Currently, we configure LimitNOFILE on scylla-server.service, but we
don't configure fs.nr_open and fs.file-max.
When fs.nr_open or fs.file-max are smaller than LimitNOFILE, we may fail
to allocate FDs.
To fix this issue, raise fs.file-max and fs.nr_open to enogh size for
scylla.

Listing /etc/systemd/system/*.mount as ghost file seems incorrect,
since user may want to keep using RAID volume / coredump directory after
uninstalling Scylla, or user may want to upgrade enterprise version.
Also, we mixed two types of files as ghost file, it should handle differently:
1. automatically generated by postinst scriptlet
2. generated by user invoked scylla_setup
The package should remove only 1, since 2 is generated by user decision.
However, just dropping .mount from %files section causes another
problem, rpm will remove these files during upgrade, instead of
uninstall (#8924).
To fix both problem, specify .mount files as "%ghost %config".
It will keep files both package upgrade and package remove.

This reverts commit a677c46672. It causes
upgrade from a version that did not have a commit to a version that
does have the commit to lose the .mount files, since they change
from being owned by the package (via %ghost) to not being owned.

The Red Hat packages were missing two things, first the metapackage
wasn't dependant at all in the python3 package and second, the
scylla-server package dependencies didn't contain a version as part
of the dependency which can cause to some problems during upgrade.
Doing both of the things listed here is a bit of an overkill as either
one of them separately would solve the problem described in #XXXX
but both should be applied in order to express the correct concept.

This is a follow up change to #8512.
Let's add aio conf file during scylla installation process and make sure
we also remove this file when uninstall Scylla
As per Avi Kivity's suggestion, let's set aio value as static
configuration, and make it large enough to work with 500 cpus.
Closes#8650
Current aio-max-nr is set up statically to 1048576 in
/etc/sysctl.d/99-scylla-aio.conf.
This is sufficient for most use cases, but falls short on larger machines
such as i3en.24xlarge on AWS that has 96 vCPUs.
We need to tune the parameter based on the number of cpus, instead of
static setting.

We have "Conflicts: kernel < 3.10.0-514" on rpm package to make sure
the environment is running newer kernel.
However, user may use non-standard kernel which has different package name,

On such environment Conflicts tag does not works correctly.

To avoid such issue, we need to drop Conflicts tag.

Change to a Conflicts: instead. This prevents installation when
the really old kernel is present, but doesn't pull it in for the

Except scylla-python3, each scylla package has its own git repository, same package script filename, same build directory structure.
To put python3 thing on scylla repo, we created 'python3' directory on multiple locations, made '-python3' suffixed files, dig deeper build directory not to conflict scylla-server package build.
We should move all scylla-python3 related files to new repository, scylla-python3.
To keep compatibility with current Jenkins script, provide packages on

Since scylla-cpupower.service isn't installed by .rpm package, but created

To make unified relocatable package easily, we may want to merge tarballs to single tarball like this:
zcat *.tar.gz | gzip -c > scylla-unified.tar.xz
But it's not possible with current relocatable package format, since there are multiple files conflicts, install.sh, SCYLLA-*-FILE, dist/, README.md, etc..
To support this, we need to archive everything in the directory when building relocatable package.
This is modifying relocatable package format, we need to provide a way to
detect the format version.
To do this, we added a new file ".relocatable_package_version" on the top of the
archive, and set version number "2" to the file.
Fixes#6315
We use pystache to parametrize our scylla.spec, but pystache is not
present in Fedora 32. Fortunately rpm provides its own template mechanism,
and this patch switches to using it:
- no longer install pystache
- pass parameters via rpm "-D" options
- use 0/1 for conditionals instead of true/false as per rpm conventions
- sanitize the "product" variable to not contain dashes
- change the .spec file to use rpm templating: %{...} and %if ... %endif
instead of mustache templating
To use install.sh as Scylla install script w/o using .rpm/.deb package,
we need to provide a way to upgrade Scylla version, not just install.
With --upgrade option, install.sh does not overwrite config files.
It will install <filename>.new file on same directory, when old config file and
new config file does not contain same data.
If old one and new one is exactly same, it will nothing.
To implement this, rewriting api_ui_dir/api_doc_dir path on scylla.yaml
moved from .rpm/.deb scriptlet to install.sh.

