a896e2dbb9 alternator: add optional support for writing to system table
In commit 44a1daf we added the ability to read system tables through
the DynamoDB API (actually, the Scan and Query requests only).
This ability is useful for tests, and can also be useful to users who
want to read information that is only available through system tables.

This patch adds support also for *writing* into system tables. This will
be useful for Alternator tests, were we want to temporarily change
some live-updatable configuration option - and so far haven't been
able to do that like we did do in some cql-pytest tests.

For reasons explained in issue #23218, only superuser roles are allowed to
write to system tables - it is not enough for the role to be granted
MODIFY permissions on the system table or on ALL KEYSPACES. Moreover,
the ability to modify system tables carries special risks, so this
patch only allows writes to the system tables if a new configuration
option "alternator_allow_system_table_write" turned on. This option is
turned off by default.

This patch also includes a test for this new configuration-writing
capability. The test scripts test/alternator/run and test.py now
run Scylla with alternator_allow_system_table_write turned on, but
the new test can also run without this option, and will be skipped
in that case (to allow running the test suite against some manually-
run instance of Scylla).

Fixes: #12348

ec7832cc84 Merge 'Raft-based recovery procedure: simplify rolling restart with recovery_leader' from Patryk Jędrzejczak
The following steps are performed in sequence as part of the
Raft-based recovery procedure:
- set `recovery_leader` to the host ID of the recovery leader in
  `scylla.yaml` on all live nodes,
- send the `SIGHUP` signal to all Scylla processes to reload the config,
- perform a rolling restart (with the recovery leader being restarted
  first).

These steps are not intuitive and more complicated than they could be.

In this PR, we simplify these steps. From now on, we will be able to
simply set `recovery_leader` on each node just before restarting it.

Apart from making necessary changes in the code, we also update all
tests of the Raft-based recovery procedure and the user-facing
documentation.

Fixes scylladb/scylladb#25015

The Raft-based procedure was added in 2025.2. This PR makes the
procedure simpler and less error-prone, so it should be backported
to 2025.2 and 2025.3.

445a15ff45 db/config, gms/gossiper: change recovery_leader to UUID
We change the type of the `recovery_leader` config parameter and
`gossip_config::recovery_leader` from sstring to UUID. `recovery_leader`
is supposed to store host ID, so UUID is a natural choice.

After changing the type to UUID, if the user provides an incorrect UUID,
parsing `recovery_leader` will fail early, but the start-up will
continue. Outside the recovery procedure, `recovery_leader` will then be
ignored. In the recovery procedure, the start-up will fail on:

```
throw std::runtime_error(
        "Cannot start - Raft-based topology has been enabled but persistent group 0 ID is not present. "
        "If you are trying to run the Raft-based recovery procedure, you must set recovery_leader.");

7bf53fc908 vector_store_client: implement initial vector_store_client service
This patch is a part of vector_store_client sharded service
implementation for a communication with vector-store service.

It adds a `services/vector_store_client.{cc|hh}` sharded service and a
configuration parameter `vector_store_uri` with a
`http://vector-store.dns.name:port` format. If there will be an error
during parsing that parameter there will be an exception during
construction.

For the future unit testing purposes the patch adds
`vector_store_client_tester` as a way to inject mockup functionality.

This service will be used by the select statements for the Vector search
indexes (see VS-46). For this reason I've added vector_store_client
service in the query processor.

04fb2c026d config: decrease default large allocation warning threshold to 128k
Back in 2017 (5a2439e702), we introduced a check for large
allocations as they can stall the memory allocator. The warning
threshold was set at 1 MB. Since then many fixes for large allocations

We reduce it here to 128 kB, the natural allocation size for the
system. A quick run showed no warnings.

fbcf77d134 raft: make group0 Raft operation timeout configurable
A recent commit 370707b111 (re)introduced
a timeout for every group0 Raft operation. This timeout was set to 60
seconds, which, paraphrasing Bill Gates, "ought to be enough for anybody".

However, one of the things we do as a group0 operation is schema
changes, and we already noticed a few years ago, see commit
0b2cf21932, that in some extremely
overloaded test machines where tests run hundreds of times (!) slower
than usual, a single big schema operation - such as Alternator's
DeleteTable deleting a table and multiple of its CDC or view tables -
sometimes takes more than 60 seconds. The above fix changed the
client's timeout to wait for 300 seconds instead of 60 seconds,
but now we also need to increase our Raft timeout, or the server can
time out. We've seen this happening recently making some tests flaky
in CI (issue #23543).

So let's make this timeout configurable, as a new configuration option
group0_raft_op_timeout_in_ms. This option defaults to 60000 (i.e,
60 seconds), the same as the existing default. The test framework
overrides this default with a a higher 300 second timeout, matching
the client-side timeout.

Before this patch, this timeout was already configurable in a strange
way, using injections. But this was a misstep: We already have more
than a dozen timeouts configurable through the normal configration,
and this one should have been configured in the same way. There is
nothing "holy" about the default of 60 seconds we chose, and who
knows maybe in the future we might need to tweek it in the field,
just like we made the other timeouts tweakable. Injections cannot
be used in release mode, but configuration options can.

ed3e4f33fd Merge 'generic_server: throttle and shed incoming connections according to semaphore limit' from Marcin Maliszkiewicz
Adds new live updatable config: uninitialized_connections_semaphore_cpu_concurrency.

It should help to reduce cpu usage by limiting cpu concurrency for new connections.  As a last resort when those connections are waiting for initial processing too long (over 1m) they are shed.

New connections_shed and connections_blocked metrics are added for tracking.

Testing:
 - manually via simple program creating high number of connection and constantly re-connecting
 - added benchmark

Following are benchmark results:

Before:
```

