In fact, it's partially there already. When view_builder::start() is called is first calls initialization code (the start_in_background() method), then kicks do_build_step() that runs a background fiber to perform build steps. The starting code inherits scheduling group from main(). And the step fiber code needs to run itself in a maintenance scheduling group, so it explicitly grabs one via database->db_config.
This PR mainly gets rid of the call to database::get_streaming_scheduling_group() from do_build_step() as preparation to splitting the streaming scheduling group into parts (see SCYLLADB-351). To make it happen the do_build_step() is patched to inherit its scheduling group from view_builder::start() and the start() itself is called by main from maintenance scheduling group (like for other view building services).

view_builder: Start background in maintenance group
view_builder: Wake-up step fiber with condition variable
In a lambda returned from make_streaming_consumer() there's a check for
current scheudling group being streaming one. It came from #17090 where
streaming code was launched in wrong sched group thus affecting user
groups in a bad way.
The check is nice and useful, but it abuses replica::database by getting
unrelated information from it.
To preserve the check and to stop using database as provider of configs,
keep the streaming scheduling group handle in the debug namespace. This
emphasises that this global variable is purely for debugging purposes.

Currently view_builder::start() is called in default scheduling group.
Once it initializes itself, it wakes up the step fiber that explicitly
switches to maintenance scheduling group.
This explicit switch made sence before previous patch, when the fiber
was implemented as a serialized action. Now the fiber starts directly
from .start() method and can inherit scheduling group from it.
Said that, main code calls view_builder::start() in maintenance
scheduling group killing two birds with one stone. First, the step fiber
no longer needs borrow its scheduling group indirectly via database.
Second, the start_in_background() code itself runs in a more suitable
scheduling group.

Currently, tablet_allocator switches to streaming scheduling group that
it gets from database. It's not nice to use database as provider of

Currently it grabs one from database, but it's not nice to use database

This PR passes the scheduling group to use for sending hints via manager
which, in turn, gets one from proxy via its config (proxy config already
carries configuration for hints manager). The group is initialized in

In this PR we add a basic implementation of the strongly-consistent tables:
* generate raft group id when a strongly-consistent table is created
* persist it into system.tables table
* start raft groups on replicas when a strongly-consistent tablet_map reaches them
* add strongly-consistent version of the storage_proxy, with the `query` and `mutate` methods
* the `mutate` method submits a command to the tablets raft group, the query method reads the data with `raft.read_barrier()`
* strongly-consistent versions of the `select_statement` and `modification_statement` are added
* a basic `test_strong_consistency.py/test_basic_write_read` is added which to check that we can write and read data in a strongly consistent fashion.
Limitations:
* for now the strongly consistent tables can have tablets only on shard zero. This is because we (ab/re) use the existing raft system tables which live only on shard0. In the next PRs we'll create separate tables for the new tablets raft groups.
* No Scylla-side proxying - the test has to figure out who is the leader and submit the command to the right node. This will be fixed separately.
* No tablet balancing -- migration/split/merges require separate complicated code.
The new behavior is hidden behind `STRONGLY_CONSISTENT_TABLES` feature, which is enabled when the `STRONGLY_CONSISTENT_TABLES` experimental feature flag is set.
Requirements, specs and general overview of the feature can be found [here](https://scylladb.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RND/pages/91422722/Strong+Consistency).

In PR 5b6570be52 we introduced the config option `sstable_compression_user_table_options` to allow adjusting the default compression settings for user tables. However, the new option was hooked into the CQL layer and applied only to CQL base tables, not to the whole spectrum of user tables: CQL auxiliary tables (materialized views, secondary indexes, CDC log tables), Alternator base tables, Alternator auxiliary tables (GSIs, LSIs, Streams).
This gap also led to inconsistent default compression algorithms after we changed the option’s default algorithm from LZ4 to LZ4WithDicts (adf9c426c2).
This series introduces a general “schema initializer” mechanism in `schema_builder` and uses it to apply the default compression settings uniformly across all user tables. This ensures that all base and aux tables take their default compression settings from config.
Fixes#26914.
Backport justification: LZ4WithDicts is the new default since 2025.4, but the config option exists since 2025.2. Based on severity, I suggest we backport only to 2025.4 to maintain consistency of the defaults.

