We use the term "endpoint" in for compute Postgres nodes in the web UI
and user-facing documentation now. Adjust the nomenclature in the code.
This changes the name of the "neon_local pg" command to "neon_local
endpoint". Also adjust names of classes, variables etc. in the python
tests accordingly.
This also changes the directory structure so that endpoints are now
stored in:
.neon/endpoints/<endpoint id>
instead of:
.neon/pgdatadirs/tenants/<tenant_id>/<endpoint (node) name>
The tenant ID is no longer part of the path. That means that you
cannot have two endpoints with the same name/ID in two different
tenants anymore. That's consistent with how we treat endpoints in the
real control plane and proxy: the endpoint ID must be globally unique.
Downsides are:
* We store all components of the config separately. `Url` stores them inside a single
`String` and a bunch of ints which point to different parts of the URL, which is
probably more efficient.
* It is now impossible to pass arbitrary connection strings to the configuration file,
one has to support all components explicitly. However, we never supported anything
except for `host:port` anyway.
Upsides are:
* This significantly restricts the space of possible connection strings, some of which
may be either invalid or unsupported. E.g. Postgres' connection strings may include
a bunch of parameters as query (e.g. `connect_timeout=`, `options=`). These are nether
validated by the current implementation, nor passed to the postgres client library,
Hence, storing separate fields expresses the intention better.
* The same connection configuration may be represented as a URL in multiple ways
(e.g. either `password=` in the query part or a standard URL password).
Now we have a single canonical way.
* Escaping is provided for `options=`.
Other possibilities considered:
* `newtype` with a `String` inside and some validation on creation.
This is more efficient, but harder to log for two reasons:
* Passwords should never end up in logs, so we have to somehow
* Escaped `options=` are harder to read, especially if URL-encoded,
and we use `options=` a lot.

currently there is no pre condition for participating, that's a TODO.
neon_local and tests infrastructure for remote storage in safekeepers added,
along with the test itself.
ref #1009
Co-authored-by: Anton Shyrabokau <ahtoxa@Antons-MacBook-Pro.local>
The 'zenith' CLI utility can now be used to launch safekeepers. By
default, one safekeeper is configured. There are new 'safekeeper
start/stop' subcommands to manage the safekeepers. Each safekeeper is
given a name that can be used to identify the safekeeper to start/stop
with the 'zenith start/stop' commands. The safekeeper data is stored
in '.zenith/safekeepers/<name>'.
The 'zenith start' command now starts the pageserver and also all
safekeepers. 'zenith stop' stops pageserver, all safekeepers, and all
postgres nodes.
Introduce new 'zenith pageserver start/stop' subcommands for
starting/stopping just the page server.
The biggest change here is to the 'zenith init' command. This adds a
new 'zenith init --config=<path to toml file>' option. It takes a toml
config file that describes the environment. In the config file, you
can specify options for the pageserver, like the pg and http ports,
and authentication. For each safekeeper, you can define a name and the
pg and http ports. If you don't use the --config option, you get a
default configuration with a pageserver and one safekeeper. Note that
that's different from the previous default of no safekeepers. Any
fields that are omitted in the configuration file are filled with
defaults. You can also specify the initial tenant ID in the config
file. A couple of sample config files are added in the control_plane/
directory.
The --pageserver-pg-port, --pageserver-http-port, and
--pageserver-auth options to 'zenith init' are removed. Use a config
file instead.
Finally, change the python test fixtures to use the new 'zenith'
commands and the config file to describe the environment.
This patch started as an effort to support CLI working against remote
pageserver, but turned into a pretty big refactoring.
* CLI now does not look into repository files directly. New commands
'branch_create' and 'identify_system' were introduced into page_service to
support that.
* Branch management that was scattered between local_env and
zenith/main.rs is moved into pageserver/branches.rs. That code could better fit
in Repository/Timeline impl, but I'll leave that for a different patch.
* All tests-related code from local_env went into integration_tests/src/lib.rs as an
extension to PostgresNode trait.
* Paths-generating functions were concentrated around corresponding config
types (LocalEnv and PageserverConf).
