We currently make the local node the only token owner (that owns the
whole ring) in maintenance mode, but we don't update the topology properly.
The node is present in the topology, but in the `none` state. That's how
it's inserted by `tm.get_topology().set_host_id_cfg(host_id);` in
`scylla_main`. As a result, the node started in maintenance mode crashes
in the following way in the presence of a vnodes-based keyspace with the
NetworkTopologyStrategy:
```
scylla: locator/network_topology_strategy.cc:207:
locator::natural_endpoints_tracker::natural_endpoints_tracker(
const token_metadata &, const network_topology_strategy::dc_rep_factor_map &):
Assertion `!_token_owners.empty() && !_racks.empty()' failed.
```
Both `_token_owners` and `_racks` are empty. The reason is that
`_tm.get_datacenter_token_owners()` and
`_tm.get_datacenter_racks_token_owners()` called above filter out nodes
in the `none` state.
This bug basically made maintenance mode unusable in customer clusters.
We fix it by changing the node state to `normal`.
We also extend `test_maintenance_mode` to provide a reproducer for #27988
and to avoid similar bugs in the future.
Fixes #27988
This PR must be backported to all branches, as maintenance mode is
currently unusable everywhere.

Scylla
What is Scylla?
Scylla is the real-time big data database that is API-compatible with Apache Cassandra and Amazon DynamoDB. Scylla embraces a shared-nothing approach that increases throughput and storage capacity to realize order-of-magnitude performance improvements and reduce hardware costs.
For more information, please see the ScyllaDB web site.
Build Prerequisites
Scylla is fairly fussy about its build environment, requiring very recent versions of the C++23 compiler and of many libraries to build. The document HACKING.md includes detailed information on building and developing Scylla, but to get Scylla building quickly on (almost) any build machine, Scylla offers a frozen toolchain, This is a pre-configured Docker image which includes recent versions of all the required compilers, libraries and build tools. Using the frozen toolchain allows you to avoid changing anything in your build machine to meet Scylla's requirements - you just need to meet the frozen toolchain's prerequisites (mostly, Docker or Podman being available).
Building Scylla
Building Scylla with the frozen toolchain dbuild is as easy as:
$ git submodule update --init --force --recursive
$ ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./configure.py
$ ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ninja build/release/scylla
For further information, please see:
- Developer documentation for more information on building Scylla.
- Build documentation on how to build Scylla binaries, tests, and packages.
- Docker image build documentation for information on how to build Docker images.
Running Scylla
To start Scylla server, run:
$ ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./build/release/scylla --workdir tmp --smp 1 --developer-mode 1
This will start a Scylla node with one CPU core allocated to it and data files stored in the tmp directory.
The --developer-mode is needed to disable the various checks Scylla performs at startup to ensure the machine is configured for maximum performance (not relevant on development workstations).
Please note that you need to run Scylla with dbuild if you built it with the frozen toolchain.
For more run options, run:
$ ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./build/release/scylla --help
Testing
See test.py manual.
Scylla APIs and compatibility
By default, Scylla is compatible with Apache Cassandra and its API - CQL. There is also support for the API of Amazon DynamoDB™, which needs to be enabled and configured in order to be used. For more information on how to enable the DynamoDB™ API in Scylla, and the current compatibility of this feature as well as Scylla-specific extensions, see Alternator and Getting started with Alternator.
Documentation
Documentation can be found here. Seastar documentation can be found here. User documentation can be found here.
Training
Training material and online courses can be found at Scylla University. The courses are free, self-paced and include hands-on examples. They cover a variety of topics including Scylla data modeling, administration, architecture, basic NoSQL concepts, using drivers for application development, Scylla setup, failover, compactions, multi-datacenters and how Scylla integrates with third-party applications.
