An improved method, mechanism, and system for implementing, generating, and maintaining records, such as redo records and redo logs in a database system, are disclosed. Multiple sets of records may be created and combined into a partially ordered (or non-ordered) group of records, which are later collectively ordered or sorted as needed to create an fully ordered set of records. With respect to a database system, redo generation bottleneck is minimized by providing multiple in-memory redo buffers that are available to hold redo records generated by multiple threads of execution. When the in-memory redo buffers are written to a persistent storage medium, no specific ordering needs to be specified with respect to the redo records from the different in-memory redo buffers. While the collective group of records may not be ordered, the written-out redo records may be partially ordered based upon the ordered redo records from within individual in-memory redo buffers. At recovery, ordering and/or merging of redo records may occur to satisfy database consistency requirements.
摘要:
A method for preventing multiple pings. An embodiment of the invention detects requests of data blocks entailing pings likely to cause additional pings. The servicing of requests involving a pings likely to cause additional pings is deferred until a service enabling conditions occurs. Another embodiment of the invention detects situations where by further updating a data block before pinging the data block use of resources on the remote node requesting the data block are reduced. The servicing of the request for the data block is deferred until a service enabling conditions occurs.
摘要:
Techniques are provided for managing caches in a system with multiple caches that may contain different copies of the same data item. Specifically, techniques are provided for coordinating the write-to-disk operations performed on such data items to ensure that older versions of the data item are not written over newer versions, and to reduce the amount of processing required to recover after a failure. Various approaches are provided in which a master is used to coordinate with the multiple caches to cause a data item to be written to persistent storage. Techniques are also provided for managing checkpoints associated with the caches, where the checkpoints are used to determine the position at which to begin processing recovery logs in the event of a failure.
