9daa109d2c test: get rid of consistent_cluster_management usage in test
consistent_cluster_management is deprecated since scylla-5.2 and no
longer used by Scylladb, so it should not be used by test either.

1e37781d86 schema: Add initializer for compression defaults
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).

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.

Fixes #26914.

34191d8fd4 alternator: fix signature checking of headers with multiple spaces
We have a test in test_compressed_response.py that reproduces a bug
where in Alternator's signature checking code, if a header had multiple
consecutive spaces its signature isn't checked correctly.

This patch fixes this and that xfailing test begins to pass.

But it turns out that the handling of multiple consecutive spaces in
headers when calculating the authentication signature is just one example
of "header canonization" that the AWS Signature V4 specification requires
us to do. There are additional types of header canonization that Alternator
must do, and this patch also adds new tests in test_authorization.py for
checking *all* the types of canonization.

Fortunately, for all other types of canonizations, we already handled
them correctly - Alternator already lowercases header names, sorts them
alphabetically and removes leading and trailing spaces before calculating
the signature. So most of the new tests added pass also without this patch,
and only one of them, test_canonization_middle_whitespace, needs this
patch to pass. As usual, all the new tests also pass on DynamoDB.

Fixes #27775

e7df03127b alternator: support "deflate" encoding in request compression
Currently Alternator supports compressed requests in the gzip format
with "Content-Encoding: gzip". We did not support any other compression
formats.

It turns out that DynamoDB also supports the "deflate" encoding.
The "deflate" format is just a small variant of gzip and also supported
by the same zlib library that we already use, so it is very easy
to add support for it as well. So this patch adds it.

Beyond compatibility with DynamoDB, another benefit of this patch is
symmetry with our response compression support (PR #27454), where
we supported both gzip and deflate compression of responses - so
we should support the same for requests.

This patch also adds tests for Content-Encoding: deflate, which pass
on DynamoDB (proving that "deflate" is indeed supported there).
On Alternator the new tests failed before this patch and pass with
this patch.

Refs #27243 (which asks to support more compression formats).

6bcc18e5c6 erge 'test.py: integrate python tests to be executed with pytest runner' from Andrei Chekun
This will move responsibility for running tests with pytest in the same manner as it was done with boost tests. From this commit, test.py is not responsible anymore for running python tests and relies completely on pytest.
This is another step for unification of test execution.
Convert skip_mode function to `pytest.mark` to be able to use to annotate the whole module instead of each test explicitly.

NOTE: this is a breaking change. From this commit, several directories with tests will require a path to the file to launch the test. Affected directories
test/alternator
test/broadcast_tables
test/cql
test/cqlpy
test/rest_api

Changes only in framework, so no backport.

This PR will increase the amount of the tests by 30 test, due to the fact that how test.py and pytest discover tests. test.py count a file as a test, and when skip used in suite.yaml it will exclude the tests from discovery completely.
While the pytest count test funstion as a test and uses skip_mode mark and will discover the tests, but it will skip them during execution, hence the difference

03e0dd0841 Merge 'test/alternator: fix most tests to run on DynamoDB' from Nadav Har'El
We can run Alternator's tests against DynamoDB with `test/alternator/run --aws`, and our intention is that all except a few specially marked should pass on DynamoDB - indicating that the test itself is correct and checks compatibility with DynamoDB and not with some misunderstood spec.

Before this patch series, almost two dozen Alternator's tests failed on DynamoDB. This series fixes most of them.

21a1ff3d5c test.py: remove not supported functionality
In the current state pytest do not support the order of execution, so this parameter is removed. There is no big need in this due to the differences what pytest and test.py counted test. pytest run test functions in the threads, while test.py executed test files in the threads. That's why pytest's way is more granular and allows to fill threads better.
Remove skip node, since it already added as a pytest mark for each test in the file.
Remove pool_size, since this is not used by pytest at all. Pytest uses
xdist to set the amount of threads instead of pool_size used by test.py

f7eae50d98 test/alternator: fix some expected error messages to fit DynamoDB
All tests I am fixing in this patch do pass for me on DynamoDB, but
other developers report that they fail because some DynamoDB servers
apparently use slightly different error messages, with less detail about
the cause of an error. For example, some of our tests currently expect
an error message that looks like:

    An error occurred (ValidationException) when calling the Query
    operation: Invalid operator used in KeyConditionExpression:
    attribute_exists

But some servers don't report the ": attribute_exists" at the end, so
we can't use the word "attribute_exists" it in the test to recognize
the correct error, and needs to use a different word (which both
versions of DynamoDB and Alternator all print).

