Pavel Emelyanov f47f2db710 Merge 'Support local primary-replica-only for native restore' from Robert Bindar
This PR extends the restore API so that it accepts primary_replica_only as parameter and it combines the concepts of primary-replica-only with scoped streaming so that with:
- `scope=all primary_replica_only=true` The restoring node will stream to the global primary replica only
- `scope=dc primary_replica_only=true` The restoring node will stream to the local primary replica only.
- `scope=rack primary_replica_only=true` The restoring node will stream only to the primary replica from within its own rack (with rf=#racks, the restoring node will stream only to itself)
- `scope=node primary_replica_only=true` is not allowed, the restoring node will always stream only to itself so the primary_replica_only parameter wouldn't make sense.

The PR also adjusts the `nodetool refresh` restriction on running restore with both primary_replica_only and scope, it adds primary_replica_only to `nodetool restore` and it adds cluster tests for primary replica within scope.

Fixes #26584

Closes scylladb/scylladb#26609

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 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

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
