## Problem
When an endpoint is shutting down, it can take a few seconds. Currently
when starting a new compute, this causes an "endpoint is in transition"
error. We need to add delays before retrying to ensure that we allow
time for the endpoint to shutdown properly.
## Summary of changes
Adds a delay before retrying in auth. connect_to_compute already has
this delay
## Problem
I spent a few minutes seeing how fast I could get our regression test
suite to run on my workstation, for when I want to run a "did I break
anything?" smoke test before pushing to CI.
- Test runtime was dominated by a couple of tests that run for longer
than all the others take together
- Test concurrency was limited to <16 by the ports-per-worker setting
There's no "right answer" for how long a test should
be, but as a rule of thumb, no one test should run
for much longer than the time it takes to run all the
other tests together.
## Summary of changes
- Make the ports per worker setting dynamic depending on worker count
- Modify the longest running tests to run for a shorter time
(`test_duplicate_layers` which uses a pgbench runtime) or fewer
iterations (`test_restarts_frequent_checkpoints`).
## Problem
PR #4839 didn't output the keys/values in lsn order, but for a given
key, the lsns were kept in incoming file order.
I think the ordering by lsn is expected.
## Summary of changes
We now also sort by `(key, lsn)`, like we did before #4839.
## Problem
Running `pagectl draw-timeline` on a pageserver directory wasn't working
out of the box because it trips up on the `metadata` file.
## Summary of changes
Just ignore the `metadata` file in the list of input files passed to
`draw-timeline`.
Cache changes are now DEBUG2
Logs that indicate disabled caches now explicitly call out that the file cache is disabled on WARNING level instead of LOG/INFO
We currently cannot drop tenant before removing it's directory, or use
Tenant::drop for this. This creates unnecessary or inactionable warnings
during detach at least. Silence the most typical, file not found. Log
remaining at `error!`.
Cc: #2442
We don't know how our s3 remote_storage is performing, or if it's
blocking the shutdown. Well, for sampling reasons, we will not really
know even after this PR.
Add metrics:
- align remote_storage metrics towards #4813 goals
- histogram
`remote_storage_s3_request_seconds{request_type=(get_object|put_object|delete_object|list_objects),
result=(ok|err|cancelled)}`
- histogram `remote_storage_s3_wait_seconds{request_type=(same kinds)}`
- counter `remote_storage_s3_cancelled_waits_total{request_type=(same
kinds)}`
Follow-up work:
- After release, remove the old metrics, migrate dashboards
Histogram buckets are rough guesses, need to be tuned. In pageserver we
have a download timeout of 120s, so I think the 100s bucket is quite
nice.
## Problem
The current output from a prod binary at startup is:
```
git-env:765455bca22700e49c053d47f44f58a6df7c321f failpoints: true, features: [] launch_timestamp: 2023-08-02 10:30:35.545217477 UTC
```
It's confusing to read that line, then read the code and think "if
failpoints is true, but not in the features list, what does that mean?".
As far as I can tell, the check of `fail/failpoints` is just always
false because cargo doesn't expose features across crates like this: the
`fail/failpoints` syntax works in the cargo CLI but not from a macro in
some crate other than `fail`.
## Summary of changes
Remove the lines that try to check `fail/failpoints` from the pageserver
entrypoint module. This has no functional impact but makes the code
slightly easier to understand when trying to make sense of the line
printed on startup.
## Problem
Pre-requisites for #4852 and #4853
## Summary of changes
1. Includes the client's IP address (which we already log) with the span
info so we can have it on all associated logs. This makes making
dashboards based on IP addresses easier.
2. Switch to a consistent error/warning log for errors during
connection. This includes error, num_retries, retriable=true/false and a
consistent log message that we can grep for.
## Problem
The functions `DeltaLayer::load_inner` and `ImageLayer::load_inner` are
calling `read_blk` internally, which we would like to turn into an async
fn.
## Summary of changes
We switch from `once_cell`'s `OnceCell` implementation to the one in
`tokio` in order to be able to call an async `get_or_try_init` function.
Builds on top of #4839, part of #4743
During deploys of 2023-08-03 we logged too much on shutdown. Fix the
logging by timing each top level shutdown step, and possibly warn on it
taking more than a rough threshold, based on how long I think it
possibly should be taking. Also remove all shutdown logging from
background tasks since there is already "shutdown is taking a long time"
logging.