As another example, the good old DynamoDB error:

    An error occurred (ValidationException) when calling the Query
    operation: 1 validation error detected: Value 'DOG' at
   'conditionalOperator' failed to satisfy constraint: Member must
   satisfy enum value set: [OR, AND]

Got replaced by the following less informative message:

    An error occurred (ValidationException) when calling the Query
    operation: Failed to satisfy constraint: Member must satisfy enum
    value set: [ALL, OR]'

So we need to fix the test to allow it too.

e97fbc2d65 test/alternator: fix compressed request test on non-us-east1
The test test_compressed_request.py::test_compressed_request coerces
boto3 to send a compressed request, and wrongly used region_name=us-east-1
to set up the connection. Theoretically, this doesn't matter because
we also set the correct URL (for either Alternator or the desired region
in AWS). But in fact it does matter, because region name is part of the
request's signature, and DynamoDB refuses the request if it comes to
a different region than it is signed for. So this test fails when run
on DynamoDB on any other region except us-east-1.

The fix is simple - don't use the constant "us-east-1", but pick up the
correct region name from the original connection.

The functions new_dynamodb_session(), new_dynamodb() and
new_dynamodb_stremas() had the same bug and we fix it too, but it didn't
break any test because the only tests using these functions were
Scylla-only so the AWS region problem didn't apply to them.

2c02e463ff test/alternator: fix test's expected error message on DynamoDB
The Alternator test test_tag.py::test_tag_lsi_gsi expects to see an
error - it's not allowed to set a tag on a GSI or LSI - but the error
message that DynamoDB prints recently changed - instead of saying
"ResourceArn" the new error message says "resource arn".

Change the test to allow both forms, so it will pass on both Alternator
(which still uses the word ResourceArn - which is the name of the
parameter) and on DynamoDB (which uses "resource arn").

4f3150c282 test/alternator: mark Alternator-only test scylla_only
The test test_batch.py::test_batch_write_item_large_broken_connection
failed on DynamoDB (Refs #26079). It turns out this test has many
problems:

1. This test wrongly assumes a batch write needs to complete in one
   attempt - and this fails on DynamoDB with low WCU capacity where
   the batch needs to be resumed in multiple requests. Using boto3's
   batch_writer() fixes this problem.
2. This test has NOTHING to do with batches - so is mis-named and
   mis-placed. The batch write is just a way to prepare some data
   in the table, and the real test is about Query'ing the data back
   and observing the long response and reproducing issue #14454.
   I did not rename or move the test, but left a comment explaining
   the situation.
3. This test is written to assume the Query's response uses HTTP
   chunked encoding. Which isn't actually true for DynamoDB, at least
   not at the time of this writing. So the test fails on DynamoDB.

For the last reason, I made this test scylla_only. This test can't
really be run on DynamoDB without rewriting it.

df6b347911 test/alternator: fix test on DynamoDB
The test test_batch.py::test_batch_write_item_large often fails when
running on DynamoDB, and this patch fixes it. The test checks that a
large but not over-the-limits large batch works. However, "works" only
means that the batch is not an error - it doesn't guarantee that all the
items in the batch are performed. If the WCU limits of the table are
exceeded DynamoDB may perform only part of the the batch and return the
remaining items as UnprocessedItems. This not only can happen, it
usually does happen on DynamoDB - because a new on-demand-billing table
always start with a very low WCU capacity.

So in this patch we update the test to recognize and perform the
UnprocessedItems, instead of assuming it needs to be empty.

The test continues to pass on Alternator, and finally passes on
DynamoDB.

9d6a463324 test/alternator: increase wait_for_gsi() timeout
In Alternator tests, the wait_for_gsi() utility function is used in
tests that add a GSI to an existing table, to wait for this new GSI
to become ready. Although this takes a fraction of a second on
Alternator, we noticed that this takes many minutes (!) on DynamoDB
so we used an absurdly high 10 minute timeout to allow tests to also
pass on DynamoDB.

