Commit 2150c0f7a2 proposed by issue #5619
added a limitation that USING TIMESTAMP cannot be more than 3 days into
the future. But the actual code used to check it,
timestamp - now > MAX_DIFFERENCE
only makes sense for *positive* timestamps. For negative timestamps,
which are allowed in Cassandra, the difference "timestamp - now" might
overflow the signed integer and the result is undefined - leading to the
undefined-behavior sanitizer to complain as reported in issue #8895.
Beyond the sanitizer, in practice, on my test setup, the timestamp -2^63+1
causes such overflow, which causes the above if() to make the nonsensical
statement that the timestamp is more than 3 days into the future.
This patch assumes that negative timestamps of any magnitude are still
allowed (as they are in Cassandra), and fixes the above if() to only
check timestamps which are in the future (timestamp > now).
We also add a cql-pytest test for negative timestamps, passing on both
Cassandra and Scylla (after this patch - it failed before, and also
reported sanitizer errors in the debug build).

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)
