It got pretty ugly after the last commit. Refactor it so that we first

in this commit yet.

+# Rolling Storage Controller Restarts
+
+## Summary
+
+This RFC describes the issues around the current storage controller restart procedure
+and describes an implementation which reduces downtime to a few milliseconds on the happy path.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Storage controller upgrades (restarts, more generally) can cause multi-second availability gaps.
+While the storage controller does not sit on the main data path, it's generally not acceptable
+to block management requests for extended periods of time (e.g. https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8034).
+
+### Current Implementation
+
+The storage controller runs in a Kubernetes Deployment configured for one replica and strategy set to [Recreate](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/deployment/#recreate-deployment).
+In non Kubernetes terms, during an upgrade, the currently running storage controller is stopped and, only after,
+a new instance is created.
+
+At start-up, the storage controller calls into all the pageservers it manages (retrieved from DB) to learn the
+latest locations of all tenant shards present on them. This is usually fast, but can push into tens of seconds
+under unfavourable circumstances: pageservers are heavily loaded or unavailable.
+
+## Prior Art
+
+There's probably as many ways of handling restarts gracefully as there are distributed systems. Some examples include:
+* Active/Standby architectures: Two or more instance of the same service run, but traffic is only routed to one of them.
+For fail-over, traffic is routed to one of the standbys (which becomes active).
+* Consensus Algorithms (Raft, Paxos and friends): The part of consensus we care about here is leader election: peers communicate to each other
+and use a voting scheme that ensures the existence of a single leader (e.g. Raft epochs).
+
+## Requirements
+
+* Reduce storage controller unavailability during upgrades to milliseconds
+* Minimize the interval in which it's possible for more than one storage controller
+to issue reconciles.
+* Have one uniform implementation for restarts and upgrades
+* Fit in with the current Kubernetes deployment scheme
+
+## Non Goals
+
+* Implement our own consensus algorithm from scratch
+* Completely eliminate downtime storage controller downtime. Instead we aim to reduce it to the point where it looks
+like a transient error to the control plane
+
+## Impacted Components
+
+* storage controller
+* deployment orchestration (i.e. Ansible)
+* helm charts
+
+## Terminology
+
+* Observed State: in-memory mapping between tenant shards and their current pageserver locations - currently built up
+at start-up by quering pageservers
+* Deployment: Kubernetes [primitive](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/deployment/) that models
+a set of replicas
+
+## Implementation
+
+### High Level Flow
+
+At a very high level the proposed idea is to start a new storage controller instance while
+the previous one is still running and cut-over to it when it becomes ready. The new instance,
+should coordinate with the existing one and transition responsibility gracefully. While the controller
+has built in safety against split-brain situations (via generation numbers), we'd like to avoid such
+scenarios since they can lead to availability issues for tenants that underwent changes while two controllers
+were operating at the same time and require operator intervention to remedy.
+
+### Kubernetes Deployment Configuration
+
+On the Kubernetes configuration side, the proposal is to update the storage controller `Deployment`
+to use `spec.strategy.type = RollingUpdate`, `spec.strategy.rollingUpdate.maxSurge=1` and `spec.strategy.maxUnavailable=0`.
+Under the hood, Kubernetes creates a new replica set and adds one pod to it (`maxSurge=1`). The old replica set does not
+scale down until the new replica set has one replica in the ready state (`maxUnavailable=0`).
+
+The various possible failure scenarios are investigated in the [Handling Failures](#handling-failures) section.
+
+### Storage Controller Start-Up
+
+This section describes the primitives required on the storage controller side and the flow of the happy path.
+
+#### Database Table For Leader Synchronization
+
+A new table should be added to the storage controller database for leader synchronization during startup.
+This table will always contain at most one row. The proposed name for the table is `leader` and the schema
+contains two elements:
+* `hostname`: represents the hostname for the current storage controller leader - should be addressible
+from other pods in the deployment
+* `start_timestamp`: holds the start timestamp for the current storage controller leader (UTC timezone) - only required
+for failure case handling: see [Previous Leader Crashes Before New Leader Readiness](#previous-leader-crashes-before-new-leader-readiness)
+
+Storage controllers will read the leader row at start-up and then update it to mark themselves as the leader
+at the end of the start-up sequence. We want compare-and-exchange semantics for the update: avoid the
+situation where two concurrent updates succeed and overwrite each other. The default Postgres isolation
+level is `READ COMMITTED`, which isn't strict enough here. This update transaction should use at least `REPEATABLE
+READ` isolation level in order to [prevent lost updates](https://www.interdb.jp/pg/pgsql05/08.html). Currently,
+the storage controller uses the stricter `SERIALIZABLE` isolation level for all transactions. This more than suits
+our needs here.
