   Attachment: ReplicationDesign.pdf
   ReplicationWriteup.txt

I started working on a replication wiki over the weekend. I spent the
weekend writing down the
initial set of details that I thought the wiki should contain and which
would be relevant to a
new user of the replication feature. I wrote these details in the form of
a text file.

I would be converting the text file into a replication wiki over the next
week.

Since this issue deals with the replication design and tries to identify
issues that are relevant
to this feature I am attaching whatever information I have assimilated to
this issue.

Note that the attached pdf contains a very simplified block diagram of the
main modules involved
in replication. I purposely made this simplified to enable the easy
understanding of the replication
design.

More detailed descriptions of the feature can be got by following the JIRA
pointers that are mentioned
in the explanations of the various blocks of this simplified block
diagram, and going through the
specific JIRA issues.

I have tried to organize the information I have collected or re-collected
so that it will be easy
for reviewers to point out places in which I have gone wrong.

I will be making further updates, improvements and modifications directly
to the wiki and will not
be attaching it to this issue.

It would be nice to have replication functionality to Derby; many

potential Derby users seem to want this. The attached functional
specification lists some initial thoughts for how this feature may work.

Dag Wanvik had a look at this functionality some months ago. He wrote a

proof of concept patch that enables replication by copying (using file
system copy) and redoing the existing Derby transaction log to the slave
(unfortunately, I can not find the mail thread now).

DERBY-2852 contains a patch that enables replication by sending

dedicated logical log records to the slave through a network connection and
redoing these.

Replication has been requested and discussed previously in multiple

threads, including these:

Re: [jira] Commented: (DERBY-3523) sql states (X0Y63, X0Y63, X0Y63.S) related to nulls in unique constraints are associated with wrong message texts

Yes, it does. If you want multiple messages with the same SQL state, you 
need to add the "..<#>" information to the error state in 
SQLState.java. E.g, all these messages have SQL State 08004:


- snip from SQLState.java 
String LOGIN_FAILED = "08004";
String NET_CONNECT_AUTH_FAILED  = "08004.C.1";
String NET_DATABASE_NOT_FOUND   = "08004.C.2";
String AUTH_DATABASE_CONNECTION_REFUSED = "08004.C.3";
String AUTH_SHUTDOWN_NOT_DB_OWNER   = "08004.C.4";
String AUTH_ENCRYPT_NOT_DB_OWNER= "08004.C.5";
...
- snip ---

If, e.g., both these messages

'{0}' cannot be a column of a primary key or unique key because it can 
contain null values.
'{0}' cannot be a column of a primary key because it can contain null 
values.


... should have the same 42831 error code, you would need something like 
this in the SQLState.java file:


String LANG_DB2_ADD_UNIQUE_OR_PRIMARY_KEY_ON_NULL_COLS = "42831.S.1";
String LANG_DB2_ADD_PRIMARY_KEY_ON_NULL_COLS = "42831.S.2";

'S' because 42831 is statement severity level (see class javadoc in 
SQLState.java), while 1 and 2 are used to tell the messages apart. 
messages.xml also needs to be updated, of course.

Re: [jira] Updated: (DERBY-4186) After failover, test fails when it succeeds in connecting early to failed over slave

2009-04-29 Thread Jørgen Løland

Dag,

Thanks for analyzing and fixing this strange issue! Stopping replication 
before the startSlave command had completed was never on my mind :-/


I had a look at you patch though, and I think you can fix this bug with 
even less code.


From SlaveDatabase.java:86:
/** Set by the database boot thread if it fails before slave mode
 * has been started properly (i.e., if inBoot is true). This
 * exception will then be reported to the client connection. */
private volatile StandardException bootException;

bootException is only set in one place - SlaveDatabase#handleShutdown. 
There you'll also see the reason for the limbo state that made the tests 
fail: if an exception makes the slave replication code call 
handleShutdown while booting is in progress, the database is supposed to 
be shutdown by the client thread when it receives an exception from 
SlaveDatabase.boot().


