v2.0.10
bd27909

This maintenance release fixes a regression caused by the new replay function with PostgreSQL 10. The unnested primary key was put in cartesian product with the
json elements generating NULL identifiers which made the subsequent format function to fail.

This release adds a workaround for decoding the keys in the mysql's json fields. This allows the sytem to replicate the json data type as well.

The command enable_replica fixes a race condition when the maintenance flag is not returned to false (e.g. an application crash during the maintenance run) allowing the replica to start again.

The tokeniser for the CHANGE statement now parses the tables in the form of schema.table. However the tokenised schema is not used to determine the
query's schema because the __read_replica_stream method uses the schema name pulled out from the mysql's binlog.

As this change requires a replica catalogue upgrade is very important to follow the upgrade instructions provided below.

  • If working via ssh is suggested to use screen or tmux for the upgrade
  • Stop all the replica processes with chameleon stop_all_replicas --config <your_config>
  • Take a backup of the schema sch_chameleon with pg_dump for good measure.
  • Install the upgrade with pip install pg_chameleon --upgrade
  • Check if the version is upgraded with chameleon --version
  • Upgrade the replica schema with the command chameleon upgrade_replica_schema --config <your_config>
  • Start all the replicas.

If the upgrade procedure refuses to upgrade the catalogue because of running or errored replicas is possible to reset the statuses using the command chameleon enable_replica --source <source_name>.

If the catalogue upgrade is still not possible downgrading pgchameleon to the previous version. E.g. pip install pg_chameleon==2.0.9 will make the replica startable again.

Changelog from v2.0.9

  • Fix regression in new replay function with PostgreSQL 10
  • Convert to string the dictionary entries pulled from a json field
  • Let enable_replica to disable any leftover maintenance flag
  • Add capture in CHANGE for tables in the form schema.table
