Compare and repair values by their server text, not by Go values - #215
Closes#213. Depends on #208 (the branch is on top of issue-207).
Today a value passes through several conversions between two nodes. table-diff reads it, the driver decodes it into a Go type, and the diff writes the Go value into the result. table-repair reads the value back and converts it into a query parameter again. Each step can change a value or fail on it: numeric NaN and ±Infinity, timestamps and dates with infinity, bytea, arrays, ranges, the types of extensions. Some types are cast to ::text on the server, but this cast is not the output of the type for boolean, inet and bpchar. A repair plan compares keys and values in Go, with rules that do not follow the type of the column: '9.5' < '10' is false as text, and a timestamp is compared as a string.
The key has the same problem. The diff finds a row by the key text that the server prints, but repair and the repair plan match rows by a key literal built on the client and send it back as a typed parameter. #210 must find a row by the key text that the diff saw and compare row hashes, so the result must hold the values in the form of the server.
What changes
Value contract
ACE reads a value as out(v), the text that the output function of its type gives, with the text result format of the protocol. It does not cast to ::text.
Two values are equal when their texts are equal byte by byte. The client only moves and compares these bytes; it never converts a value to a Go type and back.
The only requirement for a type is input(output(v)) = v under the session settings that ACE pins on every connection. There is no list of allowed types.
Keys are cast without a type modifier
A key text is cast back to the type of the column without its type modifier, and for a domain to its base type. The new queries.GetCastTypes reads these types with format_type(type, -1); with NULL instead of -1, character and bit would mean character(1) and bit(1).
Before, a key of numeric(7,2) on one node, cast to numeric(5,2) on the other node, failed with "numeric field overflow" and stopped the diff, and a cast to a shorter varchar cut the key so that it could find another row. Now such a key finds no row.
No trim_scale()
The row hash and the key text take every column as it is. 1.5 and 1.50 are different values, in a key and in any other column. A numeric key stored as 1.50 on one node and as 1.5 on the other is two rows, each on one node only, like -0 and 0 in a float8 key.
CurrentHashVersion is 5, so the next mtree update computes all leaf hashes again.
Diff result
The row read by key in keydiff asks for the columns of the table in the text format and keeps the raw bytes. A NULL is nil, which is not the same as an empty string. The service columns (key position, row hash, commit timestamp, origin) stay in the binary format. The row read still keeps only the rows whose key prints exactly as the key text, so the key columns of a stored row are the key text.
A block file stores each value of the table as a JSON string, or null. The JSON report is made from the block files with the same strings, and the HTML report shows them. The row format version is 3.
mtree table-diff uses keydiff, so it writes the same result.
table-repair
Input.--diff-file takes the result directory, or the JSON report next to it. Repair reads the entries from the block files. The kind of each entry (a row on both nodes, or on one node only) comes from the entry, so repair no longer matches the rows of two nodes by a key string built on the client. A pair with more than one entry for one key is refused: repair cannot tell such rows apart. The key of the diff must be the key of the table.
Values. Every value is sent as text and cast to the type of the column without the type modifier: $n::text::type. The column applies its modifier as for any assigned value, so a text that is too long for varchar(n) is an error, not a cut text. This includes the values of --fix-nulls, which now fills a NULL with the text of the other node and keeps an empty string as an empty string.
Keys. A key is found by the same rule as in the diff: k = $1::text::type AND format('%s', k) COLLATE "C" = $1. The stale check of a repair plan finds the rows by key text in the same way.
Old results. Repair refuses a result with an older row format version and asks the user to run the diff again.
Repair plan
The plan reader keeps the text of each YAML scalar: 1.50, 007 and true are not converted. null, ~ or an empty value is NULL; a quoted "null" is the text null.
pk_in.equals and row_overrides match the key text byte by byte. A plan written by hand must give the key as the server prints it: 1.50 does not match the key 1.5, and a boolean key is t, not true.
A pk_in range, the comparisons of when (=, !=, <, <=, >, >=, IN) and pick_freshest are computed on the server with the type of the column, for example SELECT $1::text::timestamptz < $2::text::timestamptz. All comparisons that the rules of a node pair can need are sent in a few queries, to the first node of the pair that repair could connect to. IS NULL and a comparison with NULL are decided on the client. A comparison of two literals is refused: it has no column type.
