Fix persistence marking of shared buffers during WAL replay
|
||||
(Jeff Davis)
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
This mistake can result in buffers not being written out during
|
||||
checkpoints, resulting in data corruption if the server later crashes
|
||||
without ever having written those buffers. Corruption can occur on
|
||||
any server following crash recovery, but it is significantly more
|
||||
likely to occur on standby slave servers since those perform much
|
||||
more WAL replay. There is a low probability of corruption of btree
|
||||
and GIN indexes. There is a much higher probability of corruption of
|
||||
table <quote>visibility maps</>. Fortunately, visibility maps are
|
||||
non-critical data in 9.1, so the worst consequence of such corruption
|
||||
in 9.1 installations is transient inefficiency of vacuuming. Table
|
||||
data proper cannot be corrupted by this bug.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
While no index corruption due to this bug is known to have occurred
|
||||
in the field, as a precautionary measure it is recommended that
|
||||
production installations <command>REINDEX</> all btree and GIN
|
||||
indexes at a convenient time after upgrading to 9.1.6.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Also, if you intend to do an in-place upgrade to 9.2.X, before doing
|
||||
so it is recommended to perform a <command>VACUUM</> of all tables
|
||||
while having <link
|
||||
linkend="guc-vacuum-freeze-table-age"><varname>vacuum_freeze_table_age</></link>
|
||||
set to zero. This will ensure that any lingering wrong data in the
|
||||
visibility maps is corrected before 9.2.X can depend on it. <link
|
||||
linkend="guc-vacuum-cost-delay"><varname>vacuum_cost_delay</></link>
|
||||
can be adjusted to reduce the performance impact of vacuuming, while
|
||||
causing it to take longer to finish.

Fix persistence marking of shared buffers during WAL replay
|
||||
(Jeff Davis)
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
This mistake can result in buffers not being written out during
|
||||
checkpoints, resulting in data corruption if the server later crashes
|
||||
without ever having written those buffers. Corruption can occur on
|
||||
any server following crash recovery, but it is significantly more
|
||||
likely to occur on standby slave servers since those perform much
|
||||
more WAL replay. There is a low probability of corruption of btree
|
||||
and GIN indexes. There is a much higher probability of corruption
|
||||
of table <quote>visibility maps</>, which might lead to wrong answers
|
||||
from index-only scans. Table data proper cannot be corrupted by this
|
||||
bug.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
While no index corruption due to this bug is known to have occurred
|
||||
in the field, as a precautionary measure it is recommended that
|
||||
production installations <command>REINDEX</> all btree and GIN
|
||||
indexes at a convenient time after upgrading to 9.2.1.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Also, it is recommended to perform a <command>VACUUM</> of all tables
|
||||
while having <link
|
||||
linkend="guc-vacuum-freeze-table-age"><varname>vacuum_freeze_table_age</></link>
|
||||
set to zero. This will fix any incorrect visibility map data. <link
|
||||
linkend="guc-vacuum-cost-delay"><varname>vacuum_cost_delay</></link>
|
||||
can be adjusted to reduce the performance impact of vacuuming, while
|
||||
causing it to take longer to finish.
