2015-12-18Fix copy-and-paste error in logical decoding callback.Robert Haas
This could result in the error context misidentifying where the error actually occurred. Craig Ringer
2015-12-13Consistently set all fields in pg_stat_replication to null instead of 0Magnus Hagander
Previously the "sent" field would be set to 0 and all other xlog pointers be set to NULL if there were no valid values (such as when in a backup sending walsender).
2015-12-13Properly initialize write, flush and replay locations in walsender slotsMagnus Hagander
These would leak random xlog positions if a walsender used for backup would a walsender slot previously used by a replication walsender. In passing also fix a couple of cases where the xlog pointer is directly compared to zero instead of using XLogRecPtrIsInvalid, noted by Michael Paquier.
2015-11-22Adopt the GNU convention for handling tar-archive members exceeding 8GB.Tom Lane
The POSIX standard for tar headers requires archive member sizes to be printed in octal with at most 11 digits, limiting the representable file size to 8GB. However, GNU tar and apparently most other modern tars support a convention in which oversized values can be stored in base-256, allowing any practical file to be a tar member. Adopt this convention to remove two limitations: * pg_dump with -Ft output format failed if the contents of any one table exceeded 8GB. * pg_basebackup failed if the data directory contained any file exceeding 8GB. (This would be a fatal problem for installations configured with a table segment size of 8GB or more, and it has also been seen to fail when large core dump files exist in the data directory.) File sizes under 8GB are still printed in octal, so that no compatibility issues are created except in cases that would have failed entirely before. In addition, this patch fixes several bugs in the same area: * In 9.3 and later, we'd defined tarCreateHeader's file-size argument as size_t, which meant that on 32-bit machines it would write a corrupt tar header for file sizes between 4GB and 8GB, even though no error was raised. This broke both "pg_dump -Ft" and pg_basebackup for such cases. * pg_restore from a tar archive would fail on tables of size between 4GB and 8GB, on machines where either "size_t" or "unsigned long" is 32 bits. This happened even with an archive file not affected by the previous bug. * pg_basebackup would fail if there were files of size between 4GB and 8GB, even on 64-bit machines. * In 9.3 and later, "pg_basebackup -Ft" failed entirely, for any file size, on 64-bit big-endian machines. In view of these potential data-loss bugs, back-patch to all supported branches, even though removal of the documented 8GB limit might otherwise be considered a new feature rather than a bug fix.
2015-11-08Set replication origin when decoding commit records.Andres Freund
By accident the replication origin was not set properly in DecodeCommit(). That's bad because the origin is passed to the output plugins origin filter, and accessible from the output plugin via ReorderBufferTXN->origin_id. Accessing the origin of individual changes worked before the fix, which is why this wasn't notices earlier.

2015-10-27Measure string lengths only onceAlvaro Herrera
Bernd Helmle complained that CreateReplicationSlot() was assigning the same value to the same variable twice, so we could remove one of them. Code inspection reveals that we can actually remove both assignments: according to the author the assignment was there for beauty of the strlen line only, and another possible fix to that is to put the strlen in its own line, so do that. To be consistent within the file, refactor all duplicated strlen() calls, which is what we do elsewhere in the backend anyway. In basebackup.c, snprintf already returns the right length; no need for strlen afterwards. Backpatch to 9.4, where replication slots were introduced, to keep code identical. Some of this is older, but the patch doesn't apply cleanly and it's only of cosmetic value anyway. Discussion: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/[email protected]

Prior to commit 0709b7ee72e4bc71ad07b7120acd117265ab51d0, access to variables within a spinlock-protected critical section had to be done through a volatile pointer, but that should no longer be necessary.

2015-09-06Add ability to reserve WAL upon slot creation via replication protocol.Andres Freund
Since 6fcd885 it is possible to immediately reserve WAL when creating a slot via pg_create_physical_replication_slot(). Extend the replication protocol to allow that as well. Although, in contrast to the SQL interface, it is possible to update the reserved location via the replication interface, it is still useful being able to reserve upon creation there. Otherwise the logic in ReplicationSlotReserveWal() has to be repeated in slot employing clients. Author: Michael Paquier Discussion: CAB7nPqT0Wc1W5mdYGeJ_wbutbwNN+3qgrFR64avXaQCiJMGaYA@mail.gmail.com

2015-08-11Allow pg_create_physical_replication_slot() to reserve WAL.Andres Freund
When creating a physical slot it's often useful to immediately reserve the current WAL position instead of only doing after the first feedback message arrives. That e.g. allows slots to guarantee that all the WAL for a base backup will be available afterwards. Logical slots already have to reserve WAL during creation, so generalize that logic into being usable for both physical and logical slots. Catversion bump because of the new parameter.

