PostgreSQL基于Patroni方案的高可用启动流程分析

什么是Patroni

在很多生产环境中，分布式数据库以高可用性、数据分布性、负载均衡等特性，被用户广泛应用。而作为高可用数据库的解决方案——Patroni，是专门为PostgreSQL数据库设计的，一款以Python语言实现的高可用架构模板。该架构模板，旨在通过外部共享存储软件（kubernetes、etcd、etcd3、zookeeper、aws等），实现 PostgreSQL 集群的自动故障恢复、自动故障转移、自动备份等能力。
主要特点：
1.自动故障检测和恢复：Patroni 监视 PostgreSQL 集群的健康状态，一旦检测到主节点故障，它将自动执行故障恢复操作，将其中一个从节点晋升为主节点。
2.自动故障转移：一旦 Patroni 定义了新的主节点，它将协调所有从节点和客户端，以确保它们正确地切换到新的主节点，从而实现快速、无缝的故障转移。
3.一致性和数据完整性：Patroni 高度关注数据一致性和完整性。在故障切换过程中，它会确保在新主节点接管之前，数据不会丢失或受损。
4.外部共享配置存储：Patroni 使用外部键值存储（如 ZooKeeper、etcd 或 Consul）来存储配置和集群状态信息。这确保了配置的一致性和可访问性，并支持多个 Patroni 实例之间的协作。
5.支持多种云环境和物理硬件：Patroni 不仅可以在云环境中运行，还可以部署在物理硬件上，提供了广泛的部署选项。
Patroni架构解析

●DCS（Distributed Configuration Store ）：是指分布式配置信息的存储位置，可支持kubernetes、etcd、etcd3、zookeeper、aws等存储媒介，由Patroni进行分布式配置信息的读写。
●核心Patroni：负责将分布式配置信息写入DCS中，并设置PostgreSQL节点的角色以及PostgreSQL配置信息，管理PostgreSQL的生命周期。
●PostgreSQL节点：各PostgreSQL节点，根据Patroni设置的PostgreSQL配置信息，生成主从关系链，以流复制的方式进行数据同步，最终生成一个PostgreSQL集群。

Patroni高可用启动流程

流程说明：
●加载集群信息，通过DCS支持的API接口，获取集群信息，主要内容如下：
○config：记录pg集群ID以及配置信息（包括pg参数信息、一些超时时间配置等），用于集群校验、节点重建等；
○leader：记录主节点选举时间、心跳时间、选举周期、最新的lsn等，用于主节点完成竞争后的信息记录；
○sync: 记录主节点和同步节点信息，由主节点记录，用于主从切换、故障转移的同步节点校验；
○failover: 记录最后一次故障转移的时间。
●集群状态检测，主要检测集群配置信息的内容校验，当前集群的整体状态及节点状态，判断通过什么方式来启动PostgreSQL；
●启动PostgreSQL，用于初始化PostgreSQL目录，根据集群信息设置相应的PostgreSQL配置信息，并启动；
●生成PostgreSQL集群，指将完成启动的PostgreSQL节点，通过设置主从角色，关联不同角色的PostgreSQL节点，最终生成完整的集群。
Patroni高可用启动流程分析
加载集群信息
加载集群信息，是高可用流程启动的第一步，也是生成PostgreSQL集群的最关键信息。

第一步，记载集群信息

…

try:self.load_cluster_from_dcs()self.state_handler.reset_cluster_info_state(self.cluster, self.patroni.nofailover)
except Exception:self.state_handler.reset_cluster_info_state(None, self.patroni.nofailover)raise
......

通过DCS接口加载集群信息

def load_cluster_from_dcs(self):
cluster = self.dcs.get_cluster()

# We want to keep the state of cluster when it was healthy
if not cluster.is_unlocked() or not self.old_cluster:self.old_cluster = cluster
self.cluster = clusterif not self.has_lock(False):self.set_is_leader(False)self._leader_timeline = None if cluster.is_unlocked() else cluster.leader.timeline

集群接口

def get_cluster(self, force=False):if force:self._bypass_caches()try:cluster = self._load_cluster()except Exception:self.reset_cluster()raise

self._last_seen = int(time.time())with self._cluster_thread_lock:self._cluster = clusterself._cluster_valid_till = time.time() + self.ttlreturn cluster