The values of custom_row are text and go to the target as $n::text::type.
The HTML plan builder writes the key text into pk_in and row_overrides. It still turns a run of whole-number keys into a range, but only for a key column of an integer type: a range of text keys would also hold "10" between "1" and "2".
table-rerun
table-rerun reads the keys from the result directory, reads the rows of these keys again on both nodes of each pair with the row read of keydiff, compares them by row hash, and writes a new result directory with the JSON report next to it. The rows are read with the effective filter from the manifest of the diff (--table-filter, --against-origin, --until), so the rerun sees the same rows as the diff; before, it read them without the filter, and a row outside the filter on one node turned into a changed row. mtree table-diff now writes its --until filter into the summary, so a rerun of its result uses it too. It refuses a result with an older row format version.
Removed code
ConvertToPgxType, ScanRow, ScanRows, NormalizeScannedValue, CompareRowSets, CompareNumeric, and the fetch expressions that cast some types to ::text (FetchColExpr, SelectColExpr, NeedsTextCast, IsKnownScalarType) are not used any more and are removed. The module no longer needs github.com/jackc/pgtype.
Fixed on the way
With coalesce_priority: [n1, n2], a column that was not NULL on both nodes got the value of n2: a break left only the switch, not the loop. Now the first node in the list that has a value gives it.
Incompatible changes
Every value in the JSON report is a JSON string or null. Scripts that read numbers or booleans from the report must parse the strings.
1.5 and 1.50 are different values now. A table with such values can show new differences. A numeric key that differs only in its scale is repaired from a source of truth as a -0 / 0 key: the delete of the target key goes first, then the insert of the source key.
mtree computes the stored leaf hashes again after the upgrade (hash version 5).
table-repair and table-rerun refuse results of earlier versions. Run the diff again.
table-repair reads the result directory. A JSON report without its directory cannot be repaired, and a value changed by hand in the JSON report has no effect.
A repair plan must give a key as the server prints it. A when comparison of two literals is refused.
table-rerun writes a result directory named as a table-diff result, not a file <schema>_<table>_rerun-diffs-<timestamp>.json.
A result with more than one entry for a key of a node pair, as a diff of an inheritance tree can give, is refused by table-repair. Before, all but one of these rows were dropped without a message.
Extra information for automatic reviewer
Tests
TestTextValuesRoundTrip: numeric 1.50, NaN and ±Infinity; float -0, NaN, ±Infinity; timestamp and date ±infinity; timestamptz near a DST change; interval; money; bytea with \x00; char(5) with trailing spaces; boolean; inet; an array with NULL; jsonb; enum; composite; a domain over a composite; a range; an array of a composite; citext; varchar(n) and numeric(p,s). After diff and repair, the output of every row on the target is byte-equal to the output on the source, for rows that are inserted and rows that are updated. The report holds every value as text, and a NULL and an empty string stay different.
TestTextValuesAsKeys: the same kinds of values as keys, including numeric NaN and Infinity, and a composite key of text and inet.
TestTextValuesFixNulls: --fix-nulls fills a NULL with an empty string and with 1.50, as the other node prints them.
TestTextValuesRepairPlan: overrides with the key texts 1.50 and t match their rows, 1.5 and true match nothing; when with < on a numeric column and on a timestamptz column gives the result of the typed comparison.
TestKeyDiffKeyOfAnotherTypmod: a key of numeric(7,2) and of varchar(10) on n1 against numeric(5,2) and varchar(3) on n2.
TestKeyDiffNumericScale, TestNumericKeyRepair (one repair is enough), TestNumericScaleIsADifference, TestMerkleTreeNumericScale: 1.5 and 1.50 as two values, in table-diff, mtree and repair.
TestMtreeNumericKeyScale: mtree table-diff reports a key stored as 1.50 on n1 and as 1.5 on n2 as two rows, with the keys as the nodes print them. TestMtreeNumericPrimaryKeyDiff compares the reported keys as text, with their scale.
