#49313 Change the retrochangelog default cache size. And also if possible, the default caches.
Closed: wontfix 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by firstyear.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1466191

Description of problem:

I have not tested auto tuning of caches yet in RHEL7.4 but currently, we are
having a very high issue with customer in IPA environment.

All the updates go to retrochangelog even if the only component that needs them
is DNS.

When the retro changelog is enabled, the database is created and by default:

./ldap/servers/plugins/retroclretrocl.h:

#define RETROCL_BE_CACHEMEMSIZE  "2097152"

the size is not reasonable.

This, that should be only provoking performance issues, is driving to database
corruption and inconsistencies as well.

Let's change this as soon as possible to a reasonable value. It's just a one
liner commit.

I am having corruption and inconsistencies in nearly all the customers that are
using ipa in large environments. For instance:

[28/Jun/2017:11:41:17 -0400] - libdb: BDB0689 changelog/id2entry.db page 15397

buffer cache

(this latest should be related to insufficient locks and not the db itself).

But there are multiple issues with retro changelog since any update impacts it
and the cache is not big enough.

Please, give to this bug some priority if this has not been solved with auto
tunning.

Thanks a lot,

German.

I have not been able to reproduce the issue.
I tried with the following settings:

  • low entry cache (cn=changelog) 20K (working around autosize)
  • Large update > 300K
  • 3 sync-repl threads
  • active retroCL trimming

After a discussion with @gparente, @lkrispen and @firstyear we have not a clear understanding why increasing the entry cache prevents the DB corruption BUT we know that setting entry cache to 200Mb prevents the DB corruption.
So the fix is known although we do not know understand why it works :(

Preparing a fix in that sense