@abc.abstractmethod

以Kubernetes作为DCS为例

上述集群信息中，主要以xxx-config、xxx-leader、xxx-failover、xxx-sync作为配置信息，具体内容如下：

上述例子中，下有和2个参数，
1.定义集群的整体配置信息，这里包含了PostgreSQL配置参数以及集群参数（选举等待时间、允许的最大WAL延迟量、是否开启同步模式等）等；
2.定义了集群的ID，该值对应pg_controldata命令内的值，因此，所有集群内的PostgreSQL节点有相同的sys_id。
root@pg142-1013-postgresql-1:/home/postgres# pg_controldata | grep "Database system identifier"
Database system identifier:           7289263672843878470
●xxx-leader
% kubectl get cm pg142-1013-postgresql-leader -oyaml

上述下，各参数含义：
1.acquireTime：获取集群leader锁时间；
2.leader：集群leader锁的拥有者，这里表示某个PostgreSQL节点名称；
3.optime：集群leader的最新LSN的十进制数，这里;
4.renewTime：集群leader锁的拥有者心跳时间，心跳周期与xxx-config中的对应；
5.transitions：集群leader锁占用次数，一般发生在主从切换或故障转移场景，依次累加；
6.ttl：故障转移前的选举时间，即超过TTL时间下，没有获取到renewTime值更新，便触发选举，由新的节点占用leader锁。
●xxx-sync

检测集群是否暂停

集群暂停，是指集群中的PostgreSQL节点不由Patroni管理，当集群异常时，不再出发故障转移等措施。
集群暂停一般由用户主动出发，可以用在单个PostgreSQL节点的维护上，触发方式：

上述，即表示当前集群已停止。此时，PostgreSQL进程仍然存活，如果故障，将需要用户自行启动。

集群初始化检测

cluster has leader key but not initialize key通过命令，即可恢复集群。

在恢复集群后，需要对集群中PostgreSQL节点进行处理：
1.重新配置PostgreSQL的参数；
2.根据xxx-sync中最后一次记录的主、同步节点名称信息，在主节点上设置同步复制槽信息；
3.检测恢复后的PostgreSQL节点的是否变更，与最后一次xxx-config中的值，是否一致，否则将无法恢复集群。

if not (self.cluster.is_unlocked() or self.sysid_valid(self.cluster.initialize)) and self.has_lock():self.dcs.initialize(create_new=(self.cluster.initialize is None), sysid=self.state_handler.sysid)if not (self.cluster.is_unlocked() or self.cluster.config and self.cluster.config.data) and self.has_lock():self.dcs.set_config_value(json.dumps(self.patroni.config.dynamic_configuration, separators=(',', ':')))self.cluster = self.dcs.get_cluster()

集群初始化检测，主要检测2个方面的信息：
●集群当前存在leader节点，但xxx-config中的不存在，此时，需要将leader节点上PostgreSQL的sysid设置到xxx-config中；
●集群当前存在leader节点，但未获取到xxx-config信息，需要将leader节点上的配置信息和sysid都设置到xxx-config中，并重新获取集群信息。
该步骤的用途是，防止xxx-config文件被删除，导致从节点加载集群信息失败。
节点状态检测

检测当前PostgreSQL的进程启动到了什么阶段

if self._async_executor.busy:return self.handle_long_action_in_progress()

检测启动中的PostgreSQL是否出现异常

msg = self.handle_starting_instance()
if msg is not None:
return msg
节点状态检测，是通过检测PostgreSQL节点的当前运行状态，来确定是否需要进行具体的操作，节点状态检测的方式可分为2种：
1.通过PostgreSQL的运行状态确定；
2.通过异步进程（_async_executor）监听，当前节点处于什么阶段。

节点检测通过后基础操作

# we've got here, so any async action has finished.
if self.state_handler.bootstrapping:return self.post_bootstrap()if self.recovering:self.recovering = Falseif not self._rewind.is_needed:# Check if we tried to recover from postgres crash and failedmsg = self.post_recover()if msg is not None:return msg# Reset some states after postgres successfully started upself._crash_recovery_executed = Falseif self._rewind.executed and not self._rewind.failed:self._rewind.reset_state()# The Raft cluster without a quorum takes a bit of time to stabilize.# Therefore we want to postpone the leader race if we just started up.if self.cluster.is_unlocked() and self.dcs.__class__.__name__ == 'Raft':return 'started as a secondary'

