## Problem
The Merge queue doesn't work because it expects certain jobs, which we
don't have in the `pre-merge-checks` workflow.
But it turns out we can just create jobs/checks with the same names in
any workflow that we run.
## Summary of changes
- Add `conclusion` jobs
- Create `neon-cloud-e2e` status check
- Add a bunch of `if`s to handle cases with no relevant changes found
and prepare the workflow to run rust checks in the future
- List the workflow in `report-workflow-stats` to collect stats about it
It is possible at the point we shutdown the timeline, there are
still layer files we did not upload.
## Summary of changes
* If the queue is not empty, avoid offloading.
* Shutdown the timeline gracefully using the flush mode to
ensure all local files are uploaded before deleting the timeline
directory.

We saw pageserver OOMs
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/19715 for tenants doing
large writes. Add log lines around in-memory layers to hopefully collect
some info during my on-call shift next week.
## Summary of changes
* Estimate in-memory size of an in-mem layer.
* Print frozen layer number if there are too many layers accumulated in
memory.

Right now, our environments create databases with the C locale, which is
really unfortunate for users who have data stored in other languages
that they want to analyze. For instance, show_trgm on Hebrew text
currently doesn't work in staging or production.
I don't envision this being the final solution. I think this is just a
way to set a known value so the pageserver doesn't use its parent
environment. The final solution to me is exposing initdb parameters to
users in the console. Then they could use a different locale or encoding
if they so chose.

## Problem
To prevent breaking main after Python 3.11 PR get merged
we need to enable merge queue and run `check-codestyle-python`
job on it
## Summary of changes
- Move `check-codestyle-python` to a reusable workflow
- Run this workflow on `merge_group` event
In INC-317
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1730815677932209, we saw
an interesting series of operations that would remove valid layer files
existing in the layer map.
* Timeline A starts compaction and generates an image layer Z but not
uploading it yet.
* Timeline B/C starts ancestor detaching (which should not affect
timeline A)
* The tenant gets restarted as part of the ancestor detaching process,
without increasing the generation number.
* Timeline A reloads, discovering the layer Z is a future layer, and
schedules a **deletion into the deletion queue**. This means that the
file will be deleted any time in the future.
* Timeline A starts compaction and generates layer Z again, adding it to
the layer map. Note that because we don't bump generation number during
ancestor detach, it has the same filename + generation number as the
original Z.
* Timeline A deletes layer Z from s3 + disk, and now we have a dangling
reference in the layer map, blocking all
compaction/logical_size_calculation process.
## Summary of changes
* We wait until all layers to be uploaded before shutting down the
tenants in `Flush` mode.
* Ancestor detach restarts now use this mode.
* Ancestor detach also waits for remote queue completion before starting
the detaching process.
* The patch ensures that we don't have any future image layer (or
something similar) after restart, but not fixing the underlying problem
around generation numbers.

## Problem
In test environments, the `syncfs` that the pageserver does on startup
can take a long time, as other tests running concurrently might have
many gigabytes of dirty pages.
## Summary of changes
- Add a `no_sync` option to the pageserver's config.
- Skip syncfs on startup if this is set
- A subsequent PR (https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9678) will
enable this by default in tests. We need to wait until after the next
release to avoid breaking compat tests, which would fail if we set
no_sync & use an old pageserver binary.
Q: Why is this a different mechanism than safekeeper, which as a
--no-sync CLI?
A: Because the way we manage pageservers in neon_local depends on the
pageserver.toml containing the full configuration, whereas safekeepers
have a config file which is neon-local-specific and can drive a CLI
flag.
Q: Why is the option no_sync rather than sync?
A: For boolean configs with a dangerous value, it's preferable to make
"false" the safe option, so that any downstream future config tooling
that might have a "booleans are false by default" behavior (e.g. golang
structs) is safe by default.
Q: Why only skip the syncfs, and not all fsyncs?
A: Skipping all fsyncs would require more code changes, and the most
acute problem isn't fsyncs themselves (these just slow down a running
test), it's the syncfs (which makes a pageserver startup slow as a
result of _other_ tests)

While setting up some tests, I noticed that we didn't support keycloak.
They make use of encryption JWKs as well as signature ones. Our current
jwks crate does not support parsing encryption keys which caused the
entire jwk set to fail to parse. Switching to lazy parsing fixes this.
Also while setting up tests, I couldn't use localhost jwks server as we
require HTTPS and we were using webpki so it was impossible to add a
custom CA. Enabling native roots addresses this possibility.
I saw some of our current e2e tests against our custom JWKS in s3 were
taking a while to fetch. I've added a timeout + retries to address this.

The metrics from LR publisher testing project: ~300KB aux key deltas per
256MB files. Therefore, I think we can do compaction more aggressively
as these deltas are small and compaction can reduce layer download
latency. We also have a read path perf fix
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9631 but I'd still combine the
read path fix with the reduce of the compaction threshold.
## Summary of changes
* reduce metadata compaction threshold
* use num of L1 delta layers as an indicator for metadata compaction
* dump more logs
Signed-off-by: Alex Chi Z <chi@neon.tech>
## Problem
When we create a new segment, we zero it out in order to avoid changing
the length and fsyncing metadata on every write. However, we zeroed it
out by writing 8 KB zero-pages, and Tokio file writes have non-trivial
overhead.
## Summary of changes
Zero out the segment using
[`File::set_len()`](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/tokio/fs/struct.File.html#method.set_len)
instead. This will typically (depending on the filesystem) just write a
sparse file and omit the 16 MB of data entirely. This improves WAL
append throughput for large messages by over 400% with fsync disabled,
and 100% with fsync enabled.
## Problem
We don't have any benchmarks for Safekeeper WAL ingestion.
## Summary of changes
Add some basic benchmarks for WAL ingestion, specifically for
`SafeKeeper::process_msg()` (single append) and `WalAcceptor` (pipelined
batch ingestion). Also add some baseline file write benchmarks.
Fix direct reading from WAL buffers.
Pointer wasn't advanced which resulted in sending corrupted WAL if part
of read used WAL buffers and part read from the file. Also move it to
neon_walreader so that e.g. replication could also make use of it.
ref https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/19567
## Problem
Benchmarks need more control over the WAL generated by `WalGenerator`.
In particular, they need to vary the size of logical messages.
## Summary of changes
* Make `WalGenerator` generic over `RecordGenerator`, which constructs
WAL records.
* Add `LogicalMessageGenerator` which emits logical messages, with a
configurable payload.
* Minor tweaks and code reorganization.
There are no changes to the core logic or emitted WAL.
We need to use the shard associated with the layer file, not the shard
associated with our current tenant shard ID.
Due to shard splits, the shard IDs can refer to older files.

