* Fix code comments regarding logical decodingAlvaro Herrera2016-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Back in 3b02ea4f0780 I added some comments in various places to explain how logical decoding and other things worked. Not all of the changes were welcome, because they were misleading or wrong. This changes them a little bit to make them more accurate. Some other comments are also changed to be more accurate. Also, fix a bunch of typos. Author: Álvaro Herrera, Craig Ringer Andres Freund reviewed some parts of this.
* Generic Messages for Logical DecodingSimon Riggs2016-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | API and mechanism to allow generic messages to be inserted into WAL that are intended to be read by logical decoding plugins. This commit adds an optional new callback to the logical decoding API. Messages are either text or bytea. Messages can be transactional, or not, and are identified by a prefix to allow multiple concurrent decoding plugins. (Not to be confused with Generic WAL records, which are intended to allow crash recovery of extensible objects.)

* Remove more volatile qualifiers.Robert Haas2015-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | Prior to commit 0709b7ee72e4bc71ad07b7120acd117265ab51d0, access to variables within a spinlock-protected critical section had to be done through a volatile pointer, but that should no longer be necessary.

* Allow pg_create_physical_replication_slot() to reserve WAL.Andres Freund2015-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When creating a physical slot it's often useful to immediately reserve the current WAL position instead of only doing after the first feedback message arrives. That e.g. allows slots to guarantee that all the WAL for a base backup will be available afterwards. Logical slots already have to reserve WAL during creation, so generalize that logic into being usable for both physical and logical slots. Catversion bump because of the new parameter.

* Collection of typo fixes.Heikki Linnakangas2015-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use "a" and "an" correctly, mostly in comments. Two error messages were also fixed (they were just elogs, so no translation work required). Two function comments in pg_proc.h were also fixed. Etsuro Fujita reported one of these, but I found a lot more with grep. Also fix a few other typos spotted while grepping for the a/an typos. For example, "consists out of ..." -> "consists of ...". Plus a "though"/ "through" mixup reported by Euler Taveira. Many of these typos were in old code, which would be nice to backpatch to make future backpatching easier. But much of the code was new, and I didn't feel like crafting separate patches for each branch. So no backpatching.
* Introduce replication progress tracking infrastructure.Andres Freund2015-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When implementing a replication solution ontop of logical decoding, two related problems exist: * How to safely keep track of replication progress * How to change replication behavior, based on the origin of a row; e.g. to avoid loops in bi-directional replication setups The solution to these problems, as implemented here, consist out of three parts: 1) 'replication origins', which identify nodes in a replication setup. 2) 'replication progress tracking', which remembers, for each replication origin, how far replay has progressed in a efficient and crash safe manner. 3) The ability to filter out changes performed on the behest of a replication origin during logical decoding; this allows complex replication topologies. E.g. by filtering all replayed changes out. Most of this could also be implemented in "userspace", e.g. by inserting additional rows contain origin information, but that ends up being much less efficient and more complicated. We don't want to require various replication solutions to reimplement logic for this independently. The infrastructure is intended to be generic enough to be reusable. This infrastructure also replaces the 'nodeid' infrastructure of commit timestamps. It is intended to provide all the former capabilities, except that there's only 2^16 different origins; but now they integrate with logical decoding. Additionally more functionality is accessible via SQL. Since the commit timestamp infrastructure has also been introduced in 9.5 (commit 73c986add) changing the API is not a problem. For now the number of origins for which the replication progress can be tracked simultaneously is determined by the max_replication_slots GUC. That GUC is not a perfect match to configure this, but there doesn't seem to be sufficient reason to introduce a separate new one. Bumps both catversion and wal page magic.

