When deploying new safekeepers, we don't immediately want to send
traffic to them. Maybe they are not ready yet by the time the deploy
script is registering them with the storage controller.
For pageservers, the storcon solves the problem by not scheduling stuff
to them unless there has been a positive heartbeat response. We can't do
the same for safekeepers though, otherwise a single down safekeeper
would mean we can't create new timelines in smaller regions where there
is only three safekeepers in total.
So far we have created safekeepers as `pause` but this adds a manual
step to safekeeper deployment which is prone to oversight. We want
things to be automatted. So we introduce a new state `activating` that
acts just like `pause`, except that we automatically transition the
policy to `active` once we get a positive heartbeat from the safekeeper.
For `pause`, we always keep the safekeeper paused.
## Problem
Currently, if `storcon` (storage controller) reconciliations repeatedly
fail, the system will indefinitely freeze optimizations. This can result
in optimization starvation for several days until the reconciliation
issues are manually resolved. To mitigate this, we should detect
persistently failing reconciliations and exclude them from influencing
the optimization decision.
## Summary of Changes
- A tenant shard reconciliation is now considered "keep-failing" if it
fails 5 consecutive times. These failures are excluded from the
optimization readiness check.
- Added a new metric: `storage_controller_keep_failing_reconciles` to
monitor such cases.
- Added a warning log message when a reconciliation is marked as
"keep-failing".

Make the safekeeper `pull_timeline` endpoint support timelines that
haven't had any writes yet. In the storcon managed sk timelines world,
if a safekeeper goes down temporarily, the storcon will schedule a
`pull_timeline` call. There is no guarantee however that by when the
safekeeper is online again, there have been writes to the timeline yet.
The `snapshot` endpoint gives an error if the timeline hasn't had
writes, so we avoid calling it if `timeline_start_lsn` indicates a
freshly created timeline.

## 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
If a shard split fails and must roll back, the tenant may hit a cold
start as the parent shard's files have already been removed from local
disk.
External contribution with minor adjustments, see
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C08TE3203RQ/p1748246398269309.
## Summary of changes
Keep the parent shard's files on local disk until the split has been
committed, such that they are available if the spilt is rolled back. If
all else fails, the files will be removed on the next Pageserver
restart.
This should also be fine in a mixed version:
* New storcon, old Pageserver: the Pageserver will delete the files
during the split, storcon will log an error when the cleanup detach
fails.
* Old storcon, new Pageserver: the Pageserver will leave the parent's
files around until the next Pageserver restart.
The change looks good to me, but shard splits are delicate so I'd like
some extra eyes on this.
## 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.
The `test_storcon_create_delete_sk_down` test is still flaky. This test
addresses two possible causes for flakiness. both causes are related to
deletion racing with `pull_timeline` which hasn't finished yet.
* the first cause is timeline deletion racing with `pull_timeline`:
* the first deletion attempt doesn't contain the line because the
timeline doesn't exist yet
* the subsequent deletion attempts don't contain it either, only a note
that the timeline is already deleted.
* so this patch adds the note that the timeline is already deleted to
the regex
* the second cause is about tenant deletion racing with `pull_timeline`:
* there were no tenant specific tombstones so if a tenant was deleted,
we only added tombstones for the specific timelines being deleted, not
for the tenant itself.
* This patch changes this, so we now have tenant specific tombstones as
well as timeline specific ones, and creation of a timeline checks both.
* we also don't see any retries of the tenant deletion in the logs. once
it's done it's done. so extend the regex to contain the tenant deletion
message as well.
One could wonder why the regex and why not using the API to check
whether the timeline is just "gone". The issue with the API is that it
doesn't allow one to distinguish between "deleted" and "has never
existed", and latter case might race with `pull_timeline`. I.e. the
second case flakiness helped in the discovery of a real bug (no tenant
tombstones), so the more precise check was helpful.
Before, I could easily reproduce 2-9 occurences of flakiness when
running the test with an additional `range(128)` parameter (i.e. 218
times 4 times). With this patch, I ran it three times, not a single
failure.
Fixes#11838
Some tests still explicitly specify version 3 of the safekeeper
walproposer protocol. Remove the explicit opt in from the tests as v3 is
the default now since #11518.
We don't touch the places where a test exercises both v2 and v3. Those
we leave for #12021.

