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.
This is a hacky implementation of WebSocket server, embedded into our
postgres proxy. The server is used to allow https://github.com/neondatabase/serverless
to connect to our postgres from browser and serverless javascript functions.
How it will work (general schema):
- browser opens a websocket connection to
`wss://ep-abc-xyz-123.xx-central-1.aws.neon.tech/`
- proxy accepts this connection and terminates TLS (https)
- inside encrypted tunnel (HTTPS), browser initiates plain
(non-encrypted) postgres connection
- proxy performs auth as in usual plain pg connection and forwards
connection to the compute

This fixes all kinds of problems related to missing params,
like broken timestamps (due to `integer_datetimes`).
This solution is not ideal, but it will help. Meanwhile,
I'm going to dedicate some time to improving connection machinery.
Note that this **does not** fix problems with passing certain parameters
in a reverse direction, i.e. **from client to compute**. This is a
separate matter and will be dealt with in an upcoming PR.
This patch aims to fix some of the inconsistencies in error reporting,
for example "Internal error" or "Console request failed" instead of
"password authentication failed for user '<NAME>'".
Previously, proxy didn't forward auxiliary `options` parameter
and other ones to the client's compute node, e.g.
```
$ psql "user=john host=localhost dbname=postgres options='-cgeqo=off'"
postgres=# show geqo;
┌──────┐
│ geqo │
├──────┤
│ on │
└──────┘
(1 row)
```
With this patch we now forward `options`, `application_name` and `replication`.

[proxy] Add the `password hack` authentication flow
This lets us authenticate users which can use neither
SNI (due to old libpq) nor connection string `options`
(due to restrictions in other client libraries).
Note: `PasswordHack` will accept passwords which are not
encoded in base64 via the "password" field. The assumption
is that most user passwords will be valid utf-8 strings,
and the rest may still be passed via "password_".
- Enabled process exporter for storage services
- Changed zenith_proxy prefix to just proxy
- Removed old `monitoring` directory
- Removed common prefix for metrics, now our common metrics have `libmetrics_` prefix, for example `libmetrics_serve_metrics_count`
- Added `test_metrics_normal_work`
Now proxy binary accepts `--auth-backend` CLI option, which determines
auth scheme and cluster routing method. Following backends are currently
implemented:
* legacy
old method, when username ends with `@zenith` it uses md5 auth dbname as
the cluster name; otherwise, it sends a login link and waits for the console
to call back
* console
new SCRAM-based console API; uses SNI info to select the destination
cluster
* postgres
uses postgres to select auth secrets of existing roles. Useful for local
testing
* link
sends login link for all usernames
* `cloud::legacy` talks to Cloud API V1.
* `cloud::api` defines Cloud API v2.
* `cloud::local` mocks the Cloud API V2 using a local postgres instance.
* It's possible to choose between API versions using the `--api-version` flag.
* [proxy] Add SCRAM auth
* [proxy] Implement some tests for SCRAM
* Refactoring + test fixes
* Hide SCRAM mechanism behind `#[cfg(test)]`
Currently we only use it in tests, so we hide all relevant
module behind `#[cfg(test)]` to prevent "unused item" warnings.
* [proxy] Propagate most errors to user
This change enables propagation of most errors to the user
(e.g. auth and connectivity errors). Some of them will be
stripped of sensitive information.
As a side effect, most occurrences of `anyhow::Error` were
replaced with concrete error types.
* [proxy] Box weighty errors
This change makes most parts of the code asynchronous, except
for the `mgmt` subsystem (we're going to drop it anyway).

This change causes writer halves of a TLS stream to always flush after a
portion of bytes has been written by `std::io::copy`. Furthermore, some
cosmetic and minor functional changes are made to facilitate debug.
- perform checkpoint for each tenant repository.
- wait for the completion of all threads.
Add new option 'immediate' to 'pageserver stop' command to terminate the pageserver immediately.