Fixes#9518.
## Problem
After removing the assertion `layers_removed == 0` in #9506, we could
miss breakage if we solely rely on the successful execution of the
`SELECT` query to check if lease is properly protecting layers. Details
listed in #9518.
Also, in integration tests, we sometimes run into the race condition
where getpage request comes before the lease get renewed (item 2 of
#8817), even if compute_ctl sends a lease renewal as soon as it sees a
`/configure` API calls that updates the `pageserver_connstr`. In this
case, we would observe a getpage request error stating that we `tried to
request a page version that was garbage collected` (as we seen in
[Allure
Report](https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-8613/11550393107/index.html#suites/3ccffb1d100105b98aed3dc19b717917/d1a1ba47bc180493)).
## Summary of changes
- Use layer map dump to verify if the lease protects what it claimed:
Record all historical layers that has `start_lsn <= lease_lsn` before
and after running timeline gc. This is the same check as
ad79f42460/pageserver/src/tenant/timeline.rs (L5025-L5027)
The set recorded after GC should contain every layer in the set recorded
before GC.
- Wait until log contains another successful lease request before
running the `SELECT` query after GC. We argued in #8817 that the bad
request can only exist within a short period after migration/restart,
and our test shows that as long as a lease renewal is done before the
first getpage request sent after reconfiguration, we will not have bad
request.

In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9441, the tenant has a
lot of aux keys spread in multiple aux files. The perf tool shows that a
significant amount of time is spent on remove_overlapping_keys. For
sparse keyspaces, we don't need to report missing key errors anyways,
and it's very likely that we will need to read all layers intersecting
with the key range. Therefore, this patch adds a new fast path for
sparse keyspace reads that we do not track `unmapped_keyspace` in a
fine-grained way. We only modify it when we find an image layer.
In debug mode, it was ~5min to read the aux files for a dump of the
tenant, and now it's only 8s, that's a 60x speedup.
## Summary of changes
* Do not add sparse keys into `keys_done` so that remove_overlapping
does nothing.
* Allow `ValueReconstructSituation::Complete` to be updated again in
`ValuesReconstructState::update_key` for sparse keyspaces.

I think I meant to make these changes over 6 months ago. alas, better
late than never.
1. should_reject doesn't eagerly intern the endpoint string
2. Rate limiter uses a std Mutex instead of a tokio Mutex.
3. Recently I introduced a `-local-proxy` endpoint suffix. I forgot to
add this to normalize.
4. Random but a small cleanup making the ControlPlaneEvent deser
directly to the interned strings.
## Problem
Pinning a tenant by setting Pause scheduling policy doesn't work because
drain/fill code moves the tenant around during deploys.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9612
## Summary of changes
- In drain, only move a tenant if it is in Active or Essential mode
- In fill, only move a tenant if it is in Active mode.
The asymmetry is a bit annoying, but it faithfully respects the purposes
of the modes: Essential is meant to endeavor to keep the tenant
available, which means it needs to be drained but doesn't need to be
migrated during fills.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9524 split the decoding and
interpretation step from ingestion.
The output of the first phase is a `wal_decoder::models::InterpretedWalRecord`.
Before this patch set that struct contained a list of `Value` instances.
We wish to lift the decoding and interpretation step to the safekeeper,
but it would be nice if the safekeeper gave us a batch containing the raw data instead of actual values.
## Summary of changes
Main goal here is to make `InterpretedWalRecord` hold a raw buffer which
contains pre-serialized Values.
For this we do:
1. Add a `SerializedValueBatch` type. This is `inmemory_layer::SerializedBatch` with some
extra functionality for extension, observing values for shard 0 and tests.
2. Replace `inmemory_layer::SerializedBatch` with `SerializedValueBatch`
3. Make `DatadirModification` maintain a `SerializedValueBatch`.
### `DatadirModification` changes
`DatadirModification` now maintains a `SerializedValueBatch` and extends
it as new WAL records come in (to avoid flushing to disk on every
record).
In turn, this cascaded into a number of modifications to
`DatadirModification`:
1. Replace `pending_data_pages` and `pending_zero_data_pages` with `pending_data_batch`.
2. Removal of `pending_zero_data_pages` and its cousin `on_wal_record_end`
3. Rename `pending_bytes` to `pending_metadata_bytes` since this is what it tracks now.
4. Adapting of various utility methods like `len`, `approx_pending_bytes` and `has_dirty_data_pages`.
Removal of `pending_zero_data_pages` and the optimisation associated
with it ((1) and (2)) deserves more detail.
Previously all zero data pages went through `pending_zero_data_pages`.
We wrote zero data pages when filling gaps caused by relation extension
(case A) and when handling special wal records (case B). If it happened
that the same WAL record contained a non zero write for an entry in
`pending_zero_data_pages` we skipped the zero write.
Case A: We handle this differently now. When ingesting the
`SerialiezdValueBatch` associated with one PG WAL record, we identify the gaps and fill the
them in one go. Essentially, we move from a per key process (gaps were filled after each
new key), and replace it with a per record process. Hence, the optimisation is not
required anymore.
Case B: When the handling of a special record needs to zero out a key,
it just adds that to the current batch. I inspected the code, and I
don't think the optimisation kicked in here.
The overall idea of the PR is to rename a few types to make their
purpose more clear, reduce abstraction where not needed, and move types
to to more better suited modules.
The PROXY Protocol V2 offers a "command" concept. It can be of two
different values. "Local" and "Proxy". The spec suggests that "Local" be
used for health-checks. We can thus use this to silence logging for such
health checks such as those from NLB.
This additionally refactors the flow to be a bit more type-safe, self
documenting and using zerocopy deser.
## Problem
While experimenting with `MAX_SEND_SIZE` for benchmarking, I saw stack
overflows when increasing it to 1 MB. Turns out a few buffers of this
size are stack-allocated rather than heap-allocated. Even at the default
128 KB size, that's a bit large to allocate on the stack.
## Summary of changes
Heap-allocate buffers of size `MAX_SEND_SIZE`.
Unify client, EndpointConnPool and DbUserConnPool for remote and local
conn.
- Use new ClientDataEnum for additional client data.
- Add ClientInnerCommon client structure.
- Remove Client and EndpointConnPool code from local_conn_pool.rs
## Problem
First issues noticed when trying to run scrubber find-garbage on Azure:
- Azure staging contains projects with -1 set for max_project_size:
apparently the control plane treats this as a signed field.
- Scrubber code assumed that listing projects should filter to
aws-$REGION. This is no longer needed (per comment in the code) because
we know hit region-local APIs.
This PR doesn't make it work all the way (`init_remote` still assumes
S3), but these are necessary precursors.
## Summary of changes
- Change max-project_size from unsigned to signed
- Remove region filtering in favor of simply using the right region's
API (which we already do)
Since 5f83c9290b482dc90006c400dfc68e85a17af785/#1504 we've had
duplication in construction of models::TenantConfig, where both
constructs contained the same code. This PR removes one of the two
locations to avoid the duplication.
## Problem
Tenant operations may return `409 Conflict` if the tenant is shutting
down. This status code is not retried by the control plane, causing
user-facing errors during pageserver restarts. Operations should instead
return `503 Service Unavailable`, which may be retried for idempotent
operations.
## Summary of changes
Convert
`GetActiveTenantError::WillNotBecomeActive(TenantState::Stopping)` to
`ApiError::ShuttingDown` rather than `ApiError::Conflict`. This error is
returned by `Tenant::wait_to_become_active` in most (all?)
tenant/timeline-related HTTP routes.
* Also rename `AuthFailed` variant to `PasswordFailed`.
* Before this all JWT errors end up in `AuthError::AuthFailed()`,
expects a username and also causes cache invalidation.
Problem
-------
Tests that directly call the Pageserver Management API to set tenant
config are flaky if the Pageserver is managed by Storcon because Storcon
is the source of truth and may (theoretically) reconcile a tenant at any
time.
Solution
--------
Switch all users of
`set_tenant_config`/`patch_tenant_config_client_side`
to use the `env.storage_controller.pageserver_api()`
Future Work
-----------
Prevent regressions from creeping in.
And generally clean up up tenant configuration.
Maybe we can avoid the Pageserver having a default tenant config at all
and put the default into Storcon instead?

