Description

When a yum repo is published, and sqlite generation is enabled (generate_sqlite=true), and incremental publish is activated (i.e. force_full is not true and units were not deleted since last publish), new sqlite files will be created and old sqlite files will be retained.

Since the old sqlite files are never cleaned, this means that the published repodata of a repo will keep all old sqlite files since the last non-incremental publish, which wastes space and makes publishes slower.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Create repo, ensure it has a yum_distributor with generate_sqlite: true
  • Add RPM to repo
  • Publish repo
  • Note count of *-primary.sqlite.bz2 files in published repo
  • Add RPM to repo
  • Publish repo
  • Note count of *-primary.sqlite.bz2 files in published repo

Actual result:

  • After first publish, 1 primary sqlite file exists
  • After second publish, 2 primary sqlite files exist

Expected result:

  • After first publish, 1 primary sqlite file exists
  • After second publish:
    • If https://pulp.plan.io/issues/1684 is implemented, sqlite files should be subject to the configured retention options. Thus it depends on the age of the existing sqlite file.
    • Otherwise, to be consistent with XML handling, the old sqlite files should probably be deleted, so only 1 primary sqlite file exists.

The publishes that will get slower, were meant to be done with rsync distributor.

i had a chat with jluza, we believe that If we fix this issue https://pulp.plan.io/issues/2783, the current one will not have slowdown in the rsync publish, because the file would have preserved the mitime and would not get rsynced

Both yum and rsync publishes will become slower due to this (though rsync is worse affected).

For example, we had a repo with a repodata directory containing about 28GB worth of sqlite files and that's enough to noticeably slow down the "copy files" step in yum publishes.

@jeremy did you configure and notice the new options for the distributor? https://github.com/pulp/pulp_rpm/pull/1056/files#diff-7cb9179c56cd2d7232d3e801a56ffceaR631
You did not mention any of those in your testing.

No, I didn't use any of those new options. I ran the script listed in my previous comment. I'll re-test.

Actions #18

Updated by Ichimonji10 over 6 years ago

I performed testing in the way that I did because of what the issue states:

Expected result:

After first publish, 1 primary sqlite file exists. After second publish:

  • If https://pulp.plan.io/issues/1684 is implemented, sqlite files should be subject to the configured retention options. Thus it depends on the age of the existing sqlite file.
  • Otherwise, to be consistent with XML handling, the old sqlite files should probably be deleted, so only 1 primary sqlite file exists.

Is it fair to say that Pulp 2.15 doesn't act according to this description? If so, that's OK. I just want to have that explicit confirmation.

Fail, again. When one attempts to configure a distributor with the remove_old_repodata or remove_old_repodata_threshold options, an error is returned. Peeking in the logs shows errors like:

Have a look at Pulp Smash 826, and let me know if something is wrong with the test case.
