Description

the internal fingeprint command is currently implemented as a query which isn't resilient to temporary unavailability or node restart. Since the fingerprint command is a full scan like a backup, we should jobify it.

Jira issue: CRDB-52221

Epic CC-32671

Research direction

Start by locating the internal fingerprint command and tracing how its current query performs the full scan, then compare that behavior with the backup job. The work is done when fingerprinting is jobified and remains resilient to temporary unavailability and node restarts, as described in CRDB-52221 and epic CC-32671.