TestTableDiffRerunKeyText: rerun reads each row again by its key text.
TestTableDiffRerunInheritedKey: a key with a row in the parent and in a child of an inheritance tree gives the same two entries after a rerun and after a rerun of that result.
TestTableDiffRerunKeepsTheFilter: a row that passes the table filter on n1 only stays a row on n1 only after the rerun.
TestDiffReportFormatVersionChecked: repair and rerun refuse results of the versions 0, 1 and 2 and of a newer version.
Unit tests for the plan reader (raw scalar text, NULL), the when comparisons, the comparer, and the statements of the row operations.
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.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
Hashing and key comparison now preserve server-rendered text, including numeric scale. Diff results use a new format version, and reruns compare stored keys. Repair uses checked row operations. Repair-plan values retain their text, with typed server-side comparisons for rules.

Summary
Hash values without numeric scale normalization db/queries/*, tests/integration/block_hash_test.go, tests/integration/numeric_scale_test.go, docs/design/merkle.md
Hash expressions no longer apply trim_scale() to numeric columns. Hash version 5 distinguishes values such as 1.5 and 1.50.

Per-node modifier-free cast types support key reads. Key matching checks typed equality and exact formatted text. Table values are read in text format, while service columns use binary format.
Store versioned text results and rerun diffs pkg/types/*, pkg/common/*, internal/consistency/diff/table_rerun.go, internal/cli/cli.go, docs/commands/diff/*, docs/http-api.md, docs/CHANGELOG.md
Diff results store values as strings or null. Repair and rerun reject older formats. Reruns read stored result entries and write a new result.
Repair builds separate insert, update, and delete operations from parsed diff entries. Commands run in transactions and report failed or in-doubt rows.
Preserve plan text and compare with column types internal/consistency/repair/{compare.go,executor.go,stale_repair.go}, internal/consistency/repair/plan/*, tests/integration/text_values_test.go, docs/commands/repair/advanced-repair.md
Repair-plan scalar values retain their text. Key matching is byte-exact; ranges, predicates, and freshness checks use typed comparisons.
Severity of issue fixed: Medium
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 951ba
Most earlier concerns are fixed: rerun duplicate handling, rerun filter use, the bidirectional mismatch swap, the test cleanup, and the repair docs. Two remain. Bidirectional repair across three or more nodes can try the same insert twice, which rolls back a whole batch and marks the repair FAILED; this is acknowledged and deferred. A numeric-key test would also miss a regression that drops trailing zeros from reported keys. Resolve or explicitly accept the multi-node limitation before merging.

Explanation
The title "Compare and repair values by their server text, not by Go values" matches the main change. The diff moves values as server output text, compares them byte by byte, and removes Go-value conversions from table-diff, table-repair, repair plans, and table-rerun. The title is specific and concise, and a teammate scanning history would understand the primary change.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Directly linked issue #213 is open and active, so its coding requirements apply. The reviewed summaries show implementation for each requirement group.
Value contract [#213]: keydiff readFormats requests text format for table columns. ColExpr no longer casts to ::text. NeedsTextCast, SelectColExpr, and FetchColExpr are removed. ConvertToPgxType and NormalizeScannedValue are removed from pkg/common/utils.go. Equality is byte-based text comparison.
Keys and hashes [#213]: queries.GetCastTypes reads types with format_type(type, -1) and resolves domains to base types. ReadQuery casts key text with $1::text::type and adds a byte-exact "C" comparison. trim_scale is removed from ColExpr and RowHashExpr. CurrentHashVersion is 5.
Diff result [#213]: readRows reads table values as text and service columns as binary. NULL maps to nil. Block files and the JSON report store strings or null. DiffFormatVersion is 3. The manifest version is checked.
Repair input and values [#213]: diff_input.go reads entries from the result directory. Pairs with more than one entry for a key are refused. Row statements use $n::text::type. --fix-nulls uses the text of the other node. Old format versions are refused.
