Depends on D19831. Ref T13216. See PHI908. Allegedly, a user copied a large repository into itself and then pushed it. Great backup strategy, but it can create headaches for administrators.
Allow a "maximum paths you can touch with one commit" limit to be configured, to make it harder for users to make this push this kind of commit by accident.
If you actually intended to do this, you can work around this by breaking your commit into pieces (or temporarily removing the limit). This isn't a security/policy sort of option, it's just a guard against silly mistakes.
Test Plan: Set limit to 2, tried to push 3 files, got rejected. Raised limit, pushed changes successfully.

Summary:
Ref T13216. See PHI943. If autoscale lightning strikes all your servers at once and destroys them, the path to recovery can be unclear. You're "supposed" to:
- demote all the devices;
- disable the bindings;
- bind the new servers;
- put whatever working copies you can scrape up back on disk;
- promote one of the new servers.
However, the documentation is a bit misleading (it was sort of written with "you lost one or two devices" in mind, not "you lost every device") and demote-before-disable is unnecessary and slightly risky if servers come back online. There's also a missing guardrail before the promote step which lets you accidentally skip the demotion step and end up in a confusing state. Instead:
- Add a guard rail: when you try to promote a new server, warn if inactive devices still have versions and tell the user to demote them.
- Allow demotion of inactive devices: the order "disable, demote" is safer and more intuitive than "demote, disable" and there's no reason to require the unintuitive order.
- Make the "cluster already has leaders" message more clear.
- Make the documentation more clear.
Test Plan:
- Bound a repository to two devices.
- Wrote to A to make it a leader, then disabled it (simulating a lightning strike).
- Tried to promote B. Got a new, useful error ("demote A first").
- Demoted A (before: error about demoting inactive devices; now: works fine).
- Promoted B. This worked.

Ref T13053. Postmark support recommends testing requests against a whitelist of known remote addresses to determine request authenticity. Today, the list can be found here:
<https://postmarkapp.com/support/article/800-ips-for-firewalls>
This is potentially less robust than, e.g., HMAC verification, since they may need to add new datacenters or support IPv6 or something. Users might also have weird network topologies where everything is proxied, and this makes testing/simulating more difficult.
Allow users to configure the list so that they don't need to hack things apart if Postmark adds a new datacenter or remote addresses are unreliable for some other reason, but ship with safe defaults for today.
Test Plan:
Tried to make local requests, got kicked out. Added `0.0.0.0/0` to the list, stopped getting kicked out.

- There's just an actual typo which prevents the "Observe" version of this error from triggering properly.
Additionally, add more forceful warnings that "Observe" and "Mirror" mean that you want to //replace// a repository with another one, not that we somehow merge branches selectively.

Summary:
The goal is to make fulltext search back-ends more extensible, configurable and robust.
When this is finished it will be possible to have multiple search storage back-ends and
potentially multiple instances of each.
Individual instances can be configured with roles such as 'read', 'write' which control
which hosts will receive writes to the index and which hosts will respond to queries.
These two roles make it possible to have any combination of:
* read-only
* write-only
* read-write
* disabled
This 'roles' mechanism is extensible to add new roles should that be needed in the future.
In addition to supporting multiple elasticsearch and mysql search instances, this refactors
the connection health monitoring infrastructure from PhabricatorDatabaseHealthRecord and
utilizes the same system for monitoring the health of elasticsearch nodes. This will
allow Wikimedia's phabricator to be redundant across data centers (mysql already is,
elasticsearch should be as well).
The real-world use-case I have in mind here is writing to two indexes (two elasticsearch clusters
in different data centers) but reading from only one. Then toggling the 'read' property when
we want to migrate to the other data center (and when we migrate from elasticsearch 2.x to 5.x)
Hopefully this is useful in the upstream as well.
Remaining TODO:
* test cases
* documentation
Test Plan:
(WARNING) This will most likely require the elasticsearch index to be deleted and re-created due to schema changes.
Tested with elasticsearch versions 2.4 and 5.2 using the following config:
```lang=json
"cluster.search": [
{
"type": "elasticsearch",
"hosts": [
{
"host": "localhost",
"roles": { "read": true, "write": true }

"path": "/phabricator",

Fixes T12087. When transitioning into a clustered configuration for the first time, the documentation recommends using a one-device cluster as a transitional step.
However, installs may not do this for whatever reason, and we aren't as clear as we could be in warning about clusterizing directly into a multi-device cluster.
Roughly, when you do this, we end up believing that working copies exist on several different devices, but have no information about which copy or copies are up to date. //Usually// they all were already synchronized and are all up to date, but we can't make this assumption safely without risking data.
Instead, we err on the side of caution, and require a human to tell us which copy we should consider to be up-to-date, using `bin/repository thaw --promote`.
Test Plan:
```
$ ./bin/repository clusterize rLOCKS --service repos001.phacility.net
Service "repos001.phacility.net" is actively bound to more than one device
(local002.local, local001.phacility.net).
If you clusterize a repository onto this service it will be unclear which
devices have up-to-date copies of the repository. This leader/follower
ambiguity will freeze the repository. You may need to manually promote a
device to unfreeze it. See "Ambiguous Leaders" in the documentation for
discussion.

