ACE repair: apply each difference as a separate, checked row operation - #208
Today, table-repair writes both the rows that are missing on the target and the changed rows with INSERT ... ON CONFLICT (pk) DO UPDATE, and --insert-only and --bidirectional use ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING. So repair doesn't know whether it inserted or updated a row. A row that appears on the target after the diff is overwritten without a message; a row that was deleted after the diff is inserted again; and a DELETE of a row that is already gone is not reported. All changes for one node run in one transaction, so one error rolls back all rows for that node, and the task status is still COMPLETED because the error does not reach Run. --fix-nulls has the same problems: it doesn't check the number of changed rows, it overwrites a value that appeared after the diff, and with --preserve-origin a failure leaves part of the updates committed.
A second problem is in table-diff. A key that the server holds as equal but prints in a different way (-0 and 0 in a float8 key, 'Alice' and 'alice' in citext) finds the same row through both key texts. The diff report then shows the pair as a changed row twice, and repair with --upsert-only keeps the target key, so the next diff reports the row again.
What changes
keydiff: one key text finds only the row that prints it
The row read by key does not select tableoid and ctid any more, and Compare does not keep a set of the rows it has already returned. This set had no size limit and hid such keys from the report.
The lookup now also requires format('%s', key) COLLATE "C" = key_text. format() gives the output of the type, which is what the key query returns; a ::text cast is not used because it differs from the output for some types (bpchar, boolean). For numeric, the key goes through trim_scale(), as in the key query, so 1.50 and 1.5 stay one row.
A pair such as -0 / 0 is now reported as a row on one node only and a row on the other node only.
table-repair: three kinds of checked row operations
For each target node, repair builds three sets: INSERT for a row of the source that the target does not have, UPDATE of all columns outside the key for a row that both nodes have, and DELETE for a row of the target only. The actions in a repair plan are split the same way, based on whether the row is present on the node the action writes to.
--insert-only drops the updates. Without a plan, --insert-only and --upsert-only drop the deletes, as before.
--fix-nulls gives one row operation for each row with NULL columns: UPDATE t SET c1 = $2, ... WHERE pk = $1 AND c1 IS NULL AND .... It sets only the columns that are still NULL.
Each row operation is a single-row statement and must change exactly one row. Repair never turns an insert into an update or the other way round.
Commands
Repair sends the row operations of one kind to a node in commands of up to 1000 rows. A command is one transaction, and its statements go to the server in one pgx batch, so a command costs one round trip.
If a statement fails or does not change exactly one row, the command is rolled back. The row that failed is recorded with its error, and the other rows of the command are recorded as rolled back with it. Repair then goes on with the next command and the next node.
On each node, repair runs the deletes first, then the updates, then the inserts, as before. A delete or an update can free a value of a unique key that a later row operation needs. For a pair such as -0 / 0, the delete of the target key goes first, and the insert of the source key then works. With --fire-triggers, this delete also runs the foreign-key actions of child tables, such as ON DELETE CASCADE.
With --preserve-origin, each command holds rows of one origin group, and its transaction gets the origin of these rows. The stale check of a repair plan runs inside the transaction of each command.
The client role is set with SET LOCAL ROLE, so it ends with each command transaction. One connection now runs many command transactions; with a session-level role, the second command set session_replication_role as the client role and failed for a role without superuser rights.
One row operation for each key and node
With a repair plan and more than two nodes, two node pairs can give a row operation for the same key on the same node. The diffs of the pairs are taken at different times, so one pair can see the row on the node and the other pair not. Two equal row operations are kept as one. If they differ (an insert and an update, a write and a delete, or two different rows), the key gets no row operation on this node and is recorded as a failed row with the operation conflict, command number 0, and a reason that names both node pairs. The dry run shows these keys under conflicts.
bidirectional in a repair plan
On a row that both nodes had, the bidirectional action of a plan gave each node the row of the other node. Both updates succeeded, so the rows changed places and still differed. Now the action inserts a row that only one node has on the other node, as --bidirectional does. A plan rule with diff_type: [row_mismatch] and bidirectional is refused when the plan is read, and a mismatched row that comes to bidirectional through another rule or a default action stops the repair with an error. The example in advanced-repair-examples.md that used bidirectional on mismatched rows now copies the missing rows.
