reclaim_timer uses a coarse clock, but does not account for
the measurement error introduced by that -- it can falsely
report reclaims as stalls, even if they are shorter by a full
coarse clock tick from the requested threshold
(blocked-reactor-notify-ms).
Notably, if the stall threshold happens to be smaller or equal to coarse
clock resolution, Scylla's log gets spammed with false stall reports.
The resolution of coarse clocks in Linux is 1/CONFIG_HZ. This is
typically equal to 1 ms or 4 ms, and stall thresholds of this order
can occur in practice.
Eliminate false positives by requiring the measured reclaim duration to
be at least 1 clock tick longer than the configured threshold for it to
be considered a stall.

Tools want to be as little disrupting to the environment they run in as possible, because they might be run in a production environment, next to a running scylladb production server. As such, the usual behavior of seastar applications w.r.t. memory is an anti-pattern for tools: they don't want to reserve most of the system memory, in fact they don't want to reserve any amount, instead consuming as much as needed on-demand.
To achieve this, tools want to use the standard allocator. To achieve this they need a seastar option to to instruct seastar to *not* configure and use the seastar allocator and they need LSA to cooperate with the standard allocator.
The former is provided by https://github.com/scylladb/seastar/pull/1211.
The latter is solved by introducing the concept of a `segment_store_backend`, which abstracts away how the memory arena for segments is acquired and managed. We then refactor the existing segment store so that the seastar allocator specific parts are moved to an implementation of this backend concept, then we introduce another backend implementation appropriate to the standard allocator.
Finally, tools configure seastar with the newly introduced option to use the standard allocator and similarly configure LSA to use the standard allocator appropriate backend.

Scylla's Bloom filter implementation has a minimal false-positive rate
that it can support (6.71e-5). When setting bloom_filter_fp_chance any
lower than that, the compute_bloom_spec() function, which writes the bloom
filter, throws an exception. However, this is too late - it only happens
while flushing the memtable to disk, and a failure at that point causes
Scylla to crash.
Instead, we should refuse the table creation with the unsupported
bloom_filter_fp_chance. This is also what Cassandra did six years ago -
see CASSANDRA-11920.
This patch also includes a regression test, which crashes Scylla before
this patch but passes after the patch (and also passes on Cassandra).

Creating a standard-memory-allocator backend for the segment store.
This is targeted towards tools, which want to configure LSA with a
segment store backend that is appropriate for the standard allocator
(which they want to use).
We want to be able to use this in both release and debug mode. The
former will be used by tools and the latter will be used to run the
logalloc tests with this new backend, making sure it works and doesn't
regress. For this latter, we have to allow the release and debug stores
to coexist in the same build and for the debug store to be able to
delegate to the release store when the standard allocator backend is
used.
Rebase the seastar allocator based segment store implementation on the
recently introduced segment store backend which is now abstracts away
how memory for segments is obtained.
This patch also introduces an explicit `segment_npos` to be used for
cases when a segment -> index mapping fails (segment doesn't belong to
the store). Currently the seastar allocator based store simply doesn't
handle this case, while the standard allocator based store uses 0 as the
implicit invalid index.
We want to make it possible to select the segment-store to be used for
LSA -- the seastar allocator based one or the standard allocator based
on -- at runtime. Currently this choice is made at compile time via
preprocessor switches.
The current standard memory based store is specialized for debug build,
we want something more similar to the seastar standard memory allocator
based one. So we introduce a segment store backend for the current
seastar allocator based store, which abstracts how the backing memory
for all segments is allocated/freed, while keeping the segment <-> index
mapping common. In the next patches we will rebase the current seastar
allocator based segment store on this backend and later introduce
another backend for standard allocator, targeted for release builds.
Currently the actual alloc/dealloc of memory for segments is located
outside the segment stores. We want to abstract away how segments are
allocated, so we move this logic too into the segment store. For now
this results in duplicate code in the two segment store implementations,
but this will soon be gone.
When cross-shard barrier is abort()-ed it spawns a background fiber
that will wake-up other shards (if they are sleeping) with exception.
This fiber is implicitly waited by the owning sharded service .stop,
because barrier usage is like this:
sharded<service> s;
co_await s.invoke_on_all([] {
...
barrier.abort();
});
...
co_await s.stop();
If abort happens, the invoke_on_all() will only resolve _after_ it
queues up the waking lambdas into smp queues, thus the subseqent stop
will queue its stopping lambdas after barrier's ones.
However, in debug mode the queue can be shuffled, so the owning service
can suddenly be freed from under the barrier's feet causing use after
free. Fortunately, this can be easily fixed by capturing the shared
pointer on the shared barrier instead of a regular pointer on the
shard-local barrier.