But it turns out that 10 minutes wasn't absurdly high enough, and
tests using it in test_gsi_updatetable.py started to fail on DynamoDB.
Empirically, 10 minutes was enough in the past but it seems that today
adding a GSI to an empty table routinely takes as much as 20 minutes.

So this patch increases the wait_for_gsi() timeout to a whopping 30
minutes. After this patch, the tests in test_gsi_updatetable.py which
used to fail - test_gsi_backfill_with_lsi,
test_gsi_backfill_with_real_column, test_gsi_creates_and_deletes and
test_gsi_backfill_oversized_key now all pass on DynamoDB - but each
takes more than 20 minutes to pass.

To allow the test to fail much more quickly on Alternator (where
creating a GSI takes a fraction of a second), we set a much lower
but still very high timeout when running on Alternator - 60 seconds.

5c2ca56adf test/alternator: fix test passing a spurious parameter
The test test_streams.py::test_streams_putitem_new_item_overrides_old_lsi
failed on DynamoDB (Refs #26079) because we passed an unused parameter
NonKeyAttributes to the Projection setting an LSI. NonKeyAttributes is
only allowed when ProjectionType=INCLUDE, but we used ProjectionType=ALL.
DynamoDB refuses to create an LSI with such inconsistent parameters,
and we just need to remove this unnecessary parameter from this test.

The reason why this test didn't fail on Alternator is that Alternator
doesn't yet support or even parse the Projection parameter (Refs #5036).

We also add an xfailing test (passes on DynamoDB, fails on Alternator)
checking that a spurious NonKeyAttributes parameter is rejected. When
we get around to implement the projection feature (#5036), this will
be yet another acceptance test for this feature.

08386ea959 test/alternator: add tests for compressed responses
Adds set of tests that:
1. Show how DynamoDB handles response compression.
It supports 'gzip' and 'deflate' compression, which can be selected by providing 'Accept-Encoding` header. It only encodes response above 4096B.
- `test_compressed_response`, `test_compressed_response_large` show compression for various response sizes.
- `test_accept_encoding_header` focuses on testing various values of Accept-Encoding header.
- `test_multiple_accept_encoding_headers` verifies behaviour with repeted Accept-Encoding headers.

2. Will confirm implementation of response compression in Alternator (#27246)
Additonally to above test, we check Altenator specific expectations:
- `test_chunked_response_compression` makes sure that compression will work also for chunked responses.
- `test_set_compression_options` checks config options to set response size threshold for compression and compression level

3. `test_signature_trims_accept_encoding_spaces` reveals Alternator's bug in signature verification (#27775)

Different DynamoDB operations have different settings allowed for
their "ReturnValues" argument. In particular, some operations allow
ReturnValues=UPDATED_OLD but the DeleteItem operation *does not*.

We have a test, test_delete_item_returnvalues, aimed to verify this
but it had a typo and didn't actually check "UPDATED_OLD". This patch
fixes this typo.

The test still passes because the code itself (executor.cc,
delete_item_operation's constructor) has the correct check - it was
just the test that was wrong.

a3959fe3db test/alternator: remove unused variable assignments
copilot noticed in that in in many of Alternator tests, we have some
unnecessary assignments. For example, in a few places, we use the idiom:

     with pytest.raises(...):
         ret = ...

The "ret=" part is unnecessary, as this test expects the statement to
fail (hence the raises()), and ret is never assigned. The assignment
was only there because we copied this statement from another place in
the test, which does expect the statement to pass and wants to validate
the returned value.

So we should just drop the "ret=" from these tests.

Another common occurance is that we used the idiom

     response = table.do_something()

Without checking the response and no intention to check it (either we
know it will work, or we just want to check it doesn't throw). So we
can drop the "response=" here too.

All of the unused variables in this patch were discovered by Copilot,
but I reviewed each of them carefully myself and prepared this patch.

b3b0860e7c test/alternator: add reproducer for bug with storing invalid values
This patch adds a reproducer for a long-known bug, #8070, where
Alternator can store invalid values which are just blindly stored as
JSON, and we will only see the failure when reading the item back -
and either the client will fail to parse it, or sometimes even Alternator's
own code (e.g., FilterExpression) will fail to parse it. The right
behavior is to fail the write - not the read.

