Fixes#13332
The tests user the discriminator "system" as prefix to assume keyspaces are marked
"internal" inside scylla. This is not true in enterprise universe (replicated key
provider). It maybe/probably should, but that train is sailing right now.
Fix by removing one assert (not correct) and use actual API info in the alternator
test.
Closes#13333
Instead of lengthy blurbs, switch to single-line, machine-readable
standardized (https://spdx.dev) license identifiers. The Linux kernel
switched long ago, so there is strong precedent.
Three cases are handled: AGPL-only, Apache-only, and dual licensed.
For the latter case, I chose (AGPL-3.0-or-later and Apache-2.0),
reasoning that our changes are extensive enough to apply our license.
The changes we applied mechanically with a script, except to
licenses/README.md.
Closes#9937
The test test_fetch_from_system_tables tests Alternator's system-table
feature by reading from all system tables. The intention was to confirm
we don't crash reading any of them - as they have different schemas and
can run into different problems (we had such problems in the initial
implementation). The intention was not to read *a lot* from each table -
we only make a single "Scan" call on each, to read one page of data.
However, the Scan call did not set a Limit, so the single page can get
pretty big.
This is not normally a problem, but in extremely slow runs - such as when
running the debug build on an extremely overcommitted test machine (e.g.,
issue #7706) reading this large page may take longer than our default
timeout. I'll send a separate patch for the timeout issue, but for now,
there is really no reason why we need to read a big page. It is good
enough to just read 50 rows (with Limit=50). This will still read all
the different types and make the test faster.
As an example, in the debug run on my laptop, this test spent 2.4
seconds to read the "compaction_history" table before this patch,
and only 0.1 seconds after this patch. 2.4 seconds is close to our
default timeout (10 seconds), 0.1 is very far.
Fixes#7706

Merged patch series from Piotr Sarna:
This series allows reading rows from Scylla's system tables
via alternator by using a virtual interface.
If a Query or Scan request intercepts a table name with the following
pattern: .scylla.alternator.KEYSPACE_NAME.TABLE_NAME, it will read
the data from Scylla's KEYSPACE_NAME.TABLE_NAME table.
The interface is expected to only return data for Scylla system tables
and trying to access regular tables via this interface is expected
to return an error.
This series comes with tests (alternator-test, scylla_only).
Fixes#6122
Tests: alternator-test(local,remote (to verify that scylla_only works)
Piotr Sarna (5):
alternator: add fallback serialization for all types
alternator: add fetching static columns if they exist
alternator: add a way of accessing system tables from alternator
alternator-test: add scylla-only test for querying system tables
docs: add an entry about accessing Scylla system tables
