问题背景
GPDB是中央控制节点式的架构,在一个 GreenPlum 集群中,有一个 Master 节点和多个 Segment 节点。Master 是中央控制节点,Segment 是数据存放节点。所有的Segment节点平等,均由Master管理。架构如下图:
GreenPlum架构图
当GP Master出现问题的时候,可以通过外部的HA监控模块发现并激活备库,Standby Master 正常后删除原来的 Master 进行重建备库。
而 Segment 的修复与此不同!由上图可知,Segment 也分为主备,称为 Primary 和 Mirror,Mirror 是 Primary 的备。Primary与Mirror之间强同步保证数据一致性和可靠性,其间的监控与切换则由Master的FTS模块负责。当FTS发现Primary宕机、Mirror健康后会激活Mirror,并标记Primary为’d’,Mirror进入 ChangeTracking 状态。(详细的原理此处不作赘述,有兴趣可以参考本期月报的GPDB · 特性分析· GreenPlum Segment事务一致性与异常处理和上期的GPDB · 特性分析· GreenPlum FTS 机制)
当有Segment被标记为’d’后,Master将不会对其做处理,GP实例的启动(重启)也会将其忽略。这个时候,整个GP集群是处于有风险的状况中:
- 切过去的Mirror压力增大(需要做change tracking);
- 节点单点,可靠性风险加大。
这个时候需要及时地对Segment进行修复。
GP的Segment修复
GP提供了一系列的控制脚本用于对GP进行操作,其中用于修复Segment的是gprecoverseg。使用方式比较简单,有限的几个主要参数如下:
-i
主要参数,用于指定一个配置文件,该配置文件描述了需要修复的Segment和修复后的目的位置。
-F
可选项,指定后,gprecoverseg会将”-i”中指定的或标记”d”的实例删除,并从活着的Mirror复制一个完整一份到目标位置。
-r
当FTS发现有Primary宕机并进行主备切换,在gprecoverseg修复后,担当Primary的Mirror角色并不会立即切换回来,就会导致部分主机上活跃的Segment过多从而引起性能瓶颈。因此需要恢复Segment原先的角色,称为re-balance。
举个使用的例子:
下面是一个正常的实例,
$ gpstate -s

这个时候连接这个实例去获取信息是失败的,失败的原因后面再说。这个时候失败后会重试5次,当再一次尝试的时候发现了不同:

会发现,少了一个Segment的命令,而这个Segment正是刚才kill的Segment。继续往下看执行结果,gprecoverseg执行了下面的內容:
20160418:23:16:20:085203 gprecoverseg:host1:gpuser-[DEBUG]:-[worker7] finished cmd: Get segment status information cmdStr='sshpass -e ssh -o 'StrictHostKeyChecking no' host2 ". /workspace/gpdb/greenplum_path.sh; $GPHOME/bin/gp_primarymirror -h host2 -p 3013"' had result: cmd had rc=1 completed=True halted=False
stdout=''
stderr='mode: PrimarySegment

faultType: NotInitialized
mode: PrimarySegment
segmentState: Ready

'
这个实例为什么单独检查呢?而且这个时候如果失败,则会直接退出无法继续执行。
在一系列的检查之后,先更新catalog中的操作记录表:
UPDATE pg_catalog.gp_segment_configuration
之后即调用命令进行数据的恢复:
/workspace/gpdb/bin/lib/gpconfigurenewsegment -c /workspace/gpuser/3012:3012:false:false:9 -v -B 16 --write-gpid-file-only
最后再启动Segment,并更新catalog:

20160419:01:21:05:042692 gprecoverseg:host1:gpuser-[DEBUG]:-UPDATE gp_fault_strategy
这样即是一个完整的gprecoverseg过程。执行过后,对应的Primary和Mirror会进入”r”状态,表示正在做数据同步。
下面来看其中的详细步骤和原理。
实现原理
上面的例子中,遗留了几个问题:
- 在gprecoverseg过程中,第一次获取Segment状态是不对的;
- 第二次获取Segment信息,比第一次少了一条;
- 单独检查了“-h host2 -p 3013”这个实例。
这几个问题在了解了原理后就很容易理解了。想要了解原理,可以先看下执行的步骤。从代码看来,其大致的步骤如下:
参数处理
GP的脚本用了较多的环境变量,且不同的脚本、不同的地方略有不同。如gprecoverseg用的就是MASTER_DATA_DIRECTORY,从MASTER_DATA_DIRECTORY指定的目录中得到Master相关的信息(如port)以进行相关操作。
gprecoverseg的参数,最重要的莫过于”-i”了,其指定了需要做修复的Segment,并且可以指定到不同的主机上,例如:
filespaceOrder=
host1:3012:/workspace/gpuser/3012 host2:3012:3512:/workspace/gpuser/3012
具体执行不再赘述。
判断Segment当前的状态
调用gp_primarymirror,向活着的segment发送消息,以判断Segment当前的状态。这是非常重要的一步,也是遇到问题最多的一步,经常会出现问题”Unable to connect to database”。事实上,造成这个失败的原因有很多,比较多的是:
- 其对应的Primary(Mirror)也宕机;
- 其对应的Primary的状态不对,如已经有gprecoverseg在进行(或执行失败,状态出问题等)。
在做这一步的时候,是依赖gp_segment_configuration中的数据的,即会首先从GP Master上获取相应的数据,与下一步中的描述基本相同。
如果这个Segment被标记为”d”,那么是不会向该Segment发起状态信息请求。
而如果对应的Primary/Mirror都宕机了,他们的状态不会同时为”d”(有可能都为”u”,比如同时异常的时候,FTS不会更新他们)。因此对标记为”u”实际已经宕机的Segment连接获取状态信息的时候,则会报错。这个时候就不是gprecoverseg所能处理的问题了,只能重启整个实例。
回到前面的问题。第一次执行失败即因为Segment的状态尚未更新;第二次执行少了一个Segment,即状态被更新为”d”后不进行连接。
在检查完所有状态为”u”的Segment连接后,则会针对宕机的Mirror进行检查,查看其对应的主库是否正常,可以用于修复数据,即是第三个问题的答案。如:
stdout=''
stderr='mode: PrimarySegment
segmentState: Ready
dataState: InSync
faultType: NotInitialized
mode: PrimarySegment
segmentState: Ready
dataState: InSync
faultType: NotInitialized
'
或者这样
stdout=''
stderr='mode: PrimarySegment
segmentState: Ready
dataState: InChangeTracking
faultType: NotInitialized
mode: PrimarySegment
segmentState: Ready
dataState: InChangeTracking
faultType: NotInitialized
'
正常情况下,当Mirror出现问题,Primary发现后会进入ChangeTracking的状态。在这个状态里,Primary会记录下切换状态时间点之后的变更,用于当Mirror恢复时进行数据同步,而不用每次都做一次全量。
从master获取segment的信息
包括IP、PORT、ROLE、Status、数据目录、临时空间等,如下:
dbid | content | role | preferred\_role | mode | status | hostname | address | port | replication\_port | oid | fselocation
------+---------+------+----------------+------+--------+---------------+---------------+------+------------------+------+-----------------
1 | -1 | p | p | s | u | host1 | host1 | 3007 | | 3052 | /workspace/gpuser/3007
10 | -1 | m | m | s | u | host2 | host2 | 3007 | | 3052 | /workspace/gpuser/3007
2 | 0 | p | p | s | u | host1 | host1 | 3008 | 3508 | 3052 | /workspace/gpuser/3008
6 | 0 | m | m | s | u | host2 | host2 | 3014 | 3514 | 3052 | /workspace/gpuser/3014
3 | 1 | p | p | s | u | host1 | host1 | 3010 | 3510 | 3052 | /workspace/gpuser/3010
7 | 1 | m | m | s | u | host2 | host2 | 3015 | 3515 | 3052 | /workspace/gpuser/3015
4 | 2 | p | p | s | u | host2 | host2 | 3008 | 3508 | 3052 | /workspace/gpuser/3008
8 | 2 | m | m | s | u | host1 | host1 | 3011 | 3511 | 3052 | /workspace/gpuser/3011
5 | 3 | p | p | s | u | host2 | host2 | 3013 | 3513 | 3052 | /workspace/gpuser/3013
9 | 3 | m | m | s | u | host1 | host1 | 3012 | 3512 | 3052 | /workspace/gpuser/3012
IP/PORT/ROLE/STATUS/目录/FILESPACE等信息,后面的Mirror修复列表、临时空间、操作对象的信息都依赖于此。
修复准备
在获取所有的Segment信息后,会针对配置文件、参数等相关信息确定,包括:
Segment修复对象
确定Segment修复对象和数据源,即Primary;需要修复的Segment有可能是多个。并获取需要修复的Segment的相关信息,包括端口、流复制端口、数据目录、临时空间、文件空间等信息,以及是否强制修复等。
主机环境
在获取所需要修复的Segment列表后,需要确保所在主机环境是可以的,包括端口占用、目录的占用等有可能冲突的地方。
如果没有指定主机,则会在已有的主机中选择一个。
修复
修复的步骤是:
- 关闭宕机的Mirror,并清理shared memory
- 确定需要修复的Segment已经被标记为”d”
- 如有需要,则进行删除,如”-F”的情况
- 打包压缩、复制数据到目标位置
- 关闭SIGINT、SIG_IGN,更新元数据库,打开SIGINT、SIG_IGN
以上步骤后,即可实现对Segment的本地(in-place)或跨机修复。
re-balance
当修复完Segment之后,原先因为Primary宕机而切到Mirror上的Segment并不会主动切回来,这个时候有可能出现性能倾斜而影响性能,因此需要做”re-balance”,执行:
gprecoverseg -r
执行该命令会将role切换为preferred_role,保证整个集群的角色平衡而不致于部分主机Primay更多引起性能瓶颈。
