// ChangeReplicas atomically changes the replicas that are members of a range.
// The change is performed in a distributed transaction and takes effect when
// that transaction is committed. This transaction confirms that the supplied
// RangeDescriptor is up to date and that the supplied slice of
// ReplicationChanges is a valid transition, meaning that replicas being added
// are not present, that replicas being removed are present, that no replica is
// altered more than once, and that no attempt is made at removing the
// leaseholder (which in particular implies that we can never remove all
// replicas).
//
// The returned RangeDescriptor is the new value of the range's descriptor
// following the successful commit of the transaction.
//
// In general, ChangeReplicas will carry out the following steps.
//
// 1. Run a distributed transaction that adds all new replicas as learner replicas.
//    Learner replicas receive the log, but do not have voting rights. They are
//    used to catch up these new replicas before turning them into voters, which
//    is important for the continued availability of the range throughout the
//    replication change.
//
//    The distributed transaction updates both copies of the range descriptor
//    (the one on the range and that in the meta ranges) to that effect, and
//    commits with a special trigger instructing Raft (via ProposeConfChange) to
//    tie a corresponding replication configuration change which goes into
//    effect (on each replica) when the transaction commit is applied to the
//    state. Applying the command also updates each replica's local view of
//    the state to reflect the new descriptor.
//
//    If no replicas are being added, this first step is elided.
//
// 2. Send Raft snapshots to all learner replicas. This would happen
//    automatically by the existing recovery mechanisms (raft snapshot queue), but
//    it is done explicitly as a convenient way to ensure learners are caught up
//    before the next step is entered. (We ensure that work is not duplicated
//    between the snapshot queue and the explicit snapshot via the
//    snapshotLogTruncationConstraints map). Snapshots are subject to both
//    bandwidth rate limiting and throttling.
//
//    If no replicas are being added, this step is similarly elided.
//
// 3. Carry out a distributed transaction similar to that which added the
//    learner replicas, except this time it (atomically) changes all learners to
//    voters and removes any replicas for which this was requested. If only one
//    replica is being changed, raft can chose the simple configuration change
//    protocol; otherwise it has to use joint consensus. In this latter mechanism,
//    a first configuration change is made which results in a configuration ("joint
//    configuration") in which a quorum of both the old replicas and the new
//    replica sets is required for decision making. Transitioning into this joint
//    configuration, the RangeDescriptor (which is the source of truth of
//    the replication configuration) is updated with corresponding replicas of
//    type VoterIncoming and VoterOutgoing.
//    Immediately after committing this change, a second transition updates the
//    descriptor with and activates the final configuration.
//
// A replica that learns that it was removed will queue itself for replicaGC.
// Note that a removed replica may never apply the configuration change removing
// itself and thus this trigger may not fire. This is because said replica may
// not have been a part of the quorum that committed the configuration change;
// nodes that apply the change will stop sending messages to the removed
// replica. At that point, the removed replica will typically campaign (since it
// receives no more heartbeats from the leader) and its former peers respond via
// a RaftGroupDeletedError (from the Raft transport) as a signal to queue to
// replicaGC. This second mechanism fails if all peers have rapidly moved
// elsewhere as well; in that last and rare case, replica GC queue will
// eventually discover the replica on its own; it has optimizations that handle
// "abandoned-looking" replicas more eagerly than healthy ones.

// sendSnapshot sends a snapshot of the replica state to the specified replica.
// Currently only invoked from replicateQueue and raftSnapshotQueue. Be careful
// about adding additional calls as generating a snapshot is moderately
// expensive.
//
// A snapshot is a bulk transfer of all data in a range. It consists of a
// consistent view of all the state needed to run some replica of a range as of
// some applied index (not as of some mvcc-time). Snapshots are used by Raft
// when a follower is far enough behind the leader that it can no longer be
// caught up using incremental diffs (because the leader has already garbage
// collected the diffs, in this case because it truncated the Raft log past
// where the follower is).
//
// We also proactively send a snapshot when adding a new replica to bootstrap it
// (this is called a "learner" snapshot and is a special case of a Raft
// snapshot, we just speed the process along). It's called a learner snapshot
// because it's sent to what Raft terms a learner replica. As of 19.2, when we
// add a new replica, it's first added as a learner using a Raft ConfChange,
// which means it accepts Raft traffic but doesn't vote or affect quorum. Then
// we immediately send it a snapshot to catch it up. After the snapshot
// successfully applies, we turn it into a normal voting replica using another
// ConfChange. It then uses the normal mechanisms to catch up with whatever got
// committed to the Raft log during the snapshot transfer. In contrast to adding
// the voting replica directly, this avoids a period of fragility when the
// replica would be a full member, but very far behind. [1]
//
// Snapshots are expensive and mostly unexpected (except learner snapshots
// during rebalancing). The quota pool is responsible for keeping a leader from
// getting too far ahead of any of the followers, so ideally they'd never be far
// enough behind to need a snapshot.