The patch adds around 67 insns/op so it's effect on performance should be negligible.

fcdae20fd1 Merge 'Add tablet enforcing option' from Benny Halevy
This series add a new config option: `tablets_mode_for_new_keyspaces` that replaces the existing
`enable_tablets` option. It can be set to the following values:
    disabled: New keyspaces use vnodes by default, unless enabled by the tablets={'enabled':true} option
    enabled:  New keyspaces use tablets by default, unless disabled by the tablets={'disabled':true} option
    enforced: New keyspaces must use tablets. Tablets cannot be disabled using the CREATE KEYSPACE option

`tablets_mode_for_new_keyspaces=disabled` or `tablets_mode_for_new_keyspaces=enabled` control whether
tablets are disabled or enabled by default for new keyspaces, respectively.
In either cases, tablets can be opted-in or out using the `tablets={'enabled':...}`
keyspace option, when the keyspace is created.

`tablets_mode_for_new_keyspaces=enforced` enables tablets by default for new keyspaces,
like `tablets_mode_for_new_keyspaces=enabled`.
However, it does not allow to opt-out when creating
new keyspaces by setting `tablets = {'enabled': false}`

6da758d74c config: mark uuid_sstable_identifiers_enabled unused
the option of `uuid_sstable_identifier_enabled` was introduced in
f014ccf3 . the first version which has this change was 5.4, and
6.1 has been branched. during the discussion of backup and restore,
we realized that we've been taking efforts to address problems which
could have been addressed with the sstable with UUID-based identifier.
see also #10459 which is the issue which proposed to implement UUID-v1
based sstable identifier.

now that two major releases passed, we should have the luxury to mark
this option "unused". this option which was previously introduced to
keep the backward compatibility, and to allow user to opt-out of the
feature for some reasons.

so in this change,  mark the option unused, so that if any user still
sets this option with command line, they will get a clear error. but
we still parse and handle this setting in `scylla.yaml`, so that this
option is still respected for existing settings, and for existing tests,
which are not yet prepared for the uuid-based sstable identifiers.

Add a fiber responsible for periodic re-training of compression dictionaries
(for tables which opted into dict-aware compression).

As of this patch, it works like this:
every `$tick_period` (15 minutes), if we are the current Raft leader,
we check for dict-aware tables which have no dict, or a dict older
than `$retrain_period`.

For those tables, if they have enough data (>1GiB) for a training,
we train a new dict and check if it's significantly better
than the current one (provides ratio smaller than 95% of current ratio),
and if so, we update the dict.

7646e1448a Merge 'cql3: Introduce RF-rack-valid keyspaces' from Dawid Mędrek
This PR is an introductory step towards enforcing
RF-rack-valid keyspaces in Scylla.

The scope of changes:
* defining RF-rack-valid keyspaces,
* introducing a configuration option enforcing RF-rack-valid
  keyspaces,
* restricting the CREATE and ALTER KEYSPACE statements
  so that they never lead to RF-rack invalid keyspaces,
* during the initialization of a node, it verifies that all existing
  keyspaces are RF-rack-valid. If not, the initialization fails.

We provide tests verifying that the changes behave as intended.

---

Note that there are a number of things that still need to be implemented.
That includes, for instance, restricting topology operations too.

---

Implementation strategy (going beyond the scope of this PR):

1. Introduce the new configuration option `rf_rack_valid_keyspaces`.
2. Start enforcing RF-rack-validity in keyspaces if the option is enabled.
3. Adjust the tests: in the tree and out of it. Explicitly enable the option in all tests.
4. Once the tests have been adjusted, change the default value of the option to enabled.
5. Stop explicitly enabling the option in tests.
6. Get rid of the option.

