Part of neondatabase/cloud#12047. Resolves#7239.
In short, this PR:
1. Adds `ComputeSpec.swap_size_bytes: Option<u64>`
2. Adds a flag to compute_ctl: `--resize-swap-on-bind`
3. Implements running `/neonvm/bin/resize-swap` with the value from the
compute spec before starting postgres, if both the value in the spec
*AND* the flag are specified.
4. Adds `sudo` to the final image
5. Adds a file in `/etc/sudoers.d` to allow `compute_ctl` to resize swap
Various bits of reasoning about design decisions in the added comments.
In short: We have both a compute spec field and a flag to make rollout
easier to implement. The flag will most likely be removed as part of
cleanups for neondatabase/cloud#12047.
This is the first step towards representing all of Pageserver
configuration as clean `serde::Serialize`able Rust structs in
`pageserver_api`.
The `neon_local` code will then use those structs instead of the crude
`toml_edit` / string concatenation that it does today.

This pull request adds the scan interface. Scan operates on a sparse
keyspace and retrieves all the key-value pairs from the keyspaces.
Currently, scan only supports the metadata keyspace, and by default do
not retrieve anything from the ancestor branch. This should be fixed in
the future if we need to have some keyspaces that inherits from the
parent.
The scan interface reuses the vectored get code path by disabling the
missing key errors.
This pull request also changes the behavior of vectored get on aux file
v1/v2 key/keyspace: if the key is not found, it is simply not included in the
result, instead of throwing a missing key error.
TODOs in future pull requests: limit memory consumption, ensure the
search stops when all keys are covered by the image layer, remove
`#[allow(dead_code)]` once the code path is used in basebackups / aux
files, remove unnecessary fine-grained keyspace tracking in vectored get
(or have another code path for scan) to improve performance.

We keep the practice of keeping the compiler up to date, pointing to the
latest release. This is done by many other projects in the Rust
ecosystem as well.
Release notes: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/05/02/Rust-1.78.0.html
Prior update was in #7198
The main challenge was in the second commit, as `DownloadStream`
requires the inner to be Sync but the stream returned by the Azure SDK
wasn't Sync.
This left us with three options:
* Change the Azure SDK to return Sync streams. This was abandoned after
we realized that we couldn't just make `TokenCredential`'s returned
future Sync: it uses the `async_trait` macro and as the
`TokenCredential` trait is used in dyn form, one can't use Rust's new
"async fn in Trait" feature.
* Change `DownloadStream` to not require `Sync`. This was abandoned
after it turned into a safekeeper refactoring project.
* Put the stream into a `Mutex` and make it obtain a lock on every poll.
This adds some performance overhead but locks that actually don't do
anything should be comparatively cheap.
We went with the third option in the end as the change still represents
an improvement.
Follow up of #5446 , fixes#5563
We had an incident where pageserver requests timed out because
pageserver couldn't fetch WAL from safekeepers. This incident was caused
by a bug in safekeeper logic for timeline activation, which prevented
pageserver from finding safekeepers.
This bug was since fixed, but there is still a chance of a similar bug
in the future due to overall complexity.
We add a new broker message to "signal interest" for timeline. This
signal will be sent by pageservers `wait_lsn`, and safekeepers will
receive this signal to start broadcasting broker messages. Then every
broker subscriber will be able to find the safekeepers and connect to
them (to start fetching WAL).
This feature is not limited to pageservers and any service that wants to
download WAL from safekeepers will be able to use this discovery
request.
This commit changes pageserver's connection_manager (walreceiver) to
send a SafekeeperDiscoveryRequest when there is no information about
safekeepers present in memory. Current implementation will send these
requests only if there is an active wait_lsn() call and no more often
than once per 10 seconds.
Add `test_broker_discovery` to test this: safekeepers started with
`--disable-periodic-broker-push` will not push info to broker so that
pageserver must use a discovery to start fetching WAL.
Add task_stats in safekeepers broker module to log a warning if there is
no message received from the broker for the last 10 seconds.
Closes#5471

https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7462.