Setup errors
An error that does not come from a row stops repair at once and is returned as the error of the task: no node info, connection pool, connection or column types for a node, or a failure in the setup or the end of a command (BEGIN, the client role, spock repair mode, session_replication_role, the replication origin, the stale check), or a connection that breaks while a command runs. Such an error depends on the cluster settings, not on the rows, so the rows that were not tried are not listed as failed rows. The commands that were committed before it stay committed.
Only an error that the server returns (a PgError, or a COMMIT that ends as ROLLBACK) makes a row fail; the server has then rolled the transaction back. If the connection breaks while repair waits for the answer to COMMIT, the server may or may not have committed the command. Repair stops, and the rows of this command go to TableRepairTask.InDoubtOps and to in_doubt_rows of the report, not to the failed rows. table-diff shows their state.
Result
The failed row operations are in TableRepairTask.FailedOps and in failed_rows of the repair report. Each record includes the node, key, operation, reason, and command number. Only row-level failures go there: a statement error from the server, a statement that does not change exactly one row, a value that cannot be converted, an error at the end of the batch, and a commit that the server rejected.
The log names the keys of a failed command (at most 20), without the other values of the rows. It no longer prints the SQL text and the values of a batch.
If any row operation failed, the task status is FAILED and table-repair returns an error after all commands have run. A setup error ends the task as FAILED at once.
Incompatible changes
The repair report lists inserted_rows, updated_rows, deleted_rows and failed_rows for each node instead of upserted_rows.
The dry run lists would_insert and would_update instead of would_upsert, and its text changes. With a repair plan, the dry run report can list conflicts for a node.
The log of skipped stale rows of a repair plan names the operation insert or update instead of upsert.
A repair with failed rows ends with the status FAILED and an error. Before, it ended with COMPLETED.
A row that appeared on the target after the diff, or a row that is gone from it, is now a failed row: the insert fails with a unique violation, and the update or the delete changes no row. Before, the row was overwritten or inserted again without a message. Run table-diff again before table-repair, or after a failed repair.
A repair plan refuses bidirectional on row_mismatch. To make two different rows equal, choose the winner with keep_n1, keep_n2, apply_from or custom.
Out of scope
A row whose values changed on the target after the diff, under the same key, is still overwritten by the update. Checking the row hash of the diff before each row operation, and reading the new values from the source at repair time: table-repair: check the row hash of the diff before each row operation #210.
One failed row rolls back all rows of its command (up to 1000). Repair does not run the other rows again; they stay different until the next table-diff and table-repair.
spock.repair_mode(false) at the end of each command runs as the client role, so this role needs USAGE on schema spock. This was the same before this change.
With --fix-nulls and more than two nodes, when two node pairs give different values for a column that is NULL on one node, the node gets the value of one of them, in no defined order. This was the same before this change.
readRows selected the table OID and the ctid of each row, and Compare
kept a set of all rows it had already returned. A row that two key texts
found (for example -0 and 0 in a float8 key) was returned only for the
first of them. This set had no size limit, and it hid such keys from the
diff report.
Now the row read does not select the row location, and each key text
gets all the rows that it finds.
Add an integration test for a float8 key that is -0 on n1 and 0 on n2,
with v = 'a' on n1 and 'x' on n2. The test records what ACE does now:
- table-diff reports the pair of rows twice: two rows on each node, and
a diff count of 2 for one real row.
- table-repair matches the rows of the report by key text. The key of
the target is not in the source rows, so repair deletes it; the delete
by key 0 removes the row, as -0 = 0. The key of the source is not in
the target rows, so repair upserts the source row, and this is now a
plain insert with the key of the source. The log says "1 upserted,
1 deleted" for one changed row. After this the nodes are equal, with
either node as the source of truth. This works only because the
deletes run before the upserts.
- with --upsert-only there is no delete. The upsert finds the target row
through the conflict on the key, sets v = 'a' and keeps the key 0 of
the target. The next table-diff reports the row again, twice.
The row read by key (ReadQuery) cast each key text back to the type of
the column and looked it up with the equality operator of the type. Two
key texts that the server holds as equal but prints in a different way
(-0 and 0 in a float8 key, 'Alice' and 'alice' in citext) found the same
row, and the diff report had the pair as a changed row, once for each
key text.
