In recent postgres builds you cannot set client_min_messages to
values higher then ERROR, if will silently set it to ERROR if so.
During some tests we would set it to fatal to hide random values
(eg. pid's of processes) from the test output. This patch will use
different tactics for hiding these values.
Each PostgreSQL backend starts with a predefined amount of stack and this stack
size can be increased if there is a need. However, stack size increase during
high memory load may cause unexpected crashes, because if there is not enough
memory for stack size increase, there is nothing to do for process apart from
crashing. An interesting thing is; the process would get OOM error instead of
crash, if the process had an explicit memory request (with palloc) for example.
However, in the case of stack size increase, there is no system call to get OOM
error, so the process simply crashes.
With this change, we are increasing the stack size explicitly by requesting extra
memory from the stack, so that, even if there is not memory, we can at least get
an OOM instead of a crash.
Both of these are a bit of a shot in the dark. In one case, we noticed
a stack trace where a caller received a null pointer and attempted to
dereference the memory context field (at 0x010). In the other, I saw
that any error thrown from within AdjustParseTree could keep the stack
from being cleaned up (presumably if we push we should always pop).
Both stack traces were collected during times of high memory pressure
and locally reproducing the problem locally or otherwise has been very
tricky (i.e. it hasn't been reproduced reliably at all).
* Keep track of cached entries in case of interruption.
Previously we set DistTableCacheEntry->sortedShardIntervalArray
and DistTableCacheEntry->shardIntervalArrayLength after we entered
all related shard entries into DistShardCacheHash. The drawback was
that if populating DistShardCacheHash was interrupted,
ResetDistTableCacheEntry() didn't see the shard hash entries created,
so was unable to clean them up.
This patch fixes that by setting sortedShardIntervalArray earlier,
and incrementing shardIntervalArrayLength as we enter shards into
the cache.
In the distributed deadlock detection design, we concluded that prepared transactions
cannot be part of a distributed deadlock. The idea is that (a) when the transaction
is prepared it already acquires all the locks, so cannot be part of a deadlock
(b) even if some other processes blocked on the prepared transaction, prepared transactions
would eventually be committed (or rollbacked) and the system will continue operating.
With the above in mind, we probably had a mistake in terms of memory allocations. For each
backend initialized, we keep a `BackendData` struct. The bug we've introduced is that, we
assumed there would only be `MaxBackend` number of backends. However, `MaxBackends` doesn't
include the prepared transactions and axuliary processes. When you check Postgres' InitProcGlobal`
you'd see that `TotalProcs = MaxBackends + NUM_AUXILIARY_PROCS + max_prepared_xacts;`
This commit aligns with total procs processed with that.
- Lots of detail is in src/test/regress/mitmscripts/README
- Create a new target, make check-failure, which runs tests
- Tells travis how to install everything and run the tests
We can now support more complex count distinct operations by
pulling necessary columns to coordinator and evalutating the
aggreage at coordinator.
It supports broad range of expression with the restriction that
the expression must contain a column.