The included test checks writing different kinds of invalid values using
PutItem, UpdateItem, and BatchWriteItem. The new tests pass on DynamoDB,
but fail on Alternator so marked as "xfail".

For example, if a map {'dog': 1, 'cat': 2} is changed to
{'cat': 2, 'dog': 1}, this non-change should not be reported.

The new test added in this patch passes on DynamoDB (an event
is not generated) but fails on Alternator (an event is generated),
so the new test is marked with xfail.

3595941020 utils/rjson: fix error messages from rjson::parse()
rjson::parse() when parsing JSON stored in a chunked_content (a vector
of temporary buffers) failed to initialize its byte counter to 0,
resulting in garbage positions in error messages like:

  Parsing JSON failed: Missing a name for object member. at 1452254

These error messages were most noticable in Alternator, which parses
JSON requests using a chunked_content, and reports these errors back
to the user.

The fix is trivial: add the missing initialization of the counter.

The patch also adds a regression test for this bug - it sends a JSON
corrupt at position 1, and expect to see "at 1" and not some large
random number.

Fixes #27372

102516a787 test/alternator: extract get_signed_request() to util.py
get_signed_request() started in test_manual_requests.py as a way to sign
a manually-created DynamoDB-API request - for sending requests that boto3
can't.

Over time, we started to use this function in additional test files, and
it's about time to move it to util.py - which is more natural to import
from multiple files.

This patch also adds a new function, manual_request(), which combines
get_signed_request() and actually sending the request via
requests.post(). New tests should prefer it, because it's easier to use.
We'll use the new function in tests that we add in the next patches.

ce2a403f18 Merge 'alternator: implement gzip-compressed requests' from Nadav Har'El
In this series we implement Alternator's support for gzip-compressed
requests, i.e., requests with the "Content-Encoding: gzip" header,
other uncompressed header, and a gzip-compressed body.

The server needs to verify the signature of the *compressed* content,
and then uncompress the body before running the request.

We only support gzip compression because this is what DynamoDB supports.
But in the future we can easily add support for other compression
algorithms like lz4 or zstd.

This series Refs #5041 but doesn't "Fixes" it because it only implements
compressed requests (Content-Encoding), *not* compressed responses
(Accept-Encoding).

In addition to the code changes, the series also contains tests for this
feature that make sure it behaves like DynamoDB.

Note that while we will have now support in our server for compressed
requests, just like DynamoDB does, the clients (AWS SDKs) will probably
NOT make use of it because they do not enable request compression by
default. For example, see the tests for some hoops one needs to jump
through in boto3 (the Python SDK) to send compressed requests. However,
we are hoping that in the future Alternator's modified clients will
use compressed requests and enjoy this feature.

44c605e59c Merge 'Fix the types of change events in Alternator Streams' from Piotr Wieczorek
This patch increases the compatibility with DynamoDB Streams by integrating the DynamoDB's event type rules (described in https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/6918) into Alternator. The main changes are:
- introduce a new flag `alternator_streams_strict_compatibility`, meant as a guard of performance-intensive operations that increase the compatibility with DynamoDB Streams. If enabled, Alternator always performs a RBW before a data-modifying operation, and propagates its result to CDC. Then, the old item is compared to the new one, to determine the mutation type (INSERT vs MODIFY). This option is a no-op for tables with disabled Alternator Streams,
- reduce splitting of simple Alternator mutations,
- correctly distinguish event types described in #6918, except for item deletes. Deleting a missing item with DeleteItem, BatchWriteItem, or a missing field with UpdateItem still emit REMOVEs.

To summarize, the emitted events of the data manipulation operations should be as follows:
- DeleteItem/BatchWriteItem.DeleteItem of existing item: REMOVE (OK)
- DeleteItem of nonexistent item: nothing (OK)
- BatchWriteItem.DeleteItem of nonexistent item: nothing (OK)
- PutItem/UpdateItem/BatchWriteItem.PutItem of existing and not equal item: MODIFY (OK)
- PutItem/UpdateItem/BatchWriteItem.PutItem of existing and equal item: nothing (OK)
- PutItem/UpdateItem/BatchWriteItem.PutItem of nonexistent item: INSERT (OK)

No backport is necessary.

b54a9f4613 Fix use-after-free in encode_paging_state in Alternator
Fix unlikely use-after-free in `encode_paging_state`. The function
incorrectly assumes that current position to encode will always have
data for all clustering columns the schema defines. It's possible to
encounter current position having less than all columns specified, for
eample in case of range tombstone. Those don't happen in Alternator
tables as DynamoDB doesn't allow range deletions and clustering key
might be of size at most 1. Alternator api can be used to read
scylla system tables and those do have range tombstones with more
than single clustering column.

