Replication fails for transactional tables having same name as dropped
external tables.
Summary of the change:
While setting up the tasks during the repl-load phase of the replication,
delay the access to
table metadata until the task execution. This will avoid inconsistent
metadata access during
task creation.
Root Cause Analysis:
Background:
During the incremental load phase of replication, all event logs are
processed sequentially.
Multiple tasks are spawned/created during the processing of each event.
All the spawned tasks are subsequently, executed sequantially.
Scenario of the issue:
The issue is seen in the following scenario:
1. An external table(Eg. T1) created, is replicated, to target cluster
during earlier replication cycles.
2. This external table is dropped.
3. An new managed table with the same name (T1) is recreated.
4. The subsequent repl-load phase fails.
Root cause:
1. The above mentioned operations (table drop and recreation) are propogated
to the target cluster
via event logs during the subsequent incremental phase of replication.
2. We create DDL tasks to drop the external table for drop-table event.
3. We also create new tasks to create new managed tables.
4. Some additional events are logged which create tasks to load the newly
created table.
5. During the creation of these load-table tasks, we try to access metadata
corresponding to the new table.
During normal scenario of a fresh table creation, the metadata store will
not have data correspoding to the new table (yet to be created).
However, in this scenario, the old table still exists and hence, we end
up using the metadata corrsesponding to old table(external).
We try to use this metadata to create the load tasks for the new table.
During the exeuciton of these load tasks, which execute after the drop
and recreate tasks, we find that the metadata set in the
task context is stale and is inconsistent with the newly created table.
Hence, the error.
Fix:
Do not access the table metadata during the task creation phase for
table-load.
Instead, access the metadata during the task execution. By that time,
the metadata is updated to the latest state with the previously executed
tasks.
