## Problem
Occasionally getting data from GH cache could be slow, with less than
10MB/s and taking 5+ minutes to download cache:
```

```
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/13956437454/job/39068664599#step:7:17
Resulting in getting cache even longer that build time.
## Summary of changes
Switch to the caches, that are closer to the runners, and they provided
stable throughput about 70-80MB/s
## Problem
Some useful debugging tools are missing from the compute image and
sometimes it's impossible to install them because memory is tightly
packed.
## Summary of changes
Add the following tools: iproute2, lsof, screen, tcpdump.
The other changes come from sorting the packages alphabetically.
```bash
$ docker image inspect ghcr.io/neondatabase/vm-compute-node-v16:7555 | jaq '.[0].Size'

To help with narrowing down
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/26362, we make the case
more noisy where we are wait for the shutdown of a specific task (in the
case of that issue, the `gc_loop`).
…ng (#11308)"
This reverts commit e5aef3747c.
The logic of this commit was incorrect:
enabling audit requires a restart of the compute,
because audit extensions use shared_preload_libraries.
So it cannot be done in the configuration phase,
require endpoint restart instead.
## Problem
While working on bulk import, I want to use the `control-plane-url` flag
for a different request.
Currently, the local compute hook is used whenever no control plane is
specified in the config.
My test requires local compute notifications and a configured
`control-plane-url` which isn't supported.
## Summary of changes
Add a `use-local-compute-notifications` flag. When this is set, we use
the local flow regardless of other config values.
It's enabled by default in neon_local and disabled by default in all
other envs. I had to turn the flag off in tests
that wish to bypass the local flow, but that's expected.

## Problem
- We need to support multiple SSL CA certificates for graceful root CA
certificate rotation.
- Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/25971
## Summary of changes
- Parses `ssl_ca_file` as a pem bundle, which may contain multiple
certificates. Single pem cert is a valid pem bundle, so the change is
backward compatible.
## Problem
- Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11113
- Building a new `reqwest::Client` for every request is expensive
because it parses CA certs under the hood. It's noticeable in storcon's
flamegraph.
## Summary of changes
- Reuse one `reqwest::Client` for all API calls to avoid parsing CA
certificates every time.
## Problem
Issue https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11254 describes a case

complete_shard_split
## Problem
Various aspects of the controller's job are already described in RFCs,

## Problem
SSL certs are loaded only during start up. It doesn't allow the rotation
of short-lived certificates without server restart.

## Problem
Now that stuck connections are quickly terminated it's not easy to
quickly find the right port from the pid to correlate the connection
with the one seen on pageserver side.
## Summary of changes
Call getsockname() and include the local port number in the
no-response-from-pageserver log messages.
## Problem
Currently, we only split tenants into 8 shards once, at the 64 GB split
threshold. For very large tenants, we need to keep splitting to avoid
huge shards. And we also want to eagerly split at a lower threshold to
improve throughput during initial ingestion.
See
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22532#issuecomment-2706215907
for details.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22532.
Requires #11157.
## Summary of changes
This adds parameters and logic to enable repeated splits when a tenant's
largest timeline divided by shard count exceeds `split_threshold`, as
well as eager initial splits at a lower threshold to speed up initial
ingestion. The default parameters are all set such that they retain the
current behavior in production (only split into 8 shards once, at 64
GB).
* `split_threshold` now specifies a maximum shard size. When a shard
exceeds it, all tenant shards are split by powers of 2 such that all
tenant shards fall below `split_threshold`. Disabled by default, like
today.
* Add `max_split_shards` to specify a max shard count for autosplits.
Defaults to 8 to retain current behavior.
* Add `initial_split_threshold` and `initial_split_shards` to specify a
threshold and target count for eager splits of unsharded tenants.
Defaults to 64 GB and 8 shards to retain current production behavior.
Because this PR sets `initial_split_threshold` to 64 GB by default, it
has the effect of enabling autosplits by default. This was not the case
previously, since `split_threshold` defaults to None, but it is already
enabled across production and staging. This is temporary until we
complete the production rollout.
For more details, see code comments.
This must wait until #11157 has been deployed to Pageservers.
Once this has been deployed to production, we plan to change the
parameters to:
* `split-threshold`: 256 GB
* `initial-split-threshold`: 16 GB
* `initial-split-shards`: 4
* `max-split-shards`: 16
The final split points will thus be:
* Start: 1 shard
* 16 GB: 4 shards
* 1 TB: 8 shards
* 2 TB: 16 shards
We will then change the default settings to be disabled by default.

## Problem
`fast_import` binary is being run inside neonvms, and they do not
support proper `kubectl describe logs` now, there are a bunch of other
caveats as well: https://github.com/neondatabase/autoscaling/issues/1320
Anyway, we needed a signal if job finished successfully or not, and if
not — at least some error message for the cplane operation. And after [a
short
discussion](https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C07PG8J1L0P/p1741954251813609),
that s3 object is the most convenient at the moment.
## Summary of changes
If `s3_prefix` was provided to `fast_import` call, any job run puts a
status object file into `{s3_prefix}/status/fast_import` with contents
`{"done": true}` or `{"done": false, "error": "..."}`. Added a test as
well
## Problem
See https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C04DGM6SMTM/p1741176713523469
The problem is that this function is using `PQgetCopyData(shard->conn,
&resp_buff.data, 1 /* async = true */)`
to try to fetch next message. But this function returns 0 if the whole
message is not present in the buffer.
And input buffer may contain only part of message so result is not
fetched.
## Summary of changes
Use `PQisBusy` + `WaitEventSetWait` to check if data is available and
`PQgetCopyData(shard->conn, &resp_buff.data, 0)` to read whole message
in this case.

If a tenant gets deleted, delete also all of its timelines. We assume
that by the time a tenant is being deleted, no new timelines are being
created, so we don't need to worry about races with creation in this
situation.
Unlike #11233, which was very simple because it listed the timelines and
invoked timeline deletion, this PR obtains a list of safekeepers to
invoke the tenant deletion on, and then invokes tenant deletion on each
safekeeper that has one or multiple timelines.
Alternative to #11233

storage controller.
- Add HTTPS handler for storage controller API.
- Support `ssl_ca_file` in pageserver.

## Problem
The pageserver upcall api was designed to work with control plane or the
storage controller.
We have completed the transition period and now the upcall api only
targets the storage controller.
## Summary of changes
Rename types accordingly and tweak some comments.
## Problem
We had a recent Postgres startup latency (`start_postgres_ms`)
degradation, but it was only caught with SLO alerts. There was actually
an existing test for the same purpose -- `start_postgres_ms`, but it's
doing only two starts, so it's a bit noisy.

Add new compute startup latency test that does 100 iterations and
reports p50, p90 and p99 latencies.

## Problem
Some extensions do not contain tests, which can be easily run on top of
docker-compose or staging.
## Summary of changes

Now they will be run on top of docker-compose, but I intend to adopt
them to be run on top staging in the next PRs
## Problem
We're seeing timeline creation failures that look suspiciously like some
race with the cleanup-deletion of initdb temporary directories. I
couldn't spot the bug, but we can make it a bit easier to debug.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11296
## Summary of changes
- Avoid surfacing distracting ENOENT failure to delete as a log error --
this is fine, and can happen if timeline is cancelled while doing
initdb, or if initdb itself has an error where it doesn't write the dir
(this error is surfaced separately)
- Log after purging initdb temp directories
The only difference between
- `pageserver_api::models::TenantConfig` and
- `pageserver::tenant::config::TenantConfOpt`
at this point is that `TenantConfOpt` serializes with
`skip_serializing_if = Option::is_none`.
That is an efficiency improvement for all the places that currently
serde `models::TenantConfig` because new serializations will no longer
write `$fieldname: null` for each field that is `None` at runtime.
This should be particularly beneficial for Storcon, which stores
JSON-serialized `models::TenantConfig` in its DB.
# Behavior Changes
This PR changes the serialization behavior: we omit `None` fields
instead of serializing `$fieldname: null`).
So it's a data format change (see section on compatibility below).
And it changes API responses from Storcon and Pageserver.
## API Response Compatibility
Storcon returns the location description.
Afaik it is passed through into
- storcon_cli output
- storcon UI in console admin UI
These outputs will no longer contain `$fieldname: null` values,
which de-bloats the output (good).
But in storcon UI, it also serves as an editor "default", which
will be eliminated after a storcon with this PR is released.
## Data Format Compatibility
Backwards compat: new software reading old serialized data will
deserialize to the same runtime value because all the field types
are exactly the same and `skip_serializing_if` does not affect
deserialization.
Forward compat: old software reading data serialized by new software
will map absence fields in the serialized form to runtime value
`Option::None`. This is serde default behavior, see this playground
to convince yourself:
https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2024&gist=f7f4e1a169959a3085b6158c022a05eb
The `serde(with="humantime_serde")` however behaves strangely:
if used on an `Option<Duration>`, it still requires the field to be
present,
unlike the serde default behavior shown in the previous paragraph.
The workaround is to set `serde(default)`.
Previously it was set on each individual field, but, we do have the
container attribute, so, set it there.
This requires deriving a `Default` impl, which, because all fields are
`Option`,
is non-magic.
See my notes here:
https://gist.github.com/problame/eddbc225a5d12617e9f2c6413e0cf799
# Future Work
We should have separate types (& crates) for
- runtime types configuration (e.g. PageServerConf::tenant_config,
AttachedLocationConf)
- `config-v1` file pageserver local disk file format
- `mgmt API`
- `pageserver.toml`
Right now they all use the same, which is convenient but makes it hard
to reason about compatibility breakage.

https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10993#issuecomment-2690428336
I added infinite retries for buffered writer flush IOs, primarily to
gracefully handle ENOSPC but more generally so that the buffered writer
is not left in a state where reads from the surrounding InMemoryLayer
cause panics.
However, I didn't add cancellation sensitivity, which is concerning
because then there is no way to detach a timeline/tenant that is
encountering the write IO errors.
That’s a legitimate scenario in the case of some edge case bug.
See the #10993 description for details.
This PR
- first makes flush loop infallible, enabled by infinite retries
- then adds sensitivity to `Timeline::cancel` to the flush loop, thereby
making it fallible in one specific way again
- finally fixes the InMemoryLayer/EphemeralFile/BufferedWriter
amalgamate to remain read-available after flush loop is cancelled.
The support for read-availability after cancellation is necessary so
that reads from the InMemoryLayer that are already queued up behind the
RwLock that wraps the BufferedWriter won't panic because of the
`mutable=None` that we leave behind in case the flush loop gets
cancelled.
# Alternatives
One might think that we can only ship the change for read-availability
if flush encounters an error, without the infinite retrying and/or
cancellation sensitivity complexity.
The problem with that is that read-availability sounds good but is
really quite useless, because we cannot ingest new WAL without a
writable InMemoryLayer. Thus, very soon after we transition to read-only
mode, reads from compute are going to wait anyway, but on `wait_lsn`
instead of the RwLock, because ingest isn't progressing.
Thus, having the infinite flush retries still makes more sense because
they're just "slowness" to the user, whereas wait_lsn is hard errors.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11210 migrated pushing images
to ghcr. Unfortunately, it was incomplete in using images from ghcr,
which resulted in a few places referencing the ghcr build-tools image,
while trying to use docker hub credentials.
## Summary of changes
Use build-tools image from ghcr consistently.
## Problem
The pipelines after release merges are slower than they need to be at
the moment. This is because some kinds of tests/checks run on all kinds
of pipelines, even though they only matter in some of those.
## Summary of changes
Run `check-codestyle-{rust,python,jsonnet}`, `build-and-test-locally`
and `trigger-e2e-tests` only on regular PRs, not release PR or pushes to
main or release branches.
Both crates seem well maintained. x509-cert is part of the high quality
RustCrypto project that we already make heavy use of, and I think it
makes sense to reduce the dependencies where possible.
## Problem
Docker Hub has new rate limits coming up, and to avoid problems coming
with those we're switching to GHCR.
## Summary of changes
- Push images to GHCR initially and distribute them from there
- Use images from GHCR in docker-compose
There is no functional change here. We move safekeeper related code from
`service.rs` to `service/safekeeper_service.rs`, so that safekeeper
related stuff is contained in a single file. This also helps with
preventing `service.rs` from growing even further.
Part of #9011.
## Problem
The test is flaky because of the same reasons as described in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11177.
The test has already suppressed these `WARN` and `ERROR` log messages,
but the regexp didn't match all possible errors.
## Summary of changes
- Change regexp to suppress all possible allowed error log messages.
PRs #10891 and #10902 have time-bounded the safekeeper heartbeating of
the storage controller. Those timeouts were not meant to be permanent,
but temporary until we figured out the reasons for the safekeeper
heartbeating causing problems.
Now they are better understood and resolved. A comment is
[here](https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24396#issuecomment-2679342929),
but most importantly, we've had:
* #10954 to send heartbeats concurrently (before the issue was we sent
them sequentially, so the total time time was number of nodes times time
for timeout to be hit, now the total time is the maximum of all things
we are heartbeating)
* work to actually make heartbeats work and not error, i.e. JWT rollout
for storcon, not sending heartbeats to decomissioned safekeepers,
removal of decomissioned safekeepers from the databases

## Problem
Unlogged build is used for GIST/SPGIST/GIN/HNSW indexes.
In this mode we first change relation class to `RELPERSISTENCE_UNLOGGED`
and save them on local disk.
But we do not save unlogged relations in LFC.
It may cause fetching incorrect value from LFC if relfilenode is reused.
## Summary of changes
Save modified pages in LFC on second stage of unlogged build (when
modified pages are walloged).
There is no need to save pages in LFC at first phase because the will be
in any case overwritten with assigned LSN at second phase.

Adds a basic test that makes the storcon issue explicit creation of a
timeline on safeekepers (main storcon PR in #11058). It was adapted from
`test_explicit_timeline_creation` from #11002.
Also, do a bunch of fixes needed to get the test work (the API
definitions weren't correct), and log more stuff when we can't create a
new timeline due to no safekeepers being active.

with `$$$` in a row which breaks the escaping.

## Problem
We analyzed workloads of large Neon users and want to extend the oltp
workload to include characteristics seen in those workloads.
## Summary of changes
- for re-use branch delete inserted rows from last run
- adjust expected run-time (time-outs) in GitHub workflow
- add queries that exposes the prefetch getpages path
- add I/U/D transactions for another table (so far the workload was
insert/append-only)
- add an explicit vacuum analyze step and measure its time
- add reindex concurrently step and measure its time (and take care that
this step succeeds even if prior reindex runs have failed or were
canceled)
- create a second connection string for the pooled connection that
removes the `-pooler` suffix from the hostname because we want to run
long-running statements (database maintenance) and bypass the pooler

# Problem High-Level
When storcon validates whether a `ScheduleOptimizationAction` should be
applied, it retrieves the `tenant_secondary_status` to determine whether
a secondary is ready for the optimization.
When collecting results, it associates secondary statuses with the wrong
optimization actions in the batch of optimizations that we're
validating.
The result is that we make the decision for shard/location X based on
the SecondaryStatus of a random secondary location Y in the current
batch of optimizations.
A possible symptom is an early cutover, as seen in this engineering
investigation here:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/25734
# Problem Code-Level
This code here in `optimize_all_validate`
97e2e27f68/storage_controller/src/service.rs (L7012-L7029)
zips the `want_secondary_status` with the Vec returned from
`tenant_for_shards_api` .
However, the Vec returned from `want_secondary_status` is not ordered
(it uses FuturesUnordered internally).
# Solution
Sort the Vec in input order before returning it.
`optimize_all_validate` was the only caller affected by this problem
While at it, also future-proof similar-looking function
`tenant_for_shards`.
None of its callers care about the order, but this type of function
signature is easy to use incorrectly.
# Future Work
Avoid the additional iteration, map, and allocation.
Change API to leverage AsyncFn (async closure).
And/or invert `tenant_for_shards_api` into a Future ext trait / iterator
adaptor thing.
Adds API definitions for the safekeeper API endpoints `exclude_timeline`
and `term_bump`. Also does a bugfix to return the correct type from
`delete_timeline`.

## Summary of changes

We want to switch away from and deprecate the `--compute-hook-url` param
for the storcon in favour of `--control-plane-url` because it allows us
to construct urls with `notify-safekeepers`.
This PR switches the pytests and neon_local from a
`control_plane_compute_hook_api` to a new param named
`control_plane_hooks_api` which is supposed to point to the parent of
the `notify-attach` URL.
We still support reading the old url from disk to not be too disruptive
with existing deployments, but we just ignore it.

## Problem
`l0_flush_delay_threshold` has already been set to 30 in production for
a couple of weeks. Let's harmonize the default.
## Summary of changes
Update `DEFAULT_L0_FLUSH_DELAY_FACTOR` to 3 such that the default
`l0_flush_delay_threshold` is `3 * compaction_threshold`.
This differs from the production setting, which is hardcoded to 30 (with
`compaction_threshold` at 10), and is more appropriate for any tenants
that have custom `compaction_threshold` overrides.
## Problem

# Problem
We leave too few observability breadcrumbs in the case where wait_lsn is
exceptionally slow.
# Changes
- refactor: extract the monitoring logic out of `log_slow` into
`monitor_slow_future`
- add global + per-timeline counter for time spent waiting for wait_lsn
- It is updated while we're still waiting, similar to what we do for
page_service response flush.
- add per-timeline counterpair for started & finished wait_lsn count
- add slow-logging to leave breadcrumbs in logs, not just metrics
For the slow-logging, we need to consider not flooding the logs during a
broker or network outage/blip.
The solution is a "log-streak-level" concurrency limit per timeline.
At any given time, there is at most one slow wait_lsn that is logging
the "still running" and "completed" sequence of logs.
Other concurrent slow wait_lsn's don't log at all.
This leaves at least one breadcrumb in each timeline's logs if some
wait_lsn was exceptionally slow during a given period.
The full degree of slowness can then be determined by looking at the
per-timeline metric.
# Performance
Reran the `bench_log_slow` benchmark, no difference, so, existing call
sites are fine.
We do use a Semaphore, but only try_acquire it _after_ things have
already been determined to be slow. So, no baseline overhead
anticipated.

Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22998
If control-plane reports that TLS should be used, load the certificates
(and watch for updates), make sure postgres use them, and detects
updates.
Procedure:
1. Load certificates
2. Reconfigure postgres/pgbouncer
3. Loop on a timer until certificates have loaded
4. Go to 1
Notes:
1. We only run this procedure if requested on startup by control plane.
2. We needed to compile pgbouncer with openssl enabled
3. Postgres doesn't allow tls keys to be globally accessible - must be
read only to the postgres user. I couldn't convince the autoscaling team
to let me put this logic into the VM settings, so instead compute_ctl
will copy the keys to be read-only by postgres.
4. To mitigate a race condition, we also verify that the key matches the
cert.
## Problem
There was a panic on staging that compaction didn't find any keys. This
is possible if all layers selected for compaction does not contain any
keys within the current shard.
## Summary of changes
Make panic an error. In the future, we can try creating an empty image
layer so that GC can clean up those layers. Otherwise, for now, we can
only rely on shard ancestor compaction to remove these data.

## Problem
`compaction_l0_first` has already been enabled in production for a
couple of weeks.
## Summary of changes
Enable `compaction_l0_first` by default.
Also set `CompactFlags::NoYield` in `timeline_checkpoint_handler`, to
ensure explicitly requested compaction runs to completion. This endpoint
is mainly used in tests, and caused some flakiness where tests expected
compaction to complete.
## Problem
#11061 introduced code fetching previous releases. #11151 introduced jq
error handling, which has also been applied in #11061, but parenthesis
have been missed.
## Summary of changes
Add parenthesis around error handling code.
## Problem
Autosplits always request `DEFAULT_STRIPE_SIZE` for splits. However,
splits do not allow changing the stripe size of already-sharded tenants,
and will error out if it differs.
In #11168, we are changing the stripe size, which could hit this when
attempting to autosplit already sharded tenants.
Touches #11168.
## Summary of changes
Pass `new_stripe_size: None` when autosplitting already sharded tenants.
Otherwise, pass `DEFAULT_STRIPE_SIZE` instead of the shard identity's
stripe size, since we want to use the current default rather than an
old, persisted default.
# Fix metric_unit length in test_compute_ctl_api.py
## Description
This PR changes the metric_unit from "microseconds" to "μs" in
test_compute_ctl_api.py to fix the issue where perf test results were
not being stored in the database due to the string exceeding the 10
character limit of the metric_unit column in the perf_test_results
table.
## Problem
As reported in Slack, the perf test results were not being uploaded to
the database because the "microseconds" string (12 characters) exceeds
the 10 character limit of the metric_unit column in the
perf_test_results table.
## Solution
Replace "microseconds" with "μs" in all metric_unit parameters in the
test_compute_ctl_api.py file.
## Testing
The changes have been committed and pushed. The PR is ready for review.

## Summary of changes
This patch adds a new behavior for the detach_ancestor API: detach with
multi-level ancestor and no reparenting. Though we can potentially
support multi-level + do reparenting / single-level + no-reparenting in
the future, as it's not required for the recovery/snapshot epic, I'd
prefer keeping things simple now that we only handle the old one and the
new one instead of supporting the full feature matrix.
I only added a test case of successful detaching instead of testing
failures. I'd like to make this into staging and add more tests in the
future.

## Problem
When we release our components, we perform builds in the release PR,
then test the components, then merge the PR, and then build everything
*again*, run tests *again*, and only then start deployments.
To speed things up, we want to perform builds and run tests in the PR,
and start deployments using the existing artifacts from the release PR.
To make that possible, we need to have both CI pipelines running on the
same commit hash, which requires fast forwarding release. That only
works, if we have a commit in the PR that has the current release branch
state as an ancestor.
## Summary of changes
- Changes to release PR creation:
- Remove templates and automatic bodies for release PRs. The previous
template wasn't used anymore, and the automatic body we created in the
pipeline didn't contain any useful content anymore after the changees
here.
- Make it possible to select the source branch. For releases that aren't
cut from `main`, like https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11051,
we need a way to trigger the new flow from a different branch.
- Determine `release-branch` automatically from the component name
instead of passing that as well.
- Changes to the merge queue job:
- Rename `get-changed-files` to `meta` in preparation of additional data
being fetched as part of that job
- Fail the merge queue if we're trying to merge into a branch other than
main - this is to prevent non-fast-forward merges.
- Label PRs to branches other than main as `fast-forward`, to trigger
the fast-forward job
- Add a fast-forward job that can be triggered with the `fast-forward`
label that performs a fast-forward merge. This only happens if the PR
has `mergeable_state == clean`, so CI having passed.
- Build and Test on releases now skips building images, skips testing
images and skips triggering e2e tests. We add new tags to the images
from the release PR to tag them as release images, and we push them to
the prod registries.
In our json encoding, we only need to know about array types.
Information about composites or enums are not actually used.
Enums are quite popular, needing to type query them when not needed can
add some latency cost for no gain.
## Problem
When a node becomes active, we query its locations and update the
observed state in-place.
This can race with the observed state updates done when processing
reconcile results.
## Summary of changes
The argument for this reconciliation step is that is reduces the need
for background reconciliations.
I don't think is actually true anymore. There's two cases.
1. Restart of node after drain. Usually the node does not go through the
offline state here, so observed locations
were not marked as none. In any case, there should be a handful of
shards max on the node since we've just drained it.
2. Node comes back online after failure or network partition. When the
node is marked offline, we reschedule everything away from it. When it
later becomes active, the previous observed location is extraneous and
requires a reconciliation anyway.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11148
## Problem
When the storage controller and Pageserver loads tenants from persisted
storage, it uses `ShardIdentity::unsharded()` for unsharded tenants.
However, this replaces the persisted stripe size of unsharded tenants
with the default stripe size.
This doesn't really matter for practical purposes, since the stripe size
is meaningless for unsharded tenants anyway, but can cause consistency
check failures if the persisted stripe size differs from the default.
This was seen in #11168, where we change the default stripe size.
Touches #11168.
## Summary of changes
Carry over the persisted stripe size from `TenantShardPersistence` for
unsharded tenants, and from `LocationConf` on Pageservers.
Also add bounds checks for type casts when loading persisted shard
metadata.
## Problem
`info_span!` is only used in a `linux` branch, causing the unused lint
to fire on macOS.
## Summary of changes
Fully qualify the `info_span!` use.
## Problem
`humantime` is unmaintained, we want to migrate to `jiff`, see
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11179.
`env_logger` in older versions depend on `humantime`, and newer versions
depend on `jiff`, so we need to update it.
## Summary of changes
Update `env_logger` to the most recent release, which does not depend on
`humantime` anymore.
## Problem
This command was used when onboarding tenants to the storage controller.
We no longer do that, so the command can go.
## Summary of changes
- Remove `storcon_cli tenant-warmup` command
## Problem
Test `test_timeline_archive` is flaky because it makes requests that are
intended to fail. It sometimes leads to warning in pageserver's logs.
More details are in the issue.
- Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11177
## Summary of changes
- Suppress such errors.
We want to export performance traces from the pageserver in OTEL format.
End goal is to see them in Grafana.
To this end, there are two changes here:
1. Update the `tracing-utils` crate to allow for explicitly specifying
the export configuration. Pageserver configuration is loaded from a file
on start-up. This allows us to use the same flow for export configs
there.
2. Update the `utils::logging::init` common entry point to set up OTEL
tracing infrastructure if requested. Note that an entirely different
tracing subscriber is used. This is to avoid interference with the
existing tracing set-up. For now, no service uses this functionality.
PR to plug this into the pageserver is
[here](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11140).

## Problem
This field was retained for backward compat only in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10707.
Once https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/pull/25233 is released,
nothing external will be reading this field.
Internally, this was a mandatory field so storage controller is still
trying to decode it, so we must do this removal in two steps: this PR
makes the field optional, and after one release we can fully remove it.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24250
## Summary of changes
- Rename field to `_unused`
- Remove field from swagger
- Make field optional

# Problem
If the Pageserver ingest path
(InMemoryLayer=>EphemeralFile=>BufferedWriter)
encounters ENOSPC or any other write IO error when flushing the mutable
buffer
of the BufferedWriter, the buffered writer is left in a state where
subsequent _reads_
from the InMemoryLayer it will cause a `must not use after we returned
an error` panic.
The reason is that
1. the flush background task bails on flush failure,
2. causing the `FlushHandle::flush` function to fail at channel.recv()
and
3. causing the `FlushHandle::flush` function to bail with the flush
error,
4. leaving its caller `BufferedWriter::flush` with
`BufferedWriter::mutable = None`,
5. once the InMemoryLayer's RwLock::write guard is dropped, subsequent
reads can enter,
6. those reads find `mutable = None` and cause the panic.
# Context
It has always been the contract that writes against the BufferedWriter
API
must not be retried because the writer/stream-style/append-only
interface makes no atomicity guarantees ("On error, did nothing or a
piece of the buffer get appended?").
The idea was that the error would bubble up to upper layers that can
throw away the buffered writer and create a new one. (See our [internal
error handling policy document on how to handle e.g.
`ENOSPC`](c870a50bc0/src/storage/handling_io_and_logical_errors.md (L36-L43))).
That _might_ be true for delta/image layer writers, I haven't checked.
But it's certainly not true for the ingest path: there are no provisions
to throw away an InMemoryLayer that encountered a write error an
reingest the WAL already written to it.
Adding such higher-level retries would involve either resetting
last_record_lsn to a lower value and restarting walreceiver. The code
isn't flexible enough to do that, and such complexity likely isn't worth
it given that write errors are rare.
# Solution
The solution in this PR is to retry _any_ failing write operation
_indefinitely_ inside the buffered writer flush task, except of course
those that are fatal as per `maybe_fatal_err`.
Retrying indefinitely ensures that `BufferedWriter::mutable` is never
left `None` in the case of IO errors, thereby solving the problem
described above.
It's a clear improvement over the status quo.
However, while we're retrying, we build up backpressure because the
`flush` is only double-buffered, not infinitely buffered.
Backpressure here is generally good to avoid resource exhaustion, **but
blocks reads** and hence stalls GetPage requests because InMemoryLayer
reads and writes are mutually exclusive.
That's orthogonal to the problem that is solved here, though.
## Caveats
Note that there are some remaining conditions in the flush background
task where it can bail with an error. I have annotated one of them with
a TODO comment.
Hence the `FlushHandle::flush` is still fallible and hence the overall
scenario of leaving `mutable = None` on the bail path is still possible.
We can clean that up in a later commit.
Note also that retrying indefinitely is great for temporary errors like
ENOSPC but likely undesirable in case the `std::io::Error` we get is
really due to higher-level logic bugs.
For example, we could fail to flush because the timeline or tenant
directory got deleted and VirtualFile's reopen fails with ENOENT.
Note finally that cancellation is not respected while we're retrying.
This means we will block timeline/tenant/pageserver shutdown.
The reason is that the existing cancellation story for the buffered
writer background task was to recv from flush op channel until the
sending side (FlushHandle) is explicitly shut down or dropped.
Failing to handle cancellation carries the operational risk that even if
a single timeline gets stuck because of a logic bug such as the one laid
out above, we must still restart the whole pageserver process.
# Alternatives Considered
As pointed out in the `Context` section, throwing away a InMemoryLayer
that encountered an error and reingesting the WAL is a lot of complexity
that IMO isn't justified for such an edge case.
Also, it's wasteful.
I think it's a local optimum.
A more general and simpler solution for ENOSPC is to `abort()` the
process and run eviction on startup before bringing up the rest of
pageserver.
I argued for it in the past, the pro arguments are still valid and
complete:
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1716896265296329
The trouble at the time was implementing eviction on startup.
However, maybe things are simpler now that we are fully storcon-managed
and all tenants have secondaries.
For example, if pageserver `abort()`s on ENOSPC and then simply don't
respond to storcon heartbeats while we're running eviction on startup,
storcon will fail tenants over to the secondary anyway, giving us all
the time we need to clean up.
The downside is that if there's a systemic space management bug, above
proposal will just propagate the problem to other nodes. But I imagine
that because of the delays involved with filling up disks, the system
might reach a half-stable state, providing operators more time to react.

# Perf Testing
Ran `bench_ingest` on tmpfs, no measurable difference.
Spans are uniquely owned by the flush task, and the span stack isn't too
deep, so, enter and exit should be cheap.
Plus, each flush takes ~150us with direct IO enabled, so, not _that_
high frequency event anyways.

## Summary of changes
Do some refactoring before making walproposer generations aware.
- Rename SS_VOTING to SS_WAIT_VOTING, SS_IDLE to SS_WAIT_ELECTED
- Continue to get rid of epochs: rename GetEpoch to GetLastLogTerm,
donorEpoch to donorLastLogTerm
- Instead of counting n_votes, n_connected, introduce explicit
WalProposerState (collecting terms / voting / elected). Refactor out
TermsCollected and VotesCollected; they will determine state transition
differently depending whether generations are enabled or not.
There is no new logic in this PR and thus no new tests.
## Problem
In #11122, we want to split shards once the logical size of the largest
timeline exceeds a split threshold. However, `get_top_tenants` currently
only returns `max_logical_size`, which tracks the max _total_ logical
size of a timeline across all shards.
This is problematic, because the storage controller needs to fetch a
list of N tenants that are eligible for splits, but the API doesn't
currently have a way to express this. For example, with a split
threshold of 1 GB, a tenant with `max_logical_size` of 4 GB is eligible
to split if it has 1 or 2 shards, but not if it already has 4 shards. We
need to express this in per-shard terms, otherwise the `get_top_tenants`
endpoint may end up only returning tenants that can't be split, blocking
splits entirely.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11122.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22532.
## Summary of changes
Add `TenantShardItem::max_logical_size_per_shard` containing
`max_logical_size / shard_count`, and
`TenantSorting::MaxLogicalSizePerShard` to order and filter by it.
Fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/serverless/issues/144
When tables have enums, we need to perform type queries for that data.
We cache these query statements for performance reasons. In Neon RLS, we
run "discard all" for security reasons, which discards all the
statements. When we need to type check again, the statements are no
longer valid.
This fixes it to discard the statements as well.
I've also added some new logs and error types to monitor this. Currently
we don't see the prepared statement errors in our logs.
# Refs

# Problem
`VirtualFile` currently parses the path it is opened with to identify
the `tenant,shard,timeline` labels to be used for the `STORAGE_IO_SIZE`
metric.
Further, for each read or write call to VirtualFile, it uses
`with_label_values` to retrieve the correct metrics object, which under
the hood is a global hashmap guarded by a parking_lot mutex.
We perform tens of thousands of reads and writes per second on every
pageserver instance; thus, doing the mutex lock + hashmap lookup is
wasteful.
# Changes
Apply the technique we use for all other timeline-scoped metrics to
avoid the repeat `with_label_values`: add it to `TimelineMetrics`.
Wrap `TimelineMetrics` into an `Arc`.
Propagate the `Arc<TimelineMetrics>` down do `VirtualFile`, and use
`Timeline::metrics::storage_io_size`.
To avoid contention on the `Arc<TimelineMetrics>`'s refcount atomics
between different connection handlers for the same timeline, we wrap it
into another Arc.
To avoid frequent allocations, we store that Arc<Arc<TimelineMetrics>>
inside the per-connection timeline cache.
Preliminary refactorings to enable this change:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11001
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11030
# Performance
I ran the benchmarks in
`test_runner/performance/pageserver/pagebench/test_pageserver_max_throughput_getpage_at_latest_lsn.py`
on an `i3en.3xlarge` because that's what we currently run them on.
None of the benchmarks shows a meaningful difference in latency or
throughput or CPU utilization.
I would have expected some improvement in the
many-tenants-one-client-each workload because they all hit that hashmap
constantly, and clone the same `UintCounter` / `Arc` inside of it.
But apparently the overhead is miniscule compared to the remaining work
we do per getpage.
Yet, since the changes are already made, the added complexity is
manageable, and the perf overhead of `with_label_values` demonstrable in
micro-benchmarks, let's have this change anyway.
Also, propagating TimelineMetrics through RequestContext might come in
handy down the line.
The micro-benchmark that demonstrates perf impact of
`with_label_values`, along with other pitfalls and mitigation techniques
around the `metrics`/`prometheus` crate:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11019
# Alternative Designs
An earlier iteration of this PR stored an `Arc<Arc<Timeline>>` inside
`RequestContext`.
The problem is that this risks reference cycles if the RequestContext
gets stored in an object that is owned directly or indirectly by
`Timeline`.
Ideally, we wouldn't be using this mess of Arc's at all and propagate
Rust references instead.
But tokio requires tasks to be `'static`, and so, we wouldn't be able to
propagate references across task boundaries, which is incompatible with
any sort of fan-out code we already have (e.g. concurrent IO) or future
code (parallel compaction).
So, opt for Arc for now.
We use the `metrics` / `prometheus` crate in the Pageserver code base.
This PR demonstrates
- typical performance pitfalls with that crate
- our current set of techniques to avoid most of these pitfalls.

This allows for improved decoding of otherwise broken WAL.

Currently, if (or when) a WAL record has a wrong prevptr, that breaks

## Problem
`home_shard_count` is not updated on the preferred AZ change.

## Problem
See https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C08DE6Q9C3B
Sometimes compute is not able to receive responses from PS for a long
time (minutes).
I do not think that the problem is at compute side, but in order to
exclude this possibility I wan to see more information about connection
state at compute side, particularly amount of data cached in connection
buffer.
## Summary of changes
Right now we are dumping state of socket buffer.
This PR adds printing state of connection buffer.

Previously, remote extensions were not fetched unless they were used in
some other manner. For instance, loading a BM25 index in pg_search
fetches the pg_search extension. However, if on a fresh compute with
pg_search 0.15.5 installed, the user ran `ALTER EXTENSION pg_search
UPDATE TO '0.15.6'` without first using the pg_search extension, we
would not fetch the extension and fail to find an update path.

## Problem
Storage controller uses http for requests to safekeeper management API.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24835
## Summary of changes
- Add `use_https_safekeeper_api` option to storcon to use https api
- Use https for requests to safekeeper management API if this option is
enabled
- Add `ssl_ca_file` option to storcon for ability to specify custom root
CA certificate
## Problem
The current migration API does a live migration, but if the destination
doesn't already have a secondary, that live migration is unlikely to be
able to warm up a tenant properly within its timeout (full warmup of a
big tenant can take tens of minutes).
Background optimisation code knows how to do this gracefully by creating
a secondary first, but we don't currently give a human a way to trigger
that.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10540
## Summary of changes
- Add `prefererred_node` parameter to TenantShard, which is respected by
optimize_attachment
- Modify migration API to have optional prewarm=true mode, in which we
set preferred_node and call optimize_attachment, rather than directly
modifying intentstate
- Require override_scheduler=true flag if migrating somewhere that is a
less-than-optimal scheduling location (e.g. wrong AZ)
- Add `origin_node_id` to migration API so that callers can ensure
they're moving from where they think they're moving from
- Add tests for the above
The storcon_cli wrapper for this has a 'watch' mode that waits for
eventual cutover. This doesn't show the warmth of the secondary evolve
because we don't currently have an API for that in the controller, as
the passthrough API only targets attached locations, not secondaries. It
would be straightforward to add later as a dedicated endpoint for
getting secondary status, then extend the storcon_cli to consume that
and print a nice progress indicator.
## Problem
Shard zero needs to track the start LSN of the latest record
in adition to the LSN of the next record to ingest. The former
is included in basebackup persisted by the compute in WAL.
Previously, empty records were skipped for all shards. This caused
the prev LSN tracking on the PS to fall behind and led to logical
replication
issues.
## Summary of changes
Shard zero now receives emtpy interpreted records for LSN tracking

The plan is outlined in
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22532#issuecomment-2706215907.
## Summary of changes
Minor code cleanups and behavioral changes:
* Decide that we'll split based on `max_logical_size` (later possibly
`total_logical_size`).
* Fix a bug that would split the smallest candidate rather than the
largest.
* Pick the largest candidate by `max_logical_size` rather than
`resident_size`, for consistency (debatable).
* Split out `get_top_tenant_shards()` to fetch split candidates.
* Fetch candidates concurrently from all nodes.
* Make `TenantShard.get_scheduling_policy()` return a copy instead of a
reference.
We have introduced the ability to specify safekeeper JWTs for the
storage controller. It now does heartbeats. We now want to also require
the presence of those JWTs.

## Summary of changes
gc-compaction could take a long time in some cases, for example, if the
job split heuristics is wrong and we selected a too large region for
compaction that can't be finished within a reasonable amount of time. We
will give up such tasks and yield to L0 compaction. Each gc-compaction
sub-compaction job is atomic and cannot be split further so we have to
give up (instead of storing a state and continue later as in image
creation).

team to work on tests changes.
## Summary of changes

2. Add PerCorr team as owner for `test_runner/` folder
## Problem
In f37eeb56, I properly escaped the identifier, but I haven't noticed
that the resulting string is used in the `format('...')`, so it needs
additional escaping. Yet, after looking at it closer and with Heikki's
and Tristan's help, it appeared to be that it's a full can of worms and
we have problems all over the code in places where we use PL/pgSQL
blocks.
## Summary of changes
Add a new `pg_quote_dollar()` helper to deal with it, as dollar-quoting
of strings seems to be the only robust way to escape strings in dynamic
PL/pgSQL blocks. We mimic the Postgres' `pg_get_functiondef` logic here
[1].
While on it, I added more tests and caught a couple of more bugs with
string escaping:
1. `get_existing_dbs_async()` was wrapping `owner` in additional
double-quotes if it contained special characters
2. `construct_superuser_query()` was flawed in even more ways than the
rest of the code. It wasn't realistic to fix it quickly, but after
thinking about it more, I realized that we could drop most of it
altogether. IIUC, it was added as some sort of migration, probably back
when we haven't had migrations yet. So all the complicated code was
needed to properly update existing roles and DBs. In the current Neon,
this code only runs before we create the very first DB and role. When we
create roles and DBs, all `neon_superuser` grants are added in the
different places. So the worst thing that could happen is that there is
an ancient branch somewhere, so when users poke it, they will realize
that not all Neon features work as expected. Yet, the fix is simple and
self-serve -- just create a new role via UI or API, and it will get a
proper `neon_superuser` grant.

TL;DR in Postgres, it's totally normal to have 'invalid' DBs (state
after the interrupted `DROP DATABASE`). Yet, some of our metrics
collected with `sql_exporter` try to get the size of such invalid DBs.
Typical log lines:
```

```
## Summary of changes

## Problem
On unarchival, we update the previous heatmap with all visible layers.
When the primary generates a new heatmap it includes all those layers,
so the secondary will download them. Since they're not actually resident
on the primary (we didn't call the warm up API), they'll never be
evicted,
so they remain in the heatmap.
We want these layers in the heatmap, since we might wish to warm-up an
unarchived timeline after a shard migration. However, we don't want them
to be downloaded on the secondary until we've warmed up the primary.
## Summary of Changes
Include these layers in the heatmap and mark them as cold. All heatmap
operations act on non-cold layers apart from the attached location
warming up API,
which will download the cold layers. Once the cold layers are downloaded
on the primary,
they'll be included in the next heatmap as hot and the secondary starts
fetching them too.
## Problem
I like using `cargo stress` to hammer on a test, but it doesn't work out

the same repo dir.
## Summary of changes

## Problem
In a batch, `pageserver_layers_per_read_global` counts all layer visits
towards every read in the batch, since this directly affects the
observed latency of the read. However, this doesn't give a good picture
of the amortized read amplification due to batching.
## Summary of changes
Add two more global read amp metrics:
* `pageserver_layers_per_read_batch_global`: number of layers visited
per batch.
* `pageserver_layers_per_read_amortized_global`: number of layers
divided by reads in a batch.
* Remove callsite identifier registration on span creation. Forgot to
remove from last PR. Was part of alternative idea.
* Move "spans" object to right after "fields", so event and span fields

Do not drop tablesync replication slots on the publisher,
when we're in the process of dropping subscriptions inherited by a neon

Because these slots are still needed by the parent branch subscriptions.
For regular slots we handle this by setting the slot_name to NONE

SQL.

## Problem

supposed to panic, but we may as well).
## Problem

## Problem
The code to generate symbolized pprof heap profiles and flamegraph SVGs
has been upstreamed to the `jemalloc_pprof` crate:
* https://github.com/polarsignals/rust-jemalloc-pprof/pull/22
* https://github.com/polarsignals/rust-jemalloc-pprof/pull/23
## Summary of changes
Use `jemalloc_pprof` to generate symbolized pprof heap profiles and
flamegraph SVGs.
This reintroduces a bunch of internal jemalloc stack frames that we'd
previously strip, e.g. each stack now always ends with
`prof_backtrace_impl` (where jemalloc takes a stack trace for heap
profiling), but that seems ok.
## Problem
Incoming requests often take the service lock, and sometimes even do
database transactions. That creates a risk that a rogue client can
starve the controller of the ability to do its primary job of
reconciling tenants to an available state.
## Summary of changes
* Use the `governor` crate to rate limit tenant requests at 10 requests
per second. This is ~10-100x lower than the worst "attack" we've seen
from a client bug. Admin APIs are not rate limited.
* Add a `storage_controller_http_request_rate_limited` histogram for
rate limited requests.
* Log a warning every 10 seconds for rate limited tenants.
The rate limiter is parametrized on TenantId, because the kinds of
client bug we're protecting against generally happen within tenant
scope, and the rates should be somewhat stable: we expect the global
rate of requests to increase as we do more work, but we do not expect
the rate of requests to one tenant to increase.

The interpreted reader tracks a record aligned current position in the
WAL stream.
Partial reads move the stream internally, but not from the pov of the
interpreted WAL reader.
Hence, where new shards subscribe with a start position that matches the
reader's current position,
but we've also done some partial reads. This confuses the gap tracking.
To make it more robust,
update the current batch start to the min between the new start position
and its current value.
Since no record has been decoded yet (position matches), we can't have
lost it
## Problem

## Problem
Image layers may be nested inside in-memory layers as diagnosed
[here](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10720#issuecomment-2649419252).
The read path doesn't support this and may skip over the image layer,
resulting in a failure to reconstruct the page.
## Summary of changes
We already support nesting of image layers inside delta layers. The
logic lives in `LayerMap::select_layer`.
The main goal of this PR is to propagate the candidate in-memory layer
down to that point and update
the selection logic.
Important changes are:
1. Support partial reads for the in-memory layer. Previously, we could
only specify the start LSN of the read.
We need to control the end LSN too.
2. `LayerMap::ranged_search` considers in-memory layers too. Previously,
the search for in-memory layers
was done explicitly in `Timeline::get_reconstruct_data_timeline`. Note
that `LayerMap::ranged_search` now returns
a weak readable layer which the `LayerManager` can upgrade. This dance
is such that we can unit test the layer selection logic.
3. Update `LayerMap::select_layer` to consider the candidate in-memory
layer too
Loosely related drive bys:
1. Remove the "keys not found" tracking in the ranged search. This
wasn't used anywhere and it just complicates things.
2. Remove the difficulty map stuff from the layer map. Again, not used
anywhere.

## Problem
If a caller times out on safekeeper timeline deletion on a large
timeline, and waits a while before retrying, the deletion will not
progress while the retry is waiting. The net effect is very very slow
deletion as it only proceeds in 30 second bursts across 5 minute idle
periods.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10265

failed
## Problem
We want to support larger tenants (regarding logical database size,

This PR covers the first version and will be extended in further PRs.
Also fix some infrastructure:
- default for new connections and large tenants is to use connection
pooler pgbouncer, however our fixture always added
`statement_timeout=120` which is not compatible with pooler
[see](https://neon.tech/docs/connect/connection-errors#unsupported-startup-parameter)
- action to create branch timed out after 10 seconds and 10 retries but
for large tenants it can take longer so use increasing back-off for
retries

canecellation error is smushed into BasebackupError::Server.
## Summary of changes
Introduce BasebackupError::Shutdown and use it. `log_query_error` will
now see `QueryError::Shutdown` and log at info level.

## Summary of changes
Add walproposer `safekeepers_generations` field which can be set by
prefixing `neon.safekeepers` GUC with `g#n:`. Non zero value (n) forces
walproposer to use generations. In particular, this also disables
implicit timeline creation as timeline will be created by storcon. Add
test checking this. Also add missing infra: `--safekeepers-generation`
flag to neon_local endpoint start + fix `--start-timeout` flag: it
existed but value wasn't used.

## Problem
We have not synced `force-test-extensions-upgrade.yml` with the last
changes.
The variable `TEST_EXTENSIONS_UPGRADE` was ignored in the script and
actually set to `NEW_COMPUTE_TAG` while it should be set to
`OLD_COMPUTE_TAG` as we are about to run compatibility tests.
## Summary of changes
The tag names were synced, the logic was fixed.
To speed up compute startup. Resizing swap in particular takes about 100
ms on my laptop. By performing it in parallel with downloading the
basebackup, that latency is effectively hidden. I would imagine that
downloading remote extensions can also take a non-trivial amount of
time, although I didn't try to measure that. In any case that's now also
performed in parallel with downloading the basebackup.
Move most of the code to compute.rs, so that all the major startup steps
are visible in one place. You can now get a pretty good picture of what
happens in the latency-critical path at compute startup by reading
ComputeNode::start_compute().
This also clarifies the error handling in start_compute. Previously, the
start_postgres function sometimes returned an Err, and sometimes Ok but
with the compute status already set to Failed. Now the start_compute
function always returns Err on failure, and it's the caller's
responsibility to change the compute status to Failed. Separately from
that, it returns a handle to the Postgres process via a `&mut` reference
if it had already started Postgres (i.e. on success, or if the failure
happens after launching the Postgres process).

## Problem
In multi-character keys, the GIN index creates a CRC Hash of the first 3
bytes of the key.
The hash can have the first bit to be set or unset, needing to have a
consistent representation
of `char` across architectures for consistent results. GIN stores these
keys by their hashes
which determines the order in which the keys are obtained from the GIN
index.
By default, chars are signed in x86 and unsigned in arm, leading to
inconsistent behavior across different platform architectures. Adding
the `-fsigned-char` flag to the GCC compiler forces chars to be treated
as signed across platforms, ensuring the ordering in which the keys are
obtained consistent.
## Summary of changes
Added `-fsigned-char` to the `CFLAGS` to force GCC to use signed chars
across platforms.
Added a test to check this across platforms.
Fixes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23199

## Problem
`wait_for_active_tenant()`, used when starting background tasks, has a
race condition that can cause it to wait forever (until cancelled). It
first checks the current tenant state, and then subscribes for state

notified about it.
We've seen this wedge compaction tasks, which can cause unbounded layer
file buildup and read amplification.
## Summary of changes
Use `watch::Receiver::wait_for()` to check both the current and new
tenant states.
## Problem
JWT tokens aren't in place, so all SK heartbeats fail. This is
equivalent to a wait before applying the PS heartbeats and makes things

runtime.

For TLS between proxy and compute, we are using an internally
provisioned CA to sign the compute certificates. This change ensures
that proxy will load them from a supplied env var pointing to the
correct file - this file and env var will be configured later, using a
kubernetes secret.
Control plane responds with a `server_name` field if and only if the
compute uses TLS. This server name is the name we use to validate the
certificate. Control plane still sends us the IP to connect to as well
(to support overlay IP).
To support this change, I'd had to split `host` and `host_addr` into
separate fields. Using `host_addr` and bypassing `lookup_addr` if
possible (which is what happens in production). `host` then is only used
for the TLS connection.
There's no blocker to merging this. The code paths will not be triggered
until the new control plane is deployed and the `enableTLS` compute flag
is enabled on a project.
## Problem
This `critical!` could fire on IO errors, which is just noisy.

## Summary of changes
Downgrade to error, except for decode errors. These could be either data
corruption or a bug, but seem worth investigating either way.
# Changes
While working on
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7202
I found myself needing to cache another expensive Arc::clone inside
inside the timeline::handle::Cache by wrapping it in another Arc.
Before this PR, it seemed like the only expensive thing we were caching
was the
connection handler tasks' clone of `Arc<Timeline>`.
But in fact the GateGuard was another such thing, but it was
special-cased
in the implementation.
So, this refactoring PR de-special-cases the GateGuard.
# Performance
With this PR we are doing strictly _less_ operations per `Cache::get`.
The reason is that we wrap the entire `Types::Timeline` into one Arc.
Before this PR, it was a separate Arc around the Arc<Timeline> and
one around the Arc<GateGuard>.
With this PR, we avoid an allocation per cached item, namely,
the separate Arc around the GateGuard.
This PR does not change the amount of shared mutable state.
So, all in all, it should be a net positive, albeit probably not
noticable
with our small non-NUMA instances and generally high CPU usage per
request.
# Reviewing
To understand the refactoring logistics, look at the changes to the unit
test types first.
Then read the improved module doc comment.
Then the remaining changes.
In the future, we could rename things to be even more generic.
For example, `Types::TenantMgr` could really be a `Types::Resolver`.
And `Types::Timeline` should, to avoid constant confusion in the doc
comment,
be called `Types::Cached` or `Types::Resolved`.
Because the `handle` module, after this PR, really doesn't care that
we're
using it for storing Arc's and GateGuards.
Then again, specicifity is sometimes more useful than being generic.
And writing the module doc comment in a totally generic way would
probably also be more confusing than helpful.
## Problem
CI does not pass for the compute release due to the absence of some
images
## Summary of changes
Now we use the images from the old non-compute releases for non-compute
images
## Problem
We intend for cplane to use the heatmap layer download API to warm up
timelines after unarchival. It's tricky for them to recurse in the
ancestors,
and the current implementation doesn't work well when unarchiving a
chain
of branches and warming them up.
## Summary of changes
* Add a `recurse` flag to the API. When the flag is set, the operation
recurses into the parent
timeline after the current one is done.
* Be resilient to warming up a chain of unarchived branches. Let's say
we unarchived `B` and `C` from
the `A -> B -> C` branch hierarchy. `B` got unarchived first. We
generated the unarchival heatmaps
and stash them in `A` and `B`. When `C` unarchived, it dropped it's
unarchival heatmap since `A` and `B`
already had one. If `C` needed layers from `A` and `B`, it was out of
luck. Now, when choosing whether
to keep an unarchival heatmap we look at its end LSN. If it's more
inclusive than what we currently have,
keep it.
## Problem
Storage controller will proxy GETs to pageserver-like tenant/timeline
paths through to the pageserver.
Usually GET passthroughs make sense to go to shard 0, e.g. if you want
to list timelines.
But sometimes you really want to know about a particular shard, e.g.
reading its cache state or similar.
## Summary of changes
- Accept shard IDs as well as tenant IDs in the passthrough route
- Refactor node lookup to take a shard ID and make the tenant ID case a
layer on top of that. This is one more lock take-drop during these
requests, but it's not particularly expensive and these requests
shouldn't be terribly frequent
This is not immediately used by anything, but will be there any time we
want to e.g. do a pass-through query to check the warmth of a tenant
cache on a particular shard or somesuch.

## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10841 made building compute
and neon images optional on releases that don't need them. The
`push-<component>-image-prod` jobs had transitive dependencies that were
skipped due to that, causing the images not to be pushed to production
registries.
## Summary of changes
Add `!failure() && !cancelled() &&` to the beginning of the conditions
for these jobs to ensure they run even if some of their transitive
dependencies are skipped.
## Problem
We see `Inmem storage overflow` in page server logs:
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1740157873114339
walked process is using inseam SMGR with storage size limited by 64
pages with warning watermark 32 (based ion the assumption that
XLR_MAX_BLOCK_ID is 32, so WAL record can not access more than 32
pages).
Actually it is not true. We can update up to 3 forks for each block
(including update of FSM and VM forks).
## Summary of changes
This PR increases inseam SMGR size for walled process to 100 pages and
print stack trace in case of overflow.

## Problem
We created extensions in a single database. The tests could interfere,
i.e., discover some service tables left by other extensions and produce
unexpected results.
## Summary of changes
The tests are now run in a separate timeline, so only one extension owns
the database, which prevents interference.
Before this PR, re-attach and validate would log the same warning
```
calling control plane generation validation API failed
```
on retry errors.
This can be confusing.
This PR makes the message generically valid for any upcall and adds
additional tracing spans to capture context.
Along the way, clean up some copy-pasta variable naming.

## Problem
So far cumulative statistics have not been persisted when Neon scales to
zero (suspends endpoint).
With PR https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6560 the cumulative
statistics should now survive endpoint restarts and correctly trigger
the auto- vacuum and auto analyze maintenance
So far we did not have a testcase that validates that improvement in our
dev cloud environment with a real project.
## Summary of changes
Introduce testcase `test_cumulative_statistics_persistence`in the
benchmarking workflow running daily to verify:
- Verifies that the cumulative statistics are correctly persisted across
restarts.
- Cumulative statistics are important to persist across restarts because
they are used
- when auto-vacuum an auto-analyze trigger conditions are met.
- The test performs the following steps:
- Seed a new project using pgbench
- insert tuples that by itself are not enough to trigger auto-vacuum
- suspend the endpoint
- resume the endpoint
- insert additional tuples that by itself are not enough to trigger
auto-vacuum but in combination with the previous tuples are
- verify that autovacuum is triggered by the combination of tuples
inserted before and after endpoint suspension

We lost this with the switch to axum for the HTTP server. Add it back.
In addition to just resurrecting the functionality we had before, pass
the tracing context of the /configure HTTP request to the start_postgres
operation that runs in the main thread. This way, the 'start_postgres'
and all its sub-spans like getting the basebackup become children of the
HTTP request span. This allows end-to-end tracing of a compute start,
all the way from the proxy to the SQL queries executed by compute_ctl as
part of compute startup.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10241 added configuration
switch endpoint, but it didn't delete timeline if node was excluded.
## Summary of changes
Add separate /exclude API endpoint which similarly accepts membership
configuration where sk is supposed by be excluded. Implementation
deletes the timeline locally.
Some more small related tweaks:
- make mconf switch API PUT instead of POST as it is idempotent;
- return 409 if switch was refused instead of 200 with requested &
current;
- remove unused was_active flag from delete response;
- remove meaningless _force suffix from delete functions names;
- reuse timeline.rs delete_dir function in timelines_global_map instead
of its own copy.

## Problem
Release CI is slow, because we're doing unnecessary work, for example

- Don't build neon images on compute releases and don't build compute

- Reuse images from previous releases for tests on branches where we

## Open questions
- We differentiate between `TAG` and `COMPUTE_TAG` in a few places, but
we don't differentiate between storage and proxy releases. Since they
use the same image, this will continue to work, but I'm not sure this is
what we want.

Delete layers that we have hardlinked so far when there is an error in
`remote_copy`. This prevents a retry of the ancestor detach from
stumbling over already present layer files: the hardlink would fail with
an error.
If there is a crash, we already clean up during the timeline attach: we
loop over all layer files and purge all layers that are not referenced
by the `index_part.json`.
Make sure to hold the timeline gate to prevent races with
detach&attach&read from the layer file.
These cleanups aren't completely enough however, as there is code after
`prepare` as well. To handle errors there, we add a special case for
`AlreadyExists` errors during the hardlink, where we check if the layer
is an orphan, and if yes, we delete it from local disk. That is ideally
not the case we hit, as it is less clear in that scenario where the
layer came from, but it provides good defense in depth.

## Problem
As part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8614 we need to

## Summary of changes
Add version 3 of the protocol carrying membership configurations.
Greeting message in both sides gets full conf, and other messages
generation number only. Use protocol bump to include other accumulated
changes:
- stop packing whole structs on the wire as is;
- make the tag u8 instead of u64;
- send all ints in network order;
- drop proposer_uuid, we can pass it in START_WAL_PUSH and it wasn't
much useful anyway.
Per message changes, apart from mconf:
- ProposerGreeting: tenant / timeline id is sent now as hex cstring.
Remove proto version, it is passed outside in START_WAL_PUSH. Remove
postgres timeline, it is unused. Reorder fields a bit.
- AcceptorGreeting: reorder fields
- VoteResponse: timeline_start_lsn is removed. It can be taken from
first member of term history, and later we won't need it at all when all
timelines will be explicitly created. Vote itself is u8 instead of u64.
- ProposerElected: timeline_start_lsn is removed for the same reasons.
- AppendRequest: epoch_start_lsn removed, it is known from term history
in ProposerElected.
Both compute and sk are able to talk v2 and v3 to make rollbacks (in
case we need them) easier; neon.safekeeper_proto_version GUC sets the
client version. v2 code can be dropped later.
So far empty conf is passed everywhere, future PRs will handle them.
To test, add param to some tests choosing proto version; we want to test
both 2 and 3 until we fully migrate.

We recently added slow GetPage request logging. However, this
unintentionally included the flush time when logging (which we already
have separate logging for). It also logs at WARN level, which is a bit
aggressive since we see this fire quite frequently.

## Summary of changes
* Only log the request execution time, not the flush time.
* Extract a `pagestream_dispatch_batched_message()` helper.
* Rename `warn_slow()` to `log_slow()` and downgrade to INFO.
We've seen some cases in production where a compute doesn't get a
response to a pageserver request for several minutes, or even more. We
haven't found the root cause for that yet, but whatever the reason is,
it seems overly optimistic to think that if the pageserver hasn't
responded for 2 minutes, we'd get a response if we just wait patiently a
little longer. More likely, the pageserver is dead or there's some kind
of a network glitch so that the TCP connection is dead, or at least
stuck for a long time. Either way, it's better to disconnect and
reconnect. I set the default timeout to 2 minutes, which should be
enough for any GetPage request under normal circumstances, even if the
pageserver has to download several layer files from remote storage.
Make the disconnect timeout configurable. Also make the "log interval",
after which we print a message to the log configurable, so that if you
change the disconnect timeout, you can set the log timeout
correspondingly. The default log interval is still 10 s. The new GUCs
are called "neon.pageserver_response_log_timeout" and
"neon.pageserver_response_disconnect_timeout".
Includes a basic test for the log and disconnect timeouts.
Implements issue #10857
## Problem
There's new rate-limits coming on docker hub. To reduce our reliance on
docker hub and the problems the limits are going to cause for us, we
want to prepare for this by also pushing our container images to ghcr.io
## Summary of changes
Push our images to ghcr.io as well and not just docker hub.
WaitEventSetWait() returns the number of "events" that happened, and
only that many events in the WaitEvent array are updated. When the
timeout is reached, it returns 0 and does not modify the WaitEvent array
at all. We were reading 'event.events' without checking the return
value, which would be uninitialized when the timeout was hit.
No test included, as this is harmless at the moment. But this caused the
test I'm including in PR #10882 to fail. That PR changes the logic to
loop back to retry the PQgetCopyData() call if WL_SOCKET_READABLE was
set. Currently, making an extra call to PQconsumeInput() is harmless,
but with that change in logic, it turns into a busy-wait.
For archived timelines, we would like to prevent all non-pageserver
issued getpage requests, as users are not supposed to send these.
Instead, they should unarchive a timeline before issuing any external
read traffic.
As this is non-trivial to do, at least prevent launches of new computes,
by errorring on basebackup requests for archived timelines. In #10688,
we started issuing a warning instead of an error, because an error would
mean a stuck project. Now after we can confirm the the warning is not
present in the logs for about a week, we can issue errors.

Part of #10918
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10788 introduced an API for
warming up attached locations
by downloading all layers in the heatmap. We intend to use it for
warming up timelines after unarchival too,
but it doesn't work. Any heatmap generated after the unarchival will not
include our timeline, so we've lost
all those layers.
## Summary of changes
Generate a cheeky heatmap on unarchival. It includes all the visible
layers.
Use that as the `PreviousHeatmap` which inputs into actual heatmap
generation.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10541
## Problem
There are a bunch of minor improvements that are too small and
insignificant as is, so collecting them in one PR.
## Summary of changes
- Add runner arch to artifact name to make it easier to distinguish
files on S3
([ref](https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C059ZC138NR/p1739365938371149))
- Use `github.event.pull_request.number` instead of parsing
`$GITHUB_EVENT_PATH` file
- Update Allure CLI and `allure-pytest`
## Problem
We failed to detect https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10845
before merging, because the tests we run with a matrix of component
versions didn't include the ones that did live migrations.
## Summary of changes
- Do a live migration during the storage controller smoke test, since
this is a pretty core piece of functionality
- Apply a compat version matrix to the graceful cluster restart test,
since this is the functionality that we most urgently need to work
across versions to make deploys work.
I expect the first CI run of this to fail, because
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10845 isn't merged yet.
ref: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23385
Adds a direction flag as well as private-link ID to the traffic
reporting pipeline. We do not yet actually count ingress, but we include
the flag anyway.
I have additionally moved vpce_id string parsing earlier, since we
expect it to be utf8 (ascii).
The synchronous 'postgres' crate is just a wrapper around the async
'tokio_postgres' crate. Some places were unnecessarily using the
re-exported NoTls and Error from the synchronous 'postgres' crate, even
though they were otherwise using the 'tokio_postgres' crate. Tidy up by
using the tokio_postgres types directly.
## Problem
After refactoring the configuration code to phases, it became a bit
fuzzy who filters out DBs that are not present in Postgres, are invalid,
or have `datallowconn = false`. The first 2 are important for the DB
dropping case, as we could be in operation retry, so DB could be already
absent in Postgres or invalid (interrupted `DROP DATABASE`).
Recent case:

Updates `vm_monitor` to edition 2024. We like to stay on the latest

## Problem
Prefetch is performed locally, so different backers can request the same
pages form PS.
Such duplicated request increase load of page server and network
traffic.
Making prefetch global seems to be very difficult and undesirable,
because different queries can access chunks on different speed. Storing
prefetch chunks in LFC will not completely eliminate duplicates, but can
minimise such requests.
The problem with storing prefetch result in LFC is that in this case
page is not protected by share buffer lock.
So we will have to perform extra synchronisation at LFC side.

The pageserver maps these durations to a seconds only format and we

## Summary of changes
Treat durations as durations inside the storage controller and not as

Nothing changes in the cross service API's themselves or the way things

1. Reason for why the reconciliation was spawned

## Problem
Now that we rely on the optimisation logic to handle fixing things up
after some tenants are in the wrong AZ (e.g. after node failure), it's
no longer appropriate to treat optimisations as an ultra-low-priority
task. We used to reflect that low priority with a very low limit on
concurrent execution, such that we would only migrate 2 things every 20
seconds.
## Summary of changes
- Increase MAX_OPTIMIZATIONS_EXEC_PER_PASS from 2 to 16
- Increase MAX_OPTIMIZATIONS_PLAN_PER_PASS from 8 to 64.
Since we recently gave user-initiated actions their own semaphore, this
should not risk starving out API requests.
Safekeepers only respond to requests with the per-token scope, or the
`safekeeperdata` JWT scope. Therefore, add infrastructure in the storage
controller for safekeeper JWTs. Also, rename the ambiguous `jwt_token`
to `pageserver_jwt_token`.

Plv8 consists of two parts:
1. the V8 engine, which is built from vendored sources, and
2. the PostgreSQL extension.
Split those into two separate steps in the Dockerfile. The first step
doesn't need any PostgreSQL sources or any other files from the neon
repository, just the build tools and the upstream plv8 sources. Use the
build-deps image as the base for that step, so that the layer can be
cached and doesn't need to be rebuilt every time. This is worthwhile
because the V8 build takes a very long time.
## Problem
This should be one last fix for
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10517.
## Summary of changes
If a keyspace is empty, we might produce a gc-compaction job which
covers no layer files. We should avoid generating such jobs so that the
gc-compaction image layer can cover the full key range.

## Problem
We don't have good observability for "stuck" getpage requests.
Resolves https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23808.
## Summary of changes
Log a periodic warning (every 30 seconds) if GetPage request execution
is slow to complete, to aid in debugging stuck GetPage requests.
This does not cover response flushing (we have separate logging for
that), nor reading the request from the socket and batching it (expected
to be insignificant and not straightforward to handle with the current
protocol).
This costs 95 nanoseconds on the happy path when awaiting a
`tokio::task::yield_now()`:
```
warn_slow/enabled=false time: [45.716 ns 46.116 ns 46.687 ns]

