Tomasz Grabiec 9daed59af9 Merge 'Tablet-aware restore' from Pavel Emelyanov
The mechanics of the restore is like this

- A /storage_service/tablets/restore API is called with (keyspace, table, endpoint, bucket, manifests) parameters
  - First, it populates the system_distributed.snapshot_sstables table with the data read from the manifests
  - Then it emplaces a bunch of tablet transitions (of a new "restore" kind), one for each tablet
- The topology coordinator handles the "restore" transition by calling a new RESTORE_TABLET RPC against all the current tablet replicas
- Each replica handles the RPC verb by
  - Reading the snapshot_sstables table
  - Filtering the read sstable infos against current node and tablet being handled
  - Downloading and attaching the filtered sstables

This PR includes system_distributed.snapshot_sstables table from @robertbindar and preparation work from @kreuzerkrieg that extracts raw sstables downloading and attaching from existing generic sstables loading code.

This is first step towards SCYLLADB-197 and lacks many things. In particular
- the API only works for single-DC cluster
- the caller needs to "lock" tablet boundaries with min/max tablet count
- not abortable
- no progress tracking
- sub-optimal (re-kicking API on restore will re-download everything again)
- not re-attacheable (if API node dies, restoration proceeds, but the caller cannot "wait" for it to complete via other node)
- nodes download sstables in maintenance/streaming sched gorup (should be moved to maintenance/backup)

Other follow-up items:
- have an actual swagger object specification for `backup_location`

Closes #28436
Closes #28657

ScyllaDB Documentation

This repository contains the source files for ScyllaDB 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 and are sources for docs.scylladb.com/manual.

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

To prevent the build from failing:

  • If you add a new file, ensure it's added to an appropriate toctree, for example:

     .. toctree::
        :maxdepth: 2
        :hidden:
    
        Page X </folder1/article1>
        Page Y </folder1/article2>
        Your New Page </folder1/your-new-article>
    
  • Make sure the link syntax is correct. See the guidelines on creating links

  • Make sure the section headings are correct. See the guidelines on creating headings Note that the markup must be at least as long as the text in the heading. For example:

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 in the docs/ directory 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
