Botond Dénes b8797551eb Merge '[Backport 2025.1] Rack aware tablet merge colocation migration ' from Tomasz Grabiec
service: Introduce rack-aware co-location migrations for tablet merge

Merge co-location can emit migrations across racks even when RF=#racks,
reducing availability and affecting consistency of base-view pairing.

Given replica set of sibling tablets T0 and T1 below:
[T0: (rack1,rack3,rack2)]
[T1: (rack2,rack1,rack3)]

Merge will co-locate T1:rack2 into T0:rack1, T1 will be temporarily only at
only a subset of racks, reducing availability.

This is the main problem fixed by this patch.

It also lays the ground for consistent base-view replica pairing,
which is rack-based. For tables on which views can be created we plan
to enforce the constraint that replicas don't move across racks and
that all tablets use the same set of racks (RF=#racks). This patch
avoids moving replicas across racks unless it's necessary, so if the
constraint is satisfied before merge, there will be no co-locating
migrations across racks. This constraint of RF=#racks is not enforced
yet, it requires more extensive changes.

Fixes #22994.
Refs #17265.

This patch is based on Raphael's work done in PR #23081. The main differences are:

1) Instead of sorting replicas by rack, we try to find
    replicas in sibling tablets which belong to the same rack.
    This is similar to how we match replicas within the same host.
    It reduces number of across-rack migrations even if RF!=#racks,
    which the original patch didn't handle.
    Unlike the original patch, it also avoids rack-overloaded in case
    RF!=#racks

2) We emit across-rack co-locating migrations if we have no other choice
   in order to finalize the merge

   This is ok, since views are not supported with tablets yet. Later,
   we will disallow this for tables which have views, and we will
   allow creating views in the first place only when no such migrations
   can happen (RF=#racks).

3) Added boost unit test which checks that rack overload is avoided during merge
   in case RF<#racks

4) Moved logging of across-rack migration to debug level

5) Exposed metric for across-rack co-locating migrations

(cherry picked from commit af949f3b6a)

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>

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 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
