一、 背景
前些天晚上突然收到业务反馈，查询DB中的一个表报错
Could not open file "pg-xact/005E": No such file or directory.
两眼一黑难道是文件损坏了...登录查看DB日志，还好没有其他报错，业务也反馈只有这一个表在从库查询报错，主库正常，于是开始分析处理。
二、 解决方法
根据搜索结果看，这个问题基本就两种处理方法，这里先列出来。
1. 数据库恢复
如果数据库小，或者对数据一致性要求高，建议的方法还是进行恢复，因为方法二实际对数据一致性是有损的。
2. 新建全0文件
报错是文件没了，所以解决方法是手动建回去（记得先确认权限）
#postgres用户执行
dd if=/dev/zero of=$PGDATA/pg_xact/005E bs=256k count=1
chmod 600 $PGDATA/pg_xact/005E风险
clog存事务的最终状态信息，就是这个事务最终是提交了还是回滚了，建一个空的文件，相当于文件里的事务不知道它提交还是回滚了，理论上会出现数据不一致。
为什么这里建全0文件可以修复，从源码中可以看到，CLOG的日志段创建函数如下：
/** This func must be called ONCE on system install. It creates* the initial CLOG segment. (The CLOG directory is assumed to* have been created by initdb, and CLOGShmemInit must have been* called already.)*/
void
BootStrapCLOG(void)
{int slotno;LWLockAcquire(XactSLRULock, LW_EXCLUSIVE);/* Create and zero the first page of the commit log */slotno = ZeroCLOGPage(0, false);/* Make sure it's written out */SimpleLruWritePage(XactCtl, slotno);Assert(!XactCtl->shared->page_dirty[slotno]);LWLockRelease(XactSLRULock);
}主要为两个函数：
- ZeroCLOGPage函数：将该可用缓冲区初始化为全0
- SimpleLruWritePage函数：会再调用SlruInternalWritePage函数将页由缓冲区写入磁盘
三、 CLOG是什么

2. CLOG如何删除
报错是clog没了，所以这里再学习一下CLOG的删除原理
- TruncateCLOG函数：调用WriteTruncateXlogRec删除过期的CLOG
- 是否过期根据当前数据库中最旧事务id oldestXact判断
/** Remove all CLOG segments before the one holding the passed transaction ID** Before removing any CLOG data, we must flush XLOG to disk, to ensure* that any recently-emitted FREEZE_PAGE records have reached disk; otherwise* a crash and restart might leave us with some unfrozen tuples referencing* removed CLOG data. We choose to emit a special TRUNCATE XLOG record too.* Replaying the deletion from XLOG is not critical, since the files could* just as well be removed later, but doing so prevents a long-running hot* standby server from acquiring an unreasonably bloated CLOG directory.** Since CLOG segments hold a large number of transactions, the opportunity to* actually remove a segment is fairly rare, and so it seems best not to do* the XLOG flush unless we have confirmed that there is a removable segment.*/
void
TruncateCLOG(TransactionId oldestXact, Oid oldestxid_datoid)
{int cutoffPage;/** The cutoff point is the start of the segment containing oldestXact. We* pass the *page* containing oldestXact to SimpleLruTruncate.*/cutoffPage = TransactionIdToPage(oldestXact);/* Check to see if there's any files that could be removed */if (!SlruScanDirectory(XactCtl, SlruScanDirCbReportPresence, &cutoffPage))return; /* nothing to remove *//** Advance oldestClogXid before truncating clog, so concurrent xact status* lookups can ensure they don't attempt to access truncated-away clog.** It's only necessary to do this if we will actually truncate away clog* pages.*/AdvanceOldestClogXid(oldestXact);/** Write XLOG record and flush XLOG to disk. We record the oldest xid* we're keeping information about here so we can ensure that it's always* ahead of clog truncation in case we crash, and so a standby finds out* the new valid xid before the next checkpoint.*/WriteTruncateXlogRec(cutoffPage, oldestXact, oldestxid_datoid);/* Now we can remove the old CLOG segment(s) */SimpleLruTruncate(XactCtl, cutoffPage);
}- AdvanceOldestClogXid函数：对比 clog中的事务id 与 当前数据库最旧事务id oldestXact，如果clog中的更旧，将其更新为oldestXact，避免后续并发事务访问到已被清理的clog。
/** Advance the cluster-wide value for the oldest valid clog entry.** We must acquire XactTruncationLock to advance the oldestClogXid. It's not* necessary to hold the lock during the actual clog truncation, only when we* advance the limit, as code looking up arbitrary xids is required to hold* XactTruncationLock from when it tests oldestClogXid through to when it* completes the clog lookup.*/
void
AdvanceOldestClogXid(TransactionId oldest_datfrozenxid)
{LWLockAcquire(XactTruncationLock, LW_EXCLUSIVE);if (TransactionIdPrecedes(ShmemVariableCache->oldestClogXid,oldest_datfrozenxid)){ShmemVariableCache->oldestClogXid = oldest_datfrozenxid;}LWLockRelease(XactTruncationLock);
}四、 遗留问题
这个报错为什么会突然出现，目前还没查到相关资料
1. 现场情况
- 报错PG版本为10.5，从库查询报错，主库不报错
- 报错中要找的clog为005E，txid为 99185979
- 报错数据库最旧的clog为0269，并且已经是两个月前的
- 报错数据库当前txid为 9436969370，远远大于报错的
一个小补充：为什么查出来的txid是94亿多，远远大于了42亿，实际上txid的计算有一个转换，转完之后大概是8亿多。
select (txid_current() % (2^32)::bigint)::text::xid;- 当时数据库中最老的表年龄大概是1.9亿，并且不是报错的这个表
2. 一些猜测
从现场情况来看，005E文件应该是PG正常删除，而非误删或文件系统损坏导致不可访问。
奇怪的是为什么查询该表会访问这么旧的文件，从事务年龄来看，这不应该是个正常的访问，比较怀疑还是遇到了bug。
