Before this PR, `is_rel_block_key` returns true for the blknum
`0xffffffff`,
which is a blknum that's actually never written by Postgres, but used by
Neon Pageserver to store the relsize.
Quoting @MMeent:
> PostgreSQL can't extend the relation beyond size of 0xFFFFFFFF blocks,
> so block number 0xFFFFFFFE is the last valid block number.
This PR changes the definition of the function to exclude blknum
0xffffffff.
My motivation for doing this change is to fix the `pagebench` getpage
benchmark, which uses `is_rel_block_key` to filter the keyspace for
valid pages to request from page_service.
fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6210
I checked other users of the function.
The first one is `key_is_shard0`, which already had added an exemption
for 0xffffffff. So, there's no functional change with this PR.
The second one is `DatadirModification::flush`[^1]. With this PR,
`.flush()` will skip the relsize key, whereas it didn't
before. This means we will pile up all the relsize key-value pairs
`(Key,u32)`
in `DatadirModification::pending_updates` until `.commit()` is called.
The only place I can think of where that would be a problem is if we
import from a full basebackup, and don't `.commit()` regularly,
like we currently don't do in `import_basebackup_from_tar`.
It exposes us to input-controlled allocations.
However, that was already the case for the other keys that are skipped,
so, one can argue that this change is not making the situation much
worse.
[^1]: That type's `flush()` and `commit()` methods are terribly named,
but,
that's for another time
Implement API for cloning a single timeline inside a safekeeper. Also
add API for calculating a sha256 hash of WAL, which is used in tests.
`/copy` API works by copying objects inside S3 for all but the last
segments, and the last segments are copied on-disk. A special temporary
directory is created for a timeline, because copy can take a lot of
time, especially for large timelines. After all files segments have been
prepared, this directory is mounted to the main tree and timeline is
loaded to memory.
Some caveats:
- large timelines can take a lot of time to copy, because we need to
copy many S3 segments
- caller should wait for HTTP call to finish indefinetely and don't
close the HTTP connection, because it will stop the process, which is
not continued in the background
- `until_lsn` must be a valid LSN, otherwise bad things can happen
- API will return 200 if specified `timeline_id` already exists, even if
it's not a copy
- each safekeeper will try to copy S3 segments, so it's better to not
call this API in-parallel on different safekeepers
## Problem
- When a client requests a key that isn't found in any shard on the node
(edge case that only happens if a compute's config is out of date), we
should prompt them to reconnect (as this includes a backoff), since they
will not be able to complete the request until they eventually get a
correct pageserver connection string.
- QueryError::Other is used excessively: this contains a type-ambiguous
anyhow::Error and is logged very verbosely (including backtrace).
## Summary of changes
- Introduce PageStreamError to replace use of anyhow::Error in request
handlers for getpage, etc.
- Introduce Reconnect and NotFound variants to QueryError
- Map the "shard routing error" case to PageStreamError::Reconnect ->
QueryError::Reconnect
- Update type conversions for LSN timeouts and tenant/timeline not found
errors to use PageStreamError::NotFound->QueryError::NotFound
Previously, we would wait for the LSN to be visible on whichever
timeline we happened to load at the start of the connection, then
proceed to look up the correct timeline for the key and do the read.
If the timeline holding the key was behind the timeline we used
for the LSN wait, then we might serve an apparently-successful read result
that actually contains data from behind the requested lsn.
If there is some secondary shard for a tenant on the same
node as an attached shard, the secondary shard could trip up
this code and cause page_service to incorrectly
get an error instead of finding the attached shard.
It has caveats such as creating half empty segment which can't be
offloaded. Instead we'll pursue approach of pull_timeline, seeding new state
from some peer.
## Problem
We need to add one more patch to pgbouncer (for
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/5801). I've decided to
cherry-pick all required patches to a pgbouncer fork
(`neondatabase/pgbouncer`) and use it instead.
See
https://github.com/neondatabase/pgbouncer/releases/tag/pgbouncer_1_21_0-neon-1
## Summary of changes
- Revert the previous patch (for deallocate/discard all) — the fork
already contains it.
- Remove `libssl-dev` dependency — we build pgbouncer without `openssl`
support.
- Clone git tag and build pgbouncer from source code.
## Problem
For context, this problem was observed in a research project where we
try to make neon run in multiple regions and I was asked by @hlinnaka to
make this PR.
In our project, we use the pageserver in a non-conventional way such
that we would send a larger number of requests to the pageserver than
normal (imagine postgres without the buffer pool). I measured the time
from the moment a WAL record left the safekeeper to when it reached the
pageserver
([code](e593db1f5a/pageserver/src/tenant/timeline/walreceiver/walreceiver_connection.rs (L282-L287)))
and observed that when the number of get_page_at_lsn requests was high,
the wal receiving time increased significantly (see the left side of the
graphs below).
Upon further investigation, I found that the delay was caused by this
line
d2ca410919/pageserver/src/tenant/timeline.rs (L2348)
The `get_layer_for_write` method is called for every value during WAL
ingestion and it tries to acquire layers write lock every time, thus
this results in high contention when read lock is acquired more
frequently.
