Managing PostgreSQL clusters with Patroni

Managing PostgreSQL clusters with Patroni

PostgreSQL has built-in support for creating hot standby nodes and keeping them up-to-date with streaming replication; alas, there is no out-of-box failover. Patroni is a small Python daemon to fill that niche, enabling anyone in a few simple steps to create high availability PostgreSQL clusters based on hot standby and streaming replication. It manages the PostgreSQL database instance and utilises an external consistency layer (based on either Etcd, Consul, Zookeeper or Kubernetes) for cluster-wide information, such as the list of members and the leader key. Patroni supports on-the-fly addition of new replicas to the existing cluster, can dynamically change the PostgreSQL configuration on all cluster nodes at once, implements both automatic failovers and controlled switchovers (both immediate and scheduled ones). It provides a lot of useful features, such as support for synchronous replication, custom actions fired during the leader switch, reporting and managing of the state of the instance via the REST API, running user-supplied scripts for replica imaging and custom bootstrap of the first node in the cluster, Kubernetes-native mode and much more. We'll go through the architecture of Patroni, provide in-detailed instructions how to configure HA PostgreSQL clusters based on it and describe many additional features. Participants will get hands-on experience in setting up HA PostgreSQL, diagnosing and troubleshooting most common issues happening during that process.

Patroni source code is available on GitHub https://github.com/zalando/patroni

This is the presentation from the Patroni tutorial as given by Alexander Kukushkin and Oleksii Kliukin on April 16th, 2018 on PostgreSQL Conference US. You can follow up with examples on your own laptop by using the Docker image or Vagrant box (get the Docker image with 'docker pull kliukin/patroni-training' or look at the slide 23 and 24 for more information.) If you are interested in building the docker image by yourself or using the Vagrant box you may find the source code is on Github at https://github.com/alexeyklyukin/patroni-training)

  1. 2 Architecture overview Client connections Hands on: your first test

    cluster Dynamic cluster configuration REST endpoints and monitoring Agenda Advanced features Custom extensions Troubleshooting
  2. 3 PostgreSQL High Availability • Shared storage solutions ◦ DRDB

    + LVM • Trigger-based and logical replication ◦ pglogical, bucardo, slony, londiste, built-in logical replication in PostgreSQL 10 • Built-in physical single master replication ◦ Starting from PostgreSQL 9.0 • Multi-master replication ◦ BDR, bucardo
  3. 4 Physical single-master replication Cons • No partial replication •

    Major versions much match • Missing automatic failover Pros • Built-in since Postgres 9.0 • Minimal overhead • Replicates everything • Cascading replication • Synchronous replication • Takes advantage of streaming and WAL shipping wal Standby wal Primary Cascade wal Standby wal
  4. 5 Automatic failover done wrong: Running just two nodes Run

    the health check from the standby and promote that standby when the health check indicates the primary failure Primary wal Standby wal wal stream health check
  5. 7 Automatic failover done wrong: Single witness node Primary wal

    wal witness health check health check wal stream What can possibly go wrong? Standby
  6. 8 Automatic failover done wrong: Single witness node Primary wal

    Standby wal witness health check health check wal stream Witness node dies
  7. 9 Automatic failover done wrong: Single witness node Primary wal

    Standby wal witness health check health check wal stream Or gets partitioned
  8. 10 Automatic failover done wrong: Single witness node Primary wal

    Primary wal witness health check Existing primary is running
  9. 11 Automatic failover done right wal Standby wal Primary I

    am the leader Leader changed? Quorum
  10. 12 Automatic failover: the right way • Leader elections among

    all members of the cluster • Each member decides only for itself • Cluster state stored in a consistent distributed storage • Leader key changed via atomic CAS operations • Client follow the new leader • Fencing of non-cooperative or failed nodes
  11. 13 Bot pattern • PostgreSQL cannot talk to Etcd directly

    • Let’s employ a bot to manage PostgreSQL • A bot should run alongside PostgreSQL • A bot will talk to Etcd (or other DCS) • A bot decides on promotion/demotion
  12. 14 Bot pattern: master acknowledges its presence Primary NODE A

    Standby NODE B Standby NODE C UPDATE(“/leader”, “A”, ttl=30, prevValue=”A”) Success WATCH (/leader) WATCH (/leader) /leader: “A”, ttl: 30
  13. 15 Bot pattern: master dies, leader key holds Primary NODE

    A Standby NODE B Standby NODE C WATCH (/leader) WATCH (/leader) /leader: “A”, ttl: 17
  14. 16 Bot pattern: leader key expires Standby NODE B Standby

    NODE C Notify (/leader, expired=true) Notify (/leader, expired= true) /leader: “A”, ttl: 0
  15. 17 Bot pattern: who will be the next master? Standby

    NODE B Standby NODE C Node B: GET A:8008/patroni -> timeout GET C:8008/patroni -> wal_position: 100 Node C: GET A:8008/patroni -> timeout GET C:8008/patroni -> wal_position: 100
  16. 18 Bot pattern: leader race among equals Standby NODE B

    Standby NODE C /leader: “C”, ttl: 30 CREATE (“/leader”, “C”, ttl=30, prevExists=False) CREATE (“/leader”, “B”, ttl=30, prevExists=False) FAIL SUCCESS
  17. 19 Bot pattern: promote and continue replication Standby NODE B

