Replace the physical system.large_partitions, system.large_rows, and
system.large_cells CQL tables with virtual tables that read from
LargeDataRecords stored in SSTable scylla metadata (tag 13).
The transition is gated by a new LARGE_DATA_VIRTUAL_TABLES cluster
feature flag:
- Before the feature is enabled: the old physical tables remain in
all_tables(), CQL writes are active, no virtual tables are registered.
This ensures safe rollback during rolling upgrades.
- After the feature is enabled: old physical tables are dropped from
disk via legacy_drop_table_on_all_shards(), virtual tables are
registered on all shards, and CQL writes are skipped via
skip_cql_writes() in cql_table_large_data_handler.
Key implementation details:
- Three virtual table classes (large_partitions_virtual_table,
large_rows_virtual_table, large_cells_virtual_table) extend
streaming_virtual_table with cross-shard record collection.
- generate_legacy_id() gains a version parameter; virtual tables
use version 1 to get different UUIDs than the old physical tables.
- compaction_time is derived from SSTable generation UUID at display
time via UUID_gen::unix_timestamp().
- Legacy SSTables without LargeDataRecords emit synthetic summary
rows based on above_threshold > 0 in LargeDataStats.
- The activation logic uses two paths: when the feature is already
enabled (test env, restart), it runs as a coroutine; when not yet
enabled, it registers a when_enabled callback that runs inside
seastar::async from feature_service::enable().
- sstable_3_x_test updated to use a simplified large_data_test_handler
and validate LargeDataRecords in SSTable metadata directly.
There are several reasons we want to do that.
One is that it will give us more flexibility in distributing the
load. We can subdivide tablets at any token, and achieve more
evenly-sized tablets. In particular, we can isolate large partitions
into separate tablets.
We can also split and merge incrementally individual tablets.
Currently, we do it for the whole table or nothing, which makes
splits and merges take longer and cause wide swings of the count.
This is not implemented in this PR yet, we still split/merge the whole table.
Another reason is vnode to tablets migration. We now could construct a
tablet map which matches exactly the vnode boundaries, so migration
can happen transparently from CQL-coordinator point of view.
Tablet count is still a power-of-two by default for newly created tables.
It may be different if tablet map is created by non-standard means,
or if per-table tablet option "pow2_count" is set to "false".

There are several reasons we want to do that.
One is that it will give us more flexibility in distributing the
load. We can subdivide tablets at any points, and achieve more
evenly-sized tablets. In particular, we can isolate large partitions
into separate tablets.
Another reason is vnode-to-tablet migration. We could construct a
tablet map which matches exactly the vnode boundaries, so migration
can happen transparently from the CQL-coordinator's point of view.
Implementation details:
We store a vector of tokens which represent tablet boundaries in the
tablet_id_map. tablet_id keeps its meaning, it's an index into vector
of tablets. To avoid logarithmic lookup of tablet_id from the token,
we introduce a lookup structure with power-of-two aligned buckets, and
store the tablet_id of the tablet which owns the first token in the
bucket. This way, lookup needs to consider tablet id range which
overlaps with one bucket. If boundaries are more or less aligned,
there are around 1-2 tablets overlapping with a bucket, and the lookup
is still O(1).
Amount of memory used increased, but not significantly relative to old
size (because tablet_info is currently fat):

In commit 727f68e0f5 we added the ability to SELECT:
* Individual elements of a map: `SELECT map_col[key]`.
* Individual elements of a set: `SELECT set_col[key]` returns key if the key exists in the set, or null if it doesn't, allowing to check if the element exists in the set.
* Individual pieces of a UDT: `SELECT udt_col.field`.
But at the time, we didn't provide any way to retrieve the **meta-data** for this value, namely its timestamp and TTL. We did not support `SELECT TIMESTAMP(collection[key])`, or `SELECT TIMESTAMP(udt.field)`.
Users requested to support such SELECTs in the past (see issue #15427), and Cassandra 5.0 added support for this feature - for both maps and sets and udts - so we also need this feature for compatibility. This feature was also requested recently by vector-search developers, who wanted to read Alternator columns - stored as map elements, not individual columns - with their WRITETIME information.
The first four patches in this series adds the feature (in four smaller patches instead one big one), the fifth and sixth patches add tests (cqlpy and boost tests, respectively). The seventh patch adds documentation.
All the new tests pass on Cassandra 5, failed on Scylla before the present fix, and pass with it.
The fix was surprisingly difficult. Our existing implementation (from 727f68e0f5 building on earlier machinery) doesn't just "read" `map_col[key]` and allow us to return just its timestamp. Rather, the implementation reads the entire map, serializes it in some temporary format that does **not** include the timestamps and ttls, and then takes the subscript key, at which point we no longer have the timestamp or ttl of the element. So the fix had to cross all these layers of the implementation.
While adding support for UDT fields in a pre-existing grammar nonterminal "subscriptExpr", we unintentionally added support for UDT fields also in LWT expressions (which used this nonterminal). LWT missing support for UDT fields was a long-time known compatibility issue (#13624) so we unintentionally fixed it :-) Actually, to completely fix it we needed another small change in the expression implementation, so the eighth patch in this series does this.