## Problem
We don't have any observability for Safekeeper WAL receiver queues.
## Summary of changes
Adds a few WAL receiver metrics:
* `safekeeper_wal_receivers`: gauge of currently connected WAL
receivers.
* `safekeeper_wal_receiver_queue_depth`: histogram of queue depths per
receiver, sampled every 5 seconds.
* `safekeeper_wal_receiver_queue_depth_total`: gauge of total queued
messages across all receivers.
* `safekeeper_wal_receiver_queue_size_total`: gauge of total queued
message sizes across all receivers.
There are already metrics for ingested WAL volume: `written_wal_bytes`
counter per timeline, and `safekeeper_write_wal_bytes` per-request
histogram.
AWS/azure private link shares extra information in the "TLV" values of
the proxy protocol v2 header. This code doesn't action on it, but it
parses it as appropriate.
It seems the ecosystem is not so keen on moving to aws-lc-rs as it's
build setup is more complicated than ring (requiring cmake).
Eventually I expect the ecosystem should pivot to
https://github.com/ctz/graviola/tree/main/rustls-graviola as it
stabilises (it has a very simply build step and license), but for now
let's try not have a headache of juggling two crypto libs.
I also noticed that tonic will just fail with tls without a default
provider, so I added some defensive code for that.
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9589, timeline offload code
is modified to return an explicit error type rather than propagating
anyhow::Error. One of the 'Other' cases there is I/O errors from local
timeline deletion, which shouldn't need to exist, because our policy is
not to try and continue running if the local disk gives us errors.
## Summary of changes
- Make `delete_local_timeline_directory` and use `.fatal_err(` on I/O
errors

## Problem
We may sometimes use scheduling modes like `Pause` to pin a tenant in
its current location for operational reasons. It is undesirable for the
chaos task to make any changes to such projects.
## Summary of changes
- Add a check for scheduling mode
- Add a log line when we do choose to do a chaos action for a tenant:
this will help us understand which operations originate from the chaos
task.
## Problem
We don't have any observability into full WalAcceptor queues per
timeline.
## Summary of changes
Logs a message when a WalAcceptor send has blocked for 5 seconds, and
another message when the send completes. This implies that the log
frequency is at most once every 5 seconds per timeline, so we don't need
further throttling.
## Problem
The IAM role associated with our github action runner supports a max
token expiration which is lower than the value we tried.
## Summary of changes
Since we believe to have understood the performance regression we (by
ensuring availability zone affinity of compute and pageserver) the job
should again run in lower than 5 hours and we revert this change instead
of increasing the max session token expiration in the IAM role which
would reduce our security.
## Problem
`tenant_get_shards()` does not work with a sharded tenant on 1
pageserver, as it assumes an unsharded tenant in this case. This special
case appears to have been added to handle e.g. `test_emergency_mode`,
where the storage controller is stopped. This breaks e.g. the sharded
ingest benchmark in #9591 when run with a single shard.
## Summary of changes
Correctly look up shards even with a single pageserver, but add a
special case that assumes an unsharded tenant if the storage controller
is stopped and the caller provides an explicit pageserver, in order to
accomodate `test_emergency_mode`.
## Problem
We wish for the deployment orchestrator to use infra scoped tokens,
but storcon endpoints it's using require admin scoped tokens.
## Summary of Changes
Switch over all endpoints that are used by the deployment orchestrator
to use an infra scoped token. This causes no breakage during mixed
version scenarios because admin scoped tokens allow access to all
endpoints. The deployment orchestrator can cut over to the infra token
after this commit touches down in prod.
Once this commit is released we should also update the tests code to use
infra scoped tokens where appropriate. Currently it would fail on the
[compat tests](9761b6a64e/test_runner/regress/test_storage_controller.py (L69-L71)).
## Problem
The final part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9543 will
be a chaos test that creates/deletes/archives/offloads timelines while
restarting pageservers and migrating tenants. Developing that test
showed up a few places where we log errors during normal shutdown.
## Summary of changes
- UninitializedTimeline's drop should log at info severity: this is a
normal code path when some part of timeline creation encounters a
cancellation `?` path.
- When offloading and finding a `RemoteTimelineClient` in a
non-initialized state, this is not an error and should not be logged as
such.
- The `offload_timeline` function returned an anyhow error, so callers
couldn't gracefully pick out cancellation errors from real errors:
update this to have a structured error type and use it throughout.
## Problem
clickbench regression causes clickbench to run >9 hours and the AWS
session token is expired before the run completes
## Summary of changes

## Problem
Decoding and ingestion are still coupled in `pageserver::WalIngest`.
## Summary of changes
A new type is added to `wal_decoder::models`, InterpretedWalRecord. This
type contains everything that the pageserver requires in order to ingest
a WAL record. The highlights are the `metadata_record` which is an
optional special record type to be handled and `blocks` which stores
key, value pairs to be persisted to storage.
This type is produced by
`wal_decoder::models::InterpretedWalRecord::from_bytes` from a raw PG

If we delete a timeline that has childen, those children will have their
data corrupted. Therefore, extend the already existing safety check to
offloaded timelines as well.
Part of #8088
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9032, I would like to
eventually add a `generation` field to the consumption metrics cache.
The current encoding is not backward compatible and it is hard to add
another field into the cache. Therefore, this patch refactors the format
to store "field -> value", and it's easier to maintain backward/forward
compatibility with this new format.
## Summary of changes
* Add `NewRawMetric` as the new format.
* Add upgrade path. When opening the disk cache, the codepath first
inspects the `version` field, and decide how to decode.
* Refactor metrics generation code and tests.
* Add tests on upgrade / compatibility with the old format.

