66be0f4577 Merge 'test: cluster: audit test suite optimization' from Dario Mirovic
Migrate audit tests from test/cluster/dtest to test/cluster. Optimize their execution time through cluster reuse.

The audit test suite is heavy. There are more than 70 test executions. Environment preparation is a significant part of each test case execution time.

This PR:
1. Copies audit tests from test/cluster/dtest to test/cluster, refactoring and enabling them
2. Groups tests functions by non-live cluster configuration variations to enable cluster reuse between them
    - Execution time reduced from 4m 29s to 2m 47s, which is ~38% execution time decrease
3. Removes the old audit tests from test/cluster/dtest

Includes two supporting changes:
- Allow specifying `AuthProvider` in `ManagerClient.get_cql_exclusive`
- Fix server log file handling for clean clusters

Refs [SCYLLADB-573](https://scylladb.atlassian.net/browse/SCYLLADB-573)

This PR is an improvement and does not require a backport.

6b259babeb Merge 'logstor: initial log-structured storage for key-value tables' from Michael Litvak
Introduce an initial and experimental implementation of an alternative log-structured storage engine for key-value tables.

Main flows and components:
* The storage is composed of 32MB files, each file divided to segments of size 128k. We write to them sequentially records that contain a mutation and additional metadata. Records are written to a buffer first and then written to the active segment sequentially in 4k sized blocks.
* The primary index in memory maps keys to their location on disk. It is a B-tree per-table that is ordered by tokens, similar to a memtable.
* On reads we calculate the key and look it up in the primary index, then read the mutation from disk with a single disk IO.
* On writes we write the record to a buffer, wait for it to be written to disk, then update the index with the new location, and free the previous record.
* We track the used space in each segment. When overwriting a record, we increase the free space counter for the segment of the previous record that becomes dead. We store the segments in a histogram by usage.
* The compaction process takes segments with low utilization, reads them and writes the live records to new segments, and frees the old segments.
* Segments are initially "mixed" - we write to the active segment records from all tables and all tablets. The "separator" process rewrites records from mixed segments into new segments that are organized by compaction groups (tablets), and frees the mixed segments. Each write is written to the active segment and to a separator buffer of the compaction group, which is eventually flushed to a new segment in the compaction group.

Currently this mode is experimental and requires an experimental flag to be enabled.
Some things that are not supported yet are strong consistency, tablet migration, tablet split/merge, big mutations, tombstone gc, ttl.

to use, add to config:
```
enable_logstor: true

experimental_features:
  - logstor
```

create a table:
```
CREATE TABLE ks.t(pk int PRIMARY KEY, a int, v text) WITH storage_engine = 'logstor';
```

INSERT, SELECT, DELETE work as expected
UPDATE not supported yet

no backport - new feature

821f8696a7 test: pylib: shut down exclusive cql connections in ManagerClient
get_cql_exclusive() creates a Cluster object per call, but never
records it. driver_close() cannot shut it down. The cluster's
internal scheduler thread then tries to submit work to an already
shut down executor. This causes RuntimeError:

RuntimeError: cannot schedule new futures after shutdown

Fix this by tracking every exclusive Cluster in a list and shutting
them all down in driver_close().

0a7a69345c test: pylib: scylla cluster after_test log fix
Before any test, a pool of ScyllaCluster objects is created.

At the beginning of a test suite, a ScyllaClusterManager is created,
and given a reference to the pool.
At the end of a test suite, the ScyllaClusterManager is destroyed.

Before each test case:
- ManagerClient is constructed and connected to the ScyllaClusterManager
  of that test suite
- A ScyllaCluster object is fetched from the pool
  - If the pool is empty, a new ScyllaCluster object is created
  - If the pool is not empty, a cached ScyllaCluster object is returned

After each test case:
- Return ScyllaCluster object from ManagerClient to the pool
  - If the cluster is dirty, the pool destroys it
  - If the cluster is clean, the pool caches it
- ManagerClient is destroyed

Many actions mark a cluster as dirty. Normal test execution will always
make the cluster be destroyed upon returning to the pool.
ManagerClient.mark_clean is not used in the tests. When it is used,
the flow with cluster reuse happens.

The bug is that the log file is closed even if cluster is not dirty.
This causes an error when trying to log to a reused cluster server.