As you already found out, that didn't happen because the bootException 
was set during the 500 millis waiting in verifySuccesfulBoot. However, 
this should apply to any exception in bootException, not only 
DATABASE_SEVERITY ones (although I *think* only DB severity exceptions 
will be reported here).


I would go with the same code that is inside the while. Thus, instead of

+if (bootException != null &&
+SQLState.SHUTDOWN_DATABASE.startsWith(
+bootException.getSQLState()) &&
+bootException.getSeverity() == 
ExceptionSeverity.DATABASE_SEVERITY) {


use

+if (bootException != null)

In the code, after a stopMaster is given to the master (should lead to 
fail-over),
the tests expects to see CANNOT_CONNECT_TO_DB_IN_SLAVE_MODE (08004.C.7), which 
will only succeed if
the tests gets to try to connect before the failover has started. This seems 
wrong. If the failover has completed, it should expect a successful
connect (which boots the database, btw, since its shut down after auccessful 
failover).
Quote from code:
waitForSQLState("08004", 100L, 20, // 08004.C.7 - 
CANNOT_CONNECT_TO_DB_IN_SLAVE_MODE
slaveDatabasePath + FS + slaveDbSubPath + FS + replicatedDb,
slaveServerHost, slaveServerPort); // _failOver above fails...
There is a race between the failover on the slave and the test here I think.

This concerns the Derby Server And Administration Guide.
In the chapter 'Replication and Security', it is specified :

Add the following permission to the policy file on the slave system:

  permission java.net.SocketPermission "slaveHost", "accept,resolve";


I could have success with replication only if I use the 'masterHost' in place 
of 'slaveHost' on the slaves's security policy file. It seems logical to 
configure the slave host to accept any request from the master host.

May be the docs should be updated.

Re: [jira] Updated: (DERBY-1484) Client and embedded behave differently when the table name is null in DatabaseMetaData methods

2007-05-07 Thread Jørgen Løland

Myrna van Lunteren wrote:

Jørgen,
I think a Release note is needed for every change that actually
changes behavior - incl. undocumented  and incorrect behavior.
Release Notes are a help to users to identify those changes in
behavior that could impact them when upgrading.
Needing a release note for a subtask, or a test, or documentation
change is debatable, but I think this one could have a short release
note. Please see DERBY-2570 for the template.

Thx,
Myrna



Thank you for commenting on this, Myrna.

ReleaseNote text attempt:

Summary of Change
Tablenames can no longer be null in calls to DatabaseMetaData methods 
getBestRowIdentifier(), getColumnPrivileges(), getIndexInfo(), 
getVersionColumns(), getPrimaryKeys(), getImportedKeys() and 
getExportedKeys().


*Comment: The above is a rather long one-liner, but I think all the 
information is required*


Symptoms Seen by Applications Affected by Change
In the previous release, the methods returned information on all tables 
in the schema if the tablename parameter was null. Derby now raises an 
SQLException if the tablename is null.


Incompatibilities with Previous Release
Calls to the specified methods now fail if the tablename parameter is null.

Rationale for Change
The previous behavior violated the JDBC standard. The new behavior is 
correct.


Application Changes Required
Users must recode applications to specify the table names. When 
information on multiple tables is required, the application first has to 
get the table names, e.g. by using the DatabaseMetaData method 
getTables(), and then use the returned table names as input to the 
method in question.

Re: query for Primary Key Columns

2007-05-22 Thread Jørgen Løland

Hi Ollie,

I think you have to use a stored procedure to get the primary key. The 
call to this stored procedure would be:


call sysibm.sqlprimarykeys(,,,);

Since there are no catalogs in Derby, the following stored procedure 
call would provide you with the pk information:


call sysibm.sqlprimarykeys(null,'','','');

Alternatively, if you use JDBC to access the database, I would recommend 
 you to have a look at the getPrimaryKeys method in DatabaseMetadata.


