In issue #5590 it was proposed to implement metrics for Azure blob
storage. This PR implements them except for the part that performs the
rename, which is left for a followup.
Closes#5590
The general partial backup idea is that each safekeeper keeps only one
partial segment in remote storage at a time. Sometimes this is not true,
for example if we uploaded object to S3 but got an error when tried to
remove the previous upload. In this case we still keep a list of all
potentially uploaded objects in safekeeper state.
This commit prints a warning to logs if there is too many objects in
safekeeper state. This is not expected and we should try to fix this
state, we can do this by running gc.
I haven't seen this being an issue anywhere, but printing a warning is
something that I wanted to do and forgot in initial PR.
## Problem
- Because GC exposes all errors as an anyhow::Error, we have
intermittent issues with spurious log errors during shutdown, e.g. in
this failure of a performance test
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/main/9300804302/index.html#suites/07874de07c4a1c9effe0d92da7755ebf/214a2154f6f0217a/
```
Gc failed 1 times, retrying in 2s: shutting down
```
GC really doesn't do a lot of complicated IO: it doesn't benefit from
the backtrace capabilities of anyhow::Error, and can be expressed more
robustly as an enum.
## Summary of changes
- Add GcError type and use it instead of anyhow::Error in GC functions
- In `gc_iteration_internal`, return GcError::Cancelled on shutdown
rather than Ok(()) (we only used Ok before because we didn't have a
clear cancellation error variant to use).
- In `gc_iteration_internal`, skip past timelines that are shutting
down, to avoid having to go through another GC iteration if we happen to
see a deleting timeline during a GC run.
- In `refresh_gc_info_internal`, avoid an error case where a timeline
might not be found after being looked up, by carrying an Arc<Timeline>
instead of a TimelineId between the first loop and second loop in the
function.
- In HTTP request handler, handle Cancelled variants as 503 instead of
turning all GC errors into 500s.
## Problem
In all cases, AncestorStopping is equivalent to Cancelled.
This became more obvious in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7912#discussion_r1620582309
when updating these error types.
## Summary of changes
- Remove AncestorStopping, always use Cancelled instead
This pull request adds necessary interfaces to deterministically create
scenarios we want to test. Simplify some test cases to use this
interface to make it stable + reproducible.
Compaction test will be able to use this interface. Also the upcoming
delete tombstone tests will use this interface to make test
reproducible.

This is a preparation for
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6337.
The idea is to add FullAccessTimeline, which will act as a guard for
tasks requiring access to WAL files. Eviction will be blocked on these
tasks and WAL won't be deleted from disk until there is at least one
active FullAccessTimeline.
To get FullAccessTimeline, tasks call `tli.full_access_guard().await?`.
After eviction is implemented, this function will be responsible for
downloading missing WAL file and waiting until the download finishes.
This commit also contains other small refactorings:
- Separate `get_tenant_dir` and `get_timeline_dir` functions for
building a local path. This is useful for looking at usages and finding
tasks requiring access to local filesystem.
- `timeline_manager` is now responsible for spawning all background
tasks
- WAL removal task is now spawned instantly after horizon is updated
## Problem
- Initial size calculations tend to fail with `Bad state (not active)`
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7911
## Summary of changes
- In `wait_lsn`, return WaitLsnError::Cancelled rather than BadState
when the state is Stopping
- Replace PageReconstructError's `Other` variant with a specific
`BadState` variant
- Avoid returning anyhow::Error from get_ready_ancestor_timeline -- this
was only used for the case where there was no ancestor. All callers of
this function had implicitly checked that the ancestor timeline exists
before calling it, so they can pass in the ancestor instead of handling
an error.
epoch is a historical and potentially confusing name. It semantically means
lastLogTerm from the raft paper, so let's use it.

## Problem
Looking at several noisy shutdown logs:
- In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7861 we're hitting a
log error with `InternalServerError(timeline shutting down\n'` on the
checkpoint API handler.
- In the field, we see initial_logical_size_calculation errors on
shutdown, via DownloadError
- In the field, we see errors logged from layer download code
(independent of the error propagated) during shutdown
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7861
## Summary of changes
The theme of these changes is to avoid propagating anyhow::Errors for
cases that aren't really unexpected error cases that we might want a
stacktrace for, and avoid "Other" error variants unless we really do
have unexpected error cases to propagate.
- On the flush_frozen_layers path, use the `FlushLayerError` type
throughout, rather than munging it into an anyhow::Error. Give
FlushLayerError an explicit from_anyhow helper that checks for timeline
cancellation, and uses it to give a Cancelled error instead of an Other
error when the timeline is shutting down.
- In logical size calculation, remove BackgroundCalculationError (this
type was just a Cancelled variant and an Other variant), and instead use
CalculateLogicalSizeError throughout. This can express a
PageReconstructError, and has a From impl that translates cancel-like
page reconstruct errors to Cancelled.
- Replace CalculateLogicalSizeError's Other(anyhow::Error) variant case
with a Decode(DeserializeError) variant, as this was the only kind of
error we actually used in the Other case.
- During layer download, drop out early if the timeline is shutting
down, so that we don't do an `error!()` log of the shutdown error in
this case.
Updates the `tokio-epoll-uring` dependency.
There is [only one change](342ddd197a...08ccfa94ff),
the adoption of linux-raw-sys for `statx` instead of using libc.
Part of #7889.
Consider the following sequence of migration:
```
1. user starts compute
2. force migrate to v2
3. user continues to write data
```
At the time of (3), the compute node is not aware that the page server
does not contain replication states any more, and might continue to
ingest neon-file records into the safekeeper. This will leave the
pageserver store a partial replication state and cause some errors. For
example, the compute could issue a deletion of some aux files in v1, but
this file does not exist in v2. Therefore, we should ignore all these
errors until everyone is migrated to v2.
Also note that if we see this warning in prod, it is likely because we
did not fully suspend users' compute when flipping the v1/v2 flag.

field2 of metadata keys can be 0xFFFF because of the mapping. Allow
0xFFFF for `to_i128`. An alternative is to encode 0xFFFF as 0xFFFFFFFF

## Problem
In 4ce6e2d2fc we added a warning when progress stats don't look right at
the end of a secondary download pass.
This `Correcting drift in progress stats` warning fired in staging on a
pageserver that had been doing some disk usage eviction.
The impact is low because in the same place we log the warning, we also
fix up the progress values.
## Summary of changes
- When we skip downloading a layer because it was recently evicted,
update the progress stats to ensure they still reach a clean complete
state at the end of a download pass.
- Also add a log for evicting secondary location layers, for symmetry
with attached locations, so that we can clearly see when eviction has
happened for a particular tenant's layers when investigating issues.
This is a point fix -- the code would also benefit from being refactored
so that there is some "download result" type with a Skip variant, to
ensure that we are updating the progress stats uniformly for those
cases.
## Problem
We want to regularly verify the performance of pgvector HNSW parallel

- Amend initialization code to handle multiple layers with the same
LayerName properly
- Get rid of of renaming bad layer files to `.old` since that's now
expected on restarts during rewrites.

* Make PS connection startup use async APIs
This allows for improved query cancellation when we start connections
* Make PS connections have per-shard connection retry state.
Previously they shared global backoff state, which is bad for quickly
getting all connections started and/or back online.
* Make sure we clean up most connection state on failed connections.
Previously, we could technically leak some resources that we'd otherwise
clean up. Now, the resources are correctly cleaned up.
* pagestore_smgr.c now PANICs on unexpected response message types.
Unexpected responses are likely a symptom of having a desynchronized
view of the connection state. As a desynchronized connection state can
cause corruption, we PANIC, as we don't know what data may have been
written to buffers: the only solution is to fail fast & hope we didn't
write wrong data.
* Catch errors in sync pagestream request handling.
Previously, if a query was cancelled after a message was sent to
the pageserver, but before the data was received, the backend
could forget that it sent the synchronous request, and let others
deal with the repercussions. This could then lead to incorrect
responses, or errors such as "unexpected response from page
server with tag 0x68"

Once upon a time, we used to have duplicated types for runtime IndexPart
and whatever we stored. Because of the serde fixes in #5335 we have no
need for duplicated IndexPart type anymore, but the `IndexLayerMetadata`
stayed.

- remove LayerFileMetadata::file_size() in favor of direct field access
Split off from #7833. Cc: #3072.
* Reduce the logging level for create image layers of metadata keys.
(question: is it possible to adjust logging levels at runtime?)
* Do a info logging of image layers only after the layer is created. Now
there are a lot of cases where we create the image layer writer but then
discarding that image layer because it does not contain any key.
Therefore, I changed the new image layer logging to trace, and create
image layer logging to info.

We'd like to get some bits reserved in the length field of image layers
for future usage (compression). This PR bases on the assumption that we
don't have any blobs that require more than 28 bits (3 bytes + 4 bits)
to store the length, but as a preparation, before erroring, we want to
first emit warnings as if the assumption is wrong, such warnings are less
disruptive than errors.
A metric would be even less disruptive (log messages are more slow, if
we have a LOT of such large blobs then it would take a lot of time to
print them). At the same time, likely such 256 MiB blobs will occupy an
entire layer file, as they are larger than our target size. For layer
files we already log something, so there shouldn't be a large increase
in overhead.

## Problem
By default, pgvector compiles with `-march=native` on some platforms for
best performance. However, this can lead to `Illegal instruction` errors
if trying to run the compiled extension on a different machine.
I had this problem when trying to run the Neon compute docker image on
MacOS with Apple Silicon with Rosetta.
see
ff9b22977e/README.md (L1021)
## Summary of changes
Pass OPTFLAGS="" to make.
I looked at the metrics from
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7768 on staging and it seems
that manager does too many iterations. This is probably caused by
background job `remove_wal.rs` which iterates over all timelines and
tries to remove WAL and persist control file. This causes shared state
updates and wakes up the manager. The fix is to skip notifying about the
updates if nothing was updated.
## Problem
We've seen some strange behaviors when doing lots of migrations
involving secondary locations. One of these was where a tenant was
apparently stuck in the `Scheduler::running` list, but didn't appear to
be making any progress. Another was a shutdown hang
(https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/13576).
## Summary of changes
- Fix one issue (probably not the only one) where a tenant in the
`pending` list could proceed to `spawn` even if the same tenant already
had a running task via `handle_command` (this could have resulted in a
weird value of SecondaryProgress)
- Add various extra logging:
- log before as well as after layer downloads so that it would be
obvious if we were stuck in remote storage code (we shouldn't be, it has
built in timeouts)
- log the number of running + pending jobs from the scheduler every time
it wakes up to do a scheduling iteration (~10s) -- this is quite chatty,
but not compared with the volume of logs on a busy pageserver. It should
give us confidence that the scheduler loop is still alive, and
visibility of how many tasks the scheduler thinks are running.
## Problem
This test relied on some sleeps, and was failing ~5% of the time.
## Summary of changes
Use log-watching rather than straight waits, and make timeouts more
generous for the CI environment.
## Problem
Despite making password hashing async, it can still take time away from
the network code.
## Summary of changes
Introduce a custom threadpool, inspired by rayon. Features:
### Fairness
Each task is tagged with it's endpoint ID. The more times we have seen
the endpoint, the more likely we are to skip the task if it comes up in
the queue. This is using a min-count-sketch estimator for the number of
times we have seen the endpoint, resetting it every 1000+ steps.
Since tasks are immediately rescheduled if they do not complete, the
worker could get stuck in a "always work available loop". To combat
this, we check the global queue every 61 steps to ensure all tasks
quickly get a worker assigned to them.
### Balanced
Using crossbeam_deque, like rayon does, we have workstealing out of the
box. I've tested it a fair amount and it seems to balance the workload
accordingly
## Problem
If an existing user already has some aux v1 files, we don't want to
switch them to the global tenant-level config.

Once all the computes in production have restarted, we can remove
protocol version 1 altogether.

This was done earlier already in commit 0115fe6cb2, but reverted before
it was released to production in commit bbe730d7ca because of issue
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7692. That issue was fixed
in commit 22afaea6e1, so we are ready to change the default again.
Don't set last-written LSN of a page when the record is replayed, only
when the page is evicted from cache. For comparison, we don't update
the last-written LSN on every page modification on the primary either,
only when the page is evicted. Do update the last-written LSN when the
page update is skipped in WAL redo, however.
In neon_get_request_lsns(), don't be surprised if the last-written LSN
is equal to the record being replayed. Use the LSN of the record being
replayed as the request LSN in that case. Add a long comment
explaining how that can happen.
In neon_wallog_page, update last-written LSN also when Shutdown has
been requested. We might still fetch and evict pages for a while,
after shutdown has been requested, so we better continue to do that
correctly.

We don't build our docker images for ARM arch, and that makes it harder
to run images on ARM (on MacBooks with Apple Silicon, for example).
## Summary of changes
- Build `neondatabase/neon` for ARM and create a multi-arch image
- Build `neondatabase/compute-node-vXX` for ARM and create a multi-arch
image
- Run `test-images` job on ARM as well
## Problem
Currently, `latest` tag is added to the images in several cases:
```
github.ref_name == 'main' || github.ref_name == 'release' || github.ref_name == 'release-proxy'
```
This leads to a race; the `latest` tag jumps back and forth depending on
the branch that has built images.
## Summary of changes
- Do not push `latest` images to prod ECR (we don't use it)
- Use `docker buildx imagetools` instead of `crane` for tagging images
- Unify `vm-compute-node-image` job with others and use dockerhub as a
first source for images (sync images with ECR)
- Tag images with `latest` only for commits in `main`

- 200 is used for "detached or has been detached previously"
- 400 is used for "cannot be detached right now" -- it's an odd thing,
but good enough

- 409 is used for "can never be detached" (root timeline)
- 500 is used for transient errors (basically ill-defined shutdown
errors)
- 503 is used for busy (other tenant ancestor detach underway,
pageserver shutdown)

- move the backup tar comparison as a yet another free utility function
- use backup tar comparison in `test_import.py` where a size check was
done previously
- cleanup extra timeline creation from test

Using InvalidateBuffer is wrong, because if the page is concurrently
dirtied, it will throw away the dirty page without calling
smgwrite(). In Neon, that means that the last-written LSN update for
the page is missed.
In v16, use the new InvalidateVictimBuffer() function that does what
we need. In v15 and v14, backport the InvalidateVictimBuffer()
function.

In the process_query function in page_service.rs there was some
redundant duplication. Remove it and create a vector of whitespace

Followup of #7815, requested in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7815#pullrequestreview-2068835674
In safekeepers we have several background tasks. Previously `WAL backup`
task was spawned by another task called `wal_backup_launcher`. That task
received notifications via `wal_backup_launcher_rx` and decided to spawn
or kill existing backup task associated with the timeline. This was
inconvenient because each code segment that touched shared state was
responsible for pushing notification into `wal_backup_launcher_tx`
channel. This was error prone because it's easy to miss and could lead
to deadlock in some cases, if notification pushing was done in the wrong
order.
We also had a similar issue with `is_active` timeline flag. That flag
was calculated based on the state and code modifying the state had to
call function to update the flag. We had a few bugs related to that,
when we forgot to update `is_active` flag in some places where it could
change.
To fix these issues, this PR adds a new `timeline_manager` background
task associated with each timeline. This task is responsible for
managing all background tasks, including `is_active` flag which is used
for pushing broker messages. It is subscribed for updates in timeline
state in a loop and decides to spawn/kill background tasks when needed.
There is a new structure called `TimelinesSet`. It stores a set of
`Arc<Timeline>` and allows to copy the set to iterate without holding
the mutex. This is what replaced `is_active` flag for the broker. Now
broker push task holds a reference to the `TimelinesSet` with active
timelines and use it instead of iterating over all timelines and
filtering by `is_active` flag.
Also added some metrics for manager iterations and active backup tasks.
Ideally manager should be doing not too many iterations and we should
not have a lot of backup tasks spawned at the same time.

The logic added in the original PR (#7434) only worked before sudo was
used, because 'sudo foo' will only fail with NotFound if 'sudo' doesn't
exist; if 'foo' doesn't exist, then sudo will fail with a normal error
exit.
This means that compute_ctl may fail to restart if it exits after
successfully enabling swap.
We want to introduce a concept of temporary and expiring LSN leases.
This adds both a http API as well as one for the page service to obtain
temporary LSN leases.
This adds a dummy implementation to unblock integration work of this
API. A functional implementation of the lease feature is deferred to a
later step.

detaching a timeline from its ancestor can leave the resulting timeline
with more L0 layers than the compaction threshold. most of the time, the
detached timeline has made progress, and next time the L0 -> L1
compaction happens near the original branch point and not near the
last_record_lsn.
add a test to ensure that inheriting the historical L0s does not change
fullbackup. additionally:
- add `wait_until_completed` to test-only timeline checkpoint and
compact HTTP endpoints. with `?wait_until_completed=true` the endpoints
will wait until the remote client has completed uploads.
- for delta layers, describe L0-ness with the `/layer` endpoint

## Problem
In `test_storage_controller_many_tenants` we
[occasionally](https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/main/9155810417/index.html#/testresult/8fbdf57a0e859c2d)
see it hit the retry limit on serializable transactions. That's likely
due to a combination of relative slow fsync on the hetzner nodes running
the test, and the way the test does lots of parallel timeline creations,
putting high load on the drive.
Running the storage controller's db with fsync=off may help here.
## Summary of changes
- Set `fsync=off` in the postgres config for the database used by the
storage controller in tests
Previously we worked around file comparison issues by dropping unlogged
relations in the pg_regress tests, but this would lead to an unnecessary
diff when compared to upstream in our Postgres fork. Instead, we can
precompute the files that we know will be different, and ignore them.
Hot standby feedback xmins can be greater than next_xid due to sparse update of
nextXid on pageserver (to do less writes it advances next xid on
1024). ProcessStandbyHSFeedback ignores such xids from the future; to fix,
minimize received xmin to next_xid.