It clashed with pg_mooncake
This is the same as the hotfix #10908 , but for the main branch, to keep
the release and main branches in sync. In particular, we don't want to
accidentally revert this temporary fix, if we cut a new release from
main.
We keep the practice of keeping the compiler up to date, pointing to the
latest release. This is done by many other projects in the Rust
ecosystem as well.
[Announcement blog
post](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/02/20/Rust-1.85.0.html).
Prior update was in #10618.
## Problem
The interpreted SK <-> PS protocol does not guard against gaps (neither
does the Vanilla one, but that's beside the point).
## Summary of changes
Extend the protocol to include the start LSN of the PG WAL section from
which the records were interpreted.
Validation is enabled via a config flag on the pageserver and works as
follows:
**Case 1**: `raw_wal_start_lsn` is smaller than the requested LSN
There can't be gaps here, but we check that the shard received records
which it hasn't seen before.
**Case 2**: `raw_wal_start_lsn` is equal to the requested LSN
This is the happy case. No gap and nothing to check
**Case 3**: `raw_wal_start_lsn` is greater than the requested LSN
This is a gap.
To make Case 3 work I had to bend the protocol a bit.
We read record chunks of WAL which aren't record aligned and feed them
to the decoder.
The picture below shows a shard which subscribes at a position somewhere
within Record 2.
We already have a wal reader which is below that position so we wait to
catch up.
We read some wal in Read 1 (all of Record 1 and some of Record 2). The
new shard doesn't
need Record 1 (it has already processed it according to the starting
position), but we read
past it's starting position. When we do Read 2, we decode Record 2 and
ship it off to the shard,
but the starting position of Read 2 is greater than the starting
position the shard requested.
This looks like a gap.
To make it work, we extend the protocol to send an empty
`InterpretedWalRecords` to shards
if the WAL the records originated from ends the requested start
position. On the pageserver,
that just updates the tracking LSNs in memory (no-op really). This gives
us a workaround for
the fake gap.
As a drive by, make `InterpretedWalRecords::next_record_lsn` mandatory
in the application level definition.
It's always included.

Storage controller uses unsecure http for pageserver API.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23734

## Summary of changes
- Add an optional `listen_https_port` field to storage controller's Node

- 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

Fix an issue caused by PR
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10891: we introduced the
concept of timeouts for heartbeats, where we would hang up on the other
side of the oneshot channel if a timeout happened (future gets
cancelled, receiver is dropped).
This hang up would make the heartbeat task panic when it did obtain the
response, as we unwrap the result of the result sending operation. The
panic would lead to the heartbeat task panicing itself, which is then
according to logs the last sign of life we of that process invocation.
I'm not sure what brings down the process, in theory tokio [should
continue](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/runtime/enum.UnhandledPanic.html#variant.Ignore),
but idk.

## 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

## Problem
Pinning build tools still replicated the ACR/ECR/Docker Hub login and
pushing, even though we have a reusable workflow for this. Was mentioned
as a TODO in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10613.
## Summary of changes
Reuse `_push-to-container-registry.yml` for pinning the build-tools
images.
`pprof::symbolize()` used a regex to strip the Rust monomorphization
suffix from generic methods. However, the `backtrace` crate can do this
itself if formatted with the `:#` flag.
Also tighten up the code a bit.
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.

## Summary of changes

## Problem
Autosplits are crucial for bulk ingest performance. However, autosplits
were only attempted when there was no other pending work. This could
cause e.g. mass AZ affinity violations following Pageserver restarts to
starve out autosplits for hours.
Resolves#10762.
## Summary of changes
Always attempt autosplits in the background reconciliation loop,
regardless of other pending work.
## Problem
we measure ingest performance for a few variants (stripe-sizes,
pre-sharded, shard-splitted).
However some phenomena (e.g. related to L0 compaction) in PS can be
better observed and optimized with un-sharded tenants.

(`{"scheduling": "Essential"}`)
- add a variant to ingest_benchmark that uses that policy for the new

3. `pgtap` interfered with the other tests, e.g. tables, created by
other extensions caused the tests to fail.

## 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.

This is logged every 10 seconds for every timeline.
## Summary of changes

"success", notify storage oncall on slack.
## 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.

`SafekeeperClient`. we want to do `pull_timeline` on any creations that
we couldn't do initially.
* Add a `SafekeeperGeneration` type instead of relying on a type alias.
we want to maintain a safekeeper specific generation number now in the
storcon database. A separate type is important to make it impossible to
mix it up with the tenant's pageserver specific generation number. We
absolutely want to avoid that for correctness reasons. If someone mixes
up a safekeeper and pageserver id (both use the `NodeId` type), that's
bad but there is no wrong generations flying around.

This replaces the use of the awscli utility. awscli binary is massive,
it added about 200 MB to the docker image size, while the s3 client was
already a dependency so using that is essentially free, as far as binary
size is concerned.
I implemented a simple upload function that tries to keep 10 uploads
going in parallel. I believe that's the default behavior of the "aws s3

## Problem
The current `pageserver_layers_per_read` histogram buckets don't
represent the current reality very well. For the percentiles we care
about (e.g. p50 and p99), we often see fairly high read amp, especially
during ingestion, and anything below 4 can be considered very good.
## Summary of changes
Change the per-timeline read amp histogram buckets to `[4.0, 8.0, 16.0,
32.0, 64.0, 128.0, 256.0]`.
## Problem

Instead of hardcoding the request timeout, let's make it configurable as

I forgot that we do not only use TimelineInfo for encoding, but also
decoding when the storage controller calls into a pageserver, so this
broke some calls from controller to pageserver while in a mixed-version
state.
## Summary of changes
- Make new fields have default behavior so that they are optional
Originally I wanted to switch back to the `neon` branch before merging
#10825, but I forgot to do it. Do it in a separate PR now.
No actual change of the source code, only changes the branch name (so
that maybe in a few weeks we can delete the temporary branch
`arpad/neon-rebase`).
## Problem
`SmgrOpFlushInProgress::measure()` takes a `socket_fd` argument which is
only used on Linux. This causes linter warnings on macOS.
Touches #10823.
## Summary of changes
Add a noop use of `socket_fd` on non-Linux branch.
## Problem
See https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10839
rho(x,b) functions returns values in range [1,b+1] and addSHLL tries to
store it in array of size b+1.
## Summary of changes

We want to host pg_duckdb (starting with v0.3.1) on Neon.
This PR replaces https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10350 which
was for older pg_duckdb v0.2.0
Use cases
- faster OLAP queries
- access to datelake files (e.g. parquet) on S3 buckets from Neon
PostgreSQL
Because neon does not provide superuser role to neon customers we need
to grant some additional permissions to neon_superuser:
Note: some grants that we require are already granted to `PUBLIC` in new
release of pg_duckdb
[here](3789e4c509/sql/pg_duckdb--0.2.0--0.3.0.sql (L1054))
```sql
GRANT ALL ON FUNCTION duckdb.install_extension(TEXT) TO neon_superuser;
GRANT ALL ON TABLE duckdb.extensions TO neon_superuser;
GRANT ALL ON SEQUENCE duckdb.extensions_table_seq TO neon_superuser;
```
## Problem
The timestamp prefix of pytest log lines contains milliseconds without
leading zeros, so values of milliseconds less than 100 printed
incorrectly.
For example:
```
2025-02-15 12:02:51.997 INFO [_internal.py:97] 127.0.0.1 - - ...
2025-02-15 12:02:52.4 INFO [_internal.py:97] 127.0.0.1 - - ...
2025-02-15 12:02:52.9 INFO [_internal.py:97] 127.0.0.1 - - ...
2025-02-15 12:02:52.23 INFO [_internal.py:97] 127.0.0.1 - - ...
```
## Summary of changes
Fix log_format for pytest so that milliseconds are printed with leading
zeros.
In commit 9537829ccd I made shared_buffers be derived from the system's
available RAM. However, I failed to remove the old hard-coded
shared_buffers=10GB settings, shared_buffers was set twice. Oopsie.
## Problem
Sometimes, a regression test run gets stuck (taking more than 60
minutes) and is killed by GitHub's `timeout-minutes` without leaving any
traces in the test results database.
I find no correlation between this and either the build type, the
architecture, or the Postgres version.
See: https://neonprod.grafana.net/goto/nM7ih7cHR?orgId=1
## Summary of changes
- Bump `pytest-timeout` to the version that supports `--session-timeout`
- Set `--session-timeout` to (timeout-minutes - 10 minutes) * 60 seconds
in Attempt to stop tests gracefully to generate test reports until they
are forcibly stopped by the stricter `timeout-minutes` limit.
## Problem
Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9516
## 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.

