[Issue 10275] New: mdb_load could use a parameter to pass batch size

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10275 Issue ID: 10275 Summary: mdb_load could use a parameter to pass batch size Product: LMDB Version: 0.9.21 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: tools Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: gkwicker(a)amazon.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 1037 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=1037&action=edit Patch to mdb_load.c in version 0.9.21 mdb_load is very slow when ingesting a large db. The attached patch (0.9.21 but will apply to other versions with modification) allows the user to pass a batch size to be used instead of the default value of 100. Changing the batch size to a larger value improves ingestion speed.

[Issue 10108] New: "mdb_dump -a" does not dump the main database

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10108 Issue ID: 10108 Summary: "mdb_dump -a" does not dump the main database Product: LMDB Version: 0.9.29 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: tuukka.pensala(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- In mdb_dump.c we have these instructions: /* -a: dump main DB and all subDBs * -s: dump only the named subDB * -n: use NOSUBDIR flag on env_open * -p: use printable characters * -f: write to file instead of stdout * -V: print version and exit * (default) dump only the main DB */ However, contrary to the description, the option -a does not dump the main DB. With argument -a "dumpit(..)" is called for the named databases, but not for the unnamed one. With the current behavior, if the data store contains subDBs and has user-added data in the main DB, there seems to be no way to dump all of it at once using mdb_dump. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9360] New: MDB_BAD_TXN: Transaction must abort, has a child, or is invalid

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9360 Issue ID: 9360 Summary: MDB_BAD_TXN: Transaction must abort, has a child, or is invalid Product: LMDB Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: spam(a)markandruth.co.uk Target Milestone: --- I have 2 python scripts writing to a database (lmdb 0.9.26, py-lmdb 0.98) and 5-10 lua processes (with lightningmdb module which uses lmdb 0.9.22) which are long-running serving queries from the database. The database seems fine, not corrupted, and the python writes still working all the time. But periodically (perhaps 10-20% of the time), in a way I am unable to reliably reproduce, when the lua starts up every time a query is issued txn dbi_open returns "MDB_BAD_TXN: Transaction must abort, has a child, or is invalid". A direct restart of the processes does not fix this issue, however stopping lua+python and then starting again after a 5-20s wait usually fixes the issue. This has been reproduced over multiple servers but I'm at a loss as to how to debug this any further? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Bug 9208] New: LMDB feature request: variant of mdb_env_copy{,fd2} that takes transaction as parameter

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9208 Bug ID: 9208 Summary: LMDB feature request: variant of mdb_env_copy{,fd2} that takes transaction as parameter Product: LMDB Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: github(a)nicwatson.org Target Milestone: --- The mdb_env_copy* functions create a read transaction themselves to run the backup on. New variants of these functions (one for mdb_env_copy2 and one for mdb_env_copyfd2) would have a transaction parameter. This transaction would be used instead of creating a new transaction. Application code could use these new functions to synchronize consistent live backups across multiple LMDB instances (potentially across multiple hosts). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

According to our test, this is faster than using readahead flag. Here are some test data: # mmap with no readahead read one sample: 0.2s total time: 4800s # mmap with readahead read one sample: 0.0001s~0.03s total time: 95.86s # mmap with MAP_POPULATE db init: 20s read one sample: 0.0001s total time: 78s -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 9397] New: LMDB: A second process opening a file with MDB_WRITEMAP can cause the first to SIGBUS

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9397 Issue ID: 9397 Summary: LMDB: A second process opening a file with MDB_WRITEMAP can cause the first to SIGBUS Product: LMDB Version: 0.9.26 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: github(a)nicwatson.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 780 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=780&action=edit Full reproduction of SIGBUS MDB_WRITEMAP issue (works on Linux only) The fundamental problem is that a ftruncate() on Linux that makes a file smaller will cause accesses past the new end of the file to SIGBUS (see the mmap man page). The sequence that causes a SIGBUS involves two processes. 1. The first process opens a new LMDB file with MDB_WRITEMAP. 2. The second process opens the same LMDB file with MDB_WRITEMAP and with an explicit map_size smaller than the first process's map size. * This causes an ftruncate that makes the underlying file *smaller*. 3. (Optional) The second process closes the environment and exits. 4. The first process opens a write transaction and writes a bunch of data. 5. The first process commits the transaction. This causes a memory read from the mapped memory that's now past the end of the file. On Linux, this triggers a SIGBUS. Attached is code that fully reproduces the problem on Linux. The most straightforward solution is to allow ftruncate to *reduce* the file size if it is the only reader. Another possibility is check the file size and ftruncate if necessary every time a write transaction is opened. A third possibility is to catch the SIGBUS signal. Repro note: I used clone() to create the subprocess to most straightforwardly demonstrate that the problem is not due to inherited file descriptors. The problem still manifests when the processes are completely independent. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
