Avi Kivity 22949bae52 Merge 'logstor: implement tablet split/merge and migration' from Michael Litvak
implement tablet split, tablet merge and tablet migration for tables that use the experimental logstor storage engine.

* tablet merge simply merges the histograms of segments of one compaction group with another.
* for tablet split we take the segments from the source compaction group, read them and write all live records to separate segments according to the split classifier, and move separated segments to the target compaction groups.
* for tablet migration we use stream_blob, similarly to file streaming of sstables. we add a new op type for streaming a logstor segment. on the source we take a snapshot of the segments with an input stream that reads the segment, and on the target we create a sink that allocates a new segment on the target shard and writes to it.
* we also do some improvements for recovery and loading of segments. we add a segment header that contains useful information for non-mixed segments, such as the table and token range.

ScyllaDB Documentation

This repository contains the source files for ScyllaDB documentation.

  • The dev folder contains developer-oriented documentation related to the ScyllaDB code base. It is not published and is only available via GitHub.
  • All other folders and files contain user-oriented documentation related to ScyllaDB and are sources for docs.scylladb.com/manual.

To report a documentation bug or suggest an improvement, open an issue in GitHub issues for this project.

To contribute to the documentation, open a GitHub pull request.

Key Guidelines for Contributors

To prevent the build from failing:

  • If you add a new file, ensure it's added to an appropriate toctree, for example:

     .. toctree::
        :maxdepth: 2
        :hidden:
    
        Page X </folder1/article1>
        Page Y </folder1/article2>
        Your New Page </folder1/your-new-article>
    
  • Make sure the link syntax is correct. See the guidelines on creating links

  • Make sure the section headings are correct. See the guidelines on creating headings Note that the markup must be at least as long as the text in the heading. For example:

Building User Documentation

Prerequisites

  • Python
  • poetry
  • make

See the ScyllaDB Sphinx Theme prerequisites to check which versions of the above are currently required.

Mac OS X

You must have a working Homebrew in order to install the needed tools.

You also need the standard utility make.

Check if you have these two items with the following commands:

brew help
make -h

Linux Distributions

Building the user docs should work out of the box on most Linux distributions.

Windows

Use "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" for the same tools and capabilities as on Linux distributions.

Building the Docs

  1. Run make preview in the docs/ directory to build the documentation.
  2. Preview the built documentation locally at http://127.0.0.1:5500/.

Cleanup

You can clean up all the build products and auto-installed Python stuff with:

make pristine

Information for Contributors

If you are interested in contributing to Scylla docs, please read the Scylla open source page at http://www.scylladb.com/opensource/ and complete a Scylla contributor agreement if needed. We can only accept documentation pull requests if we have a contributor agreement on file for you.
