## 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.
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION requires AccessExclusive lock
which conflicts with iteration over pg_subscription when multiple
databases are present
and operations are applied concurrently.
Fix by explicitly locking pg_subscription
in the beginning of the transaction in each database.

## Problem
Background heatmap uploads and downloads were blocking the ones done
manually by the test.
## Summary of changes
Disable Background heatmap uploads and downloads for the cold migration
test. The test does
them explicitly.
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
We lack an API for warming up attached locations based on the heatmap
contents.
This is problematic in two places:
1. If we manually migrate and cut over while the secondary is still cold
2. When we re-attach a previously offloaded tenant
## Summary of changes
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10597 made heatmap generation
additive
across migrations, so we won't clobber it a after a cold migration. This
allows us to implement:
1. An endpoint for downloading all missing heatmap layers on the
pageserver:
`/v1/tenant/:tenant_shard_id/timeline/:timeline_id/download_heatmap_layers`.
Only one such operation per timeline is allowed at any given time. The
granularity is tenant shard.
2. An endpoint to the storage controller to trigger the downloads on the
pageserver:
`/v1/tenant/:tenant_shard_id/timeline/:timeline_id/download_heatmap_layers`.
This works both at
tenant and tenant shard level. If an unsharded tenant id is provided,
the operation is started on
all shards, otherwise only the specified shard.
3. A storcon cli command. Again, tenant and tenant-shard level
granularities are supported.
Cplane will call into storcon and trigger the downloads for all shards.
When we want to rescue a migration, we will use storcon cli targeting
the specific tenant shard.

## Summary of changes
For some reasons the job split algorithm decides to have different image
coverage range for two compactions before/after restart. So we remove
the subcompaction key range and let it generate an image covering the
full range, which should make the test more stable.
Also slightly tuned the logging span.

This reverts commit 443c8d0b4b.
## Problem
We observe a massive amount of compaction errors.
## Summary of changes
If the tenant did not write any L1 layers (i.e., they accumulate L0
layers where number of them is below L0 threshold), image creation will
always fail. Therefore, it's not correct to simply use the
disk_consistent_lsn or L0/L1 boundary for the image creation.
## Problem
Tests with mixed versions of binaries always pick up new versions if
services are started using `neon_local`.
## Summary of changes
- Set `neon_local_binpath` along with `neon_binpath` and
`pg_distrib_dir` for tests with mixed versions
## Problem
Test fails when comparing the first WAL segment because the system id in
the segment header is different. The system id is not consistently set
correctly since segments are usually inited on the safekeeper sync step
with sysid 0.
## Summary of Chnages
Compare timeline digests instead. This skips the header.

## Summary of changes
This patch adds the support for storing reldir in the sparse keyspace.
All logic are guarded with the `rel_size_v2_enabled` flag, so if it's
set to false, the code path is exactly the same as what's currently in
prod.
Note that we did not persist the `rel_size_v2_enabled` flag and the
logic around it will be implemented in the next patch. (i.e., what if we
enabled it, restart the pageserver, and then it gets set to false? we
should still read from v2 using the rel_size_v2_migration_status in the
index_part). The persistence logic I'll implement in the next patch will
disallow switching from v2->v1 via config item.
I also refactored the metrics so that it can work with the new reldir
store. However, this metric is not correctly computed for reldirs (see
the comments) before. With the refactor, the value will be computed only
when we have an initial value for the reldir size. The refactor keeps
the incorrectness of the computation when there are more than 1
database.
For the tests, we currently run all the tests with v2, and I'll set it
to false and add some v2-specific tests before merging, probably also
v1->v2 migration tests.

## Problem
The test is flaky: WAL in remote storage appears to be corrupted. One of
hypotheses so far is that corruption is the result of local fs
implementation being non atomic, and safekeepers may concurrently PUT
the same segment. That's dubious though because by looking at local_fs
impl I'd expect then early EOF on segment read rather then observed
zeros in test failures, but other directions seem even less probable.
## Summary of changes
Let's add s3 backend as well and see if it is also flaky. Also add some
more logging around segments uploads.

