## Problem
We don't have a well-documented, periodic benchmark for TPC-C like OLTP
workload.
## Summary of changes
# Benchbase TPC-C-like Performance Results
Runs TPC-C-like benchmarks on Neon databases using
[Benchbase](https://github.com/cmu-db/benchbase).
Docker images are built
[here](https://github.com/neondatabase-labs/benchbase-docker-images)
We run the benchmarks at different scale factors aligned with different
compute sizes we offer to customers.
For each scale factor, we determine a max rate (see Throughput in warmup
phase) and then run the benchmark at a target rate of approx. 70 % of
the max rate.
We use different warehouse sizes which determine the working set size -
it is optimized for LFC size of the respected pricing tier.
Usually we should get LFC hit rates above 70 % for this setup and quite
good, consistent (non-flaky) latencies.
## Expected performance as of first testing this
| Tier | CU | Warehouses | Terminals | Max TPS | LFC size | Working set
size | LFC hit rate | Median latency | p95 latency |
|------------|------------|---------------|-----------|---------|----------|------------------|--------------|----------------|-------------|
| free | 0.25-2 | 50 - 5 GB | 150 | 800 | 5 GB | 6.3 GB | 95 % | 170 ms
| 600 ms |
| serverless | 2-8 | 500 - 50 GB | 230 | 2000 | 26 GB | ?? GB | 91 % |
50 ms | 200 ms |
| business | 2-16 | 1000 - 100 GB | 330 | 2900 | 51 GB | 50 GB | 72 % |
40 ms | 180 ms |
Each run
- first loads the database (not shown in the dashboard).
- Then we run a warmup phase for 20 minutes to warm up the database and
the LFC at unlimited target rate (max rate) (highest throughput but
flaky latencies).
The warmup phase can be used to determine the max rate and adjust it in
the github workflow in case Neon is faster in the future.
- Then we run the benchmark at a target rate of approx. 70 % of the max
rate for 1 hour (expecting consistent latencies and throughput).
## Important notes on implementation:
- we want to eventually publish the process how to reproduce these
benchmarks
- thus we want to reduce all dependencies necessary to run the
benchmark, the only thing needed are
- docker
- the docker images referenced above for benchbase
- python >= 3.9 to run some config generation steps and create diagrams
- to reduce dependencies we deliberatly do NOT use some of our python
fixture test infrastructure to make the dependency chain really small -
so pls don't add a review comment "should reuse fixture xy"
- we also upload all generator python scripts, generated bash shell
scripts and configs as well as raw results to S3 bucket that we later
want to publish once this benchmark is reviewed and approved.
## Problem
* Fixes LKB-743
We get regular assertion failures on staging caused by a race with chaos
injector. If chaos injector decides to migrate a tenant shard between
the background optimisation planning and applying optimisations then we
attempt to migrate and already migrated shard and hit an assertion
failure.
## Summary of changes
@VladLazar fixed a variant of this issue by
adding`validate_optimization` recently, however it didn't validate the
specific property this other assertion requires. Fix is just to update
it to cover all the expected properties.

