wal_keep_size is already set to 0 in our cloud setup, but we don't use this value in tests. This commit fixes wal_keep_size in control_plane and adds tests for WAL recycling and lagging safekeepers.
Change meaning of lsns in HOT_STANDBY_FEEDBACK:
flush_lsn = disk_consistent_lsn,
apply_lsn = remote_consistent_lsn
Update compute node backpressure configuration respectively.
Update compute node configuration:
set 'synchronous_commit=remote_write' in setup without safekeepers.
This way compute node doesn't have to wait for data checkpoint on pageserver.
This doesn't guarantee data durability, but we only use this setup for tests, so it's fine.
This is needed for implementation of tenant rebalancing. With this
change safekeeper becomes aware of which pageserver is supposed to be
used for replication from this particular compute.
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.
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.
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.
Otherwise we produce corrupted record holes in WAL during compute node restart
in case there was an unfinished record from the old compute, as these reports
advance commit_lsn -- reliably persisted part of WAL.
ref #549.
Mostly by @knizhnik. I adjusted to make sure proposer always starts streaming
since record beginning so we don't need special quirks for decoding in
safekeeper.
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.
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.
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.
- Add new subdir postgres_ffi/samples/ for config file samples.
- Don't copy wal to the new branch on zenith init or zenith branch.
- Import_timeline_wal on zenith init.
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.
Previously, transaction commit could happen regardless of whether
pageserver has caught up or not. This patch aims to fix that.
There are two notable changes:
1. ComputeControlPlane::new_node() now sets the
`synchronous_standby_names = 'pageserver'` parameter to delay
transaction commit until pageserver acting as a standby has
fetched and ack'd a relevant portion of WAL.
2. pageserver now has to:
- Specify the `application_name = pageserver` which matches the
one in `synchronous_standby_names`.
- Properly reply with the ack'd LSNs.
This means that some tests don't need sleeps anymore.
TODO: We should probably make this behavior configurable.
Fixes#187.
That is mandatory to correctly maintain visibility map (see issue#192).
It also makes sense to check that wal_log_hints is enabled at the pageserver side,
but for now let just check that tests will pass with this on.
This includes the following commits:

As well as some older changes related to storing CLOG and MultiXact data as
"pseudorelation" in the page server.
With this revert, we go back to the situtation that when you create a
new compute node, we ship *all* the WAL from the beginning of time to
the compute node. Obviously we need a better solution, like the code
that this reverts. But per discussion with Konstantin and Stas, this
stuff was still half-baked, and it's better for it to live in a branch
for now, until it's more complete and has gone through some review.
