Tested code paths should not throw exceptions. `scylla_reactor_cpp_exceptions`
metric is used. This is a global metric. To address potential test flakiness,
each test runs multiple times:
- `run_count = 100`
- `cpp_exception_threshold = 10`
If a change in the code introduced an exception, expectation is that the number
of registered exceptions will be > `cpp_exception_threshold` in `run_count` runs.
In which case the test fails.
Add a helper to fetch scylla_transport_cql_errors_total{type="protocol_error"} counter
from Scylla's metrics endpoint. These metrics are used to track protocol error
count before and after each test.
Add cql_with_protocol context manager utility for session creation with parameterized
protocol_version value. This is used for testing connection establishment with
different protocol versions, and proper disposal of successfully established sessions.
The tests cover two failure scenarios:
- Protocol version mismatch in test_protocol_version_mismatch which tests both supported
and unsupported protocol version
- Malformed frames via raw socket in _protocol_error_impl, used by several test functions,
and also test_no_protocol_exceptions test to assert that the error counters never decrease
during test execution, catching unintended metric resets