The current codebase assumes the keyspace is dense -- which means that
if we have a keyspace of 0x00-0x100, we assume every key (e.g., 0x00,
0x01, 0x02, ...) exists in the storage engine. However, the assumption
does not hold any more in metadata keyspace. The metadata keyspace is
sparse. It is impossible to do per-key check.
Ideally, we should not have the assumption of dense keyspace at all, but
this would incur a lot of refactors. Therefore, we split the keyspaces
we have to dense/sparse and handle them differently in the code for now.
At some point in the future, we should assume all keyspaces are sparse.
## Summary of changes
* Split collect_keyspace to return dense+sparse keyspace.
* Do not allow generating image layers for sparse keyspace (for now --
will fix this next week, we need image layers anyways).
* Generate delta layers for sparse keyspace.

## Problem
Followup to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6776
While #6776 makes compaction safe on sharded tenants, the logic for
keyspace partitioning remains inefficient: it assumes that the size of
data on a pageserver can be calculated simply as the range between start
and end of a Range -- this is not the case in sharded tenants, where
data within a range belongs to a variety of shards.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6774
## Summary of changes
I experimented with using a sharding-aware range type in KeySpace to
replace all the Range<Key> uses, but the impact on other code was quite
large (many places use the ranges), and not all of them need this
property of being able to approximate the physical size of data within a
key range.
So I compromised on expressing this as a ShardedRange type, but only
using that type selctively: during keyspace repartition, and in tiered
compaction when accumulating key ranges.
- keyspace partitioning methods take sharding parameters as an input
- new `ShardedRange` type wraps a Range<Key> and a shard identity
- ShardedRange::page_count is the shard-aware replacement for
key_range_size
- Callers that don't need to be shard-aware (e.g. vectored get code that
just wants to count the number of keys in a keyspace) can use
ShardedRange::raw_size to get the faster, shard-naive code (same as old
`key_range_size`)
- Compaction code is updated to carry a shard identity so that it can
use shard aware calculations
- Unit tests for the new fragmentation logic.
- Add a test for compaction on sharded tenants, that validates that we
generate appropriately sized image layers (this fails before fixing
keyspace partitioning)
## Problem
Sometimes we have test data in the form of S3 contents that we would
like to run live in a neon_local environment.
## Summary of changes
- Add a storage controller API that imports an existing tenant.
Currently this is equivalent to doing a create with a high generation
number, but in future this would be something smarter to probe S3 to
find the shards in a tenant and find generation numbers.
- Add a `neon_local` command that invokes the import API, and then
inspects timelines in the newly attached tenant to create matching
branches.

https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7462.
In the page server, we use i128 (instead of u128) to do the integer
representation of the key, which indicates that the highest bit of the
key should not be 1. This constraints our keyspace to <= 0x7F.
Also fix the bug of `to_i128` that dropped the highest 4b. Now we keep
3b of them, dropping the sign bit.
And on that, we shrink the metadata keyspace to 0x60-0x7F for now, and
once we add support for u128, we can have a larger metadata keyspace.

Changing metadata format is not easy. This pull request adds a
tenant-level flag on whether to enable aux file v2. As long as we don't
roll this out to the user and guarantee our staging projects can persist
tenant config correctly, we can test the aux file v2 change with setting
this flag. Previous discussion at
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7424.

In the old protocol version, the client sent with each request:
- latest: bool. If true, the client requested the latest page
version, and the 'lsn' was just a hint of when the page was last
modified
- lsn: Lsn, the page version to return
This protocol didn't allow requesting a page at a particular
non-latest LSN and *also* sending a hint on when the page was last
modified. That put a read only compute into an awkward position where
it had to either request each page at the replay-LSN, which could be
very close to the last LSN written in the primary and therefore
require the pageserver to wait for it to arrive, or an older LSN which
could already be garbage collected in the pageserver, resulting in an
error. The new protocol version fixes that by allowing a read only
compute to send both LSNs.
To use the new protocol version, use "pagestream_v2" command instead
of just "pagestream". The old protocol version is still supported, for
compatibility with old computes (and in fact there is no client
support yet, it is added by the next commit).