## Problem
We have been dealing with a number of issues with the SC compute
notification mechanism. Various race conditions exist in the
PG/HCC/cplane/PS distributed system, and relying on the SC to send
notifications to the compute node to notify it of PS changes is not
robust. We decided to pursue a more robust option where the compute node
itself discovers whether it may be pointing to the incorrect PSs and
proactively reconfigure itself if issues are suspected.
## Summary of changes
To support this self-healing reconfiguration mechanism several pieces
are needed. This PR adds a mechanism to `compute_ctl` called "refresh
configuration", where the compute node reaches out to the control plane
to pull a new config and reconfigure PG using the new config, instead of
listening for a notification message containing a config to arrive from
the control plane. Main changes to compute_ctl:
1. The `compute_ctl` state machine now has a new State,
`RefreshConfigurationPending`. The compute node may enter this state
upon receiving a signal that it may be using the incorrect page servers.
2. Upon entering the `RefreshConfigurationPending` state, the background
configurator thread in `compute_ctl` wakes up, pulls a new config from
the control plane, and reconfigures PG (with `pg_ctl reload`) according
to the new config.
3. The compute node may enter the new `RefreshConfigurationPending`
state from `Running` or `Failed` states. If the configurator managed to
configure the compute node successfully, it will enter the `Running`
state, otherwise, it stays in `RefreshConfigurationPending` and the
configurator thread will wait for the next notification if an incorrect
config is still suspected.
4. Added various plumbing in `compute_ctl` data structures to allow the
configurator thread to perform the config fetch.
The "incorrect config suspected" notification is delivered using a HTTP
endpoint, `/refresh_configuration`, on `compute_ctl`. This endpoint is
currently not called by anyone other than the tests. In a follow up PR I
will set up some code in the PG extension/libpagestore to call this HTTP
endpoint whenever PG suspects that it is pointing to the wrong page
servers.
## How is this tested?
Modified `test_runner/regress/test_change_pageserver.py` to add a
scenario where we use the new `/refresh_configuration` mechanism instead
of the existing `/configure` mechanism (which requires us sending a full
config to compute_ctl) to have the compute node reload and reconfigure
its pageservers.
I took one shortcut to reduce the scope of this change when it comes to
testing: the compute node uses a local config file instead of pulling a
config over the network from the HCC. This simplifies the test setup in
the following ways:
* The existing test framework is set up to use local config files for
compute nodes only, so it's convenient if I just stick with it.
* The HCC today generates a compute config with production settings
(e.g., assuming 4 CPUs, 16GB RAM, with local file caches), which is
probably not suitable in tests. We may need to add another test-only
endpoint config to the control plane to make this work.
The config-fetch part of the code is relatively straightforward (and
well-covered in both production and the KIND test) so it is probably
fine to replace it with loading from the local config file for these
integration tests.
In addition to making sure that the tests pass, I also manually
inspected the logs to make sure that the compute node is indeed
reloading the config using the new mechanism instead of going down the
old `/configure` path (it turns out the test has bugs which causes
compute `/configure` messages to be sent despite the test intending to
disable/blackhole them).

PR #12431 set initial lease deadline = 0s for tests.
This turned test_hot_standby_gc flaky because it now runs GC: it started
failing with `tried to request a page version that was garbage
collected`
because the replica reads below applied gc cutoff.
The leading theory is that, we run the timeline_gc() before the first
standby_horizon push arrives at PS. That is definitively a thing that
can happen with the current standby_horizon mechanism, and it's now
tracked as such in https://databricks.atlassian.net/browse/LKB-2499.
We don't have logs to confirm this theory though, but regardless,
try the fix in this PR and see if it stabilizes things.

## Problem
## Summary of changes
Another go at #12341. LKB-2497
We now only need 1 connect mechanism (and 1 more for testing) which
saves us some code and complexity. We should be able to remove the final
connect mechanism when we create a separate worker task for
pglb->compute connections - either via QUIC streams or via in-memory
channels.
This also now ensures that connect_once always returns a ConnectionError
type - something simple enough we can probably define a serialisation
for in pglb.
* I've abstracted connect_to_compute to always use TcpMechanism and the
ProxyConfig.
* I've abstracted connect_to_compute_and_auth to perform authentication,
managing any retries for stale computes
* I had to introduce a separate `managed` function for taking ownership
of the compute connection into the Client/Connection pair
## Problem
`postgres_exporter` has database collector enabled by default and it
doesn't filter out invalid databases, see
06a553c816/collector/pg_database.go (L67)
so if it hits one, it starts spamming logs

