PostgreSQL 从文件系统恢复遗失的UNLOGGED table's datafile.

PostgreSQL的unlogged table是不记录xlog的,所以在备库上没有unlogged table的数据记录。
另一方面,当数据库异常crash时,数据库重启后需要从WAL恢复,由于unlogged table不记录WAL,为了保证数据的一致性,postgresql会自动清除unlogged table的数据文件。
那么问题来了,万一你不小心误创建了unlogged table,你可能一开始会没有感知,但是一旦发生以下情况,你会发现数据不见了。
1. 数据库crash掉之后,重启。
2. 主备切换,备库变成主库,主库变成备库。
以上两种情况,都是数据库在启动并进入recovery状态后,原来主库下的unlogged table的datafile都会被清空。

那么问题来了,如果真的这样了,有办法恢复吗?
1. 首先,如果你在原来的主库上有基础备份,你可以从基础备份恢复。为什么需要主库的备份呢,因为备库上没有unlogged table的数据文件内容,所以在备库备份是备不到unlogged table的datafile的。
但是这种恢复方法也务必要小心,你需要在启动数据库前,先把_init的文件都删掉,这样启动数据库时数据文件就不会被清除。
2. 从主库的逻辑备份中恢复。
3. 从审计日志中回放SQL恢复。
4. 如果你没有主库的基础备份,那么可有从文件系统中去恢复删掉的数据文件。例如ext4文件系统的恢复方式如下:
http://blog.163.com/digoal@126/blog/static/16387704020142124032866/
例子:
创建一个unlogged table,并记录它的filenode
postgres=# create unlogged table utbl1(id int);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into utbl1 select generate_series(1,1000);
INSERT 0 1000
postgres=# select pg_relation_filepath('utbl1'::regclass);
 pg_relation_filepath 
----------------------
 base/151898/33822
(1 row)
查看到PG对unlogged table做了_init的后缀标记
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/storage-init.html
postgres@digoal-> cd $PGDATA
postgres@digoal-> ll base/151898/33822*
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 40K Sep 26 11:39 base/151898/33822
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 24K Sep 26 11:39 base/151898/33822_fsm
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres   0 Sep 26 11:38 base/151898/33822_init
现在,我们进入恢复模式
postgres@digoal-> mv recovery.done recovery.conf
postgres@digoal-> pg_ctl start
数据库启动后,其实已经将unlogged table的数据文件清理掉了,见前面的源码。
postgres=# select count(*) from utbl1 ;
ERROR:  cannot access temporary or unlogged relations during recovery
现在再起来,unlogged table就没有数据了。
postgres@digoal-> mv recovery.conf recovery.done
postgres@digoal-> pg_ctl start
postgres=# select count(*) from utbl1 ;
 count 
-------
     0
(1 row)

恢复过程,先停库,然后umount数据文件所在的文件系统。
pg_ctl stop -m fast
root@digoal-> umount /data01
假设我已经安装了extundelete

我们的数据文件在pg_root_1921目录下,对应的inode=131073,根据这个inode继续查询下一级目录的inode
root@digoal-> ./extundelete --ls --inode 2 /dev/mapper/vgdata01-lv01 --inode 131073
找到了base的inode
base                                              131077
继续找,找到了unlogged table所在的database的inode
root@digoal-> ./extundelete --ls --inode 2 /dev/mapper/vgdata01-lv01 --inode 131077
151898        
                                    131078
继续找,找对应的_init文件,找到了它的前缀,根据前缀过滤

33822_init                                        131152

33822_init                                        131152
使用inode恢复,恢复删除的datafile
root@digoal-> ./extundelete --ls --inode 2 /dev/mapper/vgdata01-lv01 --restore-inode 131116
恢复后放在这里
root@digoal->  ll RECOVERED_FILES/ 
total 40K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40K Sep 26 13:50 file.131116
将文件拷贝到原来的位置
root@digoal-> mount /data01
root@digoal-> cp file.131116 /data01/pg_root_1921/base/151898/33822
root@digoal-> chown -R postgres:postgres /data01/
root@digoal-> su - postgres
启动数据库前,切记,删除_init后缀的文件,否则数据文件可能又会被清理掉。
cd $PGDATA
postgres@digoal-> rm -f base/151898/33822_init 
启动数据库,数据已经回来了。
postgres@digoal-> pg_ctl start
postgres=# select count(*) from utbl1 ;
 count 
-------
  1000
(1 row)

大家千万要切记,不要滥用unlogged table,除非你可以为你的行为负责。
hash index也是这样,因为不写XLOG,所以如果你使用流复制来实施HA的话,在切换到备库后,如果走hash index scan,你会发现数据凭空"消失",实际上是因为hash index的变更没有复制过去的原因。所以就不要使用hash index了吧。
