It seems that Scylla has more values returned by DeleteTable operation than DynamoDB.
In this patch I added a table status check when generating output.
If we delete the table, values KeySchema, AttributeDefinitions and CreationDateTime won't be returned.
The test has also been modified to check that these attributes are not returned.

A reviewer noted that test_update_expression_list_append_non_list_arguments
has too much code duplication - the same long API call to run
"SET a = list_append(...)" was repeated many times.
So in this patch we add a short inner function "try_list_append" to
avoid this duplication.

The Alternator tests can run against HTTPS - namely when using
test/alternator/run with the "--https" option (local Alternator
configured with HTTPS) or "--aws" option (DynamoDB, using HTTPS).
In some cases we make these HTTPS requests with verify=False, to avoid
checking the SSL certificates. E.g., this is necessary for Alternator
with a self-signed certificate. Unfortunately, the urllib3 library adds
an ugly warning message when SSL certificate verification is disabled.
In the past we tried to disable these warnings, using the documented
urllib3.disable_warnings() function, but it didn't help. It turns out
that pytest has its own warning handling, so to disable warnings in
pytest we must say so in a special configuration parameter in pytest.ini.
So in this patch, we drop the disable_warnings call from conftest.py
(where it didn't help), and instead put a similar declaration in
pytest.ini. The disable_warnings call in the test/alternator/run
script needs to remain - it is run outside pytest, so pytest.ini
doesn't affect it.
After this patch, running test/alternator/run with --https or --aws
finishes without warnings, as desired.

DynamoDB limits of all expressions (ConditionExpression, UpdateExpression,
ProjectionExpression, FilterExpression, KeyConditionExpression) to just
4096 bytes. Until now, Alternator did not enforce this limit, and we had
an xfailing test showing this.
But it turns out that not enforcing this limit can be dangerous: The user
can pass arbitrarily-long and arbitrarily nested expressions, such as:
a<b and (a<b and (a<b and (a<b and (a<b and (a<b and (...))))))
or
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
and those can cause recursive algorithms in Alternator's parser and
later when applying expressions to recurse very deeply, overflow the
stack, and crash.
This patch includes new tests that demonstrate how Scylla crashes during
parsing before enforcing the 4096-byte length limit on expressions.
The patch then enforces this length limit, and these tests stop crashing.
We also verify that deeply-nested expressions shorter than the 4096-byte
limit are apparently short enough for our recursion ability, and work
as expected.
Unforuntately, running these tests many times showed that the 4096-byte
limit is not low enough to avoid all crashes so this patch needs to do
more:
The parsers created by ANTLR are recursive, and there is no way to limit
the depth of their recursion (i.e., nothing like YACC's YYMAXDEPTH).
Very deep recursion can overflow the stack and crash Scylla. After we
limited the length of expression strings to 4096 bytes this was *almost*
enough to prevent stack overflows. But unfortunetely the tests revealed
that even limited to 4096 bytes, the expression can sometimes recurse
too deeply: Consider the expression "((((((....((((" with 4000 parentheses.
To realize this is a syntax error, the parser needs to do a recursive
call 4000 times. Or worse - because of other Antlr limitations (see rants
in comments in expressions.g) it's actually 12000 recursive calls, and
each of these calls have a pretty large frame. In some cases, this
overflows the stack.
The solution used in this patch is not pretty, but works. We add to rules
in alternator/expressions.g that recurse (there are two of those - "value"
and "boolean_expression") an integer "depth" parameter, which we increase
when the rule recurses. Moreover, we add a so-called predicate
"{depth<MAX_DEPTH}?" that stops the parsing when this limit is reached.
When the parsing is stopped, the user will see a special kind of parse
error, saying "expression nested too deeply".
With this last modification to expressions.g, the tests for deeply-nested but
still-below-4096-bytes expressions
(test_limits.py::test_deeply_nested_expression_*) would not fail sporadically
as they did without it.
While adding the "expression nested too deeply" case, I also made the
general syntax-error reporting in Alternator nicer: It no longer prints
the internal "expression_syntax_error" type name (an exception type will
only be printed if some sort of unexpected exception happens), and it
prints the character position where the syntax error (or too deep
nested expression) was recognized.

Most of the Alternator tests are careful to unconditionally remove the test
tables, even if the test fails. This is important when testing on a shared
database (e.g., DynamoDB) but also useful to make clean shutdown faster
as there should be no user table to flush.
We missed a few such cases in test_gsi.py, and this patch corrects them.
We do this by using the context manager new_test_table() - which
automatically deletes the table when done - instead of the function
create_test_table() which needs an explicit delete at the end.
There are no functional changes in this patch - most of the lines
changed are just reindents.

