This patch implements the changes required by the Vector Store authorization, as described in https://scylladb.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RND/pages/107085899/Vector+Store+Authentication+And+Authorization+To+ScyllaDB, that is:
- adding a new permission VECTOR_SEARCH_INDEXING, grantable only on ALL KEYSPACES
- allowing users with that permission to perform SELECT queries, but only on tables with a vector index
- increasing the number of scheduling groups by one to allow users to create a service level for a vector store user
- adjusting the tests and documentation
These changes are needed, as the vector indexes are managed by the external service, Vector Store, which needs to read the tables to create the indexes in its memory. We would like to limit the privileges of that service to a minimum to maintain the principle of least privilege, therefore a new permission, one that allows the SELECTs conditional on the existence of a vector_index on the table.
Fixes: VECTOR-201
Backport reasoning:
Backport to 2025.4 required as this can make upgrading clusters more difficult if we add it in 2026.1. As for now Scylla Cloud requires version 2025.4 to enable vector search and permission is set by orchestrator so there is no chance that someone will try to add this permission during upgrade. In 2026.1 it will be more difficult.

Before `sl:driver` was introduced, service levels were assigned as
follows:
1. New connections were processed in `main`.
2. After user authentication was completed, the connection's SL was
changed to the user's SL (or `sl:default` if the user had no SL).
This commit introduces `service_level_state` to `client_state` and
implements the following logic in `transport/server`:
1. If `sl:driver` is not present in the system (for example, it was
removed), service levels behave as described above.
2. If `sl:driver` is present, the flow is:
I. New connections use `sl:driver`.
II. After user authentication is completed, the connection's SL is
changed to the user's SL (or `sl:default`).
III. If a REGISTER (to events) request is handled, the client is
processing the control connection. We mark the client_state
to permanently use `sl:driver`.
The aforementioned state `2.III` is represented by
`_control_connection` flag in `client_state`.
Fixes: scylladb/scylladb#24411
This patch allows users with the VECTOR_SEARCH_INDEXING permission
to perform SELECT queries on tables that have a vector index.
This is needed for the Vector Store service, which
reads the vector-indexed tables, but does not require
the full SELECT permission.
This commit adds a new version of command_desc struct
that contains a set of permissions instead of a singular
permission. When this struct is passed to ensure/check_has_permission,
we check if the user has any of the included permission on the resource.

CDC and $paxos tables are managed internally by Scylla. Users are
already prohibited from running ALTER and DROP commands on CDC tables.
In this commit, we extend the same restrictions to $paxos tables to
prevent users from shooting themselves in the foot.
Other commands are generally allowed for CDC and $paxos tables. An
important distinction is that CDC tables are meant to be accessed
directly by users, so appropriate permissions must be set for
non-superusers. In contrast, $paxos tables are not intended for direct
access by users. Therefore, this commit explicitly disallows
non-superusers from accessing them. Superusers are still allowed
access for debugging and troubleshooting purposes.
Note that these restrictions apply even if explicit permissions have
been granted. For example, a non-superuser may be granted SELECT
permissions on a $paxos table, but the restriction above will
still take precedence. We don't try to restrict users
from giving permissions to $paxos tables for simplicity.
This is a refactoring commit — it extracts the CDC permissions handling
logic into a separate function: check_internal_table_permissions.
This is a preparatory step for the next commit, where we'll handle
paxos state tables similarly to CDC tables.
Similarly to `maybe_update_per_service_level_params`, the method update
connection's params but it gets `service_level_options` as an argument
instead of asking `service_level_controller`.
thrift support was deprecated since ScyllaDB 5.2

so let's drop it. in this change,
* thrift protocol support is dropped
* all references to thrift support in document are dropped
* the "thrift_version" column in system.local table is
preserved for backward compatibility, as we could load
from an existing system.local table which still contains
this clolumn, so we need to write this column as well.
* "/storage_service/rpc_server" is only preserved for
backward compatibility with java-based nodetool.
* `rpc_port` and `start_rpc` options are preserved, but
they are marked as "Unused". so that the new release
of scylladb can consume existing scylla.yaml configurations
which might contain these settings. by making them
deprecated, user will be able get warned, and update
their configurations before we actually remove them
in the next major release.

Statements code have only access to client_state from
which it takes auth::service. It doesn't have abort_source
nor group0_client so we need to add them to auth::service.
Additionally since abort_source can't be const the whole
announce_mutations method needs non const auth::service
so we need to remove const from the getter function.
When bounce_to_shard happens we need to fill client_state with
sl_controller appropriate for destination shard.
Before the patch sl_controller was set to null after the bounce.
It was fine becauase looks like it was never used in such scenario.
With auth-v2 we need to bounce attach/detach service level statements
because they modify things via auth subsystem which needs to be called
on shard 0.
Fixes some typos as found by codespell run on the code.
In this commit, I was hoping to fix only comments, not user-visible alerts, output, etc.
Follow-up commits will take care of them.

Checking keyspace/table presence should not be part of authorization code
and it is not done consistently today. For instance keyspace presence
is not checked in "alter keyspace" during authorization, but during
statement execution. Make it consistent.
Ideally, these errors should be transparently delivered
to the client, but in practice, due to various
flaws/bugs in scylla and/or the driver,
they can be lost, which enormously complicates troubleshooting.
const socket_address& get_remote_address() is needed for its
convenient conversion to string, which includes ip and port.
The constructor can be used as backdoor from frontends other than
CQL to create a session with an authenticated user, with access
to its attached service level information.