## Problem
We are currently supporting two read paths. No bueno.
## Summary of changes
High level: use vectored read path to serve get page requests - gated by
`get_impl` config
Low level:
1. Add ps config, `get_impl` to specify which read path to use when
serving get page requests
2. Fix base cached image handling for the vectored read path. This was
subtly broken: previously we
would not mark keys that went past their cached lsn as complete. This is
a self standing change which
could be its own PR, but I've included it here because writing separate
tests for it is tricky.
3. Fork get page to use either the legacy or vectored implementation
4. Validate the use of vectored read path when serving get page requests
against the legacy implementation.
Controlled by `validate_vectored_get` ps config.
5. Use the vectored read path to serve get page requests in tests (with
validation).
## Note
Since the vectored read path does not go through the page cache to read
buffers, this change also amounts to a removal of the buffer page cache. Materialized page cache
is still used.
Currently we move data to the intended storage class via lifecycle
rules, but those are a daily batch job so data first spends up to a day
in standard storage.
Therefore, make it possible to specify the storage class used for
uploads to S3 so that the data doesn't have to be migrated
automatically.
The advantage of this is that it gives cleaner billing reports.

## Problem
If the previous step of the vectored left no further keyspace to
investigate (i.e. keyspace remains empty after removing keys completed in the previous step),
then we'd still grab the layers lock, potentially add an in-mem layer to the fringe
and at some further point read its index without reading any values from it.
## Summary of changes
If there's nothing left in the current keyspace, then skip the search
and just select the next item from the fringe as usual.
When running `test_pg_regress[release-pg16]` with the vectored read path
for singular gets this improved perf drastically (see PR cover letter).
## Correctness
Since no keys remained from the previous range (i.e. we are on a leaf
node) there's nothing that search can find in deeper nodes.
## Problem
Split off from https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7399, which is
the first piece of code that does a WithDelimiter object listing using a
prefix that isn't a full directory name.
## Summary of changes
- Revise list function to not append a `/` to the prefix -- prefixes
don't have to end with a slash.
- Fix local_fs implementation of list to not assume that WithDelimiter
case will always use a directory as a prerfix.
- Remove `list_files`, `list_prefixes` wrappers, as they add little
value and obscure the underlying list function -- we need callers to
understand the semantics of what they're really calling (listobjectsv2)
Extracted from https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7375. We assume
everything >= 0x80 are metadata keys. AUX file keys are part of the
metadata keys, and we use `0x90` as the prefix for AUX file keys.
The AUX file encoding is described in the code comment. We use xxhash128
as the hash algorithm. It seems to be portable according to the
introduction,
> xxHash is an Extremely fast Hash algorithm, processing at RAM speed
limits. Code is highly portable, and produces hashes identical across
all platforms (little / big endian).
...though whether the Rust version follows the same convention is
unknown and might need manual review of the library. Anyways, we can
always change the hash algorithm before rolling it out in
staging/end-user, and I made a quick decision to use xxhash here because
it generates 128b hash + portable. We can save the discussion of which
hash algorithm to use later.

## Problem
Vectored get would descend into ancestor timelines for aux files.
This is not the behaviour of the legacy read path and blocks cutting
over to the vectored read path.
Fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7379
## Summary of Changes
Treat non inherited keys specially in vectored get. At the point when
we want to descend into the ancestor mark all pending non inherited keys
as errored out at the key level. Note that this diverges from the
standard vectored get behaviour for missing keys which is a top level
error. This divergence is required to avoid blocking compaction in case
such an error is encountered when compaction aux files keys. I'm pretty
sure the bug I just described predates the vectored get implementation,
but it's still worth fixing.
## Problem
- #7451
INIT_FORKNUM blocks must be stored on shard 0 to enable including them
in basebackup.
This issue can be missed in simple tests because creating an unlogged
table isn't sufficient -- to repro I had to create an _index_ on an
unlogged table (then restart the endpoint).
Closes: #7451
## Summary of changes
- Add a reproducer for the issue.
