We depends on rustls in postgres_backend anyway, so might as well use it
for all TLS stuff. Seems better to depend on only one library both from a
security point of view, and because fewer dependencies means less code to
compile. With this commit, we no longer depend on OpenSSL.
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.
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.
Switch over to a newer version of rust-postgres PR752. A few
minor changes are required:
- PgLsn::UNDEFINED -> PgLsn::from(0)
- PgTimestamp -> SystemTime
Our builds can be a little inconsistent, because Cargo doesn't deal well
with workspaces where there are multiple crates which have different
dependencies that select different features. As a workaround, copy what
other big rust projects do: add a workspace_hack crate.
This crate just pins down a set of dependencies and features that
satisfies all of the workspace crates.
The benefits are:
- running `cargo build` from one of the workspace subdirectories now
works without rebuilding anything.
- running `cargo install` works (without rebuilding anything).
- making small dependency changes is much less likely to trigger large
dependency rebuilds.
Since we are now calling the syscall directly, read_pidfile can now
parse an integer.
We also verify the pid is >= 1, because calling kill on 0 or negative
values goes straight to crazytown.
If there isn't any version specified for a dependency crate, Cargo may
choose a newer version. This could happen when Cargo.lock is updated
("cargo update") but can also happen unexpectedly when adding or
changing other dependencies. This can allow API-breaking changes to be
picked up, breaking the build.
To prevent this, specify versions for all dependencies. Cargo is still
allowed to pick newer versions that are (hopefully) non-breaking, by
analyzing the semver version number.
There are two special cases here:
1. serde_derive::{Serialize, Deserialize} isn't really used any more. It
was only a separate crate in the past because of compiler limitations.
Nowadays, people turn on the "derive" feature of the serde crate and
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize}.
2. parse_duration is unmaintained and has an open security issue. (gh
iss. 87) That issue probably isn't critical for us because of where we
use that crate, but it's probably still better to pin the version so we
can't get hit with an API-breaking change at an awkward time.
This replaces the page server's "datadir" concept. The Page Server now
always works with a "Zenith Repository". When you initialize a new
repository with "zenith init", it runs initdb and loads an initial
basebackup of the freshly-created cluster into the repository, on "main"
branch. Repository can hold multiple "timelines", which can be given
human-friendly names, making them "branches". One page server simultaneously
serves all timelines stored in the repository, and you can have multiple
Postgres compute nodes connected to the page server, as long they all
operate on a different timeline.
There is a new command "zenith branch", which can be used to fork off
new branches from existing branches.
The repository uses the directory layout desribed as Repository format
v1 in https://github.com/zenithdb/rfcs/pull/5. It it *highly* inefficient:
- we never create new snapshots. So in practice, it's really just a base
backup of the initial empty cluster, and everything else is reconstructed
by redoing all WAL
- when you create a new timeline, the base snapshot and *all* WAL is copied
from the new timeline to the new one. There is no smarts about
referencing the old snapshots/wal from the ancestor timeline.
To support all this, this commit includes a bunch of other changes:
- Implement "basebackup" funtionality in page server. When you initialize
a new compute node with "zenith pg create", it connects to the page
server, and requests a base backup of the Postgres data directory on
that timeline. (the base backup excludes user tables, so it's not
as bad as it sounds).
- Have page server's WAL receiver write the WAL into timeline dir. This
allows running a Page Server and Compute Nodes without a WAL safekeeper,
until we get around to integrate that properly into the system. (Even
after we integrate WAL safekeeper, this is perhaps how this will operate
when you want to run the system on your laptop.)
- restore_datadir.rs was renamed to restore_local_repo.rs, and heavily
modified to use the new format. It now also restores all WAL.
- Page server no longer scans and restores everything into memory at startup.
Instead, when the first request is made for a timeline, the timeline is
slurped into memory at that point.
- The responsibility for telling page server to "callmemaybe" was moved
into Postgres libpqpagestore code. Also, WAL producer connstring cannot
be specified in the pageserver's command line anymore.
- Having multiple "system identifiers" in the same page server is no
longer supported. I repurposed much of that code to support multiple
timelines, instead.
- Implemented very basic, incomplete, support for PostgreSQL's Extended
Query Protocol in page_service.rs. Turns out that rust-postgres'
copy_out() function always uses the extended query protocol to send
out the command, and I'm using that to stream the base backup from the
page server.
TODO: I haven't fixed the WAL safekeeper for this scheme, so all the
integration tests involving safekeepers are failing. My plan is to modify
the safekeeper to know about Zenith timelines, too, and modify it to work
with the same Zenith repository format. It only needs to care about the
'.zenith/timelines/<timeline>/wal' directories.