Add missing validation of the AttributeDefinitions parameter of the
CreateTable operation in Alternator. This validation isn't needed
for correctness or safety - the invalid entries would have been
ignored anyway. But this patch is useful for user-experience - the
user should be notified when the request is malformed instead of
ignoring the error.
The fix itself is simple (a new validate_attribute_definitions()
function, calling it in the right place), but much of the contents
of this patch is a fairly large set of tests covering all the
interesting cases of how AttributeDefinitions can be broken.
Particularly interesting is the case where the same AttributeName
appears more than once, e.g., attempting to give two different types
to the same key attribute - which is not allowed.
One of the new tests remains xfail even after this patch - it checks
the case that a user attempts to add a GSI to an existing table where
another GSI defined the key's type differently. This test can't
succeed until we allow adding GSIs to existing tables (Refs #11567).

The DynamoDB documentation for the size() function claims that it only
works on paths (attribute names or references), but it actually works on
constants from the query (e.g., ":val") as well.
It turns out that Alternator supports this undocumented case already, but
gets the error path wrong: Usually, when size() is calculated on the data,
if the data has the wrong type of size() (e.g., an integer), the condition
simply doesn't match. But if the value comes from the query - it should
generate an error that the query is wrong - ValidationException.
This patch fixes this case, and also adds tests for it that pass on both
DynamoDB and Alternator (after this patch).

The Alternator test test_ttl.py::test_ttl_expiration_gsi_lsi was flaky.
The test incorrectly assumes that when we write an already expired item,
it will be visible for a short time until being deleted by the TTL thread.
But this doesn't need to be true - if the test is slow enough, it may go
look or the item after it was already expired!
So we fix this test by splitting it into two parts - in the first part
we write a non-expiring item, and notice it eventually appears in the
GSI, LSI, and base-table. Then we write the same item again, with an
expiration time - and now it should eventually disappear from the GSI,
LSI and base-table.
This patch also fixes a small bug which prevented this test from running
on DynamoDB.

DynamoDB limits the allowed magnitude and precision of numbers - valid
decimal exponents are between -130 and 125 and up to 38 significant
decimal digitst are allowed. In contrast, Scylla uses the CQL "decimal"
type which offers unlimited precision. This can cause two problems:
1. Users might get used to this "unofficial" feature and start relying
on it, not allowing us to switch to a more efficient limited-precision
implementation later.
2. If huge exponents are allowed, e.g., 1e-1000000, summing such a
number with 1.0 will result in a huge number, huge allocations and
stalls. This is highly undesirable.
After this patch, all tests in test/alternator/test_number.py now
pass. The various failing tests which verify magnitude and precision
limitations in different places (key attributes, non-key attributes,
and arithmetic expressions) now pass - so their "xfail" tags are removed.

As already noted in issue #6794, whereas DynamoDB limits the magnitude
of numbers to between 10^-130 and 10^125, Scylla does not. In this patch
we add yet another test for this problem, but unlike previous tests
which just shown too much magnitude being allowed which always sounded
like a benign problem - the test in this patch shows that this "feature"
can be used to DoS Scylla - a user user can send a short request that
causes arbitrarily-large allocations, stalls and CPU usage.
The test is currently marked "skip" because it cause cause Scylla to
take a very long time and/or run out of memory. It passes on DynamoDB
because the excessive magnitude is simply not allowed there.

Alternator's implementation of TagResource, UntagResource and UpdateTimeToLive (the latter uses tags to store the TTL configuration) was unsafe for concurrent modifications - some of these modifications may be lost. This short series fixes the bug, and also adds (in the last patch) a test that reproduces the bug and verifies that it's fixed.
The cause of the incorrect isolation was that we separately read the old tags and wrote the modified tags. In this series we introduce a new function, `modify_tags()` which can do both under one lock, so concurrent tag operations are serialized and therefore isolated as expected.
Fixes#6389.

