When a scaling out is delayed or fails, it is crucial to ensure that clusters remain operational
and recoverable even under extreme conditions. To achieve this, the following proactive measures
are implemented:
- reject writes
- includes: inserts, updates, deletes, counter updates, hints, read+repair and lwt writes
- applicable to: user tables, views, CDC log, audit, cql tracing
- stop running compactions/repairs and prevent from starting new ones
- reject incoming tablet migrations
The aforementioned mechanisms are automatically enabled when node's disk utilization reaches
the critical level (default: 98%) and disabled when the utilization drop below the threshold.
Apart from that, the series add tests that require mounted volumes to simulate out of space.
The paths to the volumes can be provided using the a pytest argument, i.e. `--space-limited-dirs`.
When not provided, tests are skipped.
Test scenarios:
1. Start a cluster and write data until one of the nodes reaches 90% of the disk utilization
2. Perform an **operation** that would take the nodes over 100%
3. The nodes should not exceed the critical disk utilization (98% by default)
4. Scale out the cluster by adding one node per rack
5. Retry or wait for the **operation** from step 2
The **operation** is: writing data, running compactions, building materialized views, running repair,
migrating tablets (caused by RF change, decommission).
The test is successful, if no nodes run out of space, the **operation** from step 2 is
aborted/paused/timed out and the **operation** from step 5 is successful.
