Nightly has added a bunch of compiler and linter warnings. There is also
two dependencies that fail compilation on latest nightly due to using
the old `stdsimd` feature name. This PR fixes them.
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6283 I did a couple changes
that weren't directly related to the goal of extracting the state
machine, so I'm putting them here
## Summary of changes
- move postgres vs console provider into another enum
- reduce error cases for link auth
- slightly refactor link flow
## Problem
It took me a while to understand the purpose of all the tasks spawned in
the main functions.
## Summary of changes
Utilising the type system and less macros, plus much more comments,
document the shutdown procedure of each task in detail
Prod logs have deep accidential span nesting. Introduced in #3759 and
has been untouched since, maybe no one watches proxy logs? :) I found it
by accident when looking to see if proxy logs have ansi colors with
`{neon_service="proxy"}`.
The solution is to mostly stop using `Span::enter` or `Span::entered` in
async code. Kept on `Span::entered` in cancel on shutdown related path.
- Add support for splitting async postgres_backend into read and write halfes.
Safekeeper needs this for bidirectional streams. To this end, encapsulate
reading-writing postgres messages to framed.rs with split support without any
additional changes (relying on BufRead for reading and BytesMut out buffer for
writing).
- Use async postgres_backend throughout safekeeper (and in proxy auth link
part).
- In both safekeeper COPY streams, do read-write from the same thread/task with
select! for easier error handling.
- Tidy up finishing CopyBoth streams in safekeeper sending and receiving WAL
-- join split parts back catching errors from them before returning.
Initially I hoped to do that read-write without split at all, through polling
IO:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/3522
However that turned out to be more complicated than I initially expected
due to 1) borrow checking and 2) anon Future types. 1) required Rc<Refcell<...>>
which is Send construct just to satisfy the checker; 2) can be workaround with
transmute. But this is so messy that I decided to leave split.
To untie cyclic dependency between sync and async versions of postgres_backend,
copy QueryError and some logging/error routines to postgres_backend.rs. This is
temporal glue to make commits smaller, sync version will be dropped by the
upcoming commit completely.
On the surface, this doesn't add much, but there are some benefits:
* We can do graceful shutdowns and thus record more code coverage data.
* We now have a foundation for the more interesting behaviors, e.g. "stop
accepting new connections after SIGTERM but keep serving the existing ones".
* We give the otel machinery a chance to flush trace events before
finally shutting down.
This patch adds a timed LRU cache implementation and a compute node info cache on top of that.
Cache entries might expire on their own (default ttl=5mins) or become invalid due to real-world events,
e.g. compute node scale-to-zero event, so we add a connection retry loop with a wake-up call.
Solved problems:
- [x] Find a decent LRU implementation.
- [x] Implement timed LRU on top of that.
- [x] Cache results of `proxy_wake_compute` API call.
- [x] Don't invalidate newer cache entries for the same key.
- [x] Add cmdline configuration knobs (requires some refactoring).
- [x] Add failed connection estab metric.
- [x] Refactor auth backends to make things simpler (retries, cache
placement, etc).
- [x] Address review comments (add code comments + cleanup).
- [x] Retry `/proxy_wake_compute` if we couldn't connect to a compute
(e.g. stalled cache entry).
- [x] Add high-level description for `TimedLru`.
TODOs (will be addressed later):
- [ ] Add cache metrics (hit, spurious hit, miss).
- [ ] Synchronize http requests across concurrent per-client tasks
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/3331#issuecomment-1399216069).
- [ ] Cache results of `proxy_get_role_secret` API call.
