Hi all.
I tried searching for the response to this but couldn’t find any. Tried also
posting to general but got no love there.
I have pg_restore running in parallel (3 or more) and processing large amount
of data that is in partitioned tables. However it seems that sometime deadlock
appears when one process is trying to process primary key on parent table while
data still hasn’t been loaded into partitions. And acquires Exclusive Lock on
the whole table. Then another process comes and tries to load one of the
partitions with SharedLock but it fails.
This of course doesn’t happen always; depending on the course of actions of the
pg_restore. But often enough to cause frustration.
Process 15858 waits for AccessShareLock on relation 233358134 of database
233346697; blocked by process 15861.
Process 15861 waits for AccessExclusiveLock on relation 233374757 of database
233346697; blocked by process 15858.
Process 15858: TRUNCATE TABLE ONLY myschema."myTable:2020-09-01";
Process 15861: ALTER TABLE ONLY myschema."myTable" ADD CONSTRAINT "pk_myTable"
PRIMARY KEY ("ID", date);
Should this be treated as a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Disclamer: --load-via-partition-root was NOT used. Meaning that warning from
the pg_dump documentation should not be applicable 😊
Thanx,
Domagoj
