Autovacuum process cancels itself if any modification starts
on the table in order to avoid blocking your regular Postgres
sessions. That's normal and expected. Thus, any locks held by
autovacuum process cannot involve in a distributed deadlock
since it'll be released if needed.
These locks are held for a very short duration time and cannot
contribute to a deadlock. Speculative locks are used by Postgres
for internal notification mechanism among transactions.
Short-term share/exclusive page-level locks are used for
read/write access. Locks are released immediately after
each index row is fetched or inserted.
Since those locks may not lead to any deadlocks, it's safe
to ignore them in the distributed deadlock detection.
We should skip if the process blocked on the relation
extension since those locks are hold for a short duration
while the relation is actually extended on the disk and
released as soon as the extension is done. Thus, recording
such waits on our lock graphs could yield detecting wrong
distributed deadlocks.
We sent multiple commands to worker when starting a transaction.
Previously we only checked the result of the first command that
is transaction 'BEGIN' which always succeeds. Any failure on
following commands were not checked.
With this commit, we make sure all command results are checked.
If there is any error we report the first error found.
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.
This change adds support for SAVEPOINT, ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, and RELEASE SAVEPOINT.
When transaction connections are not established yet, savepoints are kept in a stack and sent to the worker when the connection is later established. After establishing connections, savepoint commands are sent as they arrive.
This change fixes#1493 .
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.
This GUC has two settings, 'always' and 'never'. When it's set to
'never' all behavior stays exactly as it was prior to this commit. When
it's set to 'always' only SELECT queries are allowed to run, and only
secondary nodes are used when processing those queries.
Add some helper functions:
- WorkerNodeIsSecondary(), checks the noderole of the worker node
- WorkerNodeIsReadable(), returns whether we're currently allowed to
read from this node
- ActiveReadableNodeList(), some functions (namely, the ones on the
SELECT path) don't require working with Primary Nodes. They should call
this function instead of ActivePrimaryNodeList(), because the latter
will error out in contexts where we're not allowed to write to nodes.
- ActiveReadableNodeCount(), like the above, replaces
ActivePrimaryNodeCount().
- EnsureModificationsCanRun(), error out if we're not currently allowed
to run queries which modify data. (Either we're in read-only mode or
use_secondary_nodes is set)
Some parts of the code were switched over to use readable nodes instead
of primary nodes:
- Deadlock detection
- DistributedTableSize,
- the router, real-time, and task tracker executors
- ShardPlacement resolution
We use the backend shared memory lock for preventing
new backends to be part of a new distributed transaction
or an existing backend to leave a distributed transaction
while we're reading the all backends' data.
The primary goal is to provide consistent view of the
current distributed transactions while doing the
deadlock detection.
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}]
- master_add_node enforces that there is only one primary per group
- there's also a trigger on pg_dist_node to prevent multiple primaries
per group
- functions in metadata cache only return primary nodes
- Rename ActiveWorkerNodeList -> ActivePrimaryNodeList
- Rename WorkerGetLive{Node->Group}Count()
- Refactor WorkerGetRandomCandidateNode
- master_remove_node only complains about active shard placements if the
node being removed is a primary.
- master_remove_node only deletes all reference table placements in the
group if the node being removed is the primary.
- Rename {Node->NodeGroup}HasShardPlacements, this reflects the behavior it
already had.
- Rename DeleteAllReferenceTablePlacementsFrom{Node->NodeGroup}. This also
reflects the behavior it already had, but the new signature forces the
caller to pass in a groupId
- Rename {WorkerGetLiveGroup->ActivePrimaryNode}Count
This commit adds distributed transaction id infrastructure in
the scope of distributed deadlock detection.
In general, the distributed transaction id consists of a tuple
in the form of: `(databaseId, initiatorNodeIdentifier, transactionId,
timestamp)`.
Briefly, we add a shared memory block on each node, which holds some
information per backend (i.e., an array `BackendData backends[MaxBackends]`).
Later, on each coordinated transaction, Citus sends
`SELECT assign_distributed_transaction_id()` right after `BEGIN`.
For that backend on the worker, the distributed transaction id is set to
the values assigned via the function call.
The aim of the above is to correlate the transactions on the coordinator
to the transactions on the worker nodes.
Comes with a few changes:
- Change the signature of some functions to accept groupid
- InsertShardPlacementRow
- DeleteShardPlacementRow
- UpdateShardPlacementState
- NodeHasActiveShardPlacements returns true if the group the node is a
part of has any active shard placements
- TupleToShardPlacement now returns ShardPlacements which have NULL
nodeName and nodePort.
- Populate (nodeName, nodePort) when creating ShardPlacements
- Disallow removing a node if it contains any shard placements
- DeleteAllReferenceTablePlacementsFromNode matches based on group. This
doesn't change behavior for now (while there is only one node per
group), but means in the future callers should be careful about
calling it on a secondary node, it'll delete placements on the primary.
- Create concept of a GroupShardPlacement, which represents an actual
tuple in pg_dist_placement and is distinct from a ShardPlacement,
which has been resolved to a specific node. In the future
ShardPlacement should be renamed to NodeShardPlacement.
- Create some triggers which allow existing code to continue to insert
into and update pg_dist_shard_placement as if it still existed.
Uncrustify 0.65 appears to have changed some defaults, resulting in
breakages for those of us who have already upgraded; Travis still uses
Uncrustify 0.64, but these changes work with both versions (assuming
appropriately updated config), so this should permit use of either
version for the time being.
Previously we used ForgetResults() in StartRemoteTransactionAbort() -
that's problematic because there might still be an ongoing statement,
and this causes us to wait for its completion. That e.g. happens when
a statement running on the coordinator is cancelled.
Adds support for PostgreSQL 10 by copying in the requisite ruleutils
and updating all API usages to conform with changes in PostgreSQL 10.
Most changes are fairly minor but they are numerous. One particular
obstacle was the change in \d behavior in PostgreSQL 10's psql; I had
to add SQL implementations (views, mostly) to mimic the pre-10 output.
With this change we add an option to add a node without replicating all reference
tables to that node. If a node is added with this option, we mark the node as
inactive and no queries will sent to that node.
We also added two new UDFs;
- master_activate_node(host, port):
- marks node as active and replicates all reference tables to that node
- master_add_inactive_node(host, port):
- only adds node to pg_dist_node
