When creating a new branch, we copied all WAL from the source timeline to the new one, and it was being picked up and digested into the repository on first use of the timeline. Fix by copying the WAL only up to the branch's starting point. We should probably move the branch-creation code from the CLI to page server itself - that's what I was starting to hack on when I noticed this bug - but let's fix this first. Add a regression test. To test multiple branches, enhance the python test fixture to manage multiple running Postgres instances. Also, for convenience, add a function to the postgres fixture to open a connection to the server with psycopg2.
Zenith
Zenith substitutes PostgreSQL storage layer and redistributes data across a cluster of nodes
Running local installation
- Build zenith and patched postgres
git clone --recursive https://github.com/libzenith/zenith.git
cd zenith
make
- Start pageserver and postggres on top of it (should be called from repo root):
# Create ~/.zenith with proper paths to binaries and data
# Later that would be responsibility of a package install script
>./target/debug/zenith init
# start pageserver
> ./target/debug/zenith pageserver start
Starting pageserver at '127.0.0.1:64000'
# create and configure postgres data dir
> ./target/debug/zenith pg create
Creating new postgres: path=/Users/user/code/zenith/tmp_check_cli/compute/pg1 port=55432
Database initialized
# start it
> ./target/debug/zenith pg start pg1
# look up status and connection info
> ./target/debug/zenith pg list
NODE ADDRESS STATUS
pg1 127.0.0.1:55432 running
- Now it is possible to connect to postgres and run some queries:
> psql -p55432 -h 127.0.0.1 postgres
postgres=# CREATE TABLE t(key int primary key, value text);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into t values(1,1);
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# select * from t;
key | value
-----+-------
1 | 1
(1 row)
Running tests
git clone --recursive https://github.com/libzenith/zenith.git
make # builds also postgres and installs it to ./tmp_install
cargo test -- --test-threads=1
Source tree layout
/walkeeper:
WAL safekeeper. Written in Rust.
/pageserver:
Page Server. Written in Rust.
Depends on the modified 'postgres' binary for WAL redo.
/integration_tests:
Tests with different combinations of a Postgres compute node, WAL safekeeper and Page Server.
/vendor/postgres:
PostgreSQL source tree, with the modifications needed for Zenith.
/vendor/postgres/src/bin/safekeeper:
Extension (safekeeper_proxy) that runs in the compute node, and connects to the WAL safekeepers and streams the WAL