Constructing a remote client is no big deal. Yes, it means an extra
download from S3 but it's not that expensive. This simplifies code paths
and scenarios to test. This unifies timelines that have been recently
offloaded with timelines that have been offloaded in an earlier
invocation of the process.
Part of #8088
Disallow a request for timeline ancestor detach if either the to be
detached timeline, or any of the to be reparented timelines are
offloaded or archived.
In theory we could support timelines that are archived but not
offloaded, but archived timelines are at the risk of being offloaded, so
we treat them like offloaded timelines. As for offloaded timelines, any
code to "support" them would amount to unoffloading them, at which point
we can just demand to have the timelines be unarchived.

## Problem
Uploads of the tenant manifest could race between different tasks,
resulting in unexpected results in remote storage.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9556
## Summary of changes
- Create a central function for uploads that takes a tokio::sync::Mutex
- Store the latest upload in that Mutex, so that when there is lots of
concurrency (e.g. archive 20 timelines at once) we can coalesce their
manifest writes somewhat.
## Problem
Indices used to be the only kind of object where we had to search across
generations to find the most recent one. As of
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9543, manifests will need
the same treatment.
## Summary of changes
- Refactor download_index_part to a generic download_generation_object
function, which will be usable for downloading manifest objects as well.

1. We cannot just use local_proxy binary, as that requires the

test suite
2. We cannot use just any old http mock for local_proxy, as auth_broker
requires http2 to local_proxy
as such, I used the h2 library to implement an echo server - copied from
the examples in the h2 docs.
In the base64 payload of an aws cognito jwt, I saw the following:

technically correct... sigh...

## Problem
We wish to have high level WAL decoding logic in `wal_decoder::decoder`
module.
## Summary of Changes
For this we need the `Value` and `NeonWalRecord` types accessible there, so:
1. Move `Value` and `NeonWalRecord` to `pageserver::value` and
`pageserver::record` respectively.
2. Get rid of `pageserver::repository` (follow up from (1))
3. Move PG specific WAL record types to `postgres_ffi::walrecord`. In
theory they could live in `wal_decoder`, but it would create a circular
dependency between `wal_decoder` and `postgres_ffi`. Long term it makes
sense for those types to be PG version specific, so that will work out nicely.
4. Move higher level WAL record types (to be ingested by pageserver)
into `wal_decoder::models`

As a DBaaS provider, Neon needs to provide a stable platform for
customers to build applications upon. At the same time however, we also
need to enable customers to use the latest and greatest technology, so
they can prototype their work, and we can solicit feedback. If all
extensions are treated the same in terms of stability, it is hard to
meet that goal.
There are now two new GUCs created by the Neon extension:
neon.allow_unstable_extensions: This is a session GUC which allows
a session to install and load unstable extensions.
neon.unstable_extensions: This is a comma-separated list of extension
names. We can check if a CREATE EXTENSION statement is attempting to
install an unstable extension, and if so, deny the request if
neon.allow_unstable_extensions is not set to true.

tenant to the controller in detached state. It worked, but we didn't

Detached mode, and checks that deleting it without attaching it works as
expected.
## Problem
If something goes wrong with a live migration, we currently only have
awkward ways to interrupt that:
- Restart the storage controller
- Ask it to do some other modification/migration on the shard, which we

## Problem
When we use pull_timeline API on an evicted timeline, it gets downloaded
to serve the snapshot API request. That means that to evacuate all the
timelines from a node, the node needs enough disk space to download
partial segments from all timelines, which may not be physically the
case.
Closes: #8833
## Summary of changes
- Add a "try" variant of acquiring a residence guard, that returns None
if the timeline is offloaded
- During snapshot API handler, take a different code path if the
timeline isn't resident, where we just read the checkpoint and don't try
to read any segments.

This PR does two things:
1. Obtain a `TimelineCreateGuard` object in `unoffload_timeline`. This
prevents two unoffload tasks from racing with each other. While they
already obtain locks for `timelines` and `offloaded_timelines`, they
aren't sufficient, as we have already constructed an entire timeline at
that point. We shouldn't ever have two `Timeline` objects in the same
process at the same time.
2. don't allow timeline creations for timelines that have been
offloaded. Obviously they already exist, so we should not allow
creation. the previous logic only looked at the timelines list.
Part of #8088
## Problem
The storage components take an entire `SafekeeperConf` during
construction, but only actually use the `no_sync` field. This makes it
hard to understand the storage inputs (which fields do they actually
care about?), and is also inconvenient for tests and benchmarks that
need to set up a lot of unnecessary boilerplate.
## Summary of changes
* Don't take the entire config, but pass in the `no_sync` field
explicitly.
* Take the timeline dir instead of `ttid` as an input, since it's the
only thing it cares about.
* Fix a couple of tests to not leak tempdirs.
* Various minor tweaks.
## Problem
The Postgres version in `TimelinePersistentState::empty()` is incorrect:
the major version should be multiplied by 10000.
## Summary of changes
Multiply the version by 10000.
## Problem
We have some known N^2 behaviors when it comes to large relation counts,
due to the monolithic encoding and full rewrites of of RelDirectory each
time a relation is added. Ordinarily our backpressure mechanisms give
"slow but steady" performance when creating/dropping/truncating
relations. However, in the case of a transaction abort, it is possible
for a single WAL record to drop an unbounded number of relations. The
results in an unavailable compute, as when it sends one of these
records, it can stall the pageserver's ingest for many minutes, even
though the compute only sent a small amount of WAL.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9505
## Summary of changes
- Rewrite relation-dropping code to do one read/modify/write cycle of
RelDirectory, instead of doing it separately for each relation in a
loop.
- Add a test for the bug scenario encountered:
`test_tx_abort_with_many_relations`
The test has ~40s runtime on my workstation. About 1 second of that is
the part where we wait for ingest to catch up after a rollback, the rest
is the slowness of creating and truncating a large number of relations.

# Context
In the PGDATA import code
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9218) I add a third way to
create timelines, namely, by importing from a copy of a vanilla PGDATA
directory in object storage.
For idempotency, I'm using the PGDATA object storage location
specification, which is stored in the IndexPart for the entire lifespan
of the timeline. When loading the timeline from remote storage, that
value gets stored inside `struct Timeline` and timeline creation
compares the creation argument with that value to determine idempotency
of the request.
# Changes
This PR refactors the existing idempotency handling of Timeline
bootstrap and branching such that we simply compare the
`CreateTimelineIdempotency` struct, using the derive-generated
`PartialEq` implementation.
Also, by spelling idempotency out in the type names, I find it adds a
lot of clarity.
The pathway to idempotency via requester-provided idempotency key also
becomes very straight-forward, if we ever want to do this in the future.

well.
But it turns out that localfs is not even covered by the common object
storage tests and upon closer inspection, it seems that this area needs
more attention.

reconfigure pageservers.