## Problem
We saw the following scenario in staging:
1. Pod A starts up. Becomes leader and steps down the previous pod
cleanly.
2. Pod B starts up (deployment).
3. Step down request from pod B to pod A times out. Pod A did not manage
to stop its reconciliations within 10 seconds and exited with return
code 1
([code](7ba8519b43/storage_controller/src/service.rs (L8686-L8702))).
4. Pod B marks itself as the leader and finishes start-up
5. k8s restarts pod A
6. k8s marks pod B as ready
7. pod A sends step down request to pod A - this succeeds => pod A is
now the leader
8. k8s kills pod A because it thinks pod B is healthy and pod A is part
of the old replica set
We end up in a situation where the only pod we have (B) is stepped down
and attempts to forward requests to a leader that doesn't exist. k8s
can't detect that pod B is in a bad state since the /status endpoint
simply returns 200 hundred if the pod is running.
## Summary of changes
This PR includes a number of robustness improvements to the leadership
protocol:
* use a single step down task per controller
* add a new endpoint to be used as k8s liveness probe and check
leadership status there
* handle restarts explicitly (i.e. don't step yourself down)
* increase the step down retry count
* don't kill the process on long step down since k8s will just restart
it
In tests and when one safekeeper is down in small regions, we need to
contend with one or two safekeepers. Before, we gave an error in
`safekeepers_for_new_timeline`. Now we just silently allow the timeline
to be created on one or two safekeepers.
Part of #9011
## Problem
test_storage_controller_heartbeats is flaky because of unallowed
reconciler errors (#11625)
## Summary of changes
Allow reconcile errors as in other tests in test_storage_controller.py.
This delivers some additional fixes and improvements to storcon managed
safekeeper timelines:
* use `i32::MAX` for the generation number of timeline deletion
* start the generation for new timelines at 1 instead of 0: this ensures
that the other components actually are generation enabled
* fix database operations we use for metrics
* use join in list_pending_ops to prevent the classical ORM issue where
one does many db queries
* use enums in `test_storcon_create_delete_sk_down`. we are adding a
second parameter, and having two bool parameters is weird.
* extend `test_storcon_create_delete_sk_down` with a test of whole
tenant deletion. this hasn't been tested before.
* remove some redundant logging contexts
* Don't require mutable access to the service lock for scheduling
pending ops in memory. In order to pull this off, create reconcilers
eagerly. The advantage is that we don't need mutable access to the
service lock that way any more.

## Problem
The graceful leadership transfer process involves calling step_down on
the old controller, but this was not waiting for shard splits to
complete, and the new controller could therefore end up trying to abort
a shard split while it was still going on.
We mitigated this already in #11256 by avoiding the case where shard
split completion would update the database incorrectly, but this was a
fragile fix because it assumes that is the only problematic part of the
split running concurrently.
Precursors:
- #11290
- #11256Closes: #11254
## Summary of changes
- Hold the reconciler gate from shard splits, so that step_down will
wait for them. Splits should always be fairly prompt, so it is okay to
wait here.
- Defense in depth: if step_down times out (hardcoded 10 second limit),
then fully terminate the controller process rather than letting it
continue running, potentially doing split-brainy things. This makes
sense because the new controller will always declare itself leader
unilaterally if step_down fails, so leaving an old controller running is
not beneficial.
- Tests: extend
`test_storage_controller_leadership_transfer_during_split` to separately
exercise the case of a split holding up step_down, and the case where
the overall timeout on step_down is hit and the controller terminates.
## Problem
The current stripe size of 256 MB is a bit large, and can cause load
imbalances across shards. A stripe size of 16 MB appears more reasonable
to avoid hotspots, although we don't see evidence of this in benchmarks.

Unrelated changes: gate a `rename_noreplace` feature and disable it in
`remote_storage` so as `object_storage` can be built with musl
Adds a test `test_storcon_create_delete_sk_down` which tests the
reconciler and pending op persistence if faced with a temporary
safekeeper downtime during timeline creation or deletion. This is in
contrast to `test_explicit_timeline_creation_storcon`, which tests the
happy path.
We also do some fixes:
* timeline and tenant deletion http requests didn't expect a body, but
`()` sent one.
* we got the tenant deletion http request's return type wrong: it's
supposed to be a hash map
* we add some logging to improve observability
* We fix `list_pending_ops` which had broken code meant to make it
possible to restrict oneself to a single pageserver. But diesel doesn't
support that sadly, or at least I couldn't figure out a way to make it
work. We don't need that functionality, so remove it.
* We add an info span to the heartbeater futures with the node id, so
that there is no context-free msgs like "Backoff: waiting 1.1 seconds
before processing with the task" in the storcon logs. we could also add
the full base url of the node but don't do it as most other log lines
contain that information already, and if we do duplication it should at
least not be verbose. One can always find out the base url from the node
id.

