Add a new 'pageserver_connection_info' field in the compute spec. It
replaces the old 'pageserver_connstring' field with a more complicated
struct that includes both libpq and grpc URLs, for each shard (or only
one of the the URLs, depending on the configuration). It also includes a
flag suggesting which one to use; compute_ctl now uses it to decide
which protocol to use for the basebackup.
This is backwards-compatible with everything that's in production. If
the control plane fills in `pageserver_connection_info`, compute_ctl
uses that. If it fills in the
`pageserver_connstring`/`shard_stripe_size` fields, it uses those. As
last resort, it uses the 'neon.pageserver_connstring' GUC from the list
of Postgres settings.
The 'grpc' flag in the endpoint config is now more of a suggestion, and
it's used to populate the 'prefer_protocol' flag in the compute spec.
Regardless of the flag, compute_ctl gets both URLs, so it can choose to
use libpq or grpc as it wishes. It currently always obeys the flag to
choose which method to use for getting the basebackup, but Postgres
itself will always use the libpq protocol. (That will be changed with
the new rust-based communicator project, which implements the gRPC
client in the compute).
After that, the `pageserver_connection_info.prefer_protocol` flag in the
spec file can be used to control whether compute_ctl uses grpc or libpq.
The actual compute's grpc usage will be controlled by the
`neon.enable_new_communicator` GUC (not yet; that will be introduced in
the future, with the new rust-base communicator project). It can be set
separately from 'prefer_protocol'.
Later:
- Once all old computes are gone, remove the code to pass
`neon.pageserver_connstring`
## Problem
Copy certificate and key from secret mount directory to `pgdata`
directory where `postgres` is the owner and we can set the key
permission to 0600.
## Summary of changes
- Added new pgparam `pg_compute_tls_settings` to specify where k8s
secret for certificate and key are mounted.
- Added a new field to `ComputeSpec` called `databricks_settings`. This
is a struct that will be used to store any other settings that needs to
be propagate to Compute but should not be persisted to `ComputeSpec` in
the database.
- Then when the compute container start up, as part of `prepare_pgdata`
function, it will copied `server.key` and `server.crt` from k8s mounted
directory to `pgdata` directory.
## How is this tested?
Add unit tests.

## Problem
While configuring or reconfiguring PG due to PageServer movements, it's
possible PG may get stuck if PageServer is moved around after fetching
the spec from StorageController.
## Summary of changes
To fix this issue, this PR introduces two changes:
1. Fail the PG query directly if the query cannot request configuration
for certain number of times.
2. Introduce a new state `RefreshConfiguration` in compute tools to
differentiate it from `RefreshConfigurationPending`. If compute tool is
already in `RefreshConfiguration` state, then it will not accept new
request configuration requests.
## How is this tested?
Chaos testing.