We don't use `pg_database_size_bytes` metric anyway, see

so just turn it off by passing `--no-collector.database`.
## Problem
A large insert or a large row will cause the codec to allocate a large
buffer. The codec never shrinks the buffer however. LKB-2496
## Summary of changes
1. Introduce a naive GC system for codec buffers
2. Try and reduce copies as much as possible
## Problem
Tenant split test revealed another bug with PG backpressure throttling
that under some cases PS may never report its progress back to SK (e.g.,
observed when aborting tenant shard where the old shard needs to
re-establish SK connection and re-ingest WALs from a much older LSN). In
this case, PG may get stuck forever.
## Summary of changes
As a general precaution that PS feedback mechanism may not always be
reliable, this PR uses the previously introduced WAL write rate limit
mechanism to slow down write rates instead of completely pausing it. The
idea is to introduce a new
`databricks_effective_max_wal_bytes_per_second`, which is set to
`databricks_max_wal_mb_per_second` when no PS back pressure and is set
to `10KB` when there is back pressure. This way, PG can still write to
SK, though at a very low speed.
The PR also fixes the problem that the current WAL rate limiting
mechanism is too coarse grained and cannot enforce limits < 1MB. This is
because it always resets the rate limiter after 1 second, even if PG
could have written more data in the past second. The fix is to introduce
a `batch_end_time_us` which records the expected end time of the current
batch. For example, if PG writes 10MB of data in a single batch, and max
WAL write rate is set as `1MB/s`, then `batch_end_time_us` will be set
as 10 seconds later.
## How is this tested?
Tweaked the existing test, and also did manual testing on dev. I set
`max_replication_flush_lag` as 1GB, and loaded 500GB pgbench tables.
It's expected to see PG gets throttled periodically because PS will
accumulate 4GB of data before flushing.
Results:

## Problem
There has been some inconsistencies of providing tenant config via
`tenant_create` and via other tenant config APIs due to how the
properties are processed: in `tenant_create`, the test framework calls
neon-cli and therefore puts those properties in the cmdline. In other
cases, it's done via the HTTP API by directly serializing to a JSON.
When using the cmdline, the program only accepts serde bool that is
true/false.
## Summary of changes
Convert Python bool into `true`/`false` when using neon-cli.

## Summary of changes
Use blocking reqwest.
This PR just mitigates the current issue.
Session variables can be set during one sql-over-http query and observed
on another when that pooled connection is re-used. To address this we
can use `RESET ALL;` before re-using the connection. LKB-2495
To be on the safe side, we can opt for a full `DISCARD ALL;`, but that
might have performance regressions since it also clears any query plans.
See pgbouncer docs
https://www.pgbouncer.org/config.html#server_reset_query.
`DISCARD ALL` is currently defined as:
```
CLOSE ALL;
SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION DEFAULT;
RESET ALL;
DEALLOCATE ALL;
UNLISTEN *;
SELECT pg_advisory_unlock_all();
DISCARD PLANS;
DISCARD TEMP;
DISCARD SEQUENCES;
```
I've opted to keep everything here except the `DISCARD PLANS`. I've
modified the code so that this query is executed in the background when
a connection is returned to the pool, rather than when taken from the
pool.
This should marginally improve performance for Neon RLS by removing 1
(localhost) round trip. I don't believe that keeping query plans could
be a security concern. It's a potential side channel, but I can't
imagine what you could extract from it.

## Problem
LKB-197, #9516
To make sure the migration path is smooth.
The previous plan is to store new relations in new keyspace and old ones
in old keyspace until it gets dropped. This makes the migration path
hard as we can't validate v2 writes and can't rollback. This patch gives
us a more smooth migration path:
- The first time we enable reldirv2 for a tenant, we copy over
everything in the old keyspace to the new one. This might create a short
spike of latency for the create relation operation, but it's oneoff.
- After that, we have identical v1/v2 keyspace and read/write both of
them. We validate reads every time we list the reldirs.
- If we are in `migrating` mode, use v1 as source of truth and log a
warning for failed v2 operations. If we are in `migrated` mode, use v2
as source of truth and error when writes fail.
- One compatibility test uses dataset from the time where we enabled
reldirv2 (of the original rollout plan), which only has relations
written to the v2 keyspace instead of the v1 keyspace. We had to adjust
it accordingly.
- Add `migrated_at` in index_part to indicate the LSN where we did the
initialize.
TODOs:
- Test if relv1 can be read below the migrated_at LSN.
- Move the initialization process to L0 compaction instead of doing it
on the write path.
- Disable relcache in the relv2 test case so that all code path gets
fully tested.
## Summary of changes
- New behavior of reldirv2 migration flags as described above.

