Avi Kivity a3d73bfba7 Merge 'Add support for decommission with tablets' from Tomasz Grabiec
Load balancer will recognize decommissioning nodes and will
move tablet replicas away from such nodes with highest priority.

Topology changes have now an extra step called "tablet draining" which
calls the load balancer. The step will execute tablet migration track
as long as there are nodes which require draining. It will not do regular
load balancing.

If load balancer is unable to find new tablet replicas, because RF
cannot be met or availability is at risk due to insufficient node
distribution in racks, it will throw an exception. Currently, topology
change will retry in a loop. We should make this error cause topology
change to be aborted. There is no infrastructure for
aborts yet, so this is not implemented.

Closes #15197

ScyllaDB Documentation

This repository contains the source files for ScyllaDB Open Source 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 Open Source and are sources for docs.scylladb.com.

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

Creating Knowledge Base Articles

The kb/ directory holds source files for knowledge base articles in the Knowledge Base section of the ScyllaDB documentation.

The kb/kb_common subdirectory contains a template for knowledge base articles to help you create new articles.

To create a new knowledge base article (KB):

  1. Copy the kb-article-template.rst file from /kb/kb_common to /kb and rename it with a unique name.
  2. Open the new file and fill in the required information.
  3. Remove what is not needed.
  4. Run make preview to build the docs and preview them locally.
  5. Send a PR with "KB" in its title.

Building User Documentation

Prerequisites

  • Python 3. Check your version with $ python --version.
  • poetry 1.12 or later
  • make

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 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

Information for Contributors

If you are interested in contributing to Scylla docs, please read the Scylla open source page at http://www.scylladb.com/opensource/ and complete a Scylla contributor agreement if needed. We can only accept documentation pull requests if we have a contributor agreement on file for you.
