Bug Description

An Akiban Server instance running in an AMI is taking 20+ minutes to start. During this time the CPU is 100% busy doing this:

Upon further investigation we found that the journal file contains over 300Mbyte of IT (Identify Tree) records, almost entirely trees created in temporary volumes during sort operations. There are 8,406,774 IT records in the journal.

Temporary trees and volumes should not identified in the journal at all.

Further, this system is exhibiting the behavior predicted in https://bugs.launchpad.net/akiban-persistit/+bug/956333.

Revision history for this message
Peter Beaman (pbeaman) wrote :

The proposed fix incorporates logic to clean up existing databases. The first startup recovery on a site having this problem using the modified version of Persistit will delete all the temporary trees from the tree map. The next journal file rollover event after that will write a tree map without the temporary tree IT records, and subsequent to that they will not reappear.
