## Problem
Currently, vectored blob io only coalesce blocks if they are immediately
adjacent to each other. When we switch to Direct IO, we need a way to
coalesce blobs that are within the dio-aligned boundary but has gap
between them.
## Summary of changes
- Introduces a `VectoredReadCoalesceMode` for `VectoredReadPlanner` and
`StreamingVectoredReadPlanner` which has two modes:
- `AdjacentOnly` (current implementation)
- `Chunked(<alignment requirement>)`
- New `ChunkedVectorBuilder` that considers batching `dio-align`-sized
read, the start and end of the vectored read will respect
`stx_dio_offset_align` / `stx_dio_mem_align` (`vectored_read.start` and
`vectored_read.blobs_at.first().start_offset` will be two different
value).
- Since we break the assumption that blobs within single `VectoredRead`
are next to each other (implicit end offset), we start to store blob end
offsets in the `VectoredRead`.
- Adapted existing tests to run in both `VectoredReadCoalesceMode`.
- The io alignment can also be live configured at runtime.

## Problem
- If a reconciler was waiting to be able to notify computes about a
change, but the control plane was waiting for the controller to finish a
timeline creation/deletion, the overall system can deadlock.
- If a tenant shard was migrated concurrently with a timeline
creation/deletion, there was a risk that the timeline operation could be
applied to a non-latest-generation location, and thereby not really be
persistent. This has never happened in practice, but would eventually
happen at scale.
Closes: #8743
## Summary of changes
- Introduce `Service::tenant_remote_mutation` helper, which looks up
shards & generations and passes them into an inner function that may do
remote I/O to pageservers. Before returning success, this helper checks
that generations haven't incremented, to guarantee that changes are
persistent.
- Convert tenant_timeline_create, tenant_timeline_delete, and
tenant_timeline_detach_ancestor to use this helper.
- These functions no longer block on ensure_attached unless the tenant
was never attached at all, so they should make progress even if we can't
complete compute notifications.
This increases the database load from timeline/create operations, but
only with cheap read transactions.
## Problem
Previously, the controller only used the shard counts for scheduling.
This works well when hosting only many-sharded tenants, but works much
less well when hosting single-sharded tenants that have a greater
deviation in size-per-shard.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7798
## Summary of changes
- Instead of UtilizationScore, carry the full PageserverUtilization
through into the Scheduler.
- Use the PageserverUtilization::score() instead of shard count when
ordering nodes in scheduling.
Q: Why did test_sharding_split_smoke need updating in this PR?
A: There's an interesting side effect during shard splits: because we do
not decrement the shard count in the utilization when we de-schedule the
shards from before the split, the controller will now prefer to pick
_different_ nodes for shards compared with which ones held secondaries
before the split. We could use our knowledge of splitting to fix up the
utilizations more actively in this situation, but I'm leaning toward
leaving the code simpler, as in practical systems the impact of one
shard on the utilization of a node should be fairly low (single digit
%).
In case of corrupted delta layers, we can detect the corruption and bail
out the compaction.

## Summary of changes
The `is_l0` check now takes both layer key range and the layer type.
This allows us to have image layers covering the full key range in
btm-most compaction (upcoming PR). However, we still don't allow delta
layers to cover the full key range, and I will make btm-most compaction
to generate delta layers with the key range of the keys existing in the
layer instead of `Key::MIN..Key::HACK_MAX` (upcoming PR).

Our new policy is to use the "rebase" method and slice all the Neon
commits into a nice patch set when doing a new major version, and use
"merge" method on minor version upgrades on the release branches.
"git merge" preserves the git history of Neon commits on the Postgres
branches. While it's nice to rebase all the Neon changes to a logical
patch set against upstream, having to do it between every minor release
is a fair amount work, and it loses the history, and is more
error-prone.