This means that these layers are not guarded by the leases: they are in

Before, we didn't copy over the `index-part.json` of offloaded timelines
to the new shard's location, resulting in the new shard not knowing the
timeline even exists.
In #9444, we copy over the manifest, but we also need to do this for
`index-part.json`.
As the operations to do are mostly the same between offloaded and
non-offloaded timelines, we can iterate over all of them in the same
loop, after the introduction of a `TimelineOrOffloadedArcRef` type to
generalize over the two cases. This is analogous to the deletion code
added in #8907.
The added test also ensures that the sharded archival config endpoint
works, something that has not yet been ensured by tests.
Part of #8088
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9492 added a metric to track
the total count of block gaps filled on rel extend. More context is
needed to understand when this happens. The current theory is that it
may only happen on pg 14 and pg 15 since they do not WAL log relation extends.
## Summary of Changes
A rate limited log is added.
# Problem
Timeline creation can either be bootstrap or branch.
The distinction is made based on whether the `ancestor_*` fields are
present or not.
In the PGDATA import code
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9218), I add a third variant
to timeline creation.
# Solution
The above pushed me to refactor the code in Pageserver to distinguish
the different creation requests through enum variants.
There is no externally observable effect from this change.
On the implementation level, a notable change is that the acquisition of
the `TimelineCreationGuard` happens later than before. This is necessary
so that we have everything in place to construct the
`CreateTimelineIdempotency`. Notably, this moves the acquisition of the
creation guard _after_ the acquisition of the `gc_cs` lock in the case
of branching. This might appear as if we're at risk of holding `gc_cs`
longer than before this PR, but, even before this PR, we were holding
`gc_cs` until after the `wait_completion()` that makes the timeline
creation durable in S3 returns. I don't see any deadlock risk with
reversing the lock acquisition order.
As a drive-by change, I found that the `create_timeline()` function in
`neon_local` is unused, so I removed it.

Persist timeline offloaded state to S3.
Right now, as of #8907, at each restart of the pageserver, all offloaded
state is lost, so we load the full timeline again. As it starts with an
empty local directory, we might potentially download some files again,
leading to downloads that are ultimately wasteful.
This patch adds support for persisting the offloaded state, allowing us
to never load offloaded timelines in the first place. The persistence
feature is facilitated via a new file in S3 that is tenant-global, which
contains a list of all offloaded timelines. It is updated each time we
offload or unoffload a timeline, and otherwise never touched.
This choice means that tenants where no offloading is happening will not
immediately get a manifest, keeping the change very minimal at the
start.
We leave generation support for future work. It is important to support
generations, as in the worst case, the manifest might be overwritten by
an older generation after a timeline has been unoffloaded (and
unarchived), so the next pageserver process instantiation might wrongly
believe that some timeline is still offloaded even though it should be
active.

## Problem
Previously, figuring out how many tenant shards were managed by a

## Summary of changes
- Add metrics `storage_controller_pageserver_nodes` (updated on node
CRUD operations from Service) and `storage_controller_tenant_shards`
(updated RAII-style from TenantShard)
At least as far as removing individual files goes, this is the best
pattern for removing. I can't say the same for removing directories, but
I went ahead and changed those to `$(RM) -r` anyway.

Always do timeline init through atomic rename of temp directory. Add
GlobalTimelines::load_temp_timeline which does this, and use it from
both pull_timeline and basic timeline creation. Fixes a collection
of issues:
- previously timeline creation didn't really flushed cfile to disk
due to 'nothing to do if state didn't change' check;
- even if it did, without tmp dir it is possible to lose the cfile
but leave timeline dir in place, making it look corrupted;
- tenant directory creation fsync was missing in timeline creation;
- pull_timeline is now protected from concurrent both itself and
timeline creation;
- now global timelines map entry got special CreationInProgress
entry type which prevents from anyone getting access to timeline
while it is being created (previously one could get access to it,
but it was locked during creation, which is valid but confusing if
creation failed).
fixes#8927
Add a way to list the offloaded timelines.
Before, one had to look at logs to figure out if a timeline has been
offloaded or not, or use the non-presence of a certain timeline in the
list of normal timelines. Now, one can list them directly.

Part of #8130
## Problem
Pageserver previously goes through the kernel page cache for all the
IOs. The kernel page cache makes light-loaded pageserver have deceptive
fast performance. Using direct IO would offer predictable latencies of
our virtual file IO operations.
In particular for reads, the data pages also have an extremely low
temporal locality because the most frequently accessed pages are cached
on the compute side.
## Summary of changes
This PR enables pageserver to use direct IO for delta layer and image
layer reads. We can ship them separately because these layers are
write-once, read-many, so we will not be mixing buffered IO with direct
IO.
- implement `IoBufferMut`, an buffer type with aligned allocation
(currently set to 512).
- use `IoBufferMut` at all places we are doing reads on image + delta
layers.
- leverage Rust type system and use `IoBufAlignedMut` marker trait to
guarantee that the input buffers for the IO operations are aligned.
- page cache allocation is also made aligned.
_* in-memory layer reads and the write path will be shipped separately._
## Testing
Integration test suite run with O_DIRECT enabled:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9350
## Performance
We evaluated performance based on the `get-page-at-latest-lsn`
benchmark. The results demonstrate a decrease in the number of IOps, no
sigificant change in the latency mean, and an slight improvement on the
p99.9 and p99.99 latencies.
[Benchmark](https://www.notion.so/neondatabase/Benchmark-O_DIRECT-for-image-and-delta-layers-2024-10-01-112f189e00478092a195ea5a0137e706?pvs=4)
## Rollout
We will add `virtual_file_io_mode=direct` region by region to enable
direct IO on image + delta layers.

## Summary of changes
This pull request makes the image layer split writer atomic when
finishing the layers. All the produced layers either finish at the same
time, or discard at the same time. Note that this does not prevent
atomicity when crash, but anyways, it will be cleaned up on pageserver
restart.

In #9453, we want to remove the non-gzipped basebackup code in the
computes, and always request gzipped basebackups.
However, right now the pageserver's page service only accepts basebackup
requests in the following formats:
* `basebackup <tenant_id> <timeline_id>`, lsn is determined by the
pageserver as the most recent one (`timeline.get_last_record_rlsn()`)
* `basebackup <tenant_id> <timeline_id> <lsn>`
* `basebackup <tenant_id> <timeline_id> <lsn> --gzip`
We add a fourth case, `basebackup <tenant_id> <timeline_id> --gzip` to
allow gzipping the request for the latest lsn as well.
In neon_collector_autoscaling.jsonnet, the collector name is hardcoded
to neon_collector_autoscaling. This issue manifests itself such that
sql_exporter would not find the collector configuration.

