LMDB and HP-UX Itanium
by Kristian Amlie 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

I'm wondering if the LMDB database has been tested on HP-UX with the Itanium processor? We are trying to use the database there and are seeing strange errors that don't occur on other platforms. Examples are assertions when trying to do cross process access and values not making it into the database correctly. I can provide more details, but I thought I would ask about the current status first. -- Kristian

LMDB error
by Shu, Xinxin 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi list , I am working on intergrating LMDB with ceph, I met follow error "Invalid argument" when I commit transaction to LMDB, details are descripted as following. Two threads operate on LMDB, each thread is responsible for create write transaction and read transaction , the write transaction will update LMDB, and read transaction is for iterator that read values from LMDB, the two threads share same MDB_env. I check mdb_txn_commit source code , there are two places to return "EINVAL", 1. if (txn == NULL || txn->mt_env == NULL) return EINVAL; 2. if (txn != env->me_txn) { DPUTS("attempt to commit unknown transaction"); rc = EINVAL; goto fail; } I check txn and txn->mt_env and rule out the first case , so only the second case cause "EINVAL", and variable env->me_txn is only initialized when you start a write transaction with mdb_txn_open, and there is a lock to prevent several writer from operating on LMDB. Btw , I tried to add lock to synchronize the two threads , everything seems ok. My question is in what situation can cause "txn != env-> me_txn",. I'm very new to LMDB, if there is anything wrong, please correct me. Cheers, xinxin

two namingContexts problem
by Wang, Hui 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi, All, I got two nameContexts, but I only set up one in slapd.conf which is o=csun. Is there any way to find out where the other nameContexts coming from? Is this normal? I also searched all the files on Linux, I didn’t find any file contains “cn=changelog” in the file content. [root@oldaptest01 init.d]# ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <> with scope baseObject # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: namingContexts # # dn: namingContexts: cn=changelog namingContexts: o=csun # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 # find -name "*.conf" -print | xargs grep -i "cn=change" No result Thank you Hui

[lmdb] MDB_BAD_DBI error upon mdb_txn_commit (newbie question)
by HLaw 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Dear list, I am new to lmdb and my apologies if this is on something obvious. I encountered the MDB_BAD_DBI error in a simple single process, multi-threaded program using lmdb. The scenario is : * One thread doing a relatively long write transaction mdb_txn_begin -> mdb_dbi_open on several database -> (write) -> mdb_txn_commit * Another thread (or other threads) of the same process doing short read-only transactions mdb_txn_begin -> mdb_dbi_open on some of the database above -> (read) -> mdb_txn_commit As per the advice in the document I do not close the database directly. Also the environment created / opened is shared by all threads, being in the same process. All is fine when these threads execute separately, but if the read transaction thread(s) open the database and commit within the time span of the write transaction in another thread, the above error occurs upon attempt to commit the write transaction. I have done a search on the MDB_BAD_DBI error and noticed the commit below. https://gitorious.org/mdb/mdb/commit/0401f2deed75a83d2de790b8a1313e1792e5a0… Upon a brief look into this and the source of lmdb, my understanding is that the error is due to the increment of lmdb's internal sequence numbers of the database kept by the environment (by the read thread when the read transaction commits). When the write thread subsequently tries to commit, the database sequence number kept privately by the write transaction (copied from the environment when the transaction began) does not match that of the environment, causing the error. To avoid this in a single process multi-threaded environment, it seems that no read transactions could commit on databases while they are involved in a write transaction, i.e. I need to complete all read transactions before a write transaction on the same database could begin. Alternatively, to have concurrent read transactions with a write transaction, the read transactions have to take place in a separate process (such that they would not share the same environment and caught by the above error). Grateful if anyone could kindly enlighten me on whether the understanding is correct, or if I am doing something contrary to the how lmdb should be used. Thank you very much. - H Law

Definition of an object.
by dE 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hi! I was reading RFC 4512, here there is a mention of 'object' for the first time in "Object identifiers (OIDs) [X.680] are represented in....". Question is what is an object? Is it an entry (aka directory) in the server?

Very slow ldapserach
by Saša-Stjepan Bakša 07 Apr '15

Hi, Year ago we have tested openldap with back_mdb and it was fantastic. Search worked as a charm. Database was filled with 20 mil. users and serach returned some 20 k results per sec (my colegue did the test). Now we need that setup for some tests and we encountered very slow response - 1 search for user data with some aliased data need 8 to 20 seconds to be retrieved. ldapsearch -h 10.14.252.104 -p 389 -D cn=admin,dc=spr -w test -s sub -a always -b num=1234563123,dc=num,dc=SPR ObjectClass=* num=1234563123,dc=num,dc=SPR is alias to uid aliasedObjectName: uid=1234563123,ds=USERS,o=STANDARD,dc=spr We build our openldap from git source. We have tried new as older versions as well and no change is seen. Hardware: SuperMicro, 2xQuad core, 32 GB RAM, RAID 10 storage. HP blade 2xQuad core, 64 GB RAM sorage 2 disks in mirror.

Multiple programs not able to read LMDB concurrently
by Sravan Kumar Reddy Javaji 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Hello Everyone, I am trying to access same LMDB source using multiple programs at the same time. I set max_readers to 2 at the time of creating environment by the first program, but still second program is not able to read the LMDB. Could some one please let me know how could I implement this feature? - Thanks and Regards, Sravan
