Patryk Jędrzejczak 6489308ebc Merge 'Introduce a queue of global topology requests.' from Gleb Natapov
Currently only one global topology request (such as truncate, cdc repair, cleanup and alter table) can be pending. If one is already pending others will be rejected with an error. This is not very user friendly, so this series introduces a queue of global requests which allows queuing many global topology requests simultaneously.

Fixes: #16822

No need to backport since this is a new feature.

Closes scylladb/scylladb#24293

* https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb:
  topology coordinator: simplify truncate handling in case request queue feature is disable
  topology coordinator: fix indentation after the previous patch
  topology coordinator: allow running multiple global commands in parallel
  topology coordinator: Implement global topology request queue
  topology coordinator: Do not cancel global requests in cancel_all_requests
  topology coordinator: store request type for each global command
  topology request: make it possible to hold global request types in request_type field
  topology coordinator: move alter table global request parameters into topology_request table
  topology coordinator: move cleanup global command to report completion through topology_request table
  topology coordinator: no need to create updates vector explicitly
  topology coordinator: use topology_request_tracking_mutation_builder::done() instead of open code it
  topology coordinator: handle error during new_cdc_generation command processing
  topology coordinator: remove unneeded semicolon
  topology coordinator: fix indentation after the last commit
  topology coordinator: move new_cdc_generation topology request to use topology_request table for completion
  gms/feature_service: add TOPOLOGY_GLOBAL_REQUEST_QUEUE feature flag

        :maxdepth: 2
        :hidden:
    
        Page X </folder1/article1>
        Page Y </folder1/article2>
        Your New Page </folder1/your-new-article>

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