Now the lookup also requires that format('%s', key) is byte-equal to the
key text, under the "C" collation. format() gives the output of the
type, which is what the key query returns; a ::text cast is not used
because it differs from the output for some types (bpchar drops the
trailing spaces, boolean gives 'true'). For numeric the key goes through
trim_scale(), as in the key query, so 1.50 and 1.5 stay one row.
Such a key is now reported as a row on one node only and a row on the
other node only. In the float8 test (-0 on n1, 0 on n2) the report has
one row on each node, and the diff count is 2. table-repair with either
node as the source of truth deletes the key of the target and inserts
the key of the source, so the nodes are equal after it. With
--upsert-only the upsert still keeps the key of the target, and the next
diff reports the pair again.
Key comparison now matches formatted key text as well as typed values. Table repair separates inserts, updates, and deletes into checked operations, applies them in transactional batches, and records failed rows, uncertain commits, and task status.
Changes: Key Diff and Checked Repair
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Match rows by key text internal/consistency/keydiff/*, tests/integration/float_zero_key_test.go, tests/integration/keydiff_test.go
Row-read queries match typed keys and formatted key text. Comparison no longer deduplicates rows by tuple location. Tests cover differently printed keys, including -0 and 0.
Repair-set calculation classifies changes as inserts, updates, and deletes. SQL generation includes NULL-only updates. Conflicting operations are recorded.
Commands run in transactions and roll back when an operation fails or does not affect exactly one row. Repair records failed and in-doubt rows and reports operation counts and task status. Tests cover rollback, repair modes, client-role use, and NULL fixes.

Explanation
The title "ACE repair: apply each difference as a separate, checked row operation" matches the main change. The changeset replaces batched upserts and deletes in table-repair with single-row INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations that are checked for exactly one affected row, grouped into transactional commands. The title is concise, specific, and free of file lists or vague terms.

Explanation
Issue #207 is the only active directly linked issue. It has no acceptance criteria and describes problems, not a solution. The whole-PR change set (merge base 58ca3d9 to head 5c9c7c2) covers its five problems. (1) Inserts and updates shared one statement: calculatePlanRepairSets and calculateRepairSets split work into insert, update, and delete sets; commands.go rowStatement builds one single-row statement per operation; runCommand requires each row to change exactly one row. (2) Equal keys printed differently: keydiff/query.go adds the format('%s', key) COLLATE "C" = key_text condition; keydiff.go removes the seen-row set and tableoid/ctid identity, so -0 and 0 are reported as one row per node. Tests TestKeyDiffEqualKeysPrintedDifferently and TestFloatZeroKeyDiffAndRepair cover this. UPDATE covers all non-key columns. (3) One failed statement rolled back all node changes: work now runs in commands of at most 1000 rows, each in its own transaction. In applyRows, a row failure is recorded by runCommand and returns a nil error, so the next command runs; only setup or end-of-command errors return an error and stop the loop. TestTableRepairCheckedOps covers this. (4) Failed rows were not visible: TableRepairTask.FailedOps and failed_rows record node, key, operation, reason, and command number; logFailedCommand logs at most 20 keys and no SQL text or row values. (5) --preserve-origin: rows are grouped by origin, each command sets its transaction origin, and the stale check runs inside each command transaction; the report counts applied rows. --fix-nulls uses the same checked path with IS NULL predicates (TestTableRepairFixNullsChecked). Open point: the earlier summary said a failed command stops later commands. The code paths read at head show a nil error for row failures, so repair continues, matching the PR description. The rest of runCommand after the batch send was truncated and not read.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Each changed area connects to #207 or supports its implementation. keydiff (compare.go, keydiff.go, query.go, tests): removes tableoid/ctid identity and the seen-row set, and adds formatted-key matching (#207 item 2). repair (commands.go, executor.go, table_repair.go, html_plan_e2e_test.go, unit tests): splits operations by kind, runs checked commands, records failures, sets task status (#207 items 1, 3, 4, 5). SET LOCAL ROLE: each command is its own transaction, so the client role must end with it; TestTableRepairClientRole covers it. Conflict recording (repairSets.add, head 5c9c7c2): records conflicting plan operations as failed rows with operation conflict; TestRepairSetsOneOperationPerKey covers it. --fix-nulls: uses the same checked single-row path, which is the unchecked-write problem in #207. --insert-only, --upsert-only, and stale-plan log name changes follow from the operation split and are listed as incompatible changes. Documentation (CHANGELOG.md, docs/commands/repair/*, docs/http-api.md) documents the new behavior. Test updates adjust expectations or cover the new behavior. No change found is unrelated to #207. The out-of-scope items named in the PR (#209, #210, #211) are not implemented here and are not required.

