Problem
When ingesting implicit
ClearVmBits
operations, we silently drop the writes if the relation or page is unknown. There are implicit assumptions around VM pages wrt. explicit/implicit updates, sharding, and relation sizes, which can possibly drop writes incorrectly. Adding a few metrics will allow us to investigate further and tighten up the logic.Touches #9855.
Summary of changes
Add a
pageserver_wal_ingest_clear_vm_bits_unknown
metric to record droppedClearVmBits
writes.Also add comments clarifying the behavior of relation sizes on non-zero shards.
