Dejan Mircevski 1fdaeca7d0 cql3: Reject updates with NULL key values
We were silently ignoring INSERTs with NULL values for primary-key
columns, which Cassandra rejects.  Fix it by rejecting any
modification_statement that would operate on empty partition or
clustering range.

This is the most direct fix, because range and slice are calculated in
one place for all modification statements.  It covers not only NULL
cases, but also impossible restrictions like c>0 AND c<0.
Unfortunately, Cassandra doesn't treat all modification statements
consistently, so this fix cannot fully match its behavior.  We err on
the side of tolerance, accepting some DELETE statements that Cassandra
rejects.  We add a TODO for rejecting such DELETEs later.

Fixes #7852.

Single-node functional tests for Scylla's CQL features.

These tests use the Python CQL library and the pytest frameworks. By using an actual CQL library for the tests, they can be run against any implementation of CQL - both Scylla and Cassandra. Most tests - except in rare cases - should pass on both, to ensure that Scylla is compatible with Cassandra in most features.

To run all tests against an already-running local installation of Scylla or Cassandra on localhost, just run pytest. The "--host" and "--port" can be used to give a different location for the running Scylla or Cassanra. The "--ssl" option can be used to use an encrypted (TLSv1.2) connection.

More conveniently, we have two scripts - "run" and "run-cassandra" - which do all the work necessary to start Scylla or Cassandra (respectively), and run the tests on them. The Scylla or Cassandra process is run in a temporary directory which is automatically deleted when the test ends.

"run" automatically picks the most recently compiled version of Scylla in build/*/scylla - but this choice of Scylla executable can be overridden with the SCYLLA environment variable. "run-cassandra" defaults to running the command cassandra from the user's path, but this can be overriden by setting the CASSANDRA environment variable to the path of the cassandra script, e.g., export CASSANDRA=$HOME/apache-cassandra-3.11.10/bin/cassandra. A few of the tests also require the nodetool when running on Cassandra - this tool is again expected to be in the user's path, or be overridden with the NODETOOL environment variable.

Additional options can be passed to "pytest" or to "run" / "run-cassandra" to control which tests to run:

  • To run all tests in a single file, do pytest test_table.py.
  • To run a single specific test, do pytest test_table.py::test_create_table_unsupported_names.

Additional useful pytest options, especially useful for debugging tests:

  • -v: show the names of each individual test running instead of just dots.
  • -s: show the full output of running tests (by default, pytest captures the test's output and only displays it if a test fails)