Use SET LOCAL ROLE so the client role ends with each command transaction.
setRole uses SET ROLE, which lasts for the whole session. A pooled connection keeps the role after COMMIT. applyRows runs every command for a node on one connection, so the next command's SET session_replication_role runs as the client role. If that role lacks the privilege, the command fails in setupTransactionMode. The repair then records each row in that command as failed. The failure depends on the client role's privileges, and the repository does not define them.
SET LOCAL ROLE applies the role only inside the current transaction. The connection runs the next command's session-level setup under the login role.

Default source-of-truth repairs overwrite target rows that changed after the diff.
On the default path, filterStaleRepairs returns before any check, because no repair plan exists. The UPDATE WHERE clause matches only the key, so a target row whose non-key values changed after table-diff still matches. runCommand accepts the single affected row, and the source values replace the concurrent change without an error. The PR states that such a row should fail instead of being overwritten.
The DELETE statement has the same key-only predicate. A target-only row with changed non-key values can be deleted without an error by the same path. The stated rule covers "a row changed on the target," but the explicit wording addresses overwrites, so this consequence is weaker than the UPDATE case.
A correction must carry the diff-time target values into the operation. The current sets.write call passes only the source row, so the UPDATE needs the target row as well. Each non-key predicate must handle NULL with a NULL-safe comparison. Equality on a json column is not defined in PostgreSQL, so predicates on such columns need a separate rule before this correction can be applied.

Review comment at @internal/consistency/repair/commands.go at line 244:
The default repair path can overwrite or delete target rows changed since the diff; update `sets.write` and the UPDATE/DELETE predicates so they verify the diff-time target values, using NULL-safe comparisons for non-key columns.

Record failed rows for every node before the repair loop returns.
When a node fails connection or column-type setup, runUnidirectionalRepair returns before reportNodeChanges runs for that node. The nodes after it are never reached. Their conflicts stay in t.FailedOps but do not appear under failed_rows in the report. The documentation names the report as the full list of failed rows, so this omission contradicts that contract.
Call reportNodeChanges for every node after recordConflicts. reportNodeChanges adds only failed_rows and rule_matches when called with empty row slices. Each later call in the loop then replaces failed_rows with the complete list.

t.recordConflicts(sets)

table_repair.go, setRole (first review): fixed in 168115d.setRole uses SET LOCAL ROLE with the same identifier quoting, so the role ends with each command transaction. One connection runs many command transactions; with a session-level role, the second command set session_replication_role as the client role and failed for a role without superuser rights. TestTableRepairClientRole covers it: an insert command and an update command on one connection, as a role without superuser rights.
runUnidirectionalRepair, conflicts in the report when repair stops early (last review): fixed in eff3977.recordConflicts now also adds the conflicts of each node to the repair report. They are known before any command runs, so a setup error on an earlier node no longer leaves them out of the report. A later call of reportNodeChanges for the node replaces failed_rows with the full list. TestRepairSetsOneOperationPerKey checks the report entry.
commands.go, rows changed on the target since the diff (last review): tracked in #210. Instead of comparing column values in the UPDATE and DELETE predicates, repair will check, before each row operation, that the row hash of the target row is still the hash that the diff saw. The row hash is computed from the output text of each column, so it needs no comparison rule for json or other types without an equality operator, and it also catches a key that now prints in another way. This PR keeps the key-only predicates.

Before, runUnidirectionalRepair wrote both the rows missing on the
target and the changed rows with INSERT ... ON CONFLICT (pk) DO UPDATE
(executeUpsertBatch), and --insert-only and --bidirectional used ON
CONFLICT DO NOTHING. Repair did not know if a row was inserted or
updated, a row that appeared on the target after the diff was
overwritten without a message, a row that was deleted after the diff was
inserted again, and a DELETE of a row that was already gone was not
reported. All changes of one node ran in one transaction, so one error
rolled back all rows of the node. The task status was then still
COMPLETED, because the error did not reach Run.