+
+```
+START TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL REPEATABLE READ
+UPDATE leader SET hostname=<new_hostname>, start_timestamp=<new_start_ts>
+WHERE hostname=<old_hostname>, start_timestampt=<old_start_ts>;
+```
+
+If the transaction fails or if no rows have been updated, then the compare-and-exchange is regarded as a failure.
+
+#### Step Down API
+
+A new HTTP endpoint should be added to the storage controller: `POST /control/v1/step_down`. Upon receiving this
+request the leader cancels any pending reconciles and goes into a mode where it replies with 503 to all other APIs
+and does not issue any location configurations to its pageservers. The successful HTTP response will return a serialized
+snapshot of the observed state.
+
+If other step down requests come in after the initial one, the request is handled and the observed state is returned (required
+for failure scenario handling - see [Handling Failures](#handling-failures)).
+
+#### Graceful Restart Happy Path
+
+At start-up, the first thing the storage controller does is retrieve the sole row from the new
+`leader` table. If such an entry exists, send a `/step_down` PUT API call to the current leader.
+This should be retried a few times with a short backoff (see [1]). The aspiring leader loads the
+observed state into memory and the start-up sequence proceeds as usual, but *without* querying the
+pageservers in order to build up the observed state.
+
+Before doing any reconciliations or persistence change, update the `leader` database table as described in the [Database Table For Leader Synchronization](database-table-for-leader-synchronization)
+section. If this step fails, the storage controller process exits.
+
+Note that no row will exist in the `leaders` table for the first graceful restart. In that case, force update the `leader` table
+(without the WHERE clause) and perform with the pre-existing start-up procedure (i.e. build observed state by querying pageservers).
+
+Summary of proposed new start-up sequence:
+1. Call `/step_down`
+2. Perform any pending database migrations
+3. Load state from database
+4. Load observed state returned in step (1) into memory
+5. Do initial heartbeat round (may be moved after 5)
+7. Mark self as leader by updating the database
+8. Reschedule and reconcile everything
+
+Some things to note from the steps above:
+* The storage controller makes no changes to the cluster state before step (5) (i.e. no location config
+calls to the pageserver and no compute notifications)
+* Ask the current leader to step down before loading state from database so we don't get a lost update
+if the transactions overlap.
+* Before loading the observed state at step (3), cross-validate against the database. If validation fails,
+fall back to asking the pageservers about their current locations.
+* Database migrations should only run **after** the previous instance steps down (or the step down times out).
+
+
+[1] The API call might fail because there's no storage controller running (i.e. [restart](#storage-controller-crash-or-restart)),
+so we don't want to extend the unavailability period by much. We still want to retry since that's not the common case.
+
+### Handling Failures
+
+#### Storage Controller Crash Or Restart
+
+The storage controller may crash or be restarted outside of roll-outs. When a new pod is created, its call to
+`/step_down` will fail since the previous leader is no longer reachable. In this case perform the pre-existing
+start-up procedure and update the leader table (with the WHERE clause). If the update fails, the storage controller
+exists and consistency is maintained.
+
+#### Previous Leader Crashes Before New Leader Readiness
+
+When the previous leader (P1) crashes before the new leader (P2) passses the readiness check, Kubernetes will
+reconcile the old replica set and create a new pod for it (P1'). The `/step_down` API call will fail for P1'
+(see [2]).
+
+Now we have two cases to consider:
+* P2 updates the `leader` table first: The database update from P1' will fail and P1' will exit, or be terminated
+by Kubernetes depending on timings.
+* P1' updates the `leader` table first: The `hostname` field of the `leader` row stays the same, but the `start_timestamp` field changes.
+The database update from P2 will fail (since `start_timestamp` does not match). P2 will exit and Kubernetes will
+create a new replacement pod for it (P2'). Now the entire dance starts again, but with P1' as the leader and P2' as the incumbent.
+
+[2] P1 and P1' may (more likely than not) be the same pod and have the same hostname. The implementation
+should avoid this self reference and fail the API call at the client if the persisted hostname matches
+the current one.
+
+#### Previous Leader Crashes After New Leader Readiness
+
+The deployment's replica sets already satisfy the deployment's replica count requirements and the
+Kubernetes deployment rollout will just clean up the dead pod.
+
+#### New Leader Crashes Before Pasing Readiness Check
+
+The deployment controller scales up the new replica sets by creating a new pod. The entire procedure is repeated
+with the new pod.
+
+#### Network Partition Between New Pod and Previous Leader
+
+This feels very unlikely, but should be considered in any case. P2 (the new aspiring leader) fails the `/step_down`
+API call into P1 (the current leader). P2 proceeds with the pre-existing startup procedure and updates the `leader` table.