This reverts commit cbe8c77997.
This change was originally made to test a hypothesis, but after that,
the proper fix#8669 was merged, so now it's not needed. Moreover, the
test is still flaky, so probably this bug was not a reason of the
flakiness.
Related to #8097
This copies a piece of code from `test_scrubber_physical_gc_ancestors`
to fix a source of flakiness: later on we rely on stuff being older than
a second, but the test can run faster under optimal conditions (as
happened to me locally, but also obvservable in
[this](https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/main/10470762360/index.html#testresult/f713b02657db4b4c/retries)

```
## Problem/Solution
TimelineWriter::put_batch is simply a loop over individual puts. Each
put acquires and releases locks, and checks for potentially starting a
new layer. Batching these is more efficient, but more importantly
unlocks future changes where we can pre-build serialized buffers much
earlier in the ingest process, potentially even on the safekeeper
(imagine a future model where some variant of DatadirModification lives
on the safekeeper).
Ensuring that the values in put_batch are written to one layer also
enables a simplification upstream, where we no longer need to write
values in LSN-order. This saves us a sort, but also simplifies follow-on
refactors to DatadirModification: we can store metadata keys and data
keys separately at that level without needing to zip them together in
LSN order later.
## Why?
In this PR, these changes are simplify optimizations, but they are
motivated by evolving the ingest path in the direction of disentangling
extracting DatadirModification from Timeline. It may not obvious how
right now, but the general idea is that we'll end up with three phases
of ingest:
- A) Decode walrecords and build a datadirmodification with all the
simple data contents already in a big serialized buffer ready to write
to an ephemeral layer **<-- this part can be pipelined and parallelized,
and done on a safekeeper!**
- B) Let that datadirmodification see a Timeline, so that it can also
generate all the metadata updates that require a read-modify-write of
existing pages
- C) Dump the results of B into an ephemeral layer.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8452
## Caveats
Doing a big monolithic buffer of values to write to disk is ordinarily
an anti-pattern: we prefer nice streaming I/O. However:
- In future, when we do this first decode stage on the safekeeper, it
would be inefficient to serialize a Vec of Value, and then later
deserialize it just to add blob size headers while writing into the
ephemeral layer format. The idea is that for bulk write data, we will
serialize exactly once.
- The monolithic buffer is a stepping stone to pipelining more of this:
by seriailizing earlier (rather than at the final put_value), we will be
able to parallelize the wal decoding and bulk serialization of data page
writes.
- The ephemeral layer's buffered writer already stalls writes while it
waits to flush: so while yes we'll stall for a couple milliseconds to
write a couple megabytes, we already have stalls like this, just
distributed across smaller writes.
## Benchmarks
This PR is primarily a stepping stone to safekeeper ingest filtering,
but also provides a modest efficiency improvement to the `wal_recovery`
part of `test_bulk_ingest`.

After #8655, we needed to mark some tests to shut down immediately. To
aid these tests, try the new pattern of `flush_ep_to_pageserver`
followed by a non-compacting checkpoint. This moves the general graceful
shutdown problem of having too much to flush at shutdown into the test.
Also, add logging for how long the graceful shutdown took, if we got to
complete it for faster log eyeballing.
Fixes: #8712
Cc: #8715, #8708
Going through the list of recent flaky tests, trying to fix those
related to graceful shutdown.
- test_forward_compatibility: flush and wait for uploads to avoid
graceful shutdown
- test_layer_bloating: in the end the endpoint and vanilla are still up
=> immediate shutdown
- test_lagging_sk: pageserver shutdown is not related to the test =>
immediate shutdown
- test_lsn_lease_size: pageserver flushing is not needed => immediate
shutdown
Additionally:
- remove `wait_for_upload` usage from workload fixture

## Problem
Compaction jobs and other background loops are concurrency-limited
through a global semaphore.
The current counters allow quantifying how _many_ tasks are waiting.
But there is no way to tell how _much_ delay is added by the semaphore.
So, add a counter that aggregates the wall clock time seconds spent
acquiring the semaphore.
The metrics can be used as follows:
* retroactively calculate average acquisition time in a given time range
* compare the degree of background loop backlog among pageservers
The metric is insufficient to calculate
* run-up of ongoing acquisitions that haven't finished acquiring yet
* Not easily feasible because ["Cancelling a call to acquire makes you
lose your place in the
queue"](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/sync/struct.Semaphore.html#method.acquire)
## Summary of changes
* Refactor the metrics to follow the current best practice for typed
metrics in `metrics.rs`.
* Add the new counter.

## Problem
We don't have a convenient way for a human to ask "how far are secondary
downloads along for this tenant".
This is useful when driving migrations of tenants to the storage
controller, as we first create a secondary location and want to see it
warm up before we cut over. That can already be done via storcon_cli,
but we would like a way that doesn't require direct API access.

Add a metric that reports to total size of layers in the heatmap: this
may be used in conjunction with the existing
`pageserver_secondary_resident_physical_size` to estimate "warmth" of
the secondary location.

migrated as it uses version history to be able to work in the face of
ongoing changes.

## Problem
When a secondary location is trying to catch up while a tenant is
receiving new writes, it can become quite wasteful:
- Downloading L0s which are soon destroyed by compaction to L1s
- Downloading older layer files which are soon made irrelevant when
covered by image layers.
## Summary of changes

- L0 layers are the lowest priority
- Other layers are sorted to download the highest LSNs first.
Previously, we protected from multiple ProposerElected messages from the same
walproposer with the following condition:
msg.term == self.get_last_log_term() && self.flush_lsn() >
msg.start_streaming_at
It is not exhaustive, i.e. we could still proceed to truncating WAL even though
safekeeper inserted something since the divergence point has been
calculated. While it was most likely safe because walproposer can't use
safekeeper position to commit WAL until last_log_term reaches the current
walproposer term, let's be more careful and properly calculate the divergence
point like walproposer does.

## Summary of Changes
When sending a snapshot and the control file contains an uploaded
segment:
* Create a copy of the segment in s3 with the destination sk in the
object name
* Tweak the streamed control file to point to the object create in the
previous step
Note that the snapshot endpoint now has to know the id of the requestor,
so the api has been extended to include the node if of the destination
sk.

Some benchmarks and tests might still fail because of #8655 (tracked in
#8708) because we are not fast enough to shut down ([one evidence]).
Partially this is explained by the current validation mode of streaming
k-merge, but otherwise because that is where we use a lot of time in
compaction. Outside of L0 => L1 compaction, the image layer generation
is already guarded by vectored reads doing cancellation checks.
32768 is a wild guess based on looking how many keys we put in each
layer in a bench (1-2 million), but I assume it will be good enough
divisor. Doing checks more often will start showing up as contention
which we cannot currently measure. Doing checks less often might be
reasonable.

## Problem
During `Run rust tests` step (for debug builds), we accidentally rebuild
neon twice (by `cargo test --doc` and by `cargo nextest run`).
It happens because we don't set `cov_prefix` for the `cargo test --doc`
command, which triggers rebuilding with different build flags, and one
more rebuild by `cargo nextest run`.
## Summary of changes
- Set `cov_prefix` for `cargo test --doc` to prevent unneeded rebuilds
## Problem
This command is kind of a hack, used when we're migrating large tenants
and want to get their resident size down. It sets the tenant config to a
fixed value, which omitted heatmap_period, so caused secondaries to get
out of date.
## Summary of changes
- Set heatmap period to the same 300s default that we use elsewhere when
updating eviction settings
This is not as elegant as some general purpose partial modification of
the config, but it practically makes the command safer to use.

1. replace the `map_err` which hid the
`GetReadyAncestorError::Cancelled` with `From<GetReadyAncestorError> for
GetVectoredError` conversion
2. simplifying the code in pgdatadir_mapping to eliminate the token
anyhow wrapping for deserialization errors
3. stop wrapping GetVectoredError as anyhow errors
4. stop wrapping PageReconstructError as anyhow errors
Additionally, produce warnings if we treat any other error (as was legal
before this PR) as missing key.

## Problem
When pageservers do compaction, they frequently create image layers that
make earlier layers un-needed for reads, but then keep those earlier
layers around for 24 hours waiting for time-based eviction to expire
them.
Now that we track layer visibility, we can use it as an input to
eviction, and avoid the 24 hour "disk bump" that happens around
pageserver restarts.
## Summary of changes
- During time-based eviction, if a layer is marked Covered, use the
eviction period as the threshold: i.e. these layers get to remain
resident for at least one iteration of the eviction loop, but then get
evicted. With current settings this means they get evicted after 1h
instead of 24h.
- During disk usage eviction, prioritized evicting covered layers above
all other layers.
Caveats:
- Using the period as the threshold for time based eviction in this case
is a bit of a hack, but it avoids adding yet another configuration
property, and in any case the value of a new property would be somewhat
arbitrary: there's no "right" length of time to keep covered layers
around just in case.
- We had previously planned on removing time-based eviction: this change
would motivate us to keep it around, but we can still simplify the code
later to just do the eviction of covered layers, rather than applying a
TTL policy to all layers.
With additional phases from #8430 the `detach_ancestor::Error` became
untenable. Split it up into phases, and introduce laundering for
remaining `anyhow::Error` to propagate them as most often
`Error::ShuttingDown`.
Additionally, complete FIXMEs.

## Problem
The storage scrubber was reporting warnings for lots of timelines like:
```
WARN Missed some shards at count ShardCount(0) tenant_id=25eb7a83d9a2f90ac0b765b6ca84cf4c
```
These were spurious: these tenants are fine. There was a bug in
accumulating the ShardIndex for each tenant, whereby multiple timelines
would lead us to add the same ShardIndex more than one.
Closes: #8646
## Summary of changes
- Accumulate ShardIndex in a BTreeSet instead of a Vec
- Extend the test to reproduce the issue

With the persistent gc blocking, we can now retry reparenting timelines
which had failed for whatever reason on the previous attempt(s).
Restructure the detach_ancestor into three phases:
- prepare (insert persistent gc blocking, copy lsn prefix, layers)
- detach and reparent
- reparenting can fail, so we might need to retry this portion
- complete (remove persistent gc blocking)

After #8655 we've had a few issues (mostly tracked on #8708) with the
graceful shutdown. In order to shutdown more of the processes and catch
more errors, for example, from all pageservers, do an immediate shutdown
for those nodes which fail the initial (possibly graceful) shutdown.
Cc: #6485
## Problem
We use a set of **Neon** reuse databases in benchmarking.yml which are
still using pg14.
Because we want to compare apples to apples and have migrated the AWS
reuse clusters to pg16 we should also use pg16 for Neon.
## Summary of changes
- Automatically restore the test databases for Neon project
A few of the benchmarks have started failing after #8655 where they are
waiting for compactor task. Reads done by image layer creation should
already be cancellation sensitive because vectored get does a check each
time, but try sprinkling additional cancellation points to:
- each partition
- after each vectored read batch
It seems that some benchmarks are failing because they are simply not
stopping to ingest wal on shutdown. It might mean that the tests were
never ran on a stable pageserver situation and WAL has always been left
to be ingested on safekeepers, but let's see if this silences the
failures and "stops the bleeding".

## Problem
We want to mark new PRs and issues created by external users
## Summary of changes
- Add a new workflow which adds `external` label for issues and PRs
created by external users
## Problem
When the utilization API was added, it was just a stub with disk space
information.
Disk space information isn't a very good metric for assigning tenants to
pageservers, because pageservers making full use of their disks would
always just have 85% utilization, irrespective of how much pressure they
had for disk space.
## Summary of changes
- Use the new layer visibiilty metric to calculate a "wanted size" per
tenant, and sum these to get a total local disk space wanted per
pageserver. This acts as the primary signal for utilization.
- Also use the shard count to calculate a utilization score, and take
the max of this and the disk-driven utilization. The shard count limit
is currently set as a constant 20,000, which matches contemporary
operational practices when loading pageservers.
The shard count limit means that for tiny/empty tenants, on a machine
with 3.84TB disk, each tiny tenant influences the utilization score as
if it had size 160MB.
## Problem
When pooled connections are used, session semantic its not preserved,
including GUC settings.
Many customers have particular problem with setting search_path.
But pgbouncer 1.20 has `track_extra_parameters` settings which allows to
track parameters included in startup package which are reported by
Postgres. Postgres has [an official list of parameters that it reports
to the
client](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/protocol-flow.html#PROTOCOL-ASYNC).
This PR makes Postgres also report `search_path` and so allows to
include it in `track_extra_parameters`.
## Summary of changes
Set GUC_REPORT flag for `search_path`.

## Problem
Pageserver exposes some vectored get related configs which are not in
use.
## Summary of changes
Remove the following pageserver configs: get_impl, get_vectored_impl,
and `validate_get_vectored`.
They are not used in the pageserver since
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8601.
Manual overrides have been removed from the aws repo in
https://github.com/neondatabase/aws/pull/1664.
## Problem
This follows a PR that insists all input keys are representable in 16
bytes:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8648
& a PR that prevents postgres from sending us keys that use the high
bits of field2:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8657
Motivation for this change:
1. Ingest is bottlenecked on CPU
2. InMemoryLayer can create huge (~1M value) BTreeMap<Key,_> for its
index.
3. Maps over i128 are much faster than maps over an arbitrary 18 byte
struct.
It may still be worthwhile to make the index two-tier to optimize for
the case where only the last 4 bytes (blkno) of the key vary frequently,
but simply using the i128 representation of keys has a big impact for
very little effort.
Related: #8452
## Summary of changes
- Introduce `CompactKey` type which contains an i128
- Use this instead of Key in InMemoryLayer's index, converting back and
forth as needed.
## Performance
All the small-value `bench_ingest` cases show improved throughput.
The one that exercises this index most directly shows a 35% throughput
increase:
```
ingest-small-values/ingest 128MB/100b seq, no delta
time: [374.29 ms 378.56 ms 383.38 ms]
thrpt: [333.88 MiB/s 338.13 MiB/s 341.98 MiB/s]
change:
time: [-26.993% -26.117% -25.111%] (p = 0.00 < 0.05)
thrpt: [+33.531% +35.349% +36.974%]
Performance has improved.
```
## Problem
We use infrastructure as code (TF) to deploy AWS Aurora and AWS RDS
Postgres database clusters.
Whenever we have a change in TF (e.g. **every year** to upgrade to a
higher Postgres version or when we change the cluster configuration) TF
will apply the change and create a new AWS database cluster.
However our benchmarking testcase also expects databases in these
clusters and tables loaded with data.
So we add auto-detection - if the AWS RDS instances are "empty" we
create the necessary databases and restore a pg_dump.
**Important Notes:**
- These steps are NOT run in each benchmarking run, but only after a new
RDS instance has been deployed.
- the benchmarking workflows use GitHub secrets to find the connection
string for the database. These secrets still need to be (manually or
programmatically using git cli) updated if some port of the connection
string (e.g. user, password or hostname) changes.
## Summary of changes
In each benchmarking run check if
- database has already been created - if not create it
- database has already been restored - if not restore it
Supported databases
- tpch
- clickbench
- user example
Supported platforms:
- AWS RDS Postgres
- AWS Aurora serverless Postgres
Sample workflow run - but this one uses Neon database to test the
restore step and not real AWS databases

second time the restore is skipped

## Problem
Storage controller restarts cause temporary unavailability from the
control plane POV. See RFC for more details.
## Summary of changes
* A couple of small refactors of the storage controller start-up
sequence to make extending it easier.
* A leader table is added to track the storage controller instance
that's currently the leader (if any)
* A peer client is added such that storage controllers can send
`step_down` requests to each other (implemented in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8512).
* Implement the leader cut-over as described in the RFC
* Add `start-as-candidate` flag to the storage controller to gate the
rolling restart behaviour. When the flag is `false` (the default), the
only change from the current start-up sequence is persisting the leader
entry to the database.
It should give us all possible allowed_errors more consistently.
While getting the workflows to pass on
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8632 it was noticed that
allowed_errors are rarely hit (1/4). This made me realize that we always
do an immediate stop by default. Doing a graceful shutdown would had
made the draining more apparent and likely we would not have needed the
#8632 hotfix.
Downside of doing this is that we will see more timeouts if tests are
randomly leaving pause failpoints which fail the shutdown.
The net outcome should however be positive, we could even detect too
slow shutdowns caused by a bug or deadlock.
## Problem
This test was disabled.
## Summary of changes
- Remove the skip marker.
- Explicitly avoid doing compaction & gc during checkpoints (the default
scale doesn't do anything here, but when experimeting with larger scales
it messes things up)
- Set a data size that gives a ~20s runtime on a Hetzner dev machine,
previous one gave very noisy results because it was so small
For reference on a Hetzner AX102:
```