The logger is proof against allocation failures, except if
--abort-on-seastar-bad-alloc is specified. If it is, it will crash.
The reclaim stall report is likely to be called in low memory conditions
(reclaim's job is to alleviate these conditions after all), so we're
likely to crash here if we're reclaiming a very low memory condition
and have a large stall simultaneously (AND we're running in a debug
environment).
Prevent all this by disabling --abort-on-seastar-bad-alloc temporarily.

Option names given in db/config.cc are handled for the command line by passing
them to boost::program_options, and by YAML by comparing them with YAML
keys.
boost::program_options has logic for understanding the
long_name,short_name syntax, so for a "workdir,W" option both --workdir and -W
worked, as intended. But our YAML config parsing doesn't have this logic
and expected "workdir,W" verbatim, which is obviously not intended. Fix that.

We want to consolidate all the logalloc state into a single object: the
shard tracker. Replacing this global with a member in said object is
part of this effort.
These are pretend free functions, accessing globals in the background,
make them a member of the tracker instead, which everything needed
locally to compute them. Callers still have to access these stats
through the global tracker instance, but this can be changed to happen
through a local instance. Soon....
Instead, get the tracker instance from the region. This requires adding
a `region&` parameter to `with_reserve()`.
This brings us one step closer to eliminating the global tracker.
Instead of a separate global segment pool instance, make it a member of
the already global tracker. Most users are inside the tracker instance
anyway. Outside users can access the pool through the global tracker
instance.
For now this member is initialized from the global tracker instance. But
it allows the members of region impl to be detached from said global,
making a step towards removing it.
segment has some members, which simply forward the call to a
segment_pool method, via the global segment_pool instance. Remove these
and make the callers use the segment pool directly instead.
This series converts the synchronous `effective_replication_map::get_range_addresses` to async
by calling the replication strategy async entry point with the same name, as its callers are already async
or can be made so easily.
To allow it to yield and work on a coherent view of the token_metadata / topology / replication_map,
let the callers of this patch hold a effective_replication_map per keyspace and pass it down
to the (now asynchronous) functions that use it (making affected storage_service methods static where possible
if they no longer depend on the storage_service instance).
Also, the repeated calls to everywhere_replication_strategy::calculate_natural_endpoints
are optimized in this series by introducing a virtual abstract_replication_strategy::has_static_natural_endpoints predicate
that is true for local_strategy and everywhere_replication_strategy, and is false otherwise.
With it, functions repeatedly calling calculate_natural_endpoints in a loop, for every token, will call it only once since it will return the same result every time anyhow.

Range tombstones are kept in memory (cache/memtable) in
range_tombstone_list. It keeps them deoverlapped, so applying a range
tombstone which covers many range tombstones will erase existing range
tombstones from the list. This operation needs to be exception-safe,
so range_tombstone_list maintains an undo log. This undo log will
receive a record for each range tombstone which is removed. For
exception safety reasons, before pushing an undo log entry, we reserve
space in the log by calling std::vector::reserve(size() + 1). This is
O(N) where N is the number of undo log entries. Therefore, the whole
application is O(N^2).
This can cause reactor stalls and availability issues when replicas
apply such deletions.
This patch avoids the problem by reserving exponentially increasing
amount of space. Also, to avoid large allocations, switches the
container to chunked_vector.

This series is the first step in the effort to reduce the number of metrics reported by Scylla.
The series focuses on the per-table metrics.
The combination of histograms, per-tables, and per shard makes the number of metrics in a cluster explode.
The following series uses multiple tools to reduce the number of metrics.
1. Multiple metrics should only be reported for the user tables and the condition that checked it was not updated when more non-user keyspaces were added.
2. Second, instead of a histogram, per table, per shard, it will report a summary per table, per shard, and a single histogram per node.
3. Histograms, summaries, and counters will be reported only if they are used (for example, the cas-related metrics will not be reported for tables that are not using cas).

Currently, there are two metrics reporting mechanisms: the metrics layer
and the API. In most cases, they use the same data sources. The main
difference is around histograms and rate.
The API calculates an exponentially weighted moving average using a
timer that decays the average on each time tick. It calculates a
poor-man histogram by holding the last few entries (typically the last
256 entries). The caller to the API uses those last entries to build a
histogram.
We want to add summaries to Scylla. Similar to the API rate and
histogram, summaries are calculated per time interval.
This patch creates a unified mechanism by introducing an object that
would hold both the old-style histogram and the new
(estimated_histogram). On each time tick, a summary would be calculated.
In the future, we'll replace the API to report summaries instead of the
old-style histogram and deprecate the old style completely.
summary_calculator uses two estimated_histogram to calculate a summary.
timed_rate_moving_average_summary_and_histogram is a unifed class for
ihistogram, rates, summary, and estimated_histogram and will replace
timed_rate_moving_average_and_histogram.
Follow-up patches would move code from using
timed_rate_moving_average_and_histogram to
timed_rate_moving_average_summary_and_histogram. By keeping the API it
would make the transition easy.