I noticed the opportunity to simplify here while working on
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9353 .
The only difference is the zero-fill behavior: if one reads past rel
size,
`get_rel_page_at_lsn` returns a zeroed page whereas `Timeline::get`
returns an error.
However, the `endblk` is at most rel size large, because `nblocks` is eq
`get_rel_size`, see a few lines above this change.
We're using the same LSN (`self.lsn`) for everything, so there is no
chance of non-determinism.

# Summary
In
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10813
we added slow flush logging but it didn't log the TCP send & recv queue
length.
This PR adds that data to the log message.
I believe the implementation to be safe & correct right now, but it's
brittle and thus this PR should be reverted or improved upon once the
investigation is over.

# How It Works
The trouble is two-fold:
1. getting to the raw socket file descriptor through the many Rust types
that wrap it and
2. integrating with the `measure()` function
Rust wraps it in types to model file descriptor lifetimes and ownership,
and usually one can get access using `as_raw_fd()`.
However, we `split()` the stream and the resulting
[`tokio::io::WriteHalf`](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/io/struct.WriteHalf.html)
.
Check the PR commit history for my attempts to do it.
My solution is to get the socket fd before we wrap it in our protocol
types, and to store that fd in the new `PostgresBackend::socket_fd`
field.
I believe it's safe because the lifetime of `PostgresBackend::socket_fd`
value == the lifetime of the `TcpStream` that wrap and store in
`PostgresBackend::framed`.
Specifically, the only place that close()s the socket is the `impl Drop
for TcpStream`.
I think the protocol stack calls `TcpStream::shutdown()`, but, that
doesn't `close()` the file descriptor underneath.
Regarding integration with the `measure()` function, the trouble is that
`flush_fut` is currently a generic `Future` type. So, we just pass in
the `socket_fd` as a separate argument.
A clean implementation would convert the `pgb_writer.flush()` to a named
future that provides an accessor for the socket fd while not being
polled.
I tried (see PR history), but failed to break through the `WriteHalf`.
# Testing
Tested locally by running
```
./target/debug/pagebench get-page-latest-lsn --num-clients=1000 --queue-depth=1000
```
in one terminal, waiting a bit, then
```
pkill -STOP pagebench
```
then wait for slow logs to show up in `pageserver.log`.
Pick one of the slow log message's port pairs, e.g., `127.0.0.1:39500`,
and then checking sockstat output
```
ss -ntp | grep '127.0.0.1:39500'
```
to ensure that send & recv queue size match those in the log message.
The logic might seem a bit intricate / over-optimized, but I recently
spent time benchmarking this code path in the context of a nightly
pagebench regression
(https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21759)
and I want to avoid regressing it any further.
Ideally would also log the socket send & recv queue length like we do on
the compute side in
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10673
But that is proving difficult due to the Rust abstractions that wrap the
socket fd.
Work in progress on that is happening in
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10823
Regarding production impact, I am worried at a theoretical level that
the additional logging may cause a downward spiral in the case where a
pageserver is slow to flush because there is not enough CPU. The logging
would consume more CPU and thereby slow down flushes even more. However,
I don't think this matters practically speaking.

## Problem
Some situations may produce a large number of pending reconciles. If we
experience an issue where reconciles are processed more slowly than
expected, that can prevent us responding promptly to user requests like
tenant/timeline CRUD.
This is a cleaner implementation of the hotfix in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10815
## Summary of changes
- Introduce a second semaphore for high priority tasks, with
configurable units (default 256). The intent is that in practical
situations these user-facing requests should never have to wait.
- Use the high priority semaphore for: tenant/timeline CRUD, and shard
splitting operations. Use normal priority for everything else.
## Problem
We had code for stripping IDs out of proxied paths to reduce cardinality
of metrics, but it was only stripping out tenant IDs, and leaving in
timeline IDs and query parameters (e.g. LSN in lsn->timestamp lookups).
## Summary of changes
- Use a more general regex approach.
There is still some risk that a future pageserver API might include a
parameter in `/the/path/`, but we control that API and it is not often
extended. We will also alert on metrics cardinality in staging so that
if we made that mistake we would notice.

PR #10305 makes sure that there is no *actual* race, i.e. we will never
attempt to offload a timeline that has just been unarchived, or similar.
However, if a timeline has been unarchived and has children that are
unarchived too, we will get an error log line. Such races can occur as
in compaction we check if the timeline can be offloaded way before we
attempt to offload it: the result might change in the meantime.
This patch checks if the delete guard can't be obtained because the
timeline has unarchived children, and if yes, it does another check for
whether the timeline has become unarchived or not. If it is unarchived,
it just prints an info log msg and integrates itself into the error
suppression logic of the compaction calling into it.
If you squint at it really closely, there is still a possible race in
which we print an error log, but this one is unlikely because the
timeline and its children need to be archived right after the check for
whether the timeline has any unarchived children, and right before the
check whether the timeline is archived. Archival involves a network
operation while nothing between these two checks does that, so it's very
unlikely to happen in real life.

## Problem
`benchmarks` is a long-running and non-blocking job. If, on Staging, a
deploy-blocking job fails, restarting it requires cancelling any running
`benchmarks` jobs, which is a waste of CI resources and requires a
couple of extra clicks for a human to do.

## Summary of changes
- Run `benchmarks` after `deploy` job
- Handle `benchmarks` run in PRs with `run-benchmarks` label but without
`deploy` job.
There was a typo in the name of the utilization endpoint URL, fix it.
Also, ensure that the heartbeat mechanism actually works.

Before this PR, an IO error returned from the kernel, e.g., due to a bad
disk, would get bubbled up, all the way to a user-visible query failing.
This is against the IO error handling policy where we have established
and is hence being rectified in this PR.
[[(internal Policy document
link)]](bef44149f7/src/storage/handling_io_and_logical_errors.md (L33-L35))
The practice on the write path seems to be that we call
`maybe_fatal_err()` or `fatal_err()` fairly high up the stack.
That is, regardless of whether std::fs, tokio::fs, or VirtualFile is
used to perform the IO.
For the read path, I choose a centralized approach in this PR by
checking for errors as close to the kernel interface as possible.
I believe this is better for long-term consistency.
To mitigate the problem of missing context if we abort so far down in
the stack, the `on_fatal_io_error` now captures and logs a backtrace.
I grepped the pageserver code base for `fs::read` to convince myself
that all non-VirtualFile reads already handle IO errors according to
policy.

## 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.

There is now a compute_ctl_config field in the response that currently
only contains a JSON Web Key set. compute_ctl currently doesn't do
anything with the keys, but will in the future.
The reasoning for the new field is due to the nature of empty computes.
When an empty compute is created, it does not have a tenant. A compute
spec is the primary means of communicating the details of an attached
tenant. In the empty compute state, there is no spec. Instead we wait
for the control plane to pass us one via /configure. If we were to
include the jwks field in the compute spec, we would have a partial
compute spec, which doesn't logically make sense.
Instead, we can have two means of passing settings to the compute:
- spec: tenant specific config details
- compute_ctl_config: compute specific settings
For instance, the JSON Web Key set passed to the compute is independent
of any tenant. It is a setting of the compute whether it is attached or
not.

pg_search is 46ish MB. All other remote extensions are around hundeds of
KB. 3 seconds is not long enough to download the tarball if the S3
gateway cache doesn't already contain a copy. According to our setup,
the cache is limited to 10 GB in size and anything that has not been
accessed for an hour is purged.
This is really bad for scaling to 0, even more so if you're the only
project actively using the extension in a production Kubernetes cluster.

## 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

In #10752 I used an overly-strict regex that only ignored error on a

## 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.

In #9011, we want to schedule timelines to safekeepers. In order to do
such scheduling, we need information about how utilized a safekeeper is

Therefore, send constant heartbeats to the safekeepers and try to figure
out if they are online or not.
Includes some code from #10440.
## 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
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10613 changed how images are
pushed, and therefore also how we have to wait for images to be pushed
in `trigger-e2e-tests`. The `trigger-e2e-tests` workflow is triggered in
three different ways:
- When a pull request is pushed to that is already ready to review, here
we call the workflow from `build_and_test`
- When a pull request is marked ready for review, then the workflow is
triggered directly
- When a push to `main` or `release(-.*)?` triggers `build_and_test` and
that indirectly calls `trigger-e2e-tests`.
The second of these paths had a bug, which was not tested in the PR,
because this path being different wasn't clear to me.
## Summary of changes
Fix the jq statement that caused the bug.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10613 changed how images are
pushed, and there was a small mismatch between the github workflow and
the script generating what to push where. This resulted in the workflow
trying to push images to prod registries from the main branch, even
though we don't do that and therefore didn't generate a mapping for
those registries in the script that decides what to push where.
This misconception happened because promote-images-dev pushed to dev
registries, and promote-images-prod pushed to prod registries, but
promote-images-prod also updated the latest tag in the dev registries if
and only if we are on the main branch. This last bit is why the
push-<component>-image-prod jobs were trying to run on the main branch.
## Summary of changes
Don't try pushing to prod registries from the main branch.
## Problem
Retagging container images and pushing container images taken from one
registry to another is very tangled up with artifact building and not
separated by component. This makes not building compute for storage
releases and vice versa pretty tricky. To enable that, I want to clean
up retagging and pushing of container images and then continue on making
the pipelines for releases leaner by not building unnecessary things.
## Summary of changes
- Add a reusable workflow that can push to ACR, ECR and Docker Hub,
while being very flexible in terms of source and target images. This
allows for retagging and pushing images between container registries.
- Stop pushing images to registries aside of docker hub in the jobs that
build the images
- Split image pushing into 4 different jobs (not mentioning special
cases):
- neon-dev
- neon-prod
- compute-dev
- compute-prod
## TODO
- Consider also using this for `pin-build-tools-image`, as it's
basically another instance of the same thing.
## Known limitations
- The ECR part of this workflow supports authenticating to multiple AWS
accounts and therefore multiple ECR endpoints, but the ACR part only
supports one Azure Account. If someone with more knowledge on Azure can
tell me whether an equivalent to
https://github.com/aws-actions/amazon-ecr-login?tab=readme-ov-file#login-to-ecr-on-multiple-aws-accounts
is easily possible, that'd be great.
- The `image_map` input is a bit complex. It expects something along the
lines of
```
{
"docker.io/neondatabase/compute-node-v14:13196061314": [
"docker.io/neondatabase/compute-node-v14:13196061314",
"369495373322.dkr.ecr.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/compute-node-v14:13196061314",

"neoneastus2.azurecr.io/neondatabase/compute-node-v15:13196061314"
]
}
```
to map from source to target image. We have a small python step to
generate this map for the 4 main image pushing jobs. The concrete
example is taken from
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/13196061314/job/36838584098?pr=10613#step:3:6
and shortened to two images.
## 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

## Problem
PRs created by external contributors, in some cases might list failed
jobs
- `Trigger E2E Tests / cancel-previous-e2e-tests`
- `Trigger E2E Tests / tag`
They don't block the merge, and tests in fact pass (their counterparts
in internal PR), but because jobs are triggered from an external PR (and
not from the corresponding internal one) they still present as red
marks.

## 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
With current approach for the base images in `Dockerfiles`, it's hard to
track when image is updated, and as they are base, than update will
invalidate all the layers, as base image changed.
That also becomes more complicated, as we have a number of runners, and
they may have different images with the tag `bookworm-slim`, so that
will lead to invalidate caches, when image build on one runner will be
used on another runners.
To fix that problem, we could pin our base images to the specific sha,
and that not only align images across runners, and also will allow us to
have reproducible build and don't depend on any spontaneous changes in
upstream.
Fix: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24084
## Summary of changes
Beside of the main goal, that PR also included some small changes around
Dockerfiles:
1. Main change: use `SHA` for `bookworm-slim` and `bullseye-slim` debian
images
2. For the layers requiring `curl` we could add `curl` and `unzip` to
the `build-deps` image, and use it as a base image for all the steps,
removing extra dependency on `alpine/curl`
3. added `retry-on-host-error=on` for the `wgetrc` as it happened to me:
fail to resolve hostname
## 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.

The old values assumed that you have at least about 18 GB of RAM
available (shared_buffers=10GB and maintenance_work_mem=8GB). That's a
lot when testing locally. Make it configurable, and make the default
assumption much smaller: 256 MB.
This is nice for local testing, but it's also in preparation for
starting to use VMs to run these jobs. When launched in a VM, the
control plane can set these env variables according to the max size of
the VM.
Also change the formula for how RAM is distributed: use 10% of RAM for
shared_buffers, and 70% for maintenance_work_mem. That leaves a good
amount for misc. other stuff and the OS. A very large shared_buffers
setting won't typically help with bulk loading. It won't help with the
network and I/O of processing all the tables, unless maybe if the whole
database fits in shared buffers, but even then it's not much faster than
using local disk. Bulk loading is all sequential I/O. It also won't help
much with index creation, which is also sequential I/O. A large
maintenance_work_mem can be quite useful, however, so that's where we
put most of the RAM.
Resolves: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/5734
When we query pageserver and it's unavailable after some retries,
postgres sigabrt's. This is intended behavior so I've added tests
checking it
## Problem
When image compaction yields for L0 compaction, it may not immediately
schedule L0 compaction, because it just goes on to compact the next
pending timeline.
Touches #10694.
Requires #10744.
## Summary of changes
Extend `CompactionOutcome` with `YieldForL0` and `Skipped` variants, and
immediately schedule an L0 compaction pass in the `YieldForL0` case.
## 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.
Avoids compiling the crate and its dependencies into binaries that don't
need them. Shrinks the compute_ctl binary from about 31MB to 28MB in the
release-line-debug-size-lto profile.
Run "apt install" first, and only then COPY the files from the
intermediary build layers to the final image. This way, if you modify
any of the sources that trigger e.g. rebuilding compute_ctl, the "apt
install" step can still be cached.
## 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)
# Problem
Say we have a batch of 10 responses to send out.
Then, even with
- #10728
we've still only called observe_execution_end_flush_start for the first
3 responses.
The remaining 7 response timers are still ticking.
When compute now closes the connection, the waiting flush fails with an
error and we `drop()` the remaining 7 responses' smgr op timers. The
`impl Drop for SmgrOpTimer` will observe an execution time that includes
the flush time.
In practice, this is supsected to produce the `+Inf` observations in the
smgr op latency histogram we've seen since the introduction of
pipelining, even after shipping #10728.

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
These tests can encounter a bug in the pageserver read path (#9185)
which occurs under the very specific circumstances that the tests
create, but is very unlikely to happen in the field.
We will fix the bug, but in the meantime let's un-flake the tests.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10720
## Summary of changes
- Permit "could not find data for key" errors in tests affected by #9185
I don't see the point of static linking, postgres itself and many of the
extensions are already built dynamically.
One reason for the change is that I'm working on bigger changes to start
using systemd in the compute, and as part of that I wanted to add the
--with-systemd configure option to pgbouncer, and there doesn't seem to
be a static version of libsystemd (at least not on Debian).
## Problem
/database_schema endpoint returns incomplete output from `pg_dump`
## Summary of changes
The Tokio process was not used properly. The returned stream does not
include `process::Child`, and the process is scheduled to be killed
immediately after the `get_database_schema` call when `cmd` goes out of
scope.
The solution in this PR is to return a special Stream implementation
that retains `process::Child`.
compute_ctl is mostly written in synchronous fashion, intended to run in
a single thread. However various parts had become async, and they
launched their own tokio runtimes to run the async code. For example, VM
monitor ran in its own multi-threaded runtime, and apply_spec_sql()
launched another multi-threaded runtime to run the per-database SQL
commands in parallel. In addition to that, a few places used a
current-thread runtime to run async code in the main thread, or launched
a current-thread runtime in a *different* thread to run background
tasks.
Unify the runtimes so that there is only one tokio runtime. It's created
very early at process startup, and the main thread "enters" the runtime,
so that it's always available for tokio::spawn() and runtime.block_on()
calls. All code that needs to run async code uses the same runtime.
The main thread still mostly runs in a synchronous fashion. When it
needs to run async code, it uses rt.block_on().
Spawn fewer additional threads, prefer to spawn tokio tasks instead.
Convert some code that ran synchronously in background threads into
async. I didn't go all the way, though, some background threads are
still spawned.
## Problem
close https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10213
`range_search` only returns the top-most layers that may satisfy the
search, so it doesn't include all layers that might be accessed (the
user needs to recursively call this function). We need to retrieve the
full layer map and find overlaps in order to have a correct heuristics
of the job split.
## Summary of changes
Retrieve all layers and find overlaps instead of doing `range_search`.
The patch also reduces the time holding the layer map read guard.

## Problem
The compaction loop currently runs periodically, which can cause it to
wait for up to 20 seconds before starting L0 compaction by default.
Also, when we later separate the semaphores for L0 compaction and image
compaction, we want to give up waiting for the image compaction
semaphore if L0 compaction is needed on any timeline.
Touches #10694.
## Summary of changes
Notify the compaction loop when an L0 flush (on any timeline) exceeds
`compaction_threshold`.
Also do some opportunistic cleanups in the area.
Building the compute rust binaries from scratch is pretty slow, it takes
between 4-15 minutes on my laptop, depending on which compiler flags and
other tricks I use. A cache mount allows caching the dependencies and
incremental builds, which speeds up rebuilding significantly when you
only makes a small change in a source file.
The awscli was downloaded at the last stages of the overall compute
image build, which meant that if you modified any part of the build, it
would trigger a re-download of the awscli. That's a bit annoying when
developing locally and rebuilding the compute image repeatedly. Move it
to a separate layer, to cache separately and to avoid the spurious
rebuilds.
The compute_id will be used when verifying claims sent by the control
plane.

walredo shutdown is done in the compaction task. Let's move it to tenant
housekeeping.
# Summary of changes
* Rename "ingest housekeeping" to "tenant housekeeping".
* Move walredo shutdown into tenant housekeeping.
* Add a constant `WALREDO_IDLE_TIMEOUT` set to 3 minutes (previously 10x
compaction threshold).
This patch does a bunch of superficial cleanups of `tenant::tasks` to
avoid noise in subsequent PRs. There are no functional changes.
PS: enable "hide whitespace" when reviewing, due to the unindentation of
large async blocks.
# Problem
Before this PR, the `shard_id` field was missing when page_service logs
a reconstruct error.
This was caused by batching-related refactorings.
Example from staging:
```

```
# Changes
Delay creation of the handler-specific span until after shard routing
This also avoids the need for the record() call in the pagestream hot
path.
# Testing

## 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
I plan to use this when launching a fast_import job in a VM. There's
currently no good way for an executable running in a NeonVM to exit
gracefully and have the VM shut down. The inittab we use always respawns
the payload command. The idea is that the control plane can use
"fast_import ... && poweroff" as the command, so that when fast_import
completes successfully, the VM is terminated, and the k8s Pod and
VirtualMachine object are marked as completed successfully.
I'm working on bigger changes to how we launch VMs, and will try to come
up with a nicer system for that, but in the meanwhile, this quick hack
allows us to proceed with using VMs for one-off jobs like fast_import.
## Problem

`test_timeline_archival_chaos`

Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10389
## Summary of changes
- Downgrade the 'ignoring attempt to restart' to info -- there's nothing
in the design that forbids this happening, i.e. someone calling
maybe_spawn_flush_loop concurrently with shutdown()
- Prevent timeline deletion tasks outliving tenants by carrying a
gateguard. This logically makes sense because the deletion process does
call into Tenant to update manifests.
## Problem
L0 compaction can get starved by other background tasks. It needs to be
responsive to avoid read amp blowing up during heavy write workloads.
Touches #10694.
## Summary of changes
Add a separate semaphore for compaction, configurable via
`use_compaction_semaphore` (disabled by default). This is primarily for
testing in staging; it needs further work (in particular to split
image/L0 compaction jobs) before it can be enabled.
## 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
- Remove the async code, replace calls with the sync variant, and assert
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`
We need to disable the detection of memory leaks when running
``neon_local init` for build with sanitizers to avoid an error thrown by
AddressSanitizer.