It should take syncrep flush_lsn into account because WAL before it on endpoint
restart is lost, which makes replication miss some data if slot had already been
advanced too far. This commit adds test reproducing the issue and bumps
vendor/postgres to commit with the actual fix.
Noticed this while debugging a test failure in #8673 which only occurs
with real S3 instead of mock S3: if you authenticate to S3 via
`AWS_PROFILE`, then it requires the `HOME` env var to be set so that it
can read inside the `~/.aws` directory.
The scrubber abstraction `StorageScrubber::scrubber_cli` in
`neon_fixtures.py` would otherwise not work. My earlier PR #6556 has
done similar things for the `neon_local` wrapper.
You can try:
```
aws sso login --profile dev
export ENABLE_REAL_S3_REMOTE_STORAGE=y REMOTE_STORAGE_S3_BUCKET=neon-github-ci-tests REMOTE_STORAGE_S3_REGION=eu-central-1 AWS_PROFILE=dev

Disable create tablespace stmt. It turns out it requires much less
effort to do the regress test mode flag than patching the test cases,
and given that we might need to support tablespaces in the future, I
decided to add a new flag `regress_test_mode` to change the behavior of
create tablespace.
Tested manually that without setting regress_test_mode, create
tablespace will be rejected.

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

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

## Problem
Some developers build on MacOS, which doesn't have io_uring.
## Summary of changes
- Add `io_engine_for_bench`, which on linux will give io_uring or panic
if it's unavailable, and on MacOS will always panic.
We do not want to run such benchmarks with StdFs: the results aren't
interesting, and will actively waste the time of any developers who
start investigating performance before they realize they're using a
known-slow I/O backend.
Why not just conditionally compile this benchmark on linux only? Because
even on linux, I still want it to refuse to run if it can't get
io_uring.
Part of #8130, [RFC: Direct IO For Pageserver](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/blob/problame/direct-io-rfc/docs/rfcs/034-direct-io-for-pageserver.md)
## Description
Add pageserver config for evaluating/enabling direct I/O.
- Disabled: current default, uses buffered io as is.
- Evaluate: still uses buffered io, but could do alignment checking and
perf simulation (pad latency by direct io RW to a fake file).
- Enabled: uses direct io, behavior on alignment error is configurable.

Earlier I was thinking we'd need a (ancestor_lsn, timeline_id) ordered
list of reparented. Turns out we did not need it at all. Replace it with
an unordered hashset. Additionally refactor the reparented direct
children query out, it will later be used from more places.
Split off from #8430.
Cc: #6994
Ephemeral files cleanup on drop but did not delay shutdown, leading to
problems with restarting the tenant. The solution is as proposed:
- make ephemeral files carry the gate guard to delay `Timeline::gate`
closing
- flush in-memory layers and strong references to those on
`Timeline::shutdown`
The above are realized by making LayerManager an `enum` with `Open` and
`Closed` variants, and fail requests to modify `LayerMap`.
Additionally:
- fix too eager anyhow conversions in compaction
- unify how we freeze layers and handle errors
- optimize likely_resident_layers to read LayerFileManager hashmap
values instead of bouncing through LayerMap
Fixes: #7830
## Problem
1. Hard to correlate startup parameters with the endpoint that provided
them.
2. Some configurations are not needed in the `ProxyConfig` struct.
## Summary of changes
Because of some borrow checker fun, I needed to switch to an
interior-mutability implementation of our `RequestMonitoring` context
system. Using https://docs.rs/try-lock/latest/try_lock/ as a cheap lock
for such a use-case (needed to be thread safe).
Removed the lock of each startup message, instead just logging only the
startup params in a successful handshake.
Also removed from values from `ProxyConfig` and kept as arguments.
(needed for local-proxy config)
Timeline cancellation running in parallel with gc yields error log lines
like:
```
Gc failed 1 times, retrying in 2s: TimelineCancelled
```
They are completely harmless though and normal to occur. Therefore, only
print those messages at an info level. Still print them at all so that
we know what is going on if we focus on a single timeline.
Part of #8128.
## Problem
Currently, scrubber `scan_metadata` command will return with an error
code if the metadata on remote storage is corrupted with fatal errors.
To safely deploy this command in a cronjob, we want to differentiate
between failures while running scrubber command and the erroneous
metadata. At the same time, we also want our regression tests to catch
corrupted metadata using the scrubber command.
## Summary of changes
- Return with error code only when the scrubber command fails
- Uses explicit checks on errors and warnings to determine metadata
health in regression tests.
**Resolve conflict with `tenant-snapshot` command (after shard split):**
[`test_scrubber_tenant_snapshot`](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/blob/yuchen/scrubber-scan-cleanup-before-prod/test_runner/regress/test_storage_scrubber.py#L23)
failed before applying 422a8443dd
- When taking a snapshot, the old `index_part.json` in the unsharded
tenant directory is not kept.
- The current `list_timeline_blobs` implementation consider no
`index_part.json` as a parse error.
- During the scan, we are only analyzing shards with highest shard
count, so we will not get a parse error. but we do need to add the
layers to tenant object listing, otherwise we will get index is
referencing a layer that is not in remote storage error.
- **Action:** Add s3_layers from `list_timeline_blobs` regardless of
parsing error

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

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

## Problem
We have been maintaining two read paths (legacy and vectored) for a
while now. The legacy read-path was only used for cross validation in some tests.
## Summary of changes
* Tweak all tests that were using the legacy read path to use the
vectored read path instead
* Remove the read path dispatching based on the pageserver configs
* Remove the legacy read path code
We will be able to remove the single blob io code in
`pageserver/src/tenant/blob_io.rs` when https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7386 is complete.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8005
Currently, we do not have facilities to persistently block GC on a
tenant for whatever reason. We could do a tenant configuration update,
but that is risky for generation numbers and would also be transient.
Introduce a `gc_block` facility in the tenant, which manages per
timeline blocking reasons.
Additionally, add HTTP endpoints for enabling/disabling manual gc
blocking for a specific timeline. For debugging, individual tenant
status now includes a similar string representation logged when GC is
skipped.

Currently if `GET

requested for a root timeline created within the current pageserver
session, the request handler panics hitting the debug assertion. These
timelines will always have an accurate (at initdb import) calculated
logical size. Fix is to never attempt prioritizing timeline size
calculation if we already have an exact value.

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

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

## Problem
There is an unused safekeeper option `partial_backup_enabled`.
`partial_backup_enabled` was implemented in #6530, but this option was
always turned into enabled in #8022.
If you intended to keep this option for a specific reason, I will close
this PR.
## Summary of changes
I removed an unused safekeeper option `partial_backup_enabled`.
## Problem
In several workflows, we have repeating code which is separated into
two steps:
```bash
mkdir -p $(pwd)/.docker-custom
echo DOCKER_CONFIG=/tmp/.docker-custom >> $GITHUB_ENV
...
rm -rf $(pwd)/.docker-custom
```
Such copy-paste is prone to errors; for example, in one case, instead of
`$(pwd)/.docker-custom`, we use `/tmp/.docker-custom`, which is shared
between workflows.
## Summary of changes
- Create a new action `actions/set-docker-config-dir`, which sets
`DOCKER_CONFIG` and deletes it in a Post action part
Noticed this while debugging a test failure in #8673 which only occurs
with real S3 instead of mock S3: if you authenticate to S3 via
`AWS_PROFILE`, then it requires the `HOME` env var to be set so that it
can read inside the `~/.aws` directory.
The scrubber abstraction `StorageScrubber::scrubber_cli` in
`neon_fixtures.py` would otherwise not work. My earlier PR #6556 has
done similar things for the `neon_local` wrapper.
You can try:
```
aws sso login --profile dev
export ENABLE_REAL_S3_REMOTE_STORAGE=y REMOTE_STORAGE_S3_BUCKET=neon-github-ci-tests REMOTE_STORAGE_S3_REGION=eu-central-1 AWS_PROFILE=dev
RUST_BACKTRACE=1 BUILD_TYPE=debug DEFAULT_PG_VERSION=16 ./scripts/pytest -vv --tb=short -k test_scrubber_tenant_snapshot