## Problem
We have been dealing with a number of issues with the SC compute
notification mechanism. Various race conditions exist in the
PG/HCC/cplane/PS distributed system, and relying on the SC to send
notifications to the compute node to notify it of PS changes is not
robust. We decided to pursue a more robust option where the compute node
itself discovers whether it may be pointing to the incorrect PSs and
proactively reconfigure itself if issues are suspected.
## Summary of changes
To support this self-healing reconfiguration mechanism several pieces
are needed. This PR adds a mechanism to `compute_ctl` called "refresh
configuration", where the compute node reaches out to the control plane
to pull a new config and reconfigure PG using the new config, instead of
listening for a notification message containing a config to arrive from
the control plane. Main changes to compute_ctl:
1. The `compute_ctl` state machine now has a new State,
`RefreshConfigurationPending`. The compute node may enter this state
upon receiving a signal that it may be using the incorrect page servers.
2. Upon entering the `RefreshConfigurationPending` state, the background
configurator thread in `compute_ctl` wakes up, pulls a new config from
the control plane, and reconfigures PG (with `pg_ctl reload`) according
to the new config.
3. The compute node may enter the new `RefreshConfigurationPending`
state from `Running` or `Failed` states. If the configurator managed to
configure the compute node successfully, it will enter the `Running`
state, otherwise, it stays in `RefreshConfigurationPending` and the
configurator thread will wait for the next notification if an incorrect
config is still suspected.
4. Added various plumbing in `compute_ctl` data structures to allow the
configurator thread to perform the config fetch.
The "incorrect config suspected" notification is delivered using a HTTP
endpoint, `/refresh_configuration`, on `compute_ctl`. This endpoint is
currently not called by anyone other than the tests. In a follow up PR I
will set up some code in the PG extension/libpagestore to call this HTTP
endpoint whenever PG suspects that it is pointing to the wrong page
servers.
## How is this tested?
Modified `test_runner/regress/test_change_pageserver.py` to add a
scenario where we use the new `/refresh_configuration` mechanism instead
of the existing `/configure` mechanism (which requires us sending a full
config to compute_ctl) to have the compute node reload and reconfigure
its pageservers.
I took one shortcut to reduce the scope of this change when it comes to
testing: the compute node uses a local config file instead of pulling a
config over the network from the HCC. This simplifies the test setup in
the following ways:
* The existing test framework is set up to use local config files for
compute nodes only, so it's convenient if I just stick with it.
* The HCC today generates a compute config with production settings
(e.g., assuming 4 CPUs, 16GB RAM, with local file caches), which is
probably not suitable in tests. We may need to add another test-only
endpoint config to the control plane to make this work.
The config-fetch part of the code is relatively straightforward (and
well-covered in both production and the KIND test) so it is probably
fine to replace it with loading from the local config file for these
integration tests.
In addition to making sure that the tests pass, I also manually
inspected the logs to make sure that the compute node is indeed
reloading the config using the new mechanism instead of going down the
old `/configure` path (it turns out the test has bugs which causes
compute `/configure` messages to be sent despite the test intending to
disable/blackhole them).

- Accept `ComputeSpec` in `/promote` instead of just passing safekeepers
and LSN. Update API spec
- Add corner case tests for promotion when promotion or perwarm fails
(using failpoints)
- Print root error for prewarm and promotion in status handlers

## Problem
When a pageserver suffers from a local disk/node failure and restarts,
the storage controller will receive a re-attach call and return all the
tenants the pageserver is suppose to attach, but the pageserver will not
act on any tenants that it doesn't know about locally. As a result, the
pageserver will not rehydrate any tenants from remote storage if it
restarted following a local disk loss, while the storage controller
still thinks that the pageserver have all the tenants attached. This
leaves the system in a bad state, and the symptom is that PG's
pageserver connections will fail with "tenant not found" errors.
## Summary of changes
Made a slight change to the storage controller's `re_attach` API:
* The pageserver will set an additional bit `empty_local_disk` in the
reattach request, indicating whether it has started with an empty disk
or does not know about any tenants.
* Upon receiving the reattach request, if this `empty_local_disk` bit is
set, the storage controller will go ahead and clear all observed
locations referencing the pageserver. The reconciler will then discover
the discrepancy between the intended state and observed state of the
tenant and take care of the situation.
To facilitate rollouts this extra behavior in the `re_attach` API is
guarded by the `handle_ps_local_disk_loss` command line flag of the
storage controller.

## Problem
`ShardStripeSize` will be used in the compute spec and internally in the
communicator. It shouldn't require pulling in all of `pageserver_api`.
## Summary of changes
Move `ShardStripeSize` into `utils::shard`, along with other basic shard
types. Also remove the `Default` implementation, to discourage clients
from falling back to a default (it's generally a footgun).
The type is still re-exported from `pageserver_api::shard`, along with
all the other shard types.
## Problem
As reported in #10441 the `control_plane/README/md` incorrectly
specified that `--pg-version` should be specified in the `cargo neon
init` command. This is not the case and causes an invalid argument
error.
## Summary of changes
Fix the README
## Test Plan
I verified that the steps in the README now work locally. I connected to
the started postgres endpoint and executed some basic metadata queries.
## Problem
The force deletion API should behave like the graceful deletion API - it
needs to support cancellation, persistence, and be non-blocking.
## Summary of Changes
- Added a `force` flag to the `NodeStartDelete` command.
- Passed the `force` flag through the `start_node_delete` handler in the
storage controller.
- Handled the `force` flag in the `delete_node` function.
- Set the tombstone after removing the node from memory.
- Minor cleanup, like adding a `get_error_on_cancel` closure.