//
// The snapshot process itself is broken into 3 parts: generating the snapshot,
// transmitting it, and applying it.
//
// Generating the snapshot: The data contained in a snapshot is a full copy of
// the replicated data plus everything the replica needs to be a healthy member
// of a Raft group. The former is large, so we send it via streaming rpc
// instead of keeping it all in memory at once. The `(Replica).GetSnapshot`
// method does the necessary locking and gathers the various Raft state needed
// to run a replica. It also creates an iterator for the range's data as it
// looked under those locks (this is powered by a RocksDB snapshot, which is a
// different thing but a similar idea). Notably, GetSnapshot does not do the
// data iteration.
//
// Transmitting the snapshot: The transfer itself happens over the grpc
// `RaftSnapshot` method, which is a bi-directional stream of `SnapshotRequest`s
// and `SnapshotResponse`s. The two sides are orchestrated by the
// `(RaftTransport).SendSnapshot` and `(Store).receiveSnapshot` methods.
//
// `SendSnapshot` starts up the streaming rpc and first sends a header message
// with everything but the range data and then blocks, waiting on the first
// streaming response from the recipient. This lets us short-circuit sending the
// range data if the recipient can't be contacted or if it can't use the
// snapshot (which is usually the result of a race). The recipient's grpc
// handler for RaftSnapshot sanity checks a few things and ends up calling down
// into `receiveSnapshot`, which does the bulk of the work. `receiveSnapshot`
// starts by waiting for a reservation in the snapshot rate limiter. It then
// reads the header message and hands it to `shouldAcceptSnapshotData` to
// determine if it can use the snapshot [2]. `shouldAcceptSnapshotData` is
// advisory and can return false positives. If `shouldAcceptSnapshotData`
// returns true, this is communicated back to the sender, which then proceeds to
// call `kvBatchSnapshotStrategy.Send`. This uses the iterator captured earlier
// to send the data in chunks, each chunk a streaming grpc message. The sender
// then sends a final message with an indicaton that it's done and blocks again,
// waiting for a second and final response from the recipient which indicates if
// the snapshot was a success.
//
// `receiveSnapshot` takes the key-value pairs sent and incrementally creates
// three SSTs from them for direct ingestion: one for the replicated range-ID
// local keys, one for the range local keys, and one for the user keys. The
// reason it creates three separate SSTs is to prevent overlaps with the
// memtable and existing SSTs in RocksDB. Each of the SSTs also has a range
// deletion tombstone to delete the existing data in the range.
//
// Applying the snapshot: After the recipient has received the message
// indicating it has all the data, it hands it all to
// `(Store).processRaftSnapshotRequest` to be applied. First, this re-checks
// the same things as `shouldAcceptSnapshotData` to make sure nothing has
// changed while the snapshot was being transferred. It then guarantees that
// there is either an initialized[3] replica or a `ReplicaPlaceholder`[4] to
// accept the snapshot by creating a placeholder if necessary. Finally, a *Raft
// snapshot* message is manually handed to the replica's Raft node (by calling
// `stepRaftGroup` + `handleRaftReadyRaftMuLocked`). During the application
// process, several other SSTs may be created for direct ingestion. An SST for
// the unreplicated range-ID local keys is created for the Raft entries, hard
// state, and truncated state. An SST is created for deleting each subsumed
// replica's range-ID local keys and at most two SSTs are created for deleting
// the user keys and range local keys of all subsumed replicas. All in all, a
// maximum of 6 + SR SSTs will be created for direct ingestion where SR is the
// number of subsumed replicas. In the case where there are no subsumed
// replicas, 4 SSTs will be created.
//
// [1]: There is a third kind of snapshot, called "preemptive", which is how we
// avoided the above fragility before learner replicas were introduced in the
// 19.2 cycle. It's essentially a snapshot that we made very fast by staging it
// on a remote node right before we added a replica on that node. However,
// preemptive snapshots came with all sorts of complexity that we're delighted
// to be rid of. They have to stay around for clusters with mixed 19.1 and 19.2
// nodes, but after 19.2, we can remove them entirely.
//
// [2]: The largest class of rejections here is if the store contains a replica
// that overlaps the snapshot but has a different id (we maintain an invariant
// that replicas on a store never overlap). This usually happens when the
// recipient has an old copy of a replica that is no longer part of a range and
// the `replicaGCQueue` hasn't gotten around to collecting it yet. So if this
// happens, `shouldAcceptSnapshotData` will queue it up for consideration.
//
// [3]: A uninitialized replica is created when a replica that's being added
// gets traffic from its new peers before it gets a snapshot. It may be possible
// to get rid of uninitialized replicas (by dropping all Raft traffic except
// votes on the floor), but this is a cleanup that hasn't happened yet.
//
// [4]: The placeholder is essentially a snapshot lock, making any future
// callers of `shouldAcceptSnapshotData` return an error so that we no longer
// have to worry about racing with a second snapshot. See the comment on
// ReplicaPlaceholder for details.
