This patchseries is part of my effort to make resharding less special -
and hopefully less problematic. The next steps are a bit heavy, so I'd
like to, if possible, get this out of the way.
After these two patches, there is no more need to ever call
reshard_sstables: compact_sstables will do, and it will be able to
recognize resharding compactions.
To do that we need to unify the creator function, which is trivially
done by adding a shard parameter to regular compactions as well: they
can just ignore it. I have considered just making the
compaction_descriptor have a virtual create() function and specializing
it, but because we have to store the creator in the compaction object I
decided to keep the virtual function for now.
In a later cleanup step, if we can for instance store the entire
compaction_descriptor object in the compaction object we could do that.