string_utils.c splitLines() function
```C

## Summary of changes
modified the patch to also address this problem
## Problem
Currently the following line below uses array subscript notation which
is confusing since `reqlsns` is not an array but just a pointer to a
struct.
```
XLogWaitForReplayOf(reqlsns[0].request_lsn);
```
## Summary of changes
Switch from array subscript notation to arrow operator to improve
readability of code.
Close#10620.
## Problem
We don't have visibility into how long an individual background job is
waiting for a semaphore permit.
## Summary of changes
* Make `pageserver_background_loop_semaphore_wait_seconds` a histogram
rather than a sum.
* Add a paced warning when a task takes more than 10 minutes to get a
permit (for now).
* Drive-by cleanup of some `EnumMap` usage.
## 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

- Remove unneeded `actions/checkout`
## Problem
During ingest_benchmark which uses `pgcopydb`
([see](https://github.com/dimitri/pgcopydb))we sometimes had outages.
- when PostgreSQL COPY step failed we got a segfault (reported
[here](https://github.com/dimitri/pgcopydb/issues/899))
- the root cause was Neon idle_in_transaction_session_timeout is set to
5 minutes which is suboptimal for long-running tasks like project import
(reported [here](https://github.com/dimitri/pgcopydb/issues/900))
## Summary of changes
Patch pgcopydb to avoid segfault.
override idle_in_transaction_session_timeout and set it to "unlimited"
## Problem
We need a metrics to know what's going on in pageserver's background
jobs.
## Summary of changes
* Waiting tasks: task still waiting for the semaphore.
* Running tasks: tasks doing their actual jobs.

Often the output of the timestamp->lsn API is used as input for branch
creation, and branch creation takes the planned lsn into account, i.e.
rejects lsn's as branch lsns that are before the planned lsn.
This patch doesn't fix all race conditions, it's still racy. But at
least it is a step into the right direction.
For #10639
## Problem
Following #10641, let's add a few critical errors.
Resolves#10094.
## Summary of changes
Adds the following critical errors:
* WAL sender read/decode failure.
* WAL record ingestion failure.
* WAL redo failure.
* Missing key during compaction.
We don't add an error for missing keys during GetPage requests, since
we've seen a handful of these in production recently, and the cause is
still unclear (most likely a benign race).
Right now, branch creation doesn't care if a lsn lease exists or not, it
just fails if the passed lsn is older than either the last or the
planned gc cutoff.
However, if an lsn lease exists for a given lsn, we can actually create
a branch at that point: nothing has been gc'd away.
This prevents race conditions that #10678 still leaves around.

We don't want any external requests for an archived timeline. This
includes basebackup requests, i.e. when a compute is being started up.
Therefore, we'd like to forbid such basebackup requests: any attempt to
get a basebackup on an archived timeline (or any getpage request really)
is a cplane bug. Make this a warning for now so that, if there is
potentially a bug, we can detect cases in the wild before they cause
stuck operations, but the intention is to return an error eventually.

On my AX102 Hetzner box, removing this line removes about 20us from the
`latency_mean` result in
`test_pageserver_characterize_latencies_with_1_client_and_throughput_with_many_clients_one_tenant`.
If the same 20us can be removed in the nightly benchmark run, this will
be a ~10% improvement because there, mean latencies are about ~220us.
This span was added during batching refactors, we didn't have it before,
and I don't think it's terribly useful.

## Problem
The local filesystem backend for remote storage doesn't set a
concurrency limit. While it can't/won't enforce a concurrency limit
itself, this also bounds the upload queue concurrency. Some tests create
thousands of uploads, which slows down the quadratic scheduling of the
upload queue, and there is no point spawning that many Tokio tasks.
Resolves#10409.
## Summary of changes
Set a concurrency limit of 100 for the LocalFS backend.

## Problem
The code is intended to reschedule compaction immediately if there are
pending tasks. We set the duration to 0 before if there are pending

The full build of all extensions takes a long time. When working locally
on parts that don't need extensions, you can iterate more quickly by
skipping the unnecessary extensions.
This adds a build argument to the dockerfile to specify extensions to
build. There are three options:
- EXTENSIONS=all (default)
- EXTENSIONS=minimal: Build only a few extensions that are listed in
shared_preload_libraries in the default neon config.
- EXTENSIONS=none: Build no extensions (except for the mandatory 'neon'
extension).

## Problem
When a shard has two secondary locations, but one of them is on a node
with MaySchedule::No, the optimiser would get stuck, because it couldn't
decide which secondary to remove.
This is generally okay if a node is offline, but if a node is in Pause
mode for a long period of time, it's a problem.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10646
## Summary of changes
- Instead of insisting on finding a node in the wrong AZ to remove, find
an available node in the _right_ AZ, and remove all the others. This
ensures that if there is one live suitable node, then other
offline/paused nodes cannot hold things up.
Given a remote extensions manifest of the following:
```json
{
"public_extensions": [],
"custom_extensions": null,
"library_index": {
"pg_search": "pg_search"
},
"extension_data": {
"pg_search": {
"control_data": {
"pg_search.control": "comment = 'pg_search: Full text search for PostgreSQL using BM25'\ndefault_version = '0.14.1'\nmodule_pathname = '$libdir/pg_search'\nrelocatable = false\nsuperuser = true\nschema = paradedb\ntrusted = true\n"
},
"archive_path": "13117844657/v14/extensions/pg_search.tar.zst"
}
}
}
```
We were allowing a compute to install a remote extension that wasn't
listed in either public_extensions or custom_extensions.

## Problem
We don't have visibility into the ratio of image vs. delta pages
ingested in Pageservers. This might be useful to determine whether we
should compress WAL records before storing them, which in turn might
make compaction more efficient.
## Summary of changes
Add `pageserver_wal_ingest_values_committed` metric with dimensions
`class=metadata|data` and `kind=image|delta`.
## Problem
We get WARN log noise on tenant creations. Cplane creates tenants via
/location_config. That returns the attached locations in the response
and spawns a reconciliation which will also attempt to notify cplane. If
the notification is attempted before cplane persists the shards to its
database, storcon gets back a 404. The situation is harmless, but
annoying.
## Summary of Changes
* Add a tenant creation hint to the reconciler config
* If the hint is true and we get back a 404 on the notification from
cplane, ignore the error, but still queue the reconcile up for a retry.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/20732
## Problem
Ref: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23461
and follow-up after: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10553
we used `echo` to set-up `.wgetrc` and `.curlrc`, and there we used `\n`
to make these multiline configs with one echo command.
The problem is that Debian `/bin/sh`'s built-in echo command behaves
differently from the `/bin/echo` executable and from the `echo` built-in
in `bash`. Namely, it does not support the`-e` option, and while it does
treat `\n` as a newline, passing `-e` here will add that `-e` to the
output.
At the same time, when we use different base images, for example
`alpine/curl`, their `/bin/sh` supports and requires `-e` for treating
escape sequences like `\n`.
But having different `echo` and remembering difference in their
behaviour isn't best experience for the developer and makes bad
experience maintaining Dockerfiles.
Work-arounds:
- Explicitly use `/bin/bash` (like in this PR)
- Use `/bin/echo` instead of the shell's built-in echo function
- Use printf "foo\n" instead of echo -e "foo\n"
## Summary of changes
1. To fix that, we process with the option setting `/bin/bash` as a
SHELL for the debian-baysed layers
2. With no changes for `alpine/curl` based layers.
3. And one more change here: in `extensions` layer split to the 2 steps:
installing dependencies from `CPAN` and installing `lcov` from github,
so upgrading `lcov` could reuse previous layer with installed cpan
modules.
## 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
In #9895, we fixed some issues where `ClearVmBits` were broadcast to all
shards, even those not owning the VM relation. As part of that, we found
some ancient code from #1417, which discarded spurious incorrect
`ClearVmBits` records for pages outside of the VM relation. We added
observability in #9911 to see how often this actually happens in the
wild.
After two months, we have not seen this happen once in production or
staging. However, out of caution, we don't want a hard error and break
WAL ingestion.
Resolves#10067.
## Summary of changes
Log a critical error when ingesting `ClearVmBits` for unknown VM
relations or pages.
## Problem
We want to switch proxy and ideally all Rust services to structured JSON
logging to support better filtering and cross-referencing with tracing.
## Summary of changes
* Introduce a custom tracing-subscriber to write the JSON. In a first
attempt a customized tracing::fmt::FmtSubscriber was used, but it's very
inefficient and can still generate invalid JSON. It's also doesn't allow
us to add important fields to the root object.
* Make this opt in: the `LOGFMT` env var can be set to `"json"` to
enable to new logger at startup.
This PR does a bunch of things:
* only allow errors of the server cert verification, not of the TLS
handshake. The TLS handshake doesn't cause any errors for us so we can
just always require it to be valid. This simplifies the code a little.
* As the solution is more permanent than originally anticipated, I think
it makes sense to move the `AcceptAll` verifier outside.
* log the connstr information. this helps with figuring out which domain
names are configured in the connstr, etc. I think it is generally useful
to print it. make extra sure that the password is not leaked.
Follow-up of #10640
Refactor how extensions are built in compute Dockerfile
1. Rename some of the extension layers, so that names correspond more
precisely to the upstream repository name and the source directory
name. For example, instead of "pg-jsonschema-pg-build", spell it
"pg_jsonschema-build". Some of the layer names had the extra "pg-"
part, and some didn't; harmonize on not having it. And use an
underscore if the upstream project name uses an underscore.
2. Each extension now consists of two dockerfile targets:
[extension]-src and [extension]-build. By convention, the -src
target downloads the sources and applies any neon-specific patches
if necessary. The source tarball is downloaded and extracted under
/ext-src. For example, the 'pgvector' extension creates the
following files and directory:
/ext-src/pgvector.tar.gz # original tarball
/ext-src/pgvector.patch # neon-specific patch, copied from patches/ dir
/ext-src/pgvector-src/ # extracted tarball, with patch applied
This separation avoids re-downloading the sources every time the
extension is recompiled. The 'extension-tests' target also uses the
[extension]-src layers, by copying the /ext-src/ dirs from all
the extensions together into one image.
This refactoring came about when I was experimenting with different
ways of splitting up the Dockerfile so that each extension would be in
a separate file. That's not part of this PR yet, but this is a good
step in modularizing the extensions.
## 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
We don't currently have good alerts for critical errors, e.g. data
loss/corruption.
Touches #10094.
## Summary of changes
Add a `critical!` macro and corresponding
`libmetrics_tracing_event_count{level="critical"}` metric. This will:
* Emit an `ERROR` log message with prefix `"CRITICAL:"` and a backtrace.
* Increment `libmetrics_tracing_event_count{level="critical"}`, and
indirectly `level="error"`.
* Trigger a pageable alert (via the metric above).
* In debug builds, panic the process.
I'll add uses of the macro separately.
## 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
We encountered some TLS validation errors for the storcon since applying

- Enable logical replication in `test-logical-replication` job
Logging errors with the debug format specifier causes multi-line errors,

While working on https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10617 I
(unintentionally) merged the PR before the main CI pipeline has

I suspect this happens because we have received all the required job

include changes to relevant files.
## Summary of changes

## Problem
This test would sometimes emit unexpected logs from the storage
controller's requests to do migrations, which overlap with the test's
restarts of pageservers, where those migrations are happening some time
after a shard split as the controller moves load around.
Example:
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-10602/13067323736/index.html#testresult/f66f1329557a1fc5/retries
## Summary of changes
- Do a reconcile_until_idle after shard split, so that the rest of the
test doesn't run concurrently with migrations
In the safekeeper, we block deletions on the timeline's gate closing,
and any `WalResidentTimeline` keeps the gate open (because it owns a
gate lock object). Thus, unless the `main_task` function of a partial
backup doesn't return, we can't delete the associated timeline.
In order to make these tasks exit early, we call the cancellation token
of the timeline upon its shutdown. However, the partial backup task
wasn't looking for the cancellation while waiting to acquire a partial
backup permit.
On a staging safekeeper we have been in a situation in the past where
the semaphore was already empty for a duration of many hours, rendering
all attempted deletions unable to proceed until a restart where the
semaphore was reset:

We forked copy_bidirectional to solve some issues like fast-shutdown
(disallowing half-open connections) and to introduce better error
tracking (which side of the conn closed down).
A change recently made its way upstream offering performance
improvements: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/pull/6532. These seem
applicable to our fork, thus it makes sense to apply them here as well.
The primary benefit is that all the ad hoc get_matches() calls are no
longer necessary. Now all it takes to get at the CLI arguments is
referencing a struct member. It's also great the we can replace the ad
hoc CLI struct we had with this more formal solution.

When a client dropped before a request completed, and a handler returned

already exist on main will only be found if we try to merge new things
into main.
## Summary of changes
We split out `cargo-deny` into a separate workflow that runs on all PRs
that touch `Cargo.lock`, and on a schedule on `main`, `release`,
`release-compute` and `release-proxy` to find new advisories.

to validate the test results between each part of the test. It performs
a simple sequential scan and aggregation, but was taking an order of
magnitude longer on v17 than on previous Postgres versions, which
sometimes caused the test to time out. There were two reasons for that:
1. On v17, the planner estimates the table to have only only one row. In
reality it has 305790 rows, and older versions estimated it at 611580,
which is not too bad given that the table has not been analyzed so the
planner bases that estimate just on the number of pages and the widths
of the datatypes. The new estimate of 1 row is much worse, and it leads
the planner to disregard parallel plans, whereas on older versions you
got a Parallel Seq Scan.
I tracked this down to upstream commit 29cf61ade3, "Consider fillfactor
when estimating relation size". With that commit,
table_block_relation_estimate_size() function calculates that each page
accommodates less than 1 row when the fillfactor is taken into account,
which rounds down to 0. In reality, the executor will always place at
least one row on a page regardless of fillfactor, but the new estimation
formula doesn't take that into account.
I reported this to pgsql-hackers
(https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/2bf9d973-7789-4937-a7ca-0af9fb49c71e%40iki.fi),
we don't need to do anything more about it in neon. It's OK to not use
parallel scans here; once issue 2. below is addressed, the queries are
fast enough without parallelism..
2. On v17, prefetching was not happening for the sequential scan. That's
because starting with v17, buffers are reserved in the shared buffer
cache before prefetching is initiated, and we use a tiny
shared_buffers=1MB setting in the tests. The prefetching is effectively
disabled with such a small shared_buffers setting, to protect the system
from completely starving out of buffers.
To address that, simply bump up shared_buffers in the test.
This patch addresses the second issue, which is enough to fix the
problem.
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10438 it was pointed out
that it would be good to avoid picking tenants in ID order, and also to
avoid situations where we might double-select the same tenant.
There was an initial swing at this in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10443, where Chi suggested a
simpler approach which is done in this PR
## Summary of changes
- Split total set of tenants into in and out of home AZ
- Consume out of home AZ first, and if necessary shuffle + consume from
out of home AZ
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10438 I had got the
function for picking tenants backwards, and it was preferring to move
things _away_ from their preferred AZ.
## Summary of changes
- Fix condition in `is_attached_outside_preferred_az`
## Problem
Timeline bootstrap starts a flush loop, but doesn't reliably shut down
the timeline (incl. waiting for flush loop to exit) before destroying
UninitializedTimeline, and that destructor tries to clean up local
storage. If local storage is still being written to, then this is
unsound.
Currently the symptom is that we see a "Directory not empty" error log,
e.g.
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/main/12966756686/index.html#testresult/5523f7d15f46f7f7/retries
## Summary of changes
- Move fallible IO part of bootstrap into a function (notably, this is
fallible in the case of the tenant being shut down while creation is
happening)
- When that function returns an error, call shutdown() on the timeline
## Problem
The test asserts that it completes at least 10 full timeline lifecycles,
but the noisy CI environment sometimes doesn't meet that goal.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10389
## Summary of changes
- Sleep for longer between pageserver restarts, so that the timeline
workers have more chance to make progress
- Sleep for shorter between retries from timeline worker, so that they
have better chance to get in while a pageserver is up between restarts
- Relax the success condition to complete at least 5 iterations instead
of 10

## Test run
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/13053968231
It took me ages to figure out why it was failing on my laptop. What I
saw was that when the test makes the 'import_pgdata' in the pageserver,
the pageserver actually performs a regular 'bootstrap' timeline creation
by running initdb, with no importing. It boiled down to the json request
that the test uses:
```
{
"new_timeline_id": str(timeline_id),
"import_pgdata": {
"idempotency_key": str(idempotency),
"location": {"LocalFs": {"path": str(importbucket.absolute())}},
},
},
```
and how serde deserializes into rust structs. The 'LocalFs' enum variant
in `models.rs` is gated on the 'testing' cargo feature. On a non-testing
build, that got deserialized into the default Bootstrap enum variant, as
a valid TimelineCreateRequestModeImportPgdata variant could not be
formed.
PS. IMHO we should get rid of the testing feature, compile in all the
functionality, and have a runtime flag to disable anything dangeorous.
With that, you would've gotten a nice "feature only enabled in testing
mode" error in this case, or the test would've simply worked. But that's
another story.
## Problem
close https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10482
## Summary of changes
Add an extra lock on the read path to protect against races. The read
path has an implication that only certain kind of compactions can be
performed. Garbage keys must first have an image layer covering the
range, and then being gc-ed -- they cannot be done in one operation. An
alternative to fix this is to move the layers read guard to be acquired
at the beginning of `get_vectored_reconstruct_data_timeline`, but that
was intentionally optimized out and I don't want to regress.
The race is not limited to image layers. Gc-compaction will consolidate
deltas automatically and produce a flat delta layer (i.e., when we have
retain_lsns below the gc-horizon). The same race would also cause
behaviors like getting an un-replayable key history as in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10049.

## Problem
In some cases, we were returning a very shallow error like `error
sending request for url (XXX)`, which made it very hard to figure out
the actual error.
## Summary of changes
Use `{:?}` in a few places, and remove it from places where we were
printing a string anyway.
Related to #10308, we might have legitimate changes in file size or
generation. Those changes should not cause warn log lines.
In order to detect changes of the generation number while the file size
stayed the same, load the metadata that we store on disk on loading of
the timeline.
Still do a comparison with the on-disk layer sizes to find any
discrepancies that might occur due to race conditions (new metadata file
gets written but layer file has not been updated yet, and PS shuts
down). However, as it's possible to hit it in a race conditon, downgrade
it to a warning.
Also fix a mistake in #10529: we want to compare the old with the new
metadata, not the old metadata with itself.
## Problem
The client code for `tenant-set-preferred-az` declared response type
`()`, so printed a spurious error on each use:
```
Error: receive body: error decoding response body: invalid type: map, expected unit at line 1 column 0
```
The requests were successful anyway.

## Problem
We don't have per-timeline observability for read amplification.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23283.
## Summary of changes
Add a per-timeline `pageserver_layers_per_read` histogram.
NB: per-timeline histograms are expensive, but probably worth it in this
case.
## Problem
We suspect that Postgres checkpoints will limit the number of page
deltas necessary to reconstruct a page, but don't know for certain.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23283.
## Summary of changes
Add `pageserver_deltas_per_read_global` metric.
This pairs with `pageserver_layers_per_read_global` from #10573.
## Problem
The current global `pageserver_layers_visited_per_vectored_read_global`
metric does not appear to accurately measure read amplification. It
divides the layer count by the number of reads in a batch, but this
means that e.g. 10 reads with 100 L0 layers will only measure a read amp
of 10 per read, while the actual read amp was 100.
While the cost of layer visits are amortized across the batch, and some
layers may not intersect with a given key, each visited layer
contributes directly to the observed latency for every read in the
batch, which is what we care about.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23283.
Extracted from #10566.
## Summary of changes
* Count the number of layers visited towards each read in the batch,
instead of the average across the batch.
* Rename `pageserver_layers_visited_per_vectored_read_global` to
`pageserver_layers_per_read_global`.
* Reduce the read amp log warning threshold down from 512 to 100.
## Problem
Follow up of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10550 in case the
upper limit is set larger than threshold. It does not make sense for
someone to enforce the behavior like "if there are >= 50 L0s, only
compact 10 of them".

Use the maximum of compaction threshold and upper limit when selecting
L0 files to compact.

## Problem
We don't have good observability for per-timeline compaction debt,
specifically the number of delta layers in the frozen, L0, and L1
levels.

## Summary of changes
* Add a `level` label for `pageserver_layer_{count,size}` with values
`l0`, `l1`, and `frozen`.
* Track metrics for frozen layers.
There is already a `kind={delta,image}` label. `kind=image` is only
possible for `level=l1`.
We don't include the currently open ephemeral layer, only frozen layers.
There is always exactly 1 ephemeral layer, with a dynamic size which is
already tracked in `pageserver_timeline_ephemeral_bytes`.
## Problem
benchmarking.yml so far is only running benchmarks with PostgreSQL
version 16.
However neon recently changed the default for new customers to
PostgreSQL version 17.
See related [epic](https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23295)
## Summary of changes
We do not want to run every job step with both pg 16 and 17 because this
would need excessive resources (runners, computes) and extend the
benchmarking run wall clock time too much.
So we select an opinionated subset of testcases that we also report in
weekly reporting and add a postgres v17 job step.
For re-use projects associated Neon projects have been created and
connection strings have been added to neon database organization
secrets.
A follow up is to add the reporting for these new runs to some grafana
dashboards.
## Problem
1. d04d924 added separate metrics for total requests and failures
separately, but it doesn't make much sense. We could just have a unified
counter with `http_status`.
2. `test_compute_migrations_retry` had a race, i.e., it was waiting for
the last successful migration, not an actual failure. This was revealed
after adding an assert on failure metric in d04d924.
## Summary of changes
1. Switch to unified counters for `compute_ctl` requests.
2. Add a waiting loop into `test_compute_migrations_retry` to eliminate
the race.

In #10308, we noticed many warnings about the local layer having
different sizes on-disk compared to the metadata.
However, the layer downloader would never redownload layer files if the
sizes or generation numbers change. This is obviously a bug, which we
aim to fix with this PR.
This change also moves the code deciding what to do about a layer to a
dedicated function: before we handled the "routing" via control flow,
but now it's become too complicated and it is nicer to have the
different verdicts for a layer spelled out in a list/match.
This reverts commit 9e55d79803.
We'll still need this until we can tune L0 flush backpressure and
compaction. I'll add a setting to disable this separately.

Plane (`neon_local`)`
- Change "Running local installation" to "Running a local development

## Problem
The intent of this parameter is to have pageservers consider themselves
"full" if they've got lots of shards, even if they have plenty of
capacity. It works, but because we typically successfully oversubscribe
capacity up to 200%, the MAX_SHARDS limit is effectively doubled, so
this 20,000 value ends up meaning 40,000, whereas the original intent
was to limit nodes to ~10000 shards.
## Summary of changes
- Change MAX_SHARDS to 5000, so that a node with 5000 will get a 100%
utilization, which is equivalent in practice to being considered "half
full" by the storage controller in capacity terms.
This is all a bit subtle and indiret. Originally the limit was baked
into the pageserver with the idea that the pageserver knows better what
its own resources tolerate than the storage controller does, but in
practice it would be probably be easier to understand all this if we
just did it controller-side. So there's scope to refactor here in
future.
Switches the storcon away from using diesel's synchronous APIs in favour
of `diesel-async`.
Advantages:
* less C dependencies, especially no openssl, which might be behind the
bug: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21010
* Better to only have async than mix of async plus `spawn_blocking`
We had to turn off usage of the connection pool for migrations, as
diesel migrations don't support async APIs. Thus we still use
`spawn_blocking` in that one place. But this is explicitly done in one
of the `diesel-async` examples.
## Problem
In ingest benchmarks, we see L0 compaction delays of over 10 minutes due
to image compaction. We can't stall L0 flushes for that long.
## Summary of changes
Disable L0 flush stalls, and bump the default L0 flush delay threshold
from 20 to 30 L0 layers.
## Problem
If compaction fails, we disable L0 flush stalls to avoid persistent
stalls. However, the logic would unset the failure marker on offload
failures or shutdown. This can lead to sudden L0 flush stalls if we try
and fail to offload a timeline with compaction failures, or if there is
some kind of shutdown race.
Touches #10405.
## Summary of changes
Don't touch the compaction failure marker on offload failures or
shutdown.
## Problem
After talking about it again with @bayandin again this should replace
the changes from https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10475. While
the previous changes worked, they are less visually clear in what
happens, and we might end up in a situation where we update `latest`,
but don't actually have the tagged image pushed that contains the same
changes. The latter would result in potentially hard to debug
situations.

## Problem
SK wal reader fan-out is not enabled in tests by default.
## Summary of changes
Enable it.
## Problem
There is no direct backpressure for compaction and L0 read
amplification. This allows a large buildup of compaction debt and read
amplification.
Resolves#5415.
Requires #10402.
## Summary of changes
Delay layer flushes based on the number of level 0 delta layers:
* `l0_flush_delay_threshold`: delay flushes such that they take 2x as
long (default `2 * compaction_threshold`).
* `l0_flush_stall_threshold`: stall flushes until level 0 delta layers
drop below threshold (default `4 * compaction_threshold`).
If either threshold is reached, ephemeral layer rolls also synchronously
wait for layer flushes to propagate this backpressure up into WAL
ingestion. This will bound the number of frozen layers to 1 once
backpressure kicks in, since all other frozen layers must flush before
the rolled layer.
## Analysis
This will significantly change the compute backpressure characteristics.
Recall the three compute backpressure knobs:
* `max_replication_write_lag`: 500 MB (based on Pageserver
`last_received_lsn`).
* `max_replication_flush_lag`: 10 GB (based on Pageserver
`disk_consistent_lsn`).
* `max_replication_apply_lag`: disabled (based on Pageserver
`remote_consistent_lsn`).
Previously, the Pageserver would keep ingesting WAL and build up
ephemeral layers and L0 layers until the compute hit
`max_replication_flush_lag` at 10 GB and began backpressuring. Now, once
we delay/stall WAL ingestion, the compute will begin backpressuring
after `max_replication_write_lag`, i.e. 500 MB. This is probably a good
thing (we're not building up a ton of compaction debt), but we should
consider tuning these settings.
`max_replication_flush_lag` probably doesn't serve a purpose anymore,
and we should consider removing it.
Furthermore, the removal of the upload barrier in #10402 will mean that
we no longer backpressure flushes based on S3 uploads, since
`max_replication_apply_lag` is disabled. We should consider enabling
this as well.
### When and what do we compact?
Default compaction settings:
* `compaction_threshold`: 10 L0 delta layers.
* `compaction_period`: 20 seconds (between each compaction loop check).
* `checkpoint_distance`: 256 MB (size of L0 delta layers).
* `l0_flush_delay_threshold`: 20 L0 delta layers.
* `l0_flush_stall_threshold`: 40 L0 delta layers.
Compaction characteristics:
* Minimum compaction volume: 10 layers * 256 MB = 2.5 GB.
* Additional compaction volume (assuming 128 MB/s WAL): 128 MB/s * 20
seconds = 2.5 GB (10 L0 layers).
* Required compaction bandwidth: 5.0 GB / 20 seconds = 256 MB/s.
### When do we hit `max_replication_write_lag`?
Depending on how fast compaction and flushes happens, the compute will
backpressure somewhere between `l0_flush_delay_threshold` or
`l0_flush_stall_threshold` + `max_replication_write_lag`.
* Minimum compute backpressure lag: 20 layers * 256 MB + 500 MB = 5.6 GB
* Maximum compute backpressure lag: 40 layers * 256 MB + 500 MB = 10.0
GB
This seems like a reasonable range to me.
This reapplies #10135. Just removing this flush backpressure without
further mitigations caused read amp increases during bulk ingestion
(predictably), so it was reverted. We will replace it by
compaction-based backpressure.
## Problem
In #8550, we made the flush loop wait for uploads after every layer.
This was to avoid unbounded buildup of uploads, and to reduce compaction
debt. However, the approach has several problems:
* It prevents upload parallelism.
* It prevents flush and upload pipelining.
* It slows down ingestion even when there is no need to backpressure.
* It does not directly backpressure based on compaction debt and read
amplification.
We will instead implement compaction-based backpressure in a PR
immediately following this removal (#5415).
Touches #5415.
Touches #10095.
## Summary of changes
Remove waiting on the upload queue in the flush loop.
## Problem
If gc-compaction decides to rewrite an image layer, it will now cause
index_part to lose reference to that layer. In details,
* Assume there's only one image layer of key 0000...AAAA at LSN 0x100
and generation 0xA in the system.
* gc-compaction kicks in at gc-horizon 0x100, and then produce
0000...AAAA at LSN 0x100 and generation 0xB.
* It submits a compaction result update into the index part that unlinks
0000-AAAA-100-A and adds 0000-AAAA-100-B
On the remote storage / local disk side, this is fine -- it unlinks
things correctly and uploads the new file. However, the
`index_part.json` itself doesn't record generations. The buggy procedure
is as follows:
1. upload the new file
2. update the index part to remove the old file and add the new file
3. remove the new file
Therefore, the correct update result process for gc-compaction should be
as follows:
* When modifying the layer map, delete the old one and upload the new
one.
* When updating the index, uploading the new one in the index without
deleting the old one.
## Summary of changes
* Modify `finish_gc_compaction` to correctly order insertions and
deletions.
* Update the way gc-compaction uploads the layer files.
* Add new tests.

Add new compute_ctl spec flag: drop_subscriptions_before_start
If it is set, drop all the subscriptions from the compute node
before it starts.
To avoid race on compute start, use new GUC
neon.disable_logical_replication_subscribers
to temporarily disable logical replication workers until we drop the
subscriptions.
Ensure that we drop subscriptions exactly once when endpoint starts on a
new branch.
It is essential, because otherwise, we may drop not only inherited, but
newly created subscriptions.
We cannot rely only on spec.drop_subscriptions_before_start flag,
because if for some reason compute restarts inside VM,
it will start again with the same spec and flag value.
To handle this, we save the fact of the operation in the database
in the neon.drop_subscriptions_done table.
If the table does not exist, we assume that the operation was never
performed, so we must do it.
If table exists, we check if the operation was performed on the current
timeline.

## Problem
Not really a bug fix, but hopefully can reproduce
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10482 more.
If the layer map does not contain layers that end at exactly the end
range of the compaction job, the current split algorithm will produce
the last job that ends at the maximum layer key. This patch extends it
all the way to the compaction job end key.
For example, the user requests a compaction of 0000...FFFF. However, we
only have a layer 0000..3000 in the layer map, and the split job will
have a range of 0000..3000 instead of 0000..FFFF.
This is not a correctness issue but it would be better to fix it so that
we can get consistent job splits.
## Summary of changes
Compaction job split will always cover the full specified key range.

## Problem
PR #10457 was supposed to fix the flakiness of
`test_scrubber_physical_gc_ancestors`, but instead it made it even more
flaky. However, the original error causes disappeared, now to be
replaced by key not found errors.
See this for a longer explanation:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10391#issuecomment-2608018967
## Solution
This does one churn rows after all compactions, and before we do any
timeline gc's. That way, we remain more accessible at older lsn's.
## Problem
The trust connection to the compute required for `pg_anon` was removed.
However, the PGPASSWORD environment variable was not added to
`docker-compose.yml`.
This caused connection errors, which were interpreted as success due to
errors in the bash script.
## Summary of changes
The environment variable was added, and the logic in the bash script was
fixed.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/12896686483/job/35961290336#step:5:107
showed that `promote-images-prod` was missing another dependency.
## Summary of changes
Modify `promote-images-prod` to tag based on docker-hub images, so that
`promote-images-prod` does not rely on `promote-images-dev`. The result
should be the exact same, but allows the two jobs to run in parallel.

## Problem
The read path does its IOs sequentially.
This means that if N values need to be read to reconstruct a page,
we will do N IOs and getpage latency is `O(N*IoLatency)`.
## Solution
With this PR we gain the ability to issue IO concurrently within one
layer visit **and** to move on to the next layer without waiting for IOs
from the previous visit to complete.
This is an evolved version of the work done at the Lisbon hackathon,
cf https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9002.
## Design
### `will_init` now sourced from disk btree index keys
On the algorithmic level, the only change is that the
`get_values_reconstruct_data`
now sources `will_init` from the disk btree index key (which is
PS-page_cache'd), instead
of from the `Value`, which is only available after the IO completes.
### Concurrent IOs, Submission & Completion
To separate IO submission from waiting for its completion, while
simultaneously
feature-gating the change, we introduce the notion of an `IoConcurrency`
struct
through which IO futures are "spawned".
An IO is an opaque future, and waiting for completions is handled
through
`tokio::sync::oneshot` channels.
The oneshot Receiver's take the place of the `img` and `records` fields
inside `VectoredValueReconstructState`.
When we're done visiting all the layers and submitting all the IOs along
the way
we concurrently `collect_pending_ios` for each value, which means
for each value there is a future that awaits all the oneshot receivers
and then calls into walredo to reconstruct the page image.
Walredo is now invoked concurrently for each value instead of
sequentially.
Walredo itself remains unchanged.
The spawned IO futures are driven to completion by a sidecar tokio task
that
is separate from the task that performs all the layer visiting and
spawning of IOs.
That tasks receives the IO futures via an unbounded mpsc channel and
drives them to completion inside a `FuturedUnordered`.
(The behavior from before this PR is available through
`IoConcurrency::Sequential`,
which awaits the IO futures in place, without "spawning" or "submitting"
them
anywhere.)
#### Alternatives Explored
A few words on the rationale behind having a sidecar *task* and what
alternatives were considered.
One option is to queue up all IO futures in a FuturesUnordered that is
polled
the first time when we `collect_pending_ios`.
Firstly, the IO futures are opaque, compiler-generated futures that need
to be polled at least once to submit their IO. "At least once" because
tokio-epoll-uring may not be able to submit the IO to the kernel on
first
poll right away.
Second, there are deadlocks if we don't drive the IO futures to
completion
independently of the spawning task.
The reason is that both the IO futures and the spawning task may hold
some
_and_ try to acquire _more_ shared limited resources.
For example, both spawning task and IO future may try to acquire
* a VirtualFile file descriptor cache slot async mutex (observed during
impl)
* a tokio-epoll-uring submission slot (observed during impl)
* a PageCache slot (currently this is not the case but we may move more
code into the IO futures in the future)
Another option is to spawn a short-lived `tokio::task` for each IO
future.
We implemented and benchmarked it during development, but found little
throughput improvement and moderate mean & tail latency degradation.
Concerns about pressure on the tokio scheduler made us discard this
variant.
The sidecar task could be obsoleted if the IOs were not arbitrary code
but a well-defined struct.
However,
1. the opaque futures approach taken in this PR allows leaving the
existing
code unchanged, which
2. allows us to implement the `IoConcurrency::Sequential` mode for
feature-gating
the change.
Once the new mode sidecar task implementation is rolled out everywhere,
and `::Sequential` removed, we can think about a descriptive submission
& completion interface.
The problems around deadlocks pointed out earlier will need to be solved
then.
For example, we could eliminate VirtualFile file descriptor cache and
tokio-epoll-uring slots.
The latter has been drafted in
https://github.com/neondatabase/tokio-epoll-uring/pull/63.
See the lengthy doc comment on `spawn_io()` for more details.
### Error handling
There are two error classes during reconstruct data retrieval:
* traversal errors: index lookup, move to next layer, and the like
* value read IO errors
A traversal error fails the entire get_vectored request, as before this
PR.
A value read error only fails that value.
In any case, we preserve the existing behavior that once
`get_vectored` returns, all IOs are done. Panics and failing
to poll `get_vectored` to completion will leave the IOs dangling,
which is safe but shouldn't happen, and so, a rate-limited
log statement will be emitted at warning level.
There is a doc comment on `collect_pending_ios` giving more code-level
details and rationale.
### Feature Gating
The new behavior is opt-in via pageserver config.
The `Sequential` mode is the default.
The only significant change in `Sequential` mode compared to before
this PR is the buffering of results in the `oneshot`s.
## Code-Level Changes
Prep work:
* Make `GateGuard` clonable.
Core Feature:
* Traversal code: track `will_init` in `BlobMeta` and source it from
the Delta/Image/InMemory layer index, instead of determining `will_init`
after we've read the value. This avoids having to read the value to
determine whether traversal can stop.
* Introduce `IoConcurrency` & its sidecar task.
* `IoConcurrency` is the clonable handle.
* It connects to the sidecar task via an `mpsc`.
* Plumb through `IoConcurrency` from high level code to the
individual layer implementations' `get_values_reconstruct_data`.
We piggy-back on the `ValuesReconstructState` for this.
* The sidecar task should be long-lived, so, `IoConcurrency` needs
to be rooted up "high" in the call stack.
* Roots as of this PR:
* `page_service`: outside of pagestream loop
* `create_image_layers`: when it is called
* `basebackup`(only auxfiles + replorigin + SLRU segments)
* Code with no roots that uses `IoConcurrency::sequential`
* any `Timeline::get` call
* `collect_keyspace` is a good example
* follow-up: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10460
* `TimelineAdaptor` code used by the compaction simulator, unused in
practive
* `ingest_xlog_dbase_create`
* Transform Delta/Image/InMemoryLayer to
* do their values IO in a distinct `async {}` block
* extend the residence of the Delta/Image layer until the IO is done
* buffer their results in a `oneshot` channel instead of straight
in `ValuesReconstructState`
* the `oneshot` channel is wrapped in `OnDiskValueIo` /
`OnDiskValueIoWaiter`
types that aid in expressiveness and are used to keep track of
in-flight IOs so we can print warnings if we leave them dangling.
* Change `ValuesReconstructState` to hold the receiving end of the
`oneshot` channel aka `OnDiskValueIoWaiter`.
* Change `get_vectored_impl` to `collect_pending_ios` and issue walredo
concurrently, in a `FuturesUnordered`.
Testing / Benchmarking:
* Support queue-depth in pagebench for manual benchmarkinng.
* Add test suite support for setting concurrency mode ps config
field via a) an env var and b) via NeonEnvBuilder.
* Hacky helper to have sidecar-based IoConcurrency in tests.
This will be cleaned up later.
More benchmarking will happen post-merge in nightly benchmarks, plus in
staging/pre-prod.
Some intermediate helpers for manual benchmarking have been preserved in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10466 and will be landed in
later PRs.
(L0 layer stack generator!)
Drive-By:
* test suite actually didn't enable batching by default because
`config.compatibility_neon_binpath` is always Truthy in our CI
environment
=> https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C059ZC138NR/p1737490501941309
* initial logical size calculation wasn't always polled to completion,
which was
surfaced through the added WARN logs emitted when dropping a
`ValuesReconstructState` that still has inflight IOs.
* remove the timing histograms
`pageserver_getpage_get_reconstruct_data_seconds`
and `pageserver_getpage_reconstruct_seconds` because with planning,
value read
IO, and walredo happening concurrently, one can no longer attribute
latency
to any one of them; we'll revisit this when Vlad's work on
tracing/sampling
through RequestContext lands.
* remove code related to `get_cached_lsn()`.
The logic around this has been dead at runtime for a long time,
ever since the removal of the materialized page cache in #8105.
## Testing
Unit tests use the sidecar task by default and run both modes in CI.
Python regression tests and benchmarks also use the sidecar task by
default.
We'll test more in staging and possibly preprod.
# Future Work
Please refer to the parent epic for the full plan.
The next step will be to fold the plumbing of IoConcurrency
into RequestContext so that the function signatures get cleaned up.
Once `Sequential` isn't used anymore, we can take the next
big leap which is replacing the opaque IOs with structs
that have well-defined semantics.

## Problem
Both these versions are binary compatible, but the way pgvector
structures the SQL files forbids installing 0.7.4 if you have a 0.8.0
distribution. Yet, some users may need a previous version for backward
compatibility, e.g., restoring the dump.
See this thread for discussion
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C04DGM6SMTM/p1735911490242919?thread_ts=1731343604.259169&cid=C04DGM6SMTM
## Summary of changes
Put `vector--0.7.4.sql` file into compute image to allow installing this
version as well.
Tested on staging and it seems to be working as expected:
```sql
select * from pg_available_extensions where name = 'vector';
name | default_version | installed_version | comment
--------+-----------------+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------
vector | 0.8.0 | (null) | vector data type and ivfflat and hnsw access methods
create extension vector version '0.7.4';
select * from pg_available_extensions where name = 'vector';
name | default_version | installed_version | comment
--------+-----------------+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------
vector | 0.8.0 | 0.7.4 | vector data type and ivfflat and hnsw access methods
alter extension vector update;
select * from pg_available_extensions where name = 'vector';
name | default_version | installed_version | comment
--------+-----------------+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------
vector | 0.8.0 | 0.8.0 | vector data type and ivfflat and hnsw access methods
drop extension vector;
create extension vector;
select * from pg_available_extensions where name = 'vector';
name | default_version | installed_version | comment
--------+-----------------+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------
vector | 0.8.0 | 0.8.0 | vector data type and ivfflat and hnsw access methods
```
If we find out it's a good approach, we can adopt the same for other
extensions with a stable ABI -- support both `current` and `current - 1`
releases.

# Problem
Before this PR, when task_mgr shutdown is signalled, e.g. during
pageserver shutdown or Tenant shutdown, initial logical size calculation
stops polling and drops the future that represents the calculation.
This is against the current policy that we poll all futures to
completion.
This became apparent during development of concurrent IO which warns if
we drop a `Timeline::get_vectored` future that still has in-flight IOs.
We may revise the policy in the future, but, right now initial logical
size calculation is the only part of the codebase that doesn't adhere to
the policy, so let's fix it.
## Code Changes
- make sensitive exclusively to `Timeline::cancel`
- This should be sufficient for all cases of shutdowns; the sensitivity
to task_mgr shutdown is unnecessary.
- this broke the various cancel tests in `test_timeline_size.py`, e.g.,
`test_timeline_initial_logical_size_calculation_cancellation`
- the tests would time out because the await point was not sensitive to
cancellation
- to fix this, refactor `pausable_failpoint` so that it accepts a
cancellation token
- side note: we _really_ should write our own failpoint library; maybe
after we get heap-allocated RequestContext, we can plumb failpoints
through there.
## Problem
PR #9993 was supposed to enable `page_service_pipelining` by default for
all `NeonEnv`s, but this was ineffective in our CI environment.
Thus, CI Python-based tests and benchmarks, unless explicitly
configuring pipelining, were still using serial protocol handling.
## Analysis
The root cause was that in our CI environment,
`config.compatibility_neon_binpath` is always Truthy.
It's not in local environments, which is why this slipped through in
local testing.
Lesson: always add a log line ot pageserver startup and spot-check tests
to ensure the intended default is picked up.
## Summary of changes
Fix it. Since enough time has passed, the compatiblity snapshot contains
a recent enough software version so we don't need to worry about
`compatibility_neon_binpath` anymore.
## Future Work
The question how to add a new default except for compatibliity tests,
which is what the broken code was supposed to do, is still unsolved.

## Problem
Currently, the layer flush loop will continue flushing layers as long as
any are pending, and only notify waiters once there are no further
layers to flush. This can cause waiters to wait longer than necessary,
and potentially starve them if pending layers keep arriving faster than
they can be flushed. The impact of this will increase when we add
compaction backpressure and propagate it up into the WAL receiver.
Extracted from #10405.
## Summary of changes
Break out of the layer flush loop once we've flushed up to the requested
LSN. If further flush requests have arrived in the meanwhile, flushing
will resume immediately after.
## Problem
For compaction backpressure, we need a mechanism to signal when
compaction has reduced the L0 delta layer count below the backpressure
threshold.
Extracted from #10405.
## Summary of changes
Add `LayerMap::watch_level0_deltas()` which returns a
`tokio::sync:⌚:Receiver` signalling the current L0 delta layer
count.
## Problem
It's sometimes useful to obtain the elapsed duration from a
`StorageTimeMetricsTimer` for purposes beyond just recording it in
metrics (e.g. to log it).
Extracted from #10405.
## Summary of changes
Add `StorageTimeMetricsTimer.elapsed()` and return the duration from
`stop_and_record()`.

## Problem
We are removing the `pg_anon` v1 extension from Neon. So we don't need
to test it anymore and can remove the code for simplicity.
## Summary of changes
The code required for testing `pg_anon` is removed.
We did not have any tests on fast_import binary yet.
In this PR I have introduced:
- `FastImport` class and tools for testing in python
- basic test that runs fast import against vanilla postgres and checks
that data is there
Should be merged after https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10251
We currently have some flakiness in
`test_scrubber_physical_gc_ancestors`, see #10391.
The first flakiness kind is about the reconciler not actually becoming
idle within the timeout of 30 seconds. We see continuous forward
progress so this is likely not a hang. We also see this happen in
parallel to a test failure, so is likely due to runners being
overloaded. Therefore, we increase the timeout.
The second flakiness kind is an assertion failure. This one is a little
bit more tricky, but we saw in the successful run that there was some
advance of the lsn between the compaction ran (which created layer
files) and the gc run. Apparently gc rejects reductions to the single
image layer setting if the cutoff lsn is the same as the lsn of the
image layer: it will claim that that layer is newer than the space
cutoff and therefore skip it, while thinking the old layer (that we want
to delete) is the latest one (so it's not deleted).
We address the second flakiness kind by inserting a tiny amount of WAL
between the compaction and gc. This should hopefully fix things.
Related issue: #10391
(not closing it with the merger of the PR as we'll need to validate that
these changes had the intended effect).
Thanks to Chi for going over this together with me in a call.
## Problem
When releasing `release-7574`, the Github Release creation failed with
"body is too long" (see
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/12834025431/job/35792346745#step:5:77).
There's lots of room for improvement of the release notes, but for now
we'll disable them instead.
## Summary of changes
- Disable automatic generation of release notes for Github releases
- Enable creation of Github releases for proxy/compute
This simplifies the code in `pageserver_physical_gc` a little bit after
the feedback in #10007 that the code is too complicated.
Most importantly, we don't pass around `GcSummary` any more in a
complicated fashion, and we save on async stream-combinator-inception in
one place in favour of `try_stream!{}`.

Otherwise we might hit ERRORs in otherwise safe situations (such as user
queries), which isn't a great user experience.

## Hypothesis
Annotated code in

