[cassandra] 24/44: [CEP-21] Bulk update of unit and dtests

This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

samt pushed a commit to branch cep-21-tcm
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra.git

commit 0e323c96fb290946764cd21a0057b4942777c3d2
Author: Sam Tunnicliffe <sa...@apache.org>
AuthorDate: Mon Mar 6 10:57:04 2023 +0000

    [CEP-21] Bulk update of unit and dtests
    
    Updates the existing unit and and dtests to work with TCM. In the vast
    majority of cases, this just means changes to initialization or to
    slightly updated method signatures.
    
    In CEP-21 generally, the intention has been not to modify existing
    public interfaces at all and to limit any changes to code on the
    boundaries of internal subsystems. In addition, care has been taken to
    only make minimal modifications to existing tests, and to preserve their
    invariants. So although this commit is fairly large in terms of
    number of files, it's changes should be semantically quite light.

+     * There is a 2-node cluster and a TABLE_ONE created. The schema version is agreed on both nodes. Then the 2nd node
+     * is shutdown. We introduce a disagreement by dropping TABLE_ONE and creating TABLE_TWO on the 1st node. Therefore,
+     * the 1st node has a newer schema version with TABLE_TWO, while the shutdown 2nd node has older schema version with
+     * TABLE_ONE.
+     * <p>
+     * At this point, if we just started the 2nd node, it would sync its schema by getting fresh mutations from the 1st
+     * node which would result in both nodes having only the definition of TABLE_TWO.
+     * <p>
+     * However, before starting the 2nd node the schema is reset on the 1st node, so the 1st node will discard its local
+     * schema whenever it manages to fetch a schema definition from some other node (the 2nd node in this case).
+     * It is expected to end up with both nodes having only the definition of TABLE_ONE.
+     * <p>
+     * In the second phase of the test we simply break the schema on the 1st node and call reset to fetch the schema
+     * definition it from the 2nd node.
