It should be possible to return the similarity of vectors in CQL statements following the [Cassandra compatible syntax](https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/cassandra/getting-started/vector-search-quickstart.html#query-vector-data-with-cql):
```
SELECT comment, similarity_cosine(comment_vector, [0.1, 0.15, 0.3, 0.12, 0.05])
FROM cycling.comments_vs;
```
Although the calculations are slow, and we already have calculated results returned via Vector Store API,
we need the functionality as it allows us to calculate similarity of vectors not stored in vector indexes.
It will be needed for [quantization and rescoring](https://scylladb.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RND/pages/195985800/Quantization+and+Rescoring).
The feature is also a nice-to-have in testing as requested many times by testing and CX teams.
The optimized version utilizing already calculated distances from Vector Store without a need of rescoring will be coming soon after via https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/pull/27991.
---
The patch adds functions:
- `similarity_cosine(<vector>, <vector>)`,
- `similarity_euclidean(<vector>, <vector>)`,
- `similarity_dot_product(<vector>, <vector>)`
Where `<vector>` is either a column of type `VECTOR<FLOAT, N>` or a vector of floats literal.
These functions can be called with every `SELECT` query, not only ANN vector queries as opposed to https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/pull/25993.
The similarity calculations are implemented inspired by [USearch's implementation](
a2f1759910/include/usearch/index_plugins.hpp (L1304-L1385)) and made compatible with [Cassandra's documentation](https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/5.0/cassandra/developing/cql/functions.html#vector-similarity-functions).
That would guarantee the results in ScyllaDB are calculated using the exact same algorithms as used in Vector Store indexes.

The current state (after PR #26836) is that Alternator tables are
created by default using tablets. But due to issue #23838, Alternator
Streams cannot be enabled on a table that uses tablets... An attempt to
enable Streams on such a table results in a clear error:
"Streams not yet supported on a table using tablets (issue #23838).
If you want to use streams, create a table with vnodes by setting
the tag 'system:initial_tablets' set to 'none'."
But users should be able to learn this fact from the documentation -
not just retroactively from an error message. This is especially important
because a user might create and fill a table using tablets, and only get
this error when attempting to enable Streams on the existing table -
when it is too late to change anything.
So this patch adds a paragraph on this to compatibility.md, where
several other requirements of Alternator Streams are already mentioned.

<h3>Why re-enabling table audit</h3>
Audit has been disabled (scylladb/scylla-enterprise/pull/3094) over many concerns raised against the table implementation, e.g. scylladb/scylla-enterprise/issues/2939 / scylladb/scylla-enterprise/issues/2759 + there's whole outstanding backlog of issues . One of the concerns was also a possible loss of availability, and since then we migrated audit keyspace from SimpleStrategy RF=1 to NetworkTopologyStrategy RF=3 (scylladb/scylla-enterprise/pull/3399) and stopped failing queries when auditing fails (scylladb/scylla-enterprise/pull/3118 & scylladb/scylla-enterprise/pull/3117), which improves the situation but doesn't address all the concerns. Eventually we want to use syslog as audit's sink, but it's not fully ready just yet, and so we'll restore table audit for now to increase the security, but later switch to syslog. BTW. cloud will enable table audit for AUTH category scylladb/sre-ops-automation/issues/2970 separately from this effort.
<h3>Performance considerations</h3>
We are assuming that the events for the enabled categories, i.e. DCL, DDL, AUTH & ADMIN, should appear at about the same, low cadence, with AUTH perhaps having the biggest impact of them all under some workloads. The performance penalty of enabling just the AUTH category [has been measured](https://scylladb.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RND/pages/148308005/Audit+performance+impact+test) and while authentication throughput and read/write throughput remain stable, the queries' P99 latency may decrease by a couple of % in the most hardcore scenarios.

Currently, the tablet load balancer performs capacity based balancing by collecting the gross disk capacity of the nodes, and computes balance assuming that all tablet sizes are the same.
This change introduces size-based load balancing. The load balancer does not assume identical tablet sizes any more, and computes load based on actual tablet sizes.
The size-based load balancer computes the difference between the most and least loaded nodes in the balancing set (nodes in DC, or nodes in a rack in case of `rf-rack-valid-keyspaces`) 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 PR is a part of a series of PRs which are based on top of each other.

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.

The doc about DDL statements claims that an `ALTER KEYSPACE` will fail
in the presence of an ongoing global topology operation.
This limitation was specifically referring to RF changes, which Scylla
implements as global topology requests (`keyspace_rf_change`), and it
was true when it was first introduced (1b913dd880) because there was
no global topology request queue at that time, so only one ongoing
global request was allowed in the cluster.
This limitation was lifted with the introduction of the global topology
request queue (6489308ebc), and it was re-introduced again very
recently (2e7ba1f8ce) in a slightly different form; it now applies only
to RF changes (not to any request type) and only those that affect the
same keyspace. None of these two changes were ever reflected in the doc.
Synchronize the doc with the current state.

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 are already 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.

`system.client_routes` is a system table that sets the target address and ports for each `host_id`, for one or more connection (e.g., Private Link) represented by `connection_id`.

This reverts commit 8192f45e84.
The merge exposed a bug where truncate (via drop) fails and causes Raft
errors, leading to schema inconsistencies across nodes. This results in
test_table_drop_with_auto_snapshot failures with 'Keyspace test does not exist'
errors.
The specific problematic change was in commit 19b6207f which modified
truncate_table_on_all_shards to set use_sstable_identifier = true. This
causes exceptions during truncate that are not properly handled, leading
to Raft applier fiber stopping and nodes losing schema synchronization.
There is no 'regular' incremental mode anymore.
The example seems have meant 'disabled'.

When set, we use the sstable identifier, if available, to name each sstable in the snapshots directory
and the manifest.json file, rather than using the sstable generation.
This can be used by the user (e.g. Scylla Manager) for global deduplication with tablets, where an sstable
may be migrated across shards or across nodes, and in this case, its generation may change, but its
sstable identifier remains sstable.
Currently, Scylla manager uses the sstable generation to detect sstables that are already backed up to
object storage and exist in previous backed up snapshots.
Historically, the sstable generation was guaranteed to be unique only per table per node,
so the dedup code currently checks for deduplication in the node scope.
However, with tablet migration, sstables are renamed when migrated to a different shard,
i.e. their generation changes, and they may be renamed when migrated to another node,
but even if they are not, the dedup logic still assumes uniqueness only within a node.
To address both cases, we keep the sstable_id stable throughout the sstable life cycle (since 3a12ad96c7).
Given the globally unique sstable identifier, scylla manager can now detect duplicate sstables
in a wider scope. This can be cluster-wide, but we practically need only rack-wide deduplication
or dc-wide, as tablets are migrated across racks only in rare occasions (like when converting from a
numerical replication factor to a rack list containing a subset of the available racks in a datacenter).

We switched to using v3 schema tables (in system_schema keyspace) in
2017, in 9eb91bc30b.
So no system should have the old schema any more.
No need to run legacy_schema_migrator on boot.
