storage_service: Introduce load_and_stream
=== Introduction ===
This feature extends the nodetool refresh to allow loading arbitrary sstables
that do not belong to a node into the cluster. It loads the sstables from disk
and calculates the owning nodes of the data and streams to the owners
automatically.
From example, say the old cluster has 6 nodes and the new cluster has 3 nodes.
We can copy the sstables from the old cluster to any of the new nodes and
trigger the load and stream process.
This can make restores and migrations much easier.
=== Performance ===
I managed to get 40MB/s per shard on my build machine.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1800X Eight-Core Processor
DISK: Samsung SSD 970 PRO 512GB
Assume 1TB sstables per node, each shard can do 40MB/s, each node has 32
shards, we can finish the load and stream 1TB of data in 13 mins on each
node.
1TB / 40 MB per shard * 32 shard / 60 s = 13 mins
=== Tests ===
backup_restore_tests.py:TestBackupRestore.load_and_stream_to_new_cluster_test
which creates a cluster with 4 nodes and inserts data, then use
load_and_stream to restore to a 2 nodes cluster.
=== Usage ===
curl -X POST "http://{ip}:10000/storage_service/sstables/{keyspace}?cf={table}&load_and_stream=true
=== Notes ===
Btw, with the old nodetool refresh, the node will not pick up the data
that does not belong to this node but it will not delete it either. One
has to run nodetool cleanup to remove those data manually which is a
surprise to me and probably to users as well. With load and stream, the
process will delete the sstables once it finishes stream, so no nodetool
cleanup is needed.
The name of this feature load and stream follows load and store in CPU world.
