PostgreSQL 最佳实践 - 块级别增量备份(pg_rman baseon LSN)源码浅析与使用
背景
对于商业数据库来说，备份的功能一般都非常的全面。
比如Oracle，它的备份工具rman是非常强大的，很多年前就已经支持全量、增量、归档的备份模式，支持压缩等。
还支持元数据存储到数据库中，管理也非常的方便，例如保留多少归档，备份集的管理也很方便，例如要恢复到什么时间点，将此前的备份清除等等。
对于开源数据库来说，支持向商业版本这么丰富更能的比较少，PostgreSQL算是非常完善的一个。
PostgreSQL作为最高级的开源数据库，备份方面已经向商业数据库看齐。
目前PostgreSQL已经支持类似Oracle的rman备份工具的功能，支持全量、增量、归档三种备份模式，支持压缩，支持备份集的管理等。
有了块级增量备份，对于那种非常庞大的数据库，备份起来就不像只支持全量和归档的模式那么吃力了。
PostgreSQL增量备份是怎么做到的呢？
一个数据页的框架如下
* +----------------+---------------------------------+
* | PageHeaderData | linp1 linp2 linp3 ... |
* +-----------+----+---------------------------------+
* | ... linpN | |
* +-----------+--------------------------------------+
* | ^ pd_lower |
* | |
* | v pd_upper |
* +-------------+------------------------------------+
* | | tupleN ... |
* +-------------+------------------+-----------------+
* | ... tuple3 tuple2 tuple1 | "special space" |
* +--------------------------------+-----------------+
数据页头部的数据结构
typedef struct PageHeaderData
{
/* XXX LSN is member of *any* block, not only page-organized ones */
PageXLogRecPtr pd_lsn; /* LSN: next byte after last byte of xlog
* record for last change to this page */
uint16 pd_checksum; /* checksum */
uint16 pd_flags; /* flag bits, see below */
LocationIndex pd_lower; /* offset to start of free space */
LocationIndex pd_upper; /* offset to end of free space */
LocationIndex pd_special; /* offset to start of special space */
uint16 pd_pagesize_version;
TransactionId pd_prune_xid; /* oldest prunable XID, or zero if none */
ItemIdData pd_linp[FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER]; /* line pointer array */
} PageHeaderData;
因为如果对象是持久化的，那么它的所有变更都会记录REDO，数据页头部的pd_lsn表示该数据页最后一次变化时，变化产生的REDO在xlog file中的结束位置.
即如果xlog flush的xlog地址位 大于或等于 此页pd_lsn，那么这个页的更改就可以认为是可靠的。
* pd_lsn - identifies xlog record for last change to this page.
* pd_checksum - page checksum, if set.
* pd_flags - flag bits.
* pd_lower - offset to start of free space.
* pd_upper - offset to end of free space.
* pd_special - offset to start of special space.
* pd_pagesize_version - size in bytes and page layout version number.
* pd_prune_xid - oldest XID among potentially prunable tuples on page.
好了，既然每次块的变化都包含了LSN的修改，那么也即是说，我们可以通过第一次备份开始时的全局LSN，以及当前需要备份的数据的page LSN来判断此页是否发生过修改。
如果修改了就备份，没修改，就不需要备份， 从而实现数据库的块级增量备份。
pg_rman 介绍
pg_rman是一个开源的PostgreSQL备份管理软件，类似Oracle的RMAN。
https://github.com/ossc-db/pg_rman
http://ossc-db.github.io/pg_rman/index.html
pg_rman使用的是pg_start_backup(), copy, pg_stop_backup()的备份模式。
pg_rman跑的不是流复制协议，而是文件拷贝，所以pg_rman必须和数据库节点跑在一起。
如果在standby节点跑pg_rman，pg_rman则需要通过网络连接到主节点执行pg_start_backup和pg_stop_backup。
pg_rman的用法非常简单，支持以下几种运行模式。
init
Initialize a backup catalog.
backup
Take an online backup.
restore
Do restore.
show
Show backup history. The detail option shows with additional information of each backups.
validate
Validate backup files. Backups without validation cannot be used for restore and incremental backup.
delete
Delete backup files.
purge
Remove deleted backups from backup catalog.
使用pg_rman的前提
开启归档
配置csvlog
建议的配置
postgres=# show log_destination ;
log_destination
-----------------
csvlog
(1 row)
postgres=# SHOW log_directory ;
log_directory
---------------
pg_log
(1 row)
postgres=# SHOW archive_command ;
archive_command
--------------------------------------------
cp %p /data04/digoal/arc_log/%f
(1 row)
初始化pg_rman backup catalog
首先需要初始化一个backup catalog，实际上就是需要一个目录，这个目录将用于存放备份的文件。
同时这个目录也会存放一些元数据，例如备份的配置文件，数据库的systemid，时间线文件历史等等。
初始化命令需要两个参数，分别为备份目标目录，以及数据库的$PGDATA
$ mkdir /data05/digoal/pgbbk
$ /home/digoal/pgsql9.5/bin/pg_rman init -B /data05/digoal/pgbbk -D /data04/digoal/pg_root
INFO: ARCLOG_PATH is set to '/data04/digoal/arc_log'
INFO: SRVLOG_PATH is set to '/data04/digoal/pg_root/pg_log'
生成备份元数据如下
[digoal@iZ28tqoemgtZ ~]$ cd /data05/digoal/pgbbk/
[digoal@iZ28tqoemgtZ pgbbk]$ ll
total 16
drwx------ 4 digoal digoal 4096 Aug 26 19:29 backup
-rw-rw-r-- 1 digoal digoal 82 Aug 26 19:29 pg_rman.ini
-rw-rw-r-- 1 digoal digoal 40 Aug 26 19:29 system_identifier
drwx------ 2 digoal digoal 4096 Aug 26 19:29 timeline_history
生成的配置文件
$ cat pg_rman.ini
ARCLOG_PATH='/data04/digoal/arc_log'
SRVLOG_PATH='/data04/digoal/pg_root/pg_log'
你可以把将来要使用的配置写在这个配置文件中，或者写在pg_rman的命令行中。
我后面的测试会直接使用命令行参数。
生成的数据库system id，用于区分备份的数据库是不是一个数据库，防止被冲。
$ cat system_identifier
SYSTEM_IDENTIFIER='6318621837015461309'
与控制文件中存储的system id一致。
注意
pg_rman只从postgresql.conf取log_directory和archive_command参数的值。
如果你的PostgreSQL的配置文件是include的或者配置在postgresql.auto.conf中。
这两个值将不准确。
所以建议你仅仅把参数配置在postgresql.conf中，而不要使用其他配置文件。

