1. Just changed
|
|
TAS(lock) to pthread_mutex_trylock(lock)
|
|
S_LOCK(lock) to pthread_mutex_lock(lock)
|
|
S_UNLOCK(lock) to pthread_mutex_unlock(lock)
|
|
(and S_INIT_LOCK to share mutex-es between processes).
|
|
|
|
2. pgbench was initialized with scale 10.
|
|
SUN WS 10 (512Mb), Solaris 2.6 (I'm unable to test on E4500 -:()
|
|
-B 16384, wal_files 8, wal_buffers 256,
|
|
checkpoint_segments 64, checkpoint_timeout 3600
|
|
50 clients x 100 transactions
|
|
(after initialization DB dir was saved and before each test
|
|
copyed back and vacuum-ed).
|
|
|
|
3. No difference.
|
|
Mutex version maybe 0.5-1 % faster (eg: 37.264238 tps vs 37.083339 tps).
|
|
|
|
So - no gain, but no performance loss "from using pthread library"
|
|
(I've also run tests with 1 client), at least on Solaris.
|
|
|
|
And so - looks like we can use POSIX mutex-es and conditional variables
|
|
(not semaphores; man pthread_cond_wait) and should implement light lmgr,
|
|
probably with priority locking.

I have talked in the past about a possible implementation of
|
|
savepoints/nested transactions. I would like to more formally outline
|
|
my ideas below.
|
|
|
|
We have talked about using WAL for such a purpose, but that requires WAL
|
|
files to remain for the life of a transaction, which seems unacceptable.
|
|
Other database systems do that, and it is a pain for administrators. I
|
|
realized we could do some sort of WAL compaction, but that seems quite
|
|
complex too.
|
|
|
|
Basically, under my plan, WAL would be unchanged. WAL's function is
|
|
crash recovery, and it would retain that. There would also be no
|
|
on-disk changes. I would use the command counter in certain cases to
|
|
identify savepoints.
|
|
|
|
My idea is to keep savepoint undo information in a private area per
|
|
backend, either in memory or on disk. We can either save the
|
|
relid/tids of modified rows, or if there are too many, discard the
|
|
saved ones and just remember the modified relids. On rollback to save
|
|
point, either clear up the modified relid/tids, or sequential scan
|
|
through the relid and clear up all the tuples that have our transaction
|
|
id and have command counters that are part of the undo savepoint.
|
|
|
|
It seems marking undo savepoint rows with a fixed aborted transaction id
|
|
would be the easiest solution.
|
|
|
|
Of course, we only remember modified rows when we are in savepoints, and
|
|
only undo them when we rollback to a savepoint. Transaction processing
|
|
remains the same.
|
|
|
|
There is no reason for other backend to be able to see savepoint undo
|
|
information, and keeping it private greatly simplifies the
|
|
implementation.

This is a pointer to the previous August thread, where your original proposal
|
|
was posted, and some WAL/not WAL discussion took place. Just not to repeat the
|
|
already mentioned points. Oh, it's google archive just for fun, and to not
|
|
overload hub.org ;-)
