mongodb4.0多文档事务尝鲜
文章目录
mongodb4.0也出来一段时间了,这个版本最为大众期待的特性就是支持了多文档事务(multi-document transaction),本文记录一下尝鲜该特性的过程。
mongodb多文档事务
In MongoDB, an operation on a single document is atomic. Because you can use embedded documents and arrays to capture relationships between data in a single document structure instead of normalizing across multiple documents and collections, this single-document atomicity obviates the need for multi-document transactions for many practical use cases.
However, for situations that require atomicity for updates to multiple documents or consistency between reads to multiple documents, MongoDB provides the ability to perform multi-document transactions against replica sets. Multi-document transactions can be used across multiple operations, collections, databases, and documents. Multi-document transactions provide an “all-or-nothing” proposition. When a transaction commits, all data changes made in the transaction are saved. If any operation in the transaction fails, the transaction aborts and all data changes made in the transaction are discarded without ever becoming visible. Until a transaction commits, no write operations in the transaction are visible outside the transaction.
在mongodb里,对于单个文档的操作本身是原子性的。而因为在mongodb里还可以采用嵌入式文档和数组来描述文档中的数据结构关系,所以这种单文档原子性基本消除了许多实际对多文档事务的需求。
在mongodb4.0里,对于副本集中的多文档,现在也有了一个机制用来原子性地更新多个文档,以保证读取多个文档的一致性。
看上去挺美好,不过官方文档也说了:
IMPORTANT
In most cases, multi-document transaction incurs a greater performance cost over single document writes, and the availability of multi-document transaction should not be a replacement for effective schema design. For many scenarios, the denormalized data model (embedded documents and arrays) will continue to be optimal for your data and use cases. That is, for many scenarios, modeling your data appropriately will minimize the need for multi-document transactions.
Multi-document transactions are available for replica sets only. Transactions for sharded clusters are scheduled for MongoDB 4.2
在大多数场景,多文档事务会产生较大的性能开销,所以合理的模式设计(嵌入式文档和数组)还是应该是最应该优先考虑的解决方案。
另外4.0版本仅支持复制集中的多文档事务,分片集群中的多文档事务将计划在4.2版本中实现。
虽然有以上这些限制,还再怎么说也多了多文档事务能力,比以前还是进步了的。
尝鲜步骤
安装mongodb4.0
macOS系统比较简单:
brew install mongodb
brew services start mongodb
设置复制集名称
参考mongodb的配置文件设置说明,修改其主配置文件
vim /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
......
# 这里添加复制集名称的选项
replication:
replSetName: rs0
brew services start mongodb
检查特性兼容版本
因为多文档事务功能是4.0版本新加的,所以要保证特性兼容版本大于等于4.0
mongo
> db.adminCommand( { getParameter: 1, featureCompatibilityVersion: 1 } )
> // 如果特性兼容版本小于4.0,则要设置为4.0
> db.adminCommand( { setFeatureCompatibilityVersion: "4.0" } )
> exit
初始化复制集
使用复制集的方法初始化复制集
mongo
> rs.initiate()
> rs.status()
> exit
运行多文档事务的例子
从这里拷贝多文档事务的例子,保存为test.js
test.js
// Runs the txnFunc and retries if TransientTransactionError encountered
function runTransactionWithRetry(txnFunc, session) {
while (true) {
try {
txnFunc(session); // performs transaction
break;
} catch (error) {
// If transient error, retry the whole transaction
if ( error.hasOwnProperty("errorLabels") && error.errorLabels.includes("TransientTransactionError") ) {
print("TransientTransactionError, retrying transaction ...");
continue;
} else {
throw error;
}
}
}
}
// Retries commit if UnknownTransactionCommitResult encountered
function commitWithRetry(session) {
while (true) {
try {
session.commitTransaction(); // Uses write concern set at transaction start.
print("Transaction committed.");
break;
} catch (error) {
// Can retry commit
if (error.hasOwnProperty("errorLabels") && error.errorLabels.includes("UnknownTransactionCommitResult") ) {
print("UnknownTransactionCommitResult, retrying commit operation ...");
continue;
} else {
print("Error during commit ...");
throw error;
}
}
}
}
// Updates two collections in a transactions
function updateEmployeeInfo(session) {
employeesCollection = session.getDatabase("hr").employees;
eventsCollection = session.getDatabase("reporting").events;
session.startTransaction( { readConcern: { level: "snapshot" }, writeConcern: { w: "majority" } } );
try{
employeesCollection.updateOne( { employee: 3 }, { $set: { status: "Inactive" } } );
eventsCollection.insertOne( { employee: 3, status: { new: "Inactive", old: "Active" } } );
} catch (error) {
print("Caught exception during transaction, aborting.");
session.abortTransaction();
throw error;
}
commitWithRetry(session);
}
// Start a session.
