- lmdb as a backend (lmdb.go)
(lmdb is the fastest known transactional storage backend)
- per Tx call statics report enabled with PILOSA_CALLSTAT=true (stattx.go)
- framework for per-shard db (dbshard.go)
- txfactory handles any pair under blue-green testing (txfactory.go)
- enable CGO in Dockerfiles for lmdb
- rbf had races around the new rootRecords cache in tx
- rbf tx needed a write lock on the db now that rootRecords are written
- added a global registry for rbfDB to correctly dedup instances
- implement DeleteFragment, DeleteIndex for rbf
- use badger style keys for rbf to allow content checksumming to be list
containers in the same order
- lots of other integration of rbf into pilosa layer.
1. Tests can choose the Tx engine desired by setting the PILOSA_TXSRC
env variable. For example:
PILOSA_TXSRC=badger go test -v -run TestImportClearRestart
2. pilosa server --tx is enabled now.
Examples:
pilosa server --tx roaring # gives the legacy approach.
pilosa server --tx rbf # will activate RBF
pilosa server --tx badger # will activate BadgerDB
pilosa server --tx badger_rbf # will run Blue-Green badger to RBF comparisons.
and so forth. See pilosa server -h or txfactory.go for all valid --tx choices.
3. Mechanism that makes both tests(1) and pilosa server(2) work at once:
pilosa/server/server.go injects PILOSA_TXSRC into env to
communicate with NewIndex in pilosa/index.go.
- all tests green on RoaringTx
- RoaringTx on by default
- blueGreenTx testing framework available for A-vs-B comparison
of Tx implementations
- flag -tx added to server command line but not wired to
change NewIndex() selection yet.
- 918 green tests, 14 tests red on BadgerTx.
A full list of the 14 red tests on BadgerTx follows.
Note that these red tests represent not defects in BadgerDB
or BadgerTx but rather failures of the pre-existing pilosa infrastructure to yet
be fully adapted from files to using a transactional storage engine.
As such these are tests that RBF should not be expected to
pass yet either.
Fixing the pilosa infrastructure to allow these tests
to go green under Badger is the next and highest priority
order of business, but RBF can get much testing benefit
from the 918 green tests we do have, and hence we merge
as much as we have today.
The 14 red tests when NewIndex() is set to use
BadgerTx are as follows. Note in particular
that pilosa cluster resizing is not working yet under a
transactional store.

Some cluster tests failed sporadically. In order to fix them, I
introduced some debugging-related functionality, which revealed
several new bugs that were actually existing bugs we just happened
not to hit in testing. This combines various fixes.
We start with "make the nodes used in testing have distinct names
based on the test case name", which lets us discover that we are
leaking clusters, which continue to sit around talking with each
other. That in turn causes significantly higher load on access to
ephemeral ports, which causes sporadic failures when we shut a
node down and try to restart it, but something else has gotten assigned
its ephemeral port number since then.
Part of the fix is to try to rebind on port 0 if an attempt to
bind to a specified port over 32k fails. This is a guess; the
actual ephemeral port range could be 16k+, 32k+, or 48k+, or just
about anything else really, but it seems reasonable in
practice.
There were bugs in the oft-repeated loops to await the cluster
achieving a given state, and it could hang forever if it didn't,
so we add a timeout and a standard function on the test.Cluster
type to handle that. Note that the timeout seems irrelevant; in
every case I've tried, a timeout of 0 is fine because the node
start doesn't complete until the cluster state has changed.
Add a method to test.Command to run a query, expecting a specific
result. Also clean up some of the formatting and generation of
queries, and allow parameterized (badly) queries. This lets us fix
a subtle bug, which is that test cases were depending on assumptions
about shardwidths. Also improve the diagnostic output from some of
these functions so test failures are more comprehensible.
But actually that dependency on shardwidths was ALSO revealing a
genuine underlying bug, which is that a node resize did not correctly
propagate the schema to a new node if there was no data present
on shards that node would own. We now also have a test case that
hits that (or would, if we hadn't fixed it).
Add comments explaining the server options parameters for MustNewCluster
and MustRunCluster.
Also, we implement the ReadFrom and WriteTo behaviors for
InMemTranslateStore, without which some of the cluster resize tests
fail. Props to the comment for specifically stating that they wouldn't
work if that happened, which probably saved me several hours of
debugging. The implementations may not be robust, but
InMemTranslateStore is intended to be used only in lightweight
and transient testing.
This modifies the parser to properly "unquote" incoming strings. So if
a string comes in double or single quoted, we approximately follow Go
rules for removing the quotes and processing escape sequences.
The differences from Go are:
1. we only support backslash, quote, tab and newline escape
sequenences.
2. Single quoted strings are supported and work just like double
quoted strings.
3. The peg parser won't actually accept backquoted strings (I don't
think)
Fixes: #411
I think this will improve the transaction response messages Kuba
mentioned where it was an empty transaction instead of a nil or not
there... if not it should make it easier to do that anyhow.
also adds a "noSleep" option to the server command to avoid the 5
second sleep we introduced on startup for non-coordinator cluster
nodes. The sleep doesn't seem to be needed in the tests and makes them
much slower.
For tests, we need to create the grpc listener with port 0 in order to
automatically assign a port. This PR moves the lister creation outside
of the grcpServer itself so that we can access that auto-created port.
