Sometimes a single modification to a base partition requires updates to
a large number of view rows. A common example is deletion of a base
partition containing many rows. A large BATCH is also possible.
To avoid large allocations, we split the large amount of work into
batch of 100 (max_rows_for_view_updates) rows each. The existing code
assumed an empty result from one of these batches meant that we are
done. But this assumption was incorrect: There are several cases when
a base-table update may not need a view update to be generated (see
can_skip_view_updates()) so if all 100 rows in a batch were skipped,
the view update stopped prematurely. This patch includes two tests
showing when this bug can happen - one test using a partition deletion
with a USING TIMESTAMP causing the deletion to not affect the first
100 rows, and a second test using a specially-crafed large BATCH.
These use cases are fairly esoteric, but in fact hit a user in the
wild, which led to the discovery of this bug.
The fix is fairly simple: To detect when build_some() is done it is no
longer enough to check if it returned zero view-update rows; Rather,
it explicitly returns whether or not it is done as an std::optional.
The patch includes several tests for this bug, which pass on Cassandra,
failed on Scylla before this patch, and pass with this patch.
Fixes #12297.

Single-node functional tests for Scylla's CQL features.
These 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.
The "--ssl" option can be used to use an encrypted (TLSv1.2) connection.
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.
"run" automatically picks the most recently compiled version of Scylla in
build/*/scylla - but this choice of Scylla executable can be overridden with
the SCYLLA environment variable. "run-cassandra" defaults to running the
command cassandra from the user's path, but this can be overriden by setting
the CASSANDRA environment variable to the path of the cassandra script,
e.g., export CASSANDRA=$HOME/apache-cassandra-3.11.10/bin/cassandra.
A few of the tests also require the nodetool when running on Cassandra -
this tool is again expected to be in the user's path, or be overridden with
the NODETOOL environment variable. Nodetool is not needed to test
Scylla.
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. - To run the same test or tests 100 times, add the
--count=100option. This is faster than runningrun100 times, because Scylla is only run once, and also counts for you how many of the runs failed. Forpytestto support the--countoption, you need to install a pytest extension:pip install pytest-repeat
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)
