Fixes & improvements
Compute: Enabled the use of the CREATE EXTENSION statement for users that are not database owners.
Compute: Updated the Postgres version to 14.4.
Compute: Renamed the following custom configuration parameters:
zenith.page_server_connstring to neon.pageserver_connstring
zenith.zenith_tenant to neon.tenant_id
zenith.zenith_timeline to neon.timeline_id
zenith.max_cluster_size to neon.max_cluster_size
wal_acceptors to safekeepers
Control Plane: Renamed zenith_admin role to cloud_admin.
Pageserver: Implemented a page service fullbackup endpoint that works like basebackup but also sends relational files.
Pageserver: Added support for importing a base backup taken from a standalone Postgres instance or another Pageserver using psql copy.
Pageserver: Fixed the database size calculation to count Visibility Maps (VMs) and Free Space Maps (FSMs) in addition to the main fork of the relation.
Pageserver: Updated the timeline size reported when DROP DATABASE is executed.
Pageserver: Decreased the number of threads by running gc and compaction in a blocking tokio thread pool.
Pageserver: Switched to per-tenant attach/detach. Download operations of all timelines for one tenant are now grouped together so that branches can be used safely with attach/detach.
Proxy: Added support for propagating SASL/SCRAM Postgres authentication errors to clients.
Safekeeper: Added support for backing up Write-Ahead Logs (WAL) to S3 storage for disaster recovery.
Safekeeper: Added support for downloading WAL from S3 storage on demand.
Safekeeper: Switched to etcd subscriptions to keep Pageservers up to date with the Safekeeper status.
Safekeeper: Implemented JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication in the Safekeeper HTTP API.
Safekeeper: Fixed the walreceiver connection selection mechanism:
Reconnecting to a Safekeeper immediately after it fails is now avoided by limiting candidates to those with the fewest connection attempts.
Increased the max_lsn_wal_lag default setting to avoid constant reconnections during normal work.
