In column_family.cc and storage_service.cc there exist a bunch of helpers that parse and/or validate ks/cf names, and different endpoints use different combinations of those, duplicating the functionality of each other and generating some mess. This PR cleans the endpoints from column_family.cc that parse and validate fully qualified table name (the '$ks:$cf' string).
A visible "improvement" is that `validate_table()` helper usage in the api/ directory is narrowed down to storage_service.cc file only (with the intent to remove that helper completely), and the aforementioned `for_tables_on_all_shards()` helper becomes shorter and tiny bit faster, because it doesn't perform some re-lookups of tables, that had been performed by validation sanity checks before it.
There's more to be done in those helpers, this PR wraps only one part of this mess.
Below is the list of endpoints this PR affects and the tests that validate the changes:
|endpoint|test|
|-|-|
|column_family/autocompaction|rest_api/test_column_family::test_column_family_auto_compaction_table|
|column_family/tombstone_gc|rest_api/test_column_family::test_column_family_tombstone_gc_api|
|column_family/compaction_strategy|rest_api/test_column_family/test_column_family_compaction_strategy|
|compaction_manager/stop_keyspace_compaction/|rest_api/test_compaction_manager::{test_compaction_manager_stop_keyspace_compaction,test_compaction_manager_stop_keyspace_compaction_tables}|

Scylla
What is Scylla?
Scylla is the real-time big data database that is API-compatible with Apache Cassandra and Amazon DynamoDB. Scylla embraces a shared-nothing approach that increases throughput and storage capacity to realize order-of-magnitude performance improvements and reduce hardware costs.
For more information, please see the ScyllaDB web site.
Build Prerequisites
Scylla is fairly fussy about its build environment, requiring very recent versions of the C++23 compiler and of many libraries to build. The document HACKING.md includes detailed information on building and developing Scylla, but to get Scylla building quickly on (almost) any build machine, Scylla offers a frozen toolchain, This is a pre-configured Docker image which includes recent versions of all the required compilers, libraries and build tools. Using the frozen toolchain allows you to avoid changing anything in your build machine to meet Scylla's requirements - you just need to meet the frozen toolchain's prerequisites (mostly, Docker or Podman being available).
Building Scylla
Building Scylla with the frozen toolchain dbuild is as easy as:
$ git submodule update --init --force --recursive
$ ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./configure.py
$ ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ninja build/release/scylla
For further information, please see:
- Developer documentation for more information on building Scylla.
- Build documentation on how to build Scylla binaries, tests, and packages.
- Docker image build documentation for information on how to build Docker images.
Running Scylla
To start Scylla server, run:
$ ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./build/release/scylla --workdir tmp --smp 1 --developer-mode 1
This will start a Scylla node with one CPU core allocated to it and data files stored in the tmp directory.
The --developer-mode is needed to disable the various checks Scylla performs at startup to ensure the machine is configured for maximum performance (not relevant on development workstations).
Please note that you need to run Scylla with dbuild if you built it with the frozen toolchain.
For more run options, run:
$ ./tools/toolchain/dbuild ./build/release/scylla --help
Testing
See test.py manual.
Scylla APIs and compatibility
By default, Scylla is compatible with Apache Cassandra and its API - CQL. There is also support for the API of Amazon DynamoDB™, which needs to be enabled and configured in order to be used. For more information on how to enable the DynamoDB™ API in Scylla, and the current compatibility of this feature as well as Scylla-specific extensions, see Alternator and Getting started with Alternator.
Documentation
Documentation can be found here. Seastar documentation can be found here. User documentation can be found here.
Training
Training material and online courses can be found at Scylla University. The courses are free, self-paced and include hands-on examples. They cover a variety of topics including Scylla data modeling, administration, architecture, basic NoSQL concepts, using drivers for application development, Scylla setup, failover, compactions, multi-datacenters and how Scylla integrates with third-party applications.