To avoid pageserver gc'ing data needed by standby, propagate standby apply LSN
through standby -> safekeeper -> broker -> pageserver flow and hold off GC for
it. Iteration of GC resets the value to remove the horizon when standby goes
away -- pushes are assumed to happen at least once between gc iterations. As a
safety guard max allowed lag compared to normal GC horizon is hardcoded as 10GB.
Add test for the feature.

## Problem
Noticed this issue in staging.
When a tenant is under somewhat heavy timeline creation/deletion
thrashing, it becomes quite common for secondary downloads to encounter
404s downloading layers. This is tolerated by design, because heatmaps
are not guaranteed to be up to date with what layers/timelines actually
exist.
However, we were not updating the SecondaryProgress structure in this
case, so after such a download pass, we would leave a SecondaryProgress
state with lower "downloaded" stats than "total" stats. This causes the
storage controller to consider this secondary location inelegible for
optimization actions such as we do after shard splits
This issue has relative low impact because a typical tenant will
eventually upload a heatmap where we do download all the layers and
thereby enable the controller to progress with migrations -- the heavy
thrashing of timeline creation/deletion is an artifact of our nightly
stress tests.
## Summary of changes
- In the layer 404 case, subtract the skipped layer's stats from the
totals, so that at the end of this download pass we should still end up
in a complete state.
- When updating `last_downloaded`, do a sanity check that our progress
is complete. In debug builds, assert out if this is not the case. In
prod builds, correct the stats and log a warning.
## Problem
We want to add alerts for when people's replication slots break, and
also metrics for retained WAL so that we can make warn customers when
their storage gets bloated.
## Summary of changes
Adds the metrics. Addresses

## Problem
Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7462
On metadata keyspace, vectored get will not stop if a key is not found,
and will read past the image layer. However, the semantics is different
from single get, because if a key does not exist in the image layer, it
means that the key does not exist in the past, or have been deleted.
This pull request fixed it by recording image layer coverage during the
vectored get process and stop when the full keyspace is covered by an
image layer. A corresponding test case is added to ensure generating
image layer reduces the number of delta layers.
This optimization (or bug fix) also applies to rel block keyspaces. If a
key is missing, we can know it's missing once the first image layer is
reached. Page server will not attempt to read lower layers, which
potentially incurs layer downloads + evictions.

Sparse keyspace does not generate image layers for now. This pull
request adds support for generating image layers for sparse keyspace.
## Summary of changes
* Use the scan interface to generate compaction data for sparse
keyspace.
* Track num of delta layers reads during scan.
* Read-trigger compaction: when a scan on the keyspace touches too many
delta files, generate an image layer. There are one hard-coded threshold
for now: max delta layers we want to touch for a scan.
* L0 compaction does not need to compute holes for metadata keyspace.
Know issue: the scan interface currently reads past the image layer,
which causes `delta_layer_accessed` keeps increasing even if image
layers are generated. The pull request to fix that will be separate, and
orthogonal to this one.

Upgrade pgvector to 0.7.0.
This PR is based on Heikki's PR #6753 and just uses pgvector 0.7.0
instead of 0.6.0
I have now done all planned manual tests.
The pull request is ready to be reviewed and merged and can be deployed
in production together / after swap enablement.
See (https://github.com/neondatabase/autoscaling/issues/800)
Fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6516
Fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7780
## Documentation input for usage recommendations
### maintenance_work_mem
In Neon
`maintenance_work_mem` is very small by default (depends on configured
RAM for your compute but can be as low as 64 MB).
To optimize pgvector index build time you may have to bump it up
according to your working set size (size of tuples for vector index
creation).
You can do so in the current session using
`SET maintenance_work_mem='10 GB';`
The target value you choose should fit into the memory of your compute
size and not exceed 50-60% of available RAM.
The value above has been successfully used on a 7CU endpoint.
### max_parallel_maintenance_workers
max_parallel_maintenance_workers is also small by default (2). For
efficient parallel pgvector index creation you have to bump it up with
`SET max_parallel_maintenance_workers = 7`
to make use of all the CPUs available, assuming you have configured your
endpoint to use 7CU.
## ID input for changelog
pgvector extension in Neon has been upgraded from version 0.5.1 to
version 0.7.0.
Please see https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector/ for documentation of
new capabilities in pgvector version 0.7.0
If you have existing databases with pgvector 0.5.1 already installed
there is a slight difference in behavior in the following corner cases
even if you don't run `ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE`:
### L2 distance from NULL::vector
For the following script, comparing the NULL::vector to non-null vectors
the resulting output changes:
```sql
SET enable_seqscan = off;
CREATE TABLE t (val vector(3));
INSERT INTO t (val) VALUES ('[0,0,0]'), ('[1,2,3]'), ('[1,1,1]'), (NULL);
CREATE INDEX ON t USING hnsw (val vector_l2_ops);
INSERT INTO t (val) VALUES ('[1,2,4]');
SELECT * FROM t ORDER BY val <-> (SELECT NULL::vector);
```
and now the output is
```
val
---------
[1,1,1]
[1,2,4]
[1,2,3]
[0,0,0]
(4 rows)
```
For the following script
```sql
SET enable_seqscan = off;
CREATE TABLE t (val vector(3));
INSERT INTO t (val) VALUES ('[0,0,0]'), ('[1,2,3]'), ('[1,1,1]'), (NULL);
CREATE INDEX ON t USING ivfflat (val vector_l2_ops) WITH (lists = 1);
INSERT INTO t (val) VALUES ('[1,2,4]');
SELECT * FROM t ORDER BY val <-> (SELECT NULL::vector);
```
the output now is
```
val
---------
[0,0,0]
[1,2,3]
[1,1,1]
[1,2,4]
(4 rows)
```
### changed error messages
If you provide invalid literals for datatype vector you may get
improved/changed error messages, for example:
```sql
neondb=> SELECT '[4e38,1]'::vector;
ERROR: "4e38" is out of range for type vector
LINE 1: SELECT '[4e38,1]'::vector;
^
```

## Problem
The heatmap upload period is configurable, but secondary mode downloads
were using a fixed download period.
Closes: #6200
## Summary of changes
- Use the upload period in the heatmap to adjust the download period.
In practice, this will reduce the frequency of downloads from its
current 60 second period to what heatmaps use, which is 5-10m depending
on environment.
This is an improvement rather than being optimal: we could be smarter
about periods, and schedule downloads to occur around the time we expect
the next upload, rather than just using the same period, but that's
something we can address in future if it comes up.
## Summary of changes
Updates the parquet lib. one change left that we need is in an open PR
against upstream, hopefully we can remove the git dependency by 52.0.0
https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/5773
I'm not sure why the parquet files got a little bit bigger. I tested
them and they still open fine. 🤷
side effect of the update, chrono updated and added yet another
deprecation warning (hence why the safekeepers change)
The comment says that this checks if there's enough space on the page
for logical message *and* an XLOG_SWITCH. So the sizes of the logical
message and the XLOG_SWITCH record should be added together, not
subtracted.
I saw a panic in the test that led me to investigate and notice this
(https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-7803/9142396223/index.html):

## Summary of changes
This pull request adds two APIs to the pageserver management API:
list_aux_files and ingest_aux_files. The aux file pagebench is intended
to be used on an empty timeline because the data do not go through the
safekeeper. LSNs are advanced by 8 for each ingestion, to avoid
invariant checks inside the pageserver.
For now, I only care about space amplification / read amplification, so
the bench is designed in a very simple way: ingest 10000 files, and I
will manually dump the layer map to analyze.

## Summary of changes
Tenant config is not persisted unless it's attached on the storage
controller. In this pull request, we persist the aux file policy flag in
the `index_part.json`.
Admins can set `switch_aux_file_policy` in the storage controller or
using the page server API. Upon the first aux file gets written, the
write path will compare the aux file policy target with the current
policy. If it is switch-able, we will do the switch. Otherwise, the
original policy will be used. The test cases show what the admins can do
/ cannot do.
The `last_aux_file_policy` is stored in `IndexPart`. Updates to the
persisted policy are done via
`schedule_index_upload_for_aux_file_policy_update`. On the write path,
the writer will update the field.

## Problem
Currently tenants are only split into multiple shards if a human being
calls the API to do it.
Issue: #7388
## Summary of changes
- Add a pageserver API for returning the top tenants by size
- Add a step to the controller's background loop where if there is no
reconciliation or optimization to be done, it looks for things to split.
- Add a test that runs pgbench on many tenants concurrently, and checks
that splitting happens as expected as tenants grow, without interrupting
the client I/O.
This PR is quite basic: there is a tasklist in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7388 for further work. This
PR is meant to be safe (off by default), and sufficient to enable our
staging environment to run lots of sharded tenants without a human
having to set them up.
## Problem
The storage controller generally assumes that things like updating
generation numbers are atomic: it should use a strict isolation level.
## Summary of changes
- Wrap all database operations in a SERIALIZABLE transaction.
- Retry serialization failures, as these do not indicate problems and
are normal when plenty of concurrent work is happening.
Using this isolation level for all reads is overkill, but much simpler
than reasoning about it on a per-operation basis, and does not hurt
performance.
Tested this with a modified version of storage_controller_many_tenants
test with 128k shards, to check that our performance is still fine: it
is.
## Problem
- When a layer with legacy local path format is evicted and then
re-downloaded, a panic happened because the path downloaded by remote
storage didn't match the path stored in Layer.
- While investigating, I also realized that secondary locations would
have a similar issue with evictions.
Closes: #7783
## Summary of changes
- Make remote timeline client take local paths as an input: it should
not have its own ideas about local paths, instead it just uses the layer
path that the Layer has.
- Make secondary state store an explicit local path, populated on scan
of local disk at startup. This provides the same behavior as for Layer,
that our local_layer_path is a _default_, but the layer path can
actually be anything (e.g. an old style one).
- Add tests for both cases.
by having 100 copy operations in flight twe climb up to 2500 requests
per min or 41/s. This is still probably less than is allowed, but fast
enough for our purposes.
Before this PR, the changed tests would overwrite the entire
`tenant_config` because `pageserver_config_override` is merged
non-recursively into the `ps_cfg`.
This meant they would override the
`PAGESERVER_DEFAULT_TENANT_CONFIG_COMPACTION_ALGORITHM`, impacting our
matrix build for `compaction_algorithm=Tiered|Legacy` in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7748.
I found the tests fixed in this PR using the
`NEON_PAGESERVER_PANIC_ON_UNSPECIFIED_COMPACTION_ALGORITHM` env var that
I added in #7748. Therefore, I think this is an exhaustive fix. This is
better than just searching the code base for `tenant_config`, which is
what I had sketched in #7747.
refs #7749
Tiered compaction employs two sliding windows over the keyspace:
`KeyspaceWindow` for the image layer generation and `Window` for the
delta layer generation. Do some fixes to both windows:
* The distinction between the two windows is not very clear. Do the
absolute minimum to mention where they are used in the rustdoc
description of the struct. Maybe we should rename them (say
`WindowForImage` and `WindowForDelta`) or merge them into one window
implementation.
* Require the keys to strictly increase. The `accum_key_values` already
combines the key, so there is no logic needed in `Window::feed` for the
same key repeating. This is a follow-up to address the request in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7671#pullrequestreview-2051995541
* In `choose_next_delta`, we claimed in the comment to use 1.25 as the
factor but it was 1.66 instead. Fix this discrepancy by using `*5/4` as
the two operations.
As of #6202 we support `AWS_PROFILE` as well, which is more convenient.
Change the docs to using it instead of `SSO_ACCOUNT_ID`. Also, remove
`SSO_ACCOUNT_ID` from BucketConfig as it is confusing to the code's
reader: it's not the "main" way of setting up authentication for the
scrubber any more.
It is a breaking change for the on-disk format as we persist `sso_account_id` to disk,
but it was quite inconsistent with the other methods which are not persistet. Also,
I don't think we want to support the case where one version writes the json and
another version reads it.

## Problem
I wanted to do a deep dive of the tungstenite codebase.
tokio-tungstenite is incredibly convoluted... In my searching I found
[fastwebsockets by deno](https://github.com/denoland/fastwebsockets),
but it wasn't quite sufficient.
This also removes the default 16MB/64MB frame/message size limitation.
framed-websockets solves this by inserting continuation frames for
partially received messages, so the whole message does not need to be
entirely read into memory.
## Summary of changes
I took the fastwebsockets code as a starting off point and rewrote it to
be simpler, server-only, and be poll-based to support our Read/Write
wrappers.
I have replaced our tungstenite code with my framed-websockets fork.

## Problem
There are two cloud's features that require extra compute endpoints.
1. We are running pg_dump to get DB schemas. Currently, we are using a
special service for this. But it would be great to execute pg_dump in an
isolated environment. And we already have such an environment, it's our
compute! And likely enough pg_dump already exists there too! (see
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/11644#issuecomment-2084617832)
2. We need to have a way to get databases and roles from compute after
time travel (see https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/12109)
## Summary of changes
It adds two API endpoints to compute_ctl HTTP API that target both of
the aforementioned cases.

## Problem
This is tech debt from when shard splitting was implemented, to handle
more nicely the edge case of a client reconnect at the moment of the
split.
During shard splits, there were edge cases where we could incorrectly
return NotFound to a getpage@lsn request, prompting an unwanted
reconnect/backoff from the client.
It is already the case that parent shards during splits are marked
InProgress before child shards are created, so `resolve_attached_shard`
will not match on them, thereby implicitly preferring child shards
(good).
However, we were not doing any elegant handling of InProgress in
general: `get_active_tenant_with_timeout` was previously mostly dead
code: it was inspecting the slot found by `resolve_attached_shard` and
maybe waiting for InProgress, but that path is never taken because since
ef7c9c2ccc the resolve function only ever
returns attached slots.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7044
## Summary of changes
- Change return value of `resolve_attached_shard` to distinguish between
true NotFound case, and the case where we skipped slots that were
InProgress.
- Rework `get_active_tenant_with_timeout` to loop over calling
resolve_attached_shard, waiting if it sees an InProgress result.
The resulting behavior during a shard split is:
- If we look up a shard early in split when parent is InProgress but
children aren't created yet, we'll wait for the parent to be shut down.
This corresponds to the part of the split where we wait for LSNs to
catch up: so a small delay to the request, but a clean enough handling.
- If we look up a shard while child shards are already present, we will
match on those shards rather than the parent, as intended.
Adds a test that is a reproducer for many tiered compaction bugs,
both ones that have since been fixed as well as still unfxied ones:
* (now fixed) #7296
* #7707
* #7759
* Likely also #7244 but I haven't tried that.
The key ordering bug can be reproduced by switching to
`merge_delta_keys` instead of `merge_delta_keys_buffered`, so reverting
a big part of #7661, although it only sometimes reproduces (30-50% of
cases).

* If sync is configured, warn! and use async instead
* Remove the metric that exposes `kind`
* Remove the tenant status API that exposes `kind`
Future Work
-----------
After we've released this change to prod and are sure we won't
roll back, we will
1. update the prod Ansible to remove the config flag from the prod
pageserver.toml.
2. remove the remaining `kind` code in pageserver
These two changes need no release inbetween.
See https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7753 for details.
## Problem
This is historical baggage from when the pageserver could be run with
local disk only: we had a bunch of places where we had to treat remote
storage as optional.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6890
## Changes
- Remove Option<> around remote storage (in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7722 we made remote storage
clearly mandatory)
- Remove code for deleting old metadata files: they're all gone now.
- Remove other references to metadata files when loading directories, as
none exist.
I checked last 14 days of logs for "found legacy metadata", there are no
instances.
## Problem
There are not enough arm runners and jobs in `neon-extra-builds` workflow
take about the same amount of time on a small-arm runner as on
large-arm.
## Summary of changes
- Switch `neon-extra-builds` workflow from `large-arm64` to
`small-arm64` runners
This PR allows setting the
`PAGESERVER_DEFAULT_TENANT_CONFIG_COMPACTION_ALGORITHM` env var to
override the `tenant_config.compaction_algorithm` field in the initial
`pageserver.toml` for all tests.
I tested manually that this works by halting a test using pdb and
inspecting the `effective_config` in the tenant status managment API.
If the env var is set, the tests are parametrized by the `kind` tag
field, allowing to do a matrix build in CI and let Allure summarize
everything in a nice report.
If the env var is not set, the tests are not parametrized. So, merging
this PR doesn't cause problems for flaky test detection. In fact, it
doesn't cause any runtime change if the env var is not set.
There are some tests in the test suite that set used to override
the entire tenant_config using
`NeonEnvBuilder.pageserver_config_override`.
Since config overrides are merged non-recursively, such overrides
that don't specify `kind = ` cause a fallback to pageserver's built-in
`DEFAULT_COMPACTION_ALGORITHM`.
Such cases can be found using
```
["']tenant_config\s*[='"]
```
We'll deal with these tests in a future PR.