3f7ee3ce5d introduced system.batchlog_v2, with a schema designed to speed up batchlog replays and make post-replay cleanups much more effective.
It did not introduce a cluster feature for the new table, because it is node local table, so the cluster can switch to the new table gradually, one node at a time.
However, https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/27886 showed that the switching causes timeouts during upgrades, in mixed clusters. Furthermore, switching to the new table unconditionally on upgrades nodes, means that on rollback, the batches saved into the v2 table are lost.
This PR introduces re-introduces v1 (`system.batchlog`) support and guards the use of the v2 table with a cluster feature, so mixed clusters keep using v1 and thus be rollback-compatible.
The re-introduced v1 support doesn't support post-replay cleanups for simplicity. The cleanup in v1 was never particularly effective anyway and we ended up disabling it for heavy batchlog users, so I don't think the lack of support for cleanup is a problem.

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.

This patch adds a new cluster feature "CQL_ROW_TTL", for the new CQL
per-row TTL feature.
With this patch, this node reports supporting this feature, but the CQL
per-row TTL feature can only be used once all the nodes in the cluster
supports the feature. In other words, user requests to enable per-row TTL
on a table should check this feature flag (on the whole cluster) before
proceeding.
This is needed because the implementation of the per-row-TTL expiration
requires the cooperation of all nodes to participate in scanning for
expired items, so the feature can't be trusted until all nodes participate
in it.

When running unit tests, there's a visible ~1-second sleep
when gossip exits the failure detector loop.
Improve this by adding a condition variable for exiting the loop
and signaling it when any of the exit conditions are satisfied:
the abort_source is pulled, the gossiper is shut down, or the sleep
is complete. We can't just use the abort_source because gossip can be
shut down independently of the rest of the system.
To see the improvement, I ran cql_query_test in dev mode:
Before:
$ time ./build/dev/test/boost/combined_tests -t cql_query_test -- --smp 2 > /dev/null 2>&1

of launching pytest for each test case.

Yet another barrier-failure scenario exists in the `write_both_read_new`
state. When the barrier fails, the tablet is expected to transition
to `cleanup_target`, but because barrier execution is asynchronous,
the cleanup transition can be skipped entirely and the tablet may
continue forward instead.
Both `write_both_read_new` and `cleanup_target` modify read and write
selectors. In this situation, a barrier is required, and transitioning
directly between these states without one is unsafe.
Introduce an intermediate `write_both_read_old_fallback_cleanup`
state that modifies only a read selector and can be entered without
a barrier (there is no need to wait for all nodes to start using the
"new" read selector). From there, the tablet can proceed to `cleanup_target`,
where the required barriers are enforced.
This also avoids changing both selectors in a single step. A direct
transition from `write_both_read_new` to `cleanup_target` updates
both selectors at once, which can leave coordinators using the old
selector for writes and the new selector for reads, causing reads to
miss preceding writes.
By routing through the fallback state, selectors are updated in
order—read first, then write—preserving read-after-write correctness.
Allows other topology operations to execute while tablets are being
drained on decommission. In particular, bootstrap on scale-out. This
is important for elasticity.
Allows multiple decommission/removenode to happen in parallel, which
is important for efficiency.
Flow of decommission/removenode request:
1) pending and paused, has tablet replicas on target node.
Tablet scheduler will start draining tablets.
2) No tablets on target node, request is pending but not paused
3) Request is scheduled, node is in transition
4) Request is done
Nodes are considered draining as soon as there is a leave or remove
request on them. If there are tablet replicas present on the target
node, the request is in a paused state and will not be picked by
topology coordinator. The paused state is computed from topology state
automatically on reload.
When request is not paused, its execution starts in
write_both_read_old state. The old tablet_draining state is not
entered (it's deprecated now).
Tablet load balancing will yield the state machine as soon as some
request is no longer paused and ready to be scheduled, based on
standard preemption mechanics.