Repair plan [#213]: PlanValue keeps raw YAML scalar text. pk_in and row_overrides match key text byte by byte. Ranges, when comparisons, and pick_freshest use the typed comparer on a node. IS NULL is decided on the client. custom_row values are text. The HTML builder emits integer ranges only for integer key types.
table-rerun [#213]: rereads keys with the keydiff row read, compares row hashes, and writes a result directory. Older formats are refused.
Tests [#213]: the listed tests cover the round trip, text keys, repair-plan comparisons, numeric scale, typmod keys, rerun, and format version checks.
Unverified: the name OpenDiffResult from the issue text is not confirmed in the summaries. The behavior is taken from the diff_input.go summary. The summaries do not show test results. No non-coding requirement is in scope.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Most changes map to #213 requirements: the value contract, key casts, hash version, diff result format, repair input and values, repair plan, table-rerun, removed conversion code, and their tests and documentation.
The coalesce_priority fix is disclosed in the PR description. It changes how repair selects a value, which is value handling in repair.
The repair execution model in commands.go and table_repair.go is not named in the PR description or in #213. It includes 1,000-row commands, per-command transactions, checked row counts per statement, FailedRowOp reporting, in-doubt commit reporting, conflict recording, and SET LOCAL ROLE. It applies the rows that #213 now produces, and the repair documentation covers it. It does not add a startup check, inheritance support, or a row-hash check before each operation. It is not in the #210, #214, or #209 exclusions. It is not shown to be unrelated, so it is not marked out of scope. The author should confirm that this execution model belongs to this PR and not to #210.
No change adds startup checks of table definitions or server versions, or inheritance or partitioned-table support. The #210, #214, and #209 exclusions are respected.

Do not accept deletion of the target row after the insert fails.
For -0 on the source and 0 on the target, the insert fails because the keys compare equal. Repair then deletes the target row, and this assertion requires the target to remain without it. The same sequence can affect numeric keys printed as 1.50 and 1.5. A failed repair must not remove the existing row and require a second repair to restore it. Handle the typed-equal keys as a replacement, or suppress the paired delete when the insert fails. Update this assertion to require a safe target state. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Compare text with the column's collation.
For a text column with a case-insensitive collation, a plan condition such as n1.status = 'ready' should match a stored value of Ready. This query casts two text-array values without the column's collation, so it uses the default collation and can select the wrong repair action. textComparison also omits collation from its cache key. Carry the column collation through comparison construction, grouping, and caching. (postgresql.org)

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.
The row read by key cast each key text to the type of the column on the
node, with its type modifier. A key of the other node does not always fit
this type. With numeric(7,2) on one node and numeric(5,2) on the other,
the cast of 12345.67 failed with "numeric field overflow" and stopped the
diff. A cast to a shorter varchar cut the key, so the key could find the
row of another key.
The key text is now cast to the type of the column without the modifier,
and for a domain to the base type of the domain. Then a key that does not
fit the column is compared as it is and finds no row. The new
queries.GetCastTypes reads these types for every column. It prints them
with format_type(type, -1): with NULL instead of -1, character and bit
would mean character(1) and bit(1).
The row hash and the key text wrapped a numeric column in trim_scale(),
so 1.5 and 1.50 were one value. The server prints them in a different way,
and ACE now compares the text of a value, as the output function of its
type gives it. So 1.5 and 1.50 are different values, also in a key: a key
stored as 1.50 on one node and as 1.5 on the other is two rows, each on
one node only, as -0 and 0 in a float column.
The row hash changes, so CurrentHashVersion is 5, and mtree computes the
stored leaf hashes again. The diff report keeps a numeric value with its
scale. Its format version is 2. A report of an earlier version holds the
keys without trailing zeros, which do not match the rows read now, so
table-repair and table-rerun refuse it and ask to run the diff again.
UpgradeDiffOutput, which read a version 0 report, is removed.
ColExpr, RowHashExpr, BlockHashSQL and ComputeLeafHashes no longer take
the column types: the row hash takes every column as it is.
table-repair read the JSON report: for each node pair, the list of rows
of each node. It then matched the rows of the two nodes by a key string
built on the client, and took a key on both nodes for a row on both
nodes. The diff itself had already found this: every entry of a block
file says whether its row is on both nodes or on one node only.
