LMDB and HP-UX Itanium
by Kristian Amlie
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.

LMDB error
by Shu, Xinxin
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

I am sorry for this mistake with answering to you and not to the group. It
was unintentional mistake.
Ok, I will check ITS#7657.

two namingContexts problem
by Wang, Hui
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

[lmdb] MDB_BAD_DBI error upon mdb_txn_commit (newbie question)
by HLaw
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/0401f2deed75a83d2de790b8a1313e1792e5...
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.

Please keep replies on the list if you want help.
My guess is this is ITS#7657.

Openldap NON responsive frequently
by MOHAMED Akbar
Hello,
Current openldap setup is REPLICATION, with MirrorMode on. Host is solaris11.
Frequently the clients(mostly solaris10), complain of : libsldap: Status: 91 Mesg: openConnection: simple bind failed - Can't connect to the LDAP server
Restarting the opeldap service fixes this
How can I fix this issue?

Definition of an object.
by dE
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
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.
Results are the same and not depending on hardware.

Multiple programs not able to read LMDB concurrently
by Sravan Kumar Reddy Javaji
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?