Disable create tablespace stmt. It turns out it requires much less
effort to do the regress test mode flag than patching the test cases,
and given that we might need to support tablespaces in the future, I
decided to add a new flag `regress_test_mode` to change the behavior of
create tablespace.
Tested manually that without setting regress_test_mode, create
tablespace will be rejected.

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

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

## Problem
Some developers build on MacOS, which doesn't have io_uring.
## Summary of changes
- Add `io_engine_for_bench`, which on linux will give io_uring or panic
if it's unavailable, and on MacOS will always panic.
We do not want to run such benchmarks with StdFs: the results aren't
interesting, and will actively waste the time of any developers who
start investigating performance before they realize they're using a
known-slow I/O backend.
Why not just conditionally compile this benchmark on linux only? Because
even on linux, I still want it to refuse to run if it can't get
io_uring.
Part of #8130, [RFC: Direct IO For Pageserver](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/blob/problame/direct-io-rfc/docs/rfcs/034-direct-io-for-pageserver.md)
## Description
Add pageserver config for evaluating/enabling direct I/O.
- Disabled: current default, uses buffered io as is.
- Evaluate: still uses buffered io, but could do alignment checking and
perf simulation (pad latency by direct io RW to a fake file).
- Enabled: uses direct io, behavior on alignment error is configurable.

We've noticed increased memory usage with the latest release. Drain the
joinset of `page_service` connection handlers to avoid leaking them

TaskTracker was not discussed in original PR #8339 review, so not hot
fixing it in here either.

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

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

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

## Problem
Sometimes, a layer is Covered by hasn't yet been evicted from local disk
(e.g. shortly after image layer generation). It is not good use of
resources to download these to a secondary location, as there's a good
chance they will never be read.
This follows the previous change that added layer visibility:
- #8511
Part of epic:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8398
## Summary of changes
- When generating heatmaps, only include Visible layers
- Update test_secondary_downloads to filter to visible layers when
listing layers from an attached location
## Problem
In staging, we could see that occasionally tenants were wrapping their
pageserver_visible_physical_size metric past zero to 2^64.
This is harmless right now, but will matter more later when we start
using visible size in things like the /utilization endpoint.
## Summary of changes
- Add debug asserts that detect this case. `test_gc_of_remote_layers`
works as a reproducer for this issue once the asserts are added.
- Tighten up the interface around access_stats so that only Layer can
mutate it.
- In Layer, wrap calls to `record_access` in code that will update the
visible size statistic if the access implicitly marks the layer visible

We need both compaction and gc lock for gc-compaction. The lock order
should be the same everywhere, otherwise there could be a deadlock where
A waits for B and B waits for A.
We also had a double-lock issue. The compaction lock gets acquired in
the outer `compact` function. Note that the unit tests directly call
`compact_with_gc`, and therefore not triggering the issue.

Ensure all places acquire compact lock and then gc lock. Remove an extra

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

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

this PR)

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

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

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

of the scrubber to `GenericRemoteStorage`.

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

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

# Problem
We want to bypass PS PageCache for all data block reads, but
`compact_level0_phase1` currently uses `ValueRef::load` to load the WAL
records from delta layers.
Internally, that maps to `FileBlockReader:read_blk` which hits the
PageCache
[here](e78341e1c2/pageserver/src/tenant/block_io.rs (L229-L236)).
# Solution
This PR adds a mode for `compact_level0_phase1` that uses the
`MergeIterator` for reading the `Value`s from the delta layer files.
`MergeIterator` is a streaming k-merge that uses vectored blob_io under
the hood, which bypasses the PS PageCache for data blocks.
Other notable changes:
* change the `DiskBtreeReader::into_stream` to buffer the node, instead
of holding a `PageCache` `PageReadGuard`.
* Without this, we run out of page cache slots in
`test_pageserver_compaction_smoke`.
* Generally, `PageReadGuard`s aren't supposed to be held across await
points, so, this is a general bugfix.
# Testing / Validation / Performance
`MergeIterator` has not yet been used in production; it's being
developed as part of
* https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8002
Therefore, this PR adds a validation mode that compares the existing
approach's value iterator with the new approach's stream output, item by
item.
If they're not identical, we log a warning / fail the unit/regression
test.
To avoid flooding the logs, we apply a global rate limit of once per 10
seconds.
In any case, we use the existing approach's value.
Expected performance impact that will be monitored in staging / nightly
benchmarks / eventually pre-prod:
* with validation:
* increased CPU usage
* ~doubled VirtualFile read bytes/second metric
* no change in disk IO usage because the kernel page cache will likely
have the pages buffered on the second read
* without validation:
* slightly higher DRAM usage because each iterator participating in the
k-merge has a dedicated buffer (as opposed to before, where compactions
would rely on the PS PageCaceh as a shared evicting buffer)
* less disk IO if previously there were repeat PageCache misses (likely
case on a busy production Pageserver)
* lower CPU usage: PageCache out of the picture, fewer syscalls are made
(vectored blob io batches reads)
# Rollout
The new code is used with validation mode enabled-by-default.
This gets us validation everywhere by default, specifically in
- Rust unit tests
- Python tests
- Nightly pagebench (shouldn't really matter)
- Staging
Before the next release, I'll merge the following aws.git PR that
configures prod to continue using the existing behavior:
* https://github.com/neondatabase/aws/pull/1663
# Interactions With Other Features
This work & rollout should complete before Direct IO is enabled because
Direct IO would double the IOPS & latency for each compaction read
(#8240).
# Future Work
The streaming k-merge's memory usage is proportional to the amount of
memory per participating layer.
But `compact_level0_phase1` still loads all keys into memory for
`all_keys_iter`.
Thus, it continues to have active memory usage proportional to the
number of keys involved in the compaction.
Future work should replace `all_keys_iter` with a streaming keys
iterator.
This PR has a draft in its first commit, which I later reverted because
it's not necessary to achieve the goal of this PR / issue #8184.

Currently we lack mechanism to alert unhealthy `scan_metadata` status if

storage controller client introduced to storage scrubber in #8196, it is
viable to set up alert by storing health status in the storage

We intentionally do not store the full output to the database as the
json blobs potentially makes the table really huge. Instead, only a
health status and a timestamp recording the last time metadata health
status is posted on a tenant shard.