The solution in this patch is to not close the log file if the cluster
is not dirty. Upon cluster reuse the log file will be open and functional.

Another approach would be to reopen the log file if closed, but this
approach seems more clean.

e7c3942d43 logstor: move segments to replica::compaction_group
Add a segment_set member to replica::compaction_group that manages the
logstor segments that belong to the compaction group, similarly to how
it manages sstables. Add also a separator buffer in each compaction
group.

When writing a mutation to a compaction group, the mutation is written
to the active segment and to the separator buffer of the compaction
group, and when the separator buffer is flushed the segment is added to
the compaction_group's segment set.

b228eb26e6 Merge 'dbuild: Use slirp4netns network in dbuild nested containers' from Calle Wilund
Fixes #25084

Add slirp4netns and use for nested containers. This will allow nested container port aliasing, helping CI stability.

Note: this contains and updated Dockerfile for dbuild image, but since chicken and eggs, right now will force install slirp4netns before anything in dbuild script.

Updates the mock server handling to use ephemeral ports and query from container, ensuring we don't get port collisions. (boost as well as pytest).

Includes a timeout up, and a tweak to our scylla_cluster handling, ensuring we don't deadlock when pipe size is less than requires for our sys notify messages.

c50cf32793 test: pylib: util: wait for CQL being ready with a shorter period
`wait_for_cql` is used in hundreds, if not thousands, of places in tests.
We shouldn't waste up to 1s for every call.

Also, the 1s period is clearly too long compared to the bootstrap time,
which is usually 0-3s in dev mode.

46b7170347 Merge 'test/pylib: centralize timeout scaling and propagate build_mode in LWT helpers' from Alex Dathskovsky
This series improves timeout handling consistency across the test framework and makes build-mode effects explicit in LWT tests. (starting with LWT test that got flaky)

1. Centralize timeout scaling
Introduce scale_timeout(timeout) fixture in runner.py to provide a single, consistent mechanism for scaling test timeouts based on build mode.
Previously, timeout adjustments were done in an ad-hoc manner across different helpers and tests. Centralizing the logic:
Ensures consistent behavior across the test suite
Simplifies maintenance and reasoning about timeout behavior
Reduces duplication and per-test scaling logic
This becomes increasingly important as tests run on heterogeneous hardware configurations, where different build modes (especially debug) can significantly impact execution time.

2. Make scale_timeout explicit in LWT helpers
Propagate scale_timeout explicitly through BaseLWTTester and Worker, validating it at construction time instead of relying on implicit pytest fixture injection inside helper classes.
Additionally:
Update wait_for_phase_ops() and wait_for_tablet_count() to use scale_timeout_by_mode() for consistent polling behavior across modes
Update all LWT test call sites to pass build_mode explicitly
Increase default timeout values, as the previous defaults were too short and prone to flakiness, particularly under slower configurations such as debug builds

Overall, this series improves determinism, reduces flakiness, and makes the interaction between build mode and test timing explicit and maintainable.

backport: not required just an enhansment for test.py infra

Introduce scale_timeout(mode) to centralize test timeout scaling logic based on build mode, the function will return a callable that will handle the timeout by mode.
This ensures consistent timeout behavior across test helpers and eliminates ad-hoc per-test scaling adjustments.
Centralizing the logic improves maintainability and makes timeout behavior easier to reason about.
This becomes increasingly important as we run tests on heterogeneous hardware configurations.
Different build modes (especially debug) can significantly affect execution time, and having a single scaling mechanism helps keep test stability predictable across environments.

No functional change beyond unifying existing timeout scaling behavior.

7564a56dc8 Merge 'tombstone_gc: allow using repair-mode tombstone gc with RF=1 tables' from Botond Dénes
Currently, repair-mode tombstone-gc cannot be used on tables with RF=1. We want to make repair-mode the default for all tablet tables (and more, see https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/22814), but currently a keyspace created with RF=1 and later altered to RF>1 will end up using timeout-mode tombstone gc. This is because the repair-mode tombstone-gc code relies on repair history to determine the gc-before time for keys/ranges. RF=1 tables cannot run repairs so they will have empty repair history and consequently won't be able to purge tombstones.
This PR solves this by keeping a registry of RF=1 tables and consulting this registry when creating `tombstone_gc_state` objects. If the table is RF=1, tombstone-gc will work as if the table used immediate-mode tombstone-gc. The registry is updated on each replication update. As soon as the table is not RF=1 anymore, the tombstone-gc reverts to the natural repair-mode behaviour.