Summary:
Ref T11044. One popular tool in a modern operations environment is Puppet. The primary purpose of this tool is to randomly revert hosts to older or different configurations.
Introducing an element of chaotic unpredictability into operations trains staff to be on high alert at all times, rather than lulled into complacency by predictability or consistency.
When Puppet reverts a Phabricator host's configuration to an older version, we might start writing data to a lot of crazy places where it shouldn't go. This will create a big sticky mess that is virtually impossible to undo, mostly because we'll get two files with ID 123 or two tasks with ID 456 or whatever else and good luck with that.
Instead, after changing the partition layout, require `bin/storage partition` to be run. This writes a copy of the config everywhere.
Then, when we start serving web requests, make sure every database has the exact same config. This will foil Puppet by refusing to run requests on hosts it has reverted.
Test Plan:
- Changed partition configuration.
- Ran Phabricator.
- FOILED!
- Ran `bin/storage partition` to sync config.
- Things worked again.

Summary:
Ref T11044. I'm going to hold this until after the release cut, but I think it's good to go.
This allows installs to configure multiple masters in `cluster.databases` and partition applications across them (for example, put Maniphest on a dedicated database).
When we make a Maniphest connection we go look up which master we should be hitting first, then connect to it.
This has at least approximately been planned for many years, so the actual change is largely just making sure that your config makes sense.
Test Plan:
- Configured `db001.epriestley.com` and `db002.epriestley.com` as master/master.
- Partitioned applications between them.
- Interacted with various applications, saw writes go to the correct host.
- Viewed "Database Servers" and saw partitioning information.
- Ran schema upgrades.

Summary:
See D16734.
- Add ".ico" files to the Celerity map.
- Add a formal route for "/favicon.ico".
- Remove instructions to configure `/rsrc/` and `/favicon.ico` rewrite rules.
Long ago, we served resources directly via `/rsrc/` in at least some cases. As we added more features, this stopped working more and more often (for example, Apache can never serve CSS this way, because it doesn't know how to post-process `{$variables}`).
In modern code (until this change), only `/favicon.ico` is still expected to be served this way.
Instead, serve it with an explicit route via controller (this allows different Sites to have different favicons, for example).
Remove the instructions suggesting the old rewrite rules be configured. It's OK if they're still in place -- they won't break anything, so we don't need to rush to get users to delete them.
We should keep "webroot/favicon.ico" in place for now, since it needs to be there for users with the old rewrite rule.
Test Plan:
- Ran celerity map.
- Loaded `/favicon.ico`, got resource via route.
- Used `celerity_generate_resource_uri()` to get paths to other icons, loaded them, got icons.

Summary:
Fixes T11487. Improve documentation for three situations:
- When you configure a cluster behind a load balancer, all requests are trusted but not all have an "X-Forwarded-For" header. Change the suggested snippet to read this header only if it exists.
- When a request goes through a series of load balancers (as with a CDN) they can end up writing a list of IPs to the header. Parse these.
- Remove the "rate limiting" stuff -- this got disabled/removed a long time ago and is misleading/incorrect.

Summary:
Ref T11140. This makes encryption actually work:
- Provide a new configuation option, `keyring`, for specifying encryption keys.
- One key may be marked as `default`. This activates AES256 encryption for Files.
- Add `bin/files generate-key`. This is helps when generating valid encryption keys.
- Add `bin/files encode`. This changes the storage encoding of a file, and helps test encodings and migrate existing data.
- Add `bin/files cycle`. This re-encodes the block key with a new master key, if your master key leaks or you're just paraonid.
- Document all these options and behaviors.
Test Plan:
- Configured a bad `keyring`, hit a bunch of different errors.
- Used `bin/files generate-key` to try to generate bad keys, got appropriate errors ("raw doesn't support keys", etc).
- Used `bin/files generate-key` to generate an AES256 key.
- Put the new AES256 key into the `keyring`, without `default`.
- Uploaded a new file, verified it still uploaded as raw data (no `default` key yet).
- Used `bin/files encode` to change a file to ROT13 and back to raw. Verified old data got deleted and new data got stored properly.
- Used `bin/files encode --key ...` to explicitly convert a file to AES256 with my non-default key.
- Forced a re-encode of an AES256 file, verified the old data was deleted and a new key and IV were generated.
- Used `bin/files cycle` to try to cycle raw/rot13 files, got errors.
- Used `bin/files cycle` to cycle AES256 files. Verified metadata changed but file data did not. Verified file data was still decryptable with metadata.
- Ran `bin/files cycle --all`.
- Ran `encode` and `cycle` on chunked files, saw commands fail properly. These commands operate on the underlying data blocks, not the chunk metadata.
- Set key to `default`, uploaded a file, saw it stored as AES256.
- Read documentation.

Summary: The S3 fields are mandatory and if you only enter the ones in the docs you will immediately encounter a "Amazon S3 is Only Partially Configured" error. For Mailgun the error is more difficult to figure out - emails get stuck on Mailgun's side but the error is illegible. On Phabricator's side you have to go trawling through nginx logs to find "Mail signature is not valid. Check your Mailgun API key."
Test Plan: Deploy a new standalone instance, follow old instructions, fail. Deploy another one, follow updated instructions, win.
