neon/pageserver/src/deletion_queue/list_writer.rs

//! The list writer is the first stage in the deletion queue.  It accumulates
//! layers to delete, and periodically writes out these layers into a persistent
//! DeletionList.
//!
//! The purpose of writing DeletionLists is to decouple the decision to
//! delete an object from the validation required to execute it: even if
//! validation is not possible, e.g. due to a control plane outage, we can
//! still persist our intent to delete an object, in a way that would
//! survive a restart.
//!
//! DeletionLists are passed onwards to the Validator.
