Out of scope LSNs include pre initdb LSNs, and LSNs prior to
latest_gc_cutoff.
To get there there was also two cleanups:
* Fix error handling in Execute message handler. This fixes behaviour
when basebackup retured an error. Previously pageserver thread just
died.
* Remove "ancestor" file which previously contained ancestor id and
branch lsn. Currently the same data can be obtained from metadata file.
And just the way we handled ancestor file in the code introduced the
case when branching fails timeline directory is created but there is no data in it
except ancestor file. And this confused gc because it scans
directories. So it is better to just remove ancestor file and clean up
this timeline directory creation so it happens after all validity
checks have passed
Git commit sha is displayed when --version flag is used and is written
to logs during service startup. Uses git_version crate when git is
available, and GIT_VERSION environment variable otherwise which is the case for docker
builds.
The 'zenith' CLI utility can now be used to launch safekeepers. By
default, one safekeeper is configured. There are new 'safekeeper
start/stop' subcommands to manage the safekeepers. Each safekeeper is
given a name that can be used to identify the safekeeper to start/stop
with the 'zenith start/stop' commands. The safekeeper data is stored
in '.zenith/safekeepers/<name>'.
The 'zenith start' command now starts the pageserver and also all
safekeepers. 'zenith stop' stops pageserver, all safekeepers, and all
postgres nodes.
Introduce new 'zenith pageserver start/stop' subcommands for
starting/stopping just the page server.
The biggest change here is to the 'zenith init' command. This adds a
new 'zenith init --config=<path to toml file>' option. It takes a toml
config file that describes the environment. In the config file, you
can specify options for the pageserver, like the pg and http ports,
and authentication. For each safekeeper, you can define a name and the
pg and http ports. If you don't use the --config option, you get a
default configuration with a pageserver and one safekeeper. Note that
that's different from the previous default of no safekeepers. Any
fields that are omitted in the configuration file are filled with
defaults. You can also specify the initial tenant ID in the config
file. A couple of sample config files are added in the control_plane/
directory.
The --pageserver-pg-port, --pageserver-http-port, and
--pageserver-auth options to 'zenith init' are removed. Use a config
file instead.
Finally, change the python test fixtures to use the new 'zenith'
commands and the config file to describe the environment.
We generate the initial tenantid and store it in the file, so it shouldn't
be missing. But let's cope with it. (This comes handy with the bigger
changes I'm working on at https://github.com/zenithdb/zenith/pull/788)
Change 'zenith.signal' file to a human-readable format, similar to
backup_label. It can contain a "PREV LSN: %X/%X" line, or a special
value to indicate that it's OK to start with invalid LSN ('none'), or
that it's a read-only node and generating WAL is forbidden
('invalid').
The 'zenith pg create' and 'zenith pg start' commands now take a node
name parameter, separate from the branch name. If the node name is not
given, it defaults to the branch name, so this doesn't break existing
scripts.
If you pass "foo@<lsn>" as the branch name, a read-only node anchored
at that LSN is created. The anchoring is performed by setting the
'recovery_target_lsn' option in the postgresql.conf file, and putting
the server into standby mode with 'standby.signal'.
We no longer store the synthetic checkpoint record in the WAL segment.
The postgres startup code has been changed to use the copy of the
checkpoint record in the pg_control file, when starting in zenith
mode.
This is in preparation for supporting read-only nodes. You can launch
multiple read-only nodes on the same brach, so we need an identifier
for each node, separate from the branch name.
- perform checkpoint for each tenant repository.
- wait for the completion of all threads.
Add new option 'immediate' to 'pageserver stop' command to terminate the pageserver immediately.
Support is done via pytest-xdist plugin.
To use the feature add -n<concurrency> to pytest invocation
e.g. pytest -n8 to run 8 tests in parallel.
Changes in code are mostly about ports assigning. Previously port for
pageserver was hardcoded without the ability to override through zenith
cli and ports for started compute nodes were calculated twice, in zenith
cli and in test code. Now zenith cli supports port arguments for
pageserver and compute nodes to be passed explicitly.
Tests are modified in such a way that each worker gets a non overlapping
port range which can be configured and now contains 100 ports. These
ports are distributed to test services (pageserver, wal acceptors,
compute nodes) so they can work independently.
In order to exclude problems with synchronizing disk and memory logical
size is not stored in metadata on disk. It is calculated on timeline
"start" by scanning the contents of layered repo and then size is maintained
via an atomic variable.
This patch also adds new endpoint to pageserver http api: branch detail.
