Broken by the move to an intrusive container (9cbbf40), which caused
said method to only clear the container but not destroy the inactive
reads contained therein. This patch restores the previous behaviour and
also adds a call the destructor (to ensure inactive reads are cleaned up
under any circumstances), as well as a unit test.
The multishard combining reader currently assumes that all shards have
data for the read range. This however is not always true and in extreme
cases (like reading a single token) it can lead to huge read
amplification. Avoid this by not pushing shards to
`_shard_selection_min_heap` if the first token they are expected to
produce falls outside of the read range. Also change the read ahead
algorithm to select the shards from `_shard_selection_min_heap`, instead
of walking them in shard order. This was wrong in two ways:
* Shards may be ordered differently with respect to the first partition
they will produce; reading ahead on the next shard in shard order
might not bring in data on the next shard the read will continue on.
Shard order is only correct when starting a new range and shards are
iterated over in the order they own tokens according to the sharding
algorithm.
* Shards that may not have data relevant to the read range are also
considered for read ahead.
After this patch, the multishard reader will only read from shards that
have data relevant to the read range, both in the case of normal reads
and also for read-ahead.

`_range_override` is used to store the modified range the reader reads
after it has to be recreated (when recreating a reader it's read range
is reduced to account for partitions it already read). When engaged,
this field overrides the `_pr` field as the definitive range the reader
is supposed to be currently reading. Fast forwarding conceptually
overrides the range the reader is currently reading, however currently
it doesn't reset the `_range_override` field. This resulted in
`_range_override` (containing the modified pre-fast-forward range)
incorrectly overriding the fast-forwarded-to range in `_pr` when
validating the first partition produced by the just recreated reader,
resulting in a false-positive validation failure.

The off-by-one error would cause
test_multishard_combining_reader_non_strictly_monotonic_positions to fail if
the added range_tombstones filled the buffer exactly to the end.
In such situation, with the old loop condition,
make_fragments_with_non_monotonic_positions would add one range_tombstone too
many to the deque, violating the test assumptions.
The sstable_mutation_reader, like all other mutation readers expects
that the partition-range passed to it is kept alive by its creator
for the duration of its lifetime. However, the single-key constructor
of the sstable reader was more tolerant, as it only extracted the key
from the range, essentially requiring only the key to be kept alive (but
not the containing range). Naturally in time some code come to rely on
it and ended up passing temporary ranges to the reader. This behaviour
will no longer be acceptable as we are about to consolidate the various
sstable reader constructors, uniformly requiring that the range is kept
alive. So this patch fixes up the tests so they work with this stricter
requirement. Only two occurences were found.
If possible, test the highest sstable format version,
as it's the mostly used.
If there pre-written sstables we need to load from the
test directory from an older version, either specify their
version explicitly, or use the new test_env::reusable_sst
method that looks up the latest sstable version in the
given directory and generation.

`multishard_combining_reader` currently only works under the assumption
that every table uses the same sharder configured using the node's number
of shards. But we could potentially specify a different sharder for a chosen table,
e.g. one that puts everything on shard 0.
Then this assumption will be broken and the reader causes a segfault.
Fixes#7945.
This reverts commit dc77d128e9. It was reverted
due to a strange and unexplained diff, which is now explained. The
HEAD on the working directory being pulled from was set back, so git
thought it was merging the intended commits, plus all the work that was
committed from HEAD to master. So it is safe to restore it.
This reverts commit 0aa1f7c70a, reversing
changes made to 72c59e8000. The diff is
strange, including unrelated commits. There is no understanding of the
cause, so to be safe, revert and try again.
This abstraction is used to merge the output of multiple readers, each
opened for a single partition query, into a non-decreasing stream
of mutation_fragments.
It is similar to `mutation_reader_merger`,
an important difference is that the new merger may select new readers
in the middle of a partition after it already returned some fragments
from that partition. It uses the new `position_reader_queue` abstraction
to select new readers. It doesn't support multi-partition (ring range) queries.
The new merger will be later used when reading from sstable sets created
by TimeWindowCompactionStrategy. This strategy creates many sstables
that are mostly disjoint w.r.t the contained clustering keys, so we can
delay opening sstable readers when querying a partition until after we have
processed all mutation fragments with positions before the keys
contained by these sstables.
Lower level functions such as `create_single_key_sstable_reader`
were made methods of `sstable_set`.
The motivation is that each concrete sstable_set
may decide to use a better sstable reading algorithm specific to the
data structures used by this sstable_set. For this it needs to access
the set's internals.
A nice side effect is that we moved some code out of table.cc
and database.hh which are huge files.
If the consumer happens to check the EOS flag before it hits the
exception injected by the abort (by calling fill_buffer()), they can
think the stream ended normally and expect it to be valid. However this
is not guaranteed when the reader is aborted. To avoid consumers falsely
thinking the stream ended normally, don't set the EOS flag on abort at
all.
Additionally make sure the producer is aborted too on abort. In theory
this is not needed as they are the one initiating the abort, but better
to be safe then sorry.