The [2.31.0 release](https://github.com/rui314/mold/releases/tag/v2.31.0) of mold
includes a 10% speed improvement for binaries with a lot of debug info.
As we have such, it might be useful to update mold to the latest
release. The jump is from 2.4.0 to 2.31.0, but it's not been many
releases in between as the version number was raised by the mold
maintainers to 2.30.0 after 2.4.1 [to avoid confusion for some
tools](https://github.com/rui314/mold/releases/tag/v2.30.0).
## Problem
Shards with number >0 could hang waiting for
`await_initial_logical_size`, as we don't calculate logical size on
these shards. This causes them to hold onto semaphore units and starve
other tenants out from proceeding with warmup activation.
That doesn't hurt availability (we still have on-demand activation), but
it does mean that some background tasks like consumption metrics would
omit some tenants.
## Summary of changes
- Skip waiting for logical size calculation on shards >0
- Upgrade unexpected code paths to use debug_assert!(), which acts as an
implicit regression test for this issue, and make the info() one into a
warn()

## Problem
`report-benchmarks-failures` job is triggered for any failure in the CI
pipeline, but we need it to be triggered only for failed `benchmarks`
job
## Summary of changes
- replace `failure()` with `needs.benchmarks.result == 'failure'` in the
condition
## Problem
Currently we do a large number of heatmap uploads for tiny tenants.
"tiny" in this context is defined as being less than a single layer in
size. These uploads are triggered by atime changes rather than changes
in the set of layers.
Uploading heatmaps for atime changes on small tenants isn't useful,
because even without bumping these atimes, disk usage eviction still
avoids evicting the largest resident layer of a tenant, which in
practice keeps tiny/empty tenants mostly resident irrespective of
atimes.
## Summary of changes
- For tenants smaller than one checkpoint interval, only upload heatmap
if the set of layers has changed, not if only the atimes have changed.
- Include the heatmap period in the uploaded heatmap, as a precursor to
implementing https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6200
(auto-adjusting download intervals to match upload intervals)
The new protocol version supports sending two LSNs to the pageserver:
request LSN and a "not_modified_since" hint. A primary always wants to
read the latest version of each page, so having two values was not
strictly necessary, and the old protocol worked fine with just the
"not_modified_since" LSN and a flag to request the latest page
version. Nevertheless, it seemed like a good idea to set the request
LSN to the current insert/flush LSN, because that's logically the page
version that the primary wants to read.
However, that made the test_gc_aggressive test case flaky. When the
primary requests a page with the last inserted or flushed LSN, it's
possible that by the time that the pageserver processes the request,
more WAL has been generated by other processes in the compute and
already digested by the pageserver. Furthermore, if the PITR horizon
in the pageserver is set to 0, and GC runs during that window, it's
possible that the GC horizon has advances past the request LSN, before
the pageserver processes the request. It is still correct to send the
latest page version in that case, because the compute either has the
page locked so the it cannot have been modified in the primary, or if
it's a prefetch request, and we will validate the LSNs when the
prefetch response is processed and discard it if the page has been
modified. But the pageserver doesn't know that and rightly complains.
To fix, modify the compute so that the primary always uses Lsn::MAX in
the requests. This reverts the primary's behavior to how the protocol
version 1 worked. In protocol version 1, there was only one LSN, the
"not_modified_since" hint, and a flag was set to read the latest page
version, whatever that might be. Requests from computes that are still
using protocol version 1 were already mapped to Lsn::MAX in the
pageserver, now we do the same with protocol version 2 for primary's
requests. (I'm a bit sad about losing the information in the
pageserver, what the last LSN was at the time that the request wa
made. We never had it with protocol version 1, but I wanted to make it
available for debugging purposes.)
Add another field, 'effective_request_lsn', to track what the flush
LSN was when the request was made. It's not sent to the pageserver,
Lsn::MAX is now used as the request LSN, but it's still needed
internally in the compute to track the validity of prefetch requests.
Fixes issue https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7692
We had a lot of code that passed around the two LSNs that are
associated with each GetPage request. Introduce a new struct to
encapsulate them. I'm about to add a third LSN to the struct in the
next commit, this is a mechanical refactoring in preparation for that.
In general, tiered compaction is splitting delta layers along the key
dimension, but this can only continue until a single key is reached: if
the changes from a single key don't fit into one layer file, we used to
create layer files of unbounded sizes.
This patch implements the method listed as TODO/FIXME in the source
code. It does the following things:
* Make `accum_key_values` take the target size and if one key's
modifications exceed it, make it fill `partition_lsns`, a vector of lsns
to use for partitioning.
* Have `retile_deltas` use that `partition_lsns` to create delta layers
separated by lsn.
* Adjust the `test_many_updates_for_single_key` to allow layer files
below 0.5 the target size. This situation can create arbitarily small
layer files: The amount of data is arbitrary that sits between having
just cut a new delta, and then stumbling upon the key that needs to be
split along lsn. This data will end up in a dedicated layer and it can
be arbitrarily small.
* Ignore single-key delta layers for depth calculation: in theory we
might have only single-key delta layers in a tier, and this might
confuse depth calculation as well, but this should be unlikely.

## Problem
Secondary downloads are a low priority task, and intentionally do not
try to max out download speeds. This is almost always fine when they are
used through the life of a tenant shard as a continuous "trickle" of
background downloads.
However, there are sometimes circumstances where we would like to
populate a secondary location as fast as we can, within the constraint
that we don't want to impact the activity of attached tenants:
- During node removal, where we will need to create replacements for
secondary locations on the node being removed
- After a shard split, we need new secondary locations for the new
shards to populate before the shards can be migrated to their final
location.
## Summary of changes
- Add an activity() function to the remote storage interface, enabling
callers to query how busy the remote storage backend is
- In the secondary download code, use a very modest amount of
concurrency, driven by the remote storage's state: we only use
concurrency if the remote storage semaphore is 75% free, and scale the
amount of concurrency used within that range.
This is not a super clever form of prioritization, but it should
accomplish the key goals:
- Enable secondary downloads to happen faster when the system is idle
- Make secondary downloads a much lower priority than attached tenants
when the remote storage is busy.

## Problem
When layer paths include generations, the lsn parsing does not work and
`pagectl` errors out.
## Summary of changes
If the last "word" of the layer path contains 8 characters, discard it
for the purpose of lsn parsing.
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7531, I had a test flaky
because the GC API endpoint fails if the tenant happens not to be active
yet.
## Summary of changes
While adding that wait for the tenant to be active, I noticed that this
endpoint is kind of strange (spawns a TaskManager task) and has a
comment `// TODO: spawning is redundant now, need to hold the gate`, so
this PR cleans it up to just run the GC inline while holding a gate.
The GC code is updated to avoid assuming it runs inside a task manager
task. Avoiding checking the task_mgr cancellation token is safe, because
our timeline shutdown always cancels Timeline::cancel.
ref https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7443
## Summary of changes
This pull request adds a size estimator for aux files. Each timeline
stores a cached `isize` for the estimated total size of aux files. It
gets reset on basebackup, and gets updated for each aux file
modification. TODO: print a warning when it exceeds the size.
The size metrics is not accurate. Race between `on_basebackup` and other
functions could create a negative basebackup size, but the chance is
rare. Anyways, this does not impose any extra I/Os to the storage as
everything is computed in-memory.
The aux files are only stored on shard 0. As basebackups are only
generated on shard 0, only shard 0 will report this metrics.

The background task loop permit metrics do two of `with_label_values`
very often. Change the codepath to cache the counters on first access
into a `Lazy` with `enum_map::EnumMap`. The expectation is that this
should not fix for metric collection failures under load, but it doesn't
hurt.

## Summary of changes
Taking a look at the execution of the same test in logs, it can be
concluded that the time we are holding the lock is sometimes not
enough(must be above 30s) to cause the second log to be shown by the
thread that is creating a timeline.
In the [successful

