Introduced a new max_tablet_count tablet option that caps the maximum number of tablets a table can have. This feature is designed primarily for backup and restore workflows.
During backup, when load balancing is disabled for snapshot consistency, the current tablet count is recorded in the backup manifest.
During restore, max_tablet_count is set to this recorded value, ensuring the restored table's tablet count never exceeds the original snapshot's tablet distribution.
This guarantee enables efficient file-based SSTable streaming during restore, as each SSTable remains fully contained within a single tablet boundary.

https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/pull/25746 added a new column to `system.clients`: `client_options frozen<map<text, text>>`. This column stores all options sent by the client in the `STARTUP` message.
This PR also added `CLIENT_OPTIONS` to the list of values sent in `SUPPORTED` message, and documented that drivers can send their configuration (as JSON) in `STARTUP` under this key.
Documentation for the new column was not added to the description of `system.clients` table, and documentation about the new `STARTUP` key was added in `protocol-extensions.md`, but in the section about shard awareness extension.
This PR adds missing `system.clients` column description, moves the documentation of `CLIENT_OPTIONS` into its own section, and expands it a bit.
Backport: none, because this fixes internal documentation.

This commit replaces the previous approach of running pytest inside
GDB’s Python interpreter. Instead, tests are executed by driving a
persistent GDB process externally using pexpect.
- pexpect: Python library for controlling interactive programs
(used here to send commands to GDB and capture its output)
- persistent GDB: keep one GDB session alive across multiple tests
instead of starting a new process for each test
Tests can now be executed via `./test.py gdb` or with
`pytest test/scylla_gdb`. This improves performance and
makes failures easier to debug since pytest no longer runs
hidden inside GDB subprocesses.

A permit gets into the preemptive_aborted state when:
- times out;
- gets rejected from execution due to high chance its execution would
not finalize on time;
Being in this state means a permit was removed from the wait list,
its internal timer was canceled and semaphore's statistic
`total_reads_shed_due_to_overload` increased.
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.

Add a table member to manifest.json with the keyspace_name,
table_name, table_id, tablets_type, and, for tablets-enabled tables, get
tablet_count on each shard and write the minimum to manifest.json.
For vnodes-based tables, tablet_count=0.
For now, `tablets_type` may be either `none` for vnodes tables, or
`powof2` for tablets tables. In the future, when we support arbitrary
tablt boundaries, this will be reflected here, and it is likely we
would backup the whole tablets map sperately to get all tablet boundaries.

This is 2nd attempt, previous one (#27360) was reverted because it reported endpoint configs in new format via API and CQL always, even if the endpoint was configured in the old way. This "broke" scylla manager and some dtests. This version has this bug fixed, and endpoints are reported in the same format as they were configured with.
About correctness of the changes.
No modifications to existing tests are made here, so old format is respected correctly (as far as it's covered by tests). To prove the new format works the the test_get_object_store_endpoints is extended to validate both options. Some preparations to this test to make this happen come on their own with the PR #28111 to show that they are valid and pass before changing the core code.
Enhancing the way configuration is made, likely no need to backport.

This will move responsibility for running tests with pytest in the same manner as it was done with boost tests. From this commit, test.py is not responsible anymore for running python tests and relies completely on pytest.
This is another step for unification of test execution.
Convert skip_mode function to `pytest.mark` to be able to use to annotate the whole module instead of each test explicitly.

This PR will increase the amount of the tests by 30 test, due to the fact that how test.py and pytest discover tests. test.py count a file as a test, and when skip used in suite.yaml it will exclude the tests from discovery completely.
While the pytest count test funstion as a test and uses skip_mode mark and will discover the tests, but it will skip them during execution, hence the difference

This changes introduces tablet size based load balancing. It is an
extension of capacity based balancing with the addition of actual tablet
sizes.
It computes the difference between the most and least loaded nodes in
the DC and stops further balancing if this difference is bellow the
config option size_based_balance_threshold_percentage.
This config option does not apply to the absolute load, but instead to
the percentage of how much the most loaded node is more loaded than the
least loaded node:
delta = (most_loaded - least_loaded) / most_loaded
If this delta is smaller then the config threshold, the balancer will
consider the nodes balanced.