If compression is enabled, we currently try compressing each image
larger than a specific size and if the compressed version is smaller, we
write that one, otherwise we use the uncompressed image. However, this
might sometimes be a wasteful process, if there is a substantial amount
of images that don't compress well.
The compression metrics added in #8420
`pageserver_compression_image_in_bytes_total` and
`pageserver_compression_image_out_bytes_total` are well designed for
answering the question how space efficient the total compression process
is end-to-end, which helps one to decide whether to enable it or not.
To answer the question of how much waste there is in terms of trial
compression, so CPU time, we add two metrics:
* one about the images that have been trial-compressed (considered), and
* one about the images where the compressed image has actually been
written (chosen).
There is different ways of weighting them, like for example one could
look at the count, or the compressed data. But the main contributor to
compression CPU usage is amount of data processed, so we weight the
images by their *uncompressed* size. In other words, the two metrics
are:
* `pageserver_compression_image_in_bytes_considered`
* `pageserver_compression_image_in_bytes_chosen`
Part of #5431
## Problem
Old storage buckets can contain a lot of tenants that aren't known to
the control plane at all, because they belonged to test jobs that get
their control plane state cleaned up shortly after running.
In general, it's somewhat unsafe to purge these, as it's hard to
distinguish "control plane doesn't know about this, so it's garbage"
from "control plane said it didn't know about this, which is a bug in
the scrubber, control plane, or API URL configured".
However, the most common case is that we see only a small husk of a
tenant in S3 from a specific old behavior of the software, for example:
- We had a bug where heatmaps weren't deleted on tenant delete
- When WAL DR was first deployed, we didn't delete initdb.tar.zst on
tenant deletion
## Summary of changes
- Add a KnownBug variant for the garbage reason
- Include such cases in the "safe" deletion mode (`--mode=deleted`)
- Add code that inspects tenants missing in control plane to identify
cases of known bugs (this is kind of slow, but should go away once we've
cleaned all these up)
- Add an additional `-min-age` safety check similar to physical GC,
where even if everything indicates objects aren't needed, we won't
delete something that has been modified too recently.

Chaos injection bridges the gap between automated testing (where we do
lots of different things with small, short-lived tenants), and staging

This PR adds a first type of chaos which isn't really very chaotic: it's
live migration of tenants between healthy pageservers. This nevertheless
provides continuous checks that things like clean, prompt shutdown of

that belong to an ancestor. That is not a correctness issue, because
when we delete a timeline, we're always deleting it from all shards, and
destroying data for that timeline is clearly fine.
However, there exists a race where one shard might start doing this
deletion while another shard has not yet received the deletion request,
and might try to access an ancestral layer. This creates ambiguity over
the "all layers referenced by my index should always exist" invariant,
which is important to detecting and reporting corruption.
Now that we have a GC mode for clearing up ancestral layers, we can rely
on that to clean up such layers, and avoid deleting them right away.
This makes things easier to reason about: there are now no cases where a
shard will delete a layer that belongs to a ShardIndex other than
itself.
## Summary of changes
- Modify behavior of RemoteTimelineClient::delete_all
- Add `test_scrubber_physical_gc_timeline_deletion` to exercise this
case
- Tweak AWS SDK config in the scrubber to enable retries. Motivated by
seeing the test for this feature encounter some transient "service
error" S3 errors (which are probably nothing to do with the changes in
this PR)
## Problem
`allure_attach_from_dir` method might create `tar.zst` archives even
if `--alluredir` is not set (i.e. Allure results collection is disabled)

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

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

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

of the scrubber to `GenericRemoteStorage`.
Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7547
## Problem
This code was confusing, untested and covered:
- an impossible case, where intent state is AttacheStale (we never do
this)
- a rare edge case (going from AttachedMulti to Attached), which we were
not testing, and in any case the pageserver internally does the same
Tenant reset in this transition as it would do if we incremented
generation.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8367
## Summary of changes
- Simplify the logic to only skip incrementing the generation if the
location already has the expected generation and the exact same mode.
In some cases, we can get a negative metric for replication_delay_bytes.
My best guess from all the research I've done is that we evaluate
pg_last_wal_receive_lsn() before pg_last_wal_replay_lsn(), and that by
the time everything is said and done, the replay LSN has advanced past
the receive LSN. In this case, our lag can effectively be modeled as
0 due to the speed of the WAL reception and replay.
Since the introduction of sharding, the protocol handling loop in
`handle_pagerequests` cannot know anymore which concrete
`Tenant`/`Timeline` object any of the incoming `PagestreamFeMessage`
resolves to.
In fact, one message might resolve to one `Tenant`/`Timeline` while
the next one may resolve to another one.
To avoid going to tenant manager, we added the `shard_timelines` which
acted as an ever-growing cache that held timeline gate guards open for
the lifetime of the connection.
The consequence of holding the gate guards open was that we had to be
sensitive to every cached `Timeline::cancel` on each interaction with
the network connection, so that Timeline shutdown would not have to wait
for network connection interaction.
We can do better than that, meaning more efficiency & better
abstraction.
I proposed a sketch for it in
* https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8286
and this PR implements an evolution of that sketch.
The main idea is is that `mod page_service` shall be solely concerned
with the following:
1. receiving requests by speaking the protocol / pagestream subprotocol
2. dispatching the request to a corresponding method on the correct
shard/`Timeline` object
3. sending response by speaking the protocol / pagestream subprotocol.
The cancellation sensitivity responsibilities are clear cut:
* while in `page_service` code, sensitivity to page_service cancellation
is sufficient
* while in `Timeline` code, sensitivity to `Timeline::cancel` is
sufficient
To enforce these responsibilities, we introduce the notion of a
`timeline::handle::Handle` to a `Timeline` object that is checked out
from a `timeline::handle::Cache` for **each request**.
The `Handle` derefs to `Timeline` and is supposed to be used for a
single async method invocation on `Timeline`.
See the lengthy doc comment in `mod handle` for details of the design.

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

# Problem
We want to bypass PS PageCache for all data block reads, but
`compact_level0_phase1` currently uses `ValueRef::load` to load the WAL
records from delta layers.
Internally, that maps to `FileBlockReader:read_blk` which hits the
PageCache
[here](e78341e1c2/pageserver/src/tenant/block_io.rs (L229-L236)).
# Solution
This PR adds a mode for `compact_level0_phase1` that uses the
`MergeIterator` for reading the `Value`s from the delta layer files.
`MergeIterator` is a streaming k-merge that uses vectored blob_io under
the hood, which bypasses the PS PageCache for data blocks.
Other notable changes:
* change the `DiskBtreeReader::into_stream` to buffer the node, instead
of holding a `PageCache` `PageReadGuard`.
* Without this, we run out of page cache slots in
`test_pageserver_compaction_smoke`.
* Generally, `PageReadGuard`s aren't supposed to be held across await
points, so, this is a general bugfix.
# Testing / Validation / Performance
`MergeIterator` has not yet been used in production; it's being
developed as part of
* https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8002
Therefore, this PR adds a validation mode that compares the existing
approach's value iterator with the new approach's stream output, item by
item.
If they're not identical, we log a warning / fail the unit/regression
test.
To avoid flooding the logs, we apply a global rate limit of once per 10
seconds.
In any case, we use the existing approach's value.
Expected performance impact that will be monitored in staging / nightly
benchmarks / eventually pre-prod:
* with validation:
* increased CPU usage
* ~doubled VirtualFile read bytes/second metric
* no change in disk IO usage because the kernel page cache will likely
have the pages buffered on the second read
* without validation:
* slightly higher DRAM usage because each iterator participating in the
k-merge has a dedicated buffer (as opposed to before, where compactions
would rely on the PS PageCaceh as a shared evicting buffer)
* less disk IO if previously there were repeat PageCache misses (likely
case on a busy production Pageserver)
* lower CPU usage: PageCache out of the picture, fewer syscalls are made
(vectored blob io batches reads)
# Rollout
The new code is used with validation mode enabled-by-default.
This gets us validation everywhere by default, specifically in
- Rust unit tests
- Python tests
- Nightly pagebench (shouldn't really matter)
- Staging
Before the next release, I'll merge the following aws.git PR that
configures prod to continue using the existing behavior:
* https://github.com/neondatabase/aws/pull/1663
# Interactions With Other Features
This work & rollout should complete before Direct IO is enabled because
Direct IO would double the IOPS & latency for each compaction read
(#8240).
# Future Work
The streaming k-merge's memory usage is proportional to the amount of
memory per participating layer.
But `compact_level0_phase1` still loads all keys into memory for
`all_keys_iter`.
Thus, it continues to have active memory usage proportional to the
number of keys involved in the compaction.
Future work should replace `all_keys_iter` with a streaming keys
iterator.

it's not necessary to achieve the goal of this PR / issue #8184.