## Problem
This test occasionally fails while the test teardown tries to do a
graceful shutdown, because the test has quickly written lots of data
into the pageserver.
Closes: #10654
## Summary of changes
- Call `post_checks` at the end of `test_isolation`, as we already do
for test_pg_regress -- this improves our detection of issues, and as a
nice side effect flushes the pageserver.
- Ignore pg_notify files when validating state at end of test, these are
not expected to be the same
## Problem
In #10752 I used an overly-strict regex that only ignored error on a
particular key.
## Summary of changes
- Drop key from regex so it matches all such errors
## Problem
Previously, when cutting over to cold secondary locations,
we would clobber the previous, good, heatmap with a cold one.
This is because heatmap generation used to include only resident layers.
Once this merges, we can add an endpoint which triggers full heatmap
hydration on attached locations to heal cold migrations.
## Summary of changes
With this patch, heatmap generation becomes additive. If we have a
heatmap from when this location was secondary, the new uploaded heatmap
will be the result of a reconciliation between the old one and the on
disk resident layers.
More concretely, when we have the previous heatmap:
1. Filter the previous heatmap and keep layers that are (a) present
in the current layer map, (b) visible, (c) not resident. Call this set
of layers `visible_non_resident`.
2. From the layer map, select all layers that are resident and visible.
Call this set of layers `resident`.
3. The new heatmap is the result of merging the two disjoint sets.

## Problem
We expose `latest_gc_cutoff` in our API, and callers understandably were
using that to validate LSNs for branch creation. However, this is _not_
the true GC cutoff from a user's point of view: it's just the point at
which we last actually did GC. The actual cutoff used when validating
branch creations and page_service reads is the min() of latest_gc_cutoff
and the planned GC lsn in GcInfo.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10639
## Summary of changes
- Expose the more useful min() of GC cutoffs as `gc_cutoff_lsn` in the
API, so that the most obviously named field is really the one people
should use.
- Retain the ability to read the LSN at which GC was actually done, in
an `applied_gc_cutoff_lsn` field.
- Internally rename `latest_gc_cutoff_lsn` to `applied_gc_cutoff_lsn`
("latest" was a confusing name, as the value in GcInfo is more up to
date in terms of what a user experiences)
- Temporarily preserve the old `latest_gc_cutoff_lsn` field for compat
with control plane until we update it to use the new field.

## Problem
We respect `skip_pg_catalog_updates` at the initial start, but ignore at
the follow-up `/configure`. Yet, it's used for storage->cplane->compute
notify requests after migrations, shard split, etc. So every time we get
them, applying the new config takes much longer than it should because
we go through Postgres catalog checks. Cplane sets this flag, when it
does serves notify attach call

## Summary of changes

## Problem
L0 compaction frequently gets starved out by other background tasks and
image/GC compaction. L0 compaction must be responsive to keep read
amplification under control.
Touches #10694.
Resolves#10689.
## Summary of changes
Use a separate semaphore for the L0-only compaction pass.
* Add a `CONCURRENT_L0_COMPACTION_TASKS` semaphore and
`BackgroundLoopKind::L0Compaction`.
* Add a setting `compaction_l0_semaphore` (default off via
`compaction_l0_first`).
* Use the L0 semaphore when doing an `OnlyL0Compaction` pass.
* Use the background semaphore when doing a regular compaction pass
(which includes an initial L0 pass).
* While waiting for the background semaphore, yield for L0 compaction if
triggered.
* Add `CompactFlags::NoYield` to disable L0 yielding, and set it for the
HTTP API route.
* Remove the old `use_compaction_semaphore` setting and
compaction-scoped semaphore.
* Remove the warning when waiting for a semaphore; it's noisy and we
have metrics.
## Problem
Previously, Workload was reconfiguring the compute before each run of
writes, which was meant to be a no-op when nothing changed, but was
actually writing extra data due to an issue being fixed in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10696.
The row counts in tests were too low in some cases, these tests were
only working because of those extra writes that shouldn't have been
happening, and moreover were relying on checkpoints happening.
## Summary of changes
- Only reconfigure compute if the attached pageserver actually changed.
If pageserver is set to None, that means controller is managing
everything, so never reconfigure compute.
- Update tests that wrote too few rows.