P.S. Questions like these would normally go to the derby-user mailing list.

Compilation problem - head of trunk and JDK6

2007-10-24 Thread Jørgen Løland
In the current proof of concept replication code, we boot the slave 
database by calling


Database db =
   (Database)Monitor.findService(Property.DATABASE_MODULE, dbname);

This requires org.apache.derby.iapi.db.Database to be imported. With the 
head of trunk, this import results in compilation errors that seem to be 
related to VTIs and probably the new requirements to compile environment 
(see further down for compile error). Any ideas for how I should proceed 
with this? The problem was probably introduced this or last week.


To get this error, add "import org.apache.derby.iapi.db.Database" to 
NetworkServerControlImpl.java and compile with JDK6.

1) when you attempt the first connect
2) when a connection failure occurs

1) I believe that if an IOException occurs here we should log the exception and exit. 
   User can handle the cause of the exception here and can restart replication after 
   correcting the problem. We do not know the severity of the cause of the IOException. 
   So it is very difficult to distinguish between when we should stop and re-try based

   on the cause. So I believe here we should exit when a timeout occurs.

2) Here we should re-try if a timeout or a IOException occurs. This would take 
care of

Re: Finding object type

2008-01-20 Thread Jørgen Løland

Is there a function in the derby source code to find the type of an object..

i.e. if the XXX is a table , it should return 'TABLE' ..
if YYY is a view, it should return 'VIEW'..
or anything like that??

please tell where to look for it..
please help asap...


Hi Jazarine,

Would it be possible to use JDBC in your case? If so, you could e.g. 
have a look at DatabaseMetaData.getTables (check out the Java API). If 
that is not an option, you may write a query like the one below to get 
all non-system tables and views.


select tablename, tabletype from sys.systables where tabletype not like 'S';

A tabletype of "T" is a normal table, while "V" means view.

These methods should work if you want to find the table type from an 
application using Derby. If you want to find the tabletype *inside 
Derby* (because you modify the source code), I would start looking at 
org.apache.derby.client.am.DatabaseMetaData#getTables and find out what 
happens there.


Hope this helps

I have second thoughts over defaulting to "Grant license to ASF ... ". 
That could lead to someone adding code which is owned by someone else 
*with* a grant ASF even when that wasn't intentional. I fear that could 
lead to a very big legal mess (but no I'm not a lawyer so I could be 
wrong). Forcing the user to click the radio button means they make a 
conscious choice wrt granting ASF the license?


See your point, but maybe we could at least get an error message if 
*none* of the radio buttons were selected? As it is now, you're not 
forced to chose any of them. Anyway, this is just a "nice to have" 
functionality.

Is it possible to shutdown a service module without shutting down the database?

2008-02-12 Thread Jørgen Løland
Most of the replication functionality has been added as services named 
MasterFactory and SlaveFactory (implemenentations called Master and 
SlaveController). These are booted from RawStore when replication is 
started, by using Monitor.bootServiceModule. So far, so good.


When replication is stopped, however, there does not seem to be any way 
to remove these services from the monitor without shutting down the 
entire database. If I understand this correctly, there will be a 
reference in Monitor to this service for the entire lifetime of the 
database. That would also mean that the object cannot be gc'ed, which 
looks like a (small) memory leak to me. In addition, this would prevent 
us from creating a new module object of the same type since 
bootServiceModule would return the reference to the old one.


I have tried Monitor.getMonitor().shutdown(slaveFactory_reference), but 
this method shuts down the entire database. An alternative is to call 
stop() on the module, which would stop it from doing anything but not 
remove it's reference in the Monitor. What I'm looking for is basically 
this (from Monitor class javadoc):


"Optionally -  an individual module within a service may be shutdown, 
this will in turn shutdown any modules it started if those module are 
not in use by other modules within the service. This would be handled by 
the monitor, not the module itself."