After this PR, tombstone-gc defaults to repair-mode for all tables, regardless of RF and tablets/vnodes.

c7d3f80863 Merge 'auth: do not create default 'cassandra:cassandra' superuser' from Dario Mirovic
This patch series removes creation of default 'cassandra:cassandra' superuser on system start.

Disable creation of a superuser with default 'cassandra:cassandra' credentials to improve security. The current flow requires clients to create another superuser and then drop the default `cassandra:cassandra' role. For those who do, there is a time window where the default credentials exist. For those who do not, that role stays. We want to improve security by forcing the client to either use config to specify default values for default superuser name and password or use cqlsh over maintenance socket connection to explicitly create/alter a superuser role.

The patch series:
- Enable role modification over the maintenance socket
- Stop using default 'cassandra' value for default superuser, skipping creation instead

0e5ddec2a8 test: pylib: fix connect_driver handling when adding and starting server
When connect_driver=False, the expected server up state should be
capped to HOST_ID_QUERIED. This is to avoid waiting for CQL readiness,
which requires a superuser to be present.

This logic was only in ScyllaCluster.server_start. ManagerClient.server_add
with start=True and connect_driver=False would still wait for CQL and hang
if no superuser is present. The workaround was to call
ManagerClient.server_add(start=False, connect_driver=False) followed by
ManagerClient.server_start(connect_driver=False).

This patch moves the capping from ScyllaCluster.server_start to
ManagerClient.server_add and ManagerClient.server_start, where connect_driver
is processed. ScyllaCluster only receives the already resolved
expected_server_up_state value.

fd17dcbec8 auth: do not create default 'cassandra:cassandra' superuser
Changes the behavior of default superuser creation.
Previously, without configuration 'cassandra:cassandra' credentials
were used. Now default superuser creation is skipped if not configured.

The two ways to create default superuser are:
- Config file - auth_superuser_name and auth_superuser_salted_password fields
- Maintenance socket - connect over maintenance socket and CREATE/ALTER ROLE ...

Behavior changes:

Old behavior:
- No config - 'cassandra:cassandra' created
- auth_superuser_name only - <name>:cassandra created
- auth_superuser_salted_password only - 'cassandra:<password>' created
- Both specified - '<name>:<password>' created

New behavior:
- No config - no default superuser
    - Requires maintenance socket setup
- auth_superuser_name only - '<name>:' created WITHOUT password
    - Requires maintenance socket setup
- auth_superuser_salted_password only - no default superuser
- Both specified - '<name>:<password>' created

5c84a76b28 test.py: setup pytest logger
This commit introduces pure pytest logging into a file

Previously, test.py used pytest as a script(not a framework) and just captured pytest stdout and logged this data by itself

This commit sets up the log files format that additionaly display Python processName, threadName adn taskName because test.py test cases use them, and now it is so hard to investigate issues that are connected with parallelism inside test case themselve

In addition, commit splits the logging of different pytest workers(xdist) into different files. If pytest workers have ho failed test - log file for these workers will be deleted

There is also additional logging for failures that will contain a separate file per test failure and contain the error itself (stacktrace) and all capture logs from stdout, stderr during the test run. With --save-log-on-success it will be a separate file per test on pass as well

All this new functionality works with the new xdit scheduler (--test-py-init=True)

a03ebe1a29 Merge 'cql: implement a new per-row TTL feature' from Nadav Har'El
This series implements a new per-row TTL feature for CQL. The per-row TTL feature was requested in issue #13000. It is a feature that does not exist in Cassandra, and was inspired by DynamoDB's TTL feature - and under the hood uses the same implementation that we used in Alternator to implement this DynamoDB feature.

The new per-row TTL feature is completely separate from CQL's existing per-write (and per-cell) TTL, and both will be available to users.

