Alternator is a coordinator-side service and so should not access
the replica module. In this series all but one of uses of the replica
module are replaced with data_dictionary.
One case remains - accessing the replication map which is not
available (and should not be available) via the data dictionary.
The data_dictionary module is expanded with missing accessors.
Closes#9945
* github.com:scylladb/scylla:
alternator: switch to data_dictionary for table listing purposes
data_dictionary: add get_tables()
data_dictionary: introduce keyspace::is_internal()
As a coordinator-side service, alternator shouldn't touch the
replica module, so it is migrated here to data_dictionary.
One use case still remains that uses replica::keyspace - accessing
the replication map. This really isn't a replica-side thing, but it's
also not logically part of the data dictionary, so it's left using
replica::keyspace (using the data_dictionary::database::real_database()
escape hatch). Figuring out how to expose the replication map to
coordinator-side services is left for later.
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 database, keyspace, and table classes represent the replica-only
part of the objects after which they are named. Reading from a table
doesn't give you the full data, just the replica's view, and it is not
consistent since reconciliation is applied on the coordinator.
As a first step in acknowledging this, move the related files to
a replica/ subdirectory.
Alternator auth module used to piggy-back on top of CQL query processor
to retrieve authentication data, but it's no longer the case.
Instead, storage proxy is used directly.
Closes#9538
Get rid of unused includes of seastar/util/{defer,closeable}.hh
and add a few that are missing from source files.

Alternator request sizes can be up to 16 MB, but the current implementation
had the Seastar HTTP server read the entire request as a contiguous string,
and then processed it. We can't avoid reading the entire request up-front -
we want to verify its integrity before doing any additional processing on it.
But there is no reason why the entire request needs to be stored in one big
*contiguous* allocation. This always a bad idea. We should use a non-
contiguous buffer, and that's the goal of this patch.
We use a new Seastar HTTPD feature where we can ask for an input stream,
instead of a string, for the request's body. We then begin the request
handling by reading lthe content of this stream into a
vector<temporary_buffer<char>> (which we alias "chunked_content"). We then
use this non-contiguous buffer to verify the request's signature and
if successful - parse the request JSON and finally execute it.
Beyond avoiding contiguous allocations, another benefit of this patch is
that while parsing a long request composed of chunks, we free each chunk
as soon as its parsing completed. This reduces the peak amount of memory
used by the query - we no longer need to store both unparsed and parsed
versions of the request at the same time.
Although we already had tests with requests of different lengths, most
of them were short enough to only have one chunk, and only a few had
2 or 3 chunks. So we also add a test which makes a much longer request
(a BatchWriteItem with large items), which in my experiment had 17 chunks.
The goal of this test is to verify that the new signature and JSON parsing
code which needs to cross chunk boundaries work as expected.
Fixes#7213.

Timeout config is now stored in each connection, so there's no point
in tracking it inside each query as well. This patch removes
timeout_config from query_options and follows by removing now
unnecessary parameters of many functions and constructors.
All the places in auth.cc where we constructed an api_error with inline
strings now use api_error factory functions.

All internal execution always uses query text as a key in the
cache of internal prepared statements. There is no need
to publish API for executing an internal prepared statement object.
The folded execute_internal() calls an internal prepare() and then
internal execute().
execute_internal(cache=true) does exactly that.
The authorization signature contains both a full obligatory date header
and a shortened datestamp - an additional verification step ensures that
the shortened stamp matches the full date.
AWS signatures have a 15min expiration policy. For compatibility,
the same policy is applied for alternator requests. The policy also
ensures that signatures expanding more than 15 minutes into the future
are treated as unsafe and thus not accepted.
As a first step towards coupling alternator authorization with Scylla
authorization, a helper function for extracting the key (salted_hash)
belonging to the user is added.
A function for computing the auth signature from user requests
is added, along with helper functions. The implementation
is based on gnutls's HMAC.
