#47819 RFE - improve tombstone purging performance
Closed: wontfix None Opened 9 years ago by mreynolds.

Tombstone purging/reaping can be very expensive, especially if the number of tombstones exceeds the idlistscanlimit. The tombstone purging thread issues internal subtree searches for "(objectlclass=nsTombstone)".

Perhaps set the objectclass index scan limit for "objectclass: nstombstone" to a very large value(or unlimited).


I strongly do not want to have backups/db files/other binary files in the git repository. Isn't there some way that the test can create these files at test time?

Not in the current version of lib389. I need a backup or database from an older version of 389 to test the fixup task. For now I can remove the test for the fixup task(backup files) until lib389 can handle multi-version servers.

How much older?

Pre-patch. My fix automatically starts maintaining the new index, so I need to create a backup from a server that does not have my patch applied. Then restore a db backup into a server that does have my patch applied. So it's kind of simulating an upgrade. Then run the fix up task.

Ok. Can the test do this?
1) create a db with some tombstones
2) db2ldif -r to export those tombstones
3) edit the ldif to remove the nstombstonecsn attributes
4) remove the index configuration for the nstombstonecsn index
5) import the ldif
6) db2bak
the backup should then be in the "pre-upgrade" state

Then you can reconfigure the server to use the nstombstonecsn index and do the tests with the older database.

{{{
- if(!op->o_reverse_search_state){
+ if(!op->o_reverse_search_state && sr->sr_candidates){
}}}

This looks unrelated - is this another bug?

{{{

define TASK_SYSCONFIG_RELOAD_DN "cn=sysconfig reload,cn=tasks,cn=config"

}}}

This patch adds the sysconfig reload task DN?

I'll give this a shot, but it is hardcoded to add nstombstoneCSN during imports.

This fixed a crash I ran into when creating/testing the fixup task.

{{{

define TASK_SYSCONFIG_RELOAD_DN "cn=sysconfig reload,cn=tasks,cn=config"

This patch adds the sysconfig reload task DN?

Oh yeah, unrelated I suppose, I was just adding it for completeness in task.c.

Yeah the attribute is still added to the entry during the import(import_producer).

I could add a hidden option to the fixup task to strip nsTombstoneCSN instead of adding it. I'm not seeing another option without making larger changes to the patch just so we can test the fixup task.

Ok. That sounds like the best option for testing.

New patch is attached.

The latest patch still has the sysconfig reload and the sr->sr_candidates patches. Those should really be in separate tickets & patches.

Although replica->precise_purging has a Slapi_Counter type:
{{{
repl5_replica.c: Slapi_Counter precise_purging; / Enable precise tombstone purging */

repl5_replica.c: slapi_counter_set_value(r->precise_purging, 1);
}}}
a counter is not generated for precise_purging...
$ egrep slapi_counter_new *.c
repl5_agmt.c: ra->protocol_timeout = slapi_counter_new();
repl5_replica.c: r->protocol_timeout = slapi_counter_new();
repl5_replica.c: r->backoff_min = slapi_counter_new();
repl5_replica.c: r->backoff_max = slapi_counter_new();

git patch file (master) -- adding slapi_counter_new and _destroy for replica->precise_purging

Wow, so I guess it was always evaluated as "on"? Good catch!

Thanks for reviewing the change, Mark!!
