Tomasz Grabiec effb9fb3cb Merge 'Don't calculate hashes for schema versions in Raft mode' from Kamil Braun
When performing a schema change through group 0, extend the schema mutations with a version that's persisted and then used by the nodes in the cluster in place of the old schema digest, which becomes horribly slow as we perform more and more schema changes (#7620).

If the change is a table create or alter, also extend the mutations with a version for this table to be used for `schema::version()`s instead of having each node calculate a hash which is susceptible to bugs (#13957).

When performing a schema change in Raft RECOVERY mode we also extend schema mutations which forces nodes to revert to the old way of calculating schema versions when necessary.

We can only introduce these extensions if all of the cluster understands them, so protect this code by a new cluster/schema feature, `GROUP0_SCHEMA_VERSIONING`.

Fixes: #7620
Fixes: #13957

This is a reincarnation of PR scylladb/scylladb#15331. The previous PR was reverted due to a bug it unmasked; the bug has now been fixed (scylladb/scylladb#16139). Some refactors from the previous PR were already merged separately, so this one is a bit smaller.

I have checked with @Lorak-mmk's reproducer (https://github.com/Lorak-mmk/udt_schema_change_reproducer -- many thanks for it!) that the originally exposed bug is no longer reproducing on this PR, and that it can still be reproduced if I revert the aforementioned fix on top of this PR.

Closes scylladb/scylladb#16242

Key Guidelines for Contributors

Creating Knowledge Base Articles

The kb/ directory holds source files for knowledge base articles in the Knowledge Base section of the ScyllaDB documentation.

The kb/kb_common subdirectory contains a template for knowledge base articles to help you create new articles.

To create a new knowledge base article (KB):

  1. Copy the kb-article-template.rst file from /kb/kb_common to /kb and rename it with a unique name.
  2. Open the new file and fill in the required information.
  3. Remove what is not needed.
  4. Run make preview to build the docs and preview them locally.
  5. Send a PR with "KB" in its title.

Building User Documentation

Prerequisites

  • Python 3. Check your version with $ python --version.
  • poetry 1.12 or later
  • make

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