## Problem
Image compaction can starve out L0 compaction if a tenant has several
timelines with L0 debt.
Touches #10694.
Requires #10740.
## Summary of changes
* Add an initial L0 compaction pass, in order of L0 count.
* Add a tenant option `compaction_l0_first` to control the L0 pass
(disabled by default).
* Add `CompactFlags::OnlyL0Compaction` to run an L0-only compaction
pass.
* Clean up the compaction iteration logic.
A later PR will use separate semaphores for the L0 and image compaction
passes to avoid cross-tenant L0 starvation. That PR will also make image
compaction yield if _any_ of the tenant's timelines have pending L0
compaction to further avoid starvation.
## 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)
The compute_ctl HTTP server has the following purposes:
- Allow management via the control plane
- Provide an endpoint for scaping metrics
- Provide APIs for compute internal clients
- Neon Postgres extension for installing remote extensions
- local_proxy for installing extensions and adding grants
The first two purposes require the HTTP server to be available outside
the compute.
The Neon threat model is a bad actor within our internal network. We
need to reduce the surface area of attack. By exposing unnecessary
unauthenticated HTTP endpoints to the internal network, we increase the
surface area of attack. For endpoints described in the third bullet
point, we can just run an extra HTTP server, which is only bound to the
loopback interface since all consumers of those endpoints are within the
compute.
This changes the default value of the `timeline_offloading` pageserver
and tenant configs to true, now that offloading has been rolled out
without problems.
There is also a small fix in the tenant config merge function, where we
applied the `lazy_slru_download` value instead of `timeline_offloading`.

## Problem
This test would sometimes fail its assertion that a timeline does not
revert to active once archived. That's because it was using the
in-memory offload state, not the persistent state, so this was sometimes
lost across a pageserver restart.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10389
## Summary of changes
- When reading offload status, read from pageserver API _and_ remote
storage before considering the timeline offloaded
## Problem
Endpoint kept running while timeline was deleted, causing forbidden
warnings on the pageserver when the tenant is not found.
## Summary of changes
- Explicitly stop the endpoint before the end of the test, so that it
isn't trying to talk to the pageserver in the background while things
are torn down
## Problem
This is tech debt. While we introduced generations for tenants, some
legacy situations without generations needed to delete things inline
(async operation) instead of enqueing them (sync operation).
## Summary of changes

that the generation is always set
## Problem
Ref: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10632
We use dns named `*.localtest.me` in our test, and that domain is
well-known and widely used for that, with all the records there resolve
to the localhost, both IPv4 and IPv6: `127.0.0.1` and `::1`
In some cases on our runners these addresses resolves only to `IPv6`,
and so components fail to connect when runner doesn't have `IPv6`
address. We suspect issue in systemd-resolved here
(https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/17745)
To workaround that and improve test stability, we introduced our own
domain `*.local.neon.build` with IPv4 address `127.0.0.1` only
See full details and troubleshoot log in referred issue.
p.s.
If you're FritzBox user, don't forget to add that domain
`local.neon.build` to the `DNS Rebind Protection` section under `Home
Network -> Network -> Network Settings`, otherwise FritzBox will block
addresses, resolving to the local addresses.
For other devices/vendors, please check corresponding documentation, if
resolving `local.neon.build` will produce empty answer for you.
## Summary of changes
Replace all the occurrences of `localtest.me` with `local.neon.build`
## Problem
This test called NeonPageserver.tenant_detach, which as well as
detaching locally on the pageserver, also updates the storage controller
to put the tenant into Detached mode. When the test runs slowly in debug
mode, it sometimes takes long enough that the background_reconcile loop
wakes up and drops the tenant from memory in response, such that the
pageserver can't validate its deletions and the test does not behave as
expected.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10513
## Summary of changes
- Call the pageserver HTTP client directly rather than going via
NeonPageserver.tenant_detach
## Problem
During ingest_benchmark which uses `pgcopydb`

## Problem
We wish to make heatmap generation additive in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10597.
However, if the pageserver restarts and has a heatmap on disk from when
it was a secondary long ago,
we can end up keeping extra layers on the secondary's disk.
## Summary of changes
Persist the heatmap after a successful upload.
## Problem
Hopefully this can resolve
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10517. The reason why the
test is flaky is that after restart the compute node might write some
data so that the pageserver flush some layers, and in the end, causing
L0 compaction to run, and we cannot get the test scenario as we want.
## Summary of changes
Ensure all L0 layers are compacted before starting the test.

## Problem
Image layer generation could block L0 compactions for a long time.
## Summary of changes
* Refactored the return value of `create_image_layers_for_*` functions
to make it self-explainable.
* Preempt image layer generation in `Try` mode if L0 piles up.
Note that we might potentially run into a state that only the beginning
part of the keyspace gets image coverage. In that case, we either need
to implement something to prioritize some keyspaces with image coverage,
or tune the image_creation_threshold to ensure that the frequency of
image creation could keep up with L0 compaction.

## 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