- Tweak the condition for `key_is_shard0` to include anything that isn't
a normal relation block _and_ any normal relation block whose forknum is
INIT_FORKNUM.
- To enable existing databases to recover from the issue, add a special
case that omits relations if they were stored on the wrong INITFORK.
This enables postgres to start and the user to drop the table and
recreate it.
There were two issues with the test at page boundaries:
1. If the first logical message with 10 bytes payload crossed a page
boundary, the calculated 'base_size' was too large because it included
the page header.
2. If it was inserted near the end of a page so that there was not
enough room for another one, we did "remaining_lsn += XLOG_BLCKSZ" but
that didn't take into account the page headers either.
As a result, the test would fail if the WAL insert position at the
beginning of the test was too close to the end of a WAL page. Fix the
calculations by repeating the 10-byte logical message if the starting
position is not suitable.
I bumped into this with PR #7377; it changed the arguments of a few SQL
functions in neon_test_utils extension, which changed the WAL positions
slightly, and caused a test failure.
This is similar to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7436, but
for different test.
As noted in the comment, the craft_internal() function fails if the
inserted WAL happens to land at page boundary. I bumped into that with
PR #7377; it changed the arguments of a few SQL functions in
neon_test_utils extension, which changed the WAL positions slightly, and
caused a test failure.
#7030 introduced an annoying papercut, deeming a failure to acquire a
strong reference to `LayerInner` from `DownloadedLayer::drop` as a
canceled eviction. Most of the time, it wasn't that, but just timeline
deletion or tenant detach with the layer not wanting to be deleted or
evicted.
When a Layer is dropped as part of a normal shutdown, the `Layer` is
dropped first, and the `DownloadedLayer` the second. Because of this, we
cannot detect eviction being canceled from the `DownloadedLayer::drop`.
We can detect it from `LayerInner::drop`, which this PR adds.
Test case is added which before had 1 started eviction, 2 canceled. Now
it accurately finds 1 started, 1 canceled.
Before this PR, the `nix::poll::poll` call would stall the executor.
This PR refactors the `walredo::process` module to allow for different
implementations, and adds a new `async` implementation which uses
`tokio::process::ChildStd{in,out}` for IPC.
The `sync` variant remains the default for now; we'll do more testing in
staging and gradual rollout to prod using the config variable.
Performance
-----------
I updated `bench_walredo.rs`, demonstrating that a single `async`-based
walredo manager used by N=1...128 tokio tasks has lower latency and
higher throughput.
I further did manual less-micro-benchmarking in the real pageserver
binary.
Methodology & results are published here:
https://neondatabase.notion.site/2024-04-08-async-walredo-benchmarking-8c0ed3cc8d364a44937c4cb50b6d7019?pvs=4
tl;dr:
- use pagebench against a pageserver patched to answer getpage request &
small-enough working set to fit into PS PageCache / kernel page cache.
- compare knee in the latency/throughput curve
- N tenants, each 1 pagebench clients
- sync better throughput at N < 30, async better at higher N
- async generally noticable but not much worse p99.X tail latencies
- eyeballing CPU efficiency in htop, `async` seems significantly more
CPU efficient at ca N=[0.5*ncpus, 1.5*ncpus], worse than `sync` outside
of that band
Mental Model For Walredo & Scheduler Interactions
-------------------------------------------------
Walredo is CPU-/DRAM-only work.
This means that as soon as the Pageserver writes to the pipe, the
walredo process becomes runnable.
To the Linux kernel scheduler, the `$ncpus` executor threads and the
walredo process thread are just `struct task_struct`, and it will divide
CPU time fairly among them.
In `sync` mode, there are always `$ncpus` runnable `struct task_struct`
because the executor thread blocks while `walredo` runs, and the
executor thread becomes runnable when the `walredo` process is done
handling the request.
In `async` mode, the executor threads remain runnable unless there are
no more runnable tokio tasks, which is unlikely in a production
pageserver.
The above means that in `sync` mode, there is an implicit concurrency
limit on concurrent walredo requests (`$num_runtimes *
$num_executor_threads_per_runtime`).
And executor threads do not compete in the Linux kernel scheduler for
CPU time, due to the blocked-runnable-ping-pong.