32879ec0d5 db/config: Introduce RF-rack-valid keyspaces
We introduce a new term in the glossary: RF-rack-valid keyspace.

We also highlight in our user documentation that all keyspaces
must remain RF-rack-valid throughout their lifetime, and failing
to guarantee that may result in data inconsistencies or other
issues. We base that information on our experience with materialized
views in keyspaces using tablets, even though they remain
an experimental feature.

Along with the new term, we introduce a new configuration option
called `rf_rack_valid_keyspaces`, which, when enabled, will enforce
preserving all keyspaces RF-rack-valid. That functionality will be
implemented in upcoming commits. For now, we materialize the
restriction in form of a named requirement: a function verifying
that the passed keyspace is RF-rack-valid.

The option is disabled by default. That will change once we adjust
the existing tests to the new semantics. Once that is done, the option
will first be enabled by default, and then it will be removed.

This patch ensures that members of the new group 0 can gossip with
members of the old group 0 during rolling restart in the Raft-based

fd51d7e448 treewide: allow recreating group 0 in the Raft-based recovery procedure
This patch adds support for recreating group 0 after losing
majority. This is the only part of the new Raft-based recovery
procedure that touches Scylla core.

The following steps are necessary to recreate group 0:
1. Determine the new group 0 members. These are alive nodes that
are normal or rebuilding.
2. Choose the recovery leader - the node which will become the
new group 0 leader. This must be one of the nodes with the
latest persistent group 0 state.
3. Remove `raft_group_id` from `system.scylla_local` and truncate
`system.discovery` on each live node.
4. Set the new scylla.yaml parameter - `recovery_leader` - to Host
ID of the recovery leader on each live node.
5. Rolling restart all live nodes, but the recovery leader must be
restarted first.

In the implementation, restarts in step 5 are very similar to normal
restarts with the Raft-based topology enabled. The only differences
are:
1. Steps 3-4 make the restarting node discover the new group 0
in `join_cluster`.
2. The group 0 server is started in `join_group0`, not
`setup_group0_if_exists`.
3. The restarting node joins the new group 0 in `join_topology` using
`legacy_handshaker`. There is no reason to contact the topology
coordinator since the node has already joined the topology.

Unfortunately, this patch creates another execution path for the
starting logic. `join_cluster` becomes even messier. However, there
is nothing we can do about it. Joining group 0 without joining
topology is something completely new. Having a few small changes
without touching other execution paths is the best we can do.
We will start removing the old stuff soon, after making the
Raft-based topology mandatory, and the situation will improve.

2f10205714 config: Enable optional TLS1.3 session ticket usage in cert setup
Refs #22916

Adds an "enable_session_tickets" option to TLS setup for our server
endpoints (not documented for internode RPC, as we don't handle it
on the client side there), allowing enabling of TLS3 client session
ticket, i.e. quicker reconnect.

Session tickets are valid within a time frame or until a node
restarts, whichever comes first.

v2:
Use "TLS1.3" in help message

5d63ef4d15 Merge 'scylla sstable: Add standard extensions and propagate to schema load ' from Calle Wilund
Fixes #22314

Adds expected schema extensions to the tools extension set (if used). Also uses the source config extensions in schema loader instead of temp one, to ensure we can, for example, load a schema.cql with things like `tombstone_gc` or encryption attributes in them.

Bundles together the setup of "always on" schema extensions into a single call, and uses this from the three (3) init points.
Could have opted for static reg via `configurables`, but since we are moving to a single code base, the need for this is going away, hence explicit init seems more in line.

f1bda8d4c1 tablets: load_balancer: Scale down tablet count to respect per-shard tablet count goal
The limit is enforced by controlling average per-shard tablet replica
count in a given DC, which is controlled by per-table tablet
count. This is effective in respecting the limit on individual shards
as long as tablet replicas are distributed evenly between shards.

There is no attempt to move tablets around in order to enforce limits
on individual shards in case of imbalance between shards.

If the average per-shard tablet count exceeds the limit, all tables
which contribute to it (have replicas in the DC) are scaled down
by the same factor. Due to rounding up to the nearest power of 2,
we may overshoot the per-shard goal by at most a factor of 2.

If different DCs want different scale factors of a given table, the
lowest scale factor is chosen for a given table.

