Kamil Braun 89ee2a6834 Merge 'drop ip addresses from token metadata' from Gleb
Now that all topology related code uses host ids there is not point to
maintain ip to id (and back) mappings in the token metadata. After the
patch the mapping will be maintained in the gossiper only. The rest of
the system will use host ids and in rare cases where translation is
needed (mostly for UX compatibility reasons) the translation will be
done using gossiper.

Fixes: scylladb/scylla#21777

* 'gleb/drop-ip-from-tm-v3' of github.com:scylladb/scylla-dev: (57 commits)
  hint manager: do not translate ip to id in case hint manager is stopped already
  locator: token_metadata: drop update_host_id() function that does nothing now
  locator: topology: drop indexing by ips
  repair: drop unneeded code
  storage_service: use host_id to look for a node in on_alive handler
  storage_proxy: translate ips to ids in forward array using gossiper
  locator: topology: remove unused functions
  storage_service: check for outdated ip in on_change notification in the peers table
  storage_proxy: translate id to ip using address map in tablets's describe_ring code instead of taking one from the topology
  topology coordinator: change connection dropping code to work on host ids
  cql3: report host id instead of ip in error during SELECT FROM MUTATION_FRAGMENTS query
  locator: drop unused function from tablet_effective_replication_map
  api: view_build_statuses: do not use IP from the topology, but translate id to ip using address map instead
  locator: token_metadata: remove unused ip based functions
  locator: network_topology_strategy: use host_id based function to check number of endpoints in dcs
  gossiper: drop get_unreachable_token_owners functions
  storage_service: use gossiper to map ip to id in node_ops operations
  storage_service: fix indentation after the last patch
  storage_service: drop loops from node ops replace_prepare handling since there can be only one replacing node
  token_metadata: drop no longer used functions

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.
