Robert Haas	8dfd312902	pg_verifybackup: Verify tar-format backups. This also works for compressed tar-format backups. However, -n must be used, because we use pg_waldump to verify WAL, and it doesn't yet know how to verify WAL that is stored inside of a tarfile. Amul Sul, reviewed by Sravan Kumar and by me, and revised by me.	1 year ago
Robert Haas	aafc07c7a1	Move src/bin/pg_verifybackup/parse_manifest.c into src/common. This makes it possible for the code to be easily reused by other client-side tools, and/or by the server. Patch by me. Review of this patch in particular by at least Peter Eisentraut; reviewers for the patch series in general include Dilip Kumar, Andres Fruend, David Steele, Álvaro Herrera, and Jakub Wartak.

Peter Eisentraut	721856ff24	Remove distprep A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and man documentation. We have done this consistent with established practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a convenience to users. Now this has at least two problems: One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot, for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball. This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way. Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible. The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains what is in the git tree (). Getting the additional build dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we want to get the meson build system working universally. This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep anymore. () - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now. The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an alias to make distprep. (In practice, it is probably obsolete given that git clean is available.)

Robert Haas	7cf085f077	Add support for zstd base backup compression. Both client-side compression and server-side compression are now supported for zstd. In addition, a backup compressed by the server using zstd can now be decompressed by the client in order to accommodate the use of -Fp. Jeevan Ladhe, with some edits by me.

Robert Haas	dab298471f	Add suport for server-side LZ4 base backup compression. LZ4 compression can be a lot faster than gzip compression, so users may prefer it even if the compression ratio is not as good. We will want pg_basebackup to support LZ4 compression and decompression on the client side as well, and there is a pending patch for that, but it's by a different author, so I am committing this part separately for that reason. Jeevan Ladhe, reviewed by Tushar Ahuja and by me. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CANm22Cg9cArXEaYgHVZhCnzPLfqXCZLAzjwTq7Fc0quXRPfbxA@mail.gmail.com	4 years ago
Robert Haas	0ad8032910	Server-side gzip compression. pg_basebackup's --compression option now lets you write either "client-gzip" or "server-gzip" instead of just "gzip" to specify where the compression should be performed. If you write simply "gzip" it's taken to mean "client-gzip" unless you also use --target, in which case it is interpreted to mean "server-gzip", because that's the only thing that makes any sense in that case. To make this work, the BASE_BACKUP command now takes new COMPRESSION and COMPRESSION_LEVEL options. At present, pg_basebackup cannot decompress .gz files, so server-side compression will cause a failure if (1) -Ft is not used or (2) -R is used or (3) -D- is used without --no-manifest. Along the way, I removed the information message added by commit `5c649fe153` which occurred if you specified no compression level and told you that the default level had been used instead. That seemed like more output than most people would want. Also along the way, this adds a check to the server for unrecognized base backup options. This repairs a bug introduced by commit `0ba281cb4b`. This commit also adds some new test cases for pg_verifybackup. They take a server-side backup with and without compression, and then extract the backup if we have the OS facilities available to do so, and then run pg_verifybackup on the extracted directory. That is a good test of the functionality added by this commit and also improves test coverage for the backup target patch (commit `3500ccc39b`) and for pg_verifybackup itself. Patch by me, with a bug fix by Jeevan Ladhe. The patch set of which this is a part has also had review and/or testing from Tushar Ahuja, Suraj Kharage, Dipesh Pandit, and Mark Dilger.

Robert Haas	dbc60c5593	Rename pg_validatebackup to pg_verifybackup. Also, use "verify" rather than "validate" to refer to the process being undertaken here. Per discussion, that is a more appropriate term.

Robert Haas	0d8c9c1210	Generate backup manifests for base backups, and validate them. A manifest is a JSON document which includes (1) the file name, size, last modification time, and an optional checksum for each file backed up, (2) timelines and LSNs for whatever WAL will need to be replayed to make the backup consistent, and (3) a checksum for the manifest itself. By default, we use CRC-32C when checksumming data files, because we are trying to detect corruption and user error, not foil an adversary. However, pg_basebackup and the server-side BASE_BACKUP command now have options to select a different algorithm, so users wanting a cryptographic hash function can select SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512. Users not wanting file checksums at all can disable them, or disable generating of the backup manifest altogether. Using a cryptographic hash function in place of CRC-32C consumes significantly more CPU cycles, which may slow down backups in some cases. A new tool called pg_validatebackup can validate a backup against the manifest. If no checksums are present, it can still check that the right files exist and that they have the expected sizes. If checksums are present, it can also verify that each file has the expected checksum. Additionally, it calls pg_waldump to verify that the expected WAL files are present and parseable. Only plain format backups can be validated directly, but tar format backups can be validated after extracting them.
