This commit removes the now redundant driver pages from
the Scylla DB documentation. Instead, the link to the pages
where we moved the diver information is added.
Also, the links are updated across the ScyllaDB manual.
Redirections are added for all the removed pages.

This series allows an operator to reset 'cleanup needed' flag if he already cleaned up the node, so that automatic cleanup will not do it again. We also change 'nodetool cleanup' back to run cleanup on one node only (and reset 'cleanup needed' flag in the end), but the new '--global' option allows to run cleanup on all nodes that needed it simultaneously.
Fixes https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/26866
Backport to all supported version since automatic cleanup behaviour as it is now may create unexpected by the operator load during cluster resizing.

cleanup: introduce "nodetool cluster cleanup" command to run cleanup on all dirty nodes in the cluster
cleanup: Add RESTful API to allow reset cleanup needed flag
97ab3f6622 changed "nodetool cleanup" (without arguments) to run
cleanup on all dirty nodes in the cluster. This was somewhat unexpected,
so this patch changes it back to run cleanup on the target node only (and
reset "cleanup needed" flag afterwards) and it adds "nodetool cluster
cleanup" command that runs the cleanup on all dirty nodes in the
cluster.

If the user connects to Scylla via the maintenance socket, it may happen
that `auth_integration` has not been registered in the service level
controller yet. One example is maintenance mode when that will never
happen; another when the connection occurs before Scylla is fully
initialized.
To avoid unnecessary crashes, we add new branches if the passed user is
absent or if it corresponds to the anonymous role. Since the role
corresponding to a connection via the maintenance socket is the anonymous
role, that solves the problem.
In those cases, we completely circumvent any calls to `auth_integration`
and handle them separately. The modified methods are:
* `get_user_scheduling_group`,
* `with_user_service_level`,
* `describe_service_levels`.
For the first two, the new behavior is in line with the previous
implementation of those functions. The last behaves differently now,
but since it's a soft error, crashing the node is not necessary anyway.
We throw an exception instead, whose error message should give the user
a hint of what might be wrong.
The other uses of `auth_integration` within the service level controller
are not problematic:
* `find_effective_service_level`,
* `find_cached_effective_service_level`.
They take the name of a role as their argument. Since the anonymous role
doesn't have a name, it's not possible to call them with it.

1. Added description to primary-replica-only option
2. Fixed code text to better reflect the constrained cheked in the code
itself. namely: that both primary replica only and scope must be
applied only if load and steam is applied too, and that they are mutual
exclusive to each other.
Note: when https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/26584 is
implemented (with #26609) there will be a need to align the docs as
well - namely, primary-replica-only and scope will no longer be

Although valid for compact tables, non-full (or empty) clustering key prefixes are not handled for row keys when writing sstables. Only the present components are written, consequently if the key is empty, it is omitted entirely.
When parsing sstables, the parsing code unconditionally parses a full prefix.
This mis-match results in parsing failures, as the parser parses part of the row content as a key resulting in a garbage key and subsequent mis-parsing of the row content and maybe even subsequent partitions.
Introduce a new system table: `system.corrupt_data` and infrastructure similar to `large_data_handler`: `corrupt_data_handler` which abstracts how corrupt data is handled. The sstable writer now passes rows such corrupt keys to the corrupt data handler. This way, we avoid corrupting the sstables beyond parsing and the rows are also kept around in system.corrupt_data for later inspection and possible recovery.
Add a full-stack test which checks that rows with bad keys are correctly handled.
Fixes: https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/24489

In 2025.2, we don't force enabling the Raft-based topology in the code,
but we stated in the upgrade guides that it's a mandatory step of the
upgrade to 2025.1. We also remind users to enable the Raft-based
topology in the upgrade guides to 2025.2. Hence, we can rely in the
the documentation on the Raft-based topology being enabled. If it is
still disabled, we can just send the user to the upgrade guides. Hence:
- we remove all documentation related to enabling the Raft-based
topology, enabling the Raft-based schema (enabled Raft-based topology
implies enabled Raft-based schema), and the gossip-based topology,
- we can replace the documentation of the old manual recovery procedure
with the documentation of the new manual recovery procedure (done in
the previous commit).
(cherry picked from commit 203ea5d8f9)
We replace the documentation of the old recovery procedure with the
documentation of the new recovery procedure.
We can get rid of the old procedure from the documentation because
we requested users to enable the Raft-based topology during upgrades to
2025.1 and 2025.2.
We leave the note that enabling the Raft-based topology is required to
use the new recovery procedure just in case, since we didn't force
enabling the Raft-based topology in the code.

