Multiversion Concurrency Control Version 2.0 Adrian Hudnott UK Ingres Users Association Conference 2010
Outline • Objectives • Locking • Oracle MVCC (& Ingres MVCC) • Anomalies • Allowable Behaviours • OCC-SG • Conclusions
Objectives • Mutual Exclusion • Serialized • Recoverable • Concurrent • Current • Minimum Wasted Work • Starvation Free
2 1 T(2) < T(1) Transaction 2 comes “before” transaction 1 Notation R(v,1); W(x,1); W(z,1); W(v,1); R(z,2); R(y,1); R(y,2); C(2); W(y,1); C(1) R(v,1) Transaction 1 reads v W(x,1) Transaction 1 writes to x C(2) Transaction 2 commits
MVCC Version 1.0 R(x,1); W(x,1); R(x,2); W(x,2); C(1) Rollback 2 – first updater wins in Oracle & Ingres 10
T(1) < T(2) • T(2) < T(1) • Contradiction! • Not prevented by first updater wins • Called “Write Skew” MVCC Version 1.0: Anomalies R(x,1); R(y,1); R(x,2); R(y,2); W(x,1); W(y,2); C(1); C(2)
2 1 • T(2) < T(1) • T(3) < T(2) • T(3) > T(1) • Transaction 3 reads y as committed by transaction 1 • Called “Read-Only Anomaly” 3 MVCC Version 1.0: Anomalies R(x,2); R(y,2); R(y,1); W(y,1); C(1); R(x,3); R(y,3); W(x,2); C(2)
New Stuff 2 1 • T(3) < T(2) 3 MVCC Version 2.0: Allowable R(x,2); R(y,2); R(y,1); W(y,1); C(1); R(x,3); R(y,3); W(x,2); C(2) • T(2) < T(1) • T(3) < T(1) • Transaction 3 reads a version of y before transaction 1’s write • Transaction 3 has “time travelled” before transaction 1 • N.B. Cannot time travel before transactions in the same session
MVCC Version 2.0: Allowable • Integrity constraint checking • Over limit rule: SELECT DISTINCT ‘Failed’ FROM CUSTOMER NATURAL JOIN ACCOUNT WHERE CREDIT_RATING < 100 AND BALANCE < -OVERDRAFT_LIMIT AND STATUS <> ‘Frozen’
MVCC Version 2.0: Allowable • Blind writes: R(x,1); W(x,1); W(x,2); C(1); C(2) • If T(1) < T(2) then write transaction 2’s value for x • If T(1) > T(2) then ignore transaction 2’s write request • Write-Write conflicts are a red herring under MVCC • Known as Thomas Write Rule
OCC-SG: Basics • Record the serialization graph explicitly • For each element read or written, record: • Read list • Write list T(2) < T(3) graph[2][3]
1 2 3 1 2 3 OCC-SG: Writing • When a transaction i wants to write to x, inspect the read list. For each uncommitted transaction j: • If closure[ i ][ j ] is set then choose which transaction to rollback • Otherwise set graph[ j ][ i ] and update the closure • Write a new version of x Transitive closure
OCC-SG: Reading • When a transaction i wants to read from x, inspect the write list. For each transaction j: • If i = j then skip to step 5 • If closure[ j ][ i ] is set then wait for transaction j to commit or rollback • Otherwise set graph[ i ][ j ] and update the closure • Scan the headers of the versions of x • Classify into before versions and after versions • Arrange the before versions in order. Ensure it is a total order. Add any new constraints to the graph. • Read the before versions in order, progressively applying the changes from the base revision
OCC-SG: Serialization • Graph should not grow too large • Serialization procedure • If a transaction i: • has rolled back, OR • has committed and there are no transactions time travelled before it • then put transaction i into the serialized list • Serialization list is emptied at each checkpoint Transaction ID 0 serialized 3rd
Conclusions • Locking is safe but not fast enough • Oracle style MVCC performs better but is not safe • Oracle style MVCC rolls back some legitimate schedules • Protocols proposed in academia (e.g. OCC-DATI) are too optimistic (don’t rollback until a transaction is ready to commit) • Protocols proposed in academia lack industrial strength features such as statement level rollback • OCC-SG puts the serialization graph, previously a theoretical device, at the heart of the algorithm • OCC-SG combines the best features from Oracle / Ingres 10 and from academia • Still at the research stage, but a working simulation has been created in Java