## Problem
Pageserver returns 409 (Conflict) if any of the shards are already
deleting the timeline. This resulted in an error being propagated out of
the HTTP handler and to the client. It's an expected scenario so we
should handle it nicely.
This caused failures in `test_storage_controller_smoke`
[here](https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-9435/11390431900/index.html#suites/8fc5d1648d2225380766afde7c428d81/86eee4b002d6572d).
## Summary of Changes
Instead of returning an error on 409s, we now bubble the status code up
and let the HTTP handler code retry until it gets a 404 or times out.
Follow up on #9344. We want to install the extension automatically. We
didn't want to couple the extension into compute_ctl so instead
local_proxy is the one to issue requests specific to the extension.
depends on #9344 and #9395
## Problem
Consider the following sequence of events:
1. Shard location gets downgraded to secondary while there's a libpq
connection in pagestream mode from the compute
2. There's no active tenant, so we return `QueryError::Reconnect` from
`PageServerHandler::handle_get_page_at_lsn_request`.
3. Error bubbles up to `PostgresBackendIO::process_message`, bailing us
out of pagestream mode.
4. We instruct the client to reconnnect, but continue serving the libpq
connection. The client isn't yet aware of the request to reconnect and
believes it is still in pagestream mode. Pageserver fails to deserialize
get page requests wrapped in `CopyData` since it's not in pagestream
mode.
## Summary of Changes
When we wish to instruct the client to reconnect, also disconnect from
the server side after flushing the error.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/17336
Adds endpoint to install extensions:
**POST** `/extensions`
```
{"extension":"pg_sessions_jwt","database":"neondb","version":"1.0.0"}
```
Will be used by `local-proxy`.
Example, for the JWT authentication to work the database needs to have
the pg_session_jwt extension and also to enable JWT to work in RLS
policies.

## Problem
If we migrate A->B, then B->A, and the notification of A->B fails, then
we might have retained state that makes us think "A" is the last state
we sent to the compute hook, whereas when we migrate B->A we should
really be sending a fresh notification in case our earlier failed
notification has actually mutated the remote compute config.
Closes: #9417
## Summary of changes
- Add a reproducer for the bug
(`test_storage_controller_compute_hook_revert`)
- Refactor compute hook code to represent remote state with
`ComputeRemoteState` which stores a boolean for whether the compute has
fully applied the change as well as the request that the compute
accepted.
- The actual bug fix: after sending a compute notification, if we got a
423 response then update our ComputeRemoteState to reflect that we have
mutated the remote state. This way, when we later try and notify for our
historic location, we will properly see that as a change and send the
notification.

The forever ongoing effort of juggling multiple versions of rustls :3
now with new crypto library aws-lc.
Because of dependencies, it is currently impossible to not have both
ring and aws-lc in the dep tree, therefore our only options are not

According to benchmarks run by the rustls maintainer, aws-lc is faster
than ring in some cases too <https://jbp.io/graviola/>, so it's not

## Problem
The pageserver generally trusts the storage controller/control plane to
give it valid generations. However, sometimes it should be obvious that
a generation is bad, and for defense in depth we should detect that on
the pageserver.
This PR is part 1 of 2:
1. in this PR we detect and warn on such situations, but do not block
starting up the tenant. Once we have confidence that the check is not
firing unexpectedly in the field
2. part 2 of 2 will introduce a condition that refuses to start a tenant
in this situtation, and a test for that (maybe, if we can figure out how
to spoof an ancient mtime)

```
## Problem
In #9259, we found that the `check_safekeepers_synced` fast path could
result in a lower basebackup LSN than the `flush_lsn` reported by
Safekeepers in `VoteResponse`, causing the compute to panic once on
startup.
This would happen if the Safekeeper had unflushed WAL records due to a
compute disconnect. The `TIMELINE_STATUS` query would report a
`flush_lsn` below these unflushed records, while `VoteResponse` would
flush the WAL and report the advanced `flush_lsn`. See
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9259#issuecomment-2410849032.
## Summary of changes
Flush the WAL if the compute disconnects during WAL processing.
## Problem
Tenant deletion only removes the current shards from remote storage. Any
stale parent shards (before splits) will be left behind. These shards
are kept since child shards may reference data from the parent until new
image layers are generated.
## Summary of changes
* Document a special case for pageserver tenant deletion that deletes
all shards in remote storage when given an unsharded tenant ID, as well
as any unsharded tenant data.
* Pass an unsharded tenant ID to delete all remote storage under the
tenant ID prefix.
* Split out `RemoteStorage::delete_prefix()` to delete a bucket prefix,
with additional test coverage.
* Add a `delimiter` argument to `asset_prefix_empty()` to support
partial prefix matches (i.e. all shards starting with a given tenant
ID).

storage team.

Start unification of the client and connection pool interfaces:

- Unify clients among all the conn pools
## Problem
While running `find-garbage` and `purge-garbage`, I encountered two
things that needed updating:
- Console API may omit `user_id` since org accounts were added
- When we cut over to using GenericRemoteStorage, the object listings we
do during purge did not get proper retry handling, so could easily fail
on usual S3 errors, and make the whole process drop out.
...and one bug:
- We had a `.unwrap` which expects that after finding an object in a
tenant path, a listing in that path will always return objects. This is
not true, because a pageserver might be deleting the path at the same
time as we scan it.
## Summary of changes
- When listing objects during purge, use backoff::retry
- Make `user_id` an `Option`
- Handle the case where a tenant's objects go away during find-garbage.

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

This reverts #8076 - which was already reverted from the release branch

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.

## 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.

- Remove block that double-checks retain_lsns
avoid "leaking" the completions of BackgroundPurges by:
1. switching it to TaskTracker for provided close+wait

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

We do not want to run such benchmarks with StdFs: the results aren't

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.

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.

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.

## 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.

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

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