The fix is to stop trying to encode columns, that don't have the value -
they are not needed anyway, as there's no possible position with those
values (range tombstone made sure of that).

32afcdbaf0 test/alternator: enable, and add, tests for gzip'ed requests
After in the previous patch we implemented support in Alternator for
gzip-compressed requests ("Content-Encoding: gzip"), here we enable
an existing xfail-ing test for this feature, and also add more tests
for more cases:

  * A test for longer compressed requests, or a short compressed
    request which expands to a longer request. Since the decompression
    uses small buffers, this test reaches additional code paths.

  * Check for various cases of a malformed gzip'ed request, and also
    an attempt to use an unsupported Content-Encoding. DynamoDB
    returns error 500 for both cases, so we want to test that we
    do to - and not silently ignore such errors.

  * Check that two concatenated gzip'ed streams is a valid request,
    and check that garbage at the end of the gzip - or a missing
    character at the end of the gzip - is recognized as an error.

66bd3dc22c test/alternator: tests for request compression
DynamoDB's documentation
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-compression.html
suggests that DynamoDB allows request bodies to be compressed (currently
only by gzip).

The purpose of patch is to have a test reproducing this feature. The
test shows us that indeed DynamoDB understands compressed requests using
the "gzip" encoding, but Alternator does *not*, so the new test is xfail.

As you can see in the test code, although the low-level SDK (botocore)
can send compress requests, this is not actually enabled for DynamoDB
and we need to resort to some trickery to send compressed requests.
But the point is that once we do manage to send compressed requests,
the test shows us that they work properly on AWS, but fail on
Alternator.

The failure of the compressed requests on Alternator is reported like:

    An error occurred (ValidationException) when calling the PutItem
    operation: Parsing JSON failed: Invalid value. at 70459088

This error message should probably be improved (what is that high
number?!) but of course even better would be to make it really work.

By enabling tracing on alternator-server (e.g., edit test/cqlpy/run.py
and add `'--logger-log-level', 'alternator-server=trace',`) we can
see exactly what request the SDK sends Alternator. What we can see in
the request is:

1. The request headers are uncompressed (this is expected in HTTP)
2. There is a header "Content-Encoding: gzip"
3. The request's body is binary, a full-fleged gzip output complete with
   a gzip magic in the beginning.

a084094c18 Merge 'alternator and cql: tests for default sstable compression' from Nadav Har'El
The purpose of this two-patch series is to reproduce a previously unknown bug, Refs #26914.

Recently we saw a lot of patches that change how we create new schemas (keyspaces and tables), sometimes changing various long-time defaults. We started to worry that perhaps some of these defaults were applied only to CQL base tables and perhaps not to Alternator or to CQL's auxiliary tables (materialized views, secondary indexes, or CDC logs). For example, in Refs #26307 we wondered if perhaps the default "speculative_retry" option is different in Alternator than in CQL.

The first patch includes Alternator tests, and the second CQL tests. In both tests we discover that although recently (commit adf9c42, Refs #26610) we changed the default sstable compressor from LZ4Compressor to LZ4WithDictsCompressor, actually this change was **only** applied to CQL base tables. All Alternator tables and all CQL auxiliary tables (views, indexes, CDC) still use the old LZ4Compressor. This is issue #26914.

11f6a25d44 test/alternator: tests for schema of Alternator table
This patch introduces a new test that exposed a previously unknown bug,
Refs #26914:

Recently we saw a lot of patches that change how we create new schemas
(keyspaces and tables), sometimes changing various long-time defaults.
We started to worry that perhaps some of these defaults were applied only
to CQL and not to Alternator. For example, in Refs #26307 we wondered if
perhaps the default "speculative_retry" option is different in Alternator
than in CQL.

