Background & Impact

Roadmap towards ARIESIn mid-80s IBMs focus is on building a brand new relational DBMS with extensibilityBy that time DB2/MVS RDBMS used WAL (write ahead logging) for recoverySQL/DS used shadow paging for recovery

But researches were unable to producing a recovery method that supported fine-granularity. They used page as the smallest granularity of lockingThe original ARIES work, which was done in the mid-80s and publicly documented in a research report form in 19894

Recovery MethodsRecovery Methods

Shadow PagingWrite Ahead Logging (WAL)

5

Write Ahead Logging (WAL)The Atomic Rule: The log entry for an insert, update or delete must be written to disk before the change is made to the DBThe Durability Rule: All log entries for a transaction must be written to disk before the commit record is written to disk

In WAL Systems updated page is written back to the same disk location from which it was read.Each log record is assigned, a unique log sequence number (LSN) at the time the record is written to the logThe LSN of the log record corresponding to the latest update to the page is placed in a field in the page header

Ex: All Log Record [prevLSN, TaID, type]Ex: Update Log Record [PrevLSN, TaID, update, pageID, redo info, undo info]

6

Shadow Paging First time a (logical) page is modified after a checkpoint and new physical page is associated with it on disk. Later the page (the current version) is written to disk and it is written to the new locationThe old physical page (the shadow version) associated with the (logical) page is not discarded until the next checkpointRestart recovery occurs from the shadow version of the pageOnce all the modified pages in the buffer pool & logs are written to disk , shadow version is discarded

Disadvantages:Checkpoints tend to be very expensive and disruptive

The ARIES Family of AlgorithmsARIES algorithms support:High concurrency via fine-granularity lockingOperation loggingEfficient recoveryFlexible storageBuffer management

ARIES relate to:Nested transactionsIndex managementHashingFast restart recoveryQuery processing and concurrency control

ARIES -Restart RecoveryARIES recovery involves three passesAnalysis pass: Determine which transactions to undoDetermine which pages were dirty (disk version not up to date) at time of crashRedoLSN: LSN from which redo should startRedo pass:Repeats history, redoing all actions from RedoLSN RecLSN and PageLSNs are used to avoid redoing actions already reflected on page Undo pass:Rolls back all incomplete transactionsTransactions whose abort was complete earlier are not undone13

Analysis Phase: AlgorithmFind the most recent begin_checkpoint log record.

Initialize transaction & dirty page tables from the ones saved in the most recent checkpoint.

Scan forward the records from begin_checkpoint log record to the end of the log. For each log record LSN, update trans_tab and dirty_page_tab as follows: If we see an end log record for T, remove T from trans_tab.If we see a log record for T not in trans_tab, add T in trans_tab. If T is in the trans_tab, then set Ts lastLSN field to LSN.If we see an update/CLR log record for page P and P is not in the dirty page table, add P in dirty page table and set its recLSN to LSN.15

After system crash, both table are lost.No previous checkpointing, initialize tables to empty.

Redo Phase: AlgorithmScan forward from the redo point (LSN 00).

For each update/CLR-undo log record LSN, perform redo unless one of the conditions holds:The affected page is not in the dirty page tableIt is not dirty. So no need to redo.The affected page is in the dirty page table, but recLSN > LSN.The pages recLSN (oldest log record causing this page to be dirty) is after LSN.pageLSN >= LSNA later update on this page has been written (pageLSN = the most recent LSN to update the page on disk).22

Scan forward from the redo point (LSN 00).Assume that P600 has been written to disk.But it can still be in the dirty page table.Scanning 00:P500 is in the dirty page table.00(recLSN) = 00 (LSN)-10 (pageLSN) < 00 (LSN)Redo 00Scanning 10:

Undo Phase: AlgorithmIt scans backward in time from the end of the log.

It needs to undo all actions from active (not committed) transactions. They are also called loser transactions.Same as aborting them.

Analysis phase gives the set of loser transactions, called ToUndo set.

Repeatedly choose the record with the largest LSN value in this set and processes it, until ToUndo is empty.If it is a CLR and undoNextLSN value is not null, use undoNextLSN value in ToUndo. If undoNextLSN is null, this transaction is completely undo.If it is an update record, a CLR is written and restore the data record value to before-image. Use prevLSN value in ToUndo.25

Undo Phase: Example (1)LSNTransIDTypePageID00T1000updateP50010T2000updateP600 (disk)20T2000updateP50030T1000updateP50540T2000commitSystem Crash

The only loser transaction is T1000.ToUndo set is {T1000:30}