Add the `coordinator` class, which will be responsible for coordinating
reads and writes to strongly consistent tables. This commit includes
only the boilerplate; the methods will be implemented in separate
commits.
Add a `raft_group_id` column to `system.tablets` and to the `tablet_map`
class. The column is populated only when the
`strongly_consistent_tables` feature is enabled.
This feature is currently disabled by default and is enabled only when
the user sets the `STRONGLY_CONSISTENT_TABLES` experimental flag.
The `raft_group_id` column is added to `system.tablets` only when this
flag is set. This allows the schema to evolve freely while the feature
is experimental, without requiring complex migrations.
This patch changes the layout of user-facing scheduling groups from
/
`- statement
`- sl:default
`- sl:*
`- other groups (compaction, streaming, etc.)
into
/
`- user (supergroup)
`- statement
`- sl:default
`- sl:*
`- other groups (compaction, streaming, etc.)
The new supergroup has 1000 static shares and is name-less, in a sense
that it only have a variable in the code to refer to and is not exported
via metrics (should be fixed in seastar if we want to).
The moved groups don't change their names or shares, only move inside
the scheduling hierarchy.
The goal of the change is to improve resource consumption of sl:*
groups. Right now activities in low-shares service levels are scheduled
on-par with e.g. streaming activity, which is considered to be low-prio
one. By moving all sl:* groups into their own supergroup with 1000
shares changes the meaning of sl:* shares. From now on these shares
values describe preirities of service level between each-other, and the
user activities compete with the rest of the system with 1000 shares,
regardless of how many service levels are there.
Unit tests keep their user groups under root supergroup (for simplicity)

Commit d54d409 (audit: write out to both table and syslog) unified
create_audit and start_audit, which moved the audit service creation later
in the startup sequence. This broke startup when audit is enabled because
view_builder prepares CQL queries before start_audit runs, and
query preparation calls audit_instance().local_is_initialized()
which crashes on the non-existent sharded service.
Move start_audit to run before view_builder::start() and other components
that may prepare CQL queries during their initialization.

In PR 5b6570be52 we introduced the config option
`sstable_compression_user_table_options` to allow adjusting the default

Fix this by moving the logic into the `schema_builder` via a schema
initializer. This ensures that the default compression settings are
applied uniformly regardless of how the table is created, while also
keeping the logic in a central place.
Register the initializer at startup in all executables where schemas are
being used (`scylla_main()`, `scylla_sstable_main()`, `cql_test_env`).
Finally, remove the ad-hoc logic from `create_table_statement`
(redundant as of this patch), remove the xfail markers from the relevant
tests and adjust `test_describe_cdc_log_table_create_statement` to
expect LZ4WithDicts as the default compressor.

The `sstable_compression_user_table_options` config option determines
the default compression settings for user tables.
In patch 2fc812a1b9, the default value of this option was changed from
LZ4 to LZ4WithDicts and a fallback logic was introduced during startup
to temporarily revert the option to LZ4 until the dictionary compression
feature is enabled.
Replace this fallback logic with an accessor that returns the correct
settings depending on the feature flag. This is cleaner and more
consistent with the way we handle the `sstable_format` option, where the
same problem appears (see `get_preferred_sstable_version()`).
As a consequence, the configuration option must always be accessed
through this accessor. Add a comment to point this out.

Allow creating materialized views and secondary indexes in a tablets keyspace only if it's RF-rack-valid, and enforce RF-rack-validity while the keyspace has views by restricting some operations:
* Altering a keyspace's RF if it would make the keyspace RF-rack-invalid
* Adding a node in a new rack
* Removing / Decommissioning the last node in a rack
Previously the config option `rf_rack_valid_keyspaces` was required for creating views. We now remove this restriction - it's not needed because we always maintain RF-rack-validity for keyspaces with views.
The restrictions are relevant only for keyspaces with numerical RF. Keyspace with rack-list-based RF are always RF-rack-valid.