Repair now reads the entries from the block files of the result
directory. --diff-file takes the directory, or the JSON report next to it,
as diff-report does. Each entry keeps its kind, so a row on both nodes is
an update, a row of the source only an insert, and a row of the target
only a delete, without a new match by key. A pair with two entries of one
key is refused: repair cannot tell such rows apart. The key of the diff
must be the key of the table now. The JSON report is now only a view of
the result: a change made in it by hand has no effect.
The values of the rows are not changed yet.
A value passed through several conversions between two nodes. The diff
read it, the driver decoded it into a Go type, and the diff wrote the Go
value into the result. Repair converted it into a query parameter again.
Each step could change a value or fail on it: numeric NaN and Infinity,
timestamps and dates with infinity, bytea, arrays, ranges and the types of
extensions. A repair plan compared keys and values in Go, with rules that
did not match the types of the columns.
Now the client only moves the text that the output function of a type
gives, and compares it byte by byte:
- The row read by key in keydiff asks for the columns of the table in the
text format of the protocol and keeps the raw bytes. A NULL stays nil,
which is not the same as an empty string. The service columns keep the
binary format. The block files and the JSON report hold every value as
a JSON string or null. The row format version is 3.
- table-repair sends each value as text, $n::text::type, with the type
of the column without its type modifier: the column applies its
modifier as for any value, so a value that does not fit is an error,
not a value cut to fit. A key also finds a row only if the row prints
its key as the key text, as in the diff. The stale check of a repair
plan finds the rows by key text in the same way, and --fix-nulls sends
the text of the other node.
- A repair plan reads its keys and values as the raw text of the YAML
scalars. pk_in.equals and row_overrides match the key text byte by
byte. A pk_in range, the comparisons of when and pick_freshest are
computed on the first node of the pair with the type of the column,
all comparisons of a pair in a few queries. IS NULL is decided on the
client. A when comparison of two literals is refused. The HTML report
writes the key text into the plan, and still turns a run of integer
keys into a range; it does this only for a key of an integer type.
- table-rerun reads the keys from the result directory, reads the rows
again with the row read of keydiff and the effective filter of the
manifest, compares them by row hash, and writes a new result directory.
Before, it read the rows without the filter of the diff, so a row
outside the filter on one node turned into a changed row. mtree
table-diff now writes its --until filter into the summary.
With coalesce_priority, a break left only the switch, so the last node of
the list gave the value of a column. It now leaves the loop.
The diff, repair and rerun now keep every value as the text that the
server prints, so the code that turned a value into a Go type and back is
not used any more: ConvertToPgxType and its parsers of timestamps, times
and arrays, ScanRow, ScanRows and NormalizeScannedValue, CompareRowSets,
CompareNumeric, and the fetch expressions that cast some types to ::text
(FetchColExpr, SelectColExpr, NeedsTextCast, IsKnownScalarType). The
module no longer needs github.com/jackc/pgtype.
The test that compared the fetch expressions with the row hash goes with
them: the row read takes each column as it is, in the text format.
Outside diff, mtree_numeric_pkey_test.go:100-102. Fixed. The test now compares the reported keys as the server prints them (50.50, 7.00), without the conversion to float64.
Nitpick, mtree_numeric_pkey_test.go:63-65. Added TestMtreeNumericKeyScale: n1 stores the key as 1.50, n2 as 1.5, and mtree table-diff reports 1.50 on n1 only and 1.5 on n2 only.
float_zero_key_test.go:136 and table_repair.go:1199 (order of row operations). Both are right. Running the inserts before the deletes made a -0 / 0 key (and a numeric key such as 1.50 / 1.5) need two runs, and it failed a repair where a value of a unique column moves from one key to another. Repair now runs the deletes first, then the updates, then the inserts, as it did before ACE repair: apply each difference as a separate, checked row operation #208: a delete or an update can free a unique value that a later row operation needs. Fixed in ACE repair: apply each difference as a separate, checked row operation #208 (the branch of this PR is rebased onto it). TestFloatZeroKeyDiffAndRepair and TestNumericKeyRepair now expect one repair, and TestTableRepairUniqueValueMoves covers your example.
compare.go:203-205 (collation). Right, the typed comparisons of a plan use the default collation of the type, not the collation of the column. This is not a regression: before this PR, the plan compared the values in Go, byte by byte. Tracked in Repair plan: compare text values with the collation of the column #216.