## Problem
When testing tenant splits, I found that PG can get backpressure
throttled indefinitely if the split is aborted afterwards. It turns out
that each PageServer activates new shard separately even before the
split is committed and they may start sending PageserverFeedback to PG
directly. As a result, if the split is aborted, no one resets the
pageserver feedback in PG, and thus PG will be backpressure throttled
forever unless it's restarted manually.
## Summary of changes
This PR fixes this problem by having
`walprop_pg_process_safekeeper_feedback` simply ignore all pageserver
feedback from unknown shards. The source of truth here is defined by the
shard map, which is guaranteed to be reloaded only after the split is
committed.

## Problem
We drive the get page requests that have started processing to
completion. So in the case when the compute received a reconfiguration
request and the old connection has a request procesing on the
pageserver, we are going to issue the warning.
I spot checked a few instances of the warning and in all cases the
compute was already connected to the correct pageserver.
## Summary of Changes
Downgrade to INFO. It would be nice to somehow figure out if the
connection has been terminated in the meantime, but the terminate libpq
message is still in the pipe while we're doing the shard resolution.
Closes LKB-2381
The argument to BufTagInit was called 'spcOid', and it was also setting
a field called 'spcOid'. The field name would erroneously also be
expanded with the macro arg. It happened to work so far, because all the
users of the macro pass a variable called 'spcOid' for the 'spcOid'
argument, but as soon as you try to pass anything else, it fails. And
same story for 'dbOid' and 'relNumber'. Rename the arguments to avoid
the name collision.
Also while we're at it, add parens around the arguments in a few macros,
to make them safer if you pass something non-trivial as the argument.
## Problem
We don't detect if safekeeper migration fails after the the commiting
the membership configuration to the database. As a result, we might
leave stale timelines on excluded safekeepers and do not notify
cplane/safekepeers about new configuration.

Currently, the exporter exposes the same LFC metrics that are exposed by
the "autoscaling" sql_exporter in the docker image. With this, we can
remove the dedicated sql_exporter instance. (Actually doing the removal
is left as a TODO until this is rolled out to production and we have
changed autoscaling-agent to fetch the metrics from this new endpoint.)
The exporter runs as a Postgres background worker process. This is
extracted from the Rust communicator rewrite project, which will use the
same worker process for much more, to handle the communications with the
pageservers. For now, though, it merely handles the metrics requests.
In the future, we will add more metrics, and perhaps even APIs to
control the running Postgres instance.
The exporter listens on a Unix Domain socket within the Postgres data
directory. A Unix Domain socket is a bit unconventional, but it has some
advantages:
- Permissions are taken care of. Only processes that can access the data
directory, and therefore already have full access to the running
Postgres instance, can connect to it.
- No need to allocate and manage a new port number for the listener
It has some downsides too: it's not immediately accessible from the
outside world, and the functions to work with Unix Domain sockets are
more low-level than TCP sockets (see the symlink hack in
`postgres_metrics_client.rs`, for example).
To expose the metrics from the local Unix Domain Socket to the
autoscaling agent, introduce a new '/autoscaling_metrics' endpoint in
the compute_ctl's HTTP server. Currently it merely forwards the request
to the Postgres instance, but we could add rate limiting and access
control there in the future.

the get page response.
NB: effectively a no-op in the neon env since the handling is config