## Problem
Previously, if the observed state was refreshed and matching the intent,
we wouldn't send
a compute notification. This is unsafe. There's no guarantee that the
location landed on the
pageserver _and_ a compute notification for it was delivered.
See
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11291#issuecomment-2743205411
for one such example.
## Summary of changes
Add a reproducer and notify the compute if the correct observed state
required a refresh.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11291
## Problem
`TYPE_CHECKING` is used inconsistently across Python tests.
## Summary of changes
- Update `ruff`: 0.7.0 -> 0.11.2
- Enable TC (flake8-type-checking):
https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/#flake8-type-checking-tc
- (auto)fix all new issues
## Problem
While working on bulk import, I want to use the `control-plane-url` flag
for a different request.
Currently, the local compute hook is used whenever no control plane is
specified in the config.
My test requires local compute notifications and a configured
`control-plane-url` which isn't supported.
## Summary of changes
Add a `use-local-compute-notifications` flag. When this is set, we use
the local flow regardless of other config values.
It's enabled by default in neon_local and disabled by default in all
other envs. I had to turn the flag off in tests
that wish to bypass the local flow, but that's expected.

- Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11113
- Building a new `reqwest::Client` for every request is expensive
because it parses CA certs under the hood. It's noticeable in storcon's
flamegraph.
## Summary of changes
- Reuse one `reqwest::Client` for all API calls to avoid parsing CA
certificates every time.
## Problem
Issue https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11254 describes a case
where restart during a shard split can result in a bad end state in the
database.
## Summary of changes
- Add a reproducer for the issue
- Tighten an existing safety check around updated row counts in
complete_shard_split
The only difference between
- `pageserver_api::models::TenantConfig` and
- `pageserver::tenant::config::TenantConfOpt`
at this point is that `TenantConfOpt` serializes with
`skip_serializing_if = Option::is_none`.
That is an efficiency improvement for all the places that currently
serde `models::TenantConfig` because new serializations will no longer
write `$fieldname: null` for each field that is `None` at runtime.
This should be particularly beneficial for Storcon, which stores
JSON-serialized `models::TenantConfig` in its DB.
# Behavior Changes
This PR changes the serialization behavior: we omit `None` fields
instead of serializing `$fieldname: null`).
So it's a data format change (see section on compatibility below).
And it changes API responses from Storcon and Pageserver.
## API Response Compatibility
Storcon returns the location description.
Afaik it is passed through into
- storcon_cli output
- storcon UI in console admin UI
These outputs will no longer contain `$fieldname: null` values,
which de-bloats the output (good).
But in storcon UI, it also serves as an editor "default", which
will be eliminated after a storcon with this PR is released.
## Data Format Compatibility
Backwards compat: new software reading old serialized data will
deserialize to the same runtime value because all the field types
are exactly the same and `skip_serializing_if` does not affect
deserialization.
Forward compat: old software reading data serialized by new software
will map absence fields in the serialized form to runtime value
`Option::None`. This is serde default behavior, see this playground
to convince yourself:
https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2024&gist=f7f4e1a169959a3085b6158c022a05eb
The `serde(with="humantime_serde")` however behaves strangely:
if used on an `Option<Duration>`, it still requires the field to be
present,
unlike the serde default behavior shown in the previous paragraph.
The workaround is to set `serde(default)`.
Previously it was set on each individual field, but, we do have the
container attribute, so, set it there.
This requires deriving a `Default` impl, which, because all fields are
`Option`,
is non-magic.
See my notes here:
https://gist.github.com/problame/eddbc225a5d12617e9f2c6413e0cf799
# Future Work
We should have separate types (& crates) for
- runtime types configuration (e.g. PageServerConf::tenant_config,
AttachedLocationConf)
- `config-v1` file pageserver local disk file format
- `mgmt API`
- `pageserver.toml`
Right now they all use the same, which is convenient but makes it hard
to reason about compatibility breakage.

We want to switch away from and deprecate the `--compute-hook-url` param
for the storcon in favour of `--control-plane-url` because it allows us
to construct urls with `notify-safekeepers`.
This PR switches the pytests and neon_local from a
`control_plane_compute_hook_api` to a new param named
`control_plane_hooks_api` which is supposed to point to the parent of
the `notify-attach` URL.
We still support reading the old url from disk to not be too disruptive
with existing deployments, but we just ignore it.
Also add docs for the `notify-safekeepers` upcall API.

