Piotr Dulikowski 5f55787e50 Merge 'CDC with tablets' from Michael Litvak
initial implementation to support CDC in tablets-enabled keyspaces.

The design is described in https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qO5f2q5QoN5z1-rYOQFu6tqVLD3Ha6pphXKEqbtSNiU/edit?usp=sharing
It is followed closely for the most part except "Deciding when to change streams" - instead, streams are changed synchronously with tablet split / merge.
Instead of the stream switching algorithm with the double writes, we use a scheme similar to the previous method for vnodes - we add the new streams with timestamp that is sufficiently far into the future.

In this PR we:
* add new group0-based internal system tables for tablet stream metadata and loading it into in-memory CDC metadata
* add virtual tables for CDC consumers
* the write coordinator chooses a stream by looking up the appropriate stream in the CDC metadata
* enable creating tables with CDC enabled in tablets-enabled keyspaces. tablets are allocated for the CDC table, and a stream is created per each tablet.
* on tablet resize (split / merge), the topology coordinator creates a new stream set with a new stream for each new tablet.
* the cdc tablets are co-located with the base tablets

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.