    Primary NODE C /leader: “C”, ttl: 30 WATCH(/leader) promote
  18. 20 Etcd consistency store • Distributed key-value store • Implements

    RAFT • Needs more than 2 nodes (optimal: odd number) http://thesecretlivesofdata.com/raft/
  19. 21 Patroni • Patroni implements bot pattern in Python •

    Official successor of Compose Governor • Developed in the open by Zalando and volunteers all over the world https://github.com/zalando/patroni
  20. 23 • install docker • docker pull kliukin/patroni-training • docker

    run -d --name patroni-training kliukin/patroni-training • docker exec -ti patroni-training bash postgres@f40a9391f810:~$ ls *.yml postgres0.yml postgres1.yml postgres2.yml Using docker
  21. 24 • install vagrant • get the vagrantfile from https://github.com/alexeyklyukin/patroni-training

    • vagrant up • vagrant ssh ubuntu@ubuntu-xenial:~$ sudo -iu postgres postgres@ubuntu-xenial:~$ ls *.yml postgres0.yml postgres1.yml postgres2.yml (Optional) using vagrant

  51. 56 • PostgreSQL master is running ◦ GET /master should

    return 200 for one and only one node • PostgreSQL replicas are streaming ◦ GET /patroni from the master should return replication: [{state: streaming} for all replica nodes] • PostgreSQL is running ◦ GET /patroni should return state:running for every node in the cluster • PostgreSQL replicas is not lagging ◦ GET /patroni received and replayed location on every replica should not be behind a certain threshold from the GET /patroni xlog: location from the master Patroni API does not provide a way to discover all PostgreSQL nodes. This can be achieved by looking directly into the DCS, or using some features of the cloud provider (i.e. AWS labels, see https://github.com/zalando/patroni/blob/master/patroni/scripts/aws.py). Monitoring PostgreSQL health
  52. 57 Routing connections from clients • Using API http status

    codes: ◦ /master - {200: master, 503: replica} ◦ /replica - {503: master, 200: replica} • Using callbacks: ◦ on_start, on_stop, on_reload, on_restart, on_role_change, • Using information from DCS (i.e. confd) • HAProxy example: https://github.com/zalando/patroni/tree/master/extras/confd ◦ Can be adopted to Pgbouncer • Using jdbc: jdbc:postgresql://node1,node2,node3/postgres?targetServerType=master • libpq starting from PostgreSQL 10: postgresql://host1:port2,host2:port2/?target_session_attrs=read-write
  53. 59 Using callbacks readonly cb_name=$1 readonly role=$2 readonly scope=$3 function

    usage() { echo "Usage: $0 <on_start|on_stop|on_role_change> <role> <scope>"; exit 1; } case $cb_name in on_stop ) remove_service_ip ;; on_start|on_role_change ) [[ $role == 'master' ]] && add_service_ip || remove_service_ip ;; * ) usage ;; esac
  54. 60 Using callbacks Callbacks are executed asynchronously after successfully completing

    the actions that trigger them. Beware of race conditions. See https://github.com/zalando/patroni/issues/536 for more details
  55. 61 Using tags to modify behavior of individual nodes •

    nofailover (true/false) - disable failover/switchover to the given node (node will not become a master) • noloadbalance (true/false) - /replica always returns code 503 • clonefrom (true/false) - node adds itself to the list of origins for initializing new replicas. When at least one replica has this tag, cloning will always be performed from that replica if PostgreSQL is running there. When multiple replicas has it - the cloning origin is chosen randomly among one of them. • nosync (true/false) - node will never become a synchronous replica • replicatefrom (node name) - specify a node to replicate from. This can be used to implement a cascading replication. If the node is not suitable (doesn’t exist or not running PostgreSQL), the master will be chosen instead. * Tags are configured on every node individually
  56. 62 Using replicatefrom to create cascading replication Use tags on

    the new node to create a cascading streaming replica. HINT: look at postgres2.yml
  57. 64 Switchover and failover • Failover: emergency promotion of a

    given node ◦ automatic, when no leader is present in the cluster ◦ manual, when automatic failover is not present or cannot decide on the new master • Switchover: switch of the master role to a new node. Requires the presence of the master.

  69. 76 Synchronous replication • synchronous_mode: true/false Cluster-wide settings. Patroni will

    choose one of the replicas and set it to be the synchronous one. Information about the synchronous replica is kept in DCS. When the master dies patroni fails over only to the synchronous replica (if it exists). Manual failover is possible to a non-synchronous one. If no replica can be set to synchronous - the synchronous replication is disabled, favoring availability over durability. • synchronous_mode_strict: true/false Works the same as a synchronous mode, but if no replicas can be set to synchronous - the synchronous mode is retained and the master will not accept any writes (*) until another synchronous replica is available, resulting in no data loss * - setting synchronous_commit to local or off per transaction will disable that guarantee on a given transaction.

    be configured with environment varibles described at https://patroni.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ENVIRONMENT.html • Environment variables take priority over the corresponding parameters listed in the configuration file. • One can pass a complete Patroni configuration in the PATRONI_CONFIGURATION environment variable. If it is present - no other sources of configuration are considered.