校验备份集
备份时pg_rman会记录每个备份文件的crc，以便validate进行校验。
例如某个备份集
$ less /data05/digoal/pgbbk/20160826/195809/file_database.txt
.s.PGSQL.1921 ? 0 0 0777 2016-08-26 19:27:05

解释
路径，文件类型，大小，CRC校验值，权限，时间
第四列即crc校验值
每次备份完，必须要做一次校验，否则备份集不可用用来恢复，增量备份时也不会用它来做增量比较。
$ /home/digoal/pgsql9.5/bin/pg_rman validate -B /data05/digoal/pgbbk
INFO: validate: "2016-08-26 19:39:50" backup, archive log files and server log files by CRC
INFO: backup "2016-08-26 19:39:50" is valid
每个备份集都包含了一个备份状态文件，如下
cat /data05/digoal/pgbbk/20160826/201955/backup.ini
# configuration
BACKUP_MODE=INCREMENTAL
FULL_BACKUP_ON_ERROR=false

这个文件中包含了很重要的信息，比如LSN，后面LSN将用于比对增量备份时对比数据块的LSN是否发生了变化，是否需要备份。

1. 增量备份代码
上次备份以来，数据块的LSN是否发生了变化，如果自从上次备份的start_lsn以来没有发生变化，则不备份。
代码举例

DATABASE_FILE_LIST);
prev_files = dir_read_file_list(pgdata, prev_file_txt);

*/
lsn = &prev_backup->start_lsn;
xlogid = (uint32) (*lsn >> 32);
xrecoff = (uint32) *lsn;
elog(DEBUG, _("backup only the page updated after LSN(%X/%08X)"),
xlogid, xrecoff);

validate 时，改backup.ini的STATUS字段
validate.c
for (i = 0; i < parray_num(backup_list); i++)
{
pgBackup *backup = (pgBackup *)parray_get(backup_list, i);
/* clean extra backups (switch STATUS to ERROR) */
if(!another_pg_rman &&
(backup->status == BACKUP_STATUS_RUNNING ||
backup->status == BACKUP_STATUS_DELETING))
{
backup->status = BACKUP_STATUS_ERROR;
pgBackupWriteIni(backup);
}
/* Validate completed backups only. */
if (backup->status != BACKUP_STATUS_DONE)
continue;
/* validate with CRC value and update status to OK */
pgBackupValidate(backup, false, false, (HAVE_DATABASE(backup)));
}
...
/* update status to OK */
if (corrupted)
backup->status = BACKUP_STATUS_CORRUPT;
else
backup->status = BACKUP_STATUS_OK;
pgBackupWriteIni(backup);
注意
1.
备份参数 -C 表示无缝checkpoint, 所以可能很慢，视checkpoint_completion_target和segment_size的配置。
如果你发现pg_rman开始很慢，可以把-C去掉，速度就快了，但是可能在高峰时，造成冲击。
建议高峰是不要备份。
2.
BUG
unix socket 是$PGDATA时, validate会报错
pg_rman validate
INFO: validate: "2016-08-26 16:19:25" backup, archive log files and server log files by CRC
ERROR: invalid type '?' found in "/data05/digoal/pgbak/20160826/161925/file_database.txt"
vi /data05/digoal/pgbak/20160826/161925/file_database.txt
.s.PGSQL.1921 ? 0 0 0777 2016-08-26 15:35:05
修改一下dir.c的代码即可修复这个问题，修改如下
if (strncmp(path, ".s.PGSQL", 7) != 0 && type != 'f' && type != 'F' && type != 'd' && type != 'l')
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERROR_CORRUPTED),
errmsg("invalid type '%c' found in \"%s\"", type, file_txt)));