The function validate_view_keyspace checks if a keyspace is eligible for
having materialized views, and it is used for validation when creating a
MV or a MV-based index.
Previously, it was required that the rf_rack_valid_keyspaces option is
set in order for tablets-based keyspaces to be considered eligible, and
the RF-rack condition was enforced when the option is set.
Instead of this, we change the validation to allow MVs in a keyspace if
the RF-rack condition is satisfied for the keyspace - regardless of the
config option.
We remove the config validation for views on startup that validates the
option `rf_rack_valid_keyspaces` is set if there are any views with
tablets, since this is not required anymore.
We can do this without worrying about upgrades because this change will
be effective from 2025.4 where MVs with tablets are first out of
experimental phase.
We update the test for MV and index restrictions in tablets keyspaces
according to the new requirements.
* Create MV/index: previously the test checked that it's allowed only if
the config option `rf_rack_valid_keyspaces` is set. This is changed
now so it's always allowed to create MV/index if the keyspace is
RF-rack-valid. Update the test to verify that we can create MV/index
when the keyspace is RF-rack-valid, even if the rf_rack option is not
set, and verify that it fails when the keyspace is RF-rack-invalid.
* Alter: Add a new test to verify that while a keyspace has views, it
can't be altered to become RF-rack-invalid.
simple refactoring: the enforce parameter is always given the value of
the `rf_rack_valid_keyspaces` option. remove the parameter and use the
option value directly from the db config.
this will be useful for a later change to the enforcement conditions.

Introduce the CLIENT_ROUTES_CHANGE event to let drivers refresh

(e.g., Private Link) require specific address/port mappings that can
change without topology changes and drivers need to adapt promptly
to avoid connectivity issues.
This new EVENT type carries a change indicator plus the affected
`connection_ids` and `host_ids`. The only change value is
`UPDATE_NODES`, meaning one or more client routes were inserted,
updated, or deleted.
Drivers subscribe using the existing events mechanism, so no additional
`cql_protocol_extension` key is required.

The batchlog table contains an entry for each logged batch that is processed by the local node as coordinator. These entries are typically very short lived, they are inserted when the batch is processed and deleted immediately after the batch is successfully applied.
When a table has `tombstone_gc = {'mode': 'repair'}` enabled, every repair has to flush all hints and batchlogs, so that we can be certain that there is no live data in any of these, older than the last repair. Since batches can contain member queries from any number of tables, the whole batchlog has to be flushed, even if repair-mode tombstone-gc is enabled for a single table.
Flushing the batchlog table happens by doing a batchlog replay. This involves reading the entire content of this table, and attempting to replay+delete any live entries (that are old enough to be replayed). Under normal operating circumstances, 99%+ of the content of the batchlog table is partition tombstones. Because of this, scanning the content of this table has to process thousands to millions of tombstones. This was observed to require up to 20 minutes to finish, causing repairs to slow down to a crawl, as the batchlog-flush has to be repeated at the end of the repair of each token-range.
When trying to address this problem, the first idea was that we should expedite the garbage-collection of these accumulated tombstones. This experiment failed, see https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/pull/23752. The commitlog proved to be an impossible to bypass barrier, preventing quick garbage-collection of tombstones. So long as a single commit-log segment is alive, holding content from the batchlog table, all tombstones written after are blocked from GC.
The second approach, represented by this PR, is to not rely in tombstone GC to reduce the tombstone amount. Instead restructure the table such that a single higher-order tombstone can be used to shadow and allow for the eviction of the myriads of individual batchlog entry tombstones. This is realized by reorganizing the batchlog table such that individual batches are rows, not partitions.
This new schema is introduced by the new `system.batchlog_v2` table, introduced by this PR:
CREATE TABLE system.batchlog_v2 (
version int,
stage int,
shard int,
written_at timestamp,
id uuid,
data blob,
PRIMARY KEY ((version, stage, shard), written_at, id));
The new schema organization has the following goals:
1) Make post-replay batchlog cleanup possible with a simple range-tombstone. This allows dropping the individual dead batchlog entries, as they are shadowed by a higher level tombstone. This enables dropping tombstones without tombstone GC.
2) To make the above possible, introduce the stage key component: batchlog entries that fail the first replay attempt, are moved to the failed_replay stage, so the initial stage can be cleaned up safely.
3) Spread out the data among Scylla shards, via the batchlog shard column.
4) Make batchlog entries ordered by the batchlog create time (id). This allows for selecting batchlogs to replay, without post-filtering of batchlogs that are too young to be replayed.
Fixes: https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/23358
This is an improvement, normally not a backport-candidate. We might override this and backport to allow wider use of `tombstone_gc: {'mode': 'repair'}`.