Clang does not yet implement p1091r3, which allows lambdas
to capture structured bindings. To accomodate it, don't
use structured bindings for variables that are later
captured.
Require a schema and an operation name to be given to each permit when
created. The schema is of the table the read is executed against, and
the operation name, which is some name identifying the operation the
permit is part of. Ideally this should be different for each site the
permit is created at, to be able to discern not only different kind of
reads, but different code paths the read took.
As not all read can be associated with one schema, the schema is allowed
to be null.
The name will be used for debugging purposes, both for coredump
debugging and runtime logging of permit-related diagnostics.
Don't create an own permit, take one as a parameter, like all other
readers do, so the permit can be provided by the higher layer, making
sure all parts of the logical read use the same permit.
The main user of this method, the one which required this method to
return the collective buffer size of the entire reader tree, is now
gone. The remaining two users just use it to check the size of the
reader instance they are working with.
So de-virtualize this method and reduce its responsibility to just
returning the buffer size of the current reader instance.
The memory usage is now maintained and updated on each change to the
mutation fragment, so it needs not be recalculated on a call to
`memory_usage()`, hence the schema parameter is unused and can be
removed.
We want to start tracking the memory consumption of mutation fragments.
For this we need schema and permit during construction, and on each
modification, so the memory consumption can be recalculated and pass to
the permit.
In this patch we just add the new parameters and go through the insane
churn of updating all call sites. They will be used in the next patch.
Not used yet, this patch does all the churn of propagating a permit
to each impl.
In the next patch we will use it to track to track the memory
consumption of `_buffer`.
Current code uses a single counter to produce multiple buffer worth of
data. This uses carry-on from on buffer to the other, which happens to
work with the current memory accounting but is very fragile. Account
each buffer separately, resetting the counter between them.
Some tests rely on `consume*()` calls on the permit to take effect
immediately. Soon this will only be true once the permit has been
admitted, so make sure the permit is admitted in these tests.
The reader recreation mechanism is a very delicate and error-prone one,
as proven by the countless bugs it had. Most of these bugs were related
to the recreated reader not continuing the read from the expected
position, inserting out-of-order fragments into the stream.
This patch adds a defense mechanism against such bugs by validating the
start position of the recreated reader.
The intent is to prevent corrupt data from getting into the system as
well as to help catch these bugs as close to the source as possible.

A test_env contains an sstables_manager, which will soon have a close() method.
As such, it can no longer be a temporary. Switch to using test_env::do_with_async().
Testing the multishard reader's various read-ahead related corner cases
requires a non-trivial setup. Currently there is just one such test,
but we plan to add more so in this patch we extract this setup code to a
free function to allow reuse across multiple tests.
A fast-forwarded puppet reader goes immediately to EOS. A counter is
added to the remote control to allow tests to check which readers were
actually fast forwarded.
Currently the puppet reader will do an automatic (half) buffer-fill in
the constructor. This makes it very hard to reason about when and how
the action that was passed to it will be executed. Refactor it to take a
list of actions and only execute those, no hidden buffer-fill anymore.
No better proof is needed for this than the fact that the test which is
supposed to test the multishard reader being destroyed with a pending
read-ahead was silently broken (not testing what it should).
This patch fixes this test too.
Also fixed in this patch is the `pending` and `destroyed` fields of the
remote control, tests can now rely on these to be correct and add
additional checkpoints to ensure the test is indeed doing what it was
intended to do.
Expose functions for the outside world to create evictable readers. We
expose two functions, which create an evictable reader with
`auto_pause::yes` and `auto_pause::no` respectively. The function
creating the latter also returns a handle in addition to the reader,
which can be used to pause the reader.
New SStables are only added to backlog tracker if set_unshared() was
called on their behalf. SStables created for streaming are not being
added to the tracker because make_streaming_sstable_for_write()
doesn't call set_unshared() nor does it caller. Which results in backlog
not accounting for their existence, which means backlog will be much
lower than expected.
This problem could be fixed by adding a set_unshared() call but it
turns out we don't even need set_unshared() anymore. It was introduced
when Scylla metadata didn't exist, now a SSTable has built-in knowledge
of whether or not it's shared. Relying on every SSTable creator calling
set_unshared() is bug prone. Let's get rid of it and let the SStable
itself say whether or not it's shared. If an imported SSTable has not
Scylla metadata, Scylla will still be able to compute shards using
token range metadata.

And use the reader_permit for this instead. This refactoring has
revealed a pre-existing bug in the `test_lifecycle_policy`, which is
also addressed in this patch. The bug is that said policy executes
reader destructions in the background, and these are not waited for. For
some reason, the semaphore -> permit transition pushes these races over
the edge and we start seeing some of these destruction fibers still
being unfinished when test scopes are exited, causing all sorts of
trouble. The solution is to introduce a special gate that tests can use
to wait for all background work to finish, before the test scope is
exited.
All reader are soon going to require a valid permit, so make sure we
have a valid permit which we can pass to the delegate reader when
creating it. This means `memtable::make_flat_reader()` now also requires
a permit to be passed to it.
Internally the permit is stored in `scanning_reader`, which is used both
for flushes and normal reads. In the former case a permit is not
required.
We typically use `std::bad_function_call` to throw from
mandatory-to-implement virtual functions, that cannot have a meaningful
implementation in the derived class. The problem with
`std::bad_function_call` is that it carries absolutely no information
w.r.t. where was it thrown from.
I originally wanted to replace `std::bad_function_call` in our codebase
with a custom exception type that would allow passing in the name of the
function it is thrown from to be included in the exception message.
However after I ended up also including a backtrace, Benny Halevy
pointed out that I might as well just throw `std:bad_function_call` with
a backtrace instead. So this is what this patch does.
All users are various unimplemented methods of the
`flat_mutation_reader::impl` interface.