it can be seen that the log `Operation TimelineCreate on key
5e088fc2dd14945020d0fa6d9efd1e36 has waited 30.000887709s for shared
lock` was on the edge of being logged, if it was below 30s it would not
be shown.

```
we can see that the difference between starting to create timeline
`2024-05-09T20:14:33.526311Z` and creating timeline
`2024-05-09T20:15:03.518815Z` is not above 30s and will not cause any
logs to appear.
The proposed solution is to prolong how long we will pause to ensure
that the thread that creates the timeline waits above 30s.
## Problem
Since https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6769, the pageserver is
intentionally not usable without remote storage: it's purpose is to act
as a cache to an object store, rather than as a source of truth in its
own right.
## Summary of changes
- Make remote storage configuration mandatory: the pageserver will
refuse to start if it is not provided.
This is a precursor that will make it safe to subsequently remove all
the internal Option<>s
The test has been flaky since 2024-04-11 for unknown reason, and the
logging was off. Fix the logging and raise the limit a bit. The
problematic ratio reproduces with pg14 and added sleep (not included)
but not on pg15. The new ratio abs diff limit works for all inspected
examples.

In timeline detach ancestor tests there is no way to really be sure that
there were no subtle off-by one bugs. One such bug is demoed and
reverted. Add verifying fullbackup is equal before and after detaching
ancestor.
Fullbackup is expected to be equal apart from `zenith.signal`, which is
known to be good because endpoint can be started without the detached
branch receiving writes.
The first implementation #7456 did not include `index_part.json` changes
in an attempt to keep amount of changes down. Tracks the historic
reparentings and earlier detach in `index_part.json`.
- `index_part.json` receives a new field `lineage: Lineage`
- `Lineage` is queried through RemoteTimelineClient during basebackup,
creating `PREV LSN: none` for the invalid prev record lsn just as it
would had been created for a newly created timeline
- as `struct IndexPart` grew, it is now boxed in places

The old test based on the immutable `target_file_size` that was a
parameter to the function.
It makes no sense to go further once `current_level_target_height` has
reached `u64::MAX`, as lsn's are u64 typed. In practice, we should only
run into this if there is a bug, as the practical lsn range usually ends
much earlier.
Testing on `target_file_size` makes less sense, it basically implements
an invocation mode that turns off the looping and only runs one
iteration of it.
@hlinnaka agrees that `current_level_target_height` is better here.

While switching to use nextest with the repository in f28bdb6, we had
not noticed that it doesn't yet support running doctests. Run the doc
tests before other tests.
in addition to layer names, expand the input vocabulary to recognize
lines in the form of:
${kind}:${lsn}
where:
- kind in `gc_cutoff` or `branch`
- lsn is accepted in Lsn display format (x/y) or hex (as used in layer
names)
gc_cutoff and branch have different colors.
We had accidentally left two endpoints for `tenant`: `/synthetic_size`
and `/size`. Size had the more extensive description but has returned
404 since renaming. Remove the `/size` in favor of the working one and
describe the `text/html` output.
We didn't check permission in `"/v1/failpoints"` endpoint, it means that
everyone with per-tenant token could modify the failpoints. This commit
fixes that.

This PR does two things:
First, it fixes a bug with tiered compaction's k-merge implementation.
It ignored the lsn of a key during ordering, so multiple updates of the
same key could be read in arbitrary order, say from different layers.
For example there is layers `[(a, 2),(b, 3)]` and `[(a, 1),(c, 2)]` in
the heap, they might return `(a,2)` and `(a,1)`.
Ultimately, this change wasn't enough to fix the ordering issues in
#7296, in other words there is likely still bugs in the k-merge. So as
the second thing, we switch away from the k-merge to an in-memory based
one, similar to #4839, but leave the code around to be improved and
maybe switched to later on.
Part of #7296
## Problem
Storage controller was using a zero layer count in SecondaryProgress as
a proxy for "not initialized". However, in tenants with zero timelines
(a legitimate state), the layer count remains zero forever.
This caused https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7583 to
destabilize the storage controller scale test, which creates lots of
tenants, some of which don't get any timelines.
## Summary of changes
- Use a None mtime instead of zero layer count to determine if a
SecondaryProgress should be ignored.
- Adjust the test to use a shorter heatmap upload period to let it
proceed faster while waiting for scheduling optimizations to complete.
Before this PR, using the AWS SDK profile feature for running against
minio didn't work because
* our SDK versions were too old and didn't include
https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-rust/issues/1060 and
* we didn't massage the s3 client config builder correctly.
This PR
* udpates all the AWS SDKs we use to, respectively, the latest version I
could find on crates.io (Is there a better process?)
* changes the way remote_storage constructs the S3 client, and
* documents how to run the test suite against real S3 & local minio.
Regarding the changes to `remote_storage`: if one reads the SDK docs, it
is clear that the recommended way is to use `aws_config::from_env`, then
customize.
What we were doing instead is to use the `aws_sdk_s3` builder directly.
To get the `local-minio` in the added docs working, I needed to update
both the SDKs and make the changes to the `remote_storage`. See the
commit history in this PR for details.

For aux file keys (v1 or v2) the vectored read path does not return an

btree (this is a requirement, not a bug). Skip updating the metric in
these cases to avoid infinite results.

- Rename "filename" types which no longer map directly to a filename
(LayerFileName -> LayerName)
- Add a -v1- part to local layer paths to smooth the path to future
updates (we anticipate a -v2- that uses checksums later)
- Rename methods that refer to the string-ized version of a LayerName to
no longer be called "filename"
- Refactor reconcile() function to use a LocalLayerFileMetadata type
that includes the local path, rather than carrying local path separately
in a tuple and unwrap()'ing it later.
The test utils should only be used during tests. Users should not be
able to create this extension on their own.

## Problem
We currently have no way to see what the current LSN of a compute its,
and in case of read replicas, we don't know what the difference in LSNs
is.
## Summary of changes
Adds these metrics
Fixes flaky test `test_gc_of_remote_layers`, which was failing because
of the `Nothing to GC` pageserver log.
I looked into the fails, it seems that backround `gc_loop` sometimes
started GC for initial tenant, which wasn't
configured to disable GC. The fix is to not create initial tenant with
enabled gc at all.
Fixes#7538
Before this PR, `neon_local` would store a copy of a subset of the
initial `pageserver.toml` in its `.neon/config`, e.g, `listen_pg_addr`.
That copy is represented as `struct PageServerConf`.
This copy was used to inform e.g., `neon_local endpoint` and other
commands that depend on Pageserver about which port to connect to.
The problem with that scheme is that the duplicated information in
`.neon/config` can get stale if `pageserver.toml` is changed.
This PR fixes that by eliminating populating `struct PageServerConf`
from the `pageserver.toml`s.
The `[[pageservers]]` TOML table in the `.neon/config` is obsolete.
As of this PR, `neon_local` will fail to start and print an error
informing about this change.
Code-level changes:
- Remove the `--pg-version` flag, it was only used for some checks
during `neon_local init`
- Remove the warn-but-continue behavior for when auth key creation fails
but auth keys are not required. It's just complexity that is unjustified
for a tool like `neon_local`.
- Introduce a type-system-level distinction between the runtime state
and the two (!) toml formats that are almost the same but not quite.
- runtime state: `struct PageServerConf`, now without `serde` derives
- toml format 1: the state in `.neon/config` => `struct OnDiskState`
- toml format 2: the `neon_local init --config TMPFILE` that, unlike
`struct OnDiskState`, allows specifying `pageservers`
- Remove `[[pageservers]]` from the `struct OnDiskState` and load the
data from the individual `pageserver.toml`s instead.
Improves the tiered compaction tests:
* Adds a new test that is a simpler version of the ignored
`test_many_updates_for_single_key` test.
* Reduces the amount of data that `test_many_updates_for_single_key`
processes to make it execute more quickly.
* Adds logging support.
Adds ordering asserts to the output of the delta key iterator
`MergeDeltaKeys` that implements a k-merge.
Part of #7296 : the asserts added by this PR get hit in the reproducers
of #7296 as well, but they are earlier in the pipeline.
## Problem
If a permit cannot be acquired to connect to compute, the cache is
invalidated. This had the observed affect of sending more traffic to
ProxyWakeCompute on cplane.
## Summary of changes
Make sure that permit acquire failures are marked as "should not
invalidate cache".
This does to `neon_local` what
https://github.com/neondatabase/aws/pull/1322 does to our production
deployment.
After both are merged, there are no users of `pageserver --init` /
`pageserver --config-override` left, and we can remove those flags
eventually.
Part of applying the changes from #7600. This piece *technically* can
change the semantics because now the context guard is held before
process_cli, but... the difference is likely quite small.

This commit is intentionally designed to have as small a diff as
possible. To that end, the basic idea is that each distinct "chunk" of
the previous main() has been wrapped in its own function, with the
return values from each function being passed directly into the next.
The structure of main() is now visible from its contents, which have a
handful of smaller functions.
There's a lot of other work that can / should(?) be done beyond this,
but I figure that's more opinionated, and this should be a solid start.

## Problem
Some HTTP client connections can stay open for quite a long time.
## Summary of changes
When there are too many HTTP client connections, pick a random
connection and gracefully cancel it.
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7531, we would like to be
able to rewrite layers safely. One option is to make `Layer` able to
rewrite files in place safely (e.g. by blocking evictions/deletions for
an old Layer while a new one is created), but that's relatively fragile.
It's more robust in general if we simply never overwrite the same local
file: we can do that by putting the generation number in the filename.
## Summary of changes
- Add `local_layer_path` (counterpart to `remote_layer_path`) and
convert all locations that manually constructed a local layer path by
joining LayerFileName to timeline path
- In the layer upload path, construct remote paths with
`remote_layer_path` rather than trying to build them out of a local
path.
- During startup, carry the full path to layer files through
`init::reconcile`, and pass it into `Layer::for_resident`
- Add a test to make sure we handle upgrades properly.
- Comment out the generation part of `local_layer_path`, since we need
to maintain forward compatibility for one release. A tiny followup PR
will enable it afterwards.
We could make this a bit simpler if we bulk renamed existing layers on
startup instead of carrying literal paths through init, but that is
operationally risky on existing servers with millions of layer files. We
can always do a renaming change in future if it becomes annoying, but
for the moment it's kind of nice to have a structure that enables us to
change local path names again in future quite easily.
We should rename `LayerFileName` to `LayerName` or somesuch, to make it
more obvious that it's not a literal filename: this was already a bit
confusing where that type is used in remote paths. That will be a
followup, to avoid polluting this PR's diff.
This pull request adds the new basebackup read path + aux file write
path. In the regression test, all logical replication tests are run with
matrix aux_file_v2=false/true.
Also fixed the vectored get code path to correctly return missing key
error when being called from the unified sequential get code path.

Preceding PR https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7613 reduced the
usage of `--pageserver-config-override`.
This PR builds on top of that work and fully removes the `neon_local
--pageserver-config-override`.
Tests that need a non-default `pageserver.toml` control it using two
options:
1. Specify `NeonEnvBuilder.pageserver_config_override` before
`NeonEnvBuilder.init_start()`. This uses a new `neon_local init
--pageserver-config` flag.
2. After `init_start()`: `env.pageserver.stop()` +
`NeonPageserver.edit_config_toml()` + `env.pageserver.start()`
A few test cases were using
`env.pageserver.start(overrides=("--pageserver-config-override...",))`.
I changed them to use one of the options above.
Future Work
-----------
The `neon_local init --pageserver-config` flag still uses `pageserver
--config-override` under the hood. In the future, neon_local should just
write the `pageserver.toml` directly.
The `NeonEnvBuilder.pageserver_config_override` field should be renamed
to `pageserver_initial_config`. Let's save this churn for a separate
refactor commit.
RemoteTimelineClient has a lot of mandatory cloning. By using a single
way of creating IndexPart out of UploadQueueInitialized we can simplify
things and also avoid cloning the latest files for each
`index_part.json` upload (the contents will still be cloned).
The `test_forward_compatibility` test runs the old production binaries,
but is supposed to always run the latest neon_local binary.
I think commit 6acbee23 broke that by accident because in that commit,
`from_repo_dir` is introduced and runs an `init_start()` before the
`test_forward_compatibility` gets a chance to patch up the
neon_local_binpath.

## Summary of changes
- Add sha from postgres repo into postgres version string (via
`--with-extra-version`)
- Add a test that Postgres version matches the expected one
- Remove build-time hard check and allow only related tests to fail
## Problem
Timelines cannot be deleted if they have children. In many production
cases, a branch or a timeline has been created off the main branch for
various reasons to the effect of having now a "new main" branch. This
feature will make it possible to detach a timeline from its ancestor by
inheriting all of the data before the branchpoint to the detached
timeline and by also reparenting all of the ancestor's earlier branches
to the detached timeline.
## Summary of changes
- Earlier added copy_lsn_prefix functionality is used
- RemoteTimelineClient learns to adopt layers by copying them from
another timeline
- LayerManager adds support for adding adopted layers
-
`timeline::Timeline::{prepare_to_detach,complete_detaching}_from_ancestor`
and `timeline::detach_ancestor` are added
- HTTP PUT handler

## Problem
After a shard split of a large existing tenant, child tenants can end up
with oversized historic layers indefinitely, if those layers are
prevented from being GC'd by branchpoints.
This PR is followed by https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7531
Related issue: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7504
## Summary of changes
- Add a new compaction phase `compact_shard_ancestors`, which identifies
layers that are no longer needed after a shard split.
- Add a Timeline->LayerMap code path called `rewrite_layers` , which is
currently only used to drop layers, but will later be used to rewrite
them as well in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7531
- Add a new test that compacts after a split, and checks that something
is deleted.
Note that this doesn't have much impact on a tenant's resident size
(since unused layers would end up evicted anyway), but it:
- Makes index_part.json much smaller
- Makes the system easier to reason about: avoid having tenants which
are like "my physical size is 4TiB but don't worry I'll never actually
download it", instead have tenants report the real physical size of what
they might download.
Why do we remove these layers in compaction rather than during the
split? Because we have existing split tenants that need cleaning up. We
can add it to the split operation in future as an optimization.
## Problem
Usually, the connection itself is quite fast (bellow 10ms for p999:
https://neonprod.grafana.net/goto/aOyn8vYIg?orgId=1).
It doesn't make a lot of sense to wait for a lot of time for the lock,
if it takes a lot of time to acquire it, probably, something goes wrong.
We also spawn a lot of retries, but they are not super helpful (0 means
that it was connected successfully, 1, most probably, that it was
re-request of the compute node address
https://neonprod.grafana.net/goto/J_8VQvLIR?orgId=1). Let's try to keep
a small number of retries.
## Problem
There's allegedly a bug where if we connect a subscriber before WAL is
downloaded from the safekeeper, it creates an error.
## Summary of changes
Adds support for pausing safekeepers from sending WAL to computes, and
then creates a compute and attaches a subscriber while it's in this
paused state. Fails to reproduce the issue, but probably a good test to
have

even lower.
cc #5768
## Problem
The current `tenant_slots` metric becomes less useful once we have lots
of secondaries, because we can't tell how many tenants are really
attached (without doing a sum() on some other metric).
## Summary of changes
- Add a `mode` label to this metric
- Update the metric with `slot_added` and `slot_removed` helpers that
are called at all the places we mutate the tenants map.
- Add a debug assertion at shutdown that checks the metrics add up to
the right number, as a cheap way of validating that we're calling the
metric hooks in all the right places.
## Problem
In testing of the earlier fix for OOMs under heavy write load
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7218), we saw that the limit
on ephemeral layer size wasn't being reliably enforced. That was
diagnosed as being due to overwhelmed compaction loops: most tenants
were waiting on the semaphore for background tasks, and thereby not
running the function that proactively rolls layers frequently enough.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6939
## Summary of changes
- Create a new per-tenant background loop for "ingest housekeeping",
which invokes maybe_freeze_ephemeral_layer() without taking the
background task semaphore.
- Downgrade to DEBUG a log line in maybe_freeze_ephemeral_layer that had
been INFO, but turns out to be pretty common in the field.
There's some discussion on the issue
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6939#issuecomment-2083554275)
about alternatives for calling this maybe_freeze_epemeral_layer
periodically without it getting stuck behind compaction. A whole task
just for this feels like kind of a big hammer, but we may in future find
that there are other pieces of lightweight housekeeping that we want to
do here too.
Why is it okay to call maybe_freeze_ephemeral_layer outside of the
background tasks semaphore?
- this is the same work we would do anyway if we receive writes from the
safekeeper, just done a bit sooner.
- The period of the new task is generously jittered (+/- 5%), so when
the ephemeral layer size tips over the threshold, we shouldn't see an
excessively aggressive thundering herd of layer freezes (and only layers
larger than the mean layer size will be frozen)
- All that said, this is an imperfect approach that relies on having a
generous amount of RAM to dip into when we need to freeze somewhat
urgently. It would be nice in future to also block compaction/GC when we
recognize resource stress and need to do other work (like layer
freezing) to reduce memory footprint.
Previously its segment header and page header of first record weren't
initialized because compute streams data only since first record LSN. Also, fix
a bug in the existing code for initialization: xlp_rem_len must not include page
header.
These changes make first segment pg_waldump'able.
- On a non-pooled start, do not reset the 'start_time' after launching
the HTTP service. In a non-pooled start, it's fair to include that in
the total startup time.
- When setting wait_for_spec_ms and resetting start_time, call
Utc::now() only once. It's a waste of cycles to call it twice, but also,
it ensures the time between setting wait_for_spec_ms and resetting
start_time is included in one or the other time period.
These differences should be insignificant in practice, in the
microsecond range, but IMHO it seems more logical and readable this way
too. Also fix and clarify some of the surrounding comments.
(This caught my eye while reviewing PR #7577)
Part of neondatabase/cloud#12047. Resolves#7239.
In short, this PR:
1. Adds `ComputeSpec.swap_size_bytes: Option<u64>`
2. Adds a flag to compute_ctl: `--resize-swap-on-bind`
3. Implements running `/neonvm/bin/resize-swap` with the value from the
compute spec before starting postgres, if both the value in the spec
*AND* the flag are specified.
4. Adds `sudo` to the final image
5. Adds a file in `/etc/sudoers.d` to allow `compute_ctl` to resize swap
Various bits of reasoning about design decisions in the added comments.
In short: We have both a compute spec field and a flag to make rollout
easier to implement. The flag will most likely be removed as part of
cleanups for neondatabase/cloud#12047.
This is the first step towards representing all of Pageserver
configuration as clean `serde::Serialize`able Rust structs in
`pageserver_api`.
The `neon_local` code will then use those structs instead of the crude
`toml_edit` / string concatenation that it does today.

## Problem
Too many connect_compute attempts can overwhelm postgres, getting the

## Summary of changes
Limit number of connection attempts that can happen at a given time.
This pull request adds the scan interface. Scan operates on a sparse
keyspace and retrieves all the key-value pairs from the keyspaces.
Currently, scan only supports the metadata keyspace, and by default do
not retrieve anything from the ancestor branch. This should be fixed in
the future if we need to have some keyspaces that inherits from the
parent.
The scan interface reuses the vectored get code path by disabling the
missing key errors.
This pull request also changes the behavior of vectored get on aux file
v1/v2 key/keyspace: if the key is not found, it is simply not included in the
result, instead of throwing a missing key error.
TODOs in future pull requests: limit memory consumption, ensure the
search stops when all keys are covered by the image layer, remove
`#[allow(dead_code)]` once the code path is used in basebackups / aux
files, remove unnecessary fine-grained keyspace tracking in vectored get
(or have another code path for scan) to improve performance.

## Problem
The logic in Service::optimize_all would sometimes choose to migrate a
tenant to a secondary location that was only recently created, resulting
in Reconciler::live_migrate hitting its 5 minute timeout warming up the
location, and proceeding to attach a tenant to a location that doesn't
have a warm enough local set of layer files for good performance.
Closes: #7532
## Summary of changes
- Add a pageserver API for checking download progress of a secondary
location
- During `optimize_all`, connect to pageservers of candidate
optimization secondary locations, and check they are warm.
- During shard split, do heatmap uploads and start secondary downloads,
so that the new shards' secondary locations start downloading ASAP,
rather than waiting minutes for background downloads to kick in.
I have intentionally not implemented this by continuously reading the
status of locations, to avoid dealing with the scale challenge of
efficiently polling & updating 10k-100k locations status. If we
implement that in the future, then this code can be simplified to act
based on latest state of a location rather than fetching it inline
during optimize_all.
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://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/05/02/Rust-1.78.0.html
Prior update was in #7198
## Problem
After some time the load from heatmap uploads gets rather spiky. They're
unintentionally synchronising.
Chart (does this make a _boing_ sound in anyone else's head?):
## Summary of changes
- Add a helper `period_jitter` and apply a 5% jitter from downloader and
heatmap_uploader when updating the next runtime at the end of an
interation.
- Refactor existing places that we pick a startup interval into
`period_warmup`, so that the intent is obvious.
The current implementation of finding timeline gc cutoff Lsn(s) is done
while holding `Tenant::gc_cs`. In recent incidents long create branch
times were caused by holding the `Tenant::gc_cs` over extremely long
`Timeline::find_lsn_by_timestamp`. The fix is to find the GC cutoff
values before taking the `Tenant::gc_cs` lock. This change is safe to do
because the GC cutoff values and the branch points have no dependencies
on each other. In the case of `Timeline::find_gc_cutoff` taking a long
time with this change, we should no longer see `Tenant::gc_cs`
interfering with branch creation.
Additionally, the `Tenant::refresh_gc_info` is now tolerant of timeline
deletions (or any other failures to find the pitr_cutoff). This helps
with the synthetic size calculation being constantly completed instead
of having a break for a timely timeline deletion.
Fixes: #7560Fixes: #7587
## Problem
We were matching on `/tenant/:tenant_id` and
`/tenant/:tenant_id/timeline*`, but not non-timeline tenant sub-paths.
There aren't many: this was only noticeable when using the
synthetic_size endpoint by hand.
## Summary of changes
- Change the wildcard from `/tenant/:tenant_id/timeline*` to
`/tenant/:tenant_id/*`
- Add test lines that exercise this
## Problem
This test triggers layer download failures on demand. It is possible to
modify the failpoint
during a `Timeline::get_vectored` right between the vectored read and
it's validation read.
This means that one of the reads can fail while the other one succeeds
and vice versa.
## Summary of changes
These errors are expected, so allow them to happen.
Split `GcInfo` and replace `Timeline::update_gc_info` with a method that
simply finds gc cutoffs `Timeline::find_gc_cutoffs` to be combined as
`Timeline::gc_info` at the caller.
This change will be followed up with a change that finds the GC cutoff
values before taking the `Tenant::gc_cs` lock.
Cc: #7560
## Problem
Issues around operation and tenant locks would have been hard to debug
since there was little observability around them.
## Summary of changes
- As suggested in the issue, a wrapper was added around
`OwnedRwLockWriteGuard` called `IdentifierLock` that removes the
operation currently holding the exclusive lock when it's dropped.
- The value in `IdLockMap` was extended to hold a pair of locks and
operations that can be accessed and locked independently.
- When requesting an exclusive lock besides returning the lock on that
resource, an operation is changed if the lock is acquired.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7108
The main challenge was in the second commit, as `DownloadStream`
requires the inner to be Sync but the stream returned by the Azure SDK
wasn't Sync.
This left us with three options:
* Change the Azure SDK to return Sync streams. This was abandoned after
we realized that we couldn't just make `TokenCredential`'s returned
future Sync: it uses the `async_trait` macro and as the
`TokenCredential` trait is used in dyn form, one can't use Rust's new
"async fn in Trait" feature.
* Change `DownloadStream` to not require `Sync`. This was abandoned
after it turned into a safekeeper refactoring project.
* Put the stream into a `Mutex` and make it obtain a lock on every poll.
This adds some performance overhead but locks that actually don't do
anything should be comparatively cheap.
We went with the third option in the end as the change still represents
an improvement.
Follow up of #5446 , fixes#5563
As discussed in https://github.com/neondatabase/autoscaling/pull/895, we
want to have a separate sql_exporter for simple metrics to avoid
overload the database because the autoscaling agent needs to scrape at a
higher interval. The new exporter is exposed at port 9499. I didn't do
any testing for this pull request but given it's just a configuration
change I assume this works.

This allows passing a humantime string in the CLI to configure the
initial wait for the database.
It defaults to the previously hard-coded value of 5 seconds.
Some part of the code requires missing key error to be propagated to the
code path correctly (i.e., aux key range scan). Currently, it's an
anyhow error.
* remove `stuck_lsn` from the missing key error.
* as a result, when matching missing key, we do not distinguish the case
`stuck_lsn = false/true`.
* vectored get now use the unified missing key error.

We had an incident where pageserver requests timed out because
pageserver couldn't fetch WAL from safekeepers. This incident was caused
by a bug in safekeeper logic for timeline activation, which prevented
pageserver from finding safekeepers.
This bug was since fixed, but there is still a chance of a similar bug
in the future due to overall complexity.
We add a new broker message to "signal interest" for timeline. This
signal will be sent by pageservers `wait_lsn`, and safekeepers will
receive this signal to start broadcasting broker messages. Then every
broker subscriber will be able to find the safekeepers and connect to
them (to start fetching WAL).
This feature is not limited to pageservers and any service that wants to
download WAL from safekeepers will be able to use this discovery
request.
This commit changes pageserver's connection_manager (walreceiver) to
send a SafekeeperDiscoveryRequest when there is no information about
safekeepers present in memory. Current implementation will send these
requests only if there is an active wait_lsn() call and no more often
than once per 10 seconds.
Add `test_broker_discovery` to test this: safekeepers started with
`--disable-periodic-broker-push` will not push info to broker so that
pageserver must use a discovery to start fetching WAL.
Add task_stats in safekeepers broker module to log a warning if there is
no message received from the broker for the last 10 seconds.
Closes#5471

## Problem
The current Makefile assumes that homebrew is used on macos. There are
other ways to install dependencies on MacOS (nix, macports, "manually").
It would be great to allow the one who wants to use other options to
disable homebrew integration.
## Summary of changes
It adds DISABLE_HOMEBREW variable that if set skips extra
homebrew-specific configuration steps.
## Problem
This test became flaky recently with failures like:
```
AssertionError: Log errors on storage_controller: (129, '2024-04-29T16:41:03.591506Z ERROR request{method=PUT path=/control/v1/tenant/b38c0447fbdbcf4e1c023f00b0f7c221/shard_split request_id=34df4975-2ef3-4ed8-b167-2956650e365c}: Error processing HTTP request: InternalServerError(Reconcile error on shard b38c0447fbdbcf4e1c023f00b0f7c221-0002: Cancelled\n')
```
Likely due to #7508 changing how errors are reported from Reconcilers.
## Summary of changes
- Tolerate `Reconcile error.*Cancelled` log errors
## Problem
Storage controller was observed to have unexpectedly large memory
consumption when loaded with many thousands of shards.
This was recently fixed:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7493
...but we need a general test that the controller is well behaved with
thousands of shards.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7460
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7463
## Summary of changes
- Add test test_storage_controller_many_tenants to exercise the system's
behaviour with a more substantial workload. This test measures memory
consumption and reproduces #7460 before the other changes in this PR.
- Tweak reconcile_all's return value to make it nonzero if it spawns no
reconcilers, but _would_ have spawned some reconcilers if they weren't
blocked by the reconcile concurrency limit. This makes the test's
reconcile_until_idle behave as expected (i.e. not complete until the
system is nice and calm).
- Fix an issue where tenant migrations would leave a spurious secondary
location when migrated to some location that was not already their
secondary (this was an existing low-impact bug that tripped up the
test's consistency checks).
On the test with 8000 shards, the resident memory per shard is about
20KiB. This is not really per-shard memory: the primary source of memory
growth is the number of concurrent network/db clients we create.
With 8000 shards, the test takes 125s to run on my workstation.
- pageserver_id in project details is now is optional, fix it
- add active_timeline_count guard/stat similar to active_tenant_count
- fix safekeeper prefix
- count and log deleted keys
It works by listing postgres table with memory dump of safekeepers state. s3
contents for each timeline are checked then against timeline_start_lsn and
backup_lsn. If inconsistency is found, before complaining timeline (branch) is
checked at control plane; it might have been deleted between the dump take and
s3 check.
Makes two of the tests work with the tiered compaction that I had to
ignore in #7283.
The issue was that tiered compaction actually created image layers, but
the keys didn't appear in them as `collect_keyspace` didn't include
them. Not a compaction problem, but due to how the test is structured.
Fixes#7287
## Problem
`init_tenant_mgr` blocks the rest of pageserver startup, including
starting the admin API.
This was noticeable in #7475 , where the init_tenant_mgr runtime could
be long enough to trip the controller's 30 second heartbeat timeout.
## Summary of changes
- When detaching tenants during startup, spawn the background deletes as
background tasks instead of doing them inline
- Write all configs before spawning any tenants, so that the config
writes aren't fighting tenants for system resources
- Write configs with some concurrency (16) rather than writing them all
sequentially.

The current codebase assumes the keyspace is dense -- which means that
if we have a keyspace of 0x00-0x100, we assume every key (e.g., 0x00,
0x01, 0x02, ...) exists in the storage engine. However, the assumption
does not hold any more in metadata keyspace. The metadata keyspace is
sparse. It is impossible to do per-key check.
Ideally, we should not have the assumption of dense keyspace at all, but
this would incur a lot of refactors. Therefore, we split the keyspaces
we have to dense/sparse and handle them differently in the code for now.
At some point in the future, we should assume all keyspaces are sparse.
## Summary of changes
* Split collect_keyspace to return dense+sparse keyspace.
* Do not allow generating image layers for sparse keyspace (for now --
will fix this next week, we need image layers anyways).
* Generate delta layers for sparse keyspace.

## Problem
Followup to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6776
While #6776 makes compaction safe on sharded tenants, the logic for
keyspace partitioning remains inefficient: it assumes that the size of
data on a pageserver can be calculated simply as the range between start
and end of a Range -- this is not the case in sharded tenants, where
data within a range belongs to a variety of shards.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6774
## Summary of changes
I experimented with using a sharding-aware range type in KeySpace to
replace all the Range<Key> uses, but the impact on other code was quite
large (many places use the ranges), and not all of them need this
property of being able to approximate the physical size of data within a
key range.
So I compromised on expressing this as a ShardedRange type, but only
using that type selctively: during keyspace repartition, and in tiered
compaction when accumulating key ranges.
- keyspace partitioning methods take sharding parameters as an input
- new `ShardedRange` type wraps a Range<Key> and a shard identity
- ShardedRange::page_count is the shard-aware replacement for
key_range_size
- Callers that don't need to be shard-aware (e.g. vectored get code that
just wants to count the number of keys in a keyspace) can use
ShardedRange::raw_size to get the faster, shard-naive code (same as old
`key_range_size`)
- Compaction code is updated to carry a shard identity so that it can
use shard aware calculations
- Unit tests for the new fragmentation logic.
- Add a test for compaction on sharded tenants, that validates that we
generate appropriately sized image layers (this fails before fixing
keyspace partitioning)
previously in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7375, we
observed that for in-memory layers, we will need to iterate every key in
the key space in order to get the result. The operation can be more
efficient if we use BTreeMap as the in-memory layer representation, even
if we are doing vectored get in a dense keyspace. Imagine a case that
the in-memory layer covers a very little part of the keyspace, and most
of the keys need to be found in lower layers. Using a BTreeMap can
significantly reduce probes for nonexistent keys.
## Summary of changes
* Use BTreeMap as in-memory layer representation.
* Optimize the vectored get flow to utilize the range scan functionality
of BTreeMap.

## Problem
Sequential get runs after vectored get, so it is possible for the later
to time out while waiting for its ancestor's Lsn to become ready and for
the former to succeed (it essentially has a doubled wait time).
## Summary of Changes
Relax the validation to allow for such rare cases.
## Problem
Benchmarks don't use the vectored read path.
## Summary of changes
* Update the benchmarks to use the vectored read path for both singular
and vectored gets.
* Disable validation for the benchmarks
## Problem
It's not possible to get the duration of the session from proxy events.
## Summary of changes
* Added a separate events folder in s3, to record disconnect events.
* Disconnect events are exactly the same as normal events, but also have
`disconnect_timestamp` field not empty.
* @oruen suggested to fill it with the same information as the original
events to avoid potentially heavy joins.
## Problem
Downloading tenant data for analysis/debug with `aws s3 cp` works well
for small tenants, but for larger tenants it is unlikely that one ends
up with an index that matches layer files, due to the time taken to
download.
## Summary of changes
- Add a `tenant-snapshot` command to the scrubber, which reads timeline
indices and then downloads the layers referenced in the index, even if
they were deleted. The result is a snapshot of the tenant's remote
storage state that should be usable when imported (#7399 ).
## Problem
Previously, we try to send compute notifications in startup_reconcile
before completing that function, with a time limit. Any notifications
that don't happen within the time limit result in tenants having their
`pending_compute_notification` flag set, which causes them to spawn a
Reconciler next time the background reconciler loop runs.
This causes two problems:
- Spawning a lot of reconcilers after startup caused a spike in memory
(this is addressed in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7493)
- After https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7493, spawning lots of
reconcilers will block some other operations, e.g. a tenant creation
might fail due to lack of reconciler semaphore units while the
controller is busy running all the Reconcilers for its startup compute
notifications.
When the code was first written, ComputeHook didn't have internal
ordering logic to ensure that notifications for a shard were sent in the
right order. Since that was added in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7088, we can use it to avoid
waiting for notifications to complete in startup_reconcile.
Related to: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7460
## Summary of changes
- Add a `notify_background` method to ComputeHook.
- Call this from startup_reconcile instead of doing notifications inline
- Process completions from `notify_background` in `process_results`, and
if a notification failed then set the `pending_compute_notification`
flag on the shard.
The result is that we will only spawn lots of Reconcilers if the compute
notifications _fail_, not just because they take some significant amount
of time.
Test coverage for this case is in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7475
## Problem
Sometimes we have test data in the form of S3 contents that we would
like to run live in a neon_local environment.
## Summary of changes
- Add a storage controller API that imports an existing tenant.
Currently this is equivalent to doing a create with a high generation
number, but in future this would be something smarter to probe S3 to
find the shards in a tenant and find generation numbers.
- Add a `neon_local` command that invokes the import API, and then
inspects timelines in the newly attached tenant to create matching
branches.

https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7462.
In the page server, we use i128 (instead of u128) to do the integer
representation of the key, which indicates that the highest bit of the
key should not be 1. This constraints our keyspace to <= 0x7F.
Also fix the bug of `to_i128` that dropped the highest 4b. Now we keep
3b of them, dropping the sign bit.
And on that, we shrink the metadata keyspace to 0x60-0x7F for now, and
once we add support for u128, we can have a larger metadata keyspace.

Implements an approach different from the one #7488 chose: We now return
`past` instead of `present` (or`future`) when encountering the edge case
where commit_lsn < min_lsn. In my opinion, both `past` and `present` are
correct responses, but past is slightly better as the lsn returned by
`present` with #7488 is one too "new". In practice, this shouldn't
matter much, but shrug.
We agreed in slack that this is the better approach:

## Problem
PR #7230 attempted to introduce a WAL ingest threshold for checking
whether enough deltas are stacked to warrant creating a new image layer.
However, this check was incorrectly performed at the compaction
partition level instead of the timeline level. Hence, it inhibited GC
for any keys outside of the first partition.
## Summary of Changes
Hoist the check up to the timeline level.

# Problem
(Re-stating the problem from #7124 for posterity)
The `test_bulk_ingest` benchmark shows about 2x lower throughput with
`tokio-epoll-uring` compared to `std-fs`.
That's why we temporarily disabled it in #7238.
The reason for this regression is that the benchmark runs on a system
without memory pressure and thus std-fs writes don't block on disk IO
but only copy the data into the kernel page cache.
`tokio-epoll-uring` cannot beat that at this time, and possibly never.
(However, under memory pressure, std-fs would stall the executor thread
on kernel page cache writeback disk IO. That's why we want to use
`tokio-epoll-uring`. And we likely want to use O_DIRECT in the future,
at which point std-fs becomes an absolute show-stopper.)
More elaborate analysis:
https://neondatabase.notion.site/Why-test_bulk_ingest-is-slower-with-tokio-epoll-uring-918c5e619df045a7bd7b5f806cfbd53f?pvs=4
# Changes
This PR increases the buffer size of `blob_io` and `EphemeralFile` from
PAGE_SZ=8k to 64k.
Longer-term, we probably want to do double-buffering / pipelined IO.
# Resource Usage
We currently do not flush the buffer when freezing the InMemoryLayer.
That means a single Timeline can have multiple 64k buffers alive, esp if
flushing is slow.
This poses an OOM risk.
We should either bound the number of frozen layers
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7317).