In the per-row TTL feature, one column in the table is designated as the "TTL" column, and its value for a row is the expiration time for that row. The TTL column can be designated at table creation time, e.g.:

```cql
CREATE TABLE tab (
    id int PRIMARY KEY,
    t text,
    expiration timestamp TTL
);
```

Or after the table already exists with:

```cql
ALTER TABLE tab TTL expiration
```

Expiration can also be disabled, with:

```cql
ALTER TABLE tab TTL NULL
```

The new per-row TTL feature has two features that users have been asking for:

1. A user can change the value of just the TTL column - without rewriting the entire row - to change the expiration time of the entire row.
2. When an expired row is finally deleted, a CDC event about this deletion appears in the CDC log (if CDC is enabled), including - if a preimage is enabled - the content of the deleted row.

To achieve the second goal (CDC events), a row is not guaranteed to disappear at exactly its expiration time (as CQL's original TTL feature guarantees). Rather, the row is deleted some time later, depending on `alternator_ttl_period_in_seconds`; Until the actual deletion, the row is still readable (and even writable). But we are guaranteed that when the row is finally deleted, the CDC event will come too.

The implementation uses the same background thread used by Alternator to periodically scan for expired items and delete them.

The expiration thread keeps the same metrics as it did for Alternator:
* `scylla_expiration_scan_passes`
* `scylla_expiration_scan_table`
* `scylla_expiration_items_deleted`
* `scylla_expiration_secondary_ranges_scanned`

The series begins with a few small preparation patches, followed by the main part of the feature (which isn't big, since we are just enabling the pre-existing Alternator expiration machinary for CQL) and finally 30 tests (single-node and multi-node tests) and documentation.

This series is a new feature, so traditionally would not be backported. However, I wouldn't be surprised if we will be requested to backport it so that customers will not need to wait for a new major release.

154cecda71 test: set low alternator_ttl_period_in_seconds in CQL tests
In test/alternator/run we set alternator_ttl_period_in_seconds to a very
low number (0.5 seconds) to allow TTL tests to expire items very quickly
and finish quickly.

Until now, we didn't need to do this for CQL tests, because they weren't
using this Alternator-only feature. Now that CQL uses the same expiration
feature with its original configuration parameter, we need to set it in
CQL tests too.

56cc7bbeec Merge 'Allow "global" snapshot using topology coordinator + add tablet metadata to manifest' from Calle Wilund
Refs: SCYLLADB-193

Adds a "snapshot_table" topology operation and associated data structure/table columns to support dispatching a snapshot operation as a topo coordinator op.

Logic is similar, and thus broken out and semi-shared with, truncation.

Also adds optional tablet metadata to manifest, listing all tablets present in a given snapshot, as well as
tablet sstable ownership, repair status, and token ranges.

As per description in SCYLLADB-193, the alternative snapshot mechanism is in
a separate namespace under 'tablets', which while dubious is the desired destination.

The API is accessed via `nodetool cluster snapshot`, which more or less mirrors `nodetool snapshot`, but using topo op.

TTL is added to message propagation as a separate patch here, since it is not (yet) used from API (or nodetool).
Requires a syntax for both API and command line.

d9ce2db1a3 test.py: remove setsid from the framework
With previous architecture, scylla servers were handled by test.py and
if pytest fails, test.py was responsible for stopping scylla processes.
Now with only pytest handling, there is no such mechanism, that's why
I'm removing the setsid, so when the parent pytest process closes it
will automatically close all child including any started process during
testing. This will allow to not leave any scylla process in case pytest
was killed.

189b056605 scylla_gdb: use run_ctx to nahdle Scylla exe and remove pexpect
Previous implementation of Scylla lifecycle brought flakiness to the test.
This change leaves lifecycle management up to PythonTest.run_ctx,
which implements more stability logic for setup/teardown.

Replace pexpect-driven GDB interaction with GDB batch mode:
- Avoids DeprecationWarning: "This process is multi-threaded, use of forkpty()
may lead to deadlocks in the child.", which ultimately caused CI deadlocks.
- Removes timeout-driven flakiness on slow systems - no interactive waits/timeouts.
- Produces cleaner, more direct assertions around command execution and output.
- Trade-off: batch mode adds ~10s per command per test,
but with --dist=worksteal this is ~10% overall runtime increase across the suite.

This reverts commit bcd1758911, reversing
changes made to b2c2a99741.

There is a design decision to not introduce additional test
orchestration tool for scylladb.git (see comments for #27499). One
commit has already been reverted in 55c7bc7. Last CI runs made validator
test flaky, so it is a time to remove all remaining validator tests.

It needs a backport to 2026.1 to remove remaining validator tests from there.