Now the repair sets have three kinds of row operations for each node:
INSERT for a row of the source that the target does not have, UPDATE (of
all columns outside the key) for a row that both nodes have, and DELETE
for a row of the target only. The same split applies to the actions of a
repair plan, by the presence of the row on the node that the action
writes to. --insert-only drops the updates; without a plan,
--insert-only and --upsert-only drop the deletes, as before.
Each row operation is a single-row statement that must change exactly
one row. The statements go to the node in commands of up to 1000 rows of
one kind; a command is one transaction, and its statements are sent in
one pgx batch. If a statement fails or changes no row, the command is
rolled back: the row that failed is recorded with the error, and the
other rows of the command are recorded as rolled back with it. Repair
then goes on with the next command. With --preserve-origin each command
holds rows of one origin and sets up the origin of its transaction.
setRole now uses SET LOCAL ROLE. One connection runs many command
transactions, and a session-level SET ROLE stayed after the first
commit: the next command then set session_replication_role, a
superuser-only setting, and the replication origin as the client role,
and failed for a client role without superuser rights.
On each node the inserts run first, then the updates, then the deletes.
Before, the deletes ran first. A repair that stops in the middle now
leaves extra rows on the node, not missing ones. The price is a key that
the server holds as equal to the key of a deleted row (-0 and 0): its
insert fails with a unique violation, the delete removes the old row,
and a second diff and repair insert the key. Running the deletes first
makes this case work in one run, but it removes rows before their
replacements are written.
At the end, the failed row operations are in TableRepairTask.FailedOps
and in failed_rows of the repair report, the log names their keys
without the row values, the task status is FAILED, and Run returns an
error. An error that does not come from a row (no connection or column
types for a node, or a failure in the setup or the end of a command:
BEGIN, the client role, spock repair mode, session_replication_role,
the replication origin, the stale check) stops repair at once:
applyRows returns it, the run functions pass it to finishRepair, and
the rows that were not tried are not listed as failed. Such an error is
a setting of the cluster, not a property of the rows. The commands
committed before it stay committed. --fix-nulls is not changed.
Only an error that the server returns (a PgError, or a COMMIT that ends
as ROLLBACK) makes a row fail; the server has then rolled the
transaction back. A broken connection or a cancelled context during the
statements also stops repair. If it happens while repair waits for the
answer to COMMIT, the server may have committed the command, so its rows
go to TableRepairTask.InDoubtOps and to in_doubt_rows of the report,
not to FailedOps, and repair stops.
Incompatibility: the repair report lists inserted_rows, updated_rows and
deleted_rows instead of upserted_rows; the dry run lists would_insert
and would_update instead of would_upsert, and its text changes; the log
of skipped stale rows of a repair plan names the operation insert or
update instead of upsert; a repair with failed rows ends with the status
FAILED and an error, where it ended with COMPLETED before.
Open questions: a repair that ran all its commands but could not apply
some rows ends as FAILED, the same as a repair that could not run at
all. A separate status (for example PARTIALLY_COMPLETED) with its own
CLI exit code and the number of failed rows in the HTTP API task
context would let callers tell them apart. The notes about dropping and
raising privileges in the repair transaction went away with the code
around them; that question stays open too. The size of a command (1000
rows) is a constant, as the batch size was.
Tests:
- float_zero_key_test: with a source of truth, the first repair records
the failed insert of -0 (or 0) and deletes the key of the target; a
second diff and repair make the nodes equal. With --upsert-only,
--insert-only and --bidirectional the insert fails with a unique
violation, is recorded, and the rows stay as they were. Before, the
upsert set v and kept the key of the target.
- TestRejectedByServer: which errors make a row fail.
- TestRepairStopsOnSetupError: with no node info and no pools, repair
stops with the error, and no row is a failed row operation.
- TestTableRepairClientRole: repair as a client role without superuser
rights, with an insert and an update command on one connection.
- table_repair_checked_ops_test: a row inserted, a row deleted and a row
changed on the target after the diff. The command with the stale row
fails as a whole; the commands of the other kinds are applied.
- The repairTable helper of the integration tests now runs a new
table-diff before the repair. It used the latest diff file, which some
tests had already applied; such a repair now fails on each row.
