Pavel Emelyanov d83134a245 Merge '[branch-5.0] multishard_mutation_query: don't unpop partition header of spent partition' from Botond Dénes
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.

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=100 option. This is faster than running run 100 times, because Scylla is only run once, and also counts for you how many of the runs failed. For pytest to support the --count option, 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)