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

Part of #7547
If compression is enabled, we currently try compressing each image
larger than a specific size and if the compressed version is smaller, we
write that one, otherwise we use the uncompressed image. However, this
might sometimes be a wasteful process, if there is a substantial amount
of images that don't compress well.
The compression metrics added in #8420
`pageserver_compression_image_in_bytes_total` and
`pageserver_compression_image_out_bytes_total` are well designed for
answering the question how space efficient the total compression process
is end-to-end, which helps one to decide whether to enable it or not.
To answer the question of how much waste there is in terms of trial
compression, so CPU time, we add two metrics:
* one about the images that have been trial-compressed (considered), and
* one about the images where the compressed image has actually been
written (chosen).
There is different ways of weighting them, like for example one could
look at the count, or the compressed data. But the main contributor to
compression CPU usage is amount of data processed, so we weight the
images by their *uncompressed* size. In other words, the two metrics
are:
* `pageserver_compression_image_in_bytes_considered`
* `pageserver_compression_image_in_bytes_chosen`
Part of #5431
## Problem
Old storage buckets can contain a lot of tenants that aren't known to
the control plane at all, because they belonged to test jobs that get
their control plane state cleaned up shortly after running.
In general, it's somewhat unsafe to purge these, as it's hard to
distinguish "control plane doesn't know about this, so it's garbage"
from "control plane said it didn't know about this, which is a bug in
the scrubber, control plane, or API URL configured".
However, the most common case is that we see only a small husk of a
tenant in S3 from a specific old behavior of the software, for example:
- We had a bug where heatmaps weren't deleted on tenant delete
- When WAL DR was first deployed, we didn't delete initdb.tar.zst on
tenant deletion
## Summary of changes
- Add a KnownBug variant for the garbage reason
- Include such cases in the "safe" deletion mode (`--mode=deleted`)
- Add code that inspects tenants missing in control plane to identify
cases of known bugs (this is kind of slow, but should go away once we've
cleaned all these up)
- Add an additional `-min-age` safety check similar to physical GC,
where even if everything indicates objects aren't needed, we won't
delete something that has been modified too recently.

The secondary download HTTP API is meant to return 200 if the download

an outer retry block. If there is a retryable error either during the
listing or during deletion, we just do a fresh start.

## Summary of changes
If L0 compaction did not include all L0 layers, skip image generation.
There are multiple possible solutions to the original issue, i.e., an
alternative is to wrap the partial L0 compaction in a loop until it
compacts all L0 layers. However, considering that we should weight all
tenants equally, the current solution can ensure everyone gets a chance
to run compaction, and those who write too much won't get a chance to
create image layers. This creates a natural backpressure feedback that
they get a slower read due to no image layers are created, slowing down
their writes, and eventually compaction could keep up with their writes
+ generate image layers.
Consider deployment, we should add an alert on "skipping image layer
generation", so that we won't run into the case that image layers are
not generated => incidents again.

Solution
--------
Its better to be slow than to fail the queries.
If the app has a deadline, it can use `statement_timeout`.
In the long term, we want to eliminate wait_lsn timeout.
In the short term (this PR), we bump the wait_lsn timeout to
a larger value to reduce the frequency at which these wait_lsn timeouts
occur.
We will observe SLOs and specifically
`pageserver_wait_lsn_seconds_bucket`
before we eliminate the timeout completely.
## Problem
We are missing the step-down primitive required to implement rolling

all API requests apart from `/control/v1/step_down`, `/status` and
`/metrics`. When receiving the request,
storage controller cancels all pending reconciles and waits for them to
exit gracefully. The response contains
a snapshot of the in-memory observed state.

just a compaction

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

## Problem
Storcon shutdown did not produce a clean observed state. This is not a
problem at the moment, but we will need to stop all reconciles with
clean observed state for rolling restarts.
I tried to test this by collecting the observed state during shutdown
and comparing it with the in-memory observed
state, but it doesn't work because a lot of tests use the cursed attach
hook to create tenants directly through the ps.
## Summary of Changes
Rework storcon shutdown as follows:
* Reconcilers get a separate cancellation token which is a child token
of the global `Service::cancel`.
* Reconcilers get a separate gate
* Add a mechanism to drain the reconciler result queue before
* Put all of this together into a clean shutdown sequence

## Problem
This test was destabilized by
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8431. The threshold is
arbitrary & failures are still quite close to it. At a high level the
test is asserting "eviction was approximately fair to these tenants",
which appears to still be the case when the abs diff between ratios is
slightly higher at ~0.6-0.7.
## Summary of changes
- Change threshold from 0.06 to 0.065. Based on the last ~10 failures
that should be sufficient.
## Problem
Currently, tests may have a scrub during teardown if they ask for it,
but most tests don't request it. To detect "unknown unknowns", let's run
it at the end of every test where possible. This is similar to asserting
that there are no errors in the log at the end of tests.
## Summary of changes
- Remove explicit `enable_scrub_on_exit`
- Always scrub if remote storage is an S3Storage.
## Problem
Re-attach blocks the pageserver http server from starting up. Hence, it
can't reply to heartbeats
until that's done. This makes the storage controller mark the node
off-line (not good). We worked
around this by setting the interval after which nodes are marked offline
to 5 minutes. This isn't a
long term solution.
## Summary of changes
* Introduce a new `NodeAvailability` state: `WarmingUp`. This state
models the following time interval:
* From receiving the re-attach request until the pageserver replies to
the first heartbeat post re-attach
* The heartbeat delta generator becomes aware of this state and uses a
separate longer interval
* Flag `max-warming-up-interval` now models the longer timeout and
`max-offline-interval` the shorter one to
match the names of the states

## Summary of changes
On Saturday we normally run Neon in comparison with AWS RDS-Postgres and
AWS RDS-Aurora.

Before this PR
1.The circuit breaker would trip on CompactionError::Shutdown. That's
wrong, we want to ignore those cases.
2. remote timeline client shutdown would not be mapped to
CompactionError::Shutdown in all circumstances.
We observed this in staging, see
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1721829745384449
This PR fixes (1) with a simple `match` statement, and (2) by switching
a bunch of `anyhow` usage over to distinguished errors that ultimately
get mapped to `CompactionError::Shutdown`.
I removed the implicit `#[from]` conversion from `anyhow::Error` to
`CompactionError::Other` to discover all the places that were mapping
remote timeline client shutdown to `anyhow::Error`.
In my opinion `#[from]` is an antipattern and we should avoid it,
especially for `anyhow::Error`. If some callee is going to return
anyhow, the very least the caller should to is to acknowledge, through a
`map_err(MyError::Other)` that they're conflating different failure
reasons.
## Problem
Jobs `check-linux-arm-build` and `check-codestyle-rust-arm` (from
`.github/workflows/neon_extra_builds.yml`) duplicate `build-neon` and
`check-codestyle-rust` jobs in the main pipeline.
## Summary of changes
- Move `check-linux-arm-build` and `check-codestyle-rust-arm` from extra
builds to the main pipeline
By default git does not find a nice hunk header with rust. New(er)
versions ship with a handy xfuncname pattern, so lets enable that for
all developers.

## Problem
The in-memory layer vectored read was very slow in some conditions
(walingest::test_large_rel) test. Upon profiling, I realised that 80% of
the time was spent building up the binary heap of reads. This stage
isn't actually needed.
## Summary of changes
Remove the planning stage as we never took advantage of it in order to
merge reads. There should be no functional change from this patch.
## Problem
- `build-and-test` workflow is pretty big
- jobs that depend on the matrix job don't start before all variations
are done. I.e. `regress-tests` depend on `build-neon`, but we can't
start `regress-tests` on the release configuration until `build-neon` is
done on release **and debug** configurations. This will be more visible
once we add ARM to the matrix.
## Summary of changes
- Move jobs related to building (`build-neon`) and testing
(`regress-tests`) to a separate job
## Problem
The current bucket based rate limiter is not very intuitive and has some
bad failure cases.
## Summary of changes
Switches from fixed interval buckets to leaky bucket impl. A single
bucket per endpoint,
drains over time. Drains by checking the time since the last check, and
draining tokens en-masse. Garbage collection works similar to before, it
drains a shard (1/64th of the set) every 2048 checks, and it only
removes buckets that are empty.
To be compatible with the existing config, I've faffed to make it take
the min and the max rps of each as the sustained rps and the max bucket
size which should be roughly equivalent.
## Problem
Previously, Timeline::gc_info was only updated in a batch operation at
the start of GC. That means that timelines didn't generally have
accurate information about who their children were before the first GC,
or between GC cycles.
Knowledge of child branches is important for calculating layer
visibility in #8398
## Summary of changes
- Split out part of refresh_gc_info into initialize_gc_info, which is
now called early in startup
- Include TimelineId in retain_lsns so that we can later add/remove the
LSNs for particular children
- When timelines are added/removed, update their parent's retain_lsns
## Problem
In `test_basebackup_with_high_slru_count`, the pageserver is sometimes
mysteriously hanging on startup, having been started+stopped earlier in
the test setup while populating template tenant data.
- #7586
We can't see why this is hanging in this particular test. The test does
some weird stuff though, like attaching a load of broken tenants and
then doing a SIGQUIT kill of a pageserver.
## Summary of changes
- Attach tenants normally instead of doing a failpoint dance to attach
them as broken
- Shut the pageserver down gracefully during init instead of using
immediate mode
- Remove the "sequential" variant of the unstable test, as this is going
away soon anyway
- Log before trying to acquire lock file, so that if it hangs we have a
clearer sense of if that's really where it's hanging. It seems like it
is, but that code does a non-blocking flock so it's surprising.
Implements the TODO from #8466 about retries: now the user of the stream
returned by `list_streaming` is able to obtain the next item in the
stream as often as they want, and retry it if it is an error.
Also adds extends the test for paginated listing to include a dedicated
test for `list_streaming`.

