Design

The ptor tool is designed to validate the RPO, RTO of a PostgreSQL HA instance. By using this tool, we can put some load into the primary instance, which will get replicated to it's secondary.

While the data loading happens, we can either turn off the primary or it's vm instance to trigger the underlying auto failover system. Once the auto failover happens, ptor tool will evaluate the RPO(Data Loss) and RTO(Recovery Time) of the HA system.

To use ptor tool, we need below two instances.

  1. PRIMARY_PGDSN which points to the primary endpoint
  2. REPO_PGDSN which makes a copy of the transactions, which parallel workers execute on the PRIMARY_PGDSN. We need this REPO_PGDSN instance, to validate the data after we trigger the failover/switchover.

Quick Test

Local

Quick test performed between the two local instance, where primary and repo instances are in sync streaming replication mode. In this demo, we restarted the local primary instance to mimic the failover/switchover.

asciicast

Other Demos

All the demos are done with a sync streaming replication between the primary and secondary nodes. All the instances are configured to be in the same network.

pg_auto_failover

Configure PRIMARY_PGDSN as a multi host connection string as like below.

    host=host1,host2 port=5432,5432 user=postgres password=password target_session_attrs=read-write

Demo Ptor pg_auto_failover

Stolon

Configure PRIMARY_PGDSN as to point the stolon proxy.

Installation

Below are the installation steps, which are prepared on RHEL instance. If you are using debain flavour, then use the platform specific package tools like apt-get or brew to install the below components.

  1. Install git

     $ sudo yum install git -y
    
  2. Install golang

     $ sudo yum install golang -y
    
  3. Install PostgreSQL server (Optional)

     $ sudo yum install postgresql-server -y
    

    This is for the repo server, where we save a copy of primary transactions.

  4. Download the copy of ptor source

     $ git clone https://github.com/dineshkumar02/ptor.git
    
  5. Build the ptor binary

     $ cd ptor
     $ make
    

Usage

Option Usage
--repo-pgdsn The repo PostgreSQL connection string, where it syncs primary data.
--primary-pgdsn The primary or service PostgreSQL connection string, where we run switchover/failover.
--parallel-workers Number of parallel workers to run data loading. It will create these many individual tables.
--init Initialize the paralle-workers tables.
--reset Delete all data from repo and primary instances.
--warmup-duration Initial data loading duration in seconds.
--insert-percent Percentage number of insert operations.
--update-percent Percentage number of update operations.
--delete-percent Percentage number of delete operations.
--full-data-validation Run full data validation on both repo and primary in the end of the test case.
--async-repo-mode All primary events will get in sync to repo asynchronously. This improves more data generation on the primary side.
--rto-conn-timeout Primary dns connection timeout value. This helps in calculating the RTO
--check-primary-latency Check network connectivity latency between ptor and primary dns
--validation-delay Delay the data validation these many seconds. This value is going to be added to the RTO
