Replication stops with "missing chunk number 0 for toast value"

[badboyd]

Bottledwater was running on replication stream mode then it exited with this message

[FATAL] Replication stream was unexpectedly terminated: ERROR: missing chunk number 0 for toast value 507471 in pg_toast_17774 CONTEXT: slot "bottledwater", output plugin "bottledwater", in the change callback, associated LSN E3/32827B38

Exit nicely. Bye bye !

Unfortunately right now --on-error only applies to errors that occur in the client daemon. That error is coming from the logical decoding output plugin, which currently always terminates the replication stream on error. This can also happen e.g. for very large values: see #36. I'm working on a change that will pass the error policy through to the output plugin, so that if the policy is log it will log and drop.

However, it looks like there's a separate issue here - any idea what that "missing chunk number" error is all about? Are you able to isolate what data or table schema is causing that?

[badboyd]

I think the error is came from this line

I do a research, this error happens with other people too, please look at this

And then I check this guy code and an example in postgresql code, look like they check this condition VARATT_IS_EXTERNAL_ONDISK before detoasting the datum.

I'm still reading to find out what VARATT_IS_EXTERNAL_ONDISK actually does.

Hmm, that nabble link has been down for maintenance since yesterday so I can't read the thread you linked to. Does look like there might be an extra case to check for, although it's weird that the pg_plugins code you linked to has an Assert(0) for that code path (and a comment saying "this should never happen")!

If you are able to track this down and verify it fixes the issue you're seeing, it would be great if you could submit it as a pull request.

Can you try my commit ?

What source are you trying to build ? Can you share your source ?

[abcfy2]

Your pull request #101

git clone https://github.com/confluentinc/bottledwater-pg.git
git fetch origin pull/101/head:pull101
git checkout pull101

But I tried the master branch code to build, still this error.

[badboyd]

I build it successfully.

Please check this error, I see this from your log

Package libsnappy was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libsnappy.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'libsnappy', required by 'avro-c', not found

[abcfy2]

But I've already installed the libsnappy1 package:

Please check this, I think this issue is already fixed. https://github.com/confluentinc/bottledwater-pg/issues/49

And you can also try my commit with your souce by this: git cherry-pick f5156d9c27830fd72c58f29a6a6aaa564a5fbff7

[abcfy2]

I know the reason.

Here is my repo:

deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ trusty-pgdg main

But this repo will install libpq-dev 9.5.4-1.pgdg14.04+1. How to install 9.4 version?

[badboyd]

You can do like this

echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ trusty-pgdg main 9.4" > /etc/apt/source.list.d/pgsql.list

apt-get update apt-get purge libpq5 apt-get install libedit-dev libpq5=9.4* libpq-dev=9.4* apt-mark hold libpq5 apt-get install postgresql-9.4 postgresql-server-dev-9.4

I tried and it fixed your problem.

[abcfy2]

Finall I build success, but get this error:

[FATAL] Replication stream was unexpectedly terminated: ERROR:  could not load library "/usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/lib/bottledwater.so": /usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/lib/bottledwater.so: undefined symbol: avro_schema_union_append

Ah, it's very hard for me to build from source. I wish to use a deb package for deploying. Waiting for ppa update: https://launchpad.net/~stub/+archive/ubuntu/bottledwater (But this ppa has no postgresql-9.5 extension)

[abcfy2]

@badboyd Seems not helpful. Still this error. I've checkout your code and restarted bottledwater and postgresql.

Could you please give me more information about your table schema, this table mart_goods_goods_category ?

[badboyd]

Can you try add a log to see where is the problem from ? Forgive me but did you install the new extension to Postgresql ?

Yes, I've installed the extension. Here is my tar package:
