The PRUNE MATERALIZED VIEW statement is performed as follows:
1. Perform a range scan of the view table from the view replicas based
on the ranges specified in the statement.
2. While reading the paged scan above, for each view row perform a read
from all base replicas at the corresponding primary key. If a discrepancy
is detected, delete the row in the view table.
When reading multiple rows, this is very slow because for each view row
we need to performe a single row query on multiple replicas.
In this patch we add an option to speed this up by performing many of the
single base row reads concurrently, at the concurrency specified in the
USING CONCURRENCY clause.
Aside from the unit test, I checked manually on a 3-node cluster with 10M rows, using vnodes. There were actually no ghost rows in the test, but we still had to iterate over all view rows and read the corresponding base rows. And actual ghost rows, if there are any, should be a tiny fraction of all rows. I compared concurrencies 1,2,10,100 and the results were:
* Pruning with concurrency 1 took total 1416 seconds
* Pruning with concurrency 2 took total 731 seconds
* Pruning with concurrency 10 took total 234 seconds
* Pruning with concurrency 100 took total 171 seconds
So after a concurrency of 10 or so we're hitting diminishing returns (at least in this setup). At that point we may be no longer bottlenecked by the reads, but by CPU on the shard that's handling the PRUNE