The repair documentation gets a section on how repair applies the
changes, and the preserve-origin section describes the commands.
Before, runFixNulls ran one transaction per node with one UPDATE ...
FROM (VALUES ...) per column and batch (applyFixNullsUpdates), did not
check the number of changed rows, and rolled back all changes of the
node on the first error. With --preserve-origin it committed an empty
first transaction and then ran the updates of each origin group, so a
failure left a part of them committed. An error had the SQL text and the
values of the batch.
Now each row that has NULL columns on a node is one row operation:
UPDATE t SET c1 = $2, c2 = $3 WHERE pk = $1 AND c1 IS NULL AND c2 IS NULL
It runs in the same commands as the other row operations: up to 1000
rows in one transaction, each statement must change exactly one row, and
a command with a failed row is rolled back and recorded in FailedOps,
and repair goes on. A value that appeared on the node after the diff is
no longer overwritten: the update changes no row and its command fails.
--preserve-origin uses the origin grouping of the other commands. The
task status and the error at the end are as for the other modes, and the
repair report gets failed_rows.
The statement of each kind of row operation is now built for each row,
from the row: an insert, an update and a delete have the same text for
all rows; a NULL fix sets only the columns given in the row. Values are
converted with convertValueForType, as the old fix-nulls code did, so a
time.Time for a timestamp column is sent as a timestamp.
Tests:
- TestRowStatement replaces the tests of the removed batch SQL builder.
- table_repair_checked_ops_test: a CHECK constraint that only the target
has (the key is right, the insert fails), and a NULL fix where the
target got a value after the diff. The changes after the diff are now
made in one transaction in repair mode, so that they are not
replicated to the other node before repair runs.
The repair documentation describes the NULL fix in the section on how
repair applies the changes and in the --fix-nulls section.
With more than two nodes, a repair plan can give one key on one node a
row operation from two node pairs, for example keep_n1 on n1/n2 and
keep_n3 on n2/n3. The diffs of the pairs are taken at different times,
so one pair can see the row on n2 and the other pair not.
repairSets.write then put the key into both the inserts and the updates
of n2, and runUnidirectionalRepair ran both. Two updates or two inserts
with other rows kept the row of the pair that calculatePlanRepairSets
saw last, in the order of a Go map. A write and a delete from two pairs
both ran too.
Now a key has at most one row operation on a node. Two equal row
operations (the same kind and, for an insert or an update, the same
row; two deletes of one key) are kept as one. If they differ, the key
gets no row operation on this node: repairSets keeps it as a conflict,
and runUnidirectionalRepair records it in FailedOps with the operation
"conflict", command 0 and a reason that names both node pairs. The
other rows are applied, and the task ends as FAILED. The conflicts go
into the repair report before any command runs, so a setup error on an
earlier node does not leave them out of it. Picking one of the two
operations was rejected: the node pairs do not say which of them
saw the newer state of the row.
The dry run shows the number of such keys for each node, and its report
lists them under conflicts.
A source of truth gives each target node one node pair, so this case
does not happen there.
Tests:
- TestRepairSetsOneOperationPerKey: equal updates and deletes from two
pairs give one operation; an update and an insert, two other rows, and
a delete and an insert give a conflict, which a third pair does not
change; recordConflicts puts the conflict into FailedOps.
On a row that both nodes had, the bidirectional action of a repair plan
gave each node the row of the other node, so the two rows changed places
and still differed. Now the action inserts a row that only one node has
on the other node, as --bidirectional does, and refuses a mismatched row.
A plan rule with diff_type row_mismatch and bidirectional is refused when
the plan is read. A mismatched row that comes to bidirectional through
another rule or a default action stops the repair with an error.
The example in the docs that used bidirectional on mismatched rows now
copies the missing rows.

Closes #207.