* Fix error handling of XLogReaderAllocate in case of OOMFujii Masao2015-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | Similarly to previous fix 9b8d478, commit 2c03216 has switched XLogReaderAllocate() to use a set of palloc calls instead of malloc, causing any callers of this function to fail with an error instead of receiving a NULL pointer in case of out-of-memory error. Fix this by using palloc_extended with MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM that will safely return NULL in case of an OOM. Michael Paquier, slightly modified by me.
* Replace a bunch more uses of strncpy() with safer coding.Tom Lane2015-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strncpy() has a well-deserved reputation for being unsafe, so make an effort to get rid of nearly all occurrences in HEAD. A large fraction of the remaining uses were passing length less than or equal to the known strlen() of the source, in which case no null-padding can occur and the behavior is equivalent to memcpy(), though doubtless slower and certainly harder to reason about. So just use memcpy() in these cases. In other cases, use either StrNCpy() or strlcpy() as appropriate (depending on whether padding to the full length of the destination buffer seems useful). I left a few strncpy() calls alone in the src/timezone/ code, to keep it in sync with upstream (the IANA tzcode distribution). There are also a few such calls in ecpg that could possibly do with more analysis. AFAICT, none of these changes are more than cosmetic, except for the four occurrences in fe-secure-openssl.c, which are in fact buggy: an overlength source leads to a non-null-terminated destination buffer and ensuing misbehavior. These don't seem like security issues, first because no stack clobber is possible and second because if your values of sslcert etc are coming from untrusted sources then you've got problems way worse than this. Still, it's undesirable to have unpredictable behavior for overlength inputs, so back-patch those four changes to all active branches.

* Don't skip SQL backends in logical decoding for visibility computation.Andres Freund2014-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logical decoding patchset introduced PROC_IN_LOGICAL_DECODING flag PGXACT flag, that allows such backends to be skipped when computing the xmin horizon/snapshots. That's fine and sensible for walsenders streaming out logical changes, but not at all fine for SQL backends doing logical decoding. If the latter set that flag any change they have performed outside of logical decoding will not be regarded as visible - which e.g. can lead to that change being vacuumed away. Note that not setting the flag for SQL backends isn't particularly bothersome - the SQL backend doesn't do streaming, so it only runs for a limited amount of time. Per buildfarm member 'tick' and Alvaro. Backpatch to 9.4, where logical decoding was introduced.
* Revamp the WAL record format.Heikki Linnakangas2014-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each WAL record now carries information about the modified relation and block(s) in a standardized format. That makes it easier to write tools that need that information, like pg_rewind, prefetching the blocks to speed up recovery, etc. There's a whole new API for building WAL records, replacing the XLogRecData chains used previously. The new API consists of XLogRegister* functions, which are called for each buffer and chunk of data that is added to the record. The new API also gives more control over when a full-page image is written, by passing flags to the XLogRegisterBuffer function. This also simplifies the XLogReadBufferForRedo() calls. The function can dig the relation and block number from the WAL record, so they no longer need to be passed as arguments. For the convenience of redo routines, XLogReader now disects each WAL record after reading it, copying the main data part and the per-block data into MAXALIGNed buffers. The data chunks are not aligned within the WAL record, but the redo routines can assume that the pointers returned by XLogRecGet* functions are. Redo routines are now passed the XLogReaderState, which contains the record in the already-disected format, instead of the plain XLogRecord. The new record format also makes the fixed size XLogRecord header smaller, by removing the xl_len field. The length of the "main data" portion is now stored at the end of the WAL record, and there's a separate header after XLogRecord for it. The alignment padding at the end of XLogRecord is also removed. This compansates for the fact that the new format would otherwise be more bulky than the old format.

* Check interrupts during logical decoding more frequently.Andres Freund2014-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When reading large amounts of preexisting WAL during logical decoding using the SQL interface we possibly could fail to check interrupts in due time. Similarly the same could happen on systems with a very high WAL volume while creating a new logical replication slot, independent of the used interface. Previously these checks where only performed in xlogreader's read_page callbacks, while waiting for new WAL to be produced. That's not sufficient though, if there's never a need to wait. Walsender's send loop already contains a interrupt check. Backpatch to 9.4 where the logical decoding feature was introduced.

* Introduce logical decoding.Robert Haas2014-03-03
This feature, building on previous commits, allows the write-ahead log stream to be decoded into a series of logical changes; that is, inserts, updates, and deletes and the transactions which contain them. It is capable of handling decoding even across changes to the schema of the effected tables. The output format is controlled by a so-called "output plugin"; an example is included. To make use of this in a real replication system, the output plugin will need to be modified to produce output in the format appropriate to that system, and to perform filtering. Currently, information can be extracted from the logical decoding system only via SQL; future commits will add the ability to stream changes via walsender.