Or we should change the freezing code to flush the buffer and drop the
allocation.
However, that's future work.
# Performance
(Measurements done on i3en.3xlarge.)
The `test_bulk_insert.py` is too noisy, even with instance storage. It
varies by 30-40%. I suspect that's due to compaction. Raising amount of
data by 10x doesn't help with the noisiness.)
So, I used the `bench_ingest` from @jcsp 's #7409 .
Specifically, the `ingest-small-values/ingest 128MB/100b seq` and
`ingest-small-values/ingest 128MB/100b seq, no delta` benchmarks.
| | | seq | seq, no delta |
|-----|-------------------|-----|---------------|
| 8k | std-fs | 55 | 165 |
| 8k | tokio-epoll-uring | 37 | 107 |
| 64k | std-fs | 55 | 180 |
| 64k | tokio-epoll-uring | 48 | 164 |
The `8k` is from before this PR, the `64k` is with this PR.
The values are the throughput reported by the benchmark (MiB/s).
We see that this PR gets `tokio-epoll-uring` from 67% to 87% of `std-fs`
performance in the `seq` benchmark. Notably, `seq` appears to hit some
other bottleneck at `55 MiB/s`. CC'ing #7418 due to the apparent
bottlenecks in writing delta layers.
For `seq, no delta`, this PR gets `tokio-epoll-uring` from 64% to 91% of
`std-fs` performance.

Changes
-------
This PR replaces the `EphemeralFile::write_blob`-specifc `struct Writer`
with re-use of `owned_buffers_io::write::BufferedWriter`.
Further, it restructures the code to cleanly separate
* the high-level aspect of EphemeralFile's write_blob / read_blk API
* the page-caching aspect
* the aspect of IO
* performing buffered write IO to an underlying VirtualFile
* serving reads from either the VirtualFile or the buffer if it hasn't
been flushed yet
* the annoying "feature" that reads past the end of the written range
are allowed and expected to return zeroed memory, as long as one remains
within one PAGE_SZ
These are testability/logging improvements spun off from #7475
- Don't log warnings for shutdown errors in compute hook
- Revise logging around heartbeats and reconcile_all so that we aren't
emitting such a large volume of INFO messages under normal quite
conditions.
- Clean up the `last_error` of TenantShard to hold a ReconcileError
instead of a String, and use that properly typed error to suppress
reconciler cancel errors during reconcile_all_now. This is important for
tests that iteratively call that, as otherwise they would get 500 errors
when some reconciler in flight was cancelled (perhaps due to a state
change on the tenant shard starting a new reconciler).
Before PR #7377, on-demand SLRU download always used the basebackup's
LSN in the SLRU download, but that LSN might get garbage-collected away
in the pageserver. We should request the latest LSN, like with GetPage
requests, with the LSN just indicating that we know that the page hasn't
been changed since the LSN (since the basebackup in this case).
Add test to demonstrate the problem. Without the fix, it fails with
"tried to request a page version that was garbage collected" error from
the pageserver.
I wrote this test as part of earlier PR #6693, but that fell through
the cracks and was never applied. PR #7377 superseded the fix from
that older PR, but the test is still valid.
Instead of thinking in terms of 'latest' and 'lsn' of the request,
each request has two LSNs: the request LSN and 'not_modified_since'
LSN. The request is nominally made at the request LSN, that determines
what page version we want to see. But as a hint, we also include
'not_modified_since'. It tells the pageserver that the page has not
been modified since that LSN, which allows the pageserver to skip
waiting for newer WAL to arrive, and could allow more optimizations in
the future.
Refactor the internal functions to calculate the request LSN to
calculate both LSNs.
Sending two LSNs to the pageserver requires using the new protocol
version 2. The previous commit added the server support for it, but we
still default to the old protocol for compatibility with old
pageservers. The 'neon.protocol_version' GUC can be used to use the
new protocol.
The new protocol addresses one cause of issue #6211, although you can
still get the same error if you have a standby that is lagging behind
so that the page version it needs is genuinely GC'd away.
In the old protocol version, the client sent with each request:
- latest: bool. If true, the client requested the latest page
version, and the 'lsn' was just a hint of when the page was last
modified
- lsn: Lsn, the page version to return
This protocol didn't allow requesting a page at a particular
non-latest LSN and *also* sending a hint on when the page was last
modified. That put a read only compute into an awkward position where
it had to either request each page at the replay-LSN, which could be
very close to the last LSN written in the primary and therefore
require the pageserver to wait for it to arrive, or an older LSN which
could already be garbage collected in the pageserver, resulting in an
error. The new protocol version fixes that by allowing a read only
compute to send both LSNs.
To use the new protocol version, use "pagestream_v2" command instead
of just "pagestream". The old protocol version is still supported, for
compatibility with old computes (and in fact there is no client
support yet, it is added by the next commit).
The 'latest' argument was passed to the functions in
pgdatadir_mapping.rs to know when they can update the relsize
cache. Commit e69ff3fc00 changed how the relsize cache is updated,
making the 'latest' argument unused.

## Problem
We are currently supporting two read paths. No bueno.
## Summary of changes
High level: use vectored read path to serve get page requests - gated by
`get_impl` config
Low level:
1. Add ps config, `get_impl` to specify which read path to use when
serving get page requests
2. Fix base cached image handling for the vectored read path. This was
subtly broken: previously we
would not mark keys that went past their cached lsn as complete. This is
a self standing change which
could be its own PR, but I've included it here because writing separate
tests for it is tricky.
3. Fork get page to use either the legacy or vectored implementation
4. Validate the use of vectored read path when serving get page requests
against the legacy implementation.
Controlled by `validate_vectored_get` ps config.
5. Use the vectored read path to serve get page requests in tests (with
validation).
## Note
Since the vectored read path does not go through the page cache to read
buffers, this change also amounts to a removal of the buffer page cache. Materialized page cache
is still used.
## Problem
The `WithClientIp` AsyncRead/Write abstraction never filled me with much
joy. I would just rather read the protocol header once and then get the
remaining buf and reader.
## Summary of changes
* Replace `WithClientIp::wait_for_addr` with `read_proxy_protocol`.
* Replace `WithClientIp` with `ChainRW`.
* Optimise `ChainRW` to make the standard path more optimal.
## Problem
Storage controller memory can spike very high if we have many tenants
and they all try to reconcile at the same time.

## Summary of changes
- Add a CLI arg `--reconciler-concurrency`, defaulted to 128
- Add a semaphore to Service with this many units
- In `maybe_reconcile_shard`, try to acquire semaphore unit. If we can't
get one, return a ReconcileWaiter for a future sequence number, and push
the TenantShardId onto a channel of delayed IDs.
- In `process_result`, consume from the channel of delayed IDs if there
are semaphore units available and call maybe_reconcile_shard again for
these delayed shards.
This has been tested in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7475,
but will land that PR separately because it contains other changes &
needs the test stabilizing. This change is worth merging sooner, because
it fixes a practical issue with larger shard counts.
Currently we move data to the intended storage class via lifecycle
rules, but those are a daily batch job so data first spends up to a day
in standard storage.
Therefore, make it possible to specify the storage class used for
uploads to S3 so that the data doesn't have to be migrated
automatically.
The advantage of this is that it gives cleaner billing reports.

## Problem
If the previous step of the vectored left no further keyspace to
investigate (i.e. keyspace remains empty after removing keys completed in the previous step),
then we'd still grab the layers lock, potentially add an in-mem layer to the fringe
and at some further point read its index without reading any values from it.
## Summary of changes
If there's nothing left in the current keyspace, then skip the search
and just select the next item from the fringe as usual.
When running `test_pg_regress[release-pg16]` with the vectored read path
for singular gets this improved perf drastically (see PR cover letter).
## Correctness
Since no keys remained from the previous range (i.e. we are on a leaf
node) there's nothing that search can find in deeper nodes.
## Problem
Vectored and non-vectored read paths don't publish the same set of
metrics. Metrics parity is needed for coalescing the read paths.
## Summary of changes
* Publish reconstruct time and fetching data for reconstruct time from
the vectored read path
* Remove pageserver_getpage_reconstruct_seconds{res="err"} - wasn't used
anyway
As seen with a recent incident, eviction tasks can cause pageserver-wide
permit starvation on the background task semaphore when synthetic size
calculation takes a long time for a tenant that has more than our permit
number of timelines or multiple tenants that have slow synthetic size
and total number of timelines exceeds the permits. Metric links can be
found in the internal [slack thread].
As a solution, release the permit while waiting for the state guarding
the synthetic size calculation. This will most likely hurt the eviction
task eviction performance, but that does not matter because we are
hoping to get away from it using OnlyImitiate policy anyway and rely
solely on disk usage-based eviction.

There was an edge case where
`get_lsn_by_timestamp`/`find_lsn_for_timestamp` could have returned an
lsn that is before the limits we enforce: when we did find SLRU entries
with timestamps before the one we search for.
The API contract of `get_lsn_by_timestamp` is to not return something
before the anchestor lsn.

## Problem
We already made a change in #6407 to make pitr_interval authoritative
for synthetic size calculations (do not charge users for data retained
due to gc_horizon), but that change didn't cover the case where someone
entirely disables time-based retention by setting pitr_interval=0
Relates to: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6374
## Summary of changes
When pitr_interval is zero, do not set `pitr_cutoff` based on
gc_horizon.
gc_horizon is still enforced, but separately (its value is passed
separately, there was never a need to claim pitr_cutoff to gc_horizon)
## More detail
### Issue 1
Before this PR, we would skip the update_gc_info for timelines with
last_record_lsn() < gc_horizon.
Let's call such timelines "tiny".
The rationale for that presumably was that we can't GC anything in the
tiny timelines, why bother to call update_gc_info().
However, synthetic size calculation relies on up-to-date
update_gc_info() data.
Before this PR, tiny timelines would never get an updated
GcInfo::pitr_horizon (it remained Lsn(0)).
Even on projects with pitr_interval=0d.
With this PR, update_gc_info is always called, hence
GcInfo::pitr_horizon is always updated, thereby
providing synthetic size calculation with up-to-data data.
### Issue 2
Before this PR, regardless of whether the timeline is "tiny" or not,
GcInfo::pitr_horizon was clamped to at least last_record_lsn -
gc_horizon, even if the pitr window in terms of LSN range was shorter
(=less than) the gc_horizon.
With this PR, that clamping is removed, so, for pitr_interval=0, the
pitr_horizon = last_record_lsn.
## Problem
Split off from https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7399, which is
the first piece of code that does a WithDelimiter object listing using a
prefix that isn't a full directory name.
## Summary of changes
- Revise list function to not append a `/` to the prefix -- prefixes
don't have to end with a slash.
- Fix local_fs implementation of list to not assume that WithDelimiter
case will always use a directory as a prerfix.
- Remove `list_files`, `list_prefixes` wrappers, as they add little
value and obscure the underlying list function -- we need callers to
understand the semantics of what they're really calling (listobjectsv2)
Extracted from https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7375. We assume
everything >= 0x80 are metadata keys. AUX file keys are part of the
metadata keys, and we use `0x90` as the prefix for AUX file keys.
The AUX file encoding is described in the code comment. We use xxhash128
as the hash algorithm. It seems to be portable according to the
introduction,
> xxHash is an Extremely fast Hash algorithm, processing at RAM speed
limits. Code is highly portable, and produces hashes identical across
all platforms (little / big endian).
...though whether the Rust version follows the same convention is
unknown and might need manual review of the library. Anyways, we can
always change the hash algorithm before rolling it out in
staging/end-user, and I made a quick decision to use xxhash here because
it generates 128b hash + portable. We can save the discussion of which
hash algorithm to use later.

## Problem
Vectored get would descend into ancestor timelines for aux files.
This is not the behaviour of the legacy read path and blocks cutting
over to the vectored read path.
Fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7379
## Summary of Changes
Treat non inherited keys specially in vectored get. At the point when
we want to descend into the ancestor mark all pending non inherited keys
as errored out at the key level. Note that this diverges from the
standard vectored get behaviour for missing keys which is a top level
error. This divergence is required to avoid blocking compaction in case
such an error is encountered when compaction aux files keys. I'm pretty
sure the bug I just described predates the vectored get implementation,
but it's still worth fixing.
## Problem
The `export_import_between_pageservers` script us to do major storage format changes
in the past. If we have to do such breaking changes in the future this approach
wouldn't be suitable because:
1. It doesn't scale to the current size of the fleet
2. It loses history
## Summary of changes
Remove the script and its associated test.
Keep `fullbasebackup` and friends because it's useful for debugging.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/11648
Instead of trusting that a request with latest == true means that the
request LSN was at least last_record_lsn, remember explicitly when the
relation cache was initialized.
Incidentally, this allows updating the relation size cache also on reads
from read-only endpoints, when the endpoint is at a relatively recent
LSN (more recent than the end of the timeline when the timeline was
loaded in the pageserver).
Add a comment to wait_or_get_last_lsn() that it might be better to use
an older LSN when possible. Note that doing that would be unsafe,
without the relation cache changes in this commit!
As part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7375 and to improve
the current vectored get implementation, we separate the missing key
error out. This also saves us several Box allocations in the get page
implementation.
## Summary of changes
* Create a caching field of layer traversal id for each of the layer.
* Remove box allocations for layer traversal id retrieval and implement
MissingKey error message as before. This should be a little bit faster.
* Do not format error message until `Display`.
* For in-mem layer, the descriptor is different before/after frozen. I'm
using once lock for that.

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.

## Problem
Currently we cannot configure retries, also, we don't really have
visibility of what's going on there.
## Summary of changes
* Added cli params
* Improved logging
* Decrease the number of retries: it feels like most of retries doesn't
help. Once there would be better errors handling, we can increase it
back.
Before, we asserted that a layer would only be loaded by the timeline
that initially created it. Now, with the ancestor detach, we will want
to utilize remote copy as much as possible, so we will need to open
other timeline layers as our own.
Cc: #6994
Currently, any `Timeline::schedule_uploads` will generate a fresh
`TimelineMetadata` instead of updating the values, which it means to
update. This makes it impossible for #6994 to work while `Timeline`
receives layer flushes by overwriting any configured new
`ancestor_timeline_id` and possible `ancestor_lsn`.
The solution is to only make full `TimelineMetadata` "updates" from one
place: branching. At runtime, update only the three fields, same as
before in `Timeline::schedule_updates`.
There were two issues with the test at page boundaries:
1. If the first logical message with 10 bytes payload crossed a page
boundary, the calculated 'base_size' was too large because it included
the page header.
2. If it was inserted near the end of a page so that there was not
enough room for another one, we did "remaining_lsn += XLOG_BLCKSZ" but
that didn't take into account the page headers either.
As a result, the test would fail if the WAL insert position at the
beginning of the test was too close to the end of a WAL page. Fix the
calculations by repeating the 10-byte logical message if the starting
position is not suitable.
I bumped into this with PR #7377; it changed the arguments of a few SQL
functions in neon_test_utils extension, which changed the WAL positions
slightly, and caused a test failure.
This is similar to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7436, but
for different test.
As noted in the comment, the craft_internal() function fails if the
inserted WAL happens to land at page boundary. I bumped into that with
PR #7377; it changed the arguments of a few SQL functions in
neon_test_utils extension, which changed the WAL positions slightly, and
caused a test failure.

## Problem
When we migrate a large existing tenant, we would like to be able to
ensure it has pre-loaded layers onto a pageserver managed by the storage
controller.
## Summary of changes
- Add `storcon_cli tenant-warmup`, which configures the tenant into
PlacementPolicy::Secondary (unless it's already attached), and then
polls the secondary download API reporting progress.
- Extend a test case to check that when onboarding with a secondary
location pre-created, we properly use that location for our first
attachment.
## Problem
Vectored read path may return an image that's newer than the request lsn
under certain circumstances.
```
LSN
^
|
|
500 | ------------------------- -> branch point
400 | X
300 | X
200 | ------------------------------------> requested lsn
100 | X
|---------------------------------> Key
Legend:
* X - page images
```
The vectored read path inspects each ancestor timeline one by one
starting from the current one.
When moving into the ancestor timeline, the current code resets the
current search lsn (called `cont_lsn` in code)
to the lsn of the ancestor timeline
([here](d5708e7435/pageserver/src/tenant/timeline.rs (L2971))).
For instance, if the request lsn was 200, we would:
1. Look into the current timeline and find nothing for the key
2. Descend into the ancestor timeline and set `cont_lsn=500`
3. Return the page image at LSN 400
Myself and Christian find it very unlikely for this to have happened in
prod since the vectored read path
is always used at the last record lsn.
This issue was found by a regress test during the work to migrate get
page handling to use the vectored
implementation. I've applied my fix to that wip branch and it fixed the
issue.
## Summary of changes
The fix is to set the current search lsn to the min between the
requested LSN and the ancestor lsn.
Hence, at step 2 above we would set the current search lsn to 200 and
ignore the images above that.
A test illustrating the bug is also included. Fails without the patch
and passes with it.
#7030 introduced an annoying papercut, deeming a failure to acquire a
strong reference to `LayerInner` from `DownloadedLayer::drop` as a
canceled eviction. Most of the time, it wasn't that, but just timeline
deletion or tenant detach with the layer not wanting to be deleted or
evicted.
When a Layer is dropped as part of a normal shutdown, the `Layer` is
dropped first, and the `DownloadedLayer` the second. Because of this, we
cannot detect eviction being canceled from the `DownloadedLayer::drop`.
We can detect it from `LayerInner::drop`, which this PR adds.
Test case is added which before had 1 started eviction, 2 canceled. Now
it accurately finds 1 started, 1 canceled.
## Problem
External contributors need information on how to use the storage
controller.
## Summary of changes
- Background content on what the storage controller is.
- Deployment information on how to use it.
This is not super-detailed, but should be enough for a well motivated
third party to get started, with an occasional peek at the code.
## Problem
Some tenants were observed to stop doing downloads after some time
## Summary of changes
- Fix a rogue `<` that was incorrectly scheduling work when `now` was
_before_ the scheduling target, rather than after. This usually resulted
in too-frequent execution, but could also result in never executing, if
the current time has advanced ahead of `next_download` at the time we
call `schedule()`.
- Fix in-memory list of timelines not being amended after timeline
deletion: the resulted in repeated harmless logs about the timeline
being removed, and redundant calls to remove_dir_all for the timeline
path.
- Add a log at startup to make it easier to see a particular tenant
starting in secondary mode (this is for parity with the logging that
exists when spawning an attached tenant). Previously searching on tenant
ID didn't provide a clear signal as to how the tenant was started during
pageserver start.
- Add a test that exercises secondary downloads using the background
scheduling, whereas existing tests were using the API hook to invoke
download directly.
For "timeline ancestor merge" or "timeline detach," we need to "cut"
delta layers at particular LSN. The name "truncate" is not used as it
would imply that a layer file changes, instead of what happens: we copy
keys with Lsn less than a "cut point".
Cc: #6994
Add the "copy delta layer prefix" operation to DeltaLayerInner, re-using
some of the vectored read internals. The code is `cfg(test)` until it
will be used later with a more complete integration test.
## Problem
Sometimes rejected metric might record invalid events.
## Summary of changes
* Only record it `rejected` was explicitly set.
* Change order in logs.
* Report metrics if not under high-load.
## Problem
This trace is emitted whenever a vectored read touches the end of a
delta layer file. It's a perfectly normal case, but I expected it to be
more rare when implementing the code.
## Summary of changes
Demote log to debug.
## Problem
When calling `./neon_local timeline` a confusing error message pops up:
`command failed: no tenant subcommand provided`
## Summary of changes
Add `add-help-for-timeline-arg` for timeline commands so when no
argument for the timeline is provided help is printed.
## Problem
There is an unused dead code.
## Summary of changes
Let's remove it. In case we would need it in the future, we can always
return it back.
Also removed cli arguments. They shouldn't be used by anyone but us.
## Problem
For PRs, by default, we check out a phantom merge commit (merge a branch
into the main), but using a real branches head when finding `build-tools`
image tag.
## Summary of changes

github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}` for PRs

Leftover from my LFC benchmarks. Safekeepers only listen on `127.0.0.1`
for `neon_local`. This pull request adds support for listening on other
address. To specify a custom address, modify `.neon/config`.
```
[[safekeepers]]
listen_addr = "192.168.?.?"
```
Endpoints created by neon_local still use 127.0.0.1 and I will fix them
later. I didn't fix it in the same pull request because my benchmark
setting does not use neon_local to create compute nodes so I don't know
how to fix it yet -- maybe replacing a few `127.0.0.1`s.

## Problem
We specify a bunch of possible error codes in the pageserver api swagger
spec. This is error prone and annoying to work with.
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/pull/11907 introduced generic
error handling on the control plane side, so we can now clean up the
spec.
## Summary of changes

* Update a couple route handlers which would previously return an error
without a `msg` field in the response body.

## Problem
Many users have access to ipv6 subnets (eg a /64). That gives them 2^64
addresses to play with
## Summary of changes
Truncate the address to /64 to reduce the attack surface.
Todo:
~~Will NAT64 be an issue here? AFAIU they put the IPv4 address at the
end of the IPv6 address. By truncating we will lose all that detail.~~
It's the same problem as a host sharing IPv6 addresses between clients.
I don't think it's up to us to solve. If a customer is getting DDoSed,
then they likely need to arrange a dedicated IP with us.
## Problem
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7355
The optimize_secondary function calls schedule_shard to check for
improvements, but if there are exactly the same number of nodes as there
are replicas of the shard, it emits some scary looking logs about no
nodes being elegible.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7355
## Summary of changes
- Add a mode to SchedulingContext that controls logging: this should be
useful in future any time we add a log to the scheduling path, to avoid
it becoming a source of spam when the scheduler is called during
optimization.
## Problem
test_sharding_smoke recently got an added section that checks deletion
of a sharded tenant. The storage controller does a retry loop for
deletion, waiting for a 404 response. When deletion is a bit slow (debug
builds), the retry of deletion was getting a 500 response -- this caused
the test to become flaky (example failure:
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/release-proxy/8659801445/index.html#testresult/b4cbf5b58190f60e/retries)
There was a false comment in the code:
```
match tenant.current_state() {
TenantState::Broken { .. } | TenantState::Stopping { .. } => {
- // If a tenant is broken or stopping, DeleteTenantFlow can
- // handle it: broken tenants proceed to delete, stopping tenants
- // are checked for deletion already in progress.
```
If the tenant is stopping, DeleteTenantFlow does not in fact handle it,
but returns a 500-yielding errror.
## Summary of changes
Before calling into DeleteTenantFlow, if the tenant is in
stopping|broken state then return 202 if a deletion is in progress. This
makes the API friendlier for retries.
The historic AlreadyInProgress (409) response still exists for if we
enter DeleteTenantFlow and unexpectedly see the tenant stopping. That
should go away when we implement #5080 . For the moment, callers that
handle 409s should continue to do so.
Before this PR, the `nix::poll::poll` call would stall the executor.
This PR refactors the `walredo::process` module to allow for different
implementations, and adds a new `async` implementation which uses
`tokio::process::ChildStd{in,out}` for IPC.
The `sync` variant remains the default for now; we'll do more testing in
staging and gradual rollout to prod using the config variable.
Performance
-----------
I updated `bench_walredo.rs`, demonstrating that a single `async`-based
walredo manager used by N=1...128 tokio tasks has lower latency and
higher throughput.
I further did manual less-micro-benchmarking in the real pageserver
binary.
Methodology & results are published here:
https://neondatabase.notion.site/2024-04-08-async-walredo-benchmarking-8c0ed3cc8d364a44937c4cb50b6d7019?pvs=4
tl;dr:
- use pagebench against a pageserver patched to answer getpage request &
small-enough working set to fit into PS PageCache / kernel page cache.
- compare knee in the latency/throughput curve
- N tenants, each 1 pagebench clients
- sync better throughput at N < 30, async better at higher N
- async generally noticable but not much worse p99.X tail latencies
- eyeballing CPU efficiency in htop, `async` seems significantly more
CPU efficient at ca N=[0.5*ncpus, 1.5*ncpus], worse than `sync` outside
of that band
Mental Model For Walredo & Scheduler Interactions
-------------------------------------------------
Walredo is CPU-/DRAM-only work.
This means that as soon as the Pageserver writes to the pipe, the
walredo process becomes runnable.
To the Linux kernel scheduler, the `$ncpus` executor threads and the
walredo process thread are just `struct task_struct`, and it will divide
CPU time fairly among them.
In `sync` mode, there are always `$ncpus` runnable `struct task_struct`
because the executor thread blocks while `walredo` runs, and the
executor thread becomes runnable when the `walredo` process is done
handling the request.
In `async` mode, the executor threads remain runnable unless there are
no more runnable tokio tasks, which is unlikely in a production
pageserver.
The above means that in `sync` mode, there is an implicit concurrency
limit on concurrent walredo requests (`$num_runtimes *
$num_executor_threads_per_runtime`).
And executor threads do not compete in the Linux kernel scheduler for
CPU time, due to the blocked-runnable-ping-pong.
In `async` mode, there is no concurrency limit, and the walredo tasks
compete with the executor threads for CPU time in the kernel scheduler.
If we're not CPU-bound, `async` has a pipelining and hence throughput
advantage over `sync` because one executor thread can continue
processing requests while a walredo request is in flight.
If we're CPU-bound, under a fair CPU scheduler, the *fixed* number of
executor threads has to share CPU time with the aggregate of walredo
processes.
It's trivial to reason about this in `sync` mode due to the
blocked-runnable-ping-pong.
In `async` mode, at 100% CPU, the system arrives at some (potentially
sub-optiomal) equilibrium where the executor threads get just enough CPU
time to fill up the remaining CPU time with runnable walredo process.
Why `async` mode Doesn't Limit Walredo Concurrency
--------------------------------------------------
To control that equilibrium in `async` mode, one may add a tokio
semaphore to limit the number of in-flight walredo requests.
However, the placement of such a semaphore is non-trivial because it
means that tasks queuing up behind it hold on to their request-scoped
allocations.
In the case of walredo, that might be the entire reconstruct data.
We don't limit the number of total inflight Timeline::get (we only
throttle admission).
So, that queue might lead to an OOM.
The alternative is to acquire the semaphore permit *before* collecting
reconstruct data.
However, what if we need to on-demand download?
A combination of semaphores might help: one for reconstruct data, one
for walredo.
The reconstruct data semaphore permit is dropped after acquiring the
walredo semaphore permit.
This scheme effectively enables both a limit on in-flight reconstruct
data and walredo concurrency.
However, sizing the amount of permits for the semaphores is tricky:
- Reconstruct data retrieval is a mix of disk IO and CPU work.
- If we need to do on-demand downloads, it's network IO + disk IO + CPU
work.
- At this time, we have no good data on how the wall clock time is
distributed.
It turns out that, in my benchmarking, the system worked fine without a
semaphore. So, we're shipping async walredo without one for now.
Future Work
-----------
We will do more testing of `async` mode and gradual rollout to prod
using the config flag.
Once that is done, we'll remove `sync` mode to avoid the temporary code
duplication introduced by this PR.
The flag will be removed.
The `wait()` for the child process to exit is still synchronous; the
comment [here](
655d3b6468/pageserver/src/walredo.rs (L294-L306))
is still a valid argument in favor of that.
The `sync` mode had another implicit advantage: from tokio's
perspective, the calling task was using up coop budget.
But with `async` mode, that's no longer the case -- to tokio, the writes
to the child process pipe look like IO.
We could/should inform tokio about the CPU time budget consumed by the
task to achieve fairness similar to `sync`.
However, the [runtime function for this is
`tokio_unstable`](`https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/task/fn.consume_budget.html).

* Fixed events parsing
* Added timeout after connection failure
* Separated regional and global redis clients.
## Problem

https://github.com/conradludgate/measured
We're already using it in storage_controller and it seems to be working
well.
## Summary of changes
Replace prometheus with my new measured crate in proxy only.
Apologies for the large diff. I tried to keep it as minimal as I could.
The label types add a bit of boiler plate (but reduce the chance we
mistype the labels), and some of our custom metrics like CounterPair and
HLL needed to be rewritten.
## Problem
`build-build-tools-image` workflow is designed to be run only in one
example per the whole repository. Currently, the job gets cancelled if a
newer one is scheduled, here's an example:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/8419610607
## Summary of changes
- Explicitly set `cancel-in-progress: false` for all jobs that aren't
supposed to be cancelled
## Problem
We are seeing some mysterious long waits when sending requests.
## Summary of changes
- To eliminate risk that we are incurring some unreasonable overheads
from setup, e.g. DNS, use a single Client (internally a pool) instead of
repeatedly constructing a fresh one.
- To make it clearer where a timeout is occurring, apply a 10 second
timeout to requests as we send them.
## Problem
See https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C03QLRH7PPD/p1712529369520409
In case of statements CREATE TABLE AS SELECT... or INSERT FROM SELECT...
we are fetching data from source table and storing it in destination
table. It cause problems with prefetch last-written-lsn is known for the
pages of source table
(which for example happens after compute restart). In this case we get
get global value of last-written-lsn which is changed frequently as far
as we are writing pages of destination table. As a result request-isn
for the prefetch and request-let when this page is actually needed are
different and we got exported prefetch request. So it actually disarms
prefetch.
## Summary of changes
Proposed simple patch stores last-written LSN for the page when it is
not found. So next time we will request last-written LSN for this page,
we will get the same value (certainly if the page was not changed).

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.

## Problem
hyper1 offers control over the HTTP connection that hyper0_14 does not.
We're blocked on switching all services to hyper1 because of how we use

1. self managed server
2. Remove the `WithConnectionGuard` wrapper from `protocol2`
2. Remove TLS listener as it's no longer necessary
3. include first session ID in connection startup logs
Adds another tool to the DR toolbox: ability in pagectl to
recover arbitrary prefixes in remote storage. Requires remote storage config,
the prefix, and the travel-to timestamp parameter

This has been written to resolve a customer recovery case:
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1712256888468009
There is validation of the prefix to prevent accidentially specifying
too generic prefixes, which can cause corruption and data
loss if used wrongly. Still, the validation is not perfect and it is
important that the command is used with caution.
If possible, `time_travel_remote_storage` should
be used instead which has additional checks in place.
Problem
Currently, we base our time based layer rolling decision on the last
time we froze a layer. This means that if we roll a layer and then go
idle for longer than the checkpoint timeout the next layer will be
rolled after the first write. This is of course not desirable.
Summary of changes
Record the timepoint of the first write to an open layer and use that
for time based layer rolling decisions. Note that I had to keep
`Timeline::last_freeze_ts` for the sharded tenant disk consistent lsn
skip hack.
Fixes#7241
## Problem
Proxy doesn't know about existing endpoints.
## Summary of changes
* Added caching of all available endpoints.
* On the high load, use it before going to cplane.
* Report metrics for the outcome.
* For rate limiter and credentials caching don't distinguish between
`-pooled` and not
TODOs:
* Make metrics more meaningful
* Consider integrating it with the endpoint rate limiter
* Test it together with cplane in preview
## Problem
```
Could not resolve host: console.stage.neon.tech
```
## Summary of changes
- replace `console.stage.neon.tech` with `console-stage.neon.build`
## Problem
After switching the default pageserver io-engine to `tokio-epoll-uring`
on CI, we tuned a query that finds flaky tests (in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7077).
It has been almost a month since then, additional query tuning is not
required anymore.
## Summary of changes
- Remove extra condition from flaky tests query
- Also return back parameterisation to the query
## Problem
Some awkwardness in the measured API.
Missing process metrics.
## Summary of changes
Update measured to use the new convenience setup features.
Added measured-process lib.
Added measured support for libmetrics
## Problem
We have two places that use a helper (`ser_rfc3339_millis`) to get serde
to stringify SystemTimes into the desired format.
## Summary of changes
Created a new module `utils::serde_system_time` and inside it a wrapper
type `SystemTime` for `std::time::SystemTime` that
serializes/deserializes to the RFC3339 format.
This new type is then used in the two places that were previously using
the helper for serialization, thereby eliminating the need to decorate
structs.
Closes#7151.
This PR is an off-by-default revision v2 of the (since-reverted) PR
#6555 / commit `3220f830b7fbb785d6db8a93775f46314f10a99b`.
See that PR for details on why running with a single runtime is
desirable and why we should be ready.
We reverted #6555 because it showed regressions in prodlike cloudbench,
see the revert commit message `ad072de4209193fd21314cf7f03f14df4fa55eb1`
for more context.
This PR makes it an opt-in choice via an env var.
The default is to use the 4 separate runtimes that we have today, there
shouldn't be any performance change.
I tested manually that the env var & added metric works.
```
# undefined env var => no change to before this PR, uses 4 runtimes
./target/debug/neon_local start
# defining the env var enables one-runtime mode, value defines that one runtime's configuration
NEON_PAGESERVER_USE_ONE_RUNTIME=current_thread ./target/debug/neon_local start
NEON_PAGESERVER_USE_ONE_RUNTIME=multi_thread:1 ./target/debug/neon_local start
NEON_PAGESERVER_USE_ONE_RUNTIME=multi_thread:2 ./target/debug/neon_local start
NEON_PAGESERVER_USE_ONE_RUNTIME=multi_thread:default ./target/debug/neon_local start
```
I want to use this change to do more manualy testing and potentially
testing in staging.
Future Work
-----------
Testing / deployment ergonomics would be better if this were a variable
in `pageserver.toml`.
It can be done, but, I don't need it right now, so let's stick with the
env var.
It's just unnecessary to use spawn_blocking there, and with
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7331 , it will result in
really just one executor thread when enabling one-runtime with
current_thread executor.
We can currently underflow `pageserver_resident_physical_size_global`,
so the used disk bytes would show `u63::MAX` by mistake. The assumption
of the API (and the documented behavior) was to give the layer files
disk usage.
Switch to reporting numbers that match `df` output.
Fixes: #7336
This is the other main failure mode called out in #6092 , that the test
can shut down the pageserver while it has "future layers" in the index,
and that this results in unexpected stats after restart.
We can avoid this nondeterminism by shutting down the endpoint, flushing
everything from SK to PS, checkpointing, and then waiting for that final
LSN to be uploaded. This is more heavyweight than most of our tests
require, but useful in the case of tests that expect a particular
behavior after restart wrt layer deletions.
## Problem
- Previously, an async mutex was held for the duration of
`ComputeHook::notify`. This served multiple purposes:
- Ensure updates to a given tenant are sent in the proper order
- Prevent concurrent calls into neon_local endpoint updates in test
environments (neon_local is not safe to call concurrently)
- Protect the inner ComputeHook::state hashmap that is used to calculate
when to send notifications.
This worked, but had the major downside that while we're waiting for a
compute hook request to the control plane to succeed, we can't notify
about any other tenants. Notifications block progress of live
migrations, so this is a problem.
## Summary of changes
- Protect `ComputeHook::state` with a sync lock instead of an async lock
- Use a separate async lock ( `ComputeHook::neon_local_lock` ) for
preventing concurrent calls into neon_local, and only take this in the
neon_local code path.
- Add per-tenant async locks in ShardedComputeHookTenant, and use these
to ensure that only one remote notification can be sent at once per
tenant. If several shards update concurrently, their updates will be
coalesced.
- Add an explicit semaphore that limits concurrency of calls into the
cloud control plane.
## Problem
Ingest filtering wasn't being applied to timeline creations, so a
timeline created on a sharded tenant would use 20MB+ on each shard (each
shard got a full copy). This didn't break anything, but is inefficient
and leaves the system in a harder-to-validate state where shards
initially have some data that they will eventually drop during
compaction.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6649
## Summary of changes
- in `import_rel`, filter block-by-block with is_key_local
- During test_sharding_smoke, check that per-shard physical sizes are as
expected
- Also extend the test to check deletion works as expected (this was an
outstanding tech debt task)
## Problem
As https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6092 points out, this
test was (ab)using a failpoint!() with 'pause', which was occasionally
causing index uploads to get hung on a stuck executor thread, resulting
in timeouts waiting for remote_consistent_lsn.
That is one of several failure modes, but by far the most frequent.
## Summary of changes
- Replace the failpoint! with a `sleep_millis_async`, which is not only
async but also supports clean shutdown.
- Improve debugging: log the consistent LSN when scheduling an index
upload
- Tidy: remove an unnecessary checkpoint in the test code, where
last_flush_lsn_upload had just been called (this does a checkpoint
internally)
The binary etc were renamed some time ago, but the path in the source
tree remained "attachment_service" to avoid disruption to ongoing PRs.
There aren't any big PRs out right now, so it's a good time to cut over.
- Rename `attachment_service` to `storage_controller`
- Move it to the top level for symmetry with `storage_broker` & to avoid
mixing the non-prod neon_local stuff (`control_plane/`) with the storage
controller which is a production component.
## Problem
Would be nice to have a bit more info on cold start metrics.
## Summary of changes
* Change connect compute latency to include `cold_start_info`.
* Update `ColdStartInfo` to include HttpPoolHit and WarmCached.
* Several changes to make more use of interned strings
Updates the `test-context` dev-dependency of the `remote_storage` crate
to 0.3. This removes a lot of `async_trait` instances.
Related earlier work: #6305, #6464
Found these logs on staging safekeepers:

```
This is because partial backup tries to upload zero segment when there
is no data in timeline. This PR fixes this bug introduced in #6530.
This test was occasionally flaky: it already allowed the log for the
scheduler complaining about Stop state, but not the log for
maybe_reconcile complaining.
## Problem
When a location_conf request was repeated with no changes, we failed to
build the list of shards in the result.
## Summary of changes
Remove conditional that only generated a list of updates if something
had really changed. This does some redundant database updates, but it is
preferable to having a whole separate code path for no-op changes.

## Problem
The API client was written around the same time as some of the server
APIs changed from TenantId to TenantShardId
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6154
## Summary of changes
- Refactor mgmt_api timeline_info and keyspace methods to use
TenantShardId to match the server
This doesn't make pagebench sharding aware, but it paves the way to do
so later.
## Problem
In the test for https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6776, a test
cases uses tiny layer sizes and tiny stripe sizes. This hits a scenario
where a shard's checkpoint interval spans a region where none of the
content in the WAL is ingested by this shard. Since there is no layer to
flush, we do not advance disk_consistent_lsn, and this causes the test
to fail while waiting for LSN to advance.
## Summary of changes
- Pass an LSN through `layer_flush_start_tx`. This is the LSN to which
we have frozen at the time we ask the flush to flush layers frozen up to
this point.
- In the layer flush task, if the layers we flush do not reach
`frozen_to_lsn`, then advance disk_consistent_lsn up to this point.
- In `maybe_freeze_ephemeral_layer`, handle the case where
last_record_lsn has advanced without writing a layer file: this ensures
that disk_consistent_lsn and remote_consistent_lsn advance anyway.
The net effect is that the disk_consistent_lsn is allowed to advance
past regions in the WAL where a shard ingests no data, and that we
uphold our guarantee that remote_consistent_lsn always eventually
reaches the tip of the WAL.
The case of no layer at all is hard to test at present due to >0 shards
being polluted with SLRU writes, but I have tested it locally with a
branch that disables SLRU writes on shards >0. We can tighten up the
testing on this in future as/when we refine shard filtering (currently
shards >0 need the SLRU because they use it to figure out cutoff in GC
using timestamp-to-lsn).
Some time ago, we had an issue where a deletion queue hang was also
causing timeline deletions to hang.
This was unnecessary because the timeline deletion doesn't _need_ to
flush the deletion queue, it just does it as a pleasantry to make the
behavior easier to understand and test.
In this PR, we wrap the flush calls in a 10 second timeout (typically
the flush takes milliseconds) so that in the event of issues with the
deletion queue, timeline deletions are slower but not entirely blocked.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6440
part of #6628
Before this PR, we used a std::sync::RwLock to coalesce multiple
callers on one walredo spawning. One thread would win the write lock
and others would queue up either at the read() or write() lock call.
In a scenario where a compute initiates multiple getpage requests
from different Postgres backends (= different page_service conns),
and we don't have a walredo process around, this means all these
page_service handler tasks will enter the spawning code path,
one of them will do the spawning, and the others will stall their
respective executor thread because they do a blocking
read()/write() lock call.
I don't know exactly how bad the impact is in reality because
posix_spawn uses CLONE_VFORK under the hood, which means that the
entire parent process stalls anyway until the child does `exec`,
which in turn resumes the parent.
But, anyway, we won't know until we fix this issue.
And, there's definitely a future way out of stalling the
pageserver on posix_spawn, namely, forking template walredo processes
that fork again when they need to be per-tenant.
This idea is tracked in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7320.
Changes
-------
This PR fixes that scenario by switching to use `heavier_once_cell`
for coalescing. There is a comment on the struct field that explains
it in a bit more nuance.
### Alternative Design
An alternative would be to use tokio::sync::RwLock.
I did this in the first commit in this PR branch,
before switching to `heavier_once_cell`.
Performance
-----------
I re-ran the `bench_walredo` and updated the results, showing that
the changes are neglible.
For the record, the earlier commit in this PR branch that uses
`tokio::sync::RwLock` also has updated benchmark numbers, and the
results / kinds of tiny regression were equivalent to
`heavier_once_cell`.
Note that the above doesn't measure performance on the cold path, i.e.,
when we need to launch the process and coalesce. We don't have a
benchmark
for that, and I don't expect any significant changes. We have metrics
and we log spawn latency, so, we can monitor it in staging & prod.
Risks
-----
As "usual", replacing a std::sync primitive with something that yields
to
the executor risks exposing concurrency that was previously implicitly
limited to the number of executor threads.
This would be the first one for walredo.
The risk is that we get descheduled while the reconstruct data is
already there.
That could pile up reconstruct data.
In practice, I think the risk is low because once we get scheduled
again, we'll
likely have a walredo process ready, and there is no further await point
until walredo is complete and the reconstruct data has been dropped.
This will change with async walredo PR #6548, and I'm well aware of it
in that PR.
## Problem
Currently, using `storcon-cli` requires user to select a token with
either `pageserverapi` or `admin` scope depending on which endpoint
they're using.
## Summary of changes
- In check_permissions, permit access with the admin scope even if the
required scope is missing. The effect is that an endpoint that required
`pageserverapi` now accepts either `pageserverapi` or `admin`, and for
the CLI one can simply use an `admin` scope token for everything.