节点状态检测通过后，需要对PostgreSQL进行操作：

1.PostgreSQL启动后操作
def post_bootstrap(self):with self._async_response:result = self._async_response.result# bootstrap has failed if postgres is not runningif not self.state_handler.is_running() or result is False:self.cancel_initialization()

if result is None:if not self.state_handler.is_leader():return 'waiting for end of recovery after bootstrap'self.state_handler.set_role('master')ret = self._async_executor.try_run_async('post_bootstrap', self.state_handler.bootstrap.post_bootstrap,args=(self.patroni.config['bootstrap'], self._async_response))return ret or 'running post_bootstrap'self.state_handler.bootstrapping = False
if not self.watchdog.activate():logger.error('Cancelling bootstrap because watchdog activation failed')self.cancel_initialization()
self._rewind.ensure_checkpoint_after_promote(self.wakeup)
self.dcs.initialize(create_new=(self.cluster.initialize is None), sysid=self.state_handler.sysid)
self.dcs.set_config_value(json.dumps(self.patroni.config.dynamic_configuration, separators=(',', ':')))
self.dcs.take_leader()
self.set_is_leader(True)
self.state_handler.call_nowait(ACTION_ON_START)
self.load_cluster_from_dcs()return 'initialized a new cluster'

上述操作，包括pg_rewind后的checkpoint检测、初始化DCS的xxx-config资源、生成xxx-leader资源、加载集群信息等。
2.恢复中的PostgreSQL检测是否需要执行pg_rewind
if self.recovering:
self.recovering = False

if not self._rewind.is_needed:# Check if we tried to recover from postgres crash and failedmsg = self.post_recover()if msg is not None:return msg# Reset some states after postgres successfully started up
self._crash_recovery_executed = False
if self._rewind.executed and not self._rewind.failed:self._rewind.reset_state()

pg_rewind命令用于将从节点的WAL与主节点的WAL拉齐，一般用于从节点WAL因异常后滞后于主节点WAL。
启动PostgreSQL

无数据目录启动

无数据目录启动，是指在执行初始化目录异常、恢复节点异常、WAL拉齐异常等场景下，会触发的流程：
1.设置角色，用于后续重新初始化集群；
2.立即停止当前PostgreSQL进程；
3.判断当前节点是否为主节点，主动释放主节点锁；
4.执行启动操作。

上述代码，表示启动的几种方式：
1.当前集群已有leader节点，当前PostgreSQL将以从节点从主节点上同步数据启动；
2.当前集群没有leader节点，当前PostgreSQL将以主节点启动，如果是备用集群，将以备用集群主节点启动；
3.当前集群为备用集群且没有主节点，从节点通过方式，一般通过协议流方式从主集群上进行数据同步。
有数据目录启动
有数据目录启动，主要校验集群ID与PostgreSQL节点sysid的一致性，触发的主要流程：
1.校验PostgreSQL节点sysid是否有效，如果无效，表示PostgreSQL出现了异常需要重启；
2.校验校验集群ID与PostgreSQL节点sysid是否一致，不一致将无法加入集群，如果集群已暂停，将会释放leader锁占用；
3.检验集群没有leader节点，当前节点将重新初始化集群，将sysid作为新的集群ID启动。

生成PostgreSQL集群，主要根据当前集群是否存在主节点，判断走健康的集群流程还是非健康的集群流程。

非健康的集群流程，是确定leader节点的候选，首要条件必须找到一个健康的节点，如何判断健康的节点，主要有以下几个条件：
1.PostgreSQL集群状态非暂停；
2.PostgreSQL节点状态非启动中；
3.PostgreSQL节点允许故障转移；
4.PostgreSQL节点WAL与集群缓存中的（最后一次主节点同步的lsn值）的滞后量在允许的范围内。

当前节点为健康节点，因当前集群没有主节点，需要执行leader锁抢占。如果当前节点抢占leader锁失败，将作为从节点加入到集群中。
当前节点为异常节点，则会一直等待PostgreSQL节点正常后，参与集群的选举行为。

健康的集群流程，是指当前的集群存在leader节点，对该流程的处理，主要有2个方向：
1.检测当前节点为主节点，进行更新leader锁操作，保持主节点心跳，避免从节点竞争锁，如果更新锁失败，将立即释放锁，让其他从节点抢占；
2.检测当前节点非主节点，作为从节点加入集群。