## Problem
When a node becomes active, we query its locations and update the
observed state in-place.
This can race with the observed state updates done when processing
reconcile results.
## Summary of changes
The argument for this reconciliation step is that is reduces the need
for background reconciliations.
I don't think is actually true anymore. There's two cases.
1. Restart of node after drain. Usually the node does not go through the
offline state here, so observed locations
were not marked as none. In any case, there should be a handful of
shards max on the node since we've just drained it.
2. Node comes back online after failure or network partition. When the
node is marked offline, we reschedule everything away from it. When it
later becomes active, the previous observed location is extraneous and
requires a reconciliation anyway.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11148
## Problem
Storage controller uses http for requests to safekeeper management API.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24835
## Summary of changes
- Add `use_https_safekeeper_api` option to storcon to use https api
- Use https for requests to safekeeper management API if this option is
enabled
- Add `ssl_ca_file` option to storcon for ability to specify custom root
CA certificate
## Problem
The current migration API does a live migration, but if the destination
doesn't already have a secondary, that live migration is unlikely to be
able to warm up a tenant properly within its timeout (full warmup of a
big tenant can take tens of minutes).
Background optimisation code knows how to do this gracefully by creating
a secondary first, but we don't currently give a human a way to trigger
that.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10540
## Summary of changes
- Add `prefererred_node` parameter to TenantShard, which is respected by
optimize_attachment
- Modify migration API to have optional prewarm=true mode, in which we
set preferred_node and call optimize_attachment, rather than directly
modifying intentstate
- Require override_scheduler=true flag if migrating somewhere that is a
less-than-optimal scheduling location (e.g. wrong AZ)
- Add `origin_node_id` to migration API so that callers can ensure
they're moving from where they think they're moving from
- Add tests for the above
The storcon_cli wrapper for this has a 'watch' mode that waits for
eventual cutover. This doesn't show the warmth of the secondary evolve
because we don't currently have an API for that in the controller, as
the passthrough API only targets attached locations, not secondaries. It
would be straightforward to add later as a dedicated endpoint for
getting secondary status, then extend the storcon_cli to consume that
and print a nice progress indicator.
## Problem
We failed to detect https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10845
before merging, because the tests we run with a matrix of component
versions didn't include the ones that did live migrations.
## Summary of changes
- Do a live migration during the storage controller smoke test, since
this is a pretty core piece of functionality
- Apply a compat version matrix to the graceful cluster restart test,
since this is the functionality that we most urgently need to work
across versions to make deploys work.
I expect the first CI run of this to fail, because
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10845 isn't merged yet.
## Problem
The storage controller treats durations in the tenant config as strings.
These are loaded from the db.
The pageserver maps these durations to a seconds only format and we
always get a mismatch compared
to what's in the db.
## Summary of changes
Treat durations as durations inside the storage controller and not as
strings.
Nothing changes in the cross service API's themselves or the way things
are stored in the db.
I also added some logging which I would have made the investigation a
10min job:
1. Reason for why the reconciliation was spawned
2. Location config diff between the observed and wanted states
## Problem
Storage controller uses unsecure http for pageserver API.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23734
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24091
## Summary of changes
- Add an optional `listen_https_port` field to storage controller's Node
state and its API (RegisterNode/ListNodes/etc).
- Allow updating `listen_https_port` on node registration to gradually
add https port for all nodes.
- Add `use_https_pageserver_api` CLI option to storage controller to
enable https.
- Pageserver doesn't support https for now and always reports
`https_port=None`. This will be addressed in follow-up PR.
This PR does the following things:
* The initial heartbeat round blocks the storage controller from
becoming online again. If all safekeepers are unresponsive, this can
cause storage controller startup to be very slow. The original intent of
#10583 was that heartbeats don't affect normal functionality of the
storage controller. So add a short timeout to prevent it from impeding
storcon functionality.
* Fix the URL of the utilization endpoint.
* Don't send heartbeats to safekeepers which are decomissioned.

## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10411 fill logic changes
such that it benefits us to test it with & without AZs set up. I didn't
extend the test inline in that PR because there were overlapping test
changes in flight to add `num_az` parameter.
## Summary of changes
- Parameterise test on AZ count (1 or 2)
- When AZ count is 2, use a different balance check that just asserts
the _tenants_ are balanced (since AZ affinity is chosen on a per-tenant
basis)
## Problem
I noticed when onboarding lots of tenants that the AZ scheduling
violation stat was climbing, before falling later as optimisations
happened. This was happening because we first add the tenant with
PlacementPolicy::Secondary, and then later go to
PlacementPolicy::Attached, and the scheduler's behavior led to a bad AZ
choice:
1. Create a secondary location in the non-preferred AZ
2. Upgrade to Attached where we promote that non-preferred-AZ location
to attached and then create another secondary
3. Optimiser later realises we're in the wrong AZ and moves us
## Summary of changes
- Extend some logging to give more information about AZs
- When scheduling secondary location in PlacementPolicy::Secondary,
select it as if we were attached: in this mode, our business goal is to
have a warm pageserver location that we can make available as attached
quickly if needed, therefore we want it to be in the preferred AZ.
- Make optimize_secondary logic the same, so that it will consider a
secondary location in the preferred AZ to be optimal when in
PlacementPolicy::Secondary
- When transitioning to from PlacementPolicy::Attached(N) to
PlacementPolicy::Secondary, instead of arbitrarily picking a location to
keep, prefer to keep the location in the preferred AZ
## Problem
`test_storage_controller_node_deletion` sometimes failed because shards
were moving around during timeline creation, and neon_local isn't
tolerant of that. The movements were unexpected because the shards had
only just been created.
This was a regression from #9916Closes: #10383
## Summary of changes
- Make this test use multiple AZs -- this makes the storage controller's
scheduling reliably stable
Why this works: in #9916 , I made a simplifying assumption that we would
have multiple AZs to get nice stable scheduling -- it's much easier,
because each tenant has a well defined primary+secondary location when
they have an AZ preference and nodes have different AZs. Everything
still works if you don't have multiple AZs, but you just have this quirk
that sometimes the optimizer can disagree with initial scheduling, so
once in a while a shard moves after being created -- annoying for tests,
harmless IRL.
Rename the safekeeper scheduling policy "disabled" to "pause".
A rename was requested in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10400#discussion_r1916259124,
as the "disabled" policy is meant to be analogous to the "pause" policy
for pageservers.
Also simplify the `SkSchedulingPolicyArg::from_str` function, relying on
the `from_str` implementation of `SkSchedulingPolicy`. Latter is used
for the database format as well, so it is quite stable. If we ever want
to change the UI, we'll need to duplicate the function again but this is
cheap.
Implementing the last missing endpoint of #9981, this adds support to
set the scheduling policy of an individual safekeeper, as specified in
the RFC. However, unlike in the RFC we call the endpoint
`scheduling_policy` not `status`
Closes#9981.
As for why not use the upsert endpoint for this: we want to have the
safekeeper upsert endpoint be used for testing and for deploying new
safekeepers, but not for changes of the scheduling policy. We don't want
to change any of the other fields when marking a safekeeper as
decommissioned for example, so we'd have to first fetch them only to
then specify them again. Of course one can also design an endpoint where
one can omit any field and it doesn't get modified, but it's still not
great for observability to put everything into one big "change something
about this safekeeper" endpoint.
## Problem
For large deployments, the `control/v1/tenant` listing API can time out
transmitting a monolithic serialized response.
## Summary of changes
- Add `limit` and `start_after` parameters to listing API
- Update storcon_cli to use these parameters and limit requests to 1000
items at a time
## Problem
We want to do a more robust job of scheduling tenants into their home
AZ: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8264.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8969
## Summary of changes
### Scope
This PR combines prioritizing AZ with a larger rework of how we do
optimisation. The rationale is that just bumping AZ in the order of
Score attributes is a very tiny change: the interesting part is lining
up all the optimisation logic to respect this properly, which means
rewriting it to use the same scores as the scheduler, rather than the
fragile hand-crafted logic that we had before. Separating these changes
out is possible, but would involve doing two rounds of test updates
instead of one.
### Scheduling optimisation
`TenantShard`'s `optimize_attachment` and `optimize_secondary` methods
now both use the scheduler to pick a new "favourite" location. Then
there is some refined logic for whether + how to migrate to it:
- To decide if a new location is sufficiently "better", we generate
scores using some projected ScheduleContexts that exclude the shard
under consideration, so that we avoid migrating from a node with
AffinityScore(2) to a node with AffinityScore(1), only to migrate back
later.
- Score types get a `for_optimization` method so that when we compare
scores, we will only do an optimisation if the scores differ by their
