Greenplum 跨库数据JOIN需求 - dblink的使用和弊端以及解决方案

标签

PostgreSQL , Greenplum , dblink


背景

Greenplum在许多企业中被用于数据仓库,一个企业中通常会有统一的用户管理系统,账务系统;还有许多业务线。

数据被分成两类,一类是业务相关的,一类是全公司统一的数据。

如果用户将两个部分数据分别存入不同的数据库(单个实例可以创建多个数据库),并且公共数据需要与业务数据JOIN时,你可能会想到dblink这个功能,通过DBLINK管理其他数据库然后和本地数据进行JOIN。

Greenplum 跨库数据JOIN需求 - dblink的使用和弊端以及解决方案

如果你对实例和数据库的概念不太理解,可以参考一下这篇文档。

《PostgreSQL 逻辑结构 和 权限体系 介绍》

那么到底dblink是否适合这个场景呢?

部署dblink on Greenplum

Greenplum默认并没有打包dblink,所以需要部署一下。

下载与greenplum base postgresql 一致的postgresql源码

例如现在greenplum base postgresql是8.3的版本。

cd postgresql-8.3/contrib/dblink/  
  
vi Makefile  
  
PG_CPPFLAGS = -I$(libpq_srcdir) -w  
  
export PATH=/home/gpdb/bin:$PATH  
  
USE_PGXS=1 make   
USE_PGXS=1 make install  

将dblink.so拷贝到所有节点的gp软件目录

/bin/mkdir -p '/home/digoal/gp/lib/postgresql'  
/bin/sh /home/digoal/gp/lib/postgresql/pgxs/src/makefiles/../../config/install-sh -c -m 755  dblink.so '/home/digoal/gp/lib/postgresql/dblink.so'  
/bin/sh /home/digoal/gp/lib/postgresql/pgxs/src/makefiles/../../config/install-sh -c -m 644 ./uninstall_dblink.sql '/home/digoal/gp/share/postgresql/contrib'  
/bin/sh /home/digoal/gp/lib/postgresql/pgxs/src/makefiles/../../config/install-sh -c -m 644 dblink.sql '/home/digoal/gp/share/postgresql/contrib'  
/bin/sh /home/digoal/gp/lib/postgresql/pgxs/src/makefiles/../../config/install-sh -c -m 644 ./README.dblink '/home/digoal/gp/doc/postgresql/contrib'  

测试

需要使用dblink的数据库,执行dblink.sql

psql db1 -f ./dblink.sql  

创建2张测试表,注意他们的分布键,用于观察。

create table tbl(id int);  
  
create table tbl1(c1 int,id int);  
  
postgres=# \d tbl  
      Table "public.tbl"  
 Column |  Type   | Modifiers   
--------+---------+-----------  
 id     | integer |   
Distributed by: (id)  
  
postgres=# \d tbl1  
     Table "public.tbl1"  
 Column |  Type   | Modifiers   
--------+---------+-----------  
 c1     | integer |   
 id     | integer |   
Distributed by: (c1)  

分别插入100万测试数据

insert into tbl select generate_series(1,1000000);  
insert into tbl1 select 1,generate_series(1,1000000);  

测试1,原地JOIN

Redistribute Motion 3:3,表示从3个节点重分布到3个节点,说明原始数据来自3个节点。

Gather Motion 3:1,表示从3个节点汇聚到1个节点,

  
postgres=# explain analyze select count(*) from tbl join tbl1 on tbl.id=tbl1.id;  
                                                                                  QUERY PLAN

测试2,一张表JOIN另一个DBLINK的结果

从DBLINK结果的重分布信息(1:3),可以分析出这样的结论

1. 可以肯定的是,DBLINK并没有在每个数据节点执行,但是在哪个数据节点执行的,从计划上看不出来。

2. 由于DBLINK没有在所有节点执行,意味着,如果DBLINK返回的结果集很大的话,这个执行节点的压力会较大。

postgres=# explain analyze select count(*) from tbl join (select * from dblink('dbname=postgres','select * from tbl1') AS t(c1 int,id int)) t on tbl.id=t.id;  
                                                                                     QUERY PLAN

			   重分布信息,可以看出信息是从1个节点重分布到3个节点的。  
			   这里没有看到Gather Motion(即数据收到master的过程),是不是可以判断dblink是在某个数据节点上被执行的?还不能。

				 dblink调用信息,这里看不出来它到底是在哪个节点调用的。也不知道是不是所有节点调用的。

测试3,自定义function 1的调用和重分布

从重分布执行计划结果看,自定义函数也只在某个节点被调用。

测试4,自定义function 2的调用和重分布

某些情况会报错,例如: 当函数中有访问到数据库表,并且需要与其他表进行JOIN时。

测试5,单独调用dblink和自定义函数

从执行计划可以看出,没有Gather motion节点,说明dblink函数和自定义函数就是在master节点执行的。

postgres=# explain analyze select count(*) from dblink('dbname=postgres','select * from tbl1') as t(c1 int,id int);  
                                              QUERY PLAN

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
 -- 注意这里没有Gather Motion节点,那说明f()函数就是在master执行的  
 Aggregate  (cost=20.00..20.01 rows=1 width=8)  
   Rows out:  1 rows with 826 ms to end, start offset by 0.072 ms.  
   ->  Function Scan on f t  (cost=0.00..12.50 rows=3000 width=0)

如果在数据节点执行,应该有Gather motion节点,例如

postgres=# explain analyze select * from tbl1;  
                                                  QUERY PLAN

Greenplum dblink 弊端

目前dblink与普通的用户自定义函数类似,并没有和Greenplum的MPP架构进行适配,它们会在master节点被调用,如果dblink返回的结果集较大,master很容易成为瓶颈。

如果需要使用dblink与其他表进行JOIN,流程是这样的。

1. 首先会在master调用dblink,

2. dblink执行的结果集会收到master节点

3. master节点将结果集重分布到数据节点,

4. 然后再与其他表进行JOIN。(好在JOIN并不会在master节点执行。)

当然,我们不排除gpdb社区未来会改造dblink,来适配MPP的架构。但是至少目前还存在以上弊端,(除非dblink返回的结果集很小,否则请谨慎使用)。

建议的方案

1. 建议数据放到一个数据库中,使用不同的schema来区分不同的业务数据或公共数据。这样的话在同一个数据库中就可以任意的JOIN了,对master无伤害。

2. 如果不同业务一定要使用多个数据库,那么建议使用外部表作为公共表,这样做也不会伤害MASTER,并且每个节点都可以并行的访问外部表的数据。

例如gpfdist外部表,阿里云HybridDB的OSS外部表等。

外部表一旦写入,就不可修改,如果公共数据经常变化,或者定期需要更新,(例如某些账务系统,每天或定期会将用户信息更新到Greenplum中)那么建议使用一个字段来标示最新数据,同时低频率的增量合并外部表。

例如

2.1. 只写 tbl_foreign_table_news(id int, xxx, xxx 最后更新时间)。

2.2. 低频率的truncate tbl_foreign_table_origin,然后将tbl_foreign_table_news合并到 tbl_foreign_table_origin。

2.3. 用户查询tbl_foreign_table_origin即为公共数据。

3. 如果dblink获取的结果集较小,那么使用dblink作为临时的方案,来实现实例内跨库数据JOIN是没有太大问题的。