## Problem
LayerAccessStats contains a lot of detail that we don't use: short
histories of most recent accesses, specifics on what kind of task
accessed a layer, etc. This is all stored inside a Mutex, which is
locked every time something accesses a layer.
## Summary of changes
- Store timestamps at a very low resolution (to the nearest second),
sufficient for use on the timescales of eviction.
- Pack access time and last residence change time into a single u64
- Use the high bits of the u64 for other flags, including the new layer
visibility concept.
- Simplify the external-facing model for access stats to just include
what we now track.
Note that the `HistoryBufferWithDropCounter` is removed here because it
is no longer used. I do not dislike this type, we just happen not to use
it for anything else at present.

## Problem
While investigating problem with test_subscriber_restart flukyness, I
found out that this test is not passed at all for PG 14/15 at MacOS

## Summary of changes
Rewrite async connect state machine exactly in the same way as in
Vanilla: call `WaitLatchOrSocket` with `WL_SOCKETR_WRTEABLE` before
calling `PQconnectPoll`.
Please notice that most likely it will not fix flukyness of
test_subscriber_restart.

This adds the ability to list many prefixes in a streaming fashion to
both the `RemoteStorage` trait as well as `GenericRemoteStorage`.
* The `list` function of the `RemoteStorage` trait is implemented by
default in terms of `list_streaming`.
* For the production users (S3, Azure), `list_streaming` is implemented
and the default `list` implementation is used.
* For `LocalFs`, we keep the `list` implementation and make
`list_streaming` call it.
The `list_streaming` function is implemented for both S3 and Azure.
A TODO for later is retries, which the scrubber currently has while the
`list_streaming` implementations lack them.

The main thing in this pull request is the new `generate_key_retention`
function. It decides which deltas to retain and generate images for a
given key based on its history + retain_lsn + horizon.
On that, we generate a flat single level of delta layers over all deltas
included in the compaction. In the future, we can decide whether to
split them over the LSN axis as described in the RFC.

## Problem
`test_change_pageserver` stops pageservers in a way that can overlap
with the controller's heartbeats: the controller can get a heartbeat
success and then immediately find the node unavailable. This particular
situation triggers a log that isn't in our current allow-list of
messages for nodes offline
Example:
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-8339/10048487700/index.html#testresult/19678f27810231df/retries
## Summary of changes
- Add the message to the allow list
## Problem
Postgres is using `access()` function in `GetNewRelFileNumber` to check
if assigned relfilenumber is not used for any other relation. This check
will not work in Neon, because we do not have all files in local
storage.
## Summary of changes
Use smgrexists() instead which will check at page server if such
relfilenode is used.

## Problem
As described in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8398, layer
visibility is a new hint that will help us manage disk space more
efficiently.
## Summary of changes
- Introduce LayerVisibilityHint and store it as part of access stats
- Automatically mark a layer visible if it is accessed, or when it is
created.
The impact on the access stats size will be reversed in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8431
This is functionally a no-op change: subsequent PRs will add the logic
that sets layers to Covered, and which uses the layer visibility as an
input to eviction and heatmap generation.

it had done any compaction.

## Motivation & Context
We want to move away from `task_mgr` towards explicit tracking of child
tasks.
This PR is extracted from https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8339
where I refactor `PageRequestHandler` to not depend on task_mgr anymore.
## Changes
This PR refactors all global tasks but `PageRequestHandler` to use some
combination of `JoinHandle`/`JoinSet` + `CancellationToken`.
The `task_mgr::spawn(.., shutdown_process_on_error)` functionality is
preserved through the new `exit_on_panic_or_error` wrapper.
Some global tasks were not using it before, but as of this PR, they are.
The rationale is that all global tasks are relevant for correct
operation of the overall Neon system in one way or another.
## Future Work
After #8339, we can make `task_mgr::spawn` require a `TenantId` instead
of an `Option<TenantId>` which concludes this step of cleanup work and
will help discourage future usage of task_mgr for global tasks.
Part of #8128.
## Problem
Scrubber uses `scan_metadata` command to flag metadata inconsistencies.
To trust it at scale, we need to make sure the errors we emit is a
reflection of real scenario. One check performed in the scrubber is to
see whether layers listed in the latest `index_part.json` is present in
object listing. Currently, the scrubber does not robustly handle the
case where objects are uploaded/deleted during the scan.
## Summary of changes
**Condition for success:** An object in the index is (1) in the object
listing we acquire from S3 or (2) found in a HeadObject request (new
object).
- Add in the `HeadObject` requests for the layers missing from the
object listing.
- Keep the order of first getting the object listing and then
downloading the layers.
- Update check to only consider shards with highest shard count.
- Skip analyzing a timeline if `deleted_at` tombstone is marked in
`index_part.json`.
- Add new test to see if scrubber actually detect the metadata
inconsistency.
_Misc_
- A timeline with no ancestor should always have some layers.
- Removed experimental histograms
_Caveat_
- Ancestor layer is not cleaned until #8308 is implemented. If ancestor
layers reference non-existing layers in the index, the scrubber will
emit false positives.

The `remote_storage` crate is generic over various backends and thus

backends.

## Problem
This test predates the storage controller. It stops pageservers and
reconfigures computes, but that races with the storage controller's node
failure detection, which can result in restarting nodes not getting the
attachments they expect, and the test failing
## Summary of changes
- Configure the storage controller to use a compute notify hook that
does nothing, so that it cannot interfere with the test's configuration
of computes.
- Instead of using the attach hook, just notify the storage controller
that nodes are offline, and reconcile tenants so that they will
automatically be attached to the other node.
## Problem
Deployed pageserver configurations are all like this:
```
disk_usage_based_eviction:
max_usage_pct: 85
min_avail_bytes: 0
period: "10s"
eviction_order:
type: "RelativeAccessed"
args:
highest_layer_count_loses_first: true
```
But we're maintaining this optional absolute order eviction, with test
cases etc.
## Summary of changes
- Remove absolute order eviction. Make the default eviction policy the
same as how we really deploy pageservers.
## Problem
We have two No.34 RFC.

## Problem
On Azure we need to use username-password authentication in proxy for
regional redis client.
## Summary of changes
This adds `redis_auth_type` to the config with default value of "irsa".
Not specifying it will enforce the `regional_redis_client` to be
configured with IRSA redis (as it's done now).
If "plain" is specified, then the regional client is condifigured with
`redis_notifications`, consuming username:password auth from URI. We
plan to do that for the Azure cloud.
Configuring `regional_redis_client` is required now, there is no opt-out
from configuring it.

