The commitlog api originally implied that
the commitlog_directory would contain files
from a single commitlog instance. This is
checked in segment_manager::list_descriptors,
if it encounters a file with an unknown
prefix, an exception occurs in
commitlog::descriptor::descriptor, which is
logged with the WARN level.
A new schema commitlog was added recently,
which shares the filesystem directory with
the main commitlog. This causes warnings
to be emitted on each boot. This patch
solves the warnings problem by moving
the schema commitlog to a separate directory.
In addition, the user can employ the new
schema_commitlog_directory parameter to move
the schema commitlog to another disk drive.
By default, the schema commitlog directory is
nested in the commitlog_directory. This can help
avoid problems during an upgrade if the
commitlog_directory in the custom scylla.yaml
is located on a separate disk partition.
This is expected to be released in 5.3.
As #13134 (raft tables->schema commitlog)
is also scheduled for 5.3, and it already
requires a clean rolling restart (no cl
segments to replay), we don't need to
specifically handle upgrade here.
Fixes: #11867
