Pavel Emelyanov 57af69e15f Merge 'Add retries to the S3 client' from Ernest Zaslavsky
1. Add `retry_strategy` interface and default implementation for exponential back-off retry strategy.
2. Add new S3 related errors, also introduce additional errors to describe pure http errors that has no additional information in the body.
3. Add retries to the s3 client, all retries are coordinated by an instance of `retry_strategy`. In a case of error also parse response body in attempt to retrieve additional and more focused error information as suggested by AWS. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/ErrorResponses.html. Introduce `aws_exception` to carry the original `aws_error`.
4. Discard whatever exception is thrown in `abort_upload` when aborting multipart upload since we don't care about cleanly aborting it since there are other means to clean up dangling parts, for example `rclone cleanup` or S3 bucket's Lifecycle Management Policy.
5. Add tests to cover retries, and retry exhaustion. Also add tests for jumbo upload.
6. Add the S3 proxy which is used to randomly inject retryable S3 errors to test the "retry" part of the S3 client. Switch the `s3_test` to use the S3 proxy. `s3_tests` set afloat `put_object` problem that was causing segmentation when retrying, fixed.
7. Extend the `s3_test` to use both `minio` and `proxy` configurations.
8. Add parameter to the proxy to seed the error injection randomization to make it replayable.

Scylla unit tests using C++ and the Boost test framework

The source files in this directory are Scylla unit tests written in C++ using the Boost.Test framework. These unit tests come in three flavors:

  1. Some simple tests that check stand-alone C++ functions or classes use Boost's BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE.

  2. Some tests require Seastar features, and need to be declared with Seastar's extensions to Boost.Test, namely SEASTAR_TEST_CASE.

  3. Even more elaborate tests require not just a functioning Seastar environment but also a complete (or partial) Scylla environment. Those tests use the do_with_cql_env() or do_with_cql_env_thread() function to set up a mostly-functioning environment behaving like a single-node Scylla, in which the test can run.

While we have many tests of the third flavor, writing new tests of this type should be reserved to white box tests - tests where it is necessary to inspect or control Scylla internals that do not have user-facing APIs such as CQL. In contrast, black-box tests - tests that can be written only using user-facing APIs, should be written in one of newer test frameworks that we offer - such as test/cqlpy or test/alternator (in Python, using the CQL or DynamoDB APIs respectively) or test/cql (using textual CQL commands), or - if more than one Scylla node is needed for a test - using the test/topology* framework.

Running tests

Because these are C++ tests, they need to be compiled before running. To compile a single test executable row_cache_test, use a command like

ninja build/dev/test/boost/row_cache_test

You can also use ninja dev-test to build all C++ tests, or use ninja deb-build to build the C++ tests and also the full Scylla executable (however, note that full Scylla executable isn't needed to run Boost tests).

Replace "dev" by "debug" or "release" in the examples above and below to use the "debug" build mode (which, importantly, compiles the test with ASAN and UBSAN enabling on and helps catch difficult-to-catch use-after-free bugs) or the "release" build mode (optimized for run speed).

To run an entire test file row_cache_test, including all its test functions, use a command like:

build/dev/test/boost/row_cache_test -- -c1 -m1G 

to run a single test function test_reproduce_18045() from the longer test file, use a command like:

build/dev/test/boost/row_cache_test -t test_reproduce_18045 -- -c1 -m1G 

In these command lines, the parameters before the -- are passed to Boost.Test, while the parameters after the -- are passed to the test code, and in particular to Seastar. In this example Seastar is asked to run on one CPU (-c1) and use 1G of memory (-m1G) instead of hogging the entire machine. The Boost.Test option -t test_reproduce_18045 asks it to run just this one test function instead of all the test functions in the executable.

Unfortunately, interrupting a running test with control-C while doesn't work. This is a known bug (#5696). Kill a test with SIGKILL (-9) if you need to kill it while it's running.

Boost tests can also be run using test.py - which is a script that provides a uniform way to run all tests in scylladb.git - C++ tests, Python tests, etc.

Writing tests

Because of the large build time and build size of each separate test executable, it is recommended to put test functions into relatively large source files. But not too large - to keep compilation time of a single source file (during development) at reasonable levels.

When adding new source files in test/boost, don't forget to list the new source file in configure.py and also in CMakeLists.txt. The former is needed by our CI, but the latter is preferred by some developers.
