In a write operation, if WAL is written successfully but memtable is written unsuccessfully, will this lead to data inconsistency?
If a memtable write fails, LevelDB returns an error status to the caller, indicating that the write operation was unsuccessful.
However, the WAL still retains records of these operations. When the database is restored, these records will be reapplied to the MemTable, resulting in inconsistent data.
// Add to log and apply to memtable. We can release the lock// during this phase since &w is currently responsible for logging// and protects against concurrent loggers and concurrent writes// into mem_.
{
mutex_.Unlock();
status = log_->AddRecord(WriteBatchInternal::Contents(write_batch));
bool sync_error = false;
if (status.ok() && options.sync) {
status = logfile_->Sync();
if (!status.ok()) {
sync_error = true;
}
}
if (status.ok()) {
status = WriteBatchInternal::InsertInto(write_batch, mem_);
}
mutex_.Lock();
if (sync_error) {
// The state of the log file is indeterminate: the log record we// just added may or may not show up when the DB is re-opened.// So we force the DB into a mode where all future writes fail.RecordBackgroundError(status);
}
}
Or did I misunderstand? Can anyone help explain this, thank you very much.