This pull request introduces a new caching mechanism for client options in the Alternator and transport layers, refactors how client metadata is stored and accessed, and extends the `system.clients` virtual table to surface richer client information. The changes improve efficiency by deduplicating commonly used strings (like driver names/versions and client options), and ensure that client data is handled in a way that's safe for cross-shard access. Additionally, the test suite and virtual table schema are updated to reflect the new client options data.
**Caching and client metadata refactoring:**
* The largest and most repeatable items in the connection state before this PR were a `driver_name` and a `driver_version` which were stored as an `sstring` object which means that the corresponding memory consumption was 16 bytes per each such value at least (the smallest size of the `seastar`'s `sstring` object) **per-connection**. In reality the driver name is usually longer than 15 characters, e.g. "ScyllaDB Python Driver" is 23 characters and this is not the longest driver name there is. In such cases the actual memory usage of a corresponding `sstring` object jumps to 8 + 4 + 1 + (string length, 23 in our example) + 1.
So, for "ScyllaDB Python Driver" it would be 37 bytes (in reality it would be a bit more due to natural alignment of other allocations since the `contents` size is not well aligned (13 bytes), but let's ignore this for now).
* These bytes add up quickly as there are more connections and, sometimes we are talking about millions of connections per-shard.
* Using a smart pointer (`lw_shared_ptr`) referencing a corresponding cached value will effectively reduce the per-connection memory usage to be 8 bytes (a size of a pointer on 64-bit CPU platform) for each such value. While storing a corresponding `sstring` value only once.
* This will would reduce the "variable" (per-connection) memory usage by **at least 50%**. And in case of "ScyllaDB Python Driver" driver version - by 78%!
* And all this for a price of a single `loading_shared_values` object **per-shard** (implements a hash table) and a minor overhead for each value **stored** in it.
* Introduced a new cache type (`client_options_cache_type`) for deduplicating and sharing client option strings, and refactored `client_data`, `client_state`, and related classes to use `foreign_ptr<std::unique_ptr<client_data>>` and cached entry types for fields like driver name, driver version, and client options.

Declare support for a 'CLIENT_OPTIONS' startup key.
This key is meant to be used by drivers for sending client-specific
configurations like request timeouts values, retry policy configuration, etc.
The value of this key can be any string in general (according to the CQL binary protocol),
however, it's expected to be some structured format, e.g. JSON.

Make the removenode operation go through the `left_token_ring` state,
similar to decommission. This ensures that when removenode completes,
all nodes in the cluster are aware of the topology change through a
global token metadata barrier.
Previously, removenode would skip the `left_token_ring` state and go
directly from `write_both_read_new` to `left` state. This meant that
when the operation completed, some nodes might not yet know about the
topology change, potentially causing issues with subsequent data plane
requests.
Key changes:
- Both decommission and removenode now transition to `left_token_ring`
state in the `write_both_read_new` handler
- In `left_token_ring` state, only decommissioning nodes receive the
shutdown RPC (removed nodes may already be dead)
- Updated documentation to reflect that both operations use this state
This change improves consistency guarantees for removenode operations
by ensuring cluster-wide awareness before completion.
Fixes: scylladb/scylladb#25530
Previously, the view building coordinator relied on setting each task's state to STARTED and then explicitly removing these state entries once tasks finished, before scheduling new ones. This approach induced a significant number of group0 commits, particularly in large clusters with many nodes and tablets, negatively impacting performance and scalability.
With the update, the coordinator and worker logic has been restructured to operate without maintaining per-task states. Instead, tasks are simply tracked with an aborted boolean flag, which is still essential for certain tablet operations. This change removes much of the coordination complexity, simplifies the view building code, and reduces operational overhead.
In addition, the coordinator now batches reports of finished tasks before making commits. Rather than committing task completions individually, it aggregates them and reports in groups, significantly minimizing the frequency of group0 commits. This new approach is expected to improve efficiency and scalability during materialized view construction, especially in large deployments.

When migrating tablet size during the end_migration tablet transition stage, we need the pending and leaving replica hosts. The leaving and pending replicas are gathered in objects of type std::optional<tablet_replica> and are not checked if they contain a value before dereferencing which could cause an exception in the topology coordinator.
This patch adds a check for leaving and pending replicas, and only performs the tablet size migration if neither are empty.
This bug was introduced in 10f07fb95a
This change also adds the ability to create a tablet size in load_stats during end_migration stage of a tablet rebuild. We compute the new tablet size from by averaging the tablet sizes of the existing replicas.
This change also adds the virtual table tablet_sizes which contains tablet sizes of all the replicas of all the tablets in the cluster.
A version containing this bug has not yet been released, so a backport is not needed.

Add documentation for the quarantine/ subdirectory that holds SSTables
isolated due to validation failures or corruption. Document the scrub
operation's quarantine_mode parameter options and the drop_quarantined_sstables
API operation.
Also update the directory hierarchy example to include the quarantine directory.

Add a table name to Alternator's tracing output, as some clients would
like to consistently receive this information.
- add missing `tracing::add_table_name` in `executor::scan`
- add emiting tables' names in `trace_state::build_parameters_map`
- update tests, so when tracing is looked for it is filtered by table's
name, which confirms table is being outputed.
- change `struct one_session_records` declaration to `class one_session_records`,
as `one_session_records` is later defined as class.

The updates include:
- adding missing parts like topology states and table rows,
- documenting zero-token nodes,
- replacing the old recovery procedure with the new one.
Fixes#26412
Updates of internal docs (usually read on master) don't require
backporting.