```
Build and Test

```
I don't understand the reason completely, probably `${{ github.workflow

We don't need to limit concurrency for `trigger-e2e-tests`
workflow.

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

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

This commit tries to fix regular load spikes on staging, caused by too
many eviction and partial upload operations running at the same time.
Usually it was hapenning after restart, for partial backup the load was
delayed.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

deletion, as suggested in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7932#issuecomment-2150480180 .
We don't have to worry about retries, as the function is wrapped inside
an outer retry block. If there is a retryable error either during the
listing or during deletion, we just do a fresh start.
Also adds `+ Send` bounds as they are required by the
`delete_tenant_remote` function.

In general, replace:
* 'lfc_approximate_working_set_size' with
* '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.

## Storage & Compute release 2024-07-22
This PR has so many commits because the release branch diverged from `main`.
Details https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033A2WE6BZ/p1721650938949059?thread_ts=1721308848.034069&cid=C033A2WE6BZ

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

Error 569 3100401 should always have a 'required'
Error 569 15000 Object includes not allowed fields

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

permission.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

- `horizon` is a confusing term, it's not at all obvious that this means
space-based retention limit, rather than the total GC history limit.
Rename to `GcCutoffs::space`.
- `pitr` is less confusing, but still an unecessary level of indirection
from what we really mean: a time-based condition. The fact that we use
that that time-history for Point In Time Recovery doesn't mean we have
to refer to time as "pitr" everywhere. Rename to `GcCutoffs::time`.
As described in #8385, the likely source for flakiness in
test_tenant_creation_fails is the following sequence of events:
1. test instructs the storage controller to create the tenant
2. storage controller adds the tenant and persists it to the database.
issues a creation request
3. the pageserver restarts with the failpoint disabled
4. storage controller's background reconciliation still wants to create
the tenant
5. pageserver gets new request to create the tenant from background
reconciliation
This commit just avoids the storage controller entirely. It has its own
set of issues, as the re-attach request will obviously not include the
tenant, but it's still useful to test for non-existence of the tenant.
The generation is also not optional any more during tenant attachment.
If you omit it, the pageserver yields an error. We change the signature
of `tenant_attach` to reflect that.
Alternative to #8385Fixes#8266
## Problem
This structure was in an Arc<> unnecessarily, making it harder to reason
about its lifetime (i.e. it was superficially possible for LayerManager
to outlive timeline, even though no code used it that way)
## Summary of changes
- Remove the Arc<>
Right now timeline detach ancestor reports an error (409, "no ancestor")
on a new attempt after successful completion. This makes it troublesome
for storage controller retries. Fix it to respond with `200 OK` as if
the operation had just completed quickly.
Additionally, the returned timeline identifiers in the 200 OK response
are now ordered so that responses between different nodes for error
comparison are done by the storage controller added in #8353.
Design-wise, this PR introduces a new strategy for accessing the latest
uploaded IndexPart:
`RemoteTimelineClient::initialized_upload_queue(&self) ->
Result<UploadQueueAccessor<'_>, NotInitialized>`. It should be a more
scalable way to query the latest uploaded `IndexPart` than to add a
query method for each question directly on `RemoteTimelineClient`.
GC blocking will need to be introduced to make the operation fully
idempotent. However, it is idempotent for the cases demonstrated by
tests.
Cc: #6994
## Problem
Pageserver GC uses a size-based condition (GC "horizon" in addition to
time-based "PITR").
Eventually we plan to retire the size-based condition:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6374
Currently, we always apply the more conservative of the two, meaning
that tenants always retain at least 64MB of history (default horizon),
even after a very long time has passed. This is particularly acute in
cases where someone has dropped tables/databases, and then leaves a
database idle: the horizon can prevent GCing very large quantities of
historical data (we already account for this in synthetic size by
ignoring gc horizon).
We're not entirely removing GC horizon right now because we don't want
to 100% rely on standby_horizon for robustness of physical replication,
but we can tweak our logic to avoid retaining that 64MB LSN length
indefinitely.
## Summary of changes
- Rework `Timeline::find_gc_cutoffs`, with new logic:
- If there is no PITR set, then use `DEFAULT_PITR_INTERVAL` (1 week) to
calculate a time threshold. Retain either the horizon or up to that
thresholds, whichever requires less data.
- When there is a PITR set, and we have unambiguously resolved the
timestamp to an LSN, then ignore the GC horizon entirely. For typical
PITRs (1 day, 1 week), this will still easily retain enough data to
avoid stressing read only replicas.
The key property we end up with, whether a PITR is set or not, is that
after enough time has passed, our GC cutoff on an idle timeline will
catch up with the last_record_lsn.
Using `DEFAULT_PITR_INTERVAL` is a bit of an arbitrary hack, but this
feels like it isn't really worth the noise of exposing in TenantConfig.
We could just make it a different named constant though. The end-end
state will be that there is no gc_horizon at all, and that tenants with
pitr_interval=0 would truly retain no history, so this constant would go
away.
Currently storage controller does not support forwarding timeline detach
ancestor requests to pageservers. Add support for forwarding `PUT
.../:tenant_id/timelines/:timeline_id/detach_ancestor`. Implement the
support mostly as is, because the timeline detach ancestor will be made
(mostly) idempotent in future PR.

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

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

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

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

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

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

anything on the fs after the container gets removed.

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

## Problem
LSN Leases introduced in #8084 is a new API that is made shard-aware
from day 1. To support ephemeral endpoint in #7994 without linking
Postgres C API against `compute_ctl`, part of the sharding needs to
reside in `utils`.

- Move more interface related part of tenant sharding API to utils and
re-export them in pageserver_api.

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

## Problem
Sparse keyspaces were constructed with ranges out of order: this didn't break things obviously, but meant that users of KeySpace functions that assume ordering would assert out.

## Summary of changes

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

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

`approximate_working_set_size` is preserved for backward compatibility.

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

deletions" messages to INFO

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

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

## Problem
test_location_conf_churn fails on log errors when it tries to shutdown a
pageserver immediately after starting a tenant attach, like this:

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

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

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

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

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

This makes it much more convenient to use in the common case that you
want to flush all the WAL. (Passing pg_current_wal_insert_lsn() as the
argument doesn't work for the same reasons as explained in the comments:
we need to be back off to the beginning of a page if the previous record
ended at page boundary.)

https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7288#discussion_r1660063852
## Problem
We use `build-tools` image as a base image to build other images, and it
has a pretty old `libpq-dev` installed (v13; it wasn't that old until I
removed system Postgres 14 from `build-tools` image in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6540)
## Summary of changes
- Remove `libpq-dev` from `build-tools` image
- Set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` for tests (for different Postgres binaries that
we use, like psql and pgbench)
- Set `PQ_LIB_DIR` to build Storage Controller
- Set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`/`DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` in the Storage Controller
where it calls Postgres binaries
## Problem

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lowering the tracing level in get_value_reconstruct_data and
get_or_maybe_download from info to debug reduces the overhead
