Kamil Braun 060f2de14e Merge 'Cluster features on raft: new procedure for joining group 0' from Piotr Dulikowski
This PR implements a new procedure for joining nodes to group 0, based on the description in the "Cluster features on Raft (v2)" document. This is a continuation of the previous PRs related to cluster features on raft (https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/pull/14722, https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/pull/14232), and the last piece necessary to replace cluster feature checks in gossip.

Current implementation relies on gossip shadow round to fetch the set of enabled features, determine whether the node supports all of the enabled features, and joins only if it is safe. As we are moving management of cluster features to group 0, we encounter a problem: the contents of group 0 itself may depend on features, hence it is not safe to join it unless we perform the feature check which depends on information in group 0. Hence, we have a dependency cycle.

In order to solve this problem, the algorithm for joining group 0 is modified, and verification of features and other parameters is offloaded to an existing node in group 0. Instead of directly asking the discovery leader to unconditionally add the node to the configuration with `GROUP0_MODIFY_CONFIG`, two different RPCs are added: `JOIN_NODE_REQUEST` and `JOIN_NODE_RESPONSE`. The main idea is as follows:

- The new node sends `JOIN_NODE_REQUEST` to the discovery leader. It sends a bunch of information describing the node, including supported cluster features. The discovery leader verifies some of the parameters and adds the node in the `none` state to `system.topology`.
- The topology coordinator picks up the request for the node to be joined (i.e. the node in `none` state), verifies its properties - including cluster features - and then:
	- If the node is accepted, the coordinator transitions it to `boostrap`/`replace` state and transitions the topology to `join_group0` state. The node is added to group 0 and then `JOIN_NODE_RESPONSE` is sent to it with information that the node was accepted.
	- Otherwise, the node is moved to `left` state, told by the coordinator via `JOIN_NODE_RESPONSE` that it was rejected and it shuts down.

The procedure is not retryable - if a node fails to do it from start to end and crashes in between, it will not be allowed to retry it with the same host_id - `JOIN_NODE_REQUEST` will fail. The data directory must be cleared before attempting to add it again (so that a new host_id is generated).

More details about the procedure and the RPC are described in `topology-over-raft.md`.

Fixes: #15152

Closes scylladb/scylladb#15196

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
