Tomasz Grabiec 97679002ee Merge 'Co-locate tablets of different tables' from Michael Litvak
Add the option to co-locate tablets of different tables. For example, a base table and its CDC table, or a local index.

main changes and ideas:
* "table group" - a set of one or more tables that should be co-located. (Example: base table and CDC table). A group consists of one base table and zero or more children tables.
* new column `base_table` in `system.tablets`: when creating a new table, it can be set to point to a base table, which the new table's tablets will be co-located with. when it's set, the tablet map information should be retrieved from the base table map. the child map doesn't contain per-tablet information.
* co-located tables always have the same tablet count and the same tablet replicas. each tablet operation - migration, resize, repair - is applied on all tablets in a synchronized manner by the topology coordinator.
* resize decision for a group is made by combining the per-table hints and comparing the average tablet size (over all tablets in the group) with the target tablet size.
* the tablets load balancer works with the base table as a representative of the group. it represents a single migration unit with some `group_size` that is taken into account.
* view tablets are co-located with base tablets when the partition keys match.

Fixes https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/17043

backport is not needed. this is preliminary work for support of MVs and CDC with tablets.

Closes scylladb/scylladb#22906

ScyllaDB Documentation

This repository contains the source files for ScyllaDB documentation.

  • The dev folder contains developer-oriented documentation related to the ScyllaDB code base. It is not published and is only available via GitHub.
  • All other folders and files contain user-oriented documentation related to ScyllaDB and are sources for docs.scylladb.com/manual.

To report a documentation bug or suggest an improvement, open an issue in GitHub issues for this project.

To contribute to the documentation, open a GitHub pull request.

Key Guidelines for Contributors

To prevent the build from failing:

  • If you add a new file, ensure it's added to an appropriate toctree, for example:

     .. toctree::
        :maxdepth: 2
        :hidden:
    
        Page X </folder1/article1>
        Page Y </folder1/article2>
        Your New Page </folder1/your-new-article>
    
  • Make sure the link syntax is correct. See the guidelines on creating links

  • Make sure the section headings are correct. See the guidelines on creating headings Note that the markup must be at least as long as the text in the heading. For example:

Building User Documentation

Prerequisites

  • Python
  • poetry
  • make

See the ScyllaDB Sphinx Theme prerequisites to check which versions of the above are currently required.

Mac OS X

You must have a working Homebrew in order to install the needed tools.

You also need the standard utility make.

Check if you have these two items with the following commands:

brew help
make -h

Linux Distributions

Building the user docs should work out of the box on most Linux distributions.

Windows

Use "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" for the same tools and capabilities as on Linux distributions.

Building the Docs

  1. Run make preview to build the documentation.
  2. Preview the built documentation locally at http://127.0.0.1:5500/.

Cleanup

You can clean up all the build products and auto-installed Python stuff with:

make pristine

If you are interested in contributing to Scylla docs, please read the Scylla open source page at http://www.scylladb.com/opensource/ and complete a Scylla contributor agreement if needed. We can only accept documentation pull requests if we have a contributor agreement on file for you.