of span creation in non-debug environments.
## Problem
#6112 added some logs and metrics: clean these up a bit:
- Avoid counting startup completions for tenants launched after startup
- exclude no-op cases from timing histograms
- remove a rogue log messages
Error indicating request cancellation OR timeline shutdown was deemed as
a reason to exit the background worker that calculated synthetic size.
Fix it to only be considered for avoiding logging such of such errors.
This conflicted on tenant_shard_id having already replaced tenant_id on

## Problem
Logical replication requires new AUX_FILES_KEY which is definitely

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

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

Upload Test Remote Extensions (#4792)
switched to using the release tag instead of `latest`, but,
the `promote-images` job only uploads `latest` to the prod ECR.
The switch to using release tag was good in principle, but,
reverting that part to make the release pipeine work.
Note that a proper fix should abandon use of `:latest` tag
at all: currently, if a `main` pipeline runs concurrently
with a `release` pipeline, the `release` pipeline may end
up using the `main` pipeline's images.
## Problem
If we fail to wake up the compute node, a subsequent connect attempt
will definitely fail. However, kubernetes won't fail the connection
immediately, instead it hangs until we timeout (10s).
## Summary of changes
Refactor the loop to allow fast retries of compute_wake and to skip a
connect attempt.
## Problem
#4598 compute nodes are not accessible some time after wake up due to
kubernetes DNS not being fully propagated.
## Summary of changes
Update connect retry mechanism to support handling IO errors and
sleeping for 100ms

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

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

Reverted PR: #3869
As noted in PR #4094, we do in fact try to insert duplicates to the
layer map, if L0->L1 compaction is interrupted. We do not have a proper
fix for that right now, and we are in a hurry to make a release to
production, so revert the changes related to this to the state that we
have in production currently. We know that we have a bug here, but
better to live with the bug that we've had in production for a long
time, than rush a fix to production without testing it in staging first.

previously we applied the ratelimiting only up to receiving the headers
from s3, or somewhere near it. the commit adds an adapter which carries
the permit until the AsyncRead has been disposed.
fixes#3662.
Calculation of logical size is now async because of layer downloads, so
we shouldn't use spawn_blocking for it. Use of `spawn_blocking`
exhausted resources which are needed by `tokio::io::copy` when copying
from a stream to a file which lead to deadlock.
Fixes: #3657
these are happening in tests because of #3655 but they sure took some
time to appear.
makes the `Compaction failed, retrying in 2s: Cannot run compaction
iteration on inactive tenant` into a globally allowed error, because it
has been seen failing on different test cases.
Small changes, but hopefully this will help with the panic detected in
staging, for which we cannot get the debugging information right now
(end-of-branch before branch-point).
Before only the timelines which have passed the `gc_horizon` were
processed which failed with orphans at the tree_sort phase. Example
input in added `test_branched_empty_timeline_size` test case.
The PR changes iteration to happen through all timelines, and in
addition to that, any learned branch points will be calculated as they
would had been in the original implementation if the ancestor branch had
been over the `gc_horizon`.
This also changes how tenants where all timelines are below `gc_horizon`
are handled. Previously tenant_size 0 was returned, but now they will
have approximately `initdb_lsn` worth of tenant_size.
The PR also adds several new tenant size tests that describe various corner
cases of branching structure and `gc_horizon` setting.
They are currently disabled to not consume time during CI.

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

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

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

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

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

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

* Fix exponential backoff values
* Update back `vendor/postgres` back; it was changed accidentally. (#2251)
Commit 4227cfc96e accidentally reverted vendor/postgres to an older
version. Update it back.
* Add pageserver checkpoint_timeout option.
To flush inmemory layer eventually when no new data arrives, which helps
safekeepers to suspend activity (stop pushing to the broker). Default 10m should
be ok.
* Share exponential backoff code and fix logic for delete task failure (#2252)
* Fix bug when import large (>1GB) relations (#2172)
Resolves#2097
- use timeline modification's `lsn` and timeline's `last_record_lsn` to determine the corresponding LSN to query data in `DatadirModification::get`
- update `test_import_from_pageserver`. Split the test into 2 variants: `small` and `multisegment`.
+ `small` is the old test
+ `multisegment` is to simulate #2097 by using a larger number of inserted rows to create multiple segment files of a relation. `multisegment` is configured to only run with a `release` build
* Fix timeline physical size flaky tests (#2244)
Resolves#2212.
- use `wait_for_last_flush_lsn` in `test_timeline_physical_size_*` tests
## Context
Need to wait for the pageserver to catch up with the compute's last flush LSN because during the timeline physical size API call, it's possible that there are running `LayerFlushThread` threads. These threads flush new layers into disk and hence update the physical size. This results in a mismatch between the physical size reported by the API and the actual physical size on disk.
### Note
The `LayerFlushThread` threads are processed **concurrently**, so it's possible that the above error still persists even with this patch. However, making the tests wait to finish processing all the WALs (not flushing) before calculating the physical size should help reduce the "flakiness" significantly
* postgres_ffi/waldecoder: validate more header fields
* postgres_ffi/waldecoder: remove unused startlsn
* postgres_ffi/waldecoder: introduce explicit `enum State`
Previously it was emulated with a combination of nullable fields.
This change should make the logic more readable.
* disable `test_import_from_pageserver_multisegment` (#2258)
This test failed consistently on `main` now. It's better to temporarily disable it to avoid blocking others' PRs while investigating the root cause for the test failure.
See: #2255, #2256
* get_binaries uses DOCKER_TAG taken from docker image build step (#2260)
* [proxy] Rework wire format of the password hack and some errors (#2236)
The new format has a few benefits: it's shorter, simpler and
human-readable as well. We don't use base64 anymore, since
url encoding got us covered.
We also show a better error in case we couldn't parse the
payload; the users should know it's all about passing the
correct project name.
* test_runner/pg_clients: collect docker logs (#2259)
* get_binaries script fix (#2263)
* get_binaries uses DOCKER_TAG taken from docker image build step
* remove docker tag discovery at all and fix get_binaries for version variable
* Better storage sync logs (#2268)
* Find end of WAL on safekeepers using WalStreamDecoder.
We could make it inside wal_storage.rs, but taking into account that
- wal_storage.rs reading is async
- we don't need s3 here
- error handling is different; error during decoding is normal
I decided to put it separately.
Test
cargo test test_find_end_of_wal_last_crossing_segment
prepared earlier by @yeputons passes now.
Fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/544https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/2004
Supersedes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/2066
* Improve walreceiver logic (#2253)
This patch makes walreceiver logic more complicated, but it should work better in most cases. Added `test_wal_lagging` to test scenarios where alive safekeepers can lag behind other alive safekeepers.
- There was a bug which looks like `etcd_info.timeline.commit_lsn > Some(self.local_timeline.get_last_record_lsn())` filtered all safekeepers in some strange cases. I removed this filter, it should probably help with #2237
- Now walreceiver_connection reports status, including commit_lsn. This allows keeping safekeeper connection even when etcd is down.
- Safekeeper connection now fails if pageserver doesn't receive safekeeper messages for some time. Usually safekeeper sends messages at least once per second.
- `LaggingWal` check now uses `commit_lsn` directly from safekeeper. This fixes the issue with often reconnects, when compute generates WAL really fast.
- `NoWalTimeout` is rewritten to trigger only when we know about the new WAL and the connected safekeeper doesn't stream any WAL. This allows setting a small `lagging_wal_timeout` because it will trigger only when we observe that the connected safekeeper has stuck.
* increase timeout in wait_for_upload to avoid spurious failures when testing with real s3
* Bump vendor/postgres to include XLP_FIRST_IS_CONTRECORD fix. (#2274)
* Set up a workflow to run pgbench against captest (#2077)
