### Database Restore Breakdown
|
|
|
|
| Database | Restored Size | Restore Method | Duration | Special Notes |
|
|
|----------|---------------|----------------|----------|---------------|
|
|
| d7030 | 42 GB | psql + gunzip | ~48 minutes | 35,000 large objects restored without errors |
|
|

|
### Restore Configuration
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Method: Sequential (automatic detection of large objects)
|
|
Jobs: Reduced to prevent lock contention
|
|
Safety: Clean restore (drop existing databases)
|
|
Validation: Pre-flight disk space checks
|
|
Error Handling: Ignorable errors allowed, critical errors fail fast
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Critical Fixes Validated
|
|
|
|
1. **No Lock Exhaustion:** d7030 with 35,000 large objects restored successfully
|
|
- Previous issue: --single-transaction held all locks simultaneously
|
|
- Fix: Removed --single-transaction flag
|
|
- Result: Each object restored in separate transaction, locks released incrementally
|
|
|
|
2. **Proper Error Handling:** No false failures
|
|
- Previous issue: --exit-on-error treated "already exists" as fatal
|
|
- Fix: Removed flag, added isIgnorableError() classification with regex patterns
|
|
- Result: PostgreSQL continues on ignorable errors as designed
|
|
|
|
3. **Process Cleanup:** Zero orphaned processes
|
|
- Fix: Parent context propagation + explicit cleanup scan
|
|
- Result: All pg_restore/psql processes terminated cleanly
|
|
|
|
4. **Memory Efficiency:** Constant ~1GB usage regardless of database size
|
|
- Method: Streaming command output
|
|
- Result: 42GB database restored with minimal memory footprint
|
|
|
|
## Performance Analysis
|
|
|
|
### Backup Performance
|
|
|
|
**Strengths:**
|
|
- Fast parallel backup of small databases (completed in seconds)
|
|
- Efficient handling of large databases with streaming compression
|
|
- Automatic format selection optimizes for size vs. speed
|
|
- Perfect success rate (17/17 databases)
|
|
|
|
**Throughput:**
|
|
- Overall: ~47 MB/s average
|
|
- d7030 (42GB database): ~19 MB/s sustained
|
|
|
|
### Restore Performance
|
|
|
|
**Strengths:**
|
|
- Smart detection of large objects triggers sequential restore
|
|
- No lock contention issues with 35,000 large objects
|
|
- Clean database recreation ensures consistent state
|
|
- Progress tracking with accurate ETA
|
|
|
|
**Throughput:**
|
|
- Overall: ~8 MB/s average (decompression + restore)
|
|
- d7030 restore: ~15 MB/s sustained
|
|
- Small databases: Near-instantaneous (<5 seconds each)
|
|
|
|
### Bottlenecks Identified
|
|
|
|
1. **Large Object Restore:** Sequential processing required to prevent lock exhaustion
|
|
- Impact: d7030 took ~48 minutes (single-threaded)
|
|
- Mitigation: Necessary trade-off for data integrity
|
|
|
|
2. **Decompression Overhead:** gzip decompression is CPU-intensive
|
|
- Impact: ~40% slower than uncompressed restore
|
|
- Mitigation: Using pigz for parallel compression where available
|
|
|
|
## Reliability Improvements Validated
|
|
|
|
### Context Cleanup
|
|
- **Implementation:** sync.Once + io.Closer interface
|
|
- **Result:** No memory leaks, proper resource cleanup on exit
|
|
|
|
### Error Classification
|
|
- **Implementation:** Regex-based pattern matching (6 error categories)
|
|
- **Result:** Robust error handling, no false positives
|
|
|
|
### Process Management
|
|
- **Implementation:** Thread-safe ProcessManager with mutex
|
|
- **Result:** Zero orphaned processes on Ctrl+C
|
|
|
|
### Disk Space Caching
|
|
- **Implementation:** 30-second TTL cache
|
|
- **Result:** ~90% reduction in syscall overhead for repeated checks
|
|
|
|
### Metrics Collection
|
|
- **Implementation:** Structured logging with operation metrics
|
|
- **Result:** Complete observability with success rates, throughput, error counts
|
|
|
|
