This patch converts (for very small value of 'converts') some
replication related classes. Only static topology is supported (it is
created in keyspace::create_replication_strategy()). During mutation
no replication is done, since messaging service is not ready yet,
only endpoints are calculated.
* database now holds all keyspace + column family object
* column families are mapped by uuid, either generated or explicit
* lookup by name tuples or uuid
* finder functions now return refs + throws on missing obj
Holding keys and their prefixes as "bytes" is error prone. It's easy
to mix them up (or use wrong types). This change adds wrappers for
keys with accessors which are meant to make misuses as difficult as
possible.
Prefix and full keys are now distinguished. Places which assumed that
the representation is the same (it currently is) were changed not to
do so. This will allow us to introduce more compact storage for non-prefix
keys.
Add database::shard_of() to compute the shard hosting the partition
(with a simplistic algorithm, but perhaps not too bad).
Convert non-metadata invoke_on_all() and local calls on the database
to use shard_of().
s/database/distributed<database>/ everywhere.
Use simple distribution rules: writes are broadcast, reads are local.
This causes tremendous data duplication, but will change soon.
With replication, we want the contents of the mutation to be available
to multiple replicas.
(In this context, we will replicate the mutation to all shards in the same
node, as a temporary step in sharding a node; but the issue also occurs
when replicating to other nodes).