[10 second systemd enforced timeout](https://github.com/neondatabase/infra/blob/0a5280b383e43c063d43cbf87fa026543f6d6ad4/.github/ansible/systemd/pageserver.service#L16). This means we are shutting down without flushing ephemeral layers
and have to reingest data in order to serve requests after restarting, potentially making first request latencies worse.
This problem is not yet very acutely felt in storage controller managed pageservers since
storing safekeepers per timeline instead of per tenant because we can't migrate
tenants atomically.
The important question is how updated configuration is delivered from
storage_controller to control plane to provide it to computes. As always, there
are two options, pull and push. Let's do it the same push as with pageserver
`/notify-attach` because 1) it keeps storage_controller out of critical compute
start path 2) provides easier upgrade: there won't be such a thing as 'timeline
managed by control plane / storcon', cplane just takes the value out of its db
when needed 3) uniformity. It makes storage_controller responsible for retrying notifying
control plane until it succeeds.
So, cplane `/notify-safekeepers` for the timeline accepts `Configuration` and
updates it in the db if the provided conf generation is higher (the cplane db
should also store generations for this). Similarly to [`/notify-attach`](https://www.notion.so/neondatabase/Storage-Controller-Control-Plane-interface-6de56dd310a043bfa5c2f5564fa98365), it
should update db which makes the call successful, and then try to schedule
`apply_config` if possible, it is ok if not. storage_controller
should rate limit calling the endpoint, but likely this won't be needed, as migration
throughput is limited by `pull_timeline`.
Timeline (branch) creation in cplane should call storage_controller POST
`tenant/:tenant_id/timeline` like it currently does for sharded tenants.
Response should be augmented with `safekeeper_conf: Configuration`. The call
should be retried until succeeds.
Timeline deletion and tenant deletion in cplane should call appropriate
storage_controller endpoints like it currently does for sharded tenants. The
calls should be retried until they succeed.
### storage_controller implementation
Current 'load everything on startup and keep in memory' easy design is fine.
Single timeline shouldn't take more than 100 bytes (it's 16 byte tenant_id, 16
byte timeline_id, int generation, vec of ~3 safekeeper ids plus some flags), so
10^6 of timelines shouldn't take more than 100MB.
Similar to pageserver attachment Intents storage_controller would have in-memory
`MigrationRequest` (or its absense) for each timeline and pool of tasks trying
to make these request reality; this ensures one instance of storage_controller
won't do several migrations on the same timeline concurrently. In the first
version it is simpler to have more manual control and no retries, i.e. migration
failure removes the request. Later we can build retries and automatic
scheduling/migration. `MigrationRequest` is
```
enum MigrationRequest {
To(Vec<NodeId>),
FinishPending,
}
```
`FinishPending` requests to run the procedure to ensure state is clean: current
configuration is not joint and majority of safekeepers are aware of it, but do
not attempt to migrate anywhere. If current configuration fetched on step 1 is
not joint it jumps to step 7. It should be run at startup for all timelines (but
similarly, in the first version it is ok to trigger it manually).
#### Schema
`safekeepers` table mirroring current `nodes` should be added, except that for
`scheduling_policy` field (seems like `status` is a better name for it): it is enough
to have at least in the beginning only 3 fields: 1) `active` 2) `offline` 3)
`decomissioned`.
`timelines` table:
```
table! {
// timeline_id is primary key
timelines (tenant_id, timeline_id) {
timeline_id -> Varchar,
tenant_id -> Varchar,
generation -> Int4,
sk_set -> Array<Int4>, // list of safekeeper ids
new_sk_set -> Nullable<Array<Int4>>, // list of safekeeper ids, null if not joint conf
cplane_notified_generation -> Int4,
}
}
```
#### API
Node management is similar to pageserver:
1) POST `/control/v1/safekeepers` upserts safekeeper.
2) GET `/control/v1/safekeepers` lists safekeepers.
3) GET `/control/v1/safekeepers/:node_id` gets safekeeper.
4) PUT `/control/v1/safekepers/:node_id/status` changes status to e.g.
`offline` or `decomissioned`. Initially it is simpler not to schedule any
migrations here.
Safekeeper deploy scripts should register safekeeper at storage_contorller as
they currently do with cplane, under the same id.
Timeline creation/deletion: already existing POST `tenant/:tenant_id/timeline`
would 1) choose initial set of safekeepers; 2) write to the db initial
`Configuration` with `INSERT ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING` returning existing row in
case of conflict; 3) create timeline on the majority of safekeepers (already
created is ok).
We don't want to block timeline creation when one safekeeper is down. Currently
this is solved by compute implicitly creating timeline on any safekeeper it is
connected to. This creates ugly timeline state on safekeeper when timeline is
created, but start LSN is not defined yet. It would be nice to remove this; to
do that, controller can in the background retry to create timeline on
safekeeper(s) which missed that during initial creation call. It can do that
through `pull_timeline` from majority so it doesn't need to remember
`parent_lsn` in its db.
Timeline deletion removes the row from the db and forwards deletion to the
current configuration members. Without additional actions deletions might leak,
see below on this; initially let's ignore these, reporting to cplane success if
at least one safekeeper deleted the timeline (this will remove s3 data).
Tenant deletion repeats timeline deletion for all timelines.
Migration API: the first version is the simplest and the most imperative:
1) PUT `/control/v1/safekeepers/migrate` schedules `MigrationRequest`s to move
all timelines from one safekeeper to another. It accepts json
```
{
"src_sk": u32,
"dst_sk": u32,
"limit": Optional<u32>,
}
```
Returns list of scheduled requests.
2) PUT `/control/v1/tenant/:tenant_id/timeline/:timeline_id/safekeeper_migrate` schedules `MigrationRequest`
to move single timeline to given set of safekeepers:
```
{
"desired_set": Vec<u32>,
}
```
Returns scheduled request.
Similar call should be added for the tenant.
It would be great to have some way of subscribing to the results (apart from
looking at logs/metrics).
Migration is executed as described above. One subtlety is that (local) deletion on
source safekeeper might fail, which is not a problem if we are going to
decomission the node but leaves garbage otherwise. I'd propose in the first version
1) Don't attempt deletion at all if node status is `offline`.
2) If it failed, just issue warning.
And add PUT `/control/v1/safekeepers/:node_id/scrub` endpoint which would find and
remove garbage timelines for manual use. It will 1) list all timelines on the
safekeeper 2) compare each one against configuration storage: if timeline
doesn't exist at all (had been deleted), it can be deleted. Otherwise, it can
be deleted under generation number if node is not member of current generation.
Automating this is untrivial; we'd need to register all potential missing
deletions <tenant_id,timeline_id,generation,node_id> in the same transaction
which switches configurations. Similarly when timeline is fully deleted to
prevent cplane operation from blocking when some safekeeper is not available
deletion should be also registered.
One more task pool should infinitely retry notifying control plane about changed
safekeeper sets.
3) GET `/control/v1/tenant/:tenant_id/timeline/:timeline_id/` should return
current in memory state of the timeline and pending `MigrationRequest`,
if any.
4) PUT `/control/v1/tenant/:tenant_id/timeline/:timeline_id/safekeeper_migrate_abort` tries to abort the
migration by switching configuration from the joint to the one with (previous) `sk_set` under CAS
(incrementing generation as always).
#### Dealing with multiple instances of storage_controller
Operations described above executed concurrently might create some errors but do
not prevent progress, so while we normally don't want to run multiple instances
of storage_controller it is fine to have it temporarily, e.g. during redeploy.
Any interactions with db update in-memory controller state, e.g. if migration
request failed because different one is in progress, controller remembers that
and tries to finish it.
## Testing
`neon_local` should be switched to use storage_controller, playing role of
control plane.
There should be following layers of tests:
1) Model checked TLA+ spec specifies the algorithm and verifies its basic safety.
2) To cover real code and at the same time test many schedules we should have
simulation tests. For that, configuration storage, storage_controller <->
safekeeper communication and pull_timeline need to be mocked and main switch
procedure wrapped to as a node (thread) in simulation tests, using these
mocks. Test would inject migrations like it currently injects
safekeeper/walproposer restars. Main assert is the same -- committed WAL must
not be lost.
3) Since simulation testing injects at relatively high level points (not
syscalls), it omits some code, in particular `pull_timeline`. Thus it is
better to have basic tests covering whole system as well. Extended version of
`test_restarts_under_load` would do: start background load and do migration
under it, then restart endpoint and check that no reported commits
had been lost. I'd also add one more creating classic network split scenario, with
one compute talking to AC and another to BD while migration from nodes ABC to ABD
happens.
4) Simple e2e test should ensure that full flow including cplane notification works.
## Order of implementation and rollout
Note that
- Control plane parts and integration with it is fully independent from everything else
(tests would use simulation and neon_local).
- There is a lot of infra work making storage_controller aware of timelines and safekeepers
and its impl/rollout should be separate from migration itself.
- Initially walproposer can just stop working while it observers joint configuration.
Such window would be typically very short anyway.
To rollout smoothly, both walproposer and safekeeper should have flag
`configurations_enabled`; when set to false, they would work as currently, i.e.
walproposer is able to commit on whatever safekeeper set it is provided. Until
all timelines are managed by storcon we'd need to use current script to migrate
and update/drop entries in the storage_controller database if it has any.
Safekeepers would need to be able to talk both current and new protocol version
with compute to reduce number of computes restarted in prod once v2 protocol is
deployed (though before completely switching we'd need to force this).
Let's have the following rollout order:
- storage_controller becomes aware of safekeepers;
- storage_controller gets timeline creation for new timelines and deletion requests, but
doesn't manage all timelines yet. Migration can be tested on these new timelines.
To keep control plane and storage_controller databases in sync while control
plane still chooses the safekeepers initially (until all timelines are imported
it can choose better), `TimelineCreateRequest` can get optional safekeepers
field with safekeepers chosen by cplane.
- Then we can import all existing timelines from control plane to
storage_controller and gradually enable configurations region by region.
Very rough implementation order:
- Add concept of configurations to safekeepers (including control file),
implement v3 protocol.
- Implement walproposer changes, including protocol.
- Implement storconn part. Use it in neon_local (and pytest).
- Make cplane store safekeepers per timeline instead of per tenant.