This patch adds an Alternator test reproducing issue #6389 - that
concurrent TagResource and/or UntagResource operations was broken and
some of the concurrent modifications were lost.
The test has two threads, one loops adds and removes a tag A, the
other adds and removes a tag B. After we add tag A, we expect tag A
to be there - but due to issue #6389 this modification was sometimes
lost when it raced with an operation on B.
This test consistently failed before issue #6389 was fixed, and passes
now after the issue was fixed by the previous patches. The bug reproduces
by chance, so it requires a fairly long loop (a few seconds) to be sure
it reproduces - so is marked a "veryslow" test and will not run in CI,
but can be used to manually reproduce this issue with:

Before this patch, all scripts which use test/cql-pytest/run.py
looked for the Scylla executable as their first step. This is usually
the right thing to do, except in two cases where Scylla is *not* needed:
1. The script test/cql-pytest/run-cassandra.
2. The script test/alternator/run with the "--aws" option.
So in this patch we change run.py to only look for Scylla when actually
needed (the find_scylla() function is called). In both cases mentioned

The test test_scan.py::test_scan_long_partition_tombstone_string
checks that a full-table Scan operation ends a page in the middle of
a very long string of partition tombstones, and does NOT scan the
entire table in one page (if we did that, getting a single page could
take an unbounded amount of time).
The test is currently flaky, having failed in CI runs three times in
the past two months.
The reason for the flakiness is that we don't know exactly how long
we need to make the sequence of partition tombstones in the test before
we can be absolutely sure a single page will not read this entire sequence.
For single-partition scans we have the "query_tombstone_page_limit"
configuration parameter, which tells us exactly how long we need to
make the sequence of row tombstones. But for a full-table scan of
partition tombstones, the situation is more complicated - because the
scan is done in parallel on several vnodes in parallel and each of
them needs to read query_tombstone_page_limit before it stops.
In my experiments, using query_tombstone_limit * 4 consecutive tombstones
was always enough - I ran this test hundreds of times and it didn't fail
once. But since it did fail on Jenkins very rarely (3 times in the last
two months), maybe the multiplier 4 isn't enough. So this patch doubles
it to 8. Hopefully this would be enough for anyone (TM).
This makes this test even bigger and slower than it was. To make it
faster, I changed this test's write isolation mode from the default
always_use_lwt to forbid_rmw (not use LWT). This leaves the test's
total run time to be similar to what it was before this patch - around
0.5 seconds in dev build mode on my laptop.

In issue #12601, a dtest involving paging of ListStreams showed
incorrect results - the paged results had one duplicate stream and one
missing stream. We believe that the cause of this bug was that the
unsorted map of tables can change order between pages. In this patch
we add a test test_list_streams_paged_with_new_table which can
demonstrate this bug - by adding a lot of tables in mid-paging, we
cause the unsorted map to be reshufled and the paging to break.
This is not the same situation as in #12601 (which did not involve
new tables) but we believe it demonstrates the same bug - and check
its fix. Indeed this passes with the fix in pull request #12614 and
fails without it.
This patch also adds a second test, test_stream_arn_unchanging:
That test eliminates a guess we had for the cause of #12601. We
thought that maybe stream ARN changing on a table if its schema
version changes, but the new test confirms that it actually behaves
as expected (the stream ARN doesn't change).

Issue #12538 suggested that maybe Alternator shouldn't bother reporting an

to report that the table doesn't exist. But the test added in this patch
shows that DynamoDB, like Alternator, reports the invalid table name in
this case - not just that the table doesn't exist.

DynamoDB Streams limits the "Limit" parameter of ListStreams to 100 -
anything larger will result in an error. Scylla doesn't necessarily
need to uphold the same limit, but we should uphold *some* limit, as
not having any limit can result (in the theoretical case of a huge
number of tables with streams enabled) in an unbounded response size.
So here we add a test to check that a Limit of 100,000 is not allowed.
It passes on DynamoDB (in fact, any number higher than 100 will be
enough threre) but fails on Alternator, so is marked "xfail".

We had a skipped test on how Alternator handles Limit=0 for ListStreams
which should be reported as an error. We had to skip it because boto3

it to the server. We discovered long ago how to avoid this client-side
checking in boto3, but only used it for the "dynamodb" fixture and
forgot to copy the same trick to the "dynamodbstreams" fixture - and
in this patch we do, and can run this test successfully.

data
We'll try to distinguish the case when data comes from the storage rather
than user reuqest. Such attribute can be used in expressions and
when it can't be decoded it should make expression evaluate as
false to simply exclude the row during filter query or scan.
Note that this change focuses on binary type, for other types we
may have some inconsistencies in the implementation.
We already fixed the case of missing padding but there is also
more generic one where input for decode function contains non
base64 characters.
This is mostly done for alternator purpose, it should discard
the request containing such data and return 400 http error.
Addionally some harmless integer overflow during integer casting
was fixed here. This was attempted to be fixed by 2d33a3f
but since we also implicitly cast to uint8_t the problem persisted.
This is done to make alternator behavior more on a pair with dynamodb.
Decode function is used there when processing user requests containing binary
item values. We will now discard improperly formed user input with 400 http error.
It also makes it more consistent as some of our other base64 functions
may have assumed padding is present.
The patch should not break other usages of base64 functions as the only one is
in db/hints where the code already throws std::runtime_error.