2015-08-10Add confirmed_flush column to pg_replication_slots.Andres Freund
There's no reason not to expose both restart_lsn and confirmed_flush since they have rather distinct meanings. The former is the oldest WAL still required and valid for both physical and logical slots, whereas the latter is the location up to which a logical slot's consumer has confirmed receiving data. Most of the time a slot will require older WAL (i.e. restart_lsn) than the confirmed position (i.e. confirmed_flush_lsn). Author: Marko Tiikkaja, editorialized by me Discussion: [email protected]

2015-07-07Fix logical decoding bug leading to inefficient reopening of files.Andres Freund
When spilling transaction data to disk a simple typo caused the output file to be closed and reopened for every serialized change. That happens to not have a huge impact on linux, which is why it probably wasn't noticed so far, but on windows that appears to trigger actual disk writes after every change. Not fun. The bug fortunately does not have any impact besides speed. A change could end up being in the wrong segment (last instead of next), but since we read all files to the end, that's just ugly, not really problematic. It's not a problem to upgrade, since transaction spill files do not persist across restarts.

2015-05-28Fix assorted inconsistencies in our calls of readlink().Tom Lane
Ensure that we null-terminate the result string (one place in pg_rewind). Be paranoid about out-of-range results from readlink() (should not happen, but there is no good reason for some call sites to be careful about it and others not). Consistently use the whole buffer, not sometimes one byte less. Ensure we emit an appropriate errcode() in all cases. Spell the error messages the same way. The only serious bug here is the missing null-termination in pg_rewind, which is new code, so no need for a back-patch. Abhijit Menon-Sen and Tom Lane

Use "a" and "an" correctly, mostly in comments. Two error messages were also fixed (they were just elogs, so no translation work required). Two function comments in pg_proc.h were also fixed. Etsuro Fujita reported one of these, but I found a lot more with grep. Also fix a few other typos spotted while grepping for the a/an typos. For example, "consists out of ..." -> "consists of ...". Plus a "though"/ "through" mixup reported by Euler Taveira. Many of these typos were in old code, which would be nice to backpatch to make future backpatching easier. But much of the code was new, and I didn't feel like crafting separate patches for each branch. So no backpatching.

2015-05-12Map basebackup tablespaces using a tablespace_map fileAndrew Dunstan
Windows can't reliably restore symbolic links from a tar format, so instead during backup start we create a tablespace_map file, which is used by the restoring postgres to create the correct links in pg_tblspc. The backup protocol also now has an option to request this file to be included in the backup stream, and this is used by pg_basebackup when operating in tar mode. This is done on all platforms, not just Windows. This means that pg_basebackup will not not work in tar mode against 9.4 and older servers, as this protocol option isn't implemented there.

2015-05-08Add support for INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING/UPDATE.Andres Freund
The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to raising a unique or exclusion constraint violation error when inserting. ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or by naming a unique or exclusion constraint. DO NOTHING avoids the constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row. DO UPDATE SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being executed. The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias. This feature is often referred to as upsert. This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert. If a violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made. If the pre-check finds a matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken. If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is deemed inserted. To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT INTO now can alias its target table. Bumps catversion as stored rules change. Author: Peter Geoghegan, with significant contributions from Heikki Linnakangas and Andres Freund. Testing infrastructure by Jeff Janes.

2015-04-29Introduce replication progress tracking infrastructure.Andres Freund
When implementing a replication solution ontop of logical decoding, two related problems exist: * How to safely keep track of replication progress * How to change replication behavior, based on the origin of a row; e.g. to avoid loops in bi-directional replication setups The solution to these problems, as implemented here, consist out of three parts: 1) 'replication origins', which identify nodes in a replication setup. 2) 'replication progress tracking', which remembers, for each replication origin, how far replay has progressed in a efficient and crash safe manner. 3) The ability to filter out changes performed on the behest of a replication origin during logical decoding; this allows complex replication topologies. E.g. by filtering all replayed changes out. Most of this could also be implemented in "userspace", e.g. by inserting additional rows contain origin information, but that ends up being much less efficient and more complicated. We don't want to require various replication solutions to reimplement logic for this independently. The infrastructure is intended to be generic enough to be reusable. This infrastructure also replaces the 'nodeid' infrastructure of commit timestamps. It is intended to provide all the former capabilities, except that there's only 2^16 different origins; but now they integrate with logical decoding. Additionally more functionality is accessible via SQL. Since the commit timestamp infrastructure has also been introduced in 9.5 (commit 73c986add) changing the API is not a problem. For now the number of origins for which the replication progress can be tracked simultaneously is determined by the max_replication_slots GUC. That GUC is not a perfect match to configure this, but there doesn't seem to be sufficient reason to introduce a separate new one. Bumps both catversion and wal page magic.