highest-ranking attributes, not just because one pageserver is lower in
utilization. Eventually we _will_ want a mode that does this, but doing
it here would make scheduling logic unstable and harder to test, and to
do this correctly one needs to know the size of the tenant that one is
migrating.
- When we find a new attached location that we would like to move to, we
will create a new secondary location there, even if we already had one
on some other node. This handles the case where we have a home AZ A, and
want to migrate the attachment between pageservers in that AZ while
retaining a secondary location in some other AZ as well.
- A unit test is added for
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8969, which is implicitly
fixed by reworking optimisation to use the same scheduling scores as
scheduling.
## Problem
Currently, if we want to move a secondary there isn't a neat way to do
that: we just have migration API for the attached location, and it is
only clean to use that if you've manually created a secondary via
pageserver API in the place you're going to move it to.
Secondary migration API enables:
- Moving the secondary somewhere because we would like to later move the
attached location there.
- Move the secondary location because we just want to reclaim some disk
space from its current location.
## Summary of changes
- Add `/migrate_secondary` API
- Add `tenant-shard-migrate-secondary` CLI
- Add tests for above
## Problem
We would sometimes fail to retry compute notifications:
1. Try and send, set compute_notify_failure if we can't
2. On next reconcile, reconcile() fails for some other reason (e.g.
tried to talk to an offline node), and we fail the `result.is_ok() &&
must_notify` condition around the re-sending.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22612
## Summary of changes
- Clarify the meaning of the reconcile result: it should be Ok(()) if
configuring attached location worked, even if secondary or detach
locations cannot be reached.
- Skip trying to talk to secondaries if they're offline
- Even if reconcile fails and we can't send the compute notification (we
can't send it because we're not sure if it's really attached), make sure
we save the `compute_notify_failure` flag so that subsequent reconciler
runs will try again
- Add a regression test for the above
## Problem
Typical deployments of neon have some tenants that stay in use
continuously, and a background churning population of tenants that are
created and then fall idle, and are configured to Detached state.
Currently, this churn of short lived tenants results in an
ever-increasing memory footprint.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9712
## Summary of changes
- At startup, filter to only load shards that don't have Detached policy
- In process_result, check if a tenant's shards are all Detached and
observed=={}, and if so drop them from memory
- In tenant_location_conf and other tenant mutators, load the tenants'
shards on-demand if they are not present
## Problem
The observed state removal may race with the inline updates of the
observed state done from `Service::node_activate_reconcile`.
This was intended to work as follows:
1. Detaches while the node is unavailable remove the entry from the
observed state.
2. `Service::node_activate_reconcile` diffs the locations returned
by the pageserver with the observed state and detaches in-line
when required.
## Summary of changes
This PR removes step (1) and lets background reconciliations
deal with the mismatch between the intent and observed state.
A follow up will attempt to remove `Service::node_activate_reconcile`
altogether.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10253
Add a `safekeepers` subcommand to `storcon_cli` that allows listing the
safekeepers.
```
$ curl -X POST --url http://localhost:1234/control/v1/safekeeper/42 --data \
'{"active":true, "id":42, "created_at":"2023-10-25T09:11:25Z", "updated_at":"2024-08-28T11:32:43Z","region_id":"neon_local","host":"localhost","port":5454,"http_port":0,"version":123,"availability_zone_id":"us-east-2b"}'
$ cargo run --bin storcon_cli -- --api http://localhost:1234 safekeepers
Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.38s
Running `target/debug/storcon_cli --api 'http://localhost:1234' safekeepers`

+----+---------+-----------+------+-----------+------------+
```
Also:
* Don't return the raw `SafekeeperPersistence` struct that contains the
raw database presentation, but instead a new
`SafekeeperDescribeResponse` struct.
* The `SafekeeperPersistence` struct leaves out the `active` field on
purpose because we want to deprecate it and replace it with a
`scheduling_policy` one.

## Problem
It is unreliable for the control plane to infer the AZ for computes from
where the tenant is currently attached, because if a tenant happens to
be in a degraded state or a release is ongoing while a compute starts,
then the tenant's attached AZ can be a different one to where it will
run long-term, and the control plane doesn't check back later to restart
the compute.
This can land in parallel with
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9947
## Summary of changes
- Thread through the preferred AZ into the compute hook code via the
reconciler
- Include the preferred AZ in the body of compute hook notifications
This adds an API to the storage controller to list safekeepers
registered to it.
This PR does a `diesel print-schema > storage_controller/src/schema.rs`
because of an inconsistency between up.sql and schema.rs, introduced by
[this](2c142f14f7)
commit, so there is some updates of `schema.rs` due to that. As a
followup to this, we should maybe think about running `diesel
print-schema` in CI.