Closes #213. Depends on #208 (the branch is on top of
issue-207).Today a value passes through several conversions between two nodes.
table-diffreads it, the driver decodes it into a Go type, and the diff writes the Go value into the result.table-repairreads the value back and converts it into a query parameter again. Each step can change a value or fail on it: numericNaNand±Infinity, timestamps and dates withinfinity,bytea, arrays, ranges, the types of extensions. Some types are cast to::texton the server, but this cast is not the output of the type forboolean,inetandbpchar. A repair plan compares keys and values in Go, with rules that do not follow the type of the column:'9.5' < '10'is false as text, and a timestamp is compared as a string.The key has the same problem. The diff finds a row by the key text that the server prints, but repair and the repair plan match rows by a key literal built on the client and send it back as a typed parameter. #210 must find a row by the key text that the diff saw and compare row hashes, so the result must hold the values in the form of the server.
What changes
Value contract
out(v), the text that the output function of its type gives, with the text result format of the protocol. It does not cast to::text.input(output(v)) = vunder the session settings that ACE pins on every connection. There is no list of allowed types.Keys are cast without a type modifier
queries.GetCastTypesreads these types withformat_type(type, -1); withNULLinstead of-1,characterandbitwould meancharacter(1)andbit(1).numeric(7,2)on one node, cast tonumeric(5,2)on the other node, failed with "numeric field overflow" and stopped the diff, and a cast to a shortervarcharcut the key so that it could find another row. Now such a key finds no row.No
trim_scale()1.5and1.50are different values, in a key and in any other column. A numeric key stored as1.50on one node and as1.5on the other is two rows, each on one node only, like-0and0in afloat8key.CurrentHashVersionis 5, so the nextmtree updatecomputes all leaf hashes again.Diff result
nil, which is not the same as an empty string. The service columns (key position, row hash, commit timestamp, origin) stay in the binary format. The row read still keeps only the rows whose key prints exactly as the key text, so the key columns of a stored row are the key text.null. The JSON report is made from the block files with the same strings, and the HTML report shows them. The row format version is 3.mtree table-diffuses keydiff, so it writes the same result.table-repair
--diff-filetakes the result directory, or the JSON report next to it. Repair reads the entries from the block files. The kind of each entry (a row on both nodes, or on one node only) comes from the entry, so repair no longer matches the rows of two nodes by a key string built on the client. A pair with more than one entry for one key is refused: repair cannot tell such rows apart. The key of the diff must be the key of the table.$n::text::type. The column applies its modifier as for any assigned value, so a text that is too long forvarchar(n)is an error, not a cut text. This includes the values of--fix-nulls, which now fills a NULL with the text of the other node and keeps an empty string as an empty string.k = $1::text::type AND format('%s', k) COLLATE "C" = $1. The stale check of a repair plan finds the rows by key text in the same way.Repair plan

A comparison of two literals is refused: it has no column type.custom_roware text and go to the target as$n::text::type.pk_inandrow_overrides. It still turns a run of whole-number keys into a range, but only for a key column of an integer type: a range of text keys would also hold"10"between"1"and"2".table-rerun
table-rerunreads the keys from the result directory, reads the rows of these keys again on both nodes of each pair with the row read of keydiff, compares them by row hash, and writes a new result directory with the JSON report next to it. The rows are read with the effective filter from the manifest of the diff (--table-filter,--against-origin,--until), so the rerun sees the same rows as the diff; before, it read them without the filter, and a row outside the filter on one node turned into a changed row.mtree table-diffnow writes its--untilfilter into the summary, so a rerun of its result uses it too. It refuses a result with an older row format version.Removed code
ConvertToPgxType,ScanRow,ScanRows,NormalizeScannedValue,CompareRowSets,CompareNumeric, and the fetch expressions that cast some types to::text(FetchColExpr,SelectColExpr,NeedsTextCast,IsKnownScalarType) are not used any more and are removed.