- Remove a few obsolete "allowed error messages" from tests. The
pageserver doesn't emit those messages anymore.
- Remove misplaced and outdated docstring comment from
`test_tenants.py`. A docstring is supposed to be the first thing in a
function, but we had added some code before it. And it was outdated, as
we haven't supported running without safekeepers for a long time.
- Fix misc typos in comments
- Remove obsolete comment about backwards compatibility with safekeepers
without `TIMELINE_STATUS` API. All safekeepers have it by now.
# TLDR
This PR is a no-op.
## Problem
When a SK loses a disk, it must recover all WALs from the very
beginning. This may take days/weeks to catch up to the latest WALs for
all timelines it owns.
## Summary of changes
When SK starts up,
if it finds that it has 0 timelines,
- it will ask SC for the timeline it owns.
- Then, pulls the timeline from its peer safekeepers to restore the WAL
redundancy right away.
After pulling timeline is complete, it will become active and accepts
new WALs.
The current impl is a prototype. We can optimize the impl further, e.g.,
parallel pull timelines.

# TLDR
Problem-I is a bug fix. The rest are no-ops.
## Problem I
Page server checks image layer creation based on the elapsed time but
this check depends on the current logical size, which is only computed
on shard 0. Thus, for non-0 shards, the check will be ineffective and
image creation will never be done for idle tenants.
## Summary of changes I
This PR fixes the problem by simply removing the dependency on current
logical size.
## Summary of changes II
This PR adds a timeout when calling page server to split shard to make
sure SC does not wait for the API call forever. Currently the PR doesn't
adds any retry logic because it's not clear whether page server shard
split can be safely retried if the existing operation is still ongoing
or left the storage in a bad state. Thus it's better to abort the whole
operation and restart.
## Problem III
`test_remote_failures` requires PS to be compiled in the testing mode.
For PS in dev/staging, they are compiled without this mode.
## Summary of changes III
Remove the restriction and also increase the number of total failures
allowed.
## Summary of changes IV
remove test on PS getpage http route.

## Problem
We have a `safekeeper_migrate` handler, but no subcommand in
`storcon_cli`. Same for `/:timeline_id/locate` for identifying current
set of safekeepers.
- Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/12395
## Summary of changes
- Add `timeline-safekeeper-migrate` and `timeline-locate` subcommands to
`storcon_cli`
After https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/12240 we observed
issues in our go code as `ComputeStatus` is not stateless, thus doesn't
deserialize as string.
```
could not check compute activity: json: cannot unmarshal object into Go struct field
ComputeState.status of type computeclient.ComputeStatus
```
- Fix this by splitting this status into two.
- Update compute OpenApi spec to reflect changes to `/terminate` in
previous PR
This PR introduces a `image_creation_timeout` to page servers so that we
can force the image creation after a certain period. This is set to 1
day on dev/staging for now, and will rollout to production 1/2 weeks
later.
Majority of the PR are boilerplate code to add the new knob. Specific
changes of the PR are:
1. During L0 compaction, check if we should force a compaction if
min(LSN) of all delta layers < force_image_creation LSN.
2. During image creation, check if we should force a compaction if the
image's LSN < force_image_creation LSN and there are newer deltas with
overlapping key ranges.
3. Also tweaked the check image creation interval to make sure we honor
image_creation_timeout.
Vlad's note: This should be a no-op. I added an extra PS config for the
large timeline
threshold to enable this.

