Re: [Postgres-xc-developers] Add a new node to the cluster [Feature ID 3608379]
|
From: Abbas B. <abb...@en...> - 2013-03-31 08:37:13

Hi,
Attached please find the revised patch for restore mode. This patch has to
be applied on top of the patches I sent earlier for
3608377,
3608376 &
3608375.
I have also attached some scripts and a C file useful for testing the whole
procedure. It is a database that has many objects in it.
Here are the revised instructions for adding new nodes to the cluster.
======================================
Here are the steps to add a new coordinator
1) Initdb new coordinator
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data_cord3 --nodename
coord_3
2) Make necessary changes in its postgresql.conf, in particular specify
new coordinator name and pooler port
3) Connect to any of the existing coordinators & lock the cluster for
backup, do not close this session
./psql postgres -p 5432
select pgxc_lock_for_backup();
4) Connect to any of the existing coordinators and take backup of the
database
./pg_dumpall -p 5432 -s --include-nodes --dump-nodes
--file=/home/edb/Desktop/NodeAddition/revised_patches/misc_dumps/1100_all_objects_coord.sql
5) Start the new coordinator specify --restoremode while starting the
coordinator
./postgres --restoremode -D ../data_cord3 -p 5455
6) Create the new database on the new coordinator - optional
./createdb test -p 5455
7) Restore the backup that was taken from an existing coordinator by
connecting to the new coordinator directly
./psql -d test -f
/home/edb/Desktop/NodeAddition/revised_patches/misc_dumps/1100_all_objects_coord.sql
-p 5455
8) Quit the new coordinator
9) Start the new coordinator as a by specifying --coordinator
./postgres --coordinator -D ../data_cord3 -p 5455
10) Create the new coordinator on rest of the coordinators and reload
configuration
CREATE NODE COORD_3 WITH (HOST = 'localhost', type = 'coordinator',
PORT = 5455);
SELECT pgxc_pool_reload();
11) Quit the session of step 3, this will unlock the cluster
12) The new coordinator is now ready
./psql test -p 5455
create table test_new_coord(a int, b int);
\q
./psql test -p 5432
select * from test_new_coord;
*======================================*
*======================================*
Here are the steps to add a new datanode
1) Initdb new datanode
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data3 --nodename
data_node_3
2) Make necessary changes in its postgresql.conf, in particular specify
new datanode name
3) Connect to any of the existing coordinators & lock the cluster for
backup, do not close this session
./psql postgres -p 5432
select pgxc_lock_for_backup();
4) Connect to any of the existing datanodes and take backup of the database
./pg_dumpall -p 15432 -s --include-nodes
--file=/home/edb/Desktop/NodeAddition/revised_patches/misc_dumps/1122_all_objects_dn1.sql
5) Start the new datanode specify --restoremode while starting the it
./postgres --restoremode -D ../data3 -p 35432
6) Restore the backup that was taken from an existing datanode by
connecting to the new datanode directly
./psql -d postgres -f
/home/edb/Desktop/NodeAddition/revised_patches/misc_dumps/1122_all_objects_dn1.sql
-p 35432
7) Quit the new datanode
8) Start the new datanode as a datanode by specifying --datanode
./postgres --datanode -D ../data3 -p 35432
9) Create the new datanode on all the coordinators and reload configuration
CREATE NODE DATA_NODE_3 WITH (HOST = 'localhost', type = 'datanode',
PORT = 35432);
SELECT pgxc_pool_reload();
10) Quit the session of step 3, this will unlock the cluster
11) Redistribute data by using ALTER TABLE REDISTRIBUTE
12) The new daatnode is now ready
./psql test
create table test_new_dn(a int, b int) distribute by replication;
insert into test_new_dn values(1,2);
EXECUTE DIRECT ON (data_node_1) 'SELECT * from test_new_dn';
EXECUTE DIRECT ON (data_node_2) 'SELECT * from test_new_dn';
EXECUTE DIRECT ON (data_node_3) 'SELECT * from test_new_dn';
