mock http server;
Improve the serde impl for several types (`Lsn`, `TenantId`,
`TimelineId`) by making them sensitive to
`Serializer::is_human_readadable` (true for json, false for bincode).
Fixes#3511 by:
- Implement the custom serde for `Lsn`
- Implement the custom serde for `Id`
- Add the helper module `serde_as_u64` in `libs/utils/src/lsn.rs`
- Remove the unnecessary attr `#[serde_as(as = "DisplayFromStr")]` in
all possible structs
Additionally some safekeeper types gained serde tests.

## Problem
Currently our testing environment only supports running a single
pageserver at a time. This is insufficient for testing failover and
migrations.
- Dependency of writing tests for #5207
## Summary of changes
- `neon_local` and `neon_fixture` now handle multiple pageservers
- This is a breaking change to the `.neon/config` format: any local
environments will need recreating
- Existing tests continue to work unchanged:
- The default number of pageservers is 1
- `NeonEnv.pageserver` is now a helper property that retrieves the first
pageserver if there is only one, else throws.
- Pageserver data directories are now at `.neon/pageserver_{n}` where n
is 1,2,3...
- Compatibility tests get some special casing to migrate neon_local
configs: these are not meant to be backward/forward compatible, but they
were treated that way by the test.
I've moved it to the API handler in the 589cf1ed2 to do not delay
compute start. Yet, we now skip full configuration and catalog updates
in the most hot path -- waking up suspended compute, and only do it at:
- first start
- start with applying new configuration
- start for availability check
so it doesn't really matter anymore.
The problem with creating the table and test record in the API handler
is that someone can fill up timeline till the logical limit. Then it's
suspended and availability check is scheduled, so it fails.
If table + test row are created at the very beginning, we reserve a 8 KB
page for future checks, which theoretically will last almost forever.
For example, my ~1y old branch still has 8 KB sized test table:
```sql
cloud_admin@postgres=# select pg_relation_size('health_check');
pg_relation_size
------------------
8192
(1 row)
```

Don't download ext_index.json from s3, but instead receive it as a part of spec from control plane.
This eliminates s3 access for most compute starts,
and also allows us to update extensions spec on the fly
Add infrastructure to dynamically load postgres extensions and shared libraries from remote extension storage.
Before postgres start downloads list of available remote extensions and libraries, and also downloads 'shared_preload_libraries'. After postgres is running, 'compute_ctl' listens for HTTP requests to load files.
Postgres has new GUC 'extension_server_port' to specify port on which 'compute_ctl' listens for requests.
When PostgreSQL requests a file, 'compute_ctl' downloads it.
See more details about feature design and remote extension storage layout in docs/rfcs/024-extension-loading.md

error is not needed because anyhow will have the cause chain reported
anyways.
related to test_neon_cli_basics being flaky, but doesn't actually fix
any flakyness, just the obvious stray `{e}`.
Compute now uses special safekeeper WAL service port allowing auth tokens with
only tenant scope. Adds understanding of this port to neon_local and fixtures,
as well as test of both ports behaviour with different tokens.

## 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.
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`.

It's more convenient than parsing the postgresql.conf file.
Extracted from PR #3886. I started working on another patch (to make it
safe to run two "neon_local endpoint create" commands concurrently), and
realized that this change will make that simpler too.
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

We use the term "endpoint" in for compute Postgres nodes in the web UI
and user-facing documentation now. Adjust the nomenclature in the code.
This changes the name of the "neon_local pg" command to "neon_local
endpoint". Also adjust names of classes, variables etc. in the python
tests accordingly.
This also changes the directory structure so that endpoints are now
stored in:
.neon/endpoints/<endpoint id>
instead of:
.neon/pgdatadirs/tenants/<tenant_id>/<endpoint (node) name>
The tenant ID is no longer part of the path. That means that you
cannot have two endpoints with the same name/ID in two different
tenants anymore. That's consistent with how we treat endpoints in the
real control plane and proxy: the endpoint ID must be globally unique.
