924ed7bb1c make_multishard_combining_reader: stop taking partitioner
The function already takes schema so there's no need
for it to take partitioner. It can be obtained using
schema::get_partitioner

6b747f4673 database: avoid creating thread in make_directory_for_column_family()
make_directory_for_column_family() is used in a parallel_for_each() in
parse_system_tables(). Because parallel_for_each does not preempt
in the initial execution of its input function, and because each thread
allocates 128k for the stack, we end up allocating many hundreds of
megabytes if there are many tables.

This happens early during boot and will only cause problems if
there are 5,000 tables per gigabyte of shard memory, and unlikely
combination that will probably fail later, but still it is better to
avoid unnecessary large allocations.

This was developed in order to fix #6003, until it was discovered that
c020b4e5e2 ("logalloc: increase capacity of _regions vector
outside reclaim lock") is the real fix.

906784639d Merge "Clean sstables from using global objects" from Pavel E
"
This set cleans sstable_writer_config and surrounding sstables
code from using global storage_ and feature_ service-s and database
by moving the configuration logic onto sstables_manager (that
was supposed to do it since eebc3701a5).

Most of the complexity is hidden around sstable_writer_config
creation, this set makes the sstables_manager create this object
with an explicit call. All the rest are consequences of this change.

75efa707ce db/config: add config memory limit of otherwise unlimited queries
We have a few kind of queries whose memory consumption is not limited at
all. One of these is reverse queries, which reads entire partitions into
memory, before reversing them. These partitions can be larger than
memory and thus such a query can single-handedly cause OOM.
This patch introduces a configuration for a memory limit for such
queries. This will serve as a hard limit and queries which attempt to
use more memory than this, will be aborted.
The limit is propagated to table objects, with the intention of keeping
system tables unlimited. These tables are usually small and initiators
of system queries are not prepared for failures.

85d9326d70 sstables_manager: Don't use global helper to generate writer config
The main goal of this patch is to stop using get_config() glbal
when creating the sstable_writer_config instance.

Other than being global the existing get_config() is also confusing
as it effectively generates 3 (three) sorts of configs -- one for
scylla, when db config and features are ready, the other one for
tests, when no storage service is at hands, and the third one for
tests as well, when the storage service is created by test env
(likely intentionally, but maybe by coincidence the resulting config
is the same as for no-storage-service case).

With this patch it's now 100% clear which one is used when. Also
this makes half the work of removing get_config() helper.

The db::config and feature_service used to initialize the managers
are referenced by database that creates and keeps managers on,
so the references are safe.

5e07c00eeb Merge 'Delete table snapshot' from Amnon
This series adds an option to the API that supports deleting
a specific table from a snapshot.
The implementation works in a similar way to the option

c3260bad25 storage_service: Add optional table name to clear snapshot
There are cases when it is useful to delete specific table from a
snapshot.

An example is when a snapshot is used for backup. Backup can take a long
period of time, during that time, each of the tables can be deleted once
it was backup without waiting for the entire backup process to
completed.

This patch adds such an option to the database and to the storage_service
wrapping method that calls it.

If a table is specified a filter function is created that filter only
the column family with that given name.

This is similar to the filtering at the keyspace level.

01084a79b8 hh: send orphaned hints on HINT_MUTATION verb
When replaying a hint with a destination node that is no longer in the
cluster, it will be sent with cl=ALL to all its new replicas. Before
this patch, the MUTATION verb was used, which causes such hints to be
handled on the same connection and with the same priority as regular
writes. This can cause problems when a large number of hints is
orphaned and they are scheduled to be sent at once. Such situation
may happen when replacing a dead node - all nodes that accumulated hints
for the dead node will now send them with cl=ALL to their new replicas.