## Problem
`DiskBtreeReader::get` and `DiskBtreeReader::visit` both call `read_blk`
internally, which we would like to make async in the future. This PR
focuses on making the interface of these two functions `async`. There is
further work to be done in forms of making `visit` to not be recursive
any more, similar to #4838. For that, see
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/4884.
Builds on top of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/4839, part of
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4743
## Summary of changes
Make `DiskBtreeReader::get` and `DiskBtreeReader::visit` async functions
and `await` in the places that call these functions.
## Problem
When setting up for the first time I hit a couple of nits running tests:
- It wasn't obvious that `openssl` and `poetry` were needed (poetry is
mentioned kind of obliquely via "dependency installation notes" rather
than being in the list of rpm/deb packages to install.
- It wasn't obvious how to get the tests to run for just particular
parameters (e.g. just release mode)
## Summary of changes
Add openssl and poetry to the package lists.
Add an example of how to run pytest for just a particular build type and
postgres version.
## Problem
neon_fixtures.py has grown to unmanageable size. It attracts conflicts.
When adding specific utils under for example `fixtures/pageserver`
things sometimes need to import stuff from `neon_fixtures.py` which
creates circular import. This is usually only needed for type
annotations, so `typing.TYPE_CHECKING` flag can mask the issue.
Nevertheless I believe that splitting neon_fixtures.py into smaller
parts is a better approach.
Currently the PR contains small things, but I plan to continue and move
NeonEnv to its own `fixtures.env` module. To keep the diff small I think
this PR can already be merged to cause less conflicts.
UPD: it looks like currently its not really possible to fully avoid
usage of `typing.TYPE_CHECKING`, because some components directly depend
on each other. I e Env -> Cli -> Env cycle. But its still worth it to
avoid it in as many places as possible. And decreasing neon_fixture's
size still makes sense.
## Problem
If AWS credentials are not set locally (via
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID/AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY env vars)
`test_remote_library[release-pg15-mock_s3]` test fails with the
following error:
```
ERROR could not start the compute node: Failed to download a remote file: Failed to download S3 object: failed to construct request
```
## Summary of changes
- set AWS credentials for endpoints programmatically
## Problem
The k-merge in pageserver compaction currently relies on iterators over
the keys and also over the values. This approach does not support async
code because we are using iterators and those don't support async in
general. Also, the k-merge implementation we use doesn't support async
either. Instead, as we already load all the keys into memory, just do
sorting in-memory.
## Summary of changes
The PR can be read commit-by-commit, but most importantly, it:
* Stops using kmerge in compaction, using slice sorting instead.
* Makes `load_keys` and `load_val_refs` async, using `Handle::block_on`
in the compaction code as we don't want to turn the compaction function,
called inside `spawn_blocking`, into an async fn.
Builds on top of #4836, part of
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4743
## Problem
Error messages like this coming up during normal operations:
```
Compaction failed, retrying in 2s: timeline is Stopping
Compaction failed, retrying in 2s: Cannot run compaction iteration on inactive tenant
```
## Summary of changes
Add explicit handling for the shutdown case in these locations, to
suppress error logs.
as needed since #4715 or this will happen:
```
ERROR panic{thread=main location=.../hyper-rustls-0.23.2/src/config.rs:48:9}: no CA certificates found
```
Add infrastructure to dynamically load postgres extensions and shared libraries from remote extension storage.
Before postgres start downloads list of available remote extensions and libraries, and also downloads 'shared_preload_libraries'. After postgres is running, 'compute_ctl' listens for HTTP requests to load files.
Postgres has new GUC 'extension_server_port' to specify port on which 'compute_ctl' listens for requests.
When PostgreSQL requests a file, 'compute_ctl' downloads it.

Two stabs at this, by mocking a http receiver and the globals out (now
reverted) and then by separating the timeline dependency and just
testing what kind of events certain timelines produce. I think this
pattern could work for some of our problems.
Follow-up to #4822.
## Problem
When the eviction threshold is an integer multiple of the eviction
period, it is unreliable to skip imitating accesses based on whether the
last imitation was more recent than the threshold.
This is because as finite time passes
between the time used for the periodic execution, and the 'now' time
used for updating last_layer_access_imitation. When this is just a few
milliseconds, and everything else is on-time, then a 5 second threshold
with a 1 second period will end up entering its 5th iteration slightly
_less than_ 5 second since last_layer_access_imitation, and thereby
skipping instead of running the imitation. If a few milliseconds then
pass before we check the access time of a file that _should_ have been
bumped by the imitation pass, then we end up evicting something we
shouldn't have evicted.
## Summary of changes
We can make this race far less likely by using the threshold minus one
interval as the period for re-executing the imitate_layer_accesses: that
way we're not vulnerable to racing by just a few millis, and there would
have to be a delay of the order `period` to cause us to wrongly evict a
layer.
This is not a complete solution: it would be good to revisit this and
use a non-walltime mechanism for pinning these layers into local
storage, rather than relying on bumping access times.
## Problem
The k-merge in pageserver compaction currently relies on iterators over
the keys and also over the values. This approach does not support async
code because we are using iterators and those don't support async in
general. Also, the k-merge implementation we use doesn't support async
either. Instead, as we already load all the keys into memory, the plan
is to just do the sorting in-memory for now, switch to async, and then
once we want to support workloads that don't have all keys stored in
memory, we can look into switching to a k-merge implementation that
supports async instead.
## Summary of changes
The core of this PR is the move from functions on the `PersistentLayer`
trait to return custom iterator types to inherent functions on `DeltaLayer`
that return buffers with all keys or value references.
Value references are a type we created in this PR, containing a
`BlobRef` as well as an `Arc` pointer to the `DeltaLayerInner`, so that
we can lazily load the values during compaction. This preserves the
property of the current code.
This PR does not switch us to doing the k-merge via sort on slices, but
with this PR, doing such a switch is relatively easy and only requires
changes of the compaction code itself.

