When stopping the read, the multishard reader will dismantle the compaction state, pushing back (unpopping) the currently processed partition's header to its originating reader. This ensures that if the reader stops in the middle of a partition, on the next page the partition-header is re-emitted as the compactor (and everything downstream from it) expects. It can happen however that there is nothing more for the current partition in the reader and the next fragment is another partition. Since we only push back the partition header (without a partition-end) this can result in two partitions being emitted without being separated by a partition end. We could just add the missing partition-end when needed but it is pointless, if the partition has no more data, just drop the header, we won't need it on the next page. The missing partition-end can generate an "IDL frame truncated" message as it ends up causing the query result writer to create a corrupt partition entry. Fixes: https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/9482 Closes #11912 * github.com:scylladb/scylladb: test/cql-pytest: add regression test for "IDL frame truncated" error mutation_compactor: detach_state(): make it no-op if partition was exhausted
Single-node functional tests for Scylla's CQL features.
These tests use the Python CQL library and the pytest frameworks. By using an actual CQL library for the tests, they can be run against any implementation of CQL - both Scylla and Cassandra. Most tests - except in rare cases - should pass on both, to ensure that Scylla is compatible with Cassandra in most features.
To run all tests against an already-running local installation of Scylla
or Cassandra on localhost, just run pytest. The "--host" and "--port"
can be used to give a different location for the running Scylla or Cassanra.
The "--ssl" option can be used to use an encrypted (TLSv1.2) connection.
More conveniently, we have two scripts - "run" and "run-cassandra" - which do all the work necessary to start Scylla or Cassandra (respectively), and run the tests on them. The Scylla or Cassandra process is run in a temporary directory which is automatically deleted when the test ends.
"run" automatically picks the most recently compiled version of Scylla in
build/*/scylla - but this choice of Scylla executable can be overridden with
the SCYLLA environment variable. "run-cassandra" defaults to running the
command cassandra from the user's path, but this can be overriden by setting
the CASSANDRA environment variable to the path of the cassandra script,
e.g., export CASSANDRA=$HOME/apache-cassandra-3.11.10/bin/cassandra.
A few of the tests also require the nodetool when running on Cassandra -
this tool is again expected to be in the user's path, or be overridden with
the NODETOOL environment variable. Nodetool is not needed to test
Scylla.
Additional options can be passed to "pytest" or to "run" / "run-cassandra" to control which tests to run:
- To run all tests in a single file, do
pytest test_table.py. - To run a single specific test, do
pytest test_table.py::test_create_table_unsupported_names. - To run the same test or tests 100 times, add the
--count=100option. This is faster than runningrun100 times, because Scylla is only run once, and also counts for you how many of the runs failed. Forpytestto support the--countoption, you need to install a pytest extension:pip install pytest-repeat
Additional useful pytest options, especially useful for debugging tests:
- -v: show the names of each individual test running instead of just dots.
- -s: show the full output of running tests (by default, pytest captures the test's output and only displays it if a test fails)