2015-04-27Use a fd opened for read/write when syncing slots during startup.Andres Freund
Some operating systems, including the reporter's windows, return EBADFD or similar when fsync() is invoked on a O_RDONLY file descriptor. Unfortunately RestoreSlotFromDisk() does exactly that; which causes failures after restarts in at least some scenarios. If you hit the bug the error message will be something like ERROR: could not fsync file "pg_replslot/$name/state": Bad file descriptor Simply use O_RDWR instead of O_RDONLY when opening the relevant file descriptor to fix the bug. Unfortunately I have no way of verifying the fix, but we've seen similar problems in the past. This bug goes back to 9.4 where slots were introduced. Backpatch accordingly.

Right now it is visible whether a replication slot is active in any session, but not in which. Adding the active_in column, containing the pid of the backend having acquired the slot, makes it much easier to associate pg_replication_slots entries with the corresponding pg_stat_replication/pg_stat_activity row. This should have been done from the start, but I (Andres) dropped the ball there somehow.

2015-04-16Fix assertion failure in logical decoding.Heikki Linnakangas
Logical decoding set SnapshotData's regd_count field to avoid the snapshot manager from prematurely freeing snapshots that are generated by the decoding system. That was always an abuse of the field, as it was never supposed to be used outside the snapshot manager. Commit 94028691 made snapshot manager's tracking of the snapshots smarter, and that scheme fell apart. The snapshot manager got confused and hit the assertion, when a snapshot that was marked with regd_count==1 was not found in the heap, where the snapshot manager tracks registered the snapshots. To fix, don't abuse the regd_count field like that. Logical decoding still abuses the active_count field for similar purposes, but that's currently harmless.

2015-03-26Tweak __attribute__-wrapping macros for better pgindent results.Tom Lane
This improves on commit bbfd7edae5aa5ad5553d3c7e102f2e450d4380d4 by making two simple changes: * pg_attribute_noreturn now takes parentheses, ie pg_attribute_noreturn(). Likewise pg_attribute_unused(), pg_attribute_packed(). This reduces pgindent's tendency to misformat declarations involving them. * attributes are now always attached to function declarations, not definitions. Previously some places were taking creative shortcuts, which were not merely candidates for bad misformatting by pgindent but often were outright wrong anyway. (It does little good to put a noreturn annotation where callers can't see it.) In any case, if we would like to believe that these macros can be used with non-gcc compilers, we should avoid gratuitous variance in usage patterns. I also went through and manually improved the formatting of a lot of declarations, and got rid of excessively repetitive (and now obsolete anyway) comments informing the reader what pg_attribute_printf is for.

2015-03-15Merge the various forms of transaction commit & abort records.Andres Freund
Since 465883b0a two versions of commit records have existed. A compact version that was used when no cache invalidations, smgr unlinks and similar were needed, and a full version that could deal with all that. Additionally the full version was embedded into twophase commit records. That resulted in a measurable reduction in the size of the logged WAL in some workloads. But more recently additions like logical decoding, which e.g. needs information about the database something was executed on, made it applicable in fewer situations. The static split generally made it hard to expand the commit record, because concerns over the size made it hard to add anything to the compact version. Additionally it's not particularly pretty to have twophase.c insert RM_XACT records. Rejigger things so that the commit and abort records only have one form each, including the twophase equivalents. The presence of the various optional (in the sense of not being in every record) pieces is indicated by a bits in the 'xinfo' flag. That flag previously was not included in compact commit records. To prevent an increase in size due to its presence, it's only included if necessary; signalled by a bit in the xl_info bits available for xact.c, similar to heapam.c's XLOG_HEAP_OPMASK/XLOG_HEAP_INIT_PAGE. Twophase commit/aborts are now the same as their normal counterparts. The original transaction's xid is included in an optional data field. This means that commit records generally are smaller, except in the case of a transaction with subtransactions, but no other special cases; the increase there is four bytes, which seems acceptable given that the more common case of not having subtransactions shrank. The savings are especially measurable for twophase commits, which previously always used the full version; but will in practice only infrequently have required that. The motivation for this work are not the space savings and and deduplication though; it's that it makes it easier to extend commit records with additional information. That's just a few lines of code now; without impacting the common case where that information is not needed.