```
T1: drop Cache, executes up to (1)
=> HandleInner is now in state ShutDown
T2: Timeline::shutdown => PerTimelineState::shutdown executes shutdown() again => panics
```
Likely this snuck in the final touches of #10386 where I narrowed down
the locking rules.
## Summary of changes
Make duplicate shutdowns a no-op.
## Summary
Whereas currently we send all WAL to all pageserver shards, and each
shard filters out the data that it needs,
in this RFC we add a mechanism to filter the WAL on the safekeeper, so
that each shard receives
only the data it needs.
This will place some extra CPU load on the safekeepers, in exchange for
reducing the network bandwidth
for ingesting WAL back to scaling as O(1) with shard count, rather than
O(N_shards).
Touches #9329.

## Problem
Since #9916 , the chaos code is actively fighting the optimizer: tenants
tend to be attached in their preferred AZ, so most chaos migrations were
moving them to a non-preferred AZ.
## Summary of changes
- When picking migrations, prefer to migrate things _toward_ their
preferred AZ when possible. Then pick shards to move the other way when
necessary.
The resulting behavior should be an alternating "back and forth" where
the chaos code migrates thiings away from home, and then migrates them
back on the next iteration.
The side effect will be that the chaos code actively helps to push
things into their home AZ. That's not contrary to its purpose though: we
mainly just want it to continuously migrate things to exercise
migration+notification code.
## Problem
Occasionally, we encounter bugs in test environments that can be
detected at the point of uploading an index, but we proceed to upload it
anyway and leave a tenant in a broken state that's awkward to handle.
## Summary of changes
- Validate index when submitting it for upload, so that we can see the
issue quickly e.g. in an API invoking compaction
- Validate index before executing the upload, so that we have a hard
enforcement that any code path that tries to upload an index will not
overwrite a valid index with an invalid one.
Add an endpoint to obtain the utilization of a safekeeper. Future
changes to the storage controller can use this endpoint to find the most
suitable safekeepers for newly created timelines, analogously to how
it's done for pageservers already.
Initially we just want to assign by timeline count, then we can iterate
from there.

## Problem
871e8b325f failed CI on main because a job
ran to soon. This was caused by
ea84ec357f. While `promote-images-dev`
does not inherently need `neon-image`, a few jobs depending on
`promote-images-dev` do need it, and previously had it when it was
`promote-images`, which depended on `test-images`, which in turn
depended on `neon-image`.
## Summary of changes
To ensure jobs depending `docker.io/neondatabase/neon` images get them,
`promote-images-dev` gets the dependency to `neon-image` back which it
previously had transitively through `test-images`.
Instead of generating our own request ID, we can just use the one
provided by the control plane. In the event, we get a request from a
client which doesn't set X-Request-ID, then we just generate one which
is useful for tracing purposes.

# Problem
`Tenant::shutdown` was occasionally taking many minutes (sometimes up to
20) in staging and prod if the
`page_service_pipelining.mode="concurrent-futures"` is enabled.
# Symptoms
The issue happens during shard migration between pageservers.
There is page_service unavailability and hence effectively downtime for
customers in the following case:
1. The source (state `AttachedStale`) gets stuck in `Tenant::shutdown`,
waiting for the gate to close.
2. Cplane/Storcon decides to transition the target `AttachedMulti` to
`AttachedSingle`.
3. That transition comes with a bump of the generation number, causing
the `PUT .../location_config` endpoint to do a full `Tenant::shutdown` /
`Tenant::attach` cycle for the target location.
4. That `Tenant::shutdown` on the target gets stuck, waiting for the
gate to close.
5. Eventually the gate closes (`close completed`), correlating with a
`page_service` connection handler logging that it's exiting because of a
network error (`Connection reset by peer` or `Broken pipe`).
While in (4):
- `Tenant::shutdown` is stuck waiting for all `Timeline::shutdown` calls
to complete.
So, really, this is a `Timeline::shutdown` bug.
- retries from Cplane/Storcon to complete above state transitions, fail
with errors related to the tenant mgr slot being in state
`TenantSlot::InProgress`, the tenant state being
`TenantState::Stopping`, and the timelines being in
`TimelineState::Stopping`, and the `Timeline::cancel` being cancelled.
- Existing (and/or new?) page_service connections log errors `error
reading relation or page version: Not found: Timed out waiting 30s for
tenant active state. Latest state: None`
# Root-Cause
After a lengthy investigation ([internal
write-up](https://www.notion.so/neondatabase/2025-01-09-batching-deadlock-Slow-Log-Analysis-in-Staging-176f189e00478050bc21c1a072157ca4?pvs=4))
I arrived at the following root cause.
The `spsc_fold` channel (`batch_tx`/`batch_rx`) that connects the
Batcher and Executor stages of the pipelined mode was storing a `Handle`
and thus `GateGuard` of the Timeline that was not shutting down.
The design assumption with pipelining was that this would always be a
short transient state.
However, that was incorrect: the Executor was stuck on writing/flushing
an earlier response into the connection to the client, i.e., socket
write being slow because of TCP backpressure.
The probable scenario of how we end up in that case:
1. Compute backend process sends a continuous stream of getpage prefetch
requests into the connection, but never reads the responses (why this
happens: see Appendix section).
2. Batch N is processed by Batcher and Executor, up to the point where
Executor starts flushing the response.
3. Batch N+1 is procssed by Batcher and queued in the `spsc_fold`.
4. Executor is still waiting for batch N flush to finish.
5. Batcher eventually hits the `TimeoutReader` error (10min).
From here on it waits on the
`spsc_fold.send(Err(QueryError(TimeoutReader_error)))`
which will never finish because the batch already inside the `spsc_fold`
is not
being read by the Executor, because the Executor is still stuck in the
flush.
(This state is not observable at our default `info` log level)
6. Eventually, Compute backend process is killed (`close()` on the
socket) or Compute as a whole gets killed (probably no clean TCP
shutdown happening in that case).
7. Eventually, Pageserver TCP stack learns about (6) through RST packets
and the Executor's flush() call fails with an error.
8. The Executor exits, dropping `cancel_batcher` and its end of the
spsc_fold.
This wakes Batcher, causing the `spsc_fold.send` to fail.
Batcher exits.
The pipeline shuts down as intended.
We return from `process_query` and log the `Connection reset by peer` or
`Broken pipe` error.
The following diagram visualizes the wait-for graph at (5)

# Analysis
By holding the GateGuard inside the `spsc_fold` open, the pipelining
implementation
violated the principle established in
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8339).
That is, that `Handle`s must only be held across an await point if that
await point
is sensitive to the `<Handle as Deref<Target=Timeline>>::cancel` token.
In this case, we were holding the Handle inside the `spsc_fold` while
awaiting the
`pgb_writer.flush()` future.
One may jump to the conclusion that we should simply peek into the
spsc_fold to get
that Timeline cancel token and be sensitive to it during flush, then.
But that violates another principle of the design from
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8339.
That is, that the page_service connection lifecycle and the Timeline
lifecycles must be completely decoupled.
Tt must be possible to shut down one shard without shutting down the
page_service connection, because on that single connection we might be
serving other shards attached to this pageserver.
(The current compute client opens separate connections per shard, but,
there are plans to change that.)
# Solution
This PR adds a `handle::WeakHandle` struct that does _not_ hold the
timeline gate open.
It must be `upgrade()`d to get a `handle::Handle`.
That `handle::Handle` _does_ hold the timeline gate open.
The batch queued inside the `spsc_fold` only holds a `WeakHandle`.
We only upgrade it while calling into the various `handle_` methods,
i.e., while interacting with the `Timeline` via `<Handle as
Deref<Target=Timeline>>`.
All that code has always been required to be (and is!) sensitive to
`Timeline::cancel`, and therefore we're guaranteed to bail from it
quickly when `Timeline::shutdown` starts.
We will drop the `Handle` immediately, before we start
`pgb_writer.flush()`ing the responses.
Thereby letting go of our hold on the `GateGuard`, allowing the timeline
shutdown to complete while the page_service handler remains intact.
# Code Changes
* Reproducer & Regression Test
* Developed and proven to reproduce the issue in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10399
* Add a `Test` message to the pagestream protocol (`cfg(feature =
"testing")`).
* Drive-by minimal improvement to the parsing code, we now have a
`PagestreamFeMessageTag`.
* Refactor `pageserver/client` to allow sending and receiving
`page_service` requests independently.
* Add a Rust helper binary to produce situation (4) from above
* Rationale: (4) and (5) are the same bug class, we're holding a gate
open while `flush()`ing.
* Add a Python regression test that uses the helper binary to
demonstrate the problem.
* Fix
* Introduce and use `WeakHandle` as explained earlier.
* Replace the `shut_down` atomic with two enum states for `HandleInner`,
wrapped in a `Mutex`.
* To make `WeakHandle::upgrade()` and `Handle::downgrade()`
cache-efficient:
* Wrap the `Types::Timeline` in an `Arc`
* Wrap the `GateGuard` in an `Arc`
* The separate `Arc`s enable uncontended cloning of the timeline
reference in `upgrade()` and `downgrade()`.
If instead we were `Arc<Timeline>::clone`, different connection handlers
would be hitting the same cache line on every upgrade()/downgrade(),
causing contention.
* Please read the udpated module-level comment in `mod handle`
module-level comment for details.
# Testing & Performance
The reproducer test that failed before the changes now passes, and
obviously other tests are passing as well.
We'll do more testing in staging, where the issue happens every ~4h if
chaos migrations are enabled in storcon.
Existing perf testing will be sufficient, no perf degradation is
expected.
It's a few more alloctations due to the added Arc's, but, they're low
frequency.
# Appendix: Why Compute Sometimes Doesn't Read Responses
Remember, the whole problem surfaced because flush() was slow because
Compute was not reading responses. Why is that?
In short, the way the compute works, it only advances the page_service
protocol processing when it has an interest in data, i.e., when the
pagestore smgr is called to return pages.
Thus, if compute issues a bunch of requests as part of prefetch but then
it turns out it can service the query without reading those pages, it
may very well happen that these messages stay in the TCP until the next
smgr read happens, either in that session, or possibly in another
session.
If there’s too many unread responses in the TCP, the pageserver kernel
is going to backpressure into userspace, resulting in our stuck flush().
All of this stems from the way vanilla Postgres does prefetching and
"async IO":
it issues `fadvise()` to make the kernel do the IO in the background,
buffering results in the kernel page cache.
It then consumes the results through synchronous `read()` system calls,
which hopefully will be fast because of the `fadvise()`.
If it turns out that some / all of the prefetch results are not needed,
Postgres will not be issuing those `read()` system calls.
The kernel will eventually react to that by reusing page cache pages
that hold completed prefetched data.
Uncompleted prefetch requests may or may not be processed -- it's up to
the kernel.
In Neon, the smgr + Pageserver together take on the role of the kernel
in above paragraphs.
In the current implementation, all prefetches are sent as GetPage
requests to Pageserver.
The responses are only processed in the places where vanilla Postgres
would do the synchronous `read()` system call.
If we never get to that, the responses are queued inside the TCP
connection, which, once buffers run full, will backpressure into
Pageserver's sending code, i.e., the `pgb_writer.flush()` that was the
root cause of the problems we're fixing in this PR.
The extension now supports Postgres 17. The release also seems to be
binary compatible with the previous version.

## Problem
`test_storage_controller_node_deletion` sometimes failed because shards
were moving around during timeline creation, and neon_local isn't
tolerant of that. The movements were unexpected because the shards had
only just been created.
This was a regression from #9916Closes: #10383
## Summary of changes
- Make this test use multiple AZs -- this makes the storage controller's
scheduling reliably stable
Why this works: in #9916 , I made a simplifying assumption that we would
have multiple AZs to get nice stable scheduling -- it's much easier,
because each tenant has a well defined primary+secondary location when
they have an AZ preference and nodes have different AZs. Everything
still works if you don't have multiple AZs, but you just have this quirk
that sometimes the optimizer can disagree with initial scheduling, so
once in a while a shard moves after being created -- annoying for tests,
harmless IRL.
## Problem
All pageserver have the same application name which makes it hard to
distinguish them.
## Summary of changes
Include the node id in the application name sent to the safekeeper. This
should gives us
more visibility in logs. There's a few metrics that will increase in
cardinality by `pageserver_count`,
but that's fine.
## Problem
Node fills were limited to moving (total shards / node_count) shards. In
systems that aren't perfectly balanced already, that leads us to skip
migrating some of the shards that belong on this node, generating work
for the optimizer later to gradually move them back.
## Summary of changes
- Where a shard has a preferred AZ and is currently attached outside
this AZ, then always promote it during fill, irrespective of target fill
count
## Problem
We were comparing serialized configs from the database with serialized
configs from memory. If fields have been added/removed to TenantConfig,
this generates spurious consistency errors. This is fine in test
environments, but limits the usefulness of this debug API in the field.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10369
## Summary of changes
- Do a decode/encode cycle on the config before comparing it, so that it
will have exactly the expected fields.
## Problem
gc-compaction needs the partitioning data to decide the job split. This
refactor allows concurrent access/computing the partitioning.
## Summary of changes
Make `partitioning` an ArcSwap so that others can access the
partitioning while we compute it. Fully eliminate the `repartition is
called concurrently` warning when gc-compaction is going on.

Rename the safekeeper scheduling policy "disabled" to "pause".
A rename was requested in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10400#discussion_r1916259124,
as the "disabled" policy is meant to be analogous to the "pause" policy
for pageservers.
Also simplify the `SkSchedulingPolicyArg::from_str` function, relying on
the `from_str` implementation of `SkSchedulingPolicy`. Latter is used
for the database format as well, so it is quite stable. If we ever want
to change the UI, we'll need to duplicate the function again but this is
cheap.
## Problem
Threads spawned in `test_tenant_delete_races_timeline_creation` are not
joined before the test ends, and can generate
`PytestUnhandledThreadExceptionWarning` in other tests.
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-10419/12805365523/index.html#/testresult/53a72568acd04dbd
## Summary of changes
- Wrap threads in ThreadPoolExecutor which will join them before the
test ends
- Remove a spurious deletion call -- the background thread doing
deletion ought to succeed.
## Problem
When multiple changes are grouped in a merge group to be merged as part
of the merge queue, the changes might individually pass
`check-codestyle-rust` but not in their combined form.
## Summary of changes
- Move `check-codestyle-rust` into a reusable workflow that is called
from it's previous location in `build_and_test.yml`, and additionally
call it from `pre_merge_checks.yml`. The additional call does not run on
ARM, only x86, to ensure the merge queue continues being responsive.
- Trigger `pre_merge_checks.yml` on PRs that change any of the workflows
running in `pre_merge_checks.yml`, so that we get feedback on those
early an not only after trying to merge those changes.
This should fix the largest source of flakyness of
test_nbtree_pagesplit_cycleid.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10390
## Summary of changes
By using a guaranteed-flushed LSN, we ensure that PS won't have to wait
forever.
(If it does wait forever, we know the issue can't be with Compute's WAL)
## Problem
As part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8614 we need to
pass options to START_WAL_PUSH.
## Summary of changes
Add two options. `allow_timeline_creation`, default true, disables
implicit timeline creation in the connection from compute. Eventually
such creation will be forbidden completely, but as we migrate to
configurations we need to support both: current mode and configurations
enabled where creation by compute is disabled.
`proto_version` specifies compute <-> sk protocol version. We have it
currently in the first greeting package also, but I plan to change tag
size from u64 to u8, which would make it hard to use. Command is more
appropriate place for it anyway.
This reduces pressure on the OS TCP read buffer by increasing the
moments we read data out of the receive buffer, and increasing the
number of bytes we can pull from that buffer when we do reads.
## Problem
A backend may not always consume its prefetch data quick enough
## Summary of changes
We add a new function `prefetch_pump_state` which pulls as many prefetch
requests from the OS TCP receive buffer as possible, but without
blocking.
This thus reduces pressure on OS-level TCP buffers, thus increasing
throughput by limiting throttling caused by full TCP buffers.
## Problem
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9114
part of investigation of
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10049
## Summary of changes
* If `cfg!(test) or cfg!(feature = testing)`, then we will always try
generating an image to ensure the history is replayable, but not put the
image layer into the final layer results, therefore discovering wrong
key history before we hit a read error.
* I suspect it's easier to trigger some races if gc-compaction is
continuously run on a timeline, so I increased the frequency to twice
per 10 churns.
* Also, create branches in gc-compaction smoke tests to get more test
coverage.

Implementing the last missing endpoint of #9981, this adds support to
set the scheduling policy of an individual safekeeper, as specified in
the RFC. However, unlike in the RFC we call the endpoint
`scheduling_policy` not `status`
Closes#9981.
As for why not use the upsert endpoint for this: we want to have the
safekeeper upsert endpoint be used for testing and for deploying new
safekeepers, but not for changes of the scheduling policy. We don't want
to change any of the other fields when marking a safekeeper as
decommissioned for example, so we'd have to first fetch them only to
then specify them again. Of course one can also design an endpoint where
one can omit any field and it doesn't get modified, but it's still not
great for observability to put everything into one big "change something
about this safekeeper" endpoint.
## Problem
Safekeepers currently decode and interpret WAL for each shard
separately.
This is wasteful in terms of CPU memory usage - we've seen this in
profiles.
## Summary of changes
Fan-out interpreted WAL to multiple shards.
The basic is that wal decoding and interpretation happens in a separate
tokio task and senders
attach to it. Senders only receive batches concerning their shard and
only past the Lsn they've last seen.
Fan-out is gated behind the `wal_reader_fanout` safekeeper flag
(disabled by default for now).
When fan-out is enabled, it might be desirable to control the absolute
delta between the
current position and a new shard's desired position (i.e. how far behind
or ahead a shard may be).
`max_delta_for_fanout` is a new optional safekeeper flag which dictates
whether to create a new
WAL reader or attach to the existing one. By default, this behaviour is
disabled. Let's consider enabling
it if we spot the need for it in the field.
## Testing
Tests passed [here](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10301)
with wal reader fanout enabled

## Problem
Currently, we call `InterpretedWalRecord::from_bytes_filtered`

the API needs to allow for enquiring about multiple shards.
## Summary of changes
This commit tweaks it a pretty brute force way. Naively, we could
just generate the shard for a key, but pre and post split shards
may be subscribed at the same time, so doing it efficiently is more
complex.
## Problem

## Summary of changes
Add safekeeper membership configuration struct itself and storing it in

Remove obsolete unused PersistedPeerInfo struct from control file (still
keep it control_file_upgrade.rs to have it in old upgrade code).
Remove the binary representation of cfile in the roundtrip test.
Updating it is annoying, and we still test the actual roundtrip.
Also add configuration to timeline creation http request, currently used
only in one python test. In passing, slightly change LSNs meaning in the
request: normally start_lsn is passed (the same as ancestor_start_lsn in
similar pageserver call), but we allow specifying higher commit_lsn for
manual intervention if needed. Also when given LSN initialize
term_history with it.

## Problem
With upload queue reordering in #10218, we can easily get into a
situation where multiple index uploads are queued back to back, which
can't be parallelized. This will happen e.g. when multiple layer flushes
enqueue layer/index/layer/index/... and the layers skip the queue and
are uploaded in parallel.
These index uploads will incur serial S3 roundtrip latencies, and may
block later operations.
Touches #10096.
## Summary of changes
When multiple back-to-back index uploads are ready to upload, only
upload the most recent index and drop the rest.
## Problem
The upload queue can currently schedule an arbitrary number of tasks.
This can both spawn an unbounded number of Tokio tasks, and also
significantly slow down upload queue scheduling as it's quadratic in
number of operations.
Touches #10096.
## Summary of changes
Limit the number of inprogress tasks to the remote storage upload
concurrency. While this concurrency limit is shared across all tenants,
there's certainly no point in scheduling more than this -- we could even
consider setting the limit lower, but don't for now to avoid
artificially constraining tenants.
By setting PATH in the 'pg-build' layer, all the extension build layers
will inherit. No need to pass PG_CONFIG to all the various make
invocations either: once pg_config is in PATH, the Makefiles will pick
it up from there.
## Problem
The upload queue currently sees significant head-of-line blocking. For
example, index uploads act as upload barriers, and for every layer flush
we schedule a layer and index upload, which effectively serializes layer
uploads.
Resolves#10096.
## Summary of changes
Allow upload queue operations to bypass the queue if they don't conflict
with preceding operations, increasing parallelism.
NB: the upload queue currently schedules an explicit barrier after every
layer flush as well (see #8550). This must be removed to enable
parallelism. This will require a better mechanism for compaction
backpressure, see e.g. #8390 or #5415.
## Problem
Since https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9916, the preferred AZ
of a tenant is much more impactful, and we would like to make it more
visible in tooling.
## Summary of changes
- Include AZ in node describe API
- Include AZ info in node & tenant outputs in CLI
- Add metrics for per-node shard counts, labelled by AZ
- Add a CLI for setting preferred AZ on a tenant
- Extend AZ-setting API+CLI to handle None for clearing preferred AZ
## Problem
Before this PR, the pagestream throttle was applied weighted on a
per-batch basis.
This had several problems:
1. The throttle occurence counters were only bumped by `1` instead of
`batch_size`.
2. The throttle wait time aggregator metric only counted one wait time,
irrespective
of `batch_size`. That makes sense in some ways of looking at it but not
in others.
3. If the last request in the batch runs into the throttle, the other
requests in the
batch are also throttled, i.e., over-throttling happens (theoretical,
didn't measure
it in practice).
## Solution
It occured to me that we can simply push the throttling upwards into
`pagestream_read_message`.
This has the added benefit that in pipeline mode, the `executor` stage
will, if it is idle,
steal whatever requests already made it into the `spsc_fold` and execute
them; before this
change, that was not the case - the throttling happened in the
`executor` stage instead of
the `batcher` stage.
## Code Changes
There are two changes in this PR:
1. Lifting up the throttling into the `pagestream_read_message` method.
2. Move the throttling metrics out of the `Throttle` type into
`SmgrOpMetrics`.
Unlike the other smgr metrics, throttling is per-tenant, hence the Arc.
3. Refactor the `SmgrOpTimer` implementation to account for the new
observation states,
and simplify its design.
4. Drive-by-fix flush time metrics. It was using the same `now` in the
`observe_guard` every time.
The `SmgrOpTimer` is now a state machine.
Each observation point moves the state machine forward.
If a timer object is dropped early some "pair"-like metrics still
require an increment or observation.
That's done in the Drop implementation, by driving the state machine to
completion.
## Problem
Discovered during the relation dir refactor work.
If we do not create images as in this patch, we would get two set of
image layers:
```
0000...METADATA_KEYS
0000...REL_KEYS
```
They overlap at the same LSN and would cause data loss for relation
keys. This doesn't happen in prod because initial image layer generation
is never called, but better to be fixed to avoid future issues with the
reldir refactors.

* Consolidate create_image_layers call into a single one.

## Problem
We want to do a more robust job of scheduling tenants into their home
AZ: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8264.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8969
## Summary of changes
### Scope
This PR combines prioritizing AZ with a larger rework of how we do
optimisation. The rationale is that just bumping AZ in the order of
Score attributes is a very tiny change: the interesting part is lining
up all the optimisation logic to respect this properly, which means
rewriting it to use the same scores as the scheduler, rather than the
fragile hand-crafted logic that we had before. Separating these changes
out is possible, but would involve doing two rounds of test updates
instead of one.
### Scheduling optimisation
`TenantShard`'s `optimize_attachment` and `optimize_secondary` methods
now both use the scheduler to pick a new "favourite" location. Then
there is some refined logic for whether + how to migrate to it:
- To decide if a new location is sufficiently "better", we generate
scores using some projected ScheduleContexts that exclude the shard
under consideration, so that we avoid migrating from a node with
AffinityScore(2) to a node with AffinityScore(1), only to migrate back
later.
- Score types get a `for_optimization` method so that when we compare
scores, we will only do an optimisation if the scores differ by their
highest-ranking attributes, not just because one pageserver is lower in
utilization. Eventually we _will_ want a mode that does this, but doing
it here would make scheduling logic unstable and harder to test, and to
do this correctly one needs to know the size of the tenant that one is
migrating.
- When we find a new attached location that we would like to move to, we
will create a new secondary location there, even if we already had one
on some other node. This handles the case where we have a home AZ A, and
want to migrate the attachment between pageservers in that AZ while
retaining a secondary location in some other AZ as well.
- A unit test is added for
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8969, which is implicitly
fixed by reworking optimisation to use the same scheduling scores as
scheduling.
## Problem
In preparation to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9516. We
need to store rel size and directory data in the sparse keyspace, but it
does not support inheritance yet.
## Summary of changes
Add a new type of keyspace "sparse but inherited" into the system.
On the read path: we don't remove the key range when we descend into the
ancestor. The search will stop when (1) the full key range is covered by
image layers (which has already been implemented before), or (2) we
reach the end of the ancestor chain.

## Problem
Currently, if we want to move a secondary there isn't a neat way to do
that: we just have migration API for the attached location, and it is
only clean to use that if you've manually created a secondary via
pageserver API in the place you're going to move it to.
Secondary migration API enables:
- Moving the secondary somewhere because we would like to later move the
attached location there.
- Move the secondary location because we just want to reclaim some disk
space from its current location.
## Summary of changes
- Add `/migrate_secondary` API
- Add `tenant-shard-migrate-secondary` CLI
- Add tests for above
## Problem
We would sometimes fail to retry compute notifications:
1. Try and send, set compute_notify_failure if we can't
2. On next reconcile, reconcile() fails for some other reason (e.g.
tried to talk to an offline node), and we fail the `result.is_ok() &&
must_notify` condition around the re-sending.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22612
## Summary of changes
- Clarify the meaning of the reconcile result: it should be Ok(()) if
configuring attached location worked, even if secondary or detach
locations cannot be reached.
- Skip trying to talk to secondaries if they're offline
- Even if reconcile fails and we can't send the compute notification (we
can't send it because we're not sure if it's really attached), make sure
we save the `compute_notify_failure` flag so that subsequent reconciler

- Add a regression test for the above
Taking continuous profiles every 20 seconds is likely too expensive (in
dollar terms). Let's try 60-second profiles. We can now interrupt
running profiles via `?force=true`, so this should be fine.
For testing the proxy's websockets support.
I wrote this to test https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/3822.
Unfortunately, that bug can *not* be reproduced with this tunnel. The
bug only appears when the client pipelines the first query with the
authentication messages. The tunnel doesn't do that.

Update (@conradludgate 2025-01-10):
We have since added some websocket tests, but they manually implemented
a very simplistic setup of the postgres protocol. Introducing the tunnel
would make more complex testing simpler in the future.

## Problem
Limitations found while using this to investigate
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10234:
- If we hit a node consistency issue, we drop out and don't check shards
for consistency
- The messages printed after a shard consistency issue are huge, and
grafana appears to drop them.
## Summary of changes
- Defer node consistency errors until the end of the function, so that
we always proceed to check shards for consistency
- Print out smaller log lines that just point out the diffs between
expected and persistent state
With a new beta build of the rust compiler, it's good to check out the
new lints. Either to find false positives, or find flaws in our code.
Additionally, it helps reduce the effort required to update to 1.85 in 6
weeks.
## Problem
It's only possible to take one CPU profile at a time. With Grafana
continuous profiling, a (low-frequency) CPU profile will always be
running, making it hard to take an ad hoc CPU profile at the same time.
Resolves#10072.
## Summary of changes
Add a `force` parameter for `/profile/cpu` which will end and return an
already running CPU profile, starting a new one for the current caller.
## Problem
Currently, the heap profiling frequency is every 1 MB allocated. Taking
a profile stack trace takes about 1 µs, and allocating 1 MB takes about
15 µs, so the overhead is about 6.7% which is a bit high. This is a
fixed cost regardless of whether heap profiles are actually accessed.
## Summary of changes
Increase the heap profiling sample frequency from 1 MB to 2 MB, which
reduces the overhead to about 3.3%. This seems acceptable, considering
performance-sensitive code will avoid allocations as far as possible
anyway.
There used to be some pg version dependencies in these extensions, but
now that there isn't, follow the simpler pattern used in other
extensions. No change in the produced images.
We don't need or want the `active` column. Remove it. Vlad pointed out
that this is safe.
Thanks to the separation of the schemata in earlier PRs, this is easy.
follow-up of #10205
Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9981
When we moved throttling up from Timeline::get into page_service,
we stopped being sensitive to `Timeline::cancel`, even though we're
holding a Handle and thus a guard on the `Timeline::gate` open.
This PR rectifies the situation.
Refs
- Found while investigating #10309 (hung detach because gate kept open),
but not expected to be the root cause of that issue because the
affected tenants are not being throttled according to their metrics.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/infra/pull/2725 updated the scrubber to
use a non-host
port endpoint for storcon. That breaks when unwrapping the port.
## Summary of changes
Support both `host:port` and `host` formats for the storcon api.
## Problem
These two tests came up in #9537 as doing multi-gigabyte I/O, and from
inspection of the tests it doesn't seem like they need that to fulfil
their purpose.
## Summary of changes
- In test_local_file_cache_unlink, run fewer background threads with a
smaller number of rows. These background threads AFAICT exist to make
sure some I/O is going on while we unlink the LFC directory, but 5
threads should be enough for "some".
- In test_lfc_resize, tweak the test to validate that the cache size is
larger than the final size before resizing it, so that we're sure we're
writing enough data to really be doing something. Then decrease the
pgbench scale.
## Problem
When poetry v2 (released Jan 5) is used it needs `packaging.metadata`
module, but we downgrade `packaging` to 23.0. `packaging==23.1`
introduced the metadata submodule.
## Summary of changes
Update `packaging` to 24.2.
## Problem
This test writes ~5GB of data. It is not suitable to run in parallel
with all the other small tests in test_runner/regress.
via #9537
## Summary of changes
- Move test_parallel_copy into the performance directory, so that it
does not run in parallel with other tests
## Problem
I noticed in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9537 that tests
which work with compat snapshots were writing several hundred MB of
data, which isn't really necessary.
Also, the snapshots are large but don't have the proper variety of
storage format features, e.g. they could just have L0 deltas.
## Summary of changes
- Use smaller scale factor and runtime to generate less data
- Configure a small layer size and use force image layer generation so
that our output contains L1 deltas and image layers, and has a decent
number of entries in the layer map
## Problem
Unlike CPU profiles, the `/profile/heap` endpoint can't automatically
generate SVG flamegraphs. This requires the user to install and use
`pprof` tooling, which is unnecessary and annoying.
Resolves#10203.
## Summary of changes
Add `format=svg` for the `/profile/heap` route, and generate an SVG
flamegraph using the `inferno` crate, similarly to what `pprof-rs`
already does for CPU profiles.
# Problem
Before this PR, there were cases where send() in state
SenderWaitsForReceiverToConsume would never be woken up
by the receiver, because it never registered with `wake_sender`.
Example Scenario 1: we stop polling a send() future A that was waiting
for the receiver to consume. We drop A and create a new send() future B.
B would return Poll::Pending and never regsister a waker.
Example Scenario 2: a send() future A transitions from HasData
to SenderWaitsForReceiverToConsume. This registers the context X
with `wake_sender`. But before the Receiver consumes the data,
we poll A from a different context Y.
The state is still SenderWaitsForReceiverToConsume, but we wouldn't
register the new context with `wake_sender`.
When the Receiver comes around to consume and `wake_sender.notify()`s,
it wakes the old context X instead of Y.
# Fix
Register the waker in the case where we're polled in
state `SenderWaitsForReceiverToConsume`.
# Relation to #10309
I found this bug while investigating #10309.
There was never proof that this bug here is the root cause for #10309.
In the meantime we found a more probably hypothesis
for the root cause than what is being fixed here.
Regardless, let's walk through my thought process about
how it might have been relevant:
There (in page_service), Scenario 1 does not apply because
we poll the send() future to completion.
Scenario 2 (`tokio::join!`) also does not apply with the
current `tokio::join!()` impl, because it will just poll each
future every time, each with the same context.
Although if we ever used something like a FuturesUnordered anywhere,
that will be using a different context, so, in that case,
the bug might materialize.
Regarding tokio & spurious poll in general:
@conradludgate is not aware of any spurious wakeup cases in current
tokio,
but within a `tokio::join!()`, any wake meant for one future will poll
all
the futures, so that can appear as a spurious wake up to the N-1 futures
of the `tokio::join!()`.
## Problem
We were incorrectly constructing the ComputeUserInfo, used for
cancellation checks, based on the return parameters from postgres. This
didn't contain the correct info.
## Summary of changes
Propagate down the existing ComputeUserInfo.
## Problem
When the proxy receives a `Notification` with an unknown topic it's
supposed to use the `UnknownTopic` unit variant. Unfortunately, in
adjacently tagged enums serde will not simply ignore the configured
content if found and try to deserialize a map/object instead.
## Summary of changes
* Use a custom deserialize function to ignore variant content.
* Add a little unit test covering both cases.
## Problem
Auto-offloading as requested by the compaction task is racy with
unarchival, in that the compaction task might attempt to offload an
unarchived timeline. By that point it will already have set the timeline
to the `Stopping` state however, which makes it unusable for any
purpose. For example:
1. compaction task decides to offload timeline
2. timeline gets unarchived
3. `offload_timeline` gets called by compaction task
* sets timeline's state to `Stopping`
* realizes that the timeline can't be unarchived, errors out
6. endpoint can't be started as the timeline is `Stopping` and thus
'can't be found'.
A future iteration of the compaction task can't "heal" this state either
as the timeline will still not be archived, same goes for other
automatic stuff. The only way to heal this is a tenant detach+attach, or
alternatively a pageserver restart.
Furthermore, the compaction task is especially amenable for such races
as it first stores `can_offload` into a variable, figures out whether
compaction is needed (which takes some time), and only then does it
attempt an offload operation: the time difference between "check" and
"use" is non-trivially small.
To make it even worse, we start the compaction task right after attach
of a tenant, and it is a common pattern by pageserver users to attach a
tenant to then immediately unarchive a timeline, so that an endpoint can
be started.
## Solutions not adopted
The simplest solution is to move the `can_offload` check to right before
attempting of the offload. But this is not a good solution, as no lock
is held between that check and timeline shutdown. So races would still
be possible, just become less likely.
I explored using the timeline state for this, as in adding an additional
enum variant. But `Timeline::set_state` is racy (#10297).
## Adopted solution
We use the lock on the timeline's upload queue as an arbiter: either
unarchival gets to it first and sours the state for auto-offloading, or
auto-offloading shuts it down, which stops any parallel unarchival in
its tracks. The key part is not releasing the upload queue's lock
between the check whether the timeline is archived or not, and shutting
it down (the actual implementation only sets `shutting_down` but it has
the same effect on `initialized_mut()` as a full shutdown). The rest of
the patch is stuff that follows from this.
We also move the part where we set the state to `Stopping` to after that
arbiter has decided the fate of the timeline. For deletions, we do keep
it inside `DeleteTimelineFlow::prepare` however, so that it is called
with all of the the timelines locks held that the function allocates
(timelines lock most importantly). This is only a precautionary measure
however, as I didn't want to analyze deletion related code for possible
races.
## Future changes
It might make sense to move `can_offload` to right before the offload
attempt. Maybe some other properties might have changed as well.
Although this will not be perfect either as no lock is held. I want to
keep it out of this change to emphasize that this move wasn't the main
reason we are race free now.

This is a refactor to create better abstractions related to our
management server. It cleans up the code, and prepares everything for
authorized communication to and from the control plane.
Signed-off-by: Tristan Partin <tristan@neon.tech>
We keep the practice of keeping the compiler up to date, pointing to the
latest release. This is done by many other projects in the Rust
ecosystem as well.
[Release notes](https://releases.rs/docs/1.84.0/).
Prior update was in #9926.
## Problem
In Postgres, one cannot drop a role if it has any dependent objects in
the DB. In `compute_ctl`, we automatically reassign all dependent
objects in every DB to the corresponding DB owner. Yet, it seems that it
doesn't help with some implicit permissions. The issue is reproduced by
installing a `postgis` extension because it creates some views and
tables in the public schema.
## Summary of changes
Added a repro test without using a `postgis`: i) create a role via
`compute_ctl` (with `neon_superuser` grant); ii) create a test role, a
table in schema public, and grant permissions via the role in
`neon_superuser`.
To fix the issue, I added a new `compute_ctl` code that removes such
dangling permissions before dropping the role. It's done in the least
invasive way, i.e., only touches the schema public, because i) that's
the problem we had with PostGIS; ii) it creates a smaller chance of
messing anything up and getting a stuck operation again, just for a
different reason.
Properly, any API-based catalog operations should fail gracefully and
provide an actionable error and status code to the control plane,
allowing the latter to unwind the operation and propagate an error
message and hint to the user. In this sense, it's aligned with another
feature request https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21611Resolveneondatabase/cloud#13582
## Problem
Initially we defaulted this to zero to reduce risk. We have now been
using pooling in staging for some time without issues, so let's make it
the default for anyone using this software without setting the config
explicitly.

- Explicitly handle ApiError::ShuttingDown as a no-op when mutating node
status
## Problem
If for some reasons we already garbage-collected the data under an LSN
but the caller uses a past LSN for the find_time_cutoff function, now we
will report a missing key error and GC will never proceed.
Note that missing key error can also happen if the key is really missing
(i.e., during the past offload incidents)
## Summary of changes
Make sure GC proceeds by bumping the LSN. When time_cutoff=None, we will
not increase the time_cutoff (it will be set to latest_gc_cutoff). If we
really need to bump the GC LSN for maintenance purpose, we need a
separate API to do that.

## Problem
The filtered record metric doesn't make sense for interpreted ingest.
## Summary of changes
While of dubious utility in the first place, this patch replaces them
with records received and records observed metrics for interpreted
ingest:
* received records cause the pageserver to do _something_: write a key,
value pair to storage, update some metadata or flush pending
modifications
* observed records are a shard 0 concept and contain only key metadata
used in tracking relation sizes (received records include observed
records)

https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/18646
## Summary of changes
Before dropping the database, drop all the subscriptions in it.
Do not drop slot on publisher, because we have no guarantee that the
slot still exists or that the publisher is reachable.
Add `DropSubscriptionsForDeletedDatabases` phase to run these operations
in all databases, we're about to delete.
Ignore the error if the database does not exist.
## Problem
Typical deployments of neon have some tenants that stay in use
continuously, and a background churning population of tenants that are
created and then fall idle, and are configured to Detached state.
Currently, this churn of short lived tenants results in an
ever-increasing memory footprint.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9712
## Summary of changes
- At startup, filter to only load shards that don't have Detached policy
- In process_result, check if a tenant's shards are all Detached and
observed=={}, and if so drop them from memory
- In tenant_location_conf and other tenant mutators, load the tenants'
shards on-demand if they are not present
## Problem
The observed state removal may race with the inline updates of the
observed state done from `Service::node_activate_reconcile`.
This was intended to work as follows:
1. Detaches while the node is unavailable remove the entry from the
observed state.
2. `Service::node_activate_reconcile` diffs the locations returned
by the pageserver with the observed state and detaches in-line
when required.
## Summary of changes
This PR removes step (1) and lets background reconciliations
deal with the mismatch between the intent and observed state.
A follow up will attempt to remove `Service::node_activate_reconcile`
altogether.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10253
## Problem
Consider the pageserver is doing the following sequence of operations:
* upload X files
* update index_part to add X and remove Y
* delete Y files
When storage scrubber obtains the initial timeline snapshot before
"update index_part" (that is the old version that contains Y but not X),
and then obtains the index_part file after it gets updated, it will
report all Y files are missing.
## Summary of changes
Do not report layer file missing if index_part listed and downloaded are
not the same (i.e. different last_modified times)

parsing.
## Problem
`promote-images` was split into `promote-images-dev` and
`promote-images-prod` in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10267.
`dev` credentials were loaded in `promote-images-dev` and `prod`
credentials were loaded in `promote-images-prod`, but
`promote-images-prod` needs `dev` credentials as well to access the
`dev` images to replicate them from `dev` to `prod`.

Apparently, we failed to do this bookkeeping in quite a few places...
## Problem

## Summary of changes
Add accounting of dropped requests. Note that this includes prefetches
dropped due to things like "PS connection dropped unexpectedly" or
"prefetch queue is already full", but *not* (yet?) "dropped due to
backend shutdown".
## Problem
`trigger-e2e-tests` waits half an hour before starting to run. Nearly
half of that time can be saved by promoting images before tests on them
are complete, so the e2e tests can run in parallel.
On `main` and `release{,-proxy,-compute}`, `promote-images` updates
`latest` and pushes things to prod ecr, so we want to run
`promote-images` only after `test-images` is done, but on other
branches, there is no harm in promoting images that aren't tested yet.
## Summary of changes
To promote images into dev container registries sooner, `promote-images`
is split into `promote-images-dev` and `promote-images-prod`. The former
pushes to dev container registries, the latter to prod ones. The latter
also waits for `test-images`, while the former doesn't. This allows to
run `trigger-e2e-tests` sooner.
Using `min(0, ...)` causes us to fail to wait in most situations, so a
lack of data would be a hot wait loop, which is bad.

## Problem
Frame pointers are typically disabled by default (depending on CPU
architecture), to improve performance. This frees up a CPU register, and
avoids a couple of instructions per function call. However, it makes
stack unwinding much more inefficient, since it has to use DWARF debug
information instead, and gives worse results with e.g. `perf` and eBPF
profiles. The `backtrace` implementation of `libunwind` is also
suspected to cause seg faults.
The performance benefit of frame pointer omission doesn't appear to
matter that much on modern 64-bit CPU architectures (which have plenty
of registers and optimized instruction execution), and benchmarks did
not show measurable overhead.
The Rust standard library and jemalloc already enable frame pointers by
default.
For more information, see
https://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2024-03-17/the-return-of-the-frame-pointers.html.

## Summary of changes
Enable frame pointers in all builds, and use frame pointers for pprof-rs
stack sampling.
## Problem
Before the holidays, and just before our code freeze, a change to cplane
was made that started publishing the topics from #10197. This triggered
our alerts and put us in a sticky situation as it was not an error, and
we didn't want to silence the alert for the entire holidays, and we
didn't want to release proxy 2 days in a row if it was not essential.
We fixed it eventually by rewriting the alert based on logs, but this is
not a good solution.
## Summary of changes
Introduces an intermediate parsing step to check the topic name first,
to allow us to ignore parsing errors for any topics we do not know
about.
## Problem
We are chasing down segfaults in the storage controller
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21010
This is for use by the storage controller, which links dynamically with
`libpq`. We currently use the neon-built libpq, but this may be unsafe
for use from multi-threaded programs like the controller, as it uses a
statically linked openssl
Precursor to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10258
## Summary of changes
- Include `postgresql-15` in container builds.
The reason for using version 15 is simply because that is what's
available in Debian 12 without adding any extra repositories, and we
don't have any special need for latest version in our libpq usage.
## Problem
It's not legal to modify layers that are referenced by the current layer
index. Assert this in the upload queue, as preparation for upload queue
reordering.

Add a debug assertion that the upload queue does not modify layers
referenced by the current index.
I could be convinced that this should be a plain assertion, but will be
conservative for now.
## Problem
Since enabling continuous profiling in staging, we've seen frequent seg
faults. This is suspected to be because jemalloc and pprof-rs take a
stack trace at the same time, and the handlers aren't signal safe.
jemalloc does this probabilistically on every allocation, regardless of
whether someone is taking a heap profile, which means that any CPU
profile has a chance to cause a seg fault.
Touches #10225.
## Summary of changes
For now, just disable heap profiles -- CPU profiles are more important,
and we need to be able to take them without risking a crash.

There is a race condition between `Tenant::shutdown`'s `defuse_for_drop`
loop and `offload_timeline`, where timeline offloading can insert into a
tenant that is in the process of shutting down, in fact so far
progressed that the `defuse_for_drop` has already been called.
This prevents warn log lines of the form:
```
offloaded timeline <hash> was dropped without having cleaned it up at the ancestor
```
The solution piggybacks on the `offloaded_timelines` lock: both the
defuse loop and the offloaded timeline insertion need to acquire the
lock, and we know that the defuse loop only runs after the tenant has
set its `TenantState` to `Stopping`.
So if we hold the `offloaded_timelines` lock, and know that the
`TenantState` is not `Stopping`, then we know that the defuse loop has
not ran yet, and holding the lock ensures that it doesn't start running
while we are inserting the offloaded timeline.
Fixes#10070
## Problem
When we do a timeline CRUD operation, we check that the shards we need
to mutate are currently attached to a pageserver, by reading
`generation` and `generation_pageserver` from the database.
If any don't appear to be attached, we respond with a a 503 and "One or
more shards in tenant is not yet attached".
This is happening more often than expected, and it's not obvious with
current logging what's going on: specifically which shard has a problem,
and exactly what we're seeing in these persistent generation columns.
(Aside: it's possible that we broke something with the change in #10011
which clears generation_pageserver when we detach a shard, although if
so the mechanism isn't trivial: what should happen is that if we stamp
on generation_pageserver if a reconciler is running, then it shouldn't
matter because we're about to

## Problem
We see periodic failures in `test_scrubber_physical_gc_ancestors`, where
the logs show that the pageserver is creating image layers that should
cause child shards to no longer reference their parents' layers, but
then the scrubber runs and doesn't find any unreferenced layers.[

From inspecting the code & test, it seems like this could be as simple
as the test failing to wait for uploads before running the scrubber. It
had a 2 second delay built in to satisfy the scrubbers time threshold
checks, which on a lightly loaded machine would also have been easily
enough for uploads to complete, but our test machines are more heavily
loaded all the time.
## Summary of changes
- Wait for uploads to complete after generating images layers in
test_scrubber_physical_gc_ancestors, so that the scrubber should
reliably see the post-compaction metadata.
## Problem
Versions of `diesel` and `pq-sys` were somewhat stale. I was checking on
libpq->openssl versions while investigating a segfault via
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21010. I don't think these
rust bindings are likely to be the source of issues, but we might as
well freshen them as a precaution.
## Summary of changes
- Update diesel to 2.2.6
- Update pq-sys to 0.6.3
There was no value in saving them off to temporary variables.

## Problem
When we manually override the LFC size for particular computes,
autoscaling will typically undo that because vm-monitor will resize LFC
itself.
So, we'd like a way to make vm-monitor not set LFC size — this actually
already exists, if we just don't give vm-monitor a postgres connection
string.
## Summary of changes
Add a new field to the compute spec, `disable_lfc_resizing`. When set to
`true`, we pass in `None` for its postgres connection string. That
matches the configuration tested in `neondatabase/autoscaling` CI.
## Problem
Building local_proxy and compute_tools features the same dependency

progress is wasted. For our arm builds that's an extra 10 minutes.

## Problem
Running clippy with `cargo hack --feature-powerset` in CI isn't
particularly fast. This PR follows-up on
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8912 to improve the speed of
our clippy runs.
Parallelism as suggested in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9901 was tested, but didn't
show consistent enough improvements to be worth it. It actually
increased the amount of work done, as there's less cache hits when
clippy runs are spread out over multiple target directories.
Additionally, parallelism makes it so caching needs to be thought about
more actively and copying around target directories to enable
parallelism eats the rest of the performance gains from parallel
execution.
After some discussion, the decision was to instead cut down on the
number of jobs that are running further. The easiest way to do this is
to not run clippy *without* default features. The list of default
features is empty for all crates, and I haven't found anything using
`cfg(feature = "default")` either, so this is likely not going to change
anything except speeding the runs up.
## Summary of changes
Reduce the amount of feature combinations tried by `cargo hack` (as
suggested in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8912#pullrequestreview-2286482368)
by never disabling default features.
## Alternatives
- We can split things out into different jobs which reduces the time
until everything is finished by running more things in parallel. This
does however decreases the amount of cache hits and increases the amount
of time spent on overhead tasks like repo cloning and restoring caches
by doing those multiple times instead of once.
- We could replace `cargo hack [...] clippy` with `cargo clippy [...];
cargo clippy --features testing`. I'm not 100% sure how this compares to
the change here in the PR, but it does seem to run a bit faster. That
likely means it's doing less work, but without understanding what
exactly we loose by that I'd rather not do that for now. I'd appreciate
input on this though.
Now that we construct the TLS client config for cancellation as well as
connect, it feels appropriate to construct the same config once and
re-use it elsewhere. It might also help should #7500 require any extra
setup, so we can easily add it to all the appropriate call sites.
In #10207 it was clear there was some confusion with the current
connection logic. To analyse the flow to make sure there was no poll
stalling, I ended up with the following refactor.
Notable changes:
1. Now all functions called `poll_xyz` and that have a `cx: &mut
Context` argument must return a `Poll<_>` type, and can only return
`Pending` iff an internal poll call also returned `Pending`
2. State management is handled entirely by `poll_messages`. There are
now only 2 states which makes it much easier to keep track of.
Each commit should be self-reviewable and should be simple to verify
that it keeps the same behaviour
## Problem
Currently default value of storage controller heartbeat interval is
100msec. It means that 10 times per second it establish connection to
PS. And it seems to be quite expensive.
At MacOS right now storage_controller consumes 70% CPU and trusts - 30%.
So together they completely utilize one core.
A lot of us has Macs. Let's save environment a little bit and do not
waste electricity and contribute to global warming.
By the way, on prod we have interval 10seconds
## Summary of changes
Increase heartbeat interval from 100msec to 1 second.

## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9897 we temporarily
disabled the layer valid check because the current one only considers
the end result of all compaction algorithms, but partial gc-compaction
would temporarily produce an "invalid" layer map.
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9114
## Summary of changes
Allow LSN splits to overlap in the slow path check. Currently, the valid
check is only used in storage scrubber (background job) and during
gc-compaction (without taking layer lock). Therefore, it's fine for such
checks to be a little bit inefficient but more accurate.

## Problem
Safekeeper may currently send a batch to the pageserver even if it
hasn't decoded a new record.
I think this is quite unlikely in the field, but worth adressing.
## Summary of changes
Don't send anything if we haven't decoded a full record. Once this
merges and releases, the `InterpretedWalRecords` struct can be updated
to remove the Option wrapper for `next_record_lsn`.
## Problem
The benchmarking utilities are also useful for testing. We want to write
tests in the safekeeper crate.
## Summary of changes
This commit lifts the utils to the safekeeper crate. They are compiled
if the benchmarking features is enabled or if in test mode.
## Problem
test_timeline_archival_chaos does timeline creation with failure
injection, and thereby sometimes leaves timelines in a part created
state. This was being reported as corruption by the scrubber on test
teardown, because it considered a layer without an index to be an
invalid state. This was incorrect: the scrubber should accept this
state, it occurs legitimately during timeline creation.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9988
## Summary of changes
- Report a timeline with layers but no index as Relic rather than
MissingIndexPart.
- We retain the MissingIndexPart variant for the case where an index
_was_ found in the listing, but was not found by a subsequent GET, i.e.
racing with deletion.
## Problem
`test_pgdata_import_smoke` writes two gigabytes of pages and then reads
them back serially. This is CPU bottlenecked and results in a long
runtime, and sensitivity to CPU load from other tests on the same
machine.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10071
## Summary of changes
- Use effective_io_concurrency=32 when doing sequential scans through
2GiB of pages in test_pgdata_import_smoke. This is a ~10x runtime
decrease in the parts of the test that do sequential scans.
- Also set `effective_io_concurrency=2` for tests, as I noticed while
debugging that we were doing all getpage requests serially, which is bad
for checking the stability of the batching code.
## Problem
We want to verify how much / if pgbench throughput and latency on Neon
suffers if the database contains many other relations, too.
## Summary of changes
Modify the benchmarking.yml pgbench-compare job to
- create an addiitional project at scale factor 10 GiB
- before running pgbench add n tables (initially 10k) to the database
- then compare the pgbench throughput and latency to the existing
pgbench-compare at 10 Gib scale factor
We use a realistic template for the n relations that is a partitioned
table with some realistic data types, indexes and constraints - similar
to a table that we use internally.

## Problem
`neon_local` has always been unsafe to run concurrently with itself: it
uses simple text files for persistent state, and concurrent runs will
step on each other.
In some test environments we intentionally handle this with mutexes in
python land, but it's fragile to try and always remember to do that.
## Summary of changes
- Add a `flock` based mutex around the `main` function of neon_local,
using the repo directory as the file to lock
- Clean up an Option<> around control_plane_api, this is a drive-by
change because it was one of the fields that had a weird effect when
previous concurrent stuff stamped on it.

## Summary of changes

## Problem
It is unreliable for the control plane to infer the AZ for computes from
where the tenant is currently attached, because if a tenant happens to
be in a degraded state or a release is ongoing while a compute starts,
then the tenant's attached AZ can be a different one to where it will
run long-term, and the control plane doesn't check back later to restart
the compute.
This can land in parallel with
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9947
## Summary of changes
- Thread through the preferred AZ into the compute hook code via the
reconciler
- Include the preferred AZ in the body of compute hook notifications
## Problem
Jemalloc heap profiles aren't symbolized. This is inconvenient, and
doesn't work with Grafana Cloud Profiles.
Resolves#9964.
## Summary of changes
Symbolize the heap profiles in-process, and strip unnecessary cruft.
This uses about 100 MB additional memory to cache the DWARF information,
but I believe this is already the case with CPU profiles, which use the
same library for symbolization. With cached DWARF information, the
symbolization CPU overhead is negligible.
Example profiles:
*
[pageserver.pb.gz](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/18141395/pageserver.pb.gz)
*
[safekeeper.pb.gz](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/18141396/safekeeper.pb.gz)

The ABS SDK's default behavior is to do no connection pooling, i.e. open

As the title says, I updated the lint rules to no longer allow unwrap or
unimplemented.
Three special cases:
* Tests are allowed to use them
* std::sync::Mutex lock().unwrap() is common because it's usually
correct to continue panicking on poison
* `tokio::spawn_blocking(...).await.unwrap()` is common because it will
only error if the blocking fn panics, so continuing the panic is also
correct
I've introduced two extension traits to help with these last two, that
are a bit more explicit so they don't need an expect message every time.
## Problem
We've had similar test in test_logical_replication, but then removed it

## Problem

## Summary of changes

## Problem
While reviewing #10152 I found it tricky to actually determine whether
the connection used `allow_self_signed_compute` or not.
I've tried to remove this setting in the past:
* https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7884
* https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7437
* https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/pull/13702
But each time it seems it is used by e2e tests
## Summary of changes
The `node_info.allow_self_signed_computes` is always initialised to
false, and then sometimes inherits the proxy config value. There's no
need this needs to be in the node_info, so removing it and propagating
it via `TcpMechansim` is simpler.
## Problem
Changes in #9786 were functionally complete but missed some edges that
made testing less robust than it should have been:
- `is_key_disposable` didn't consider SLRU dir keys disposable
- Timeline `init_empty` was always creating SLRU dir keys on all shards
The result was that when we had a bug
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10080), it wasn't apparent in
tests, because one would only encounter the issue if running on a
long-lived timeline with enough compaction to drop the initially created
empty SLRU dir keys, _and_ some CLog truncation going on.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21516
## Summary of changes
- Update is_key_global and init_empty to handle SLRU dir keys properly
-- the only functional impact is that we avoid writing some spurious
keys in shards >0, but this makes testing much more robust.
- Make `test_clog_truncate` explicitly use a sharded tenant
The net result is that if one reverts #10080, then tests fail (i.e. this
PR is a reproducer for the issue)
## Problem
In #8550, we made the flush loop wait for uploads after every layer.
This was to avoid unbounded buildup of uploads, and to reduce compaction
debt. However, the approach has several problems:
* It prevents upload parallelism.
* It prevents flush and upload pipelining.
* It slows down ingestion even when there is no need to backpressure.
* It does not directly backpressure WAL ingestion (only via
`disk_consistent_lsn`), and will build up in-memory layers.
* It does not directly backpressure based on compaction debt and read
amplification.
An alternative solution to these problems is proposed in #8390.
In the meanwhile, we revert the change to reduce the impact on ingest
throughput. This does reintroduce some risk of unbounded
upload/compaction buildup. Until
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8390, this can be addressed
in other ways:
* Use `max_replication_apply_lag` (aka `remote_consistent_lsn`), which
will more directly limit upload debt.
* Shard the tenant, which will spread the flush/upload work across more
Pageservers and move the bottleneck to Safekeeper.
Touches #10095.
## Summary of changes
Remove waiting on the upload queue in the flush loop.

## Summary of changes

## Problem
When we update our scheduler/optimization code to respect AZs properly
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9916), the choice of AZ
becomes a much higher-stakes decision. We will pretty much always run a
tenant in its preferred AZ, and that AZ is fixed for the lifetime of the
tenant (unless a human intervenes)
Eventually, when we do auto-balancing based on utilization, I anticipate
that part of that will be to automatically change the AZ of tenants if
our original scheduling decisions have caused imbalance, but as an
interim measure, we can at least avoid making this scheduling decision
based purely on which AZ contains the emptiest node.
This is a precursor to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9947
## Summary of changes
- When creating a tenant, instead of scheduling a shard and then reading
its preferred AZ back, make the AZ decision first.
- Instead of choosing AZ based on which node is emptiest, use the median
utilization of nodes in each AZ to pick the AZ to use. This avoids bad
AZ decisions during periods when some node has very low utilization
(such as after replacing a dead node)
I considered also making the selection a weighted pseudo-random choice
based on utilization, but wanted to avoid destabilising tests with that
for now.

## Summary of changes
Bump the timeout to 10 minutes (test reports indicate 7 minutes is

We don't want to disable the test entirely in debug builds, to exercise
this with debug assertions enabled.
Resolves#10069.
This adds some validation of invariants that we want to uphold wrt the
tenant manifest and `index_part.json`:
* the data the manifest has about a timeline must match with the data in
`index_part.json`. It might actually change, e.g. when we do reparenting
during detach ancestor, but that requires the timeline to be
unoffloaded, i.e. removed from the manifest.
* any timeline mentioned in index part, must, if present, be archived.
If we unarchive, we first update the tenant manifest to unoffload, and
only then update index part. And one needs to archive before offloading.
* it is legal for timelines to be mentioned in the manifest but have no
`index_part`: this is a temporary state visible during deletion of the
timeline. if the pageserver crashed, an attach of the tenant will clean
the state up.
* it is also legal for offloaded timelines to have an
`ancestor_retain_lsn` of None while having an `ancestor_timeline_id`.
This is for the to-be-added flattening functionality: the plan is to set
former to None if we have flattened a timeline.

## Problem
Cplane and storage controller tenant config changes are not additive.
Any change overrides all existing tenant configs. This would be fine if
both did client side patching, but that's not the case.
Once this merges, we must update cplane to use the PATCH endpoint.
## Summary of changes
### High Level
Allow for patching of tenant configuration with a `PATCH
/v1/tenant/config` endpoint.
It takes the same data as it's PUT counterpart. For example the payload
below will update `gc_period` and unset `compaction_period`. All other
fields are left in their original state.
```
{
"tenant_id": "1234",
"gc_period": "10s",
"compaction_period": null
}
```
### Low Level

- fix the metric setting: use set() instead of inc() in a loop.
inc() is not idempotent and can lead to incorrect results

- fix the return type of the installed_extensions endpoint

## Problem
Linking walproposer library (e.g. `cargo t`) produces linker errors:
/home/myrrc/neon/pgxn/neon/walproposer_compat.c:169: undefined reference
to `pg_snprintf'
The library with these symbols (libpgcommon.a) is present
## Summary of changes
Changed order of libraries resolution for linker
## Problem
We added support for LFC for tests but are still using it only for the
PG17 release.
## Summary of changes
LFC is enabled for all PG versions. Errors in tests with LFC enabled now
block merging as usual. We keep tests with disabled LFC for PG17
release. Tests on debug builds with LFC enabled still don't affect
permission to merge.
## Problem
If the control plane cannot be reached for some reason, compute_ctl
panics
## Summary of changes
panic is removed in favour of returning an error.
Code is reformatted a bit for more flat control flow
Resolves: #5391
## Problem
We get slru truncation commands on non-zero shards.
Compaction will drop the slru dir keys and ingest will fail when
receiving such records.
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10080 fixed it for clog, but
not for multixact.
## Summary of changes
Only truncate multixact slrus on shard zero. I audited the rest of the
ingest code and it looks
fine from this pov.
## Problem
With pipelining enabled, the time a request spends in the batcher stage
counts towards the smgr op latency.
If pipelining is disabled, that time is not accounted for.
In practice, this results in a jump in smgr getpage latencies in various
dashboards and degrades the internal SLO.
## Solution
In a similar vein to #10042 and with a similar rationale, this PR stops
counting the time spent in batcher stage towards smgr op latency.
The smgr op latency metric is reduced to the actual execution time.
Time spent in batcher stage is tracked in a separate histogram.
I expect to remove that histogram after batching rollout is complete,
but it will be helpful in the meantime to reason about the rollout.
## Problem
Protobuf doesn't support 128 bit integers, so we encode the keys as two
64 bit integers. Issue is that when we split the 128 bit compact key we
use signed 64 bit integers to represent the two halves. This may result
in a negative lower half when relnode is larger than `0x00800000`. When
we convert the lower half to an i128 we get a negative `CompactKey`.
## Summary of Changes
Use unsigned integers when encoding into Protobuf.
## Deployment
* Prod: We disabled the interpreted proto, so no compat concerns.
* Staging: Disable the interpreted proto, do one release, and then
release the fixed version.
We do this because a negative int32 will convert to a large uint32 value
and could give
a key in the actual pageserver space. In production we would around this
by adding new
fields to the proto and deprecating the old ones, but we can make our
lives easy here.
* Pre-prod: Same as staging

## Problem
When dev deployments are disabled (or fail), the tags for releases
aren't created. It makes more sense to have tag and release creation
before the deployment to prevent situations like
[this](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9959).
It is not enough to move the tag creation before the deployment. If the
deployment fails, re-running the job isn't possible because the API call
to create the tag will fail.
## Summary of changes
- Tag/Release creation now happens before the deployment
- The two steps for tag and release have been merged into a bigger one
- There's new checks to ensure the that if the tags/releases already
exist as expected, things will continue just fine.
## Problem
In #9786 we stop storing SLRUs on non-zero shards.
However, there was one code path during ingest that still tries to
enumerate SLRU relations on all shards. This fails if it sees a tenant
who has never seen any write to an SLRU, or who has done such thorough
compaction+GC that it has dropped its SLRU directory key.
## Summary of changes
- Avoid trying to list SLRU relations on nonzero shards
Neon doesn't have seqscan detection of its own, so stop read_stream from
trying to utilize that readahead, and instead make it issue readahead of
its own.
## Problem
@knizhnik noticed that we didn't issue smgrprefetch[v] calls for
seqscans in PG17 due to the move to the read_stream API, which assumes
that the underlying IO facilities do seqscan detection for readahead.
That is a wrong assumption when Neon is involved, so let's remove the
code that applies that assumption.
## Summary of changes
Remove the cases where seqscans are detected and prefetch is disabled as
a consequence, and instead don't do that detection.

In this patch, we decided to keep the current cutoff instead of moving
back the gc_info to avoid races. In the future, we could allow the
planned gc cutoff to go back once cplane sends a retention_history

Azure has a different per-request limit of 256 items for bulk deletion
compared to the number of 1000 on AWS. Therefore, we need to support
multiple values. Due to `GenericRemoteStorage`, we can't add an
associated constant, but it has to be a function.
The PR replaces the `MAX_KEYS_PER_DELETE` constant with a function of
the same name, implemented on both the `RemoteStorage` trait as well as
on `GenericRemoteStorage`.
The value serves as hint of how many objects to pass to the
`delete_objects` function.

Part of #7931
Hello! I was interested in potentially making some contributions to Neon
and looking through the issue backlog I found
[8200](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8200) which seemed
like a good first issue to attempt to tackle. I see it was assigned a
while ago so apologies if I'm stepping on any toes with this PR. I also
apologize for the size of this PR. I'm not sure if there is a simple way
to reduce it given the footprint of the components being changed.
## Problem
This PR is attempting to address part of the problem outlined in issue
[8200](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8200). Namely to
remove global static usage of timeline state in favour of
`Arc<GlobalTimelines>` and to replace wasteful clones of
`SafeKeeperConf` with `Arc<SafeKeeperConf>`. I did not opt to tackle
`RemoteStorage` in this PR to minimize the amount of changes as this PR
is already quite large. I also did not opt to introduce an
`SafekeeperApp` wrapper struct to similarly minimize changes but I can
tackle either or both of these omissions in this PR if folks would like.
## Summary of changes
- Remove static usage of `GlobalTimelines` in favour of
`Arc<GlobalTimelines>`
- Wrap `SafeKeeperConf` in `Arc` to avoid wasteful clones of the
underlying struct
## Some additional thoughts
- We seem to currently store `SafeKeeperConf` in `GlobalTimelines` and
then expose it through a public`get_global_config` function which
requires locking. This seems needlessly wasteful and based on observed
usage we could remove this public accessor and force consumers to
acquire `SafeKeeperConf` through the new Arc reference.

The legacy gc process calls `get_latest_gc_cutoff`, which uses a Rcu
different than the gc_info struct. In the gc_compaction_smoke test case,
the "latest" cutoff could be lower than the gc_info struct, causing
gc-compaction to collect data that could be accessed by
`latest_gc_cutoff`. Technically speaking, there's nothing wrong with
gc-compaction using gc_info without considering latest_gc_cutoff,
because gc_info is the source of truth. But anyways, let's fix it.
## Summary of changes
* gc-compaction uses `latest_gc_cutoff` instead of gc_info to determine
the gc horizon.
* if a gc-compaction is scheduled via tenant compaction iteration, it
will take the gc_block lock to avoid racing with functionalities like
detach ancestor (if it's triggered via manual compaction API without
scheduling, then it won't take the lock)

## Problem
Currently, we run the `pg_regress` tests only for PG16
However, PG17 is a part of Neon and should be tested as well
## Summary of changes
Modified the workflow and added a patch for PG17 enabling the
`pg_regress` tests.
The problem with leftovers was solved by using branches.
For a while already, we've been unable to update the Azure SDK crates
due to Azure adopting use of a non-tokio async runtime, see #7545.
The effort to upstream the fix got stalled, and I think it's better to
switch to a patched version of the SDK that is up to date.
Now we have a fork of the SDK under the neondatabase github org, to
which I have applied Conrad's rebased patches to:
https://github.com/neondatabase/azure-sdk-for-rust/tree/neon .
The existence of a fork will also help with shipping bulk delete support
before it's upstreamed (#7931).
Also, in related news, the Azure SDK has gotten a rift in development,
where the main branch pertains to a future, to-be-officially-blessed
release of the SDK, and the older versions, which we are currently
using, are on the `legacy` branch. Upstream doesn't really want patches
for the `legacy` branch any more, they want to focus on the `main`
efforts. However, even then, the `legacy` branch is still newer than
what we are having right now, so let's switch to `legacy` for now.
Depending on how long it takes, we can switch to the official version of
the SDK once it's released or switch to the upstream `main` branch if
there is changes we want before that.
As a nice side effect of this PR, we now use reqwest 0.12 everywhere,
dropping the dependency on version 0.11.
Fixes#7545
Result of running:
cargo update -p aws-types -p aws-sigv4 -p aws-credential-types -p
aws-smithy-types -p aws-smithy-async -p aws-sdk-kms -p aws-sdk-iam -p

We want to keep the AWS SDK up to date as that way we benefit from new
developments and improvements.
## Problem
We saw a tenant get stuck when it had been put into Pause scheduling
mode to pin it to a pageserver, then it was left idle for a while and
the control plane tried to detach it.
Close: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9957
## Summary of changes
- When changing policy to Detached or Secondary, set the scheduling
policy to Active.
- Add a test that exercises this
- When persisting tenant shards, set their `generation_pageserver` to
null if the placement policy is not Attached (this enables consistency
checks to work, and avoids leaving state in the DB that could be
confusing/misleading in future)
## Problem
In #9962 I changed the smgr metrics to include time spent on flush.
It isn't under our (=storage team's) control how long that flush takes
because the client can stop reading requests.
## Summary of changes
Stop the timer as soon as we've buffered up the response in the
`pgb_writer`.
Track flush time in a separate metric.

If the pageserver connection is lost while receiving the prefetch
request, the prefetch queue is cleared. The error message prints the
values from the prefetch slot, but because the slot was already cleared,
they're all zeros:
LOG: [NEON_SMGR] [shard 0] No response from reading prefetch entry 0:
0/0/0.0 block 0. This can be caused by a concurrent disconnect
To fix, make local copies of the values.
In the passing, also add a sanity check that if the receive() call
succeeds, the prefetch slot is still intact.

the internal `compute_ctl` code.
3. Add control plane (and compute) to `/libs/compute_api` because that's

Noticed this while debugging a test failure in #8673 which only occurs

`AWS_PROFILE`, then it requires the `HOME` env var to be set so that it
can read inside the `~/.aws` directory.

Disable create tablespace stmt. It turns out it requires much less
effort to do the regress test mode flag than patching the test cases,
and given that we might need to support tablespaces in the future, I

create tablespace.
Tested manually that without setting regress_test_mode, create
tablespace will be rejected.

This reverts #8076 - which was already reverted from the release branch
since forever (it would have been a breaking change to release for all
users who currently set TimeZone options). It's causing conflicts now so
we should revert it here as well.
## Problem
Latency from one cloud provider to another one is higher than within the
same cloud provider.
Some of our benchmarks are latency sensitive - we run a pgbench or psql
in the github action runner and the system under test is running in Neon
(database project).
For realistic perf tps and latency results we need to compare apples to
apples and run the database client in the same "latency distance" for
all tests.
## Summary of changes

action runners.

- pgvector strategy variant using azure database
- pgbench-compare strategy variants using azure database

## Problem
We're adding more third party dependencies to support more diverse +
realistic test cases in `test_runner/logical_repl`. I ❤️ these
tests, they are a good thing.
The slight glitch is that python packaging is hard, and some third party
python packages have issues. For example the current kafka dependency
doesn't work on latest python. We can mitigate that by only importing
these more specialized dependencies in the tests that use them.
## Summary of changes
- Move the `kafka` import into a test body, so that folks running the
regular `test_runner/regress` tests don't have to have a working kafka
client package.
## Problem
This code was to mitigate risk in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8427
As expected, we did not hit this code path - the new continuous updates
of gc_info are working fine, we can remove this code now.
## Summary of changes
- Remove block that double-checks retain_lsns
avoid "leaking" the completions of BackgroundPurges by:
1. switching it to TaskTracker for provided close+wait
2. stop using tokio::fs::remove_dir_all which will consume two units of
memory instead of one blocking task
Additionally, use more graceful shutdown in tests which do actually some
background cleanup.

## Problem
Some developers build on MacOS, which doesn't have io_uring.
## Summary of changes
- Add `io_engine_for_bench`, which on linux will give io_uring or panic
if it's unavailable, and on MacOS will always panic.
We do not want to run such benchmarks with StdFs: the results aren't
interesting, and will actively waste the time of any developers who
start investigating performance before they realize they're using a
known-slow I/O backend.
Why not just conditionally compile this benchmark on linux only? Because
even on linux, I still want it to refuse to run if it can't get
io_uring.

Add pageserver config for evaluating/enabling direct I/O.

- Enabled: uses direct io, behavior on alignment error is configurable.

Earlier I was thinking we'd need a (ancestor_lsn, timeline_id) ordered
list of reparented. Turns out we did not need it at all. Replace it with
an unordered hashset. Additionally refactor the reparented direct
children query out, it will later be used from more places.

Ephemeral files cleanup on drop but did not delay shutdown, leading to
problems with restarting the tenant. The solution is as proposed:
- make ephemeral files carry the gate guard to delay `Timeline::gate`
closing
- flush in-memory layers and strong references to those on
`Timeline::shutdown`
The above are realized by making LayerManager an `enum` with `Open` and
`Closed` variants, and fail requests to modify `LayerMap`.
Additionally:
- fix too eager anyhow conversions in compaction
- unify how we freeze layers and handle errors
- optimize likely_resident_layers to read LayerFileManager hashmap
values instead of bouncing through LayerMap
Fixes: #7830
## Problem
1. Hard to correlate startup parameters with the endpoint that provided
them.
2. Some configurations are not needed in the `ProxyConfig` struct.
## Summary of changes
Because of some borrow checker fun, I needed to switch to an
interior-mutability implementation of our `RequestMonitoring` context
system. Using https://docs.rs/try-lock/latest/try_lock/ as a cheap lock
for such a use-case (needed to be thread safe).
Removed the lock of each startup message, instead just logging only the
startup params in a successful handshake.
Also removed from values from `ProxyConfig` and kept as arguments.
(needed for local-proxy config)
Timeline cancellation running in parallel with gc yields error log lines
like:
```
Gc failed 1 times, retrying in 2s: TimelineCancelled
```
They are completely harmless though and normal to occur. Therefore, only
print those messages at an info level. Still print them at all so that
we know what is going on if we focus on a single timeline.
Part of #8128.
## Problem
Currently, scrubber `scan_metadata` command will return with an error
code if the metadata on remote storage is corrupted with fatal errors.
To safely deploy this command in a cronjob, we want to differentiate
between failures while running scrubber command and the erroneous
metadata. At the same time, we also want our regression tests to catch
corrupted metadata using the scrubber command.
## Summary of changes
- Return with error code only when the scrubber command fails
- Uses explicit checks on errors and warnings to determine metadata
health in regression tests.
**Resolve conflict with `tenant-snapshot` command (after shard split):**
[`test_scrubber_tenant_snapshot`](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/blob/yuchen/scrubber-scan-cleanup-before-prod/test_runner/regress/test_storage_scrubber.py#L23)
failed before applying 422a8443dd
- When taking a snapshot, the old `index_part.json` in the unsharded
tenant directory is not kept.
- The current `list_timeline_blobs` implementation consider no
`index_part.json` as a parse error.
- During the scan, we are only analyzing shards with highest shard
count, so we will not get a parse error. but we do need to add the
layers to tenant object listing, otherwise we will get index is
referencing a layer that is not in remote storage error.
- **Action:** Add s3_layers from `list_timeline_blobs` regardless of
parsing error

## Problem
We lack a rust bench for the inmemory layer and delta layer write paths:
it is useful to benchmark these components independent of postgres & WAL
decoding.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8452
## Summary of changes
- Refactor DeltaLayerWriter to avoid carrying a Timeline, so that it can
be cleanly tested + benched without a Tenant/Timeline test harness. It
only needed the Timeline for building `Layer`, so this can be done in a
separate step.
- Add `bench_ingest`, which exercises a variety of workload "shapes"
(big values, small values, sequential keys, random keys)
- Include a small uncontroversial optimization: in `freeze`, only
exhaustively walk values to assert ordering relative to end_lsn in debug
mode.
These benches are limited by drive performance on a lot of machines, but
still useful as a local tool for iterating on CPU/memory improvements
around this code path.

## Problem
Sometimes, a layer is Covered by hasn't yet been evicted from local disk
(e.g. shortly after image layer generation). It is not good use of
resources to download these to a secondary location, as there's a good
chance they will never be read.
This follows the previous change that added layer visibility:
- #8511
Part of epic:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8398
## Summary of changes
- When generating heatmaps, only include Visible layers
- Update test_secondary_downloads to filter to visible layers when
listing layers from an attached location
## Problem
In staging, we could see that occasionally tenants were wrapping their
pageserver_visible_physical_size metric past zero to 2^64.
This is harmless right now, but will matter more later when we start
using visible size in things like the /utilization endpoint.
## Summary of changes
- Add debug asserts that detect this case. `test_gc_of_remote_layers`
works as a reproducer for this issue once the asserts are added.
- Tighten up the interface around access_stats so that only Layer can
mutate it.
- In Layer, wrap calls to `record_access` in code that will update the
visible size statistic if the access implicitly marks the layer visible
(this was what caused the bug)
- In LayerManager::rewrite_layers, use the proper set_visibility layer
function instead of directly using access_stats (this is an additional
path where metrics could go bad.)
- Removed unused instances of LayerAccessStats in DeltaLayer and
ImageLayer which I noticed while reviewing the code paths that call
record_access.
## Problem
The controller scale test does random migrations. These mutate secondary
locations, and therefore can cause secondary optimizations to happen in
the background, violating the test's expectation that consistency_check
will work as there are no reconciliations running.
Example:
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/main/10247161379/index.html#suites/07874de07c4a1c9effe0d92da7755ebf/6316beacd3fb3060/
## Summary of changes
- Only migrate to existing secondary locations, not randomly picked
nodes, so that we can do a fast reconcile_until_idle (otherwise
reconcile_until_idle is takes a long time to create new secondary
locations).
- Do a reconcile_until_idle before consistency_check.
## Problem
We need to test the logical replication with some external consumers.

Currently, we do not have facilities to persistently block GC on a
tenant for whatever reason. We could do a tenant configuration update,
but that is risky for generation numbers and would also be transient.
Introduce a `gc_block` facility in the tenant, which manages per
timeline blocking reasons.
Additionally, add HTTP endpoints for enabling/disabling manual gc
blocking for a specific timeline. For debugging, individual tenant
status now includes a similar string representation logged when GC is
skipped.

Currently if `GET
/v1/tenant/x/timeline/y?force-await-initial-logical-size=true` is
requested for a root timeline created within the current pageserver

timelines will always have an accurate (at initdb import) calculated
logical size. Fix is to never attempt prioritizing timeline size
calculation if we already have an exact value.

## Problem
In some cases, a deadlock between `build-and-test` and
`trigger-e2e-tests` workflows can happen:
```
Build and Test
Canceling since a deadlock for concurrency group 'Build and Test-8600/merge-anysha' was detected between 'top level workflow' and 'trigger-e2e-tests'
```
I don't understand the reason completely, probably `${{ github.workflow
}}` got evaluated to the same value and somehow caused the issue.
We don't need to limit concurrency for `trigger-e2e-tests`
workflow.

## Problem
We don't trigger e2e tests for draft PRs, but we do trigger them once a
PR is in the "Ready for review" state.
Sometimes, a PR can be marked as "Ready for review" before we finish
image building. In such cases, triggering e2e tests fails.
## Summary of changes
- Make `trigger-e2e-tests` job poll status of `promote-images` job from
the build-and-test workflow for the last commit. And trigger only if the
status is `success`
- Remove explicit image checking from the workflow
- Add `concurrency` for `triggere-e2e-tests` workflow to make it
possible to cancel jobs in progress (if PR moves from "Draft" to "Ready
for review" several times in a row)

## Problem
Currently, our backward compatibility tests only look one release back.
That means, for example, that when we switch on image layer compression
by default, we'll test reading of uncompressed layers for one release,
and then stop doing it. When we make an index_part.json format change,
we'll test against the old format for a week, then stop (unless we write
separate unit tests for each old format).
The reality in the field is that data in old formats will continue to
exist for weeks/months/years. When we make major format changes, we
should retain examples of the old format data, and continuously verify
that the latest code can still read them.
This test uses contents from a new path in the public S3 bucket,
`compatibility-data-snapshots/`. It is populated by hand. The first
important artifact is one from before we switch on compression, so that
we will keep testing reads of uncompressed data. We will generate more
artifacts ahead of other key changes, like when we update remote storage
format for archival timelines.

This commit tries to fix regular load spikes on staging, caused by too
many eviction and partial upload operations running at the same time.

delayed.

- Rename `resident_since` to `evict_not_before` and smooth out the curve

unbounded fashion.
Fixes#7317
Chaos injection bridges the gap between automated testing (where we do
lots of different things with small, short-lived tenants), and staging
(where we do many fewer things, but with larger, long-lived tenants).
This PR adds a first type of chaos which isn't really very chaotic: it's
live migration of tenants between healthy pageservers. This nevertheless
provides continuous checks that things like clean, prompt shutdown of
tenants works for realistically deployed pageservers with realistically
large tenants.
## Problem
Previously, when we do a timeline deletion, shards will delete layers
that belong to an ancestor. That is not a correctness issue, because
when we delete a timeline, we're always deleting it from all shards, and
destroying data for that timeline is clearly fine.
However, there exists a race where one shard might start doing this
deletion while another shard has not yet received the deletion request,
and might try to access an ancestral layer. This creates ambiguity over
the "all layers referenced by my index should always exist" invariant,
which is important to detecting and reporting corruption.
Now that we have a GC mode for clearing up ancestral layers, we can rely
on that to clean up such layers, and avoid deleting them right away.
This makes things easier to reason about: there are now no cases where a
shard will delete a layer that belongs to a ShardIndex other than
itself.
## Summary of changes
- Modify behavior of RemoteTimelineClient::delete_all
- Add `test_scrubber_physical_gc_timeline_deletion` to exercise this
case
- Tweak AWS SDK config in the scrubber to enable retries. Motivated by
seeing the test for this feature encounter some transient "service

this PR)

Due to the limitation of the current layer map implementation, we cannot
directly replace a layer. It's interpreted as an insert and a deletion,
and there will be file exist error when renaming the newly-created layer
to replace the old layer. We work around that by changing the end key of
the image layer. A long-term fix would involve a refactor around the
layer file naming. For delta layers, we simply skip layers with the same
key range produced, though it is possible to add an extra key as an
alternative solution.
* The image layer range for the layers generated from gc-compaction will
be Key::MIN..(Key..MAX-1), to avoid being recognized as an L0 delta
layer.
* Skip existing layers if it turns out that we need to generate a layer
with the same persistent key in the same generation.
Note that it is possible that the newly-generated layer has different
content from the existing layer. For example, when the user drops a
retain_lsn, the compaction could have combined or dropped some records,
therefore creating a smaller layer than the existing one. We discard the
"optimized" layer for now because we cannot deal with such rewrites
within the same generation.

## Problem
We recently added a "visibility" state to layers, but nothing
initializes it.
Part of:
- #8398
## Summary of changes
- Add a dependency on `range-set-blaze`, which is used as a fast
incrementally updated alternative to KeySpace. We could also use this to
replace the internals of KeySpaceRandomAccum if we wanted to. Writing a
type that does this kind of "BtreeMap & merge overlapping entries" thing
isn't super complicated, but no reason to write this ourselves when
there's a third party impl available.
- Add a function to layermap to calculate visibilities for each layer
- Add a function to Timeline to call into layermap and then apply these
visibilities to the Layer objects.
- Invoke the calculation during startup, after image layer creations,
and when removing branches. Branch removal and image layer creation are
the two ways that a layer can go from Visible to Covered.
- Add unit test & benchmark for the visibility calculation
- Expose `pageserver_visible_physical_size` metric, which should always
be <= `pageserver_remote_physical_size`.
- This metric will feed into the /v1/utilization endpoint later: the
visible size indicates how much space we would like to use on this
pageserver for this tenant.
- When `pageserver_visible_physical_size` is greater than
`pageserver_resident_physical_size`, this is a sign that the tenant has
long-idle branches, which result in layers that are visible in
principle, but not used in practice.
This does not keep visibility hints up to date in all cases:
particularly, when creating a child timeline, any previously covered
layers will not get marked Visible until they are accessed.
Updates after image layer creation could be implemented as more of a
special case, but this would require more new code: the existing depth
calculation code doesn't maintain+yield the list of deltas that would be
covered by an image layer.
## Performance
This operation is done rarely (at startup and at timeline deletion), so
needs to be efficient but not ultra-fast.
There is a new `visibility` bench that measures runtime for a synthetic
100k layers case (`sequential`) and a real layer map (`real_map`) with
~26k layers.
The benchmark shows runtimes of single digit milliseconds (on a ryzen
7950). This confirms that the runtime shouldn't be a problem at startup
(as we already incur S3-level latencies there), but that it's slow
enough that we definitely shouldn't call it more often than necessary,
and it may be worthwhile to optimize further later (things like: when
removing a branch, only bother scanning layers below the branchpoint)

# Motivation
The working theory for hung systemd during PS deploy
(https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/11387) is that leftover
walredo processes trigger a race condition.
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8150 I arranged that a
clean Tenant shutdown does actually kill its walredo processes.
But many prod machines don't manage to shut down all their tenants until
the 10s systemd timeout hits and, presumably, triggers the race
condition in systemd / the Linux kernel that causes the frozen systemd
# Solution
This PR bolts on a rather ugly mechanism to shut down tenant managers
out of order 8s after we've received the SIGTERM from systemd.
# Changes
- add a global registry of `Weak<WalRedoManager>`
- add a special thread spawned during `shutdown_pageserver` that sleeps
for 8s, then shuts down all redo managers in the registry and prevents
new redo managers from being created
- propagate the new failure mode of tenant spawning throughout the code
base
- make sure shut down tenant manager results in
PageReconstructError::Cancelled so that if Timeline::get calls come in
after the shutdown, they do the right thing
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8241 I've accidentally

of the scrubber to `GenericRemoteStorage`.

## Problem
This code was confusing, untested and covered:
- an impossible case, where intent state is AttacheStale (we never do
this)
- a rare edge case (going from AttachedMulti to Attached), which we were
not testing, and in any case the pageserver internally does the same
Tenant reset in this transition as it would do if we incremented
generation.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8367
## Summary of changes
- Simplify the logic to only skip incrementing the generation if the
location already has the expected generation and the exact same mode.
In some cases, we can get a negative metric for replication_delay_bytes.
My best guess from all the research I've done is that we evaluate
pg_last_wal_receive_lsn() before pg_last_wal_replay_lsn(), and that by
the time everything is said and done, the replay LSN has advanced past
the receive LSN. In this case, our lag can effectively be modeled as
0 due to the speed of the WAL reception and replay.
Since the introduction of sharding, the protocol handling loop in
`handle_pagerequests` cannot know anymore which concrete
`Tenant`/`Timeline` object any of the incoming `PagestreamFeMessage`
resolves to.
In fact, one message might resolve to one `Tenant`/`Timeline` while
the next one may resolve to another one.
To avoid going to tenant manager, we added the `shard_timelines` which
acted as an ever-growing cache that held timeline gate guards open for
the lifetime of the connection.
The consequence of holding the gate guards open was that we had to be
sensitive to every cached `Timeline::cancel` on each interaction with
the network connection, so that Timeline shutdown would not have to wait
for network connection interaction.
We can do better than that, meaning more efficiency & better
abstraction.
I proposed a sketch for it in
* https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8286
and this PR implements an evolution of that sketch.
The main idea is is that `mod page_service` shall be solely concerned
with the following:
1. receiving requests by speaking the protocol / pagestream subprotocol
2. dispatching the request to a corresponding method on the correct
shard/`Timeline` object
3. sending response by speaking the protocol / pagestream subprotocol.
The cancellation sensitivity responsibilities are clear cut:
* while in `page_service` code, sensitivity to page_service cancellation
is sufficient
* while in `Timeline` code, sensitivity to `Timeline::cancel` is
sufficient
To enforce these responsibilities, we introduce the notion of a
`timeline::handle::Handle` to a `Timeline` object that is checked out
from a `timeline::handle::Cache` for **each request**.
The `Handle` derefs to `Timeline` and is supposed to be used for a
single async method invocation on `Timeline`.
See the lengthy doc comment in `mod handle` for details of the design.

For child branches, we will pull the image of the modified keys from the
parant into the child branch, which creates a full history for
generating key retention. If there are not enough delta keys, the image
won't be wrote eventually, and we will only keep the deltas inside the
child branch. We could avoid the wasteful work to pull the image from
the parent if we can know the number of deltas in advance, in the future
(currently we always pull image for all modified keys in the child
branch)

# Problem
We want to bypass PS PageCache for all data block reads, but
`compact_level0_phase1` currently uses `ValueRef::load` to load the WAL
records from delta layers.
Internally, that maps to `FileBlockReader:read_blk` which hits the
PageCache
[here](e78341e1c2/pageserver/src/tenant/block_io.rs (L229-L236)).
# Solution
This PR adds a mode for `compact_level0_phase1` that uses the
`MergeIterator` for reading the `Value`s from the delta layer files.
`MergeIterator` is a streaming k-merge that uses vectored blob_io under
the hood, which bypasses the PS PageCache for data blocks.
Other notable changes:
* change the `DiskBtreeReader::into_stream` to buffer the node, instead
of holding a `PageCache` `PageReadGuard`.
* Without this, we run out of page cache slots in
`test_pageserver_compaction_smoke`.
* Generally, `PageReadGuard`s aren't supposed to be held across await
points, so, this is a general bugfix.
# Testing / Validation / Performance
`MergeIterator` has not yet been used in production; it's being
developed as part of

Therefore, this PR adds a validation mode that compares the existing
approach's value iterator with the new approach's stream output, item by
item.
If they're not identical, we log a warning / fail the unit/regression
test.
To avoid flooding the logs, we apply a global rate limit of once per 10
seconds.
In any case, we use the existing approach's value.
Expected performance impact that will be monitored in staging / nightly
benchmarks / eventually pre-prod:
* with validation:
* increased CPU usage
* ~doubled VirtualFile read bytes/second metric
* no change in disk IO usage because the kernel page cache will likely
have the pages buffered on the second read
* without validation:
* slightly higher DRAM usage because each iterator participating in the
k-merge has a dedicated buffer (as opposed to before, where compactions
would rely on the PS PageCaceh as a shared evicting buffer)
* less disk IO if previously there were repeat PageCache misses (likely
case on a busy production Pageserver)
* lower CPU usage: PageCache out of the picture, fewer syscalls are made
(vectored blob io batches reads)
# Rollout
The new code is used with validation mode enabled-by-default.
This gets us validation everywhere by default, specifically in
- Rust unit tests
- Python tests
- Nightly pagebench (shouldn't really matter)
- Staging
Before the next release, I'll merge the following aws.git PR that
configures prod to continue using the existing behavior:
* https://github.com/neondatabase/aws/pull/1663
# Interactions With Other Features
This work & rollout should complete before Direct IO is enabled because
Direct IO would double the IOPS & latency for each compaction read
(#8240).
# Future Work
The streaming k-merge's memory usage is proportional to the amount of
memory per participating layer.
But `compact_level0_phase1` still loads all keys into memory for
`all_keys_iter`.
Thus, it continues to have active memory usage proportional to the
number of keys involved in the compaction.
Future work should replace `all_keys_iter` with a streaming keys
iterator.
This PR has a draft in its first commit, which I later reverted because
it's not necessary to achieve the goal of this PR / issue #8184.

Part of #8128, followed by #8502.
## Problem
Currently we lack mechanism to alert unhealthy `scan_metadata` status if
we start running this scrubber command as part of a cronjob. With the
storage controller client introduced to storage scrubber in #8196, it is
viable to set up alert by storing health status in the storage
controller database.
We intentionally do not store the full output to the database as the
json blobs potentially makes the table really huge. Instead, only a
health status and a timestamp recording the last time metadata health
status is posted on a tenant shard.

This tests the ability to push into ACR using OIDC. Proved it worked by running slightly modified YAML.
In `promote-images` we push the following images `neon compute-tools {vm-,}compute-node-{v14,v15,v16}` into `neoneastus2`.
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/14640
## Problem
We don't allow regular end-users to use `k8s-pod` provisioner,
but we still use it in nightly benchmarks
## Summary of changes
- Remove `provisioner` input from `neon-create-project` action, use
`k8s-neonvm` as a default provioner
- Change `neon-` platform prefix to `neonvm-`
- Remove `neon-captest-freetier` and `neon-captest-new` as we already
have their `neonvm` counterparts
Add two new functions `stream_objects_with_retries` and
`stream_tenants_generic` and use them in the `find-large-objects`
subcommand, migrating it to `remote_storage`.
Also adds the `size` field to the `ListingObject` struct.
Part of #7547
If compression is enabled, we currently try compressing each image
larger than a specific size and if the compressed version is smaller, we
write that one, otherwise we use the uncompressed image. However, this
might sometimes be a wasteful process, if there is a substantial amount
of images that don't compress well.
The compression metrics added in #8420
`pageserver_compression_image_in_bytes_total` and
`pageserver_compression_image_out_bytes_total` are well designed for
answering the question how space efficient the total compression process
is end-to-end, which helps one to decide whether to enable it or not.
To answer the question of how much waste there is in terms of trial
compression, so CPU time, we add two metrics:
* one about the images that have been trial-compressed (considered), and
* one about the images where the compressed image has actually been
written (chosen).
There is different ways of weighting them, like for example one could
look at the count, or the compressed data. But the main contributor to
compression CPU usage is amount of data processed, so we weight the
images by their *uncompressed* size. In other words, the two metrics
are:
* `pageserver_compression_image_in_bytes_considered`
* `pageserver_compression_image_in_bytes_chosen`
Part of #5431
## Problem
Old storage buckets can contain a lot of tenants that aren't known to
the control plane at all, because they belonged to test jobs that get
their control plane state cleaned up shortly after running.
In general, it's somewhat unsafe to purge these, as it's hard to
distinguish "control plane doesn't know about this, so it's garbage"
from "control plane said it didn't know about this, which is a bug in
the scrubber, control plane, or API URL configured".
However, the most common case is that we see only a small husk of a
tenant in S3 from a specific old behavior of the software, for example:
- We had a bug where heatmaps weren't deleted on tenant delete
- When WAL DR was first deployed, we didn't delete initdb.tar.zst on
tenant deletion
## Summary of changes
- Add a KnownBug variant for the garbage reason
- Include such cases in the "safe" deletion mode (`--mode=deleted`)
- Add code that inspects tenants missing in control plane to identify
cases of known bugs (this is kind of slow, but should go away once we've
cleaned all these up)
- Add an additional `-min-age` safety check similar to physical GC,
where even if everything indicates objects aren't needed, we won't
delete something that has been modified too recently.

## Problem
The secondary download HTTP API is meant to return 200 if the download
is complete, and 202 if it is still in progress. In #8198 the download
implementation was changed to drop out with success early if it
over-runs a time budget, which resulted in 200 responses for incomplete
downloads.
This breaks storcon_cli's "tenant-warmup" command, which uses the OK
status to indicate download complete.
## Summary of changes
- Only return 200 if we get an Ok() _and_ the progress stats indicate
the download is complete.

We don't have to worry about retries, as the function is wrapped inside
an outer retry block. If there is a retryable error either during the
listing or during deletion, we just do a fresh start.
Also adds `+ Send` bounds as they are required by the
`delete_tenant_remote` function.

In general, replace:
* 'lfc_approximate_working_set_size' with

For the "main" metrics that are actually scraped and used internally,
the old one is just marked as deprecated.
For the "autoscaling" metrics, we're not currently using the old one, so
we can get away with just replacing it.
Also, for the user-visible metrics we'll only store & expose a few
different time windows, to avoid making the UI overly busy or bloating
our internal metrics storage.
But for the autoscaling-related scraper, we aren't storing the metrics,
and it's useful to be able to programmatically operate on the trendline
of how WSS increases (or doesn't!) with window size. So there, we can
just output datapoints for each minute.

PR #8299 has switched the storage scrubber to use
`DefaultCredentialsChain`. Now we do this for `remote_storage`, as it
allows us to use `remote_storage` from inside kubernetes. Most of the
diff is due to `GenericRemoteStorage::from_config` becoming `async fn`.
This adds an archival_config endpoint to the pageserver. Currently it
has no effect, and always "works", but later the intent is that it will
make a timeline archived/unarchived.

## Problem
There are some swagger errors in `pageserver/src/http/openapi_spec.yml`
```
Error 431 15000 Object includes not allowed fields
Error 569 3100401 should always have a 'required'
Error 569 15000 Object includes not allowed fields
Error 1111 10037 properties members must be schemas
```
## Summary of changes
Fixed the above errors.
## Problem
After a shard split, the pageserver leaves the ancestor shard's content
in place. It may be referenced by child shards, but eventually child
shards will de-reference most ancestor layers as they write their own
data and do GC. We would like to eventually clean up those ancestor
layers to reclaim space.
## Summary of changes
- Extend the physical GC command with `--mode=full`, which includes
cleaning up unreferenced ancestor shard layers
- Add test `test_scrubber_physical_gc_ancestors`
- Remove colored log output: in testing this is irritating ANSI code
spam in logs, and in interactive use doesn't add much.
- Refactor storage controller API client code out of storcon_client into
a `storage_controller/client` crate
- During physical GC of ancestors, call into the storage controller to
check that the latest shards seen in S3 reflect the latest state of the
tenant, and there is no shard split in progress.
We're removing the usage of this long-meaningless config field in
https://github.com/neondatabase/aws/pull/1599
Once that PR has been deployed to staging and prod, we can merge this
PR.
## Problem
My prior PR https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8422

To work-around we install vanilla postgres as non-root using deb
packages in /home/nonroot user directory
## Summary of changes
- since we cannot use root we install the deb pkgs directly and create
symbolic links for psql, pgbench and libs in expected places
- continue jobs an aws even if azure jobs fail (because this region is
currently unreliable)
Successor of #8288 , just enable zstd in tests. Also adds a test that

We have an issue that some partial uploaded segments can be actually
missing in remote storage. I found this issue when was looking at the
logs in staging, and it can be triggered by failed uploads:
1. Code tries to upload `SEG_TERM_LSN_LSN_sk5.partial`, but receives
error from S3
2. The failed attempt is saved to `segments` vec
3. After some time, the code tries to upload
`SEG_TERM_LSN_LSN_sk5.partial` again
4. This time the upload is successful and code calls `gc()` to delete
previous uploads
5. Since new object and old object share the same name, uploaded data
gets deleted from remote storage
This commit fixes the issue by patching `gc()` not to delete objects
with the same name as currently uploaded.

## Problem
Ahead of enabling eviction in the field, where it will become the
normal/default mode, let's enable it by default throughout our tests in
case any issues become visible there.
## Summary of changes
- Make default `extra_opts` for safekeepers enable offload & deletion
- Set low timeouts in `extra_opts` so that tests running for tens of
seconds have a chance to hit some of these background operations.
## Problem
These tests time out ~1 in 50 runs when in debug mode.
There is no indication of a real issue: they're just wrappers that have
large numbers of individual tests contained within on pytest case.
## Summary of changes
- Bump pg_regress timeout from 600 to 900s
- Bump test_isolation timeout from 300s (default) to 600s
In future it would be nice to break out these tests to run individual
cases (or batches thereof) as separate tests, rather than this monolith.
## Problem
This test would occasionally fail its metric check. This could happen in
the rare case that the nodes had all been restarted before their most
recent eviction.
The metric check was added in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8348
## Summary of changes
- Check metrics before each restart, accumulate into a bool that we
assert on at the end of the test
When `NeonEnv.from_repo_dir` was introduced, storage controller stored
its
state exclusively `attachments.json`.
Since then, it has moved to using Postgres, which stores its state in
`storage_controller_db`.
But `NeonEnv.from_repo_dir` wasn't adjusted to do this.
This PR rectifies the situation.
Context for this is failures in
`test_pageserver_characterize_throughput_with_n_tenants`
CF:
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1721035799502239?thread_ts=1720901332.293769&cid=C033RQ5SPDH
Notably, `from_repo_dir` is also used by the backwards- and
forwards-compatibility.
Thus, the changes in this PR affect those tests as well.
However, it turns out that the compatibility snapshot already contains
the `storage_controller_db`.
Thus, it should just work and in fact we can remove hacks like
`fixup_storage_controller`.

## Problem
There are something wrong in the comment of
`control_plane/src/broker.rs` and `control_plane/src/pageserver.rs`
## Summary of changes
Fixed the comment about component name and their data path in
`control_plane/src/broker.rs` and `control_plane/src/pageserver.rs`.
## Problem
We lack insight into:
- How much of a tenant's physical size is image vs. delta layers
- Average sizes of image vs. delta layers
- Total layer counts per timeline, indicating size of index_part object
As well as general observability love, this is motivated by
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6738, where we need to
define some sensible thresholds for storage amplification, and using
total physical size may not work well (if someone does a lot of DROPs
then it's legitimate for the physical-synthetic ratio to be huge), but
the ratio between image layer size and delta layer size may be a better
indicator of whether we're generating unreasonable quantities of image
layers.
## Summary of changes
- Add pageserver_layer_bytes and pageserver_layer_count metrics,
labelled by timeline and `kind` (delta or image)
- Add & subtract these with LayerInner's lifetime.
I'm intentionally avoiding using a generic metric RAII guard object, to
avoid bloating LayerInner: it already has all the information it needs
to update metric on new+drop.
This test reproduces the case of a writer creating a deep stack of L0
layers. It uses realistic layer sizes and writes several gigabytes of
data, therefore runs as a performance test although it is validating
memory footprint rather than performance per se.
It acts a regression test for two recent fixes:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8401
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8391
In future it will demonstrate the larger improvement of using a k-merge
iterator for L0 compaction (#8184)
This test can be extended to enforce limits on the memory consumption of
other housekeeping steps, by restarting the pageserver and then running
other things to do the same "how much did RSS increase" measurement.
Existing tenants and some selection of layers might produce duplicated
keys. Add tests to ensure the k-merge iterator handles it correctly. We
also enforced ordering of the k-merge iterator to put images before
deltas.

## Problem
We want to run performance tests on all supported cloud providers.
We want to run most tests on the postgres version which is default for
new projects in production, currently (July 24) this is postgres version

- add azure region to pgbench_compare jobs
- add azure region to pgvector benchmarking jobs
- re-used project `weathered-snowflake-88107345` was prepared with 1
million embeddings running on 7 minCU 7 maxCU in azure region to compare

## Problem
When a tenant creates a new timeline that they will treat as their
'main' history,
it is awkward to permanently retain an 'old main' timeline as its
ancestor. Currently
this is necessary because it is forbidden to delete a timeline which has
descendents.
## Summary of changes
A new pageserver API is proposed to 'adopt' data from a parent timeline
into
one of its children, such that the link between ancestor and child can
be severed,
leaving the parent in a state where it may then be deleted.

## Problem
ValueRef is an unnecessarily large structure, because it carries a
cursor. L0 compaction currently instantiates gigabytes of these under
some circumstances.
## Summary of changes
- Carry a ref to the parent layer instead of a cursor, and construct a
cursor on demand.
This reduces RSS high watermark during L0 compaction by about 20%.
## Problem
The `evictions_with_low_residence_duration` is used as an indicator of
cache thrashing. However, there are situations where it is quite
legitimate to only have a short residence during compaction, where a
delta is downloaded, used to generate an image layer, and then
discarded. This can lead to false positive alerts.
## Summary of changes
- Only track low residence duration for layers that have been accessed
at least once (compaction doesn't count as an access). This will give us
a metric that indicates thrashing on layers that the _user_ is using,
rather than those we're downloading for housekeeping purposes.
Once we add "layer visibility" as an explicit property of layers, this
can also be used as a cleaner condition (residence of non-visible layers
should never be alertable)
## Problem
close https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8389
## Summary of changes
A quick mitigation for tenants with fast writes. We compact at most 60
delta layers at a time, expecting a memory footprint of 15GB. We will
pick the oldest 60 L0 layers.
This should be a relatively safe change so no test is added. Question is
whether to make this parameter configurable via tenant config.

- `horizon` is a confusing term, it's not at all obvious that this means
space-based retention limit, rather than the total GC history limit.
Rename to `GcCutoffs::space`.
- `pitr` is less confusing, but still an unecessary level of indirection
from what we really mean: a time-based condition. The fact that we use
that that time-history for Point In Time Recovery doesn't mean we have
to refer to time as "pitr" everywhere. Rename to `GcCutoffs::time`.
As described in #8385, the likely source for flakiness in
test_tenant_creation_fails is the following sequence of events:
1. test instructs the storage controller to create the tenant
2. storage controller adds the tenant and persists it to the database.
issues a creation request
3. the pageserver restarts with the failpoint disabled
4. storage controller's background reconciliation still wants to create
the tenant
5. pageserver gets new request to create the tenant from background
reconciliation
This commit just avoids the storage controller entirely. It has its own
set of issues, as the re-attach request will obviously not include the
tenant, but it's still useful to test for non-existence of the tenant.
The generation is also not optional any more during tenant attachment.
If you omit it, the pageserver yields an error. We change the signature
of `tenant_attach` to reflect that.

## Problem
This structure was in an Arc<> unnecessarily, making it harder to reason
about its lifetime (i.e. it was superficially possible for LayerManager
to outlive timeline, even though no code used it that way)
## Summary of changes
- Remove the Arc<>
Right now timeline detach ancestor reports an error (409, "no ancestor")
on a new attempt after successful completion. This makes it troublesome
for storage controller retries. Fix it to respond with `200 OK` as if
the operation had just completed quickly.
Additionally, the returned timeline identifiers in the 200 OK response
are now ordered so that responses between different nodes for error
comparison are done by the storage controller added in #8353.
Design-wise, this PR introduces a new strategy for accessing the latest
uploaded IndexPart:
`RemoteTimelineClient::initialized_upload_queue(&self) ->
Result<UploadQueueAccessor<'_>, NotInitialized>`. It should be a more
scalable way to query the latest uploaded `IndexPart` than to add a
query method for each question directly on `RemoteTimelineClient`.
GC blocking will need to be introduced to make the operation fully
idempotent. However, it is idempotent for the cases demonstrated by
tests.
Cc: #6994
## Problem
Pageserver GC uses a size-based condition (GC "horizon" in addition to
time-based "PITR").
Eventually we plan to retire the size-based condition:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6374
Currently, we always apply the more conservative of the two, meaning
that tenants always retain at least 64MB of history (default horizon),
even after a very long time has passed. This is particularly acute in
cases where someone has dropped tables/databases, and then leaves a
database idle: the horizon can prevent GCing very large quantities of
historical data (we already account for this in synthetic size by
ignoring gc horizon).
We're not entirely removing GC horizon right now because we don't want
to 100% rely on standby_horizon for robustness of physical replication,
but we can tweak our logic to avoid retaining that 64MB LSN length
indefinitely.
## Summary of changes
- Rework `Timeline::find_gc_cutoffs`, with new logic:
- If there is no PITR set, then use `DEFAULT_PITR_INTERVAL` (1 week) to
calculate a time threshold. Retain either the horizon or up to that
thresholds, whichever requires less data.
- When there is a PITR set, and we have unambiguously resolved the
timestamp to an LSN, then ignore the GC horizon entirely. For typical
PITRs (1 day, 1 week), this will still easily retain enough data to
avoid stressing read only replicas.
The key property we end up with, whether a PITR is set or not, is that
after enough time has passed, our GC cutoff on an idle timeline will
catch up with the last_record_lsn.
Using `DEFAULT_PITR_INTERVAL` is a bit of an arbitrary hack, but this
feels like it isn't really worth the noise of exposing in TenantConfig.
We could just make it a different named constant though. The end-end
state will be that there is no gc_horizon at all, and that tenants with
pitr_interval=0 would truly retain no history, so this constant would go
away.
Currently storage controller does not support forwarding timeline detach
ancestor requests to pageservers. Add support for forwarding `PUT
.../:tenant_id/timelines/:timeline_id/detach_ancestor`. Implement the
support mostly as is, because the timeline detach ancestor will be made
(mostly) idempotent in future PR.

## Problem
Right now if there are too many running xacts to be restored from CLOG
at replica startup,
then replica is not trying to restore them and wait for non-overflown
running-xacs WAL record from primary.
But if primary is not active, then replica will not start at all.
Too many running xacts can be caused by transactions with large number
of subtractions.
But right now it can be also cause by two reasons:
- Lack of shutdown checkpoint which updates `oldestRunningXid` (because
of immediate shutdown)
- nextXid alignment on 1024 boundary (which cause loosing ~1k XIDs on
each restart)
Both problems are somehow addressed now.
But we have existed customers with "sparse" CLOG and lack of
checkpoints.
To be able to start RO replicas for such customers I suggest to add GUC
which allows replica to start even in case of subxacts overflow.
## Summary of changes
Add `neon.running_xacts_overflow_policy` with the following values:
- ignore: restore from CLOG last N XIDs and accept connections
- skip: do not restore any XIDs from CXLOGbut still accept connections
- wait: wait non-overflown running xacts record from primary node

## Problem
This test would sometimes violate the min resident size during disk
eviction and fail due to the generate warning log.
Disk usage candidate collection only takes into account active tenants.
However, the statvfs call takes into account the entire tenants
directory, which includes tenants which haven't become active yet.
After re-starting the pageserver, disk usage eviction may kick in
*before* both tenants have become active. Hence, the logic will try to satisfy
thedisk usage requirements by evicting everything belonging to the active
tenant, and hence violating the tenant minimum resident size.

## Problem
We already back off on compaction retries, but the impact of a failing
compaction can be so great that backing off up to 300s isn't enough. The
impact is consuming a lot of I/O+CPU in the case of image layer
generation for large tenants, and potentially also leaking disk space.
Compaction failures are extremely rare and almost always indicate a bug,
frequently a bug that will not let compaction to proceed until it is
fixed.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6738
## Summary of changes
- Introduce a CircuitBreaker type
- Add a circuit breaker for compaction, with a policy that after 5
failures, compaction will not be attempted again for 24 hours.
- Add metrics that we can alert on: any >0 value for
`pageserver_circuit_breaker_broken_total` should generate an alert.
- Add a test that checks this works as intended.
Couple notes to reviewers:
- Circuit breakers are intrinsically a defense-in-depth measure: this is
not the solution to any underlying issues, it is just a general
mitigation for "unknown unknowns" that might be encountered in future.
- This PR isn't primarily about writing a perfect CircuitBreaker type:
the one in this PR is meant to be just enough to mitigate issues in
compaction, and make it easy to monitor/alert on these failures. We can
refine this type in future as/when we want to use it elsewhere.
Implement decompression of images for vectored reads.
This doesn't implement support for still treating blobs as uncompressed
with the bits we reserved for compression, as we have removed that
functionality in #8300 anyways.
Part of #5431
We need to pass on the configured compression param during image layer
generation.
This was an oversight of #8106, and the likely cause why #8288 didn't
bring any interesting regressions.

## Problem
In anticipation of later adding a really nice drain+delete API, I
initially only added an intentionally basic `/drop` API that is just
about usable for deleting nodes in a pinch, but requires some ugly
storage controller restarts to persuade it to restart secondaries.
## Summary of changes
I started making a few tiny fixes, and ended up writing the delete
API...
- Quality of life nit: ordering of node + tenant listings in storcon_cli
- Papercut: Fix the attach_hook using the wrong operation type for
reporting slow locks
- Make Service::spawn tolerate `generation_pageserver` columns that
point to nonexistent node IDs. I started out thinking of this as a
general resilience thing, but when implementing the delete API I
realized it was actually a legitimate end state after the delete API is
called (as that API doesn't wait for all reconciles to succeed).
- Add a `DELETE` API for nodes, which does not gracefully drain, but
does reschedule everything. This becomes safe to use when the system is
in any state, but will incur availability gaps for any tenants that
weren't already live-migrated away. If tenants have already been
drained, this becomes a totally clean + safe way to decom a node.
- Add a test and a storcon_cli wrapper for it
This is meant to be a robust initial API that lets us remove nodes
without doing ugly things like restarting the storage controller -- it's
not quite a totally graceful node-draining routine yet. There's more
work in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8333 to get to our
end-end state.
## Problem
Follow up to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8335, to improve
observability of how many evict/restores we are doing.
## Summary of changes
- Add `safekeeper_eviction_events_started_total` and
`safekeeper_eviction_events_completed_total`, with a "kind" label of
evict or restore. This gives us rates, and also ability to calculate how
many are in progress.
- Generalize SafekeeperMetrics test type to use the same helpers as
pageserver, and enable querying any metric.
- Read the new metrics at the end of the eviction test.
## Problem
SeqWait::would_wait_for returns Ok in the case when we would not wait
for the sequence number and Err otherwise.
ReconcilerWaiter::get_status uses it the wrong way around. This can
cause the storage controller to go into a busy loop
and make it look unavailable to the k8s controller.
## Summary of changes
Use `SeqWait::would_wait_for` correctly.
`trace_read_requests` is a per `Tenant`-object option.
But the `handle_pagerequests` loop doesn't know which
`Tenant` object (i.e., which shard) the request is for.
The remaining use of the `Tenant` object is to check `tenant.cancel`.
That check is incorrect [if the pageserver hosts multiple
shards](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7427#issuecomment-2220577518).
I'll fix that in a future PR where I completely eliminate the holding
of `Tenant/Timeline` objects across requests.
See [my code RFC](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8286) for
the
high level idea.
Note that we can always bring the tracing functionality if we need it.
But since it's actually about logging the `page_service` wire bytes,
it should be a `page_service`-level config option, not per-Tenant.
And for enabling tracing on a single connection, we can implement
a `set pageserver_trace_connection;` option.
Set core rmilit to ulimited in compute_ctl, so that all child processes
inherit it. We could also set rlimit in relevant startup script, but
that way we would depend on external setup and might inadvertently
disable it again (core dumping worked in pods, but not in VMs with
inittab-based startup).
## Problem
- The condition for eviction is not time-based: it is possible for a
timeline to be restored in response to a client, that client times out,
and then as soon as the timeline is restored it is immediately evicted
again.
- There is no delay on eviction at startup of the safekeeper, so when it
starts up and sees many idle timelines, it does many evictions which
will likely be immediately restored when someone uses the timeline.
## Summary of changes
- Add `eviction_min_resident` parameter, and use it in
`ready_for_eviction` to avoid evictions if the timeline has been
resident for less than this period.
- This also implicitly delays evictions at startup for
`eviction_min_resident`
- Set this to a very low number for the existing eviction test, which
expects immediate eviction.
The default period is 15 minutes. The general reasoning for that is that
in the worst case where we thrash ~10k timelines on one safekeeper,
downloading 16MB for each one, we should set a period that would not
overwhelm the node's bandwidth.
Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8002. This pull
request adds a k-merge iterator for bottom-most compaction.
## Summary of changes
* Added back lsn_range / key_range in delta layer inner. This was
removed due to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8050, but added
back because iterators need that information to process lazy loading.
* Added lazy-loading k-merge iterator.
* Added iterator wrapper as a unified iterator type for image+delta
iterator.
The current status and test should cover the use case for L0 compaction
so that the L0 compaction process can bypass page cache and have a fixed
amount of memory usage. The next step is to integrate this with the new
bottom-most compaction.

## Problem
This test incorrectly assumed that a post-split compaction would only
drop content. This was easily destabilized by any changes to image
generation rules.
## Summary of changes
- Before split, do a full image layer generation pass, to guarantee that
post-split compaction should only drop data, never create it.
- Fix the force_image_layer_creation mode of compaction that we use from
tests like this: previously it would try and generate image layers even
if one already existed with the same layer key, which caused compaction
to fail.

We don't use these methods anyway in practice, but, there have been some
objections to removing the functionality completely.
So, this PR preserves the existing functionality but moves it into the
HTTP management API.

All errors are mapped to `ApiError::InternalServerError`.
## Problem
Slack thread:
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1720511577862519
We're seeing OOMs in staging on a pageserver that has
l0_flush.mode=Direct enabled.
There's a strong correlation between jumps in `maxrss_kb` and
`pageserver_timeline_ephemeral_bytes`, so, it's quite likely that
l0_flush.mode=Direct is the culprit.
Notably, the expected max memory usage on that staging server by the
l0_flush.mode=Direct is ~2GiB but we're seeing as much as 24GiB max RSS
before the OOM kill.
One hypothesis is that we're dropping the semaphore permit before all
the dirtied pages have been flushed to disk. (The flushing to disk
likely happens in the fsync inside the `.finish()` call, because we're
using ext4 in data=ordered mode).
## Summary of changes
Hold the permit until after we're done with `.finish()`.
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/14024, k8s does not
always have a volume available for logging, and I'm running into weird

temp directories for logging, I think it would be better to just disable
file logging as k8s containers are ephemeral and we cannot retrieve
anything on the fs after the container gets removed.

## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8161, we changed the path
to Neon artefacts by adding commit sha to it, but we missed adding these
changes to `promote-compatibility-data` job that we use for
backward/forward- compatibility testing.
## Summary of changes
- Add commit sha to `promote-compatibility-data`
## Summary of changes
Increase the `assert_size_approx_equal` threshold to avoid flakiness of
`test_lsn_lease_size`. Still needs more investigation to fully resolve
#8293.
- Also set `autovacuum=off` for the endpoint we are running in the test.
Signed-off-by: Yuchen Liang <yuchen@neon.tech>
## Problem
`test_timeline_size_quota_on_startup` assumed that writing data beyond
the size limit would always be blocked. This is not so: the limit is
only enforced if feedback makes it back from the pageserver to the
safekeeper + compute.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6562
## Summary of changes
- Modify the test to wait for the pageserver to catch up. The size limit
was never actually being enforced robustly, the original version of this
test was just writing much more than 30MB and about 98% of the time
getting lucky such that the feedback happened to arrive before the tests
for loop was done.
- If the test fails, log the logical size as seen by the pageserver.
## Problem
Debug-mode runs of test_pg_regress are rather slow since
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8105, and occasionally exceed
their 600s timeout.
## Summary of changes
- Use 8MiB layer files, avoiding large ephemeral layers
On a hetzner AX102, this takes the runtime from 230s to 190s. Which
hopefully will be enough to get the runtime on github runners more
reliably below its 600s timeout.
This has the side benefit of exercising more of the pageserver stack
(including compaction) under a workload that exercises a more diverse
set of postgres functionality than most of our tests.
## Problem
We currently use 'immediate' mode in the most commonly used shutdown
path, when the control plane calls a `compute_ctl` API to terminate
Postgres inside compute without waiting for the actual pod / VM
termination. Yet, 'immediate' shutdown doesn't create a shutdown
checkpoint and ROs have bad times figuring out the list of running xacts
during next start.
## Summary of changes
Use 'fast' mode, which creates a shutdown checkpoint that is important
for ROs to get a list of running xacts faster instead of going through
the CLOG. On the control plane side, we poll this `compute_ctl`
termination API for 10s, it should be enough as we don't really write
any data at checkpoint time. If it times out, we anyway switch to the
slow k8s-based termination.
See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/server-shutdown.html for the
list of modes and signals.
The default VM shutdown hook already uses `fast` mode, see [1]

## Problem
LSN Leases introduced in #8084 is a new API that is made shard-aware

## Problem
Rarely, a dbdir entry can exist with no `relmap_file_key` data. This
causes compaction to fail, because it assumes that if the database
exists, then so does the relmap file.
Basebackup already handled this using a boolean to record whether such a
key exists, but `collect_keyspace` didn't.
## Summary of changes
- Respect the flag for whether a relfilemap exists in collect_keyspace
- The reproducer for this issue will merge separately in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8232
These tests will help verify that replication, both physical and

## Summary of changes

The find-large-objects scrubber subcommand is quite fast if you run it
in an environment with low latency to the S3 bucket (say an EC2 instance
in the same region). However, the higher the latency gets, the slower
the command becomes. Therefore, add a concurrency param and make it
parallelized. This doesn't change that general relationship, but at
least lets us do multiple requests in parallel and therefore hopefully
faster.
Running with concurrency of 64 (default):
```