## Problem
`test_empty_tenant_size` was marked `xfail` and a few other tests were
skipped.
## Summary of changes
Stabilise `test_empty_tenant_size`. This test attempted to disable
checkpointing for the postgres instance
and expected that the synthetic size remains stable for an empty tenant.
When debugging I noticed that
postgres *was* issuing a checkpoint after the transaction in the test
(perhaps something changed since the
test was introduced). Hence, I relaxed the size check to allow for the
checkpoint key written on the pageserver.
Also removed the checks for synthetic size inputs since the expected
values differ between postgres versions.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7138
This PR is a fallout from work on #7062.
# Changes
- Unify the freeze-and-flush and hard shutdown code paths into a single
method `Timeline::shutdown` that takes the shutdown mode as an argument.
- Replace `freeze_and_flush` bool arg in callers with that mode
argument, makes them more expressive.
- Switch timeline deletion to use `Timeline::shutdown` instead of its
own slightly-out-of-sync copy.
- Remove usage of `task_mgr::shutdown_watcher` /
`task_mgr::shutdown_token` where possible
# Future Work
Do we really need the freeze_and_flush?
If we could get rid of it, then there'd be no need for a specific
shutdown order.
Also, if you undo this patch's changes to the `eviction_task.rs` and
enable RUST_LOG=debug, it's easy to see that we do leave some task
hanging that logs under span `Connection{...}` at debug level. I think
it's a pre-existing issue; it's probably a broker client task.
## Problem
For reasons unrelated to this PR, I would like to make use of the tenant
conf in the `InMemoryLayer`. Previously, this was not possible without
copying and manually updating the copy to keep it in sync with updates.
## Summary of Changes:
Replace the `Arc<RwLock<AttachedTenantConf>>` with
`Arc<ArcSwap<AttachedTenantConf>>` (how many `Arc(s)` can one fit in a
type?). The most interesting part of this change is the updating of the
tenant config (`set_new_tenant_config` and
`set_new_location_config`). In theory, these two may race, although the
storage controller should prevent this via the tenant exclusive op lock.
Particular care has been taken to not "lose" a location config update by
using the read-copy-update approach when updating only the config.
Add support for backing up partial segments to remote storage. Disabled
by default, can be enabled with `--partial-backup-enabled`.
Safekeeper timeline has a background task which is subscribed to
`commit_lsn` and `flush_lsn` updates. After the partial segment was
updated (`flush_lsn` was changed), the segment will be uploaded to S3 in
about 15 minutes.
The filename format for partial segments is
`Segment_Term_Flush_Commit_skNN.partial`, where:
- `Segment` – the segment name, like `000000010000000000000001`
- `Term` – current term
- `Flush` – flush_lsn in hex format `{:016X}`, e.g. `00000000346BC568`
- `Commit` – commit_lsn in the same hex format
- `NN` – safekeeper_id, like `1`
The full object name example:
`000000010000000000000002_2_0000000002534868_0000000002534410_sk1.partial`
Each safekeeper will keep info about remote partial segments in its
control file. Code updates state in the control file before doing any S3
operations. This way control file stores information about all
potentially existing remote partial segments and can clean them up after
uploading a newer version.
Closes#6336
## Problem
(Follows https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7237)
Some API users will query a tenant to wait for it to activate.
Currently, we return the current status of the tenant, whatever that may
be. Under heavy load, a pageserver starting up might take a long time to
activate such a tenant.
## Summary of changes
- In `tenant_status` handler, call wait_to_become_active on the tenant.
If the tenant is currently waiting for activation, this causes it to
skip the queue, similiar to other API handlers that require an active
tenant, like timeline creation. This avoids external services waiting a
long time for activation when polling GET /v1/tenant/<id>.
Tiered compaction hasn't scheduled the upload of image layers. In the
`test_gc_feedback.py` test this has caused warnings like with tiered
compaction:
```
INFO request[...] Deleting layer [...] not found in latest_files list, never uploaded?
```
Which caused errors like:
```
ERROR layer_delete[...] was unlinked but was not dangling
```
Fixes#7244
We want to move the code base away from task_mgr.
This PR refactors the walreceiver code such that it doesn't use
`task_mgr` anymore.
# Background
As a reminder, there are three tasks in a Timeline that's ingesting WAL.
`WalReceiverManager`, `WalReceiverConnectionHandler`, and
`WalReceiverConnectionPoller`.
See the documentation in `task_mgr.rs` for how they interact.
Before this PR, cancellation was requested through
task_mgr::shutdown_token() and `TaskHandle::shutdown`.
Wait-for-task-finish was implemented using a mixture of
`task_mgr::shutdown_tasks` and `TaskHandle::shutdown`.
This drawing might help:
<img width="300" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/assets/956573/b6be7ad6-ecb3-41d0-b410-ec85cb8d6d20">
# Changes
For cancellation, the entire WalReceiver task tree now has a
`child_token()` of `Timeline::cancel`. The `TaskHandle` no longer is a
cancellation root.
This means that `Timeline::cancel.cancel()` is propagated.
For wait-for-task-finish, all three tasks in the task tree hold the
`Timeline::gate` open until they exit.
The downside of using the `Timeline::gate` is that we can no longer wait
for just the walreceiver to shut down, which is particularly relevant
for `Timeline::flush_and_shutdown`.
Effectively, it means that we might ingest more WAL while the
`freeze_and_flush()` call is ongoing.
Also, drive-by-fix the assertiosn around task kinds in `wait_lsn`. The
check for `WalReceiverConnectionHandler` was ineffective because that
never was a task_mgr task, but a TaskHandle task. Refine the assertion
to check whether we would wait, and only fail in that case.
# Alternatives
I contemplated (ab-)using the `Gate` by having a separate `Gate` for
`struct WalReceiver`.
All the child tasks would use _that_ gate instead of `Timeline::gate`.
And `struct WalReceiver` itself would hold an `Option<GateGuard>` of the
`Timeline::gate`.
Then we could have a `WalReceiver::stop` function that closes the
WalReceiver's gate, then drops the `WalReceiver::Option<GateGuard>`.
However, such design would mean sharing the WalReceiver's `Gate` in an
`Arc`, which seems awkward.
A proper abstraction would be to make gates hierarchical, analogous to
CancellationToken.
In the end, @jcsp and I talked it over and we determined that it's not
worth the effort at this time.