Upload Test Remote Extensions (#4792)
switched to using the release tag instead of `latest`, but,
the `promote-images` job only uploads `latest` to the prod ECR.
The switch to using release tag was good in principle, but,
reverting that part to make the release pipeine work.
Note that a proper fix should abandon use of `:latest` tag
at all: currently, if a `main` pipeline runs concurrently
with a `release` pipeline, the `release` pipeline may end
up using the `main` pipeline's images.

We want to have timeline_written_size_delta which is defined as
difference to the previously sent `timeline_written_size` from the
current `timeline_written_size`.
Solution is to send it. On the first round `disk_consistent_lsn` is used
which is captured during `load` time. After that an incremental "event"
is sent on every collection. Incremental "events" are not part of
deduplication.
I've added some infrastructure to allow somewhat typesafe
`EventType::Absolute` and `EventType::Incremental` factories per
metrics, now that we have our first `EventType::Incremental` usage.
## Problem
Compatibility tests fail from time to time due to `pg_tenant_only_port`
port collision (added in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/4731)
## Summary of changes
- replace `pg_tenant_only_port` value in config with new port
- remove old logic, than we don't need anymore
- unify config overrides
## Problem
Wrong use of `conf.listen_pg_addr` in `error!()`.
## Summary of changes
Use `listen_pg_addr_tenant_only` instead of `conf.listen_pg_addr`.

## Problem
1. In the CacheInvalid state loop, we weren't checking the
`num_retries`. If this managed to get up to `32`, the retry_after
procedure would compute 2^32 which would overflow to 0 and trigger a div
by zero
2. When fixing the above, I started working on a flow diagram for the
state machine logic and realised it was more complex than it had to be:
a. We start in a `Cached` state
b. `Cached`: call `connect_once`. After the first connect_once error, we
always move to the `CacheInvalid` state, otherwise, we return the
connection.
c. `CacheInvalid`: we attempt to `wake_compute` and we either switch to
Cached or we retry this step (or we error).
d. `Cached`: call `connect_once`. We either retry this step or we have a
connection (or we error) - After num_retries > 1 we never switch back to
`CacheInvalid`.
## Summary of changes
1. Insert a `num_retries` check in the `handle_try_wake` procedure. Also
using floats in the retry_after procedure to prevent the overflow
entirely
2. Refactor connect_to_compute to be more linear in design.
## Problem
Existing IndexPart unit tests only exercised the version 1 format (i.e.
without deleted_at set).
## Summary of changes
Add a test that sets version to 2, and sets a value for deleted_at.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4162
## Problem
`DiskBtreeReader::dump` calls `read_blk` internally, which we want to
make async in the future. As it is currently relying on recursion, and
async doesn't like recursion, we want to find an alternative to that and
instead traverse the tree using a loop and a manual stack.
## Summary of changes
* Make `DiskBtreeReader::dump` and all the places calling it async
* Make `DiskBtreeReader::dump` non-recursive internally and use a stack
instead. It now deparses the node in each iteration, which isn't
optimal, but on the other hand it's hard to store the node as it is
referencing the buffer. Self referential data are hard in Rust. For a
dumping function, speed isn't a priority so we deparse the node multiple
times now (up to branching factor many times).

I have verified that output is unchanged by comparing the output of this
command both before and after this patch:
```
cargo test -p pageserver -- particular_data --nocapture
```
## Problem
ref https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/4721, ref
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4709
## Summary of changes
This PR adds unit tests for wake_compute.
The patch adds a new variant `Test` to auth backends. When
`wake_compute` is called, we will verify if it is the exact operation
sequence we are expecting. The operation sequence now contains 3 more
operations: `Wake`, `WakeRetry`, and `WakeFail`.
The unit tests for proxy connects are now complete and I'll continue
work on WebSocket e2e test in future PRs.