Unlike other experimental feature we want to raft to be optional even
after it leaves experimental mode. For that we need to have a separate
option to enable it. The patch adds the binary option "consistent-cluster-management"
for that.
In the past we had issue #7933 where very long strings of consecutive
tombstones caused Alternator's paging to take an unbounded amount of
time and/or memory for a single page. This issue was fixed (by commit
e9cbc9ee85) but the two tests we had
reproducing that issue were left with the "xfail" mark.
They were also marked "veryslow" - each taking about 100 seconds - so
they didn't run by default so nobody noticed they started to pass.
In this patch I make these tests much faster (taking less than a second
together), confirm that they pass - and remove the "xfail" mark and
improve their descriptions.
The trick to making these tests faster is to not create a million
tombstones like we used to: We now know that after string of just 10,000
tombstones ('query_tombstone_page_limit') the page should end, so
we can check specifically this number. The story is more complicated for
partition tombstones, but there too it should be a multiple of
query_tombstone_page_limit. To make the tests even faster, we change
run.py to lower the query_tombstone_page_limit from the default 10,000
to 1000. The tests work correctly even without this change, but they are
ten times faster with it.

Some of the tests in test/alternator/test_ttl.py need an expiration scan
pass to complete and expire items. In development builds on developer
machines, this usually takes less than a second (our scanning period is
set to half a second). However, in debug builds on Jenkins each scan
often takes up to 100 (!) seconds (this is the record we've seen so far).
This is why we set the tests' timeout to 120.
But recently we saw another test run failing. I think the problem is
that in some case, we need not one, but *two* scanning passes to
complete before the timeout: It is possible that the test writes an
item right after the current scan passed it, so it doesn't get expired,
and then we a second scan at a random position, possibly making that
item we mention one of the last items to be considered - so in total
we need to wait for two scanning periods, not one, for the item to
expire.
So this patch increases the timeout from 120 seconds to 240 seconds -
more than twice the highest scanning time we ever saw (100 seconds).
Note that this timeout is just a timeout, it's not the typical test
run time: The test can finish much more quickly, as little as one
second, if items expire quickly on a fast build and machine.

Until now, the Alternator TTL feature was considered "experimental",
and had to be manually enabled on all nodes of the cluster to be usable.
This patch removes this requirement and in essence GAs this feature.
Even after this patch, Alternator TTL is still a "cluster feature",
i.e., for this feature to be usable every node in the cluster needs
to support it. If any of the nodes is old and does not yet support this
feature, the UpdateTimeToLive request will not be accepted, so although
the expiration-scanning threads may exist on the newer nodes, they will
not do anything because none of the tables can be marked as having
expiration enabled.
This patch does not contain documentation fixes - the documentation
still suggests that the Alternator TTL feature is experimental.

Otherwise I think assert is not executed in a loop. And I am not sure why lsi variable can be bound

This bug doesn't manifest in a visible way to the user.
Adding the index to an existing table via GlobalSecondaryIndexUpdates is not supported
so we don't need to consider what could happen for empty values of index range key.
After the index is added the only interesting value user can set is omitting
the value (null or empty are not allowed, see test_gsi_empty_value and
test_gsi_null_value).
In practice no matter of 'where' condition the underlaying materialized
view code is skipping row updates with missing keys as per this comment:
'If one of the key columns is missing, set has_new_row = false
meaning that after the update there will be no view row'.
Thats why the added test passes both before and after the patch.
But it's still usefull to include it to exercise those code paths.

We had an xfailing test that reproduced a case where Alternator tried
to report an error when the request was too long, but the boto library
didn't see this error and threw a "Broken Pipe" error instead. It turns
out that this wasn't a Scylla bug but rather a bug in urllib3, which
overzealously reported a "Broken Pipe" instead of trying to read the
server's response. It turns out this issue was already fixed in

As described in issue #11801, we saw in Alternator when a GSI has both partition and sort keys which were non-key attributes in the base, cases where updating the GSI-sort-key attribute to the same value it already had caused the entire GSI row to be deleted.
In this series fix this bug (it was a bug in our materialized views implementation) and add a reproducing test (plus a few more tests for similar situations which worked before the patch, and continue to work after it).