## Problem
The vectored read path holds the layer map lock while visiting a
timeline.
## Summary of changes
* Rework the fringe order to hold `Layer` on `Arc<InMemoryLayer>`
handles instead of descriptions that are resolved by the layer map at
the time of read. Note that previously `get_values_reconstruct_data` was
implemented for the layer description which already knew the lsn range
for the read. Now it is implemented on the new `ReadableLayer` handle
and needs to get the lsn range as an argument.
* Drop the layer map lock after updating the fringe.

## Problem
- When we scheduled locations, we were doing it without any context
about other shards in the same tenant
- After a shard split, there wasn't an automatic mechanism to migrate
the attachments away from the split location
- After a shard split and the migration away from the split location,
there wasn't an automatic mechanism to pick new secondary locations so
that the end state has no concentration of locations on the nodes where
the split happened.
Partially completes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7139
## Summary of changes
- Scheduler now takes a `ScheduleContext` object that can be populated
with information about other shards
- During tenant creation and shard split, we incrementally build up the
ScheduleContext, updating it for each shard as we proceed.
- When scheduling new locations, the ScheduleContext is used to apply a
soft anti-affinity to nodes where a tenant already has shards.
- The background reconciler task now has an extra phase `optimize_all`,
which runs only if the primary `reconcile_all` phase didn't generate any
work. The separation is that `reconcile_all` is needed for availability,
but optimize_all is purely "nice to have" work to balance work across
the nodes better.
- optimize_all calls into two new TenantState methods called
optimize_attachment and optimize_secondary, which seek out opportunities
to improve placment:
- optimize_attachment: if the node where we're currently attached has an
excess of attached shard locations for this tenant compared with the
node where we have a secondary location, then cut over to the secondary
location.
- optimize_secondary: if the node holding our secondary location has an
excessive number of locations for this tenant compared with some other
node where we don't currently have a location, then create a new
secondary location on that other node.
- a new debug API endpoint is provided to run background tasks
on-demand. This returns a number of reconciliations in progress, so
callers can keep calling until they get a `0` to advance the system to
its final state without waiting for many iterations of the background
task.
Optimization is run at an implicitly low priority by:
- Omitting the phase entirely if reconcile_all has work to do
- Skipping optimization of any tenant that has reconciles in flight
- Limiting the total number of optimizations that will be run from one
call to optimize_all to a constant (currently 2).
The idea of that low priority execution is to minimize the operational
risk that optimization work overloads any part of the system. It happens
to also make the system easier to observe and debug, as we avoid running
large numbers of concurrent changes. Eventually we may relax these
limitations: there is no correctness problem with optimizing lots of
tenants concurrently, and optimizing multiple shards in one tenant just
requires housekeeping changes to update ShardContext with the result of
one optimization before proceeding to the next shard.
## Problem
Part of the legacy (but current) compaction algorithm is to find a stack
of overlapping delta layers which will be turned
into an image layer. This operation is exponential in terms of the
number of matching layers and we do it roughly every 20 seconds.
## Summary of changes
Only check if a new image layer is required if we've ingested a certain
amount of WAL since the last check.
The amount of wal is expressed in terms of multiples of checkpoint
distance, with the intuition being that
that there's little point doing the check if we only have two new L1
layers (not enough to create a new image).
## Problem
- Control plane can deadlock if it calls into a function that requires
reconciliation to complete, while refusing compute notification hooks
API calls.
## Summary of changes
- Fail faster in the notify path in 438 errors: these were originally
expected to be transient, but in practice it's more common that a 438
results from an operation blocking on the currently API call, rather
than something happening in the background.
- In ensure_attached, relax the condition for spawning a reconciler:
instead of just the general maybe_reconcile path, do a pre-check that
skips trying to reconcile if the shard appears to be attached. This
avoids doing work in cases where the tenant is attached, but is dirty
from a reconciliation point of view, e.g. due to a failed compute
notification.
## Problem
Proxy release to a preprod automatically triggers a deployment of storage
controller (`deployStorageController=true` by default)
## Summary of changes
- Set `deployStorageController=false` for proxy releases to preprod
- Set explicitly `deployStorageController=true` for storage releases to
preprod and prod
## Problem
During this week's deployment we observed panics due to the blobs
for certain keys not fitting in the vectored read buffers. The likely
cause of this is a bloated AUX_FILE_KEY caused by logical replication.
## Summary of changes
This pr fixes the issue by allocating a buffer big enough to fit
the widest read. It also has the benefit of saving space if all keys
in the read have blobs smaller than the max vectored read size.
If the soft limit for the max size of a vectored read is violated,
we print a warning which includes the offending key and lsn.
A randomised (but deterministic) end to end test is also added for
vectored reads on the delta layer.
## Problem
In the event of bugs with scheduling or reconciliation, we need to be
able to switch this off at a per-tenant granularity.
This is intended to mitigate risk of issues with
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7181, which makes scheduling
more involved.
Closes: #7103
## Summary of changes
- Introduce a scheduling policy per tenant, with API to set it
- Refactor persistent.rs helpers for updating tenants to be more general
- Add tests
Many tests like `test_live_migration` or
`test_timeline_deletion_with_files_stuck_in_upload_queue` set
`compaction_threshold` to 1, to create a lot of changes/updates. The
compaction threshold was passed as `fanout` parameter to the
tiered_compaction function, which didn't support values of 1 however.
Now we change the assert to support it, while still retaining the
exponential nature of the increase in range in terms of lsn that a layer
is responsible for.
A large chunk of the failures in #6964 was due to hitting this issue
that we now resolved.
Part of #6768.
## Problem
See https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/11559
If we have multiple shards, we need to reset connections to all shards
involved in prefetch (having active prefetch requests) if connection
with any of them is lost.
## Summary of changes
In `prefetch_on_ps_disconnect` drop connection to all shards with active
page requests.

## Problem
We don't want to run an excessive e2e test suite on neonvm if there are
no relevant changes.
## Summary of changes
- Check PR diff and if there are no relevant compute changes (in
`vendor/`, `pgxn/`, `libs/vm_monitor` or `Dockerfile.compute-node`
- Switch job from `small` to `ubuntu-latest` runner to make it possible
to use GitHub CLI
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.
## Problem
In a recent refactor, we accidentally dropped the cancel session early
## Summary of changes

## Summary of changes
Separate authenticate from wake compute.
Do not call wake compute second time if we managed to connect to
postgres or if we got it not from cache.
## Problem
hard to see where time is taken during HTTP flow.
## Summary of changes
add a lot more for query state. add a conn_id field to the sql-over-http
span
## Problem
`tokio::io::copy_bidirectional` doesn't close the connection once one of
the sides closes it. It's not really suitable for the postgres protocol.
## Summary of changes
Fork `copy_bidirectional` and initiate a shutdown for both connections.

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.
Release 2023-12-19
We need to do a config change that requires restarting the pageservers.
Slip in two metrics-related commits that didn't make this week's regularly release.
Pre-merge `git merge --squash` of
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6115
Lowering the tracing level in get_value_reconstruct_data and
get_or_maybe_download from info to debug reduces the overhead
of span creation in non-debug environments.
## Problem
#6112 added some logs and metrics: clean these up a bit:
- 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`.
```

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.

## Problem
Folks have re-taged releases for `pg_jsonschema` and `pg_graphql` (to
increase timeouts on their CI), for us, these are a noop changes,
but unfortunately, this will cause our builds to fail due to checksums
mismatch (this might not strike right away because of the build cache).

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
shouldn't get errors.

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
(introduced recently in #5020). When returning pending, the runtime

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.

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).

Reverted PR: #3869
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.

Calculation of logical size is now async because of layer downloads, so

makes the `Compaction failed, retrying in 2s: Cannot run compaction

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).

* 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.

- 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

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.

We also show a better error in case we couldn't parse the

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.

* 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.

// TODO(christian): instead of what we do here, create a pageserver_api::config::ConfigToml (PR #7656)
// FIXME: the paths should be shell-escaped to handle paths with spaces, quotas etc.
The storage controller sits between administrative API clients and pageservers, and handles the details of mapping tenants to pageserver tenant shards. For example, creating a tenant is one API call to the storage controller,
which is mapped into many API calls to many pageservers (for multiple shards, and for secondary locations).
It implements a pageserver-compatible API that may be used for CRUD operations on tenants and timelines, translating these requests into appropriate operations on the shards within a tenant, which may be on many different pageservers. Using this API, the storage controller may be used in the same way as the pageserver's administrative HTTP API, hiding
the underlying details of how data is spread across multiple nodes.
The storage controller also manages generations, high availability (via secondary locations) and live migrations for tenants under its management. This is done with a reconciliation loop pattern, where tenants have an “intent” state and a “reconcile” task that tries to make the outside world match the intent.
## APIs
The storage controller’s HTTP server implements four logically separate APIs:
-`/v1/...` path is the pageserver-compatible API. This has to be at the path root because that’s where clients expect to find it on a pageserver.
-`/control/v1/...` path is the storage controller’s API, which enables operations such as registering and management pageservers, or executing shard splits.
-`/debug/v1/...` path contains endpoints which are either exclusively used in tests, or are for use by engineers when supporting a deployed system.
-`/upcall/v1/...` path contains endpoints that are called by pageservers. This includes the `/re-attach` and `/validate` APIs used by pageservers
to ensure data safety with generation numbers.
The API is authenticated with a JWT token, and tokens must have scope `pageserverapi` (i.e. the same scope as pageservers’ APIs).
See the `http.rs` file in the source for where the HTTP APIs are implemented.
## Database
The storage controller uses a postgres database to persist a subset of its state. Note that the storage controller does _not_ keep all its state in the database: this is a design choice to enable most operations to be done efficiently in memory, rather than having to read from the database. See `persistence.rs` for a more comprehensive comment explaining what we do and do not persist: a useful metaphor is that we persist objects like tenants and nodes, but we do not
persist the _relationships_ between them: the attachment state of a tenant's shards to nodes is kept in memory and
rebuilt on startup.
The file `persistence.rs` contains all the code for accessing the database, and has a large doc comment that goes into more detail about exactly what we persist and why.
The `diesel` crate is used for defining models & migrations.
Running a local cluster with `cargo neon` automatically starts a vanilla postgress process to host the storage controller’s database.
### Diesel tip: migrations
If you need to modify the database schema, here’s how to create a migration:
- Install the diesel CLI with `cargo install diesel_cli`
- Use `diesel migration generate <name>` to create a new migration
- Populate the SQL files in the `migrations/` subdirectory
- Use `DATABASE_URL=... diesel migration run` to apply the migration you just wrote: this will update the `[schema.rs](http://schema.rs)` file automatically.
- This requires a running database: the easiest way to do that is to just run `cargo neon init ; cargo neon start`, which will leave a database available at `postgresql://localhost:1235/attachment_service`
- Commit the migration files and the changes to schema.rs
- If you need to iterate, you can rewind migrations with `diesel migration revert -a` and then `diesel migration run` again.
- The migrations are build into the storage controller binary, and automatically run at startup after it is deployed, so once you’ve committed a migration no further steps are needed.
## storcon_cli
The `storcon_cli` tool enables interactive management of the storage controller. This is usually
only necessary for debug, but may also be used to manage nodes (e.g. marking a node as offline).

This section is aimed at engineers deploying the storage controller outside of Neon's cloud platform, as
part of a self-hosted system.
_General note: since the default `neon_local` environment includes a storage controller, this is a useful
reference when figuring out deployment._
## Database
It is **essential** that the database used by the storage controller is durable (**do not store it on ephemeral
local disk**). This database contains pageserver generation numbers, which are essential to data safety on the pageserver.
The resource requirements for the database are very low: a single CPU core and 1GiB of memory should work well for most deployments. The physical size of the database is typically under a gigabyte.
Set the URL to the database using the `--database-url` CLI option.
There is no need to run migrations manually: the storage controller automatically applies migrations
when it starts up.
## Configure pageservers to use the storage controller
1. The pageserver `control_plane_api` and `control_plane_api_token` should be set in the `pageserver.toml` file. The API setting should
point to the "upcall" prefix, for example `http://127.0.0.1:1234/upcall/v1/` is used in neon_local clusters.
2. Create a `metadata.json` file in the same directory as `pageserver.toml`: this enables the pageserver to automatically register itself
with the storage controller when it starts up. See the example below for the format of this file.
/// Use [`Self::data`] and [`Self::data_mut`] to access the wrapped state.
/// Once modifications are done, use [`Self::disarm`].
/// If [`Guard`] gets dropped instead of calling [`Self::disarm`], the state is poisoned
/// and subsequent calls to [`Poison::check_and_arm`] will fail with an error.