This patch changes the verb used to send such hints to HINT_MUTATION.
This verb is handled on a separate connection and with streaming
scheduling group, which gives them similar priority to non-orphaned
hints.

bed61b96a2 Merge "Move features from storage- into feature-service" from Pavel
"
There's a lot of code around that needs storage service purely to
get the specific feature value (cluster_supports_<something> calls).
This creates several circular dependencies, e.g. storage_service <->
migration_manager one and database <-> storage_servuce. Also features
sit on storage_service, but register themselfs on the feature_service
and the former subscribes on them back which also looks strange.

I propose to keep all the features on feature_service, this keeps the
latter intependent from other components, makes it possible to break
one of the mentioned circle dependencyand heavily relax the other.

Also the set helps us fighting the globals and, after it, the
feature_service can be safely stopped at the very last moment.

69f606baa0 database: check timout before applying writes
Attempting to apply timed-out writes is a wasted effort. The coordinator
have already given up on the write and reported it as failed to the
client. Any cycles spent on this write is a waste at this point.
We currently only check the timeout if the write is blocked on memory,
otherwise, if the system is not under pressure, we will happily apply
timed out writes. If the system is under pressure we will make it worse
by wasting cycles on processing a timed out write.

Prevent this by checking the timeout as early as possible in
`database::apply()` and `database::apply_counter_update()`.

This patch doesn't solve all our problems related to timed out writes.
They can still sit and accumulate in various queues without expiring, a
prominent example being the smp queues. It is however a good first step
towards reducing wasted effort spent on them.

dfc8b2fc45 treewide: replace reader_resource_tracer with reader_permit
The former was never really more than a reader_permit with one
additional method. Currently using it doesn't even save one from any
includes. Now that readers will be using reader_permit we would have to
pass down both to mutation_source. Instead get rid of
reader_resource_tracker and just use reader_permit. Instead of making it
a last and optional parameter that is easy to ignore, make it a
first class parameter, right after schema, to signify that permits are
now a prominent part of the reader API.

This -- mostly mechanical -- patch essentially refactors mutation_source
to ask for the reader_permit instead of reader_resource_tracking and
updates all usage sites.

f240d5760c migration_manager: Split notifier from main class
The _listeners list on migration_manager class and the corresponding
notify_xxx helpers have nothing to do with the its instances, they
are just transport for notification delivery.

At the same time some services need the migration manager to be alive
at their stop time to unregister from it, while the manager itself
may need them for its needs.

The proposal is to move the migration notifier into a complete separate
sharded "service". This service doesn't need anything, so it's started
first and stopped last.

While it's not effectively a "migration" notifier, we inherited the name
from Cassandra and renaming it will "scramble neurons in the old-timers'
brains but will make it easier for newcomers" as Avi says.

85822c7786 database: fix schema use-after-move in make_multishard_streaming_reader
On aarch64, asan detected a use-after-move. It doesn't happen on x86_64,
likely due to different argument evaluation order.

Fix by evaluating full_slice before moving the schema.

Note: I used "auto&&" and "std::move()" even though full_slice()
returns a reference. I think this is safer in case full_slice()
changes, and works just as well with a reference.

Fixes #5419.

d043393f52 db+semaphores+tests: mandatory `name' param in reader_concurrency_semaphore
Exception messages contain semaphore's name (provided in ctor).
This affects the queue overflow exception as well as timeout
exception. Also, custom throwing function in ctor was changed
to `prethrow_action', i.e. metrics can still be updated there but
now callers have no control over the type of the exception being
thrown. This affected `restricted_reader_max_queue_length' test.
`reader_concurrency_semaphore'-s docs are updated accordingly.

9d7f8f18ab database: Avoid OOMing with flush continuations after failed memtable flush
The original fix (10f6b125c8) didn't
take into account that if there was a failed memtable flush (Refs
flush) but is not a flushable memtable because it's not the latest in
the memtable list. If that happens, it means no other memtable is
flushable as well, cause otherwise it would be picked due to
evictable_occupancy(). Therefore the right action is to not flush
anything in this case.

Suspected to be observed in #4982. I didn't manage to reproduce after
triggering a failed memtable flush.

Fixes #3717