It allows retrieval of a particular branch info by its name. Size info
is also added to the response of the endpoint and used in tests.
Change control plane code to call `postgres --sync-safekeepers` before
compute node start when safekeepers are enabled. Now `pg create` will
create an empty data directory with the proper config file. Subsequent
`pg start` will run `sync-safekeepers` and will call basebackup with
the resulting LSN. Also change few tests to accommodate this new behavior.
Now that we only have one Repository implementation, no need for the
command-line options to choose it either. I'm removing these as a separate
commit to show what we will need to do if we add another Repository
implementation in the future (even though I don't foresee us doing that
any time soon)
The layered storage format is good enough that we don't need the rocksdb
implementation anymore. There are a lot of known issues but we'll keep
working on them.
Now that the new storage format is based on immutable files, we want to
implement push/pull in terms of these immutable files as well. Similarly
to how those files will be transferred between S3 and the page server.
The implementation we had was fairly tightly coupled with the object
repository implementation, but I'm about to remove the object / rocksdb
storage format soon. That would leave the current "zenith push" command
completely broken.
It seemed like a good idea at the time, but in hindsight, it was premature
to implement push/pull yet. It's a nice feature and I'd like to see it
reimplemented in the future, but in the meanwhile, let's remove the code
we had. We can dig the parts of it that might be useful in the future
from the git history.
Change CLI so that we always create node from scratch at 'pg start'.
This operation preserve previously existing config
Add new flag '--config-only' to 'pg create'.
If this flag is passed, don't perform basebackup, just fill initial postgresql.conf for the node.
This replaces the RocksDB based implementation with an approach using
"snapshot files" on disk, and in-memory btreemaps to hold the recent
changes.
This make the repository implementation a configuration option. You can
choose 'layered' or 'rocksdb' with "zenith init --repository-format=<format>"
The unit tests have been refactored to exercise both implementations.
'layered' is now the default.
Push/pull is not implemented. The 'test_history_inmemory' test has been
commented out accordingly. It's not clear how we will implement that
functionality; probably by copying the snapshot files directly.
Current state with authentication.
Page server validates JWT token passed as a password during connection
phase and later when performing an action such as create branch tenant
parameter of an operation is validated to match one submitted in token.
To allow access from console there is dedicated scope: PageServerApi,
this scope allows access to all tenants. See code for access validation in:
PageServerHandler::check_permission.
Because we are in progress of refactoring of communication layer
involving wal proposer protocol, and safekeeper<->pageserver. Safekeeper
now doesn’t check token passed from compute, and uses “hardcoded” token
passed via environment variable to communicate with pageserver.
Compute postgres now takes token from environment variable and passes it
as a password field in pageserver connection. It is not passed through
settings because then user will be able to retrieve it using pg_settings
or SHOW ..
I’ve added basic test in test_auth.py. Probably after we add
authentication to remaining network paths we should enable it by default
and switch all existing tests to use it.
this patch adds support for tenants. This touches mostly pageserver.
Directory layout on disk is changed to contain new layer of indirection.
Now path to particular repository has the following structure: <pageserver workdir>/tenants/<tenant
id>. Tenant id has the same format as timeline id. Tenant id is included in
pageserver commands when needed. Also new commands are available in
pageserver: tenant_list, tenant_create. This is also reflected CLI.
During init default tenant is created and it's id is saved in CLI config,
so following commands can use it without extra options. Tenant id is also included in
compute postgres configuration, so it can be passed via ServerInfo to
safekeeper and in connection string to pageserver.
For more info see docs/multitenancy.md.
* Add ancestor_id to pg_list->branch_list output of pageserver.
* Display branching point (LSN) for each non-root branch.
* Add tests for `zenith branch`.
This patch started as an effort to support CLI working against remote
pageserver, but turned into a pretty big refactoring.
* CLI now does not look into repository files directly. New commands
'branch_create' and 'identify_system' were introduced into page_service to
support that.
* Branch management that was scattered between local_env and
zenith/main.rs is moved into pageserver/branches.rs. That code could better fit
in Repository/Timeline impl, but I'll leave that for a different patch.
* All tests-related code from local_env went into integration_tests/src/lib.rs as an
extension to PostgresNode trait.
* Paths-generating functions were concentrated around corresponding config
types (LocalEnv and PageserverConf).
This isn't just cosmetic, this also fixes one bug: the code in
parse_point_in_time() function used str::parse::<u64>() to parse the
parts of the LSN string (e.g. 0/1A2B3C4D). That's wrong, because the
LSN consists of hex digits, not base-10.
