dennis zhuang d59725b04a test(sqlness): run environments concurrently and drop redundant restarts and sleeps (#9333)
* test(sqlness): run environments concurrently with external backends

The runner forced both environment and instance parallelism to 1 whenever
etcd/PG/MySQL or an external Kafka was set up, so the standalone and
distributed environments ran one after the other.

Only distributed uses the kv backend, and the two environments use
different Kafka topic prefixes, so they can run at the same time. Keep one
instance per environment, since instances would share the metadata table
and Kafka topics. Runs with a runner-managed Kafka, an external server, a
test filter, or `-j 1` stay fully serial.

* test(sqlness): drop redundant restarts and sleeps

- flow_rebuild: drop the R2 block, which repeats R1 from the same state,
  and the restart in R5, whose result R1 already asserts.
- flow_advance_ttl, flow_view, ttl_instant: drop sleeps that no assertion
  depends on.
- flow_basic, flow_null, flow_call_df_func: drop the bytes_log section
  (covered by flow_insert), a duplicate state_size query, an unchecked
  insert, and flushes that run with no new data.
- alter_table_options, skip_wal: share restarts between independent tables.
- session_skip_wal, copy_skip_wal: check every case after a single restart.
  Tables copied or inserted with skip_wal = true first get a WAL row that is
  truncated, so the check that truncated WAL entries are not replayed stays.
- region_statistics: wait once for the statistics of all three tables.
- build_index_table: fold its index_size checks into
  build_index_table_restart, which runs the same fixture and waits.

* test(sqlness): restore session_skip_wal and copy_skip_wal

Checking every case after a single restart dropped two state transitions
the original cases cover: recovering a region whose memtable only held
skipped rows, and writing to the recovered region before restarting again.
Restore the original cases.

* test(sqlness): restore the one-restart check in flow_auto_sink_table

#5112 checked the auto-created sink before a restart and the flow and sink
after it. #5987 moved the restart in front of the first SHOW and added a
second one. Flow recovery only creates the sink when it is missing, so the
second restart recovers from the same persisted state as the first.
Restore the original before/after check with one restart.

* test(sqlness): keep one instance per environment with external store addresses

Instances of the distributed environment share the etcd behind --store-addrs, so run one instance per environment when it is set, same as --setup-etcd.

* test(sqlness): restore the false-branch batch in flow_basic and assert it

The kept batch (20, 22) is all above the threshold. The second batch (10, 23) is the only input that hits the false branch of the CASE and makes the flow compute again. Restore it and check the result, which the original case never did.

Sqlness Test

Sqlness manual

Case file

Sqlness has two types of file:

  • .sql: test input, SQL only
  • .result: expected test output, SQL and its results

.result is the output (execution result) file. If you see .result files is changed, it means this test gets a different result and indicates it fails. You should check change logs to solve the problem.

You only need to write test SQL in .sql file, and run the test.

Case organization

The root dir of input cases is tests/cases. It contains several subdirectories stand for different test modes. E.g., standalone/ contains all the tests to run under greptimedb standalone start mode.

Under the first level of subdirectory (e.g. the cases/standalone), you can organize your cases as you like. Sqlness walks through every file recursively and runs them.

Kafka WAL

Sqlness supports Kafka WAL. You can either provide a Kafka cluster or let sqlness to start one for you.

To run test with kafka, you need to pass the option -w kafka. If no other options are provided, sqlness will use conf/kafka-cluster.yml to start a Kafka cluster. This requires docker and docker-compose commands in your environment.

Otherwise, you can additionally pass the your existing kafka environment to sqlness with -k option. E.g.:

cargo sqlness bare -w kafka -k localhost:9092

In this case, sqlness will not start its own kafka cluster and the one you provided instead.

Run the test

Unlike other tests, this harness is in a binary target form. You can run it with:

cargo sqlness bare

It automatically finishes the following procedures: compile GreptimeDB, start it, grab tests and feed it to the server, then collect and compare the results. You only need to check if the .result files are changed. If not, congratulations, the test is passed 🥳!