Am I missing something, or is this functionality not implemented?

Opinions please - some questions regarding replication

2008-02-13 Thread Jørgen Løland

I have a few questions regarding replication that would be great
to hear the community's opinion on before the 10.4 branching. The
reason for bringing this up before code freeze is that these will
have impact on existing applications if changed later.

1. The master of a replicated database ships log records and
   other information to the slave through a network socket. 8001
   is currently default port for this communication. From
   http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers it seems that
   this port is reserved for

   vcom-tunnel8001/tcpVCOM Tunnel
   vcom-tunnel8001/udpVCOM Tunnel

   Should we change port, and maybe even register a port in IANA,
   or is it fine as it is? I have no idea how long it will take
   to register a port, but chances are it will be longer than the
   time we have for 10.4 with the current plan. Another
   alternative is to use a port from the range called "dynamic
   and/or private ports" (49152 through 65535) BTW: I noticed
   that 1527 is registered by Oracle, which may also be a
   problem?

   tlisrv  1527/tcporacle
   tlisrv  1527/udporacle

   Note that this is only a question of default port. The port
   number may be set explicitly by the client starting
   replication.

2. About a week ago, Dibyendu Majumdar raised a question about
   why the replication modules are placed under services and not
   store. Should replication be moved from
   org.apache.derby.{iapi|impl}.services.replication to e.g.
   org.apache.derby.{iapi|impl}.store.replication, or is it OK to keep
   the current placement?

3. Should replication be shipped in a separate JAR file? Pros and
   cons as I see it:

   + Remove 65KB (unjared) of class files from derby.jar
   + Possible to have a different security policy file for replication?
   - Yet another JAR file

Re: using the EmbedConnection#handleExceptions method in failover

Hi,

While working on the failover issue in replication, I have a requirement 
that I need to shutdown
the master database when a failover is successful. I use the logic that 
throwing an exception

with Database severity should shutdown the database.

For this to happen from going through the EmbedConnection class I 
concluded that I need to
parse the exception that is thrown with the handleExceptions method that 
is part of this class.
The handleExceptions method basically tests the severity of the 
exception thrown and performs

appropriate action.

Can a person who knows about this method better please tell me if I have 
concluded correctly and

if what I think the handleExceptions method does is correct?

Narayanan



Hi Narayanan,

To make an exception shut down a database, there are a few requirements:

1) The exception must be database severity (SQLState x.D)
2) The thread that caused the exception must have the database context. 
You get this for free as long as the client connection attempt has 
called tr.startTransaction in EmbedConnection#creator

3) The exception must be a StandardException

I had a look at the master side failover code, and you have 1) and 2) 
covered. However, the StandardException thrown from MasterController is 
wrapped in an SQLException in BasicDatabase. I think DERBY-3428 can be 
solved by not wrapping the exception.

Re: Opinions please - some questions regarding replication

2008-02-19 Thread Jørgen Løland

A short summary of the thread so far:

1. Rick and Jørgen thinks it would be good to register a port. We will 
use 8001 for now unless someone has another suggestion, but will write 
clearly in the documentation that the default port is likely to change. 
I will create a jira for this and then contact IANA to get a port.


2. Dan, Dibyendu and Jørgen thinks it would be good to move the 
replication code to o.a.d.i.store.replication (since replication is 
integrated with the store). I'll create a jira for this.


3. It is possible to make a separate jar for replication if we solve 
some sealing issues (Dan, Narayanan), but with only 65K of uncompressed 
class files it may not be worth it (Rick, Jørgen). *Not concluded yet.*

Re: Updating rows with an open cursor...what is the expected behavior?

