Dawid Mędrek c0f7622d12 service/qos: Do not crash Scylla if auth_integration absent
If the user connects to Scylla via the maintenance socket, it may happen
that `auth_integration` has not been registered in the service level
controller yet. One example is maintenance mode when that will never
happen; another when the connection occurs before Scylla is fully
initialized.

To avoid unnecessary crashes, we add new branches if the passed user is
absent or if it corresponds to the anonymous role. Since the role
corresponding to a connection via the maintenance socket is the anonymous
role, that solves the problem.

In those cases, we completely circumvent any calls to `auth_integration`
and handle them separately. The modified methods are:

* `get_user_scheduling_group`,
* `with_user_service_level`,
* `describe_service_levels`.

For the first two, the new behavior is in line with the previous
implementation of those functions. The last behaves differently now,
but since it's a soft error, crashing the node is not necessary anyway.
We throw an exception instead, whose error message should give the user
a hint of what might be wrong.

The other uses of `auth_integration` within the service level controller
are not problematic:

* `find_effective_service_level`,
* `find_cached_effective_service_level`.

They take the name of a role as their argument. Since the anonymous role
doesn't have a name, it's not possible to call them with it.

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 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.
