This patch adds the default-off cluster setting
storage.mvcc.range_tombstones.enabled
to control whether or not towrite MVCC range tombstones. The setting is internal and system-only.
The read path is always active, this only determines whether KV clients
should write them.
A helper function
CanUseMVCCRangeTombstones()
has also been added.Callers have not yet been updated to respect this.
Note that any in-flight jobs may not pick up this change, so these need
to be waited out before being certain that the setting has taken effect.
If disabled after being enabled, this will prevent new range tombstones
from being written, but already written tombstones will remain until
GCed. The above note on jobs above also applies in this case.
Release justification: bug fixes and low-risk updates to new functionality
Release note: None
