Memtables are a replica-side entity, and so are moved to the
replica module and namespace.
Memtables are also used outside the replica, in two places:
- in some virtual tables; this is also in some way inside the replica,
(virtual readers are installed at the replica level, not the
cooordinator), so I don't consider it a layering violation
- in many sstable unit tests, as a convenient way to create sstables
with known input. This is a layering violation.
We could make memtables their own module, but I think this is wrong.
Memtables are deeply tied into replica memory management, and trying
to make them a low-level primitive (at a lower level than sstables) will
be difficult. Not least because memtables use sstables. Instead, we
should have a memtable-like thing that doesn't support merging and
doesn't have all other funky memtable stuff, and instead replace
the uses of memtables in sstable tests with some kind of
make_flat_mutation_reader_from_unsorted_mutations() that does
the sorting that is the reason for the use of memtables in tests (and
live with the layering violation meanwhile).
Test: unit (dev)
Closes#10120
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
Uses the infrastructure for testing mutation_sources, but only a
subset of it which does not do fast forwarding (since virtual_table
does not support it).