## Problem
Assume a timeline with the following workload: very slow ingest of
updates to a small number of keys that fit within the same partition (as decided by
`KeySpace::partition`). These tenants will create small L0 layers since due to time
based rolling, and, consequently, the L1 layers will also be small.
Currently, by default, we need to ingest 512 MiB of WAL before checking
if an image layer is required. This scheme works fine under the assumption that L1s are roughly of
checkpoint distance size, but as the first paragraph explained, that's not the case for all workloads.
## Summary of changes
Check if new image layers are required at least once every checkpoint timeout interval.
## Problem
Safekeepers left running for a long time use a lot of memory (up to the
point of OOMing, on small nodes) for deleted timelines, because the
`Timeline` struct is kept alive as a guard against recreating deleted
timelines.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6810
## Summary of changes
- Create separate tombstones that just record a ttid and when the
timeline was deleted.
- Add a periodic housekeeping task that cleans up tombstones older than
a hardcoded TTL (24h)
I think this also makes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6766
un-needed, as the tombstone is also checked during deletion.
I considered making the overall timeline map use an enum type containing
active or deleted, but having a separate map of tombstones avoids
bloating that map, so that calls like `get()` can still go straight to a
timeline without having to walk a hashmap that also contains tombstones.
## Problem
This test directly manages locations on pageservers and configuration of
an endpoint. However, it did not switch off the parts of the storage
controller that attempt to do the same: occasionally, the test would
fail in a strange way such as a compute failing to accept a
reconfiguration request.
## Summary of changes
- Wire up the storage controller's compute notification hook to a no-op
handler
- Configure the tenant's scheduling policy to Stop.
## Problem