Army wrote:
The remaining question is whether or not this is correct.  I'm hoping 
Knut Anders is right when he wrote:

That's what I'm looking for :) 


SQL-2003 states the following for cursors and updates (Chp 4.32.2. 
Operations on and using cursors):


--8<--
If a cursor is open, and the SQL-transaction in which the cursor was 
opened makes a significant [1] change to SQL-data, then whether that 
change is visible through that cursor before it is closed is determined 
as follows:

- If the cursor is insensitive, then significant changes are not visible.
- If the cursor is sensitive, then significant changes are visible.
- If the cursor is asensitive, then the visibility of significant 
changes is implementation-dependent.

-->8---

Comment:
[1] significant meaning update performed by other commands than statement: posisioned> that would have had affect if commited before the 
cursor was opened.


Hence, the behavior described by Army is correct iff the cursor is 
defined as asensitive. Further more:


Chp 14.1 (declare cursor):
--8<-
5) If  is not specified, then ASENSITIVE is implicit.
-->8-


My understanding is therefore that the differences between index and 
scan is allowed by SQL 2003. An interesting question is what Derby does 
if the cursor is specified to be either sensitive or insensitive...



 Note that I was able to reproduce this
behavior with a JDBC program, inlined at the end of this email.  That 
program uses the Connection.createStatement() method, which means that 
result sets from that statement should default to TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY (as 
opposed to SCROLL_INSENSITIVE or SCROLL_SENSITIVE).


So it seems like the question is: should a "forward only" result set be 
sensitive to updates to rows that it hasn't read yet?  Or is this 
documented somewhere in JDBC as "not guaranteed" (or whatever the 
correct term is)?  Unless there is doc saying that such a thing leads to 
undefined behavior (per Knut Anders' suggestion), it seems odd (to me) 
that the "sensitivity" of a forward-only result set apparently depends 
on the underlying Derby scan type...


As defined in SQL 2003, ASENSITIVE is the default sensitivity.

Re: Updating rows with an open cursor...what is the expected behavior?

2007-06-13 Thread Jørgen Løland
I discussed this with Bernt just now, and found the following in the 
JDBC 4 spec to be of interest as well:


--8<--
The three different ResultSet types are described below.
1. TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY The result set is not scrollable; its cursor moves 
forward only, from before the first row to after the last row.  

The rows contained in the result set depend on how the underlying 
database materializes the results. That is, it contains the rows that 
satisfy the query at either the time the query is executed or as the 
rows are retrieved.


2. TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE  The result set is scrollable; its cursor can 
move both forward and backward relative to the current position, and it 
can move to an absolute position.


The result set is insensitive to changes made to the underlying data 
source while it is open. It contains the rows that satisfy the query at 
either the time the query is executed or as the rows are retrieved.


3. TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE  The result set is scrollable; its cursor can 
move both forward and backward relative to the current position, and it 
can move to an absolute position.  

The result set reflects changes made to the underlying data source while 
the result set remains open. The default ResultSet type is 
TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY.

-->8--

It looks like the default behavior (TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY) is more or less 
the same as SQL ASENSITIVE. "That is, it contains the rows that satisfy 
the query ... as the rows are retrieved" should allow different results 
when index and scan are used.

Siterer Knut Anders Hatlen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


We could also take the idea one step further and create a file with

and default value. This could be helpful information both for
management/monitoring and perhaps some time for automatically generated
documentation.


I like this idea, it's pretty much what Derby is lacking wrt.
properties; A clean and comprehensible interface. I don't know if this
has to be done the hardcore way with XML or something, or if we could
just do it with commenting. I think derby.properties uses # for
comments. Keeping it simple is a must I guess?



Storing default property values in a default.properties file sounds like 
a very good idea. Personally, I think the way properties are handled in 
the Derby code is developer-unfriendly with the mixture of hardcoded 
variables and Property objects. Every now and then, I have to 
text-search for a property name and see what the value of the 
alternative is. A properties file in derby.jar would make this much easier.


