vbr -t replicate requires REBALANCE

Hi,

That's weird. What version of Vertica is this? Are both clusters using the same version? Can you post the output of:

SELECT export_objects('', 'table_schema.table_name');

From both the source and the target?

**CLUSTER 1
**
dbadmin=> select version();

version

Vertica Analytic Database V10.0.1-3

dbadmin=> CREATE TABLE test (id number);
CREATE TABLE
dbadmin=> insert into test values (1);

OUTPUT

1

dbadmin=>commit;
COMMIT
dbadmin=>select * from test;

id

1

dbadmin=>select export_objects('','test');

export objects

CREATE TABLE public.test
(
id numeric(38,0)
);

CREATE PROJECTION public.test /+createtype(L)/
(
id
)
AS
SELECT test.id
FROM public.test
ORDER BY test.id
SEGMENTED BY hash(test.id) ALL NODES KSAFE 1;

SELECT MARK_DESIGN_KSAFE(1);

dbadmin=> select table_name,separated_percent,transferred_percent from rebalance_status where table_name='test';
table_name | separated_percent | transferred_percent
-----------+-------------------+--------------------
(0 rows)

vbr -t replicate -c clone_TEST.ini --debug 3

**CLUSTER 2
**
dbadmin=> select version();

version

Vertica Analytic Database V10.0.1-3

dbadmin=>select * from test;

id

1

dbadmin=>select export_objects('','test');

export objects

CREATE TABLE public.test
(
id numeric(38,0)
);

CREATE PROJECTION public.test /+createtype(L)/
(
id
)
AS
SELECT test.id
FROM public.test
ORDER BY test.id
SEGMENTED BY hash(test.id) ALL NODES KSAFE 1;

SELECT MARK_DESIGN_KSAFE(1);

dbadmin=> select table_name,separated_percent,transferred_percent from rebalance_status where table_name='test';
table_name | separated_percent | transferred_percent
-----------+-------------------+--------------------
test | 0.00| 0.00
(1 row)

After you ran vbr replicate, you did not run rebalance right? Still we can see one row from your test table right?

Right, after I replicate the table I see a record in REBALANCE_STATUS (in cluster 1 I don't see since it was created in that cluster)

Can you share me the output of the following and attach the vbr log? I see that you ran it debug 3 option

select * from rebalance_status where table_name='test';

Hi SruthiA,

dbadmin=> select * from rebalance_status where table_name='test';
table_schema | table_name | separated_percent | transferred_percent | TABLE_SIZE_GB
-------------+------------+-------------------+---------------------+--------------
public | test | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0

I meant vbr log file for the replicate you have run.. It should be present in /tmp/vbr.

Is there anything specific I should look for? this is closed site so I can't attach the log.
Also I don't see any errors there.

Thanks.

Hi Jim,

@lybhrwn742 - I tested replication using Vertica 10.0.1-3 between two three node clusters. I did not see any requirements for rebalancing on the target DB.

Can you run the following commands on both of your clusters?

SELECT get_node_dependencies();
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM projections WHERE NOT is_up_to_date;

Thanks!
