Nadav Har'El 0cd05dd0fd cql-pytest: add tests for ALLOW FILTERING
The original goal of this patch was to replace the two single-node dtests
allow_filtering_test and allow_filtering_secondary_indexes_test, which
recently caused us problems when we wanted to change the ALLOW FILTERING
behavior but the tests were outside the tree. I'm hoping that after this
patch, those two tests could be removed from dtest.

But this patch actually tests more cases then those original dtest, and
moreover tests not just whether ALLOW FILTERING is required or not, but
also that the results of the filtering is correct.

Currently, four of the included tests are expected to fail ("xfail") on
Scylla, reproducing two issues:

1. Refs #5545:
   "WHERE x IN ..." on indexed column x wrongly requires ALLOW FILTERING
2. Refs #7608:
   "WHERE c=1" on clustering key c should require ALLOW FILTERING, but
   doesn't.

All tests, except the one for issue #5545, pass on Cassandra. That one
fails on Cassandra because doesn't support IN on an indexed column at all
(regardless of whether ALLOW FILTERING is used or not).

Single-node funtional tests for Scylla's CQL features. Tests use the Python CQL library and the pytest frameworks. By using an actual CQL library for the tests, they can be run against any implementation of CQL - both Scylla and Cassandra. Most tests - except in rare cases - should pass on both, to ensure that Scylla is compatible with Cassandra in most features.

To run all tests against an already-running local installation of Scylla or Cassandra on localhost, just run pytest. The "--host" and "--port" can be used to give a different location for the running Scylla or Cassanra.

More conveniently, we have two scripts - "run" and "run-cassandra" - which do all the work necessary to start Scylla or Cassandra (respectively), and run the tests on them. The Scylla or Cassandra process is run in a temporary directory which is automatically deleted when the test ends.

Additional options can be passed to "pytest" or to "run" / "run-cassandra" to control which tests to run:

  • To run all tests in a single file, do pytest test_table.py.
  • To run a single specific test, do pytest test_table.py::test_create_table_unsupported_names.

Additional useful pytest options, especially useful for debugging tests:

  • -v: show the names of each individual test running instead of just dots.
  • -s: show the full output of running tests (by default, pytest captures the test's output and only displays it if a test fails)