+Kubernetes will terminate P1, but there may be a brief period where both storage controller can drive reconciles.
+
+### Dealing With Split Brain Scenarios
+
+As we've seen in the previous section, we can end up with two storage controller running at the same time. The split brain
+duration is not bounded since the Kubernetes controller might become partitioned from the pods (unlikely though). While these
+scenarios are not fatal, they can cause tenant unavailability, so we'd like to reduce the chances of this happening.
+The rest of this section sketches some safety measure. It's likely overkill to implement all of them however.
+
+### Ensure Leadership Before Producing Side Effects
+
+The storage controller has two types of side effects: location config requests into pageservers and compute notifications into the control plane.
+Before issuing either, the storage controller could check that it is indeed still the leader by querying the database. Side effects might still be
+applied if they race with the database updatem, but the situation will eventually be detected. The storage controller process should terminate in these cases.
+
+### Leadership Lease
+
+Up until now, the leadership defined by this RFC is static. In order to bound the length of the split brain scenario, we could require the leadership
+to be renewed periodically. Two new columns would be added to the leaders table:
+1. `last_renewed` - timestamp indicating when the lease was last renewed
+2. `lease_duration` - duration indicating the amount of time after which the lease expires
+
+The leader periodically attempts to renew the lease by checking that it is in fact still the legitimate leader and updating `last_renewed` in the
+same transaction. If the update fails, the process exits. New storage controller instances wishing to become leaders must wait for the current lease
+to expire before acquiring leadership if they have not succesfully received a response to the `/step_down` request.
+
+### Notify Pageserver Of Storage Controller Term
+
+Each time that leadership changes, we can bump a `term` integer column in the `leader` table. This term uniquely identifies a leader.
+Location config requests and re-attach responses can include this term. On the pageserver side, keep the latest term in memory and refuse
+anything which contains a stale term (i.e. smaller than the current one).
+
+### Observability
+
+* The storage controller should expose a metric which describes it's state (`Active | WarmingUp | SteppedDown`).
+Per region alerts should be added on this metric which triggers when:
+  + no storage controller has been in the `Active` state for an extended period of time
+  + more than one storage controllers are in the `Active` state
+
+* An alert that periodically verifies that the `leader` table is in sync with the metric above would be very useful.
+We'd have to expose the storage controller read only database to Grafana (perhaps it is already done).
+
+## Alternatives
+
+### Kubernetes Leases
+
+Kubernetes has a [lease primitive](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/architecture/leases/) which can be used to implement leader election.
+Only one instance may hold a lease at any given time. This lease needs to be periodically renewed and has an expiration period.
+
+In our case, it would work something like this:
+* `/step_down` deletes the lease or stops it from renewing
+* lease acquisition becomes part of the start-up procedure
+
+The kubert crate implements a [lightweight lease API](https://docs.rs/kubert/latest/kubert/lease/struct.LeaseManager.html), but it's still
+not exactly trivial to implement.
+
+This approach has the benefit of baked in observability (`kubectl describe lease`), but:
+* We offload the responsibility to Kubernetes which makes it harder to debug when things go wrong.
+* More code surface than the simple "row in database" approach. Also, most of this code would be in
+a dependency not subject to code review, etc.
+* Hard to test. Our testing infra does not run the storage controller in Kubernetes and changing it do
+so is not simple and complictes and the test set-up.
+
+To my mind, the "row in database" approach is straightforward enough that we don't have to offload this
+to something external.

+//! This module implements the Generic Cell Rate Algorithm for a simplified
+//! version of the Leaky Bucket rate limiting system.
+//!
+//! # Leaky Bucket
+//!
+//! If the bucket is full, no new requests are allowed and are throttled/errored.
+//! If the bucket is partially full/empty, new requests are added to the bucket in
+//! terms of "tokens".
+//!
+//! Over time, tokens are removed from the bucket, naturally allowing new requests at a steady rate.
+//!
+//! The bucket size tunes the burst support. The drain rate tunes the steady-rate requests per second.
+//!
+//! # [GCRA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_cell_rate_algorithm)
+//!
+//! GCRA is a continuous rate leaky-bucket impl that stores minimal state and requires
+//! no background jobs to drain tokens, as the design utilises timestamps to drain automatically over time.
+//!
+//! We store an "empty_at" timestamp as the only state. As time progresses, we will naturally approach
+//! the empty state. The full-bucket state is calculated from `empty_at - config.bucket_width`.
+//!
+//! Another explaination can be found here: <https://brandur.org/rate-limiting>

-//! # Writes
