I upgrade another instance to PG10 yesterday and this AM found unique key
violations.
Our application is SELECTing FROM sites WHERE site_location=$1, and if it
doesn't find one, INSERTs one (I know that's racy and not ideal). We ended up
with duplicate sites, despite a unique index. We removed the duplicate rows
and reindexed fine. This is just a heads up with all the detail I can fit in a
mail (but there's more if needed).
ts=# \d sites
site_id | integer | | not null |
nextval('sites_site_id_seq'::regclass)
site_office | text | | |
site_location | text | | |
[...]
Indexes:
"sites_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (site_id)
"sites_idx" UNIQUE, btree (site_office, site_location)
ts=# SELECT site_office, site_location, count(*), min(site_id), max(site_id)
FROM sites GROUP BY 1,2 HAVING count(*)>1 ORDER BY 1,2;
site_office | site_location | count | min | max
----------------+---------------+-------+-----+-----
CRCLMT-DOEMS0 | | 2 | 165 | 351
CRCLMT-DOEMS0 | 1101 | 2 | 123 | 343
CRCLMT-DOEMS0 | 1102 | 2 | 134 | 318
CRCLMT-DOEMS0 | 1103 | 2 | 145 | 322
CRCLMT-DOEMS0 | 1104 | 2 | 156 | 329
The duplicate site_ids mean this isn't an issue with row version/visibility due
to XIDs (right?).
ts=# SELECT 1 FROM sites WHERE site_office='CRCLMT-CEMS0' AND site_location='';
(0 rows)
ts=# SET enable_bitmapscan=off; SET enable_indexscan=off; SELECT 1 FROM sites
WHERE site_office='CRCLMT-CEMS0' AND site_location='';
-[ RECORD 1 ]
?column? | 1
So there's an issue with indices failing to return matching rows (and thereby
allowing inserting duplicate violating rows).
That's the only table/index affected (and the only PG instance thus far
affected).
Note regarding my pg_upgrade: 3 years ago, this was our first and smallest
customer who I upgraded off PG8.4 (to PG9.2 if I recall), and I did it using
pg_dump |pg_restore. I believe, as a consequence, its postgres database was in
"C" locale and ASCII encoding. So the last few upgrades (9.3, .4 .5 and .6), I
believe I've manually used initdb --encoding followed by pg_upgrade (else it
fails due to new postgres/template DBs with different locale/encoding from
old). This upgrade, I finally renamed postgres DB (which has imported CSV logs
and one or two other things) and pg_dump|pg_restore into a new DB with UTF8
encoding, which allowed pg_upgrade to run without special initdb invocation.
I have an LVM snapshot and full CSV logs imported into a table. I also have a
backup from 22:00 which doesn't have duplicate sites. Those seem to have been
inserted by our application around 00:30:
These IDs which inserted duplicate rows:
postgres=# SELECT session_id, max(session_line) FROM
postgres_log_2017_10_24_0000 WHERE message LIKE 'statement: SELECT site_id FROM
sites WHERE%' GROUP BY 1 ;
session_id | max

59eedfb5.5cf1 | 1741
(2 rows)
postgres=# SELECT log_time, session_id, session_line, left(message,333) FROM
postgres_log WHERE (session_id='59eedfb1.5cea' OR session_id='59eedfb5.5cf1')
AND (session_line<6 OR message LIKE '%INSERT INTO site%') ORDER BY 1,2,3;

site_location = '1203'))
Note:
I run a script which does various combinations of ANALYZE/VACUUM (FULL/ANALYZE)
following the upgrade, and a script runs nightly with REINDEX and pg_repack
(and a couple of CLUSTER), so you should assume that any combination of those
maintenance commands have been run.
In our reindex/repack log I found the first error due to duplicates:

Disclosure: I see a storage error from 2 days ago (pre-upgrade). This is a
4-drive RAID5 with spare. I can't see that we're missing a spare, so I don't
know what else to do besides consider this message to be spurious..

sites is perhaps our most central table and I would expect issues there to be
quickly apparent (however this was at least initially a silent failure).