The limit is configurable. It's a global per-cluster config which
controls how many tablet replicas per shard in total we consider to be
still ok. It controls tablet allocator behavior, when choosing initial
tablet count. Even though it's a per-node config, we don't support
different limits per node. All nodes must have the same value of that
config. It's similar in that regard to other scheduler config items
like tablets_initial_scale_factor and target_tablet_size_in_bytes.

f043c83ba5 tablets: Change the meaning of initial_scale to mean min-avg-tablets-per-shard
Currently the scale is applied post rounding up of tablet count so
that tablet count per shard is at least 1. In order to be able to use
the scale to increase tablet count per shard, we need to apply it
prior to division by RF, otherwise we will overshoot per-shard tablet
replica count.

Example:

  4 nodes, -c1, rf=3, initial_tablets_scale=10

  Before: initial_tablet_count=20, tablet-per-shard=15
  After: initial_tablet_count=14, tablets-per-shard=10.5

2463e524ed tablets: Set default initial tablet count scale to 10
This will result in new tables having at least 10 tablet replicas per
shard by default.

We want this to reduce tablet load imbalance due to differences in
tablet count per shard, where some shards have 1 tablet and some
shards have 2 tablets. With higher tablet count per shard, this
difference-by-one is less relevant.

Fixes #21967

In some tests, we explicity set the initial scale to 1 as some of the
existing tests assume 1 compaction group per shard.

test.py uses a lower default. Having many tablets per shard slows down
certain topology operations like decommission/replace/removenode,
where the running time is proportional to tablet count, not data size,
because constant cost (latency) of migration dominates. This latency
is due to group0 operations and barriers. This is especially
pronounced in debug mode. Scheduler allows at most 2 migrations per
shard, so this latency becomes a determining factor for decommission
speed.

To avoid this problem in tests, we use lower default for tablet count per
shard, 2 in debug/dev mode and 4 in release mode. Alternatively, we
could compensate by allowing more concurrency when migrating small
tablets, but there's no infrastructure for that yet.

I observed that with 10 tablets per shard, debug-mode
topology_custom.mv/test_mv_topology_change starts to time-out during
removenode (30 s).

3d12451d1f db/config: reader_concurrency_semaphore_cpu_concurrency: bump default to 2
This config item controls how many CPU-bound reads are allowed to run in
parallel. The effective concurrency of a single CPU core is 1, so
allowing more than one CPU-bound reads to run concurrently will just
result in time-sharing and both reads having higher latency.
However, restricting concurrency to 1 means that a CPU bound read that
takes a lot of time to complete can block other quick reads while it is
running. Increase this default setting to 2 as a compromise between not
over-using time-sharing, while not allowing such slow reads to block the
queue behind them.

e47c7d5255 Merge 'config: Improve internode_compression option validation and documentation' from Kefu Chai
This PR enhances the internode_compression configuration option in two ways:

1. Add validation for option values
   Previously, we silently defaulted to 'none' when given invalid values. Now we
   explicitly validate against the three supported values (all, dc, none) and
   reject invalid inputs. This provides better error messages when users
   misconfigure the option.

2. Fix documentation rendering
   The help text for this option previously used C++ escape sequences which
   rendered incorrectly in Sphinx-generated HTML. We now use bullet points with
   '*' prefix to list the available values, matching our documentation style
   for other config options. This ensures consistent rendering in both CLI
   and HTML outputs.

Note: The current documentation format puts type/default/liveness information
in the same bullet list as option values. This affects other config options
as well and will need to be addressed in a separate change.

---

this improves the handling of invalid option values, and improves the doc rendering, neither of which is critical. hence no need to backport.

a81416862a config: start available options with '*'
use '*' prefix for config option values instead of escape sequences

The custom Sphinx extension that generates documentation from config.cc
help messages has issues with C++ escape sequences. For example,
"\tall: All traffic" renders incorrectly as "tall: All traffic" in HTML
output.

Instead of using escape sequences, switch to bullet-point style with '*'
prefix which works better in both CLI and HTML rendering. This matches
our existing documentation style for available option values in other
configs.

Note: This change puts type/default/liveness info in the same bullet
list as option values. This limitation affects other similar config
options and will need to be addressed comprehensively in a future
change.

4018dc7f0d Introduce file stream for tablet
File based stream is a new feature that optimizes tablet movement
significantly. It streams the entire SSTable files without deserializing
SSTable files into mutation fragments and re-serializing them back into
SSTables on receiving nodes. As a result, less data is streamed over the
network, and less CPU is consumed, especially for data models that
contain small cells.

The following patches are imported from the scylla enterprise:

*) Merge 'Introduce file stream for tablet' from Asias He

    This patch uses Seastar RPC stream interface to stream sstable files on
    network for tablet migration.

