Unlike with vnodes, each tablet is served only by a single
shard, and it is associated with a memtable that, when
flushed, it creates sstables which token-range is confined
to the tablet owning them.
On one hand, this allows for far better agility and elasticity
since migration of tablets between nodes or shards does not
require rewriting most if not all of the sstables, as required
with vnodes (at the cleanup phase).
Having too few tablets might limit performance due not
being served by all shards or by imbalance between shards
caused by quantization. The number of tabelts per table has to be
a power of 2 with the current design, and when divided by the
number of shards, some shards will serve N tablets, while others
may serve N+1, and when N is small N+1/N may be significantly
larger than 1. For example, with N=1, some shards will serve
2 tablet replicas and some will serve only 1, causing an imbalance
of 100%.
Now, simply allocating a lot more tablets for each table may
theoretically address this problem, but practically:
a. Each tablet has memory overhead and having too many tablets
in the system with many tables and many tablets for each of them
may overwhelm the system's and cause out-of-memory errors.
b. Too-small tablets cause a proliferation of small sstables
that are less efficient to acces, have higher metadata overhead
(due to per-sstable overhead), and might exhaust the system's
open file-descriptors limitations.
The options introduced in this change can help the user tune
the system in two ways:
1. Sizing the table to prevent unnecessary tablet splits
and migrations. This can be done when the table is created,
or later on, using ALTER TABLE.
2. Controlling min_per_shard_tablet_count to improve
tablet balancing, for hot tables.

since fedora 38 is EOL. and fedora 39 comes with fmt v10.0.0, also,
we've switched to the build image based on fedora 40, which ships
fmt-devel v10.2.1, there is no need to support fmt < 10.
in this change, we drop the support fmt < 10.

Our "sstring_view" is an historic alias for the standard std::string_view.
The patch changes the last remaining random uses of this old alias across
our source directory to the standard type name.
After this patch, there are no more uses of the "sstring_view" alias.
It will be removed in the following patch.

Currently, if tombstone_gc mode isn't specified for a table,
then "timeout" is used by default. With tablets, running
"nodetool repair -pr" may miss a tablet if it migrated across
the nodes. Then, if we expire tombstones for ranges that
weren't repaired, we may get data resurrection.
Set default tombstone_gc mode value for DDLs that don't
specify it. It's set to "repair" for tables which use tablets
unless they use local replication strategy or rf = 1.
Otherwise it's set to "timeout".
in in {fmt} before v10, it provides the specialization of `fmt::formatter<..>`
for `std::string_view` as well as the specialization of `fmt::formatter<..>`
for `fmt::string_view` which is an implementation builtin in {fmt} for
compatibility of pre-C++17. and this type is used even if the code is
compiled with C++ stadandard greater or equal to C++17. also, before v10,
the `fmt::formatter<std::string_view>::format()` is defined so it accepts
`std::string_view`. after v10, `fmt::formatter<std::string_view>` still
exists, but it is now defined using `format_as()` machinery, so it's
`format()` method does not actually accept `std::string_view`, it
accepts `fmt::string_view`, as the former can be converted to
`fmt::string_view`.
this is why we can inherit from `fmt::formatter<std::string_view>` and
use `formatter<std::string_view>::format(foo, ctx);` to implement the
`format()` method with {fmt} v9, but we cannot do this with {fmt} v10,
and we would have following compilation failure:

because the inherited `format()` method actually comes from
`fmt::formatter<fmt::string_view>`. to reduce the confusion, in this
change, we just inherit from `fmt::format<string_view>`, where
`string_view` is actually `fmt::string_view`. this follows
the document at
https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#formatting-user-defined-types,
and since there is less indirection under the hood -- we do not
use the specialization created by `FMT_FORMAT_AS` which inherit
from `formatter<fmt::string_view>`, hopefully this can improve
the compilation speed a little bit. also, this change addresses
the build failure with {fmt} v10.

Schema related files are moved there. This excludes schema files that
also interact with mutations, because the mutation module depends on
the schema. Those files will have to go into a separate module.

Alternator is a coordinator-side service and so should not access
the replica module. In this series all but one of uses of the replica
module are replaced with data_dictionary.
One case remains - accessing the replication map which is not
available (and should not be available) via the data dictionary.
The data_dictionary module is expanded with missing accessors.
Closes#9945
* github.com:scylladb/scylla:
alternator: switch to data_dictionary for table listing purposes
data_dictionary: add get_tables()
data_dictionary: introduce keyspace::is_internal()
Unlike replica::database::get_column_families() which is replaces,
it returns a vector of tables rather than a map. Map-like access
is provided by get_table(), so it's redundant to build a new
map container to expose the same functionality.
Instead of the replica module's is_internal_keyspace(), provide
it as part of data_dictionary. By making it a member of the keyspace
class, it is also more future proof in that it doesn't depend on
a static list of names.
Instead of lengthy blurbs, switch to single-line, machine-readable
standardized (https://spdx.dev) license identifiers. The Linux kernel
switched long ago, so there is strong precedent.
Three cases are handled: AGPL-only, Apache-only, and dual licensed.
For the latter case, I chose (AGPL-3.0-or-later and Apache-2.0),
reasoning that our changes are extensive enough to apply our license.
The changes we applied mechanically with a script, except to
licenses/README.md.
Closes#9937
Mirroring replica::database::get_keyspaces(), for Thrift's use.
We return a vector instead of a hash map. Random access is already
available via database::find_keyspace(). The name is available
via the keyspace metadata, and in fact Thrift ignore the map
name and uses the metadata name. Using a simpler type reduces
include dependencies for this heavily used module.
The function is plumbed to replica::database::get_keyspaces() so
it returns the same data.
Move replica-oriented classes to the replica namespace. The main
classes moved are ::database, ::keyspace, and ::table, but a few
ancillary classes are also moved. There are certainly classes that
should be moved but aren't (like distributed_loader) but we have
to start somewhere.
References are adjusted treewide. In many cases, it is obvious that
a call site should not access the replica (but the data_dictionary
instead), but that is left for separate work.
scylla-gdb.py is adjusted to look for both the new and old names.
Add metadata-only counterparts to ::database, ::keyspace, and ::table.
Apart from being metadata-only objects suitable for the coordinator,
the new types are also type-erased and so they can be mocked without
being linked to ::database and friends.
We use a single abstract class to mediate between data_dictionary
objects and the objects they represent (data_dictionary::impl).
This makes the data_dictionary objects very lightweight - they
only contain a pointer to the impl object (of which only one
needs to be instantiated), and a reference to the object that
is represented. This allows these objects to be easily passed
by value.
The abstraction is leaky: in one place it is outright breached
with data_dictionary::database::real_database() that returns
a ::database reference. This is used so that we can perform the
transition incrementally. Another place is that one of the
methods returns a secondary_index_manager, which in turn grants
access to the real objects. This will be addressed later, probably
by type erasing as well.
This patch only contains the interface, and no implementation. It
is somewhat messy since it mimics the years-old evolution of the
real objects, but maybe it will be easier to improve it now.