On some environment systemd-coredump does not work with symlink directory,

This reverts commit 65aadad9a6. It causes

is called from rpm postinstall. The test should be done only from scylla_setup (and
the user should be warned).

we also need to add --packaging option to skip them.

rpm compression uses xz, which is painfully slow. Adjust the

The xz utility documentation suggests that 0 threads is

Since we merged /usr/lib/scylla with /opt/scylladb, we removed
/usr/lib/scylla and replace it with the symlink point to /opt/scylladb.
However, RPM does not support replacing a directory with a symlink,
we are doing some dirty hack using RPM scriptlet, but it causes
multiple issues on upgrade/downgrade.
(See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Directory_Replacement/)
To minimize Scylla upgrading/downgrade issues on user side, it's better
to keep /usr/lib/scylla directory.
Instead of creating single symlink /usr/lib/scylla -> /opt/scylladb,
we can create symlinks for each setup scripts like
/usr/lib/scylla/<script> -> /opt/scylladb/scripts/<script>.
Fixes#5522Fixes#4585Fixes#4611
The vm.swappiness sysctl controls the kernel's prefernce for swapping
anonymous memory vs page cache. Since Scylla uses very large amounts
of anonymous memory, and tiny amounts of page cache, the correct setting
is to prefer swapping page cache. If the kernel swaps anonymous memory
the reactor will stall until the page fault is satisfied. On the other
hand, page cache pages usually belong to other applications, usually
backup processes that read Scylla files.
This setting has been used in production in Scylla Cloud for a while
with good results.
Users can opt out by not installing the scylla-kernel-conf package
(same as with the other kernel tunables).

By default rpm uses dwz to merge the debug info from various

Fedora 31 switched the default compression to zstd, which isn't readable
by some older rpm distributions (CentOS 7 in particular). Tell it to use
the older xz compression instead, so packages produced on Fedora 31 can
be installed on older distributions.
The post-uninstall scriptlet requires a parameter, but older versions
of rpm survived without it. Fedora 31's rpm is more strict, so supply
this parameter.
Since systemd unit can override parameters using drop-in unit, we don't need
mustache template for them.
Also, drop --disttype and --target options on install.sh since it does not
required anymore, introduce --sysconfdir instead for non-redhat distributions.
It is well known that seastar applications, like Scylla, do not play
well with external processes: CPU usage from external processes may
confuse the I/O and CPU schedulers and create stalls.
We have also recently seen that memory usage from other application's
anonymous and page cache memory can bring the system to OOM.
Linux has a very good infrastructure for resource control contributed by
amazingly bright engineers in the form of cgroup controllers. This
infrastructure is exposed by SystemD in the form of slices: a
hierarchical structure to which controllers can be attached.
In true systemd way, the hierarchy is implicit in the filenames of the
slice files. a "-" symbol defines the hierarchy, so the files that this
patch presents, scylla-server and scylla-helper, essentially create a
"scylla" cgroup at the top level with "server" and "helper" children.
Later we mark the Services needed to run scylla as belonging to one
or the other through the Slice= directive.
Scylla DBAs can benefit from this setup by using the systemd-run
utility to fire ad-hoc commands.
Let's say for example that someone wants to hypothetically run a backup
and transfer files to an external object store like S3, making sure that
the amount of page cache used won't create swap pressure leading to
database timeouts.
One can then run something like:
```
sudo systemd-run --uid=`id -u scylla` --gid=`id -g scylla` -t --slice=scylla-helper.slice /path/to/my/magical_backup_tool
```
(or even better, the backup tool can itself be a systemd timer)
Changes from last version:
- No longer use the CPUQuota
- Minor typo fixes
- postinstall fixup for small machines

There are systemd-related steps done in both rpm and deb builds.
Move that to a script so we avoid duplication.
The tests are so far a bit specific to the distributions, so it
needs to be adapted a bit.
Also note that this also fixes a bug with rpm as a side-effect:
rpm does not call daemon-reload after potentially changing the
systemd files (it is only implied during postun operations, that
happen during uninstall). daemon-reload was called explicitly for
debian packages, and now it is called for both.
