This patch introduces a new test that exposed a previously unknown bug,
Refs #26914:
Recently we saw a lot of patches that change how we create new schemas
(keyspaces and tables), sometimes changing various long-time defaults.
We started to worry that perhaps some of these defaults were applied only
to CQL and not to Alternator. For example, in Refs #26307 we wondered if
perhaps the default "speculative_retry" option is different in Alternator
than in CQL.
This patch includes a new test file test/alternator/test_cql_schema.py,
with tests for verifying how Alternator configures the underlying tables
it creates. This test shows that the "speculative_retry" doesn't have
this suspected bug - it defaults to "99.0PERCENTILE" in both CQL and
Alternator. But unfortunately, we do have this bug with the "compression"
option:
It turns out that recently (commit adf9c42, Refs #26610) we changed the
default sstable compressor from LZ4Compressor to LZ4WithDictsCompressor,
but the change was only applied to CQL, not Alternator. So the test that
"compression" is the same in both fails - and marked "xfails" and
I created a new issue to track it - #26914.
Another test verifies that Alternators "auxiliary" tables - holding
GSIs, LSIs and Streams - have the same default properties as the base
table. This currently seems to hold (there is no bug).

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