In `async` mode, there is no concurrency limit, and the walredo tasks
compete with the executor threads for CPU time in the kernel scheduler.
If we're not CPU-bound, `async` has a pipelining and hence throughput
advantage over `sync` because one executor thread can continue
processing requests while a walredo request is in flight.
If we're CPU-bound, under a fair CPU scheduler, the *fixed* number of
executor threads has to share CPU time with the aggregate of walredo
processes.
It's trivial to reason about this in `sync` mode due to the
blocked-runnable-ping-pong.
In `async` mode, at 100% CPU, the system arrives at some (potentially
sub-optiomal) equilibrium where the executor threads get just enough CPU
time to fill up the remaining CPU time with runnable walredo process.
Why `async` mode Doesn't Limit Walredo Concurrency
--------------------------------------------------
To control that equilibrium in `async` mode, one may add a tokio
semaphore to limit the number of in-flight walredo requests.
However, the placement of such a semaphore is non-trivial because it
means that tasks queuing up behind it hold on to their request-scoped
allocations.
In the case of walredo, that might be the entire reconstruct data.
We don't limit the number of total inflight Timeline::get (we only
throttle admission).
So, that queue might lead to an OOM.
The alternative is to acquire the semaphore permit *before* collecting
reconstruct data.
However, what if we need to on-demand download?
A combination of semaphores might help: one for reconstruct data, one
for walredo.
The reconstruct data semaphore permit is dropped after acquiring the
walredo semaphore permit.
This scheme effectively enables both a limit on in-flight reconstruct
data and walredo concurrency.
However, sizing the amount of permits for the semaphores is tricky:
- Reconstruct data retrieval is a mix of disk IO and CPU work.
- If we need to do on-demand downloads, it's network IO + disk IO + CPU
work.
- At this time, we have no good data on how the wall clock time is
distributed.
It turns out that, in my benchmarking, the system worked fine without a
semaphore. So, we're shipping async walredo without one for now.
Future Work
-----------
We will do more testing of `async` mode and gradual rollout to prod
using the config flag.
Once that is done, we'll remove `sync` mode to avoid the temporary code
duplication introduced by this PR.
The flag will be removed.
The `wait()` for the child process to exit is still synchronous; the
comment [here](
655d3b6468/pageserver/src/walredo.rs (L294-L306))
is still a valid argument in favor of that.
The `sync` mode had another implicit advantage: from tokio's
perspective, the calling task was using up coop budget.
But with `async` mode, that's no longer the case -- to tokio, the writes
to the child process pipe look like IO.
We could/should inform tokio about the CPU time budget consumed by the
task to achieve fairness similar to `sync`.
However, the [runtime function for this is
`tokio_unstable`](`https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/task/fn.consume_budget.html).

## Summary of changes
Replace prometheus with my new measured crate in proxy only.
Apologies for the large diff. I tried to keep it as minimal as I could.
The label types add a bit of boiler plate (but reduce the chance we
mistype the labels), and some of our custom metrics like CounterPair and
HLL needed to be rewritten.
## Problem

Created a new module `utils::serde_system_time` and inside it a wrapper
type `SystemTime` for `std::time::SystemTime` that
serializes/deserializes to the RFC3339 format.
This new type is then used in the two places that were previously using
the helper for serialization, thereby eliminating the need to decorate
structs.

NEON_PAGESERVER_USE_ONE_RUNTIME=multi_thread:default ./target/debug/neon_local start
```
I want to use this change to do more manualy testing and potentially
testing in staging.
Future Work
-----------
Testing / deployment ergonomics would be better if this were a variable
in `pageserver.toml`.
It can be done, but, I don't need it right now, so let's stick with the
env var.
The binary etc were renamed some time ago, but the path in the source
tree remained "attachment_service" to avoid disruption to ongoing PRs.
There aren't any big PRs out right now, so it's a good time to cut over.
- Rename `attachment_service` to `storage_controller`
- Move it to the top level for symmetry with `storage_broker` & to avoid
mixing the non-prod neon_local stuff (`control_plane/`) with the storage
controller which is a production component.
