This makes the config type more convenient to work with: it
was previously carrying a serde_json::Value to force the
contained types to be opaque, which doesn't make a lot of
sense for an external interface.
## Problem
`black` is slow sometimes, we can replace it with `ruff format` (a new
feature in 0.1.2 [0]), which produces pretty similar to black style [1].
On my local machine (MacBook M1 Pro 16GB):
```
# `black` on main
$ hyperfine "BLACK_CACHE_DIR=/dev/null poetry run black ."
Benchmark 1: BLACK_CACHE_DIR=/dev/null poetry run black .
Time (mean ± σ): 3.131 s ± 0.090 s [User: 5.194 s, System: 0.859 s]
Range (min … max): 3.047 s … 3.354 s 10 runs
```
```
# `ruff format` on the current PR
$ hyperfine "RUFF_NO_CACHE=true poetry run ruff format"
Benchmark 1: RUFF_NO_CACHE=true poetry run ruff format
Time (mean ± σ): 300.7 ms ± 50.2 ms [User: 259.5 ms, System: 76.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 267.5 ms … 420.2 ms 10 runs
```

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)
