We are using the combination: envflags writemap nosync lifo checkpoint 0 1 If the checkpoint is set in seconds, it gives us the assurance consistent state database on disk. However, without this patch meta-pages can be written by the kernel before the data. In fact, for a full guarantee in case of death slapd process, meta-page should be written explicitly. But it requires a lot of changes and I do not do that. >> commit 0c168d0e63ed78d13df3fc8a42f3667335678639 >> Author: Leo Yuriev <leo(a)yuriev.ru> >> Date: 2014-09-20 10:13:28 +0400 >> >> FEATURE - lmdb: MDB_LIFORECLAIM & MDB_COALESCE modes. >> >> Reclaim FreeDB in LIFO order - this is a main feature. >> Also aim to coalesce small FreeDFB records. > > Will spend more time looking at this closer.

Retries will be if there an intensive flow of changes. In this case it will be a lot of updated pages, the record which will take some time. However, in subsequent iterations (if a transactions had committed while there was a record), the modified pages will be much fewer, and the sync will be quick. Thus (and it was seen in tests) even when a substantial amount of the transactions, usually only two iterations of the cycle, without locking and flow of changes are not suspended. >> commit 147f41a8110f28456bc32123bde86d47183f9c0a >> Author: Leo Yuriev <leo(a)yuriev.ru> >> Date: 2014-09-04 16:01:15 +0400 >> >> FEATURE - lmdb: implementation of "checkpoint kbytes". >> >> Force flush when volume of the changes reached a configurable >> threshold. > > > Probably OK.

As I had wrote above, we are using the combination: envflags writemap nosync lifo checkpoint 0 1 If the interval is specified in minutes, then it can not be set less than one minute. But it's too big amount of time to allow lost the updates. However, setting the synchronization interval of one second, we reduce the amount of losses in the event of an accident to an acceptable level, while the load on the storage system is acceptable even for a large flow of updates. As a result, I have not found a better solution than simply replace the minutes by the seconds. >> commit fc409d89e0d9dde20f612e34c2a463c8a81ea000 >> Author: Leo Yuriev <leo(a)yuriev.ru> >> Date: 2014-09-20 06:51:04 +0400 >> >> EXTENSION - lmdb: more usefull info from mdb_stat tool. > > > A bit ambiguous. me_tail_txnid is actually the ID of the oldest reader, not > the "last" reader.

(ITS#7958) LMDB: LIFO-reclaiming, write-performance improvement & bugfixes
by leo＠yuriev.ru 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Full_Name: Leonid Yuriev Version: 2.4.40 OS: RHEL7 URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (31.130.36.33) Solution for: ITS#7841 and "OpenLDAP + LMDB Back-End - request 300719-14-EXO" When using LMDB as a backend under the heavy load with add/modify/delete transactions, a huge number of disk writes is generated. In generally this patchset give a bonus of 10-100 times write-performance at the cost of consistency on disk in a one second. 1. Adds a configurable LIFO-policy for reclaiming of FreeDB records. Thus, only a small subset of pages will be updated and re-written on disk repetitive. This allow storage subsystem to effective combine such disk writes. As a result write-performance grow up to 100 times in case of write-back cache or "writemap" mode. 2. Checkpoints with consistency and a second exactness. It is possible and very useful the following settings, for example: envflags writemap nosync lifo checkpoint 0 1 3.