`approximate_working_set_size` is preserved for backward compatibility.

## Problem
When generations were new, these messages were an important way of
noticing if something unexpected was going on. We found some real issues
when investigating tests that unexpectedly tripped them.
At time has gone on, this code is now pretty battle-tested, and as we do
more live migrations etc, it's fairly normal to see the occasional
message from a node with a stale generation.
At this point the cognitive load on developers to selectively allow-list
these logs outweighs the benefit of having them at warn severity.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8080

## Problem
The metrics we have today aren't convenient for planning around the
impact of timeline archival on costs.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8108
## Summary of changes
- Add metric `pageserver_archive_size`, which indicates the logical
bytes of data which we would expect to write into an archived branch.
- Add metric `pageserver_pitr_history_size`, which indicates the
distance between last_record_lsn and the PITR cutoff.
These metrics are somewhat temporary: when we implement #8088 and
associated consumption metric changes, these will reach a final form.
For now, an "archived" branch is just any branch outside of its parent's
PITR window: later, archival will become an explicit state (which will
_usually_ correspond to falling outside the parent's PITR window).
The overall volume of timeline metrics is something to watch, but we are
removing many more in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8245
than this PR is adding.
I'd like to add some constraints to the layer map we generate in tests.
(1) is the layer map that the current compaction algorithm will produce.
There is a property that for all delta layer, all delta layer overlaps
with it on the LSN axis will have the same LSN range.
(2) is the layer map that cannot be produced with the legacy compaction
algorithm.
(3) is the layer map that will be produced by the future
tiered-compaction algorithm. The current validator does not allow that
but we can modify the algorithm to allow it in the future.
## Summary of changes
Add a validator to check if the layer map is valid and refactor the test
cases to include delta layer start/end LSN.

PR #8106 was created with the assumption that no blob is larger than
`256 MiB`. Due to #7852 we have checking for *writes* of blobs larger
than that limit, but we didn't have checking for *reads* of such large
blobs: in theory, we could be reading these blobs every day but we just
don't happen to write the blobs for some reason.
Therefore, we now add a warning for *reads* of such large blobs as well.
To make deploying compression less dangerous, we therefore only assume a
blob is compressed if the compression setting is present in the config.
This also means that we can't back out of compression once we enabled
it.

```
This is happening because Tenant::shutdown fires its cancellation token
early if the tenant is not fully attached by the time shutdown is
called, so the flush loop is shutdown by the time we try and flush.
## Summary of changes
- In the early-cancellation case, also set the shutdown mode to Hard to
skip trying to do a flush that will fail.

GitHub Actions complain that we use actions that depend on deprecated
Node 16:
```
Node.js 16 actions are deprecated. Please update the following actions to use Node.js 20: docker/setup-buildx-action@v2

All the code to ensure the WAL record lands at a page boundary was
unnecessary for reproducing the original problem. In fact, it's a pretty
basic test that checks that outbound replication (= neon as publisher)
still works after restarting the endpoint. It just used to be very
broken before commit 5ceccdc7de, which also added this test.
To verify that:
1. Check out commit f3af5f4660 (because the next commit, 7dd58e1449,
fixed the same bug in a different way, making it infeasible to revert
the bug fix in an easy way)
2. Revert the bug fix from commit 5ceccdc7de with this:
```

## Problem
Some of the Nightly benchmarks fail with the error
```
+ /tmp/neon/pg_install/v14/bin/pgbench --version
/tmp/neon/pg_install/v14/bin/pgbench: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
Originally, we added the `pgbench --version` call to check that
`pgbench` is installed and to fail earlier if it's not.
The failure happens because we don't have `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` set for
every job, and it also affects `psql` command.
We can move it to `actions/run-python-test-set` so as not to duplicate
code (as it already have `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` set).
## Summary of changes
- Remove `pgbench --version` call
- Move `psql` commands to common `actions/run-python-test-set`
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7418
# Motivation
(reproducing #7418)
When we do an `InMemoryLayer::write_to_disk`, there is a tremendous
amount of random read I/O, as deltas from the ephemeral file (written in
LSN order) are written out to the delta layer in key order.
In benchmarks (https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7409) we can
see that this delta layer writing phase is substantially more expensive
than the initial ingest of data, and that within the delta layer write a
significant amount of the CPU time is spent traversing the page cache.
# High-Level Changes
Add a new mode for L0 flush that works as follows:
* Read the full ephemeral file into memory -- layers are much smaller
than total memory, so this is afforable
* Do all the random reads directly from this in memory buffer instead of
using blob IO/page cache/disk reads.
* Add a semaphore to limit how many timelines may concurrently do this
(limit peak memory).
* Make the semaphore configurable via PS config.
# Implementation Details
The new `BlobReaderRef::Slice` is a temporary hack until we can ditch
`blob_io` for `InMemoryLayer` => Plan for this is laid out in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8183
# Correctness
The correctness of this change is quite obvious to me: we do what we did
before (`blob_io`) but read from memory instead of going to disk.
The highest bug potential is in doing owned-buffers IO. I refactored the
API a bit in preliminary PR
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8186 to make it less
error-prone, but still, careful review is requested.
# Performance
I manually measured single-client ingest performance from `pgbench -i
...`.
Full report:
https://neondatabase.notion.site/2024-06-28-benchmarking-l0-flush-performance-e98cff3807f94cb38f2054d8c818fe84?pvs=4
tl;dr:
* no speed improvements during ingest, but
* significantly lower pressure on PS PageCache (eviction rate drops to
1/3)
* (that's why I'm working on this)
* noticable but modestly lower CPU time
This is good enough for merging this PR because the changes require
opt-in.
We'll do more testing in staging & pre-prod.
# Stability / Monitoring
**memory consumption**: there's no _hard_ limit on max `InMemoryLayer`
size (aka "checkpoint distance") , hence there's no hard limit on the
memory allocation we do for flushing. In practice, we a) [log a
warning](23827c6b0d/pageserver/src/tenant/timeline.rs (L5741-L5743))
when we flush oversized layers, so we'd know which tenant is to blame
and b) if we were to put a hard limit in place, we would have to decide
what to do if there is an InMemoryLayer that exceeds the limit.
It seems like a better option to guarantee a max size for frozen layer,
dependent on `checkpoint_distance`. Then limit concurrency based on
that.
**metrics**: we do have the
[flush_time_histo](23827c6b0d/pageserver/src/tenant/timeline.rs (L3725-L3726)),
but that includes the wait time for the semaphore. We could add a
separate metric for the time spent after acquiring the semaphore, so one
can infer the wait time. Seems unnecessary at this point, though.
Add support for reading and writing zstd-compressed blobs for use in
image layer generation, but maybe one day useful also for delta layers.
The reading of them is unconditional while the writing is controlled by
the `image_compression` config variable allowing for experiments.
For the on-disk format, we re-use some of the bitpatterns we currently
keep reserved for blobs larger than 256 MiB. This assumes that we have
never ever written any such large blobs to image layers.
After the preparation in #7852, we now are unable to read blobs with a
size larger than 256 MiB (or write them).
A non-goal of this PR is to come up with good heuristics of when to
compress a bitpattern. This is left for future work.
Parts of the PR were inspired by #7091.

## Problem
At high percentiles we see more than 800 layers being visited by the
read path. We need the tenant/timeline to investigate.
## Summary of changes
Add a rate limited log line when the average number of layers visited
per key is in the last specified histogram bucket.
I plan to use this to identify tenants in us-east-2 staging that exhibit
this behaviour. Will revert before next week's release.
Before this PR, during timeline shutdown, we'd occasionally see
log lines like this one:
```

We can eliminate the anyhow backtrace with no loss of information
because the conversion to anyhow::Error happens in exactly one place.
refs #7427
## Problem
Tenant attachment has error paths for failures to write local
configuration, but these types of local storage I/O errors should be
considered fatal for the process. Related thread on an earlier PR that
touched this code:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7947#discussion_r1655134114
## Summary of changes
- Make errors writing tenant config fatal (abort process)
- When reading tenant config, make all I/O errors except ENOENT fatal
- Replace use of bare anyhow errors with `LoadConfigError`
Before this PR, `RemoteStorageConfig::from_toml` would support
deserializing an
empty `{}` TOML inline table to a `None`, otherwise try `Some()`.
We can instead let
* in proxy: let clap derive handle the Option
* in PS & SK: assume that if the field is specified, it must be a valid
RemtoeStorageConfig
(This PR started with a much simpler goal of factoring out the
`deserialize_item` function because I need that in another PR).

This makes it much more convenient to use in the common case that you
want to flush all the WAL. (Passing pg_current_wal_insert_lsn() as the
argument doesn't work for the same reasons as explained in the comments:
we need to be back off to the beginning of a page if the previous record
ended at page boundary.)
I plan to use this to fix the issue that Arseny Sher called out at
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7288#discussion_r1660063852
## Problem
We use `build-tools` image as a base image to build other images, and it
has a pretty old `libpq-dev` installed (v13; it wasn't that old until I
removed system Postgres 14 from `build-tools` image in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6540)
## Summary of changes
- Remove `libpq-dev` from `build-tools` image
- Set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` for tests (for different Postgres binaries that
we use, like psql and pgbench)
- Set `PQ_LIB_DIR` to build Storage Controller
- Set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`/`DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` in the Storage Controller
where it calls Postgres binaries
## Problem

We have one pretty serious MVCC visibility bug with hot standby
replicas. We incorrectly treat any transactions that are in progress
in the primary, when the standby is started, as aborted. That can
break MVCC for queries running concurrently in the standby. It can
also lead to hint bits being set incorrectly, and that damage can last
until the replica is restarted.
The fundamental bug was that we treated any replica start as starting
from a shut down server. The fix for that is straightforward: we need
to set 'wasShutdown = false' in InitWalRecovery() (see changes in the
postgres repo).
However, that introduces a new problem: with wasShutdown = false, the
standby will not open up for queries until it receives a running-xacts
WAL record from the primary. That's correct, and that's how Postgres
hot standby always works. But it's a problem for Neon, because:
* It changes the historical behavior for existing users. Currently,
the standby immediately opens up for queries, so if they now need to
wait, we can breka existing use cases that were working fine
(assuming you don't hit the MVCC issues).
* The problem is much worse for Neon than it is for standalone
PostgreSQL, because in Neon, we can start a replica from an
arbitrary LSN. In standalone PostgreSQL, the replica always starts
WAL replay from a checkpoint record, and the primary arranges things
so that there is always a running-xacts record soon after each
checkpoint record. You can still hit this issue with PostgreSQL if
you have a transaction with lots of subtransactions running in the
primary, but it's pretty rare in practice.
To mitigate that, we introduce another way to collect the
running-xacts information at startup, without waiting for the
running-xacts WAL record: We can the CLOG for XIDs that haven't been
marked as committed or aborted. It has limitations with
subtransactions too, but should mitigate the problem for most users.

The 'running' boolean was replaced with a semaphore in commit
f0e2bb79b2, but this initialization was missed. Remove it so that if a
test tries to access it, you get an error rather than always claiming
that the endpoint is not running.

## Problem
"John pointed out that the switch to protocol version 2 made
test_gc_aggressive test flaky:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7692.
I tracked it down, and that is indeed an issue. Conditions for hitting
the issue:
The problem occurs in the primary
GC horizon is set to a very low value, e.g. 0.
If the primary is actively writing WAL, and GC runs in the pageserver at
the same time that the primary sends a GetPage request, it's possible
that the GC advances the GC horizon past the GetPage request's LSN. I'm
working on a fix here: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7708."

## Problem
- #7451
INIT_FORKNUM blocks must be stored on shard 0 to enable including them
in basebackup.
This issue can be missed in simple tests because creating an unlogged
table isn't sufficient -- to repro I had to create an _index_ on an
unlogged table (then restart the endpoint).
Closes: #7451
## Summary of changes
- Add a reproducer for the issue.
- Tweak the condition for `key_is_shard0` to include anything that isn't
a normal relation block _and_ any normal relation block whose forknum is
INIT_FORKNUM.
- To enable existing databases to recover from the issue, add a special
case that omits relations if they were stored on the wrong INITFORK.
This enables postgres to start and the user to drop the table and
recreate it.
Part of neondatabase/cloud#12047.
The basic idea is that for our VMs, we want to enable swap and disable
Linux memory overcommit. Alongside these, we should set postgres'
dynamic_shared_memory_type to mmap, but we want to avoid setting it to
mmap if swap is not enabled.
Implementing this in the control plane would be fiddly, but it's
relatively straightforward to add to compute_ctl.
Manual testing of the changes in #7160 revealed that, if the
thread-local destructor ever runs (it apparently doesn't in our test
suite runs, otherwise #7160 would not have auto-merged), we can
encounter an `abort()` due to a double-panic in the tracing code.
This github comment here contains the stack trace:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7160#issuecomment-2003778176
This PR reverts #7160 and uses a atomic counter to identify the
thread-local in log messages, instead of the memory address of the
thread local, which may be re-used.
The PR #7141 added log message
```
ThreadLocalState is being dropped and id might be re-used in the future
```
which was supposed to be emitted when the thread-local is destroyed.
Instead, it was emitted on _each_ call to `thread_local_system()`,
ie.., on each tokio-epoll-uring operation.
## Problem
Previously we always wrote out both legacy and modern tenant config
files. The legacy write enabled rollbacks, but we are long past the
point where that is needed.
We still need the legacy format for situations where someone is running
tenants without generations (that will be yanked as well eventually),
but we can avoid writing it out at all if we do have a generation number
set. We implicitly also avoid writing the legacy config if our mode is
Secondary (secondary mode is newer than generations).
## Summary of changes
- Make writing legacy tenant config conditional on there being no
generation number set.

There is currently no cleanup done after a delta layer creation error,
so delta layers can accumulate. The problem gets worse as the operation
gets retried and delta layers accumulate on the disk. Therefore, delete
them from disk (if something has been written to disk).
## Problem
When a tenant is in Attaching state, and waiting for the
`concurrent_tenant_warmup` semaphore, it also listens for the tenant
cancellation token. When that token fires, Tenant::attach drops out.
Meanwhile, Tenant::set_stopping waits forever for the tenant to exit
Attaching state.
Fixes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6423
## Summary of changes
- In the absence of a valid state for the tenant, it is set to Broken in
this path. A more elegant solution will require more refactoring, beyond
this minimal fix.

Otherwise they are left orphaned when compute_ctl is terminated with a
signal. It was invisible most of the time because normally neon_local or k8s
kills postgres directly and then compute_ctl finishes gracefully. However, in
some tests compute_ctl gets stuck waiting for sync-safekeepers which
intentionally never ends because safekeepers are offline, and we want to stop
compute_ctl without leaving orphanes behind.
This is a quite rough approach which doesn't wait for children termination. A
better way would be to convert compute_ctl to async which would make waiting
easy.

- Avoid counting startup completions for tenants launched after startup
- exclude no-op cases from timing histograms
- remove a rogue log messages
Error indicating request cancellation OR timeline shutdown was deemed as
a reason to exit the background worker that calculated synthetic size.
Fix it to only be considered for avoiding logging such of such errors.
This conflicted on tenant_shard_id having already replaced tenant_id on
`main`.
```

```
Only applicable change was neondatabase/autoscaling#584, setting
pgbouncer auth_dbname=postgres in order to fix superuser connections
from preventing dropping databases.
Only applicable change was neondatabase/autoscaling#571, removing the
postgres_exporter flags `--auto-discover-databases` and
`--exclude-databases=...`
## Problem
Logical replication requires new AUX_FILES_KEY which is definitely
absent in existed database.
We do not have function to check if key exists in our KV storage.
So I have to handle the error in `list_aux_files` method.
But this key is also included in key space range and accessed y
`create_image_layer` method.
## Summary of changes
Check if AUX_FILES_KEY exists before including it in keyspace.

Fixes an issue we observed on staging that happens when the
autoscaler-agent attempts to immediately downscale the VM after binding,
which is typical for pooled computes.
The issue was occurring because the autoscaler-agent was requesting
downscaling before the vm-monitor had gathered sufficient cgroup memory
stats to be confident in approving it. When the vm-monitor returned an
internal error instead of denying downscaling, the autoscaler-agent
retried the connection and immediately hit the same issue (in part
because cgroup stats are collected per-connection, rather than
globally).
There's currently an issue with the vm-monitor on staging that's not
really feasible to debug because the current display impl gives no
context to the errors (just says "failed to downscale").
Logging the full error should help.
For communications with the autoscaler-agent, it's ok to only provide
the outermost cause, because we can cross-reference with the VM logs.
At some point in the future, we may want to change that.
tl;dr it's really hard to avoid throttling from memory.high, and it
counts tmpfs & page cache usage, so it's also hard to make sense of.
In the interest of fixing things quickly with something that should be
*good enough*, this PR switches to instead periodically fetch memory
statistics from the cgroup's memory.stat and use that data to determine
if and when we should upscale.
This PR fixes#5444, which has a lot more detail on the difficulties
we've hit with memory.high. This PR also supersedes #5488.
Before this PR, when we restarted pageserver, we'd see a rush of
`$number_of_tenants` concurrent eviction tasks starting to do imitate
accesses building up in the period of `[init_order allows activations,
$random_access_delay + EvictionPolicyLayerAccessThreshold::period]`.
We simply cannot handle that degree of concurrent IO.
We already solved the problem for compactions by adding a semaphore.
So, this PR shares that semaphore for use by evictions.
Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/5479
Which is again part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4743
Risks / Changes In System Behavior
==================================
* we don't do evictions as timely as we currently do
* we log a bunch of warnings about eviction taking too long
* imitate accesses and compactions compete for the same concurrency
limit, so, they'll slow each other down through this shares semaphore
Changes
=======
- Move the `CONCURRENT_COMPACTIONS` semaphore into `tasks.rs`
- Rename it to `CONCURRENT_BACKGROUND_TASKS`
- Use it also for the eviction imitate accesses:
- Imitate acceses are both per-TIMELINE and per-TENANT
- The per-TENANT is done through coalescing all the per-TIMELINE
tasks via a tokio mutex `eviction_task_tenant_state`.
- We acquire the CONCURRENT_BACKGROUND_TASKS permit early, at the
beginning of the eviction iteration, much before the imitate
acesses start (and they may not even start at all in the given
iteration, as they happen only every $threshold).
- Acquiring early is **sub-optimal** because when the per-timline
tasks coalesce on the `eviction_task_tenant_state` mutex,
they are already holding a CONCURRENT_BACKGROUND_TASKS permit.
- It's also unfair because tenants with many timelines win
the CONCURRENT_BACKGROUND_TASKS more often.
- I don't think there's another way though, without refactoring
more of the imitate accesses logic, e.g, making it all per-tenant.
- Add metrics for queue depth behind the semaphore.
I found these very useful to understand what work is queued in the
system.
- The metrics are tagged by the new `BackgroundLoopKind`.
- On a green slate, I would have used `TaskKind`, but we already had
pre-existing labels whose names didn't map exactly to task kind.
Also the task kind is kind of a lower-level detail, so, I think
it's fine to have a separate enum to identify background work kinds.
Future Work
===========
I guess I could move the eviction tasks from a ticker to "sleep for
$period".
The benefit would be that the semaphore automatically "smears" the
eviction task scheduling over time, so, we only have the rush on restart
but a smeared-out rush afterward.
The downside is that this perverts the meaning of "$period", as we'd
actually not run the eviction at a fixed period. It also means the the
"took to long" warning & metric becomes meaningless.
Then again, that is already the case for the compaction and gc tasks,
which do sleep for `$period` instead of using a ticker.

increase timeouts on their CI), for us, these are a noop changes,
but unfortunately, this will cause our builds to fail due to checksums

When you log more than a few blocks, you need to reserve the space in
advance. We didn't do that, so we got errors. Now we do that, and

The sequence that can lead to a deadlock:
1. DELETE request gets all the way to `tenant.shutdown(progress,
false).await.is_err() ` , while holding TENANTS.read()
2. POST request for tenant creation comes in, calls `tenant_map_insert`,
it does `let mut guard = TENANTS.write().await;`
3. Something that `tenant.shutdown()` needs to wait for needs a
`TENANTS.read().await`.
The only case identified in exhaustive manual scanning of the code base
is this one:
Imitate size access does `get_tenant().await`, which does
`TENANTS.read().await` under the hood.
In the above case (1) waits for (3), (3)'s read-lock request is queued
behind (2)'s write-lock, and (2) waits for (1).
Deadlock.

We were returning Pending when a connection had a notice/notification

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.
## Problem
If we fail to wake up the compute node, a subsequent connect attempt
will definitely fail. However, kubernetes won't fail the connection
immediately, instead it hangs until we timeout (10s).
## Summary of changes
Refactor the loop to allow fast retries of compute_wake and to skip a
connect attempt.
## Problem
#4598 compute nodes are not accessible some time after wake up due to
kubernetes DNS not being fully propagated.
## Summary of changes
Update connect retry mechanism to support handling IO errors and
sleeping for 100ms

The consumption metrics synthetic size worker does logical size calculation.
Logical size calculation currently does synchronous disk IO.
This blocks the MGMT_REQUEST_RUNTIME's executor threads, starving other futures.
While there's work on the way to move the synchronous disk IO into spawn_blocking,
the quickfix here is to use the BACKGROUND_RUNTIME instead of MGMT_REQUEST_RUNTIME.
Actually it's not just a quickfix. We simply shouldn't be blocking MGMT_REQUEST_RUNTIME
executor threads on CPU or sync disk IO.
That work isn't done yet, as many of the mgmt tasks still _do_ disk IO.
But it's not as intensive as the logical size calculations that we're fixing here.
While we're at it, fix disk-usage-based eviction in a similar way.
It wasn't the culprit here, according to prod logs, but it can theoretically be
a little CPU-intensive.

(cherry picked from commit d6e35222ea)
This commit introduces an SQL-over-HTTP endpoint in the proxy, with a JSON
response structure resembling that of the node-postgres driver. This method,
using HTTP POST, achieves smaller amortized latencies in edge setups due to
fewer round trips and an enhanced open connection reuse by the v8 engine.
This update involves several intricacies:
1. SQL injection protection: We employed the extended query protocol, modifying
the rust-postgres driver to send queries in one roundtrip using a text
protocol rather than binary, bypassing potential issues like those identified
in https://github.com/sfackler/rust-postgres/issues/1030.
2. Postgres type compatibility: As not all postgres types have binary
representations (e.g., acl's in pg_class), we adjusted rust-postgres to
respond with text protocol, simplifying serialization and fixing queries with
text-only types in response.
3. Data type conversion: Considering JSON supports fewer data types than
Postgres, we perform conversions where possible, passing all other types as
strings. Key conversions include:
- postgres int2, int4, float4, float8 -> json number (NaN and Inf remain
text)
- postgres bool, null, text -> json bool, null, string
- postgres array -> json array
- postgres json and jsonb -> json object
4. Alignment with node-postgres: To facilitate integration with js libraries,
we've matched the response structure of node-postgres, returning command tags
and column oids. Command tag capturing was added to the rust-postgres
functionality as part of this change.
## Problem
Compatibility tests don't support Postgres 15 yet, but we're still
trying to upload compatibility snapshot (which we do not collect).

As noted in PR #4094, we do in fact try to insert duplicates to the
layer map, if L0->L1 compaction is interrupted. We do not have a proper
fix for that right now, and we are in a hurry to make a release to
production, so revert the changes related to this to the state that we
have in production currently. We know that we have a bug here, but
better to live with the bug that we've had in production for a long
time, than rush a fix to production without testing it in staging first.

previously we applied the ratelimiting only up to receiving the headers

the permit until the AsyncRead has been disposed.
fixes#3662.
Calculation of logical size is now async because of layer downloads, so
we shouldn't use spawn_blocking for it. Use of `spawn_blocking`
exhausted resources which are needed by `tokio::io::copy` when copying
from a stream to a file which lead to deadlock.
Fixes: #3657
these are happening in tests because of #3655 but they sure took some
time to appear.
makes the `Compaction failed, retrying in 2s: Cannot run compaction
iteration on inactive tenant` into a globally allowed error, because it
has been seen failing on different test cases.
Small changes, but hopefully this will help with the panic detected in
staging, for which we cannot get the debugging information right now
(end-of-branch before branch-point).
Before only the timelines which have passed the `gc_horizon` were
processed which failed with orphans at the tree_sort phase. Example
input in added `test_branched_empty_timeline_size` test case.
The PR changes iteration to happen through all timelines, and in
addition to that, any learned branch points will be calculated as they
would had been in the original implementation if the ancestor branch had
been over the `gc_horizon`.
This also changes how tenants where all timelines are below `gc_horizon`
are handled. Previously tenant_size 0 was returned, but now they will
have approximately `initdb_lsn` worth of tenant_size.
The PR also adds several new tenant size tests that describe various corner
cases of branching structure and `gc_horizon` setting.
They are currently disabled to not consume time during CI.

Previously, we were trying to re-assign owned objects of the already
deleted role. This were causing a crash loop in the case when compute
was restarted with a spec that includes delta operation for role
deletion. To avoid such cases, check that role is still present before
calling `reassign_owned_objects`.

This reverts commit 826e89b9ce.
The problem with that commit was that it deletes the TempDir while
there are still EphemeralFile instances open.
At first I thought this could be fixed by simply adding
Handle::current().block_on(task_mgr::shutdown(None, Some(tenant_id), None))
to TenantHarness::drop, but it turned out to be insufficient.
So, reverting the commit until we find a proper solution.

Refactors Compute::prepare_and_run. It's split into subroutines
differently, to make it easier to attach tracing spans to the
different stages. The high-level logic for waiting for Postgres to
exit is moved to the caller.
Replace 'env_logger' with 'tracing', and add `#instrument` directives
to different stages fo the startup process. This is a fairly
mechanical change, except for the changes in 'spec.rs'. 'spec.rs'
contained some complicated formatting, where parts of log messages
were printed directly to stdout with `print`s. That was a bit messed
up because the log normally goes to stderr, but those lines were
printed to stdout. In our docker images, stderr and stdout both go to
the same place so you wouldn't notice, but I don't think it was
intentional.
This changes the log format to the default
'tracing_subscriber::format' format. It's different from the Postgres
log format, however, and because both compute_tools and Postgres print
to the same log, it's now a mix of two different formats. I'm not
sure how the Grafana log parsing pipeline can handle that. If it's a
problem, we can build custom formatter to change the compute_tools log
format to be the same as Postgres's, like it was before this commit,
or we can change the Postgres log format to match tracing_formatter's,
or we can start printing compute_tool's log output to a different
destination than Postgres
IMDSv2 has limits, and if we query it on every s3 interaction we are
going to go over those limits. Changes the s3_bucket client
configuration to use:
- ChainCredentialsProvider to handle env variables or imds usage
- LazyCachingCredentialsProvider to actually cache any credentials

plv8 can only be built with a fairly new gold linker version. We used to install
it via binutils packages from testing, but it also updates libc and that causes
troubles in the resulting image as different extensions were built against
different libc versions. We could either use libc from debian-testing everywhere
or restrain from using testing packages and install necessary programs manually.
This patch uses the latter approach: gold for plv8 and cmake for h3 are
installed manually.
In a passing declare h3_postgis as a safe extension (previous omission).
`GRANT CREATE ON SCHEMA public` fails if there is no schema `public`.
Disable it in release for now and make a better fix later (it is
needed for v15 support).

'bindings_v14' and 'bindings_v15' modules.
Rearrange postgres_ffi modules.
Move function, to avoid Postgres version dependency in timelines.rs
Move function to generate a logical-message WAL record to postgres_ffi.
* fix cargo test
* Fix walreceiver and safekeeper bugs (#2295)
- There was an issue with zero commit_lsn `reason: LaggingWal { current_commit_lsn: 0/0, new_commit_lsn: 1/6FD90D38, threshold: 10485760 } }`. The problem was in `send_wal.rs`, where we initialized `end_pos = Lsn(0)` and in some cases sent it to the pageserver.
- IDENTIFY_SYSTEM previously returned `flush_lsn` as a physical end of WAL. Now it returns `flush_lsn` (as it was) to walproposer and `commit_lsn` to everyone else including pageserver.
- There was an issue with backoff where connection was cancelled right after initialization: `connected!` -> `safekeeper_handle_db: Connection cancelled` -> `Backoff: waiting 3 seconds`. The problem was in sleeping before establishing the connection. This is fixed by reworking retry logic.
- There was an issue with getting `NoKeepAlives` reason in a loop. The issue is probably the same as the previous.
- There was an issue with filtering safekeepers based on retry attempts, which could filter some safekeepers indefinetely. This is fixed by using retry cooldown duration instead of retry attempts.
- Some `send_wal.rs` connections failed with errors without context. This is fixed by adding a timeline to safekeepers errors.
New retry logic works like this:
- Every candidate has a `next_retry_at` timestamp and is not considered for connection until that moment
- When walreceiver connection is closed, we update `next_retry_at` using exponential backoff, increasing the cooldown on every disconnect.
- When `last_record_lsn` was advanced using the WAL from the safekeeper, we reset the retry cooldown and exponential backoff, allowing walreceiver to reconnect to the same safekeeper instantly.

* Fix links to safekeeper protocol docs. (#2188)
safekeeper/README_PROTO.md was moved to docs/safekeeper-protocol.md in
commit 0b14fdb078, as part of reorganizing the docs into 'mdbook' format.
Fixes issue #1475. Thanks to @banks for spotting the outdated references.
In addition to fixing the above issue, this patch also fixes other broken links as a result of 0b14fdb078. See https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/2188#pullrequestreview-1055918480.

Commit 4227cfc96e accidentally reverted vendor/postgres to an older
version. Update it back.
* Add pageserver checkpoint_timeout option.
To flush inmemory layer eventually when no new data arrives, which helps
safekeepers to suspend activity (stop pushing to the broker). Default 10m should
be ok.
* Share exponential backoff code and fix logic for delete task failure (#2252)
* Fix bug when import large (>1GB) relations (#2172)
Resolves#2097
- use timeline modification's `lsn` and timeline's `last_record_lsn` to determine the corresponding LSN to query data in `DatadirModification::get`
- update `test_import_from_pageserver`. Split the test into 2 variants: `small` and `multisegment`.
+ `small` is the old test
+ `multisegment` is to simulate #2097 by using a larger number of inserted rows to create multiple segment files of a relation. `multisegment` is configured to only run with a `release` build
* Fix timeline physical size flaky tests (#2244)
Resolves#2212.
- use `wait_for_last_flush_lsn` in `test_timeline_physical_size_*` tests
## Context
Need to wait for the pageserver to catch up with the compute's last flush LSN because during the timeline physical size API call, it's possible that there are running `LayerFlushThread` threads. These threads flush new layers into disk and hence update the physical size. This results in a mismatch between the physical size reported by the API and the actual physical size on disk.
### Note
The `LayerFlushThread` threads are processed **concurrently**, so it's possible that the above error still persists even with this patch. However, making the tests wait to finish processing all the WALs (not flushing) before calculating the physical size should help reduce the "flakiness" significantly
* postgres_ffi/waldecoder: validate more header fields
* postgres_ffi/waldecoder: remove unused startlsn
* postgres_ffi/waldecoder: introduce explicit `enum State`
Previously it was emulated with a combination of nullable fields.
This change should make the logic more readable.
* disable `test_import_from_pageserver_multisegment` (#2258)
This test failed consistently on `main` now. It's better to temporarily disable it to avoid blocking others' PRs while investigating the root cause for the test failure.
See: #2255, #2256
* get_binaries uses DOCKER_TAG taken from docker image build step (#2260)
* [proxy] Rework wire format of the password hack and some errors (#2236)
The new format has a few benefits: it's shorter, simpler and
human-readable as well. We don't use base64 anymore, since
url encoding got us covered.
We also show a better error in case we couldn't parse the
payload; the users should know it's all about passing the
correct project name.
* test_runner/pg_clients: collect docker logs (#2259)
* get_binaries script fix (#2263)
* get_binaries uses DOCKER_TAG taken from docker image build step
* remove docker tag discovery at all and fix get_binaries for version variable
* Better storage sync logs (#2268)
* Find end of WAL on safekeepers using WalStreamDecoder.
We could make it inside wal_storage.rs, but taking into account that
- wal_storage.rs reading is async
- we don't need s3 here
- error handling is different; error during decoding is normal
I decided to put it separately.
Test
cargo test test_find_end_of_wal_last_crossing_segment
prepared earlier by @yeputons passes now.
Fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/544https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/2004
Supersedes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/2066
* Improve walreceiver logic (#2253)
This patch makes walreceiver logic more complicated, but it should work better in most cases. Added `test_wal_lagging` to test scenarios where alive safekeepers can lag behind other alive safekeepers.
- There was a bug which looks like `etcd_info.timeline.commit_lsn > Some(self.local_timeline.get_last_record_lsn())` filtered all safekeepers in some strange cases. I removed this filter, it should probably help with #2237
- Now walreceiver_connection reports status, including commit_lsn. This allows keeping safekeeper connection even when etcd is down.
- Safekeeper connection now fails if pageserver doesn't receive safekeeper messages for some time. Usually safekeeper sends messages at least once per second.
- `LaggingWal` check now uses `commit_lsn` directly from safekeeper. This fixes the issue with often reconnects, when compute generates WAL really fast.
- `NoWalTimeout` is rewritten to trigger only when we know about the new WAL and the connected safekeeper doesn't stream any WAL. This allows setting a small `lagging_wal_timeout` because it will trigger only when we observe that the connected safekeeper has stuck.
* increase timeout in wait_for_upload to avoid spurious failures when testing with real s3
* Bump vendor/postgres to include XLP_FIRST_IS_CONTRECORD fix. (#2274)
* Set up a workflow to run pgbench against captest (#2077)
