Botond Dénes 60570d7114 Merge 'topology coordinator: restrict node join/remove to preserve RF-rack validity' from Michael Litvak
Allow creating materialized views and secondary indexes in a tablets keyspace only if it's RF-rack-valid, and enforce RF-rack-validity while the keyspace has views by restricting some operations:
* Altering a keyspace's RF if it would make the keyspace RF-rack-invalid
* Adding a node in a new rack
* Removing / Decommissioning the last node in a rack

Previously the config option `rf_rack_valid_keyspaces` was required for creating views. We now remove this restriction - it's not needed because we always maintain RF-rack-validity for keyspaces with views.

The restrictions are relevant only for keyspaces with numerical RF. Keyspace with rack-list-based RF are always RF-rack-valid.

Fixes scylladb/scylladb#23345
Fixes https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/26820

backport to relevant versions for materialized views with tablets since it depends on rf-rack validity

Closes scylladb/scylladb#26354

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
