this patch adds support for tenants. This touches mostly pageserver. Directory layout on disk is changed to contain new layer of indirection. Now path to particular repository has the following structure: <pageserver workdir>/tenants/<tenant id>. Tenant id has the same format as timeline id. Tenant id is included in pageserver commands when needed. Also new commands are available in pageserver: tenant_list, tenant_create. This is also reflected CLI. During init default tenant is created and it's id is saved in CLI config, so following commands can use it without extra options. Tenant id is also included in compute postgres configuration, so it can be passed via ServerInfo to safekeeper and in connection string to pageserver. For more info see docs/multitenancy.md.

Zenith
Zenith substitutes PostgreSQL storage layer and redistributes data across a cluster of nodes
Running local installation
- Install build dependencies and other useful packages
On Ubuntu or Debian this set of packages should be sufficient to build the code:
apt install build-essential libtool libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev flex bison libseccomp-dev \
libssl-dev clang
[Rust] 1.48 or later is also required.
To run the psql client, install the postgresql-client package or modify PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include tmp_install/bin and tmp_install/lib, respectively.
To run the integration tests (not required to use the code), install
Python (3.6 or higher), and install python3 packages with pip (called pip3 on some systems):
pip install pytest psycopg2
- Build zenith and patched postgres
git clone --recursive https://github.com/zenithdb/zenith.git
cd zenith
make -j5
- Start pageserver and postgres on top of it (should be called from repo root):
# Create repository in .zenith with proper paths to binaries and data
# Later that would be responsibility of a package install script
> ./target/debug/zenith init
pageserver init succeeded
# start pageserver
> ./target/debug/zenith start
Starting pageserver at '127.0.0.1:64000' in .zenith
Pageserver started
# start postgres on top on the pageserver
> ./target/debug/zenith pg start main
Starting postgres node at 'host=127.0.0.1 port=55432 user=stas'
waiting for server to start.... done
# check list of running postgres instances
> ./target/debug/zenith pg list
BRANCH ADDRESS LSN STATUS
main 127.0.0.1:55432 0/1609610 running
- Now it is possible to connect to postgres and run some queries:
> psql -p55432 -h 127.0.0.1 postgres
postgres=# CREATE TABLE t(key int primary key, value text);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into t values(1,1);
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# select * from t;
key | value
-----+-------
1 | 1
(1 row)
- And create branches and run postgres on them:
# create branch named migration_check
> ./target/debug/zenith branch migration_check main
Created branch 'migration_check' at 0/1609610
# check branches tree
> ./target/debug/zenith branch
main
┗━ @0/1609610: migration_check
# start postgres on that branch
> ./target/debug/zenith pg start migration_check
Starting postgres node at 'host=127.0.0.1 port=55433 user=stas'
waiting for server to start.... done
# this new postgres instance will have all the data from 'main' postgres,
# but all modifications would not affect data in original postgres
> psql -p55433 -h 127.0.0.1 postgres
postgres=# select * from t;
key | value
-----+-------
1 | 1
(1 row)
postgres=# insert into t values(2,2);
INSERT 0 1
Running tests
git clone --recursive https://github.com/libzenith/zenith.git
make # builds also postgres and installs it to ./tmp_install
cd test_runner

Source tree layout
/control_plane:
Local control plane. Functions to start, configure and stop pageserver and postgres instances running as a local processes. Intended to be used in integration tests and in CLI tools for local installations.
/zenith
Main entry point for the 'zenith' CLI utility. TODO: Doesn't it belong to control_plane?
/postgres_ffi:
Utility functions for interacting with PostgreSQL file formats. Misc constants, copied from PostgreSQL headers.
/zenith_utils:
Helpers that are shared between other crates in this repository.
/walkeeper:
WAL safekeeper (also known as WAL acceptor). Written in Rust.
/pageserver:
Page Server. Written in Rust.
Depends on the modified 'postgres' binary for WAL redo.
/vendor/postgres:
PostgreSQL source tree, with the modifications needed for Zenith.
/vendor/postgres/contrib/zenith:
PostgreSQL extension that implements storage manager API and network communications with remote page server.
/test_runner:
Integration tests, written in Python using the pytest framework.
