This patch introduces a new `incremental_mode` parameter to the tablet
repair REST API, providing more fine-grained control over the
incremental repair process.
Previously, incremental repair was on and could not be turned off. This
change allows users to select from three distinct modes:
- `regular`: This is the default mode. It performs a standard
incremental repair, processing only unrepaired sstables and skipping
those that are already repaired. The repair state (`repaired_at`,
`sstables_repaired_at`) is updated.
- `full`: This mode forces the repair to process all sstables, including
those that have been previously repaired. This is useful when a full
data validation is needed without disabling the incremental repair
feature. The repair state is updated.
- `disabled`: This mode completely disables the incremental repair logic
for the current repair operation. It behaves like a classic
(pre-incremental) repair, and it does not update any incremental
repair state (`repaired_at` in sstables or `sstables_repaired_at` in
the system.tablets table).
The implementation includes:
- Adding the `incremental_mode` parameter to the
`/storage_service/repair/tablet` API endpoint.
- Updating the internal repair logic to handle the different modes.
- Adding a new test case to verify the behavior of each mode.
- Updating the API documentation and developer documentation.