This commit increases the maximum length of names for keyspaces, tables, materialized views, and indexes from 48 to 192 bytes.
The previous 48-bytes limit was inherited from Cassandra 3 for compatibility. However, this validation was removed in Cassandra 4 and 5 (see CASSANDRA-20389)
and some usage scenarios (such as some feature store workflows generating long table names) now depend on this relaxed constraint.
This change brings ScyllaDB's behavior in line with modern Cassandra versions and better supports these use cases.
The new limit of 192 bytes is derived from underlying filesystem limitations to prevent runtime errors when creating directories for table data.
When a new table is created, ScyllaDB generates a directory for its SSTables. The directory name is constructed from the table name, a dash, and a 32-character UUID.
For a CDC-enabled table, an associated log table is also created, which has the suffix `_scylla_cdc_log` appended to its name.
The directory name for this log table becomes the longest possible representation.
Additionally we reserve 15 bytes for future use, allowing for potential future extensions without breaking existing schemas.
To guarantee that directory creation never fails due to exceeding filesystem name limits, the maximum name length is calculated as follows:
255 bytes (common filesystem limit for a path component)
- 32 bytes (for the 32-character UUID string)
- 1 byte (for the '-' separator)
- 15 bytes (for the '_scylla_cdc_log' suffix)
- 15 bytes (reserved for future use)
----------
= 192 bytes (Maximum allowed name length)
This calculation is similar in principle to the one proposed for Cassandra to fix related directory creation failures (see apache/cassandra/pull/4038).
This patch also updates/adds all associated tests to validate the new 192-byte limit.
The documentation has been updated accordingly.

* rack - On the local rack.
* dc - In the datacenter (DC) where the local node lives.
* all (default) - Everywhere across the cluster.

The feature is based on the existing load_and_stream paths, so it

This change resolves an issue where selecting a version from the multiversion dropdown on Markdown pages (e.g. https://docs.scylladb.com/manual/stable/alternator/getting-started.html) incorrectly redirected users to the main page instead of the corresponding versioned page.
The underlying cause was that the `multiversion` extension relies on `source_suffix` to identify available pages for URL mapping. Without this configuration, proper redirection fails for `.md` files.
This fix should be backported to `2025.1` to ensure correct behavior. Otherwise, the fix will only take effect in future releases.
Testing locally is non-trivial: clone the repository, apply the changes to each relevant branch, set `smv_remote_whitelist` to "", then run `make multiversionpreview`. Afterward, switch between versions in the dropdown to verify behavior. I've tested it locally, so the best next step is to merge and confirm that it works as expected in the live environment.

Changing DC or rack on a node which was already bootstrapped is, in
case of vnodes, very unsafe (almost guaranteed to cause data loss or
unavailability), and is outright not supported if the cluster has
a tablet-backed keyspaces. Moreover, the possibility of doing that
makes it impossible to uphold some of the invariants promised by
the RF-rack-valid flag, which is eventually going to become
unconditionally enabled.
Get rid of the above problems by removing the possibility of changing
the DC / rack of a node. A node will now fail to start if its snitch
reports a different DC or rack than the one that was reported during the
first boot.

Update the "How to Switch Snitches" document to indicate that changing

Remove a note which said that switching snitches is not supported with
tablets. It was introduced because of the concern that switching a
snitch might change DC or rack of the node, for which our current tablet
load balancer is completely unprepated. Now that changing DC/rack is
forbidden, there doesn't seem to be anything related to snitches which
could cause trouble for tablets.