- Add ComputeSpec flag `offload_lfc_interval_seconds` controlling
whether LFC should be offloaded to endpoint storage. Default value
(None) means "don't offload".
- Add glue code around it for `neon_local` and integration tests.
- Add `autoprewarm` mode for `test_lfc_prewarm` testing
`offload_lfc_interval_seconds` and `autoprewarm` flags in conjunction.
- Rename `compute_ctl_lfc_prewarm_requests_total` and
`compute_ctl_lfc_offload_requests_total` to
`compute_ctl_lfc_prewarms_total`
and `compute_ctl_lfc_offloads_total` to reflect we count prewarms and
offloads, not `compute_ctl` requests of those.
Don't count request in metrics if there is a prewarm/offload already
ongoing.

## Problem
The current deletion operation is synchronous and blocking, which is
unsuitable for potentially long-running tasks like. In such cases, the
standard HTTP request-response pattern is not a good fit.
## Summary of Changes
- Added new `storcon_cli` commands: `NodeStartDelete` and
`NodeCancelDelete` to initiate and cancel deletion asynchronously.
- Added corresponding `storcon` HTTP handlers to support the new
start/cancel deletion flow.
- Introduced a new type of background operation: `Delete`, to track and
manage the deletion process outside the request lifecycle.

## Problem
#12450
## Summary of changes
Instead of `#[arg(default_value_t = typed_default_value)]`, we use
`#[arg(default_value = "str that deserializes into the value")]`,
because apparently you can't convince clap to _not_ deserialize from the
Display implementation of an imported enum.
## Problem
Previously, the background worker that collects the list of installed
extensions across DBs had a timeout set to 1 hour. This cause a problem
with computes that had a `suspend_timeout` > 1 hour as this collection
was treated as activity, preventing compute shutdown.
Issue: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/30147
## Summary of changes
Passing the `suspend_timeout` as part of the `ComputeSpec` so that any
updates to this are taken into account by the background worker and
updates its collection interval.
## Problem
We don't notify cplane about safekeeper membership change yet. Without
the notification the compute needs to know all the safekeepers on the
cluster to be able to speak to them. Change notifications will allow to
avoid it.
- Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/12188
## Summary of changes
- Implement `notify_safekeepers` method in `ComputeHook`
- Notify cplane about safekeepers in `safekeeper_migrate` handler.
- Update the test to make sure notifications work.
## Out of scope
- There is `cplane_notified_generation` field in `timelines` table in
strocon's database. It's not needed now, so it's not updated in the PR.
Probably we can remove it.
- e2e tests to make sure it works with a production cplane
## Problem
The gRPC API does not provide LSN leases.
## Summary of changes
* Add LSN lease support to the gRPC API.
* Use gRPC LSN leases for static computes with `grpc://` connstrings.
* Move `PageserverProtocol` into the `compute_api::spec` module and
reuse it.
## Problem
- Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/12298
## Summary of changes
- Set `timeline_safekeeper_count` in `neon_local` if we have less than 3
safekeepers
- Remove `cfg!(feature = "testing")` code from
`safekeepers_for_new_timeline`
- Change `timeline_safekeeper_count` type to `usize`
## Problem
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11813
## Summary of changes
It costs $$$ to directly retrieve the feature flags from the pageserver.
Therefore, this patch adds new APIs to retrieve the spec from the
storcon and updates it via pageserver.
* Storcon retrieves the feature flag and send it to the pageservers.
* If the feature flag gets updated outside of the normal refresh loop of
the pageserver, pageserver won't fetch the flags on its own as long as
the last updated time <= refresh_period.