If possible, I think it would be good to use the same format for this 
file and derby.properties. Since the format of derby.properties has 
already been defined, I think it would be better to go with that than 
with xml. Just my $0.02.

08006 seems to be a network client error, wouldn't a new 08004 (the

in the spirit of existing allocations? But I am OK with XRE02.C, too.

I looked at some other non-"08xxx" which have session severity level
in Derby, but am not sure they give much guidance. Maybe we should
prefer 08004 when reasonble, since this has standard SQL semantics
(not implementation defined). In JDBC 4 this SQLSTATE class has a
defined mapping to SQL(Non)TransientConnectionExceptions, too.

I must admit I feel a bit out on a limb, here, so it someone has any
general guidelines for how to allocate new error codes in Derby, I,
for one, would appreciate it.


I agree; it makes sense to use existing SQL codes whenever possible and 
new, custom error codes when the message does not fit anywhere else.


Hence, in this case, 08004 seems to be the better choice.

Hi Mayuresh,

Thanks for a great suggestion. We will definitely take this into account :)

Planning has started for junit testing of the replication feature, but
as far as I know, no plans have been made for writing messages/tracing 
to e.g. derby.log. However, I think this is a very good idea. We should 
at least have messages like:


derby.log on master:
ReplicationMaster flushTo: 999
ReplicationMaster LogShipper: sent message 1234 to slave, highest log 
instant: 999


derby.log on slave:
ReplicationSlave: received message 1234, highest log instant: 999
ReplicationSlave: appended log instant 555
ReplicationSlave: appended log instant 672
ReplicationSlave: appended log instant 999

It is to early to make a guess for how much and detailed information 
would be required, but that can be decided upon as the work progresses. 
The derby.log messages should be turned on by a replication_debug 
variable being true since a lot of messages would otherwise be generated.

Re: [jira] Commented: (DERBY-3064) Implement the LogShipper that will enable the shipping of Log records from the master to the slave

2007-09-24 Thread Jørgen Løland

2. It seems like you suggest that the shipping thread will continously
  check to see whether the timeout has expired. Generally, such
  busy-waits should be avoided. I think you should introduce a timer
  or something so that the thread can be suspended until it is time
  to ship log records. 


I have introduced the time concept to overcome the limitation imposed by
DaemonFactory.

The DaemonFactory would call performWork (i.e.) ship log records at its own
convinience. As i understand it we cannot configure DaemonFactory to transmit
at our mentioned time interval.

So, When performWork is called entirely depends on how good DaemonFactory is 
feeling :-)

We do not want this to happen, because what if this is too soon for us or what 
if it
is too late.

Hence we introduce a transmit interval variable that calculates the difference 
between the
last call and the current call of performWork or rather 
shipALogChunk(forceFlush also)



If I understand you correctly, this time interval will only be helpful 
in the "too soon" case, not the "too late" case.


When I wrote version 2 of the proof of concept patches (see DERBY-2872), 
I used a Daemon to read log records at the slave side. I basically had:


performWork {
  if (messageWaitingForProcess) processMessage();
}

The waiting interval between each time performWork was called was way 
too high for this usage (in the order of 3-10 seconds). This interval is 
probably too high for the log shipper as well, so my guess is that 
you'll need something similar to an eternal loop with a wait(millis) 
somewhere in this package.

Re: deprecation warnings with jdk15 build

Hi,

Now that we switched to jdk15 as the base level for the trunk, I see a
ton of deprecation warnings.
My jdk is: Sun's 1.5.0_12-b04, and I've got build.compiler set to modern

I find it bothersome and hard to see 'real' build failures like this,
but trunk/tools/ant/properties/modern.properties has deprecation set
to 'on'.
Would it be reasonable to set this to 'off' or am I the only one
seeing these warnings?
Or is there another trick I need to do?

Thx,
Myrna



Wouldn't it be even better if we fixed these? There is usually a good 
reason for deprecating methods, e.g. performance.
