- default Tx is once again RBF, changed from bolt.
- document the RBF code review comments that were not addressed
before #1052 was merged, so they don't get lost.
- they should be easily addressed by replaying the entire WAL file
rather than from the DB meta page 0 notion of the last WalID
- cleanup rbf/cfg/cfg.go stale comments, ensure default0 respected.
1 msec checkpoint time, 1MB wal segment defaults.
- return a specific error, ErrNoMetaFound, from findNextWALMetaPage()
rather than io.EOF, since there actually wasn't any file IO involved.
- add http handlers for /cpu-profile/start and /cpu-profile/stop
in http/handler.go enable CPU profiling at specific time points
during an ingest or other operation.
- we return to checkpointing after every commit, by default.
- the internal rbf logic is not ready to have
checkpoints deferred. Doing so results in
references to WAL segments that are not
in the current slice of live segments.
Previously, RBF shared a list of WAL segments between the DB & Tx.
However, this increased the need for mutexes to access the data.
WAL segments are effectively immutable on-disk so the list of segments
has been refactored so that changes to the segment list are done via
copy-on-write which allows read transactions to access segment data
without a mutex.
The database checkpointing can remove early, unused segments and
there is an update/add check to make sure that Tx segments pushed back
to the DB do not include removed segments.
This commit adds the ability to start a transaction with an exclusive
lock for the entire database. This ensures no other read or write
transactions can run at the same time. Writes in this mode write
directly to the database and skip the WAL entirely.