session = db.getMongo().startSession( { mode: "primary" } );
try{
runTransactionWithRetry(updateEmployeeInfo, session);
} catch (error) {
// Do something with error
} finally {
session.endSession();
}
在运行上述脚本前先创建好脚本依赖的databases及collections:
mongo
> use hr
> db.createCollection("employees");
> use reporting
> db.createCollection("events")
> exit
最后运行示例脚本
mongo
> load("test.js")
Transaction committed.
true
> exit
如果结果是上面那样,说明一切正常。
官方示例虽然写得复杂了一点,不过是考虑了重试运行事务、重试提交事务场景的,应该说考虑还是比较周全的,可以作为其它语言实现的参考。
多文档事务的限制
The following operations are not allowed in multi-document transactions:
Operations that affect the database catalog, such as creating or dropping a collection or an index. For example, a multi-document transaction cannot include an insert operation that would result in the creation of a new collection.
The
listCollections
andlistIndexes
commands and their helper methods are also excluded.Non-CRUD and non-informational operations, such as
createUser
,getParameter
,count
, etc. and their helpers.
说白了就是只支持对现有collections的增删查改操作及一些基本的信息查询操作,一般数据结构定义操作是不支持了。另外连 listCollections
, listIndexes
都不支持,如果真有需求,必须在事务外先查询保存起来,这点就比较变态了。
其它语言支持
java语言支持
mongodb的官方其实也提供了java语言的示例,不过在java领域还是spring框架用得比较多,spring-data
要比较新的版本才支持mongodb事务特性,文档见这里,也有示例代码。
go语言支持
mongodb社区版go语言驱动目前还没有支持mongodb4.0的多文档事务特性,看其开发计划,短期是不太可能支持了。
不过看mongodb官方go语言驱动的提交记录,好像前几天刚好实现了这个功能,赶紧模仿mongo-shell脚本写个go语言测试代码:
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"github.com/mongodb/mongo-go-driver/mongo"
"github.com/mongodb/mongo-go-driver/core/command"
"github.com/mongodb/mongo-go-driver/bson"
)
func main() {
client, err := mongo.Connect(context.Background(), "mongodb://localhost:27017", nil)
panicIfErr(err)
sess, err := client.StartSession()
panicIfErr(err)
defer sess.EndSession(context.Background())
runTransactionWithRetry(updateEmployeeInfo, client, sess)
}
// Runs the txnFunc and retries if TransientTransactionError encountered
func runTransactionWithRetry(txnFunc func(*mongo.Client, *mongo.Session) error, client *mongo.Client, sess *mongo.Session) error {
var err error
for
{
err = txnFunc(client, sess) // performs transaction
if err != nil {
if v, ok := err.(command.Error); ok {
if contains(v.Labels, command.TransientTransactionError) {
fmt.Println("TransientTransactionError, retrying transaction ...")
continue
}
}
return err
}
break
}
return nil
}
// Retries commit if UnknownTransactionCommitResult encountered
func commitWithRetry(sess *mongo.Session) error {
for
{
err := sess.CommitTransaction(context.Background()) // Uses write concern set at transaction start.
if err != nil {
if v, ok := err.(command.Error); ok {
if contains(v.Labels, command.UnknownTransactionCommitResult) {
fmt.Println("UnknownTransactionCommitResult, retrying commit operation ...")
continue
}
}
fmt.Println("Error during commit ...")
return err
}
fmt.Println("Transaction committed.")
break
}
return nil
}
// Updates two collections in a transactions
func updateEmployeeInfo(client *mongo.Client, sess *mongo.Session) error{
employeesCollection := client.Database("hr").Collection("employees")
eventsCollection := client.Database("reporting").Collection("events")
err := sess.StartTransaction()
if err != nil {
return err
}
_, err = employeesCollection.UpdateOne(context.Background(), bson.NewDocument(
bson.EC.Int32("employee", 3),
),bson.NewDocument(
bson.EC.SubDocumentFromElements("$set",
bson.EC.String("status", "Inactive"),
),
), sess)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Caught exception during transaction, aborting.")
sess.AbortTransaction(context.Background())
return err
}
_, err = eventsCollection.InsertOne(context.Background(), bson.NewDocument(
bson.EC.Int32("employee", 3),
bson.EC.SubDocumentFromElements("status",
bson.EC.String("new", "Inactive"),
bson.EC.String("old", "Active"),
),
), sess)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Caught exception during transaction, aborting.")
sess.AbortTransaction(context.Background())
return err
}
return commitWithRetry(sess)
}
func panicIfErr(err error) {
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
func contains(slice []string, item string) bool {
set := make(map[string]struct{}, len(slice))
for _, s := range slice {
set[s] = struct{}{}
}
_, ok := set[item]
return ok
}
果然是好使的,不过mongodb官方go语言驱动目前还未发正式版,现在还是第11个alpha版本,能否直接用于生产就很难说了。
