The table lists connected clients. For this the clients are
stored in real table when they connect, update their statuses
when needed and remove^w tombstone themselves when they
disconnect. On start the whole table is cleared.
This looks weird. Here's another approach (inspired by the
hackathon project) that makes this table a pure virtual one.
The schema is preserved so is the data returned.
The benefits of doing it virtual are
- no on-disk updates while processing clients
- no potentially failing updates on non-failing disconnect
- less usage of the global qctx thing
- less calls to global storage_proxy
- simpler support for thrift and alternator clients (today's
table implementation doesn't track them)
- the need to make virtual tables reg/unreg dynamic
branch: https://github.com/xemul/scylla/tree/br-clients-virtual-table-4
tests: manual(dev), unit(dev)
The manual test used 80-shards node and 1M connections from
1k different IP addresses.