    It streams sstables instead of mutation fragments. The file based
    stream has multiple advantages over the mutation streaming.

    - No serialization or deserialization for mutation fragments
    - No need to read and process each mutation fragments
    - On wire data is more compact and smaller

    In the test below, a significant speed up is observed.

    Two nodes, 1 shard per node, 1 initial_tablets:

    - Start node 1
    - Insert 10M rows of data with c-s
    - Bootstrap node 2

    Node 1 will migration data to node2 with the file stream.

    Test results:

    1) File stream: bytes on wire = 1132006250 bytes, bw = 836MB/s

    Taking the service::topology_guard could throw. Currently, it throws
    outside the try block, so the rpc sink will not be closed, causing the
    following assertion:

*) Merge 'Preserve original SSTable state with file based tablet migration' from Raphael "Raph" Carvalho

    We're not preserving the SSTable state across file based migration, so
    staging SSTables for example are being placed into main directory, and
    consequently, we're mixing staging and non-staging data, losing the
    ability to continue from where the old replica left off.
    It's expected that the view update backlog is transferred from old
    into new replica, as migration doesn't wait for leaving replica to
    complete view update work (which can take long). Elasticity is preferred.

    So this fix guarantees that the state of the SSTable will be preserved
    by propagating it in form of subdirectory (each subdirectory is
    statically mapped with a particular state).

    The staging sstables aren't being registered into view update generator
    yet, as that's supposed to be fixed in OSS (more details can be found
    at https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/19149).

*) Merge 'File streaming sstables: Use sstable source/sink to transfer snapshots' from Calle Wilund

    Fixes #4246

    Alternative approach/better separation of concern, transport vs. sstable layer. Builds on #4472, but fancier.

    Ensures we transfer and pre-process scylla metadata for streamed
    file blobs first, then properly apply receiving nodes local config
    by using a source and sink layer exported from sstables, which
    handles things like ordering, metadata filtering (on source) as well
    as handling metadata and proper IO paths when writing data on
    receiver node (sink).

    This implementation maintains the statelessness of the current
    design, and the delegated sink side will re-read and re-write the
    metadata for each component processed. This is a little wasteful,
    but the meta is small, and it is less error prone than trying to do
    caching cross-shards etc. The transport is isolated from the
    knowledge.

    This is an alternative/complement to #4436 and #4472, fixing the
    underlying issue. Note that while the layers/API:s here allows easy
    fixing of other fundamental problems in the feature (such as
    destination location etc), these are not included in the PR, to keep
    it as close to the current behaviour as possible.

*) Merge 'Preserve original SSTable state with file based tablet migration' from Raphael "Raph" Carvalho

    We're not preserving the SSTable state across file based migration, so
    staging SSTables for example are being placed into main directory, and
    consequently, we're mixing staging and non-staging data, losing the
    ability to continue from where the old replica left off.
    It's expected that the view update backlog is transferred from old
    into new replica, as migration doesn't wait for leaving replica to
    complete view update work (which can take long). Elasticity is preferred.

    So this fix guarantees that the state of the SSTable will be preserved
    by propagating it in form of subdirectory (each subdirectory is
    statically mapped with a particular state).

    The staging sstables aren't being registered into view update generator
    yet, as that's supposed to be fixed in OSS (more details can be found
    at https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/19149).

    Fixes #4265.

*) Merge 'File streaming sstables: Use sstable source/sink to transfer snapshots' from Calle Wilund

    Fixes #4246

    Alternative approach/better separation of concern, transport vs. sstable layer. Builds on #4472, but fancier.

    Ensures we transfer and pre-process scylla metadata for streamed
    file blobs first, then properly apply receiving nodes local config
    by using a source and sink layer exported from sstables, which
    handles things like ordering, metadata filtering (on source) as well
    as handling metadata and proper IO paths when writing data on
    receiver node (sink).

    This implementation maintains the statelessness of the current
    design, and the delegated sink side will re-read and re-write the
    metadata for each component processed. This is a little wasteful,
    but the meta is small, and it is less error prone than trying to do
    caching cross-shards etc. The transport is isolated from the
    knowledge.

    This is an alternative/complement to #4436 and #4472, fixing the
    underlying issue. Note that while the layers/API:s here allows easy
    fixing of other fundamental problems in the feature (such as
    destination location etc), these are not included in the PR, to keep
    it as close to the current behaviour as possible.

    File streaming now has "stream_mutation_fragments" error injection points

    This commit adds a description of the file-based streaming feature to the documentation.

    It will be displayed in the docs using the scylladb_include_flag directive after
    https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/pull/20182 is merged, backported to branch-6.0,
    and, in turn, branch-2024.2.