This makes it possible for the compiler to validate that a match block
matched all PostgreSQL versions we support.
## Problem
We did not have a complete picture about which places we had to test
against PG versions, and what format these versions were: The full PG
version ID format (Major/minor/bugfix `MMmmbb`) as transfered in
protocol messages, or only the Major release version (`MM`). This meant
type confusion was rampant.
With this change, it becomes easier to develop new version-dependent
features, by making type and niche confusion impossible.
## Summary of changes
Every use of `pg_version` is now typed as either `PgVersionId` (u32,
valued in decimal `MMmmbb`) or PgMajorVersion (an enum, with a value for
every major version we support, serialized and stored like a u32 with
the value of that major version)

The 1.88.0 stable release is near (this Thursday). We'd like to fix most
warnings beforehand so that the compiler upgrade doesn't require
approval from too many teams.
This is therefore a preparation PR (like similar PRs before it).
There is a lot of changes for this release, mostly because the
`uninlined_format_args` lint has been added to the `style` lint group.
One can read more about the lint
[here](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/#/uninlined_format_args).
The PR is the result of `cargo +beta clippy --fix` and `cargo fmt`. One
remaining warning is left for the proxy team.

## Problem
`Attached(0)` tenant migrations can get stuck if the heatmap file has
not been uploaded.
## Summary of Changes
- Added a test to reproduce the issue.
- Introduced a `kick_secondary_downloads` config flag:
- Enabled in testing environments.
- Disabled in production (and in the new test).
- Updated `Attached(0)` locations to consider the number of secondaries
in their intent when deciding whether to download the heatmap.
## Problem
We need to specify the number of safekeepers for neon_local without
`testing` feature.
Also we need this option for testing different configurations of
safekeeper migration code.
We cannot set it in `neon_fixtures.py` and in the default config of
`neon_local` yet, because it will fail compatibility tests. I'll make a
separate PR with removing `cfg!("testing")` completely and specifying
this option in the config when this option reaches the release branch.
- Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/12298
## Summary of changes
- Add `timeline_safekeeper_count` config option to storcon and
neon_local
- Add optional `?mode=fast|immediate` to `/terminate`, `fast` is
default. Immediate avoids waiting 30
seconds before returning from `terminate`.
- Add `TerminateMode` to `ComputeStatus::TerminationPending`
- Use `/terminate?mode=immediate` in `neon_local` instead of `pg_ctl
stop` for `test_replica_promotes`.
- Change `test_replica_promotes` to check returned LSN
- Annotate `finish_sync_safekeepers` as `noreturn`.

## Problem
`neon_local` should support endpoints using gRPC, by providing `grpc://`
connstrings with the Pageservers' gRPC ports.
Requires #12268.
Touches #11926.
## Summary of changes
* Add `--grpc` switch for `neon_local endpoint create`.
* Generate `grpc://` connstrings for endpoints when enabled.
Computes don't actually support `grpc://` connstrings yet, but will
soon.
gRPC is configured when the endpoint is created, not when it's started,
such that it continues to use gRPC across restarts and reconfigurations.
In particular, this is necessary for the storage controller's local
notify hook, which can't easily plumb through gRPC configuration from
the start/reconfigure commands but has access to the endpoint's
configuration.
## Problem
Pageservers now expose a gRPC API on a separate address and port. This
must be registered with the storage controller such that it can be
plumbed through to the compute via cplane.
Touches #11926.
## Summary of changes
This patch registers the gRPC address and port with the storage
controller:
* Add gRPC address to `nodes` database table and `NodePersistence`, with
a Diesel migration.
* Add gRPC address in `NodeMetadata`, `NodeRegisterRequest`,
`NodeDescribeResponse`, and `TenantLocateResponseShard`.
* Add gRPC address flags to `storcon_cli node-register`.
These changes are backwards-compatible, since all structs will ignore
unknown fields during deserialization.
## Problem
Base64 0.13 is outdated.
## Summary of changes
Update base64 to 0.22. Affects mostly proxy and proxy libs. Also upgrade
serde_with to remove another dep on base64 0.13 from dep tree.
## Problem
Removed nodes can re-add themselves on restart if not properly
tombstoned. We need a mechanism (e.g. soft-delete flag) to prevent this,
especially in cases where the node is unreachable.
More details there: #12036
## Summary of changes
- Introduced `NodeLifecycle` enum to represent node lifecycle states.
- Added a string representation of `NodeLifecycle` to the `nodes` table.
- Implemented node removal using a tombstone mechanism.
- Introduced `/debug/v1/tombstone*` handlers to manage the tombstone
state.