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.

This db argument is only needed to be pushed into
cdc::is_log_for_some_table() helper. All callers already have
the d._d.::database at hands and convert it into .real_database()
call-time, so this patch effectively generalizes those calls to
the .real_database().

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.
The database, keyspace, and table classes represent the replica-only
part of the objects after which they are named. Reading from a table
doesn't give you the full data, just the replica's view, and it is not
consistent since reconciliation is applied on the coordinator.
As a first step in acknowledging this, move the related files to
a replica/ subdirectory.
Timeout config is now stored in each connection, so there's no point
in tracking it inside each query as well. This patch removes
timeout_config from query_options and follows by removing now
unnecessary parameters of many functions and constructors.
It is called from cql3/statements' check_access methods and from thrift
handlers. The former have proxy argument from which they can get the
database. The latter already have the database itself on board.

This patch set adds a few new features in order to fix issue
The list of changes is briefly as follows:
- Add a new `LWT` flag to `cql3::prepared_metadata`,
which allows clients to clearly distinguish betwen lwt and
non-lwt statements without need to execute some custom parsing
logic (e.g. parsing the prepared query with regular expressions),
which is obviously quite fragile.
- Introduce the negotiation procedure for cql protocol extensions.
This is done via `cql_protocol_extension` enum and is expected
to have an appropriate mirroring implementation on the client
driver side in order to work properly.
- Implmenent a `LWT_ADD_METADATA_MARK` cql feature on top of the
aforementioned algorithm to make the feature negotiable and use
it conditionally (iff both server and client agrees with each
other on the set of cql extensions).
The feature is meant to be further utilized by client drivers
to use primary replicas consistently when dealing with conditional
statements.
* git@github.com:ManManson/scylla feature/lwt_prepared_meta_flag_2:
lwt: introduce "LWT" flag in prepared statement metadata
transport: introduce `cql_protocol_extension` enum and cql protocol extensions negotiation
The patch introduces two new features to aid with negotiating
protocol extensions for the CQL protocol:
- `cql_protocol_extensions` enum, which holds all supported
extensions for the CQL protocol (currently contains only
`LWT_ADD_METADATA_MARK` extension, which will be mentioned
below).
- An additional mechainsm of negotiating cql protocol extensions
to be used in a client connection between a scylla server
and a client driver.
These extensions are propagated in SUPPORTED message sent from the
server side with "SCYLLA_" prefix and received back as a response
from the client driver in order to determine intersection between
the cql extensions that are both supported by the server and
acknowledged by a client driver.
This intersection of features is later determined to be a working
set of cql protocol extensions in use for the current `client_state`,
which is associated with a particular client connection.
This way we can easily settle on the used extensions set on
both sides of the connection.
Currently there is only one value: `LWT_ADD_METADATA_MARK`, which
regulates whether to set a designated bit in prepared statement
metadata indicating if the statement at hand is an lwt statement
or not (actual implementation for the feature will be in a later
patch).
Each extension can also propagate some custom parameters to the
corresponding key. CQL protocol specification allows to send
a list of values with each key in the SUPPORTED message, we use
that to pass parameters to extensions as `PARAM=VALUE` strings.
In case of `LWT_ADD_METADATA_MARK` it's
`SCYLLA_LWT_OPTIMIZATION_META_BIT_MASK` which designates the
bitmask for LWT flag in prepared statement metadata in order to be
used for lookup in a client library. The associated bits of code in
`cql3::prepared_metadata` are adjusted to accomodate the feature.
The value for the flag is chosen on purpose to be the last bit
in the flags bitset since we don't want to possibly clash with
C* implementation in case they add more possible flag values to
prepared metadata (though there is an issue regarding that:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15746).
If it's fixed in upstream Cassandra, then we could synchronize
the value for the flag with them.
Also extend the underlying type of `flag` enum in
`cql3::prepared_metadata` to be `uint32_t` instead of `uint8_t`
because in either case flags mask is serialized as 32-bit integer.
In theory, shard-awareness extension support also should be
reworked in terms of provided minimal infrastructure, but for the
sake of simplicity, this is left to be done in a follow-up some
time later.
This solution eliminates the need to assume that all the client
drivers follow the CQL spec carefully because scylla-specific
features and protocol extensions could be enabled only in case both
server and client driver negotiate the supported feature set.

client_state is shared between requests and tracing state is per
request. It is not safe to use the former as a container for the later
since a state can be overwritten prematurely by subsequent requests.
This change introduces system.clients table, which provides
information about CQL clients connected.
PK is the client's IP address, CK consists of outgoing port number
and client_type (which will be extended in future to thrift/alternator/redis).
Table supplies also shard_id and username. Other columns,
like connection_stage, driver_name, driver_version...,
are currently empty but exist for C* compatibility and future use.
This is an ordinary table (i.e. non-virtual) and it's updated upon
accepting connections. This is also why C*'s column request_count
was not introduced. In case of abrupt DB stop, the table should not persist,
so it's being truncated on startup.