Updates the `test-context` dev-dependency of the `remote_storage` crate
to 0.3. This removes a lot of `async_trait` instances.

Add support for backing up partial segments to remote storage. Disabled
by default, can be enabled with `--partial-backup-enabled`.
Safekeeper timeline has a background task which is subscribed to
`commit_lsn` and `flush_lsn` updates. After the partial segment was
updated (`flush_lsn` was changed), the segment will be uploaded to S3 in
about 15 minutes.
The filename format for partial segments is
`Segment_Term_Flush_Commit_skNN.partial`, where:
- `Segment` – the segment name, like `000000010000000000000001`
- `Term` – current term
- `Flush` – flush_lsn in hex format `{:016X}`, e.g. `00000000346BC568`
- `Commit` – commit_lsn in the same hex format
- `NN` – safekeeper_id, like `1`
The full object name example:
`000000010000000000000002_2_0000000002534868_0000000002534410_sk1.partial`
Each safekeeper will keep info about remote partial segments in its
control file. Code updates state in the control file before doing any S3
operations. This way control file stores information about all
potentially existing remote partial segments and can clean them up after
uploading a newer version.

We want to move the code base away from task_mgr.
This PR refactors the walreceiver code such that it doesn't use
`task_mgr` anymore.
# Background
As a reminder, there are three tasks in a Timeline that's ingesting WAL.
`WalReceiverManager`, `WalReceiverConnectionHandler`, and
`WalReceiverConnectionPoller`.
See the documentation in `task_mgr.rs` for how they interact.
Before this PR, cancellation was requested through
task_mgr::shutdown_token() and `TaskHandle::shutdown`.
Wait-for-task-finish was implemented using a mixture of
`task_mgr::shutdown_tasks` and `TaskHandle::shutdown`.
This drawing might help:
<img width="300" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/assets/956573/b6be7ad6-ecb3-41d0-b410-ec85cb8d6d20">
# Changes
For cancellation, the entire WalReceiver task tree now has a
`child_token()` of `Timeline::cancel`. The `TaskHandle` no longer is a
cancellation root.
This means that `Timeline::cancel.cancel()` is propagated.
For wait-for-task-finish, all three tasks in the task tree hold the
`Timeline::gate` open until they exit.
The downside of using the `Timeline::gate` is that we can no longer wait
for just the walreceiver to shut down, which is particularly relevant
for `Timeline::flush_and_shutdown`.
Effectively, it means that we might ingest more WAL while the
`freeze_and_flush()` call is ongoing.
Also, drive-by-fix the assertiosn around task kinds in `wait_lsn`. The
check for `WalReceiverConnectionHandler` was ineffective because that
never was a task_mgr task, but a TaskHandle task. Refine the assertion
to check whether we would wait, and only fail in that case.
# Alternatives
I contemplated (ab-)using the `Gate` by having a separate `Gate` for
`struct WalReceiver`.
All the child tasks would use _that_ gate instead of `Timeline::gate`.
And `struct WalReceiver` itself would hold an `Option<GateGuard>` of the
`Timeline::gate`.
Then we could have a `WalReceiver::stop` function that closes the
WalReceiver's gate, then drops the `WalReceiver::Option<GateGuard>`.
However, such design would mean sharing the WalReceiver's `Gate` in an
`Arc`, which seems awkward.
A proper abstraction would be to make gates hierarchical, analogous to
CancellationToken.
In the end, @jcsp and I talked it over and we determined that it's not
worth the effort at this time.

## Problem
During incidents, we may need to quickly access the storage controller's
API without trying API client code or crafting `curl` CLIs on the fly. A
basic CLI client is needed for this.
## Summary of changes
- Update storage controller node listing API to only use public types in
controller_api.rs
- Add a storage controller API for listing tenants
- Add a basic test that the CLI can list and modify nodes and tenants.
## Problem
Part of the legacy (but current) compaction algorithm is to find a stack
of overlapping delta layers which will be turned
into an image layer. This operation is exponential in terms of the
number of matching layers and we do it roughly every 20 seconds.