## Problem
When a pageserver suffers from a local disk/node failure and restarts,
the storage controller will receive a re-attach call and return all the
tenants the pageserver is suppose to attach, but the pageserver will not
act on any tenants that it doesn't know about locally. As a result, the
pageserver will not rehydrate any tenants from remote storage if it
restarted following a local disk loss, while the storage controller
still thinks that the pageserver have all the tenants attached. This
leaves the system in a bad state, and the symptom is that PG's
pageserver connections will fail with "tenant not found" errors.
## Summary of changes
Made a slight change to the storage controller's `re_attach` API:
* The pageserver will set an additional bit `empty_local_disk` in the
reattach request, indicating whether it has started with an empty disk
or does not know about any tenants.
* Upon receiving the reattach request, if this `empty_local_disk` bit is
set, the storage controller will go ahead and clear all observed
locations referencing the pageserver. The reconciler will then discover
the discrepancy between the intended state and observed state of the
tenant and take care of the situation.
To facilitate rollouts this extra behavior in the `re_attach` API is
guarded by the `handle_ps_local_disk_loss` command line flag of the
storage controller.

In case of larger number of databases and large `max_connections` we can
open too many connection for parallel apply config which may cause `Too
many open files` error.
## Summary of changes
Limit maximal number of parallel config apply connections by 100.

## Problem
While running tenant split tests I ran into a situation where PG got
stuck completely. This seems to be a general problem that was not found
in the previous chaos testing fixes.
What happened is that if PG gets throttled by PS, and SC decided to move
some tenant away, then PG reconfiguration could be blocked forever
because it cannot talk to the old PS anymore to refresh the throttling
stats, and reconfiguration cannot proceed because it's being throttled.
Neon has considered the case that configuration could be blocked if the
PG storage is full, but forgot the backpressure case.
## Summary of changes
The PR fixes this problem by simply skipping throttling while PS is
being configured, i.e., `max_cluster_size < 0`. An alternative fix is to
set those throttle knobs to -1 (e.g., max_replication_apply_lag),
however these knobs were labeled with PGC_POSTMASTER so their values
cannot be changed unless we restart PG.
## How is this tested?
Tested manually.

## Problem
We want to have the data-api served by the proxy directly instead of
relying on a 3rd party to run a deployment for each project/endpoint.
## Summary of changes
With the changes below, the proxy (auth-broker) becomes also a
"rest-broker", that can be thought of as a "Multi-tenant" data-api which
provides an automated REST api for all the databases in the region.
The core of the implementation (that leverages the subzero library) is
in proxy/src/serverless/rest.rs and this is the only place that has "new
logic".

Include the ip address (optionally read from an env var) in the
pageserver's registration request.
Note that the ip address is ignored by the storage controller at the
moment, which makes it a no-op
in the neon env.
A replacement for #10254 which allows us to introduce notice messages
for sql-over-http in the future if we want to. This also removes the
`ParameterStatus` and `Notification` handling as there's nothing we
could/should do for those.
## Problem
We've had bugs where the compute would use the stale default stripe size
from an unsharded tenant after the tenant split with a new stripe size.
## Summary of changes
Never specify a stripe size for unsharded tenants, to guard against
misuse. Only specify it once tenants are sharded and the stripe size
can't change.
Also opportunistically changes `GetPageSplitter` to return
`anyhow::Result`, since we'll be using this in other code paths as well
(specifically during server-side shard splits).
## Problem
Postgres will often immediately follow a relation existence check with a
relation size query. This incurs two roundtrips, and may prevent
effective caching.
See [Slack
thread](https://databricks.slack.com/archives/C091SDX74SC/p1751951732136139).
Touches #11728.
## Summary of changes
For the gRPC API:
* Add an `allow_missing` parameter to `GetRelSize`, which returns
`missing=true` instead of a `NotFound` error.
* Remove `CheckRelExists`.
There are no changes to libpq behavior.
