Initial logical size calculation could still hinder our fast startup
efforts in #4397. See #4183. In deployment of 2023-06-06
about a 200 initial logical sizes were calculated on hosts which
took the longest to complete initial load (12s).
Implements the three step/tier initialization ordering described in
#4397:
1. load local tenants
2. do initial logical sizes per walreceivers for 10s
3. background tasks
Ordering is controlled by:
- waiting on `utils::completion::Barrier`s on background tasks
- having one attempt for each Timeline to do initial logical size
calculation
- `pageserver/src/bin/pageserver.rs` releasing background jobs after
timeout or completion of initial logical size calculation
The timeout is there just to safeguard in case a legitimate non-broken
timeline initial logical size calculation goes long. The timeout is
configurable, by default 10s, which I think would be fine for production
systems. In the test cases I've been looking at, it seems that these
steps are completed as fast as possible.