## Summary of changes
It is unnecessary to call `get_layer_for_write` repeatedly for all
values in a WAL message since they would end up in the same memory layer
anyway, so I created the batched versions of `InMemoryLayer::put_value`,
`InMemoryLayer ::put_tombstone`, `Timeline::put_value`, and
`Timeline::put_tombstone`, that acquire the locks once for a batch of
values.
Additionally, `DatadirModification` is changed to store multiple
versions of uncommitted values, and `WalIngest::ingest_record()` can now
ingest records without immediately committing them.
With these new APIs, the new ingestion loop can be changed to commit for
every `ingest_batch_size` records. The `ingest_batch_size` variable is
exposed as a config. If it is set to 1 then we get the same behavior
before this change. I found that setting this value to 100 seems to work
the best, and you can see its effect on the right side of the above
graphs.

## Problem
The version of pytest we were using emits a number of
DeprecationWarnings on latest python: these are fixed in latest release.
boto3 and python-dateutil also have deprecation warnings, but
unfortunately these aren't fixed upstream yet.
## Summary of changes
- Update pytest
- Update boto3 (this doesn't fix deprecation warnings, but by the time I
figured that out I had already done the update, and it's good hygiene
anyway)
The tool still needs a lot of work. These are the easiest fix and
feature:
- use similar adaptive config with s3 as remote_storage, use retries
- process only particular tenants
Tenants need to be from the correct region, they are not deduplicated,
but the feature is useful for re-checking small amount of tenants after
a large run.
To exercise MAX_SEND_SIZE sending from safekeeper; we've had a bug with WAL
records torn across several XLogData messages. Add failpoint to safekeeper to
slow down sending. Also check for corrupted WAL complains in standby log.
Make the test a bit simpler in passing, e.g. we don't need explicit commits as
autocommit is enabled by default.

Otherwise they are left orphaned when compute_ctl is terminated with a
signal. It was invisible most of the time because normally neon_local or k8s
kills postgres directly and then compute_ctl finishes gracefully. However, in
some tests compute_ctl gets stuck waiting for sync-safekeepers which
intentionally never ends because safekeepers are offline, and we want to stop
compute_ctl without leaving orphanes behind.
This is a quite rough approach which doesn't wait for children termination. A
better way would be to convert compute_ctl to async which would make waiting
easy.
## Problem
`cargo test` doesn't support timeouts
or junit output format
## Summary of changes
- Add `nextest` to `build-tools` image
- Switch `cargo test` with `cargo nextest` on CI
- Set timeout
## Problem
control plane should be able to return domain names and not just IP
addresses.
## Summary of changes
1. add regression tests
2. use rsplit to split the port from the back, then trim the ipv6
brackets
## Problem
Extension pg_stat_statements has function pg_stat_statements_reset().
In vanilla Postgres this function can only be called by superuser role
or other users/roles explicitly granted.
In Neon no end user can use superuser role.
Instead we have neon_superuser role.
We need to grant execute on pg_stat_statements_reset() to neon_superuser
## Summary of changes
Modify the Postgres v14, v15, v16 contrib in our compute docker file to
grant execute on pg_stat_statements_reset() to neon_superuser.
(Modifying it in our docker file is preferable to changes in
neondatabase/postgres because we want to limit the changes in our fork
that we have to carry with each new version of Postgres).
Note that the interface of proc/function pg_stat_statements_reset
changed in pg_stat_statements version 1.7
So for versions up to and including 1.6 we must
`GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION pg_stat_statements_reset() TO
neon_superuser;`
and for versions starting from 1.7 we must
`GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION pg_stat_statements_reset(Oid, Oid, bigint) TO
neon_superuser;`
If we just use `GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION pg_stat_statements_reset() TO
neon_superuser;` for all version this results in the following error for
versions 1.7+:
```sql
neondb=> create extension pg_stat_statements;
ERROR: function pg_stat_statements_reset() does not exist

- add pgbouncer_settings section to compute spec;
- add pgbouncer-connstr option to compute_ctl.
- add pgbouncer-ini-path option to compute_ctl. Default: /etc/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.ini
Apply pgbouncer config on compute start and respec to override default spec.
Save pgbouncer config updates to pgbouncer.ini to preserve them across pgbouncer restarts.
Remove confirm_wal_streamed; we already apply both write and flush positions of
the slot to commit_lsn which is fine because 1) we need to wake up waiters 2)
committed WAL can be fetched from safekeepers by neon_walreader now.
wp -> sk communication now uses neon_walreader which will fetch missing WAL on
demand from safekeepers, so doesn't need this anymore. Also, cap WAL download by
max_slot_wal_keep_size to be able to start compute if lag is too high.
It is similar to XLogReader, but when either requested segment is missing
locally or requested LSN is before basebackup_lsn NeonWALReader asynchronously
fetches WAL from one of safekeepers.
Patch includes walproposer switch to NeonWALReader, splitting wouldn't make much
sense as it is hard to test otherwise. This finally removes risk of pg_wal
explosion (as well as slow start time) when one safekeeper is lagging, at the
same time allowing to recover it.
In the future reader should also be used by logical walsender for similar
reasons (currently we download the tail on compute start synchronously).
The main test is test_lagging_sk. However, I also run it manually a lot varying
MAX_SEND_SIZE on both sides (on safekeeper and on walproposer), testing various
fragmentations (one side having small buffer, another, both), which brought up