## Summary of changes
Only check if a new image layer is required if we've ingested a certain
amount of WAL since the last check.
The amount of wal is expressed in terms of multiples of checkpoint
distance, with the intuition being that
that there's little point doing the check if we only have two new L1
layers (not enough to create a new image).
## Problem
In the event of bugs with scheduling or reconciliation, we need to be
able to switch this off at a per-tenant granularity.
This is intended to mitigate risk of issues with
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7181, which makes scheduling
more involved.
Closes: #7103
## Summary of changes
- Introduce a scheduling policy per tenant, with API to set it
- Refactor persistent.rs helpers for updating tenants to be more general
- Add tests
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/9642
## Summary of changes
1. Make `EndpointRateLimiter` generic, renamed as `BucketRateLimiter`
2. Add support for claiming multiple tokens at once
3. Add `AuthRateLimiter` alias.
4. Check `(Endpoint, IP)` pair during authentication, weighted by how
many hashes proxy would be doing.
TODO: handle ipv6 subnets. will do this in a separate PR.
Postgres can always write some more WAL, so previous checks that WAL doesn't
change after something had been crafted were wrong; remove them. Add comments
here and there.

Release notes: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/03/21/Rust-1.77.0.html
Thanks to #6886 the diff is reasonable, only for one new lint
`clippy::suspicious_open_options`. I added `truncate()` calls to the
places where it is obviously the right choice to me, and added allows
everywhere else, leaving it for followups.
I had to specify cargo install --locked because the build would fail otherwise.
This was also recommended by upstream.
This change improves the resilience of the system to unclean restarts.
Previously, re-attach responses only included attached tenants
- If the pageserver had local state for a secondary location, it would
remain, but with no guarantee that it was still _meant_ to be there.
After this change, the pageserver will only retain secondary locations
if the /re-attach response indicates that they should still be there.
- If the pageserver had local state for an attached location that was
omitted from a re-attach response, it would be entirely detached. This
is wasteful in a typical HA setup, where an offline node's tenants might
have been re-attached elsewhere before it restarts, but the offline
node's location should revert to a secondary location rather than being
wiped. Including secondary tenants in the re-attach response enables the
pageserver to avoid throwing away local state unnecessarily.
In this PR:
- The re-attach items are extended with a 'mode' field.
- Storage controller populates 'mode'
- Pageserver interprets it (default is attached if missing) to construct
either a SecondaryTenant or a Tenant.
- A new test exercises both cases.
## Problem
Storage controller had basically no metrics.
## Summary of changes
1. Migrate the existing metrics to use Conrad's
[`measured`](https://docs.rs/measured/0.0.14/measured/) crate.
2. Add metrics for incoming http requests
3. Add metrics for outgoing http requests to the pageserver
4. Add metrics for outgoing pass through requests to the pageserver
5. Add metrics for database queries
Note that the metrics response for the attachment service does not use
chunked encoding like the rest of the metrics endpoints. Conrad has
kindly extended the crate such that it can now be done. Let's leave it
for a follow-up since the payload shouldn't be that big at this point.
Fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6875
This is a mixed bag of changes split out for separate review while
working on other things, and batched together to reduce load on CI
runners. Each commits stands alone for review purposes:
- do_tenant_shard_split was a long function and had a synchronous
validation phase at the start that could readily be pulled out into a
separate function. This also avoids the special casing of
ApiError::BadRequest when deciding whether an abort is needed on errors
- Add a 'describe' API (GET on tenant ID) that will enable storcon-cli
to see what's going on with a tenant
- the 'locate' API wasn't really meant for use in the field. It's for
tests: demote it to the /debug/ prefix
- The `Single` placement policy was a redundant duplicate of Double(0),
and Double was a bad name. Rename it Attached.
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7107)
- Some neon_local commands were added for debug/demos, which are now
replaced by commands in storcon-cli (#7114 ). Even though that's not
merged yet, we don't need the neon_local ones any more.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7107
## Backward compat of Single/Double -> `Attached(n)` change
A database migration is used to convert any existing values.