This patch includes a new test file test/alternator/test_cql_schema.py,
with tests for verifying how Alternator configures the underlying tables
it creates. This test shows that the "speculative_retry" doesn't have
this suspected bug - it defaults to "99.0PERCENTILE" in both CQL and
Alternator. But unfortunately, we do have this bug with the "compression"
option:

It turns out that recently (commit adf9c42, Refs #26610) we changed the
default sstable compressor from LZ4Compressor to LZ4WithDictsCompressor,
but the change was only applied to CQL, not Alternator. So the test that
"compression" is the same in both fails - and marked "xfails" and
I created a new issue to track it - #26914.

Another test verifies that Alternators "auxiliary" tables - holding
GSIs, LSIs and Streams - have the same default properties as the base
table. This currently seems to hold (there is no bug).

5b78e1cebe test/alternator: tests for ExclusiveStartKey in GSI
After in the previous patches we added more exhaustive testing for
the ExclusiveStartKey feature of Query and Scan, in this patch we
add tests for this feature in the context of GSIs.

Most interestingly, the ExclusiveStartKey when querying a GSI
isn't just the key of the GSI, but also includes the key columns
of the base - in other words, it is the key that Scylla uses for
its materialized view.

The tests here confirm that paging on GSI works - this paging uses
ExclusiveStartKey of course - but also what is the specific structure
and meaning of the content of ExclusiveStartKey.

We also include two xfailing tests which again, like in the previous
patches, show we don't do enough validation (issue #26988) and
don't recognize wrong values or spurious columns in ExclusiveStartKey.

As usual, all new tests pass on DynamoDB, and all except the xfailing
ones pass on Alternator.

65b364d94a test/alternator: more tests for ExclusiveStartKey in Scan
In the previous patch we added more tests for ExclusiveStartKey
in the context of the "Query" request. Here we do a similar thing
for "Scan". There are fewer error cases for Scan. In particular,
while it didn't make sense to use ExclusiveStartKey on a Query on a
table without a sort key (since a Query there always returns a single
item), for Scan it's needed - for paging. So we add in this patch
a test (that we didn't have before!) that Scan paging works correctly
also in the case of a table without a sort key.

This patch has one xfailing test reproducing #26988, that we don't
recognize and refuse spurious columns (columns not in the key) in
ExclusiveStartKey.

We already have in test/alternator/test_query.py a test -
test_query_exclusivestartkey - for one successful uses of
ExclusiveStartKey. But we missed testing quite a few edge cases of
this parameter, so this patch adds more tests for it - see the
comments on each individual test explaining its purpose.

With the new tests, we actually identified three cases where we got
the error handling wrong - cases of ExclusiveStartKey which DynamoDB
refuses, but Alternator allows. So three of the tests included here
pass on DynamoDB but fail on Alternator, so are marked with "xfail".

c03081eb12 alternator: improve error in tablets_mode_for_new_keyspaces=enforced
When in tablets_mode_for_new_keyspaces=enforced mode, Alternator is
supposed to fail when CreateTable asks explicitly for vnodes. Before
this patch, this error was an ugly "Internal Server Error" (an
exception thrown from deep inside the implementation), this patch
checks for this case in the right place, to generate a proper
ValidationException with a proper error message.

We also enable the test test_tablets_tag_vs_config which should have
caught this error, but didn't because it was marked xfail because
tablets_mode_for_new_keyspaces had not been live-updatable. Now that
it is, we can enable the test. I also improved the test to be slightly
faster (no need to change the configuration so many times) and also
check the ordinary case - where the schema doesn't choose neither
vnodes nor tablets explicitly and we should just use the default.

a659698c6d alternator: Fix test_scan_paging_missing_limit()
With tablets, the test begun failing. The failure was correlated with
the number of initial tablets, which when kept at default, equals
4 tablets per shard in release build and 2 tablets per shard in dev
build.

In this patch we split the test into two - one with a more data in
the table to check the original purpose of this test - that Scan
doesn't return the entire table in one page if "Limit" is missing.
The other test reproduces issue #10327 - that when the table is
small, Scan's page size isn't strictly limited to 1MB as it is in
DynamoDB.

Experimentally, 8000 KB of data (compared to 6000 KB before this patch)
is enough when we have up to 4 initial tablets per shard (so 8 initial
tablets on a two-shard node as we typically run in tests).
