Avi Kivity 72bbe75d5b Merge 'Fix node replace with tablets for RF=N' from Tomasz Grabiec
This PR fixes a problem with replacing a node with tablets when
RF=N. Currently, this will fail because tablet replica allocation for
rebuild will not be able to find a viable destination, as the replacing node
is not considered to be a candidate. It cannot be a candidate because
replace rolls back on failure and we cannot roll back after tablets
were migrated.

The solution taken here is to not drain tablet replicas from replaced
node during topology request but leave it to happen later after the
replaced node is in left state and replacing node is in normal state.

The replacing node waits for this draining to be complete on boot
before the node is considered booted.

Fixes https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/17025

Nodes in the left state will be kept in tablet replica sets for a while after node
replace is done, until the new replica is rebuilt. So we need to know
about those node's location (dc, rack) for two reasons:

 1) algorithms which work with replica sets filter nodes based on their location. For example materialized views code which pairs base replicas with view replicas filters by datacenter first.

 2) tablet scheduler needs to identify each node's location in order to make decisions about new replica placement.

It's ok to not know the IP, and we don't keep it. Those nodes will not
be present in the IP-based replica sets, e.g. those returned by
get_natural_endpoints(), only in host_id-based replica
sets. storage_proxy request coordination is not affected.

Nodes in the left state are still not present in token ring, and not
considered to be members of the ring (datacanter endpoints excludes them).

In the future we could make the change even more transparent by only
loading locator::node* for those nodes and keeping node* in tablet replica sets.

Currently left nodes are never removed from topology, so will
accumulate in memory. We could garbage-collect them from topology
coordinator if a left node is absent in any replica set. That means we
need a new state - left_for_real.

Closes scylladb/scylladb#17388

ScyllaDB Documentation

This repository contains the source files for ScyllaDB Open Source 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 Open Source and are sources for docs.scylladb.com.

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

Creating Knowledge Base Articles

The kb/ directory holds source files for knowledge base articles in the Knowledge Base section of the ScyllaDB documentation.

The kb/kb_common subdirectory contains a template for knowledge base articles to help you create new articles.

To create a new knowledge base article (KB):

  1. Copy the kb-article-template.rst file from /kb/kb_common to /kb and rename it with a unique name.
  2. Open the new file and fill in the required information.
  3. Remove what is not needed.
  4. Run make preview to build the docs and preview them locally.
  5. Send a PR with "KB" in its title.

Building User Documentation

Prerequisites

  • Python 3. Check your version with $ python --version.
  • poetry 1.12 or later
  • make

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

Information for Contributors

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.