The alien thread was a solution for reactor stalls caused by indivisible
password‑hashing tasks (scylladb/scylladb#24524). However, because
there is only one alien thread, overall hashing throughput was reduced
(see, e.g., scylladb/scylla-enterprise#5711). To address this,
the alien‑thread solution is reverted, and a hashing implementation
with yielding will be introduced later in this patch series.

p11-kit has hardcoded paths for the trust paths. Of course, each
Linux distribution hardcodes those paths differently. As a result,
our relocatable gnutls, which uses p11-kit-trust.so to process the
trust paths, needs some overrides to select the right paths.
Currently, we use p11_kit_override_system_files(), a p11-kit API
intended for testing, but which worked well enough for our purpose,
to override the trust module configuration.
Unfortunately, starting (presumably [1]) in gnutls 3.8.11, gnutls
changed how it works with p11-kit and our override is now ignored.
This was likely unintentional, but there appears to be a better way:
instead of letting gnutls auto-load the trust module from a hacked
configuration, we load the modules outselves using
gnutls_pkcs11_init(GNUTLS_PKCS11_FLAG_MANUAL) and
gnutls_pkcs11_add_provider(). These appear to be intended for the purpose.
We communicate the paths to the scylla executable using an environment
variable. This isn't optimal, but is much easier than adding a command
line variable since there are multiple levels of command line parsing due
to the subtool mechanism.
With this, we unlock the possibility to upgrade gnutls to newer versions.

patch, it was possible to send an HTTP request before `group0` was
initialized, which resulted in a segmentation fault. Therefore,
this patch delays the setup of the storage_service REST API.

Although the value of this item is indeed derived from the write timeout
config, the name doesn't reflect what it is used for. Change it to
reflect it better.
Prepare for use in a subsequent commit in group0_state_machine,
where the auth cache will be integrated. This follows the same
pattern as updates to the service-level cache, view-building
state, and CDC streams.
Previously, the view building coordinator relied on setting each task's state to STARTED and then explicitly removing these state entries once tasks finished, before scheduling new ones. This approach induced a significant number of group0 commits, particularly in large clusters with many nodes and tablets, negatively impacting performance and scalability.
With the update, the coordinator and worker logic has been restructured to operate without maintaining per-task states. Instead, tasks are simply tracked with an aborted boolean flag, which is still essential for certain tablet operations. This change removes much of the coordination complexity, simplifies the view building code, and reduces operational overhead.
In addition, the coordinator now batches reports of finished tasks before making commits. Rather than committing task completions individually, it aggregates them and reports in groups, significantly minimizing the frequency of group0 commits. This new approach is expected to improve efficiency and scalability during materialized view construction, especially in large deployments.

This PR adds support for limiting the maximum shares allocated to a
compaction scheduling class by the compaction controller. It introduces
a new configuration parameter, compaction_max_shares, which, when set
to a non zero value, will cap the shares allocated to compaction jobs.
This PR also exposes the shares computed by the compaction controller
via metrics, for observability purposes.

Enhancement. No need to backport.
NOTE: Replaces PR https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/pull/26696
Ran a test in which the backlog raised the need for max shares (normalized backlog above normalization_factor), and played with different values for new option compaction_max_shares to see it works (500, 1000, 2000, 250, 50)

db/config: introduce new config parameter `compaction_max_shares`
compaction_manager:config: introduce max_shares
compaction_controller: add configurable maximum shares
compaction_controller: introduce `set_max_shares()`
To avoid case when an old coordinator (which hasn't been stopped yet)
dictates what should be done, add raft term to the `work_on_view_building_tasks`
RPC.
The worker needs to check if the term matches the current term from raft
server, and deny the request when the term is bad.
Add support for the new configuration parameter `compaction_max_shares`,
and update the compaction manager to pass it down to the compaction
controller when it changes. The shares allocated to compaction jobs will
be limited by this new parameter.

Introduce an updateable value `max_shares` to compaction manager's
config. Also add a method `update_max_shares()` that applies the latest
`max_shares` value to the compaction controller’s `max_shares`. This new
variable will be connected to a config parameter in the next patch.

This patch adds support for multiple audit log outputs.
If only one audit log output is enabled, the behavior does not change.
If multiple audit log outputs are enabled, then the `audit_composite_storage_helper` class is used. It has a collection
of `storage_helper` objects.
Performance testing shows that read query throughput and auth request throughput are consistent even at high reactor utilization. It can also be observed that read query latency increases a bit.
Read query ops = 60k/s
AUTH ops = 200/s
| Audit Mode | QUERY latency (p99) | Δ% vs none |
|------------|---------------------|------------|
| none | 777 | 0 |
|table| 801 | +3.09% |
|syslog | 803 | +3.35% |
|table,syslog | 818 | +5.28% |

Backport:
The decision is to not backport for now. After making sure it works on the latest release, and if there is a need, we can do it.
