Arseny Sher c1a040447d walproposer: send valid timeline_start_lsn in v2 (#10994)
## Problem

https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10647 dropped
timeline_start_lsn from protocol messages as it can be taken from term
history. In v2 0 was sent in the placeholder. However, until safekeepers
are deployed with that PR they still use the value, setting
timeline_start_lsn to 0, which confuses WAL reading; problem appears
only when compute includes 10647 but safekeepers don't.

neon extension consists of several parts:

shared preload library neon.so

  • implements storage manager API and network communications with remote page server.

  • walproposer: implements broadcast protocol between postgres and WAL safekeepers.

  • control plane connector: Captures updates to roles/databases using ProcessUtility_hook and sends them to the control ProcessUtility_hook.

  • remote extension server: Request compute_ctl to download extension files.

  • file_cache: Local file cache is used to temporary store relations pages in local file system for better performance.

  • relsize_cache: Relation size cache for better neon performance.

SQL functions in neon--*.sql

Utility functions to expose neon specific information to user and metrics collection. This extension is created in all databases in the cluster by default.