Today, table-repair writes both the rows that are missing on the target and the changed rows with
INSERT ... ON CONFLICT (pk) DO UPDATE, and--insert-onlyand--bidirectionaluseON CONFLICT DO NOTHING. So repair doesn't know whether it inserted or updated a row. A row that appears on the target after the diff is overwritten without a message; a row that was deleted after the diff is inserted again; and aDELETEof a row that is already gone is not reported. All changes for one node run in one transaction, so one error rolls back all rows for that node, and the task status is stillCOMPLETEDbecause the error does not reachRun.--fix-nullshas the same problems: it doesn't check the number of changed rows, it overwrites a value that appeared after the diff, and with--preserve-origina failure leaves part of the updates committed.A second problem is in table-diff. A key that the server holds as equal but prints in a different way (
-0and0in afloat8key,'Alice'and'alice'incitext) finds the same row through both key texts. The diff report then shows the pair as a changed row twice, and repair with--upsert-onlykeeps the target key, so the next diff reports the row again.What changes
keydiff: one key text finds only the row that prints it
tableoidandctidany more, andComparedoes not keep a set of the rows it has already returned. This set had no size limit and hid such keys from the report.format('%s', key) COLLATE "C" = key_text.format()gives the output of the type, which is what the key query returns; a::textcast is not used because it differs from the output for some types (bpchar,boolean). Fornumeric, the key goes throughtrim_scale(), as in the key query, so1.50and1.5stay one row.-0/0is now reported as a row on one node only and a row on the other node only.table-repair: three kinds of checked row operations
INSERTfor a row of the source that the target does not have,UPDATEof all columns outside the key for a row that both nodes have, andDELETEfor a row of the target only. The actions in a repair plan are split the same way, based on whether the row is present on the node the action writes to.--insert-onlydrops the updates. Without a plan,--insert-onlyand--upsert-onlydrop the deletes, as before.--fix-nullsgives one row operation for each row with NULL columns:UPDATE t SET c1 = $2, ... WHERE pk = $1 AND c1 IS NULL AND .... It sets only the columns that are still NULL.Commands
-0/0, the delete of the target key goes first, and the insert of the source key then works. With--fire-triggers, this delete also runs the foreign-key actions of child tables, such asON DELETE CASCADE.--preserve-origin, each command holds rows of one origin group, and its transaction gets the origin of these rows. The stale check of a repair plan runs inside the transaction of each command.SET LOCAL ROLE, so it ends with each command transaction. One connection now runs many command transactions; with a session-level role, the second command setsession_replication_roleas the client role and failed for a role without superuser rights.One row operation for each key and node
With a repair plan and more than two nodes, two node pairs can give a row operation for the same key on the same node. The diffs of the pairs are taken at different times, so one pair can see the row on the node and the other pair not. Two equal row operations are kept as one. If they differ (an insert and an update, a write and a delete, or two different rows), the key gets no row operation on this node and is recorded as a failed row with the operation
conflict, command number 0, and a reason that names both node pairs. The dry run shows these keys underconflicts.bidirectionalin a repair planOn a row that both nodes had, the
bidirectionalaction of a plan gave each node the row of the other node. Both updates succeeded, so the rows changed places and still differed. Now the action inserts a row that only one node has on the other node, as--bidirectionaldoes. A plan rule withdiff_type: [row_mismatch]andbidirectionalis refused when the plan is read, and a mismatched row that comes tobidirectionalthrough another rule or a default action stops the repair with an error. The example inadvanced-repair-examples.mdthat usedbidirectionalon mismatched rows now copies the missing rows.Setup errors
An error that does not come from a row stops repair at once and is returned as the error of the task: no node info, connection pool, connection or column types for a node, or a failure in the setup or the end of a command (
BEGIN, the client role, spock repair mode,session_replication_role, the replication origin, the stale check), or a connection that breaks while a command runs. Such an error depends on the cluster settings, not on the rows, so the rows that were not tried are not listed as failed rows. The commands that were committed before it stay committed.Only an error that the server returns (a
PgError, or aCOMMITthat ends asROLLBACK) makes a row fail; the server has then rolled the transaction back. If the connection breaks while repair waits for the answer toCOMMIT, the server may or may not have committed the command. Repair stops, and the rows of this command go toTableRepairTask.InDoubtOpsand toin_doubt_rowsof the report, not to the failed rows.table-diffshows their state.Result
TableRepairTask.FailedOpsand infailed_rowsof the repair report. Each record includes the node, key, operation, reason, and command number. Only row-level failures go there: a statement error from the server, a statement that does not change exactly one row, a value that cannot be converted, an error at the end of the batch, and a commit that the server rejected.FAILEDandtable-repairreturns an error after all commands have run.
