- variable length arrays (VLAs) do not work with Visual Studio
- fix an off-by-one error. We incorrectly assumed there would always at
least as many edges as there were nodes.
- refactor: reduce scope of transactionNodeStack by moving it into the
function which uses it.
- refactor: break up the distinct uses of currentStackDepth into
separate variables.
With this fix, we traverse the graph with DFS which was originally
intended. Note that, before the fix, we traverse the graph with BFS
which might lead to killing some unrelated backend that is not
involved in the distributed deadlock.
Postgres provides OS agnosting formatting macros for
formatting 64 bit numbers. Replaced %ld %lu with
INT64_FORMAT and UINT64_FORMAT respectively.
Also found some incorrect usages of formatting
flags and fixed them.
If after the distributed deadlock detection decides to cancel
a backend, the backend has been terminated/killed/cancelled
externally, we might be accessing to a NULL pointer. This commit
prevents that case by ignoring the current distributed deadlock.
We added a new field to the transaction id that is set to true only
for the transactions initialized on the coordinator. This is only
useful for MX in order to distinguish the transaction that started
the distributed transaction on the coordinator where we could
have the same transactions' worker queries on the same node.
We added a new GUC citus.log_distributed_deadlock_detection
which is off by default. When set to on, we log some debug messages
related to the distributed deadlock to the server logs.
This commit adds all the necessary pieces to do the distributed
deadlock detection.
Each distributed transaction is already assigned with distributed
transaction ids introduced with
3369f3486f. The dependency among the
distributed transactions are gathered with
80ea233ec1.
With this commit, we implement a DFS (depth first seach) on the
dependency graph and search for cycles. Finding a cycle reveals
a distributed deadlock.
Once we find the deadlock, we examine the path that the cycle exists
and cancel the youngest distributed transaction.
Note that, we're not yet enabling the deadlock detection by default
with this commit.
In this commit, we add ability to convert global wait edges
into adjacency list with the following format:
[transactionId] = [transactionNode->waitsFor {list of waiting transaction nodes}]
