Summary:
In case of non-TransactionDB and avoid_flush_during_recovery = true, RocksDB won't
flush the data from WAL to L0 for all column families if possible. As a
result, not all column families can increase their log_numbers, and
min_log_number_to_keep won't change.
For transaction DB (.allow_2pc), even with the flush, there may be old WAL files that it must not delete because they can contain data of uncommitted transactions and min_log_number_to_keep won't change.
If we persist a new MANIFEST with
advanced log_numbers for some column families, then during a second
crash after persisting the MANIFEST, RocksDB will see some column
families' log_numbers larger than the corrupted wal, and the "column family inconsistency" error will be hit, causing recovery to fail.
As a solution, RocksDB will persist the new MANIFEST after successfully syncing the new WAL.
If a future recovery starts from the new MANIFEST, then it means the new WAL is successfully synced. Due to the sentinel empty write batch at the beginning, kPointInTimeRecovery of WAL is guaranteed to go after this point.
If future recovery starts from the old MANIFEST, it means the writing the new MANIFEST failed. We won't have the "SST ahead of WAL" error.
Currently, RocksDB DB::Open() may creates and writes to two new MANIFEST files even before recovery succeeds. This PR buffers the edits in a structure and writes to a new MANIFEST after recovery is successful
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9922
Test Plan:
1. Update unit tests to fail without this change
2. make crast_test -j
Branch with unit test and no fix https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9942 to keep track of unit test (without fix)
