8 Binlog
InsertBinlog、DeleteBinlog、DDLBinlog
Binlog is stored in a columnar storage format, every column in schema is stored in an individual file. Timestamp, schema, row id and primary key allocated by system are four special columns. Schema column records the DDL of the collection.
Event format
Binlog file consists of 4 bytes magic number and a series of events. The first event must be descriptor event.
8.1 Event format
+=====================================+=====================================================================+
| event | Timestamp 0 : 8 | create timestamp |
| header +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | TypeCode 8 : 1 | event type code |
| +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | EventLength 9 : 4 | length of event, including header and data |
| +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | NextPosition 13 : 4 | offset of next event from the start of file |
+=====================================+=====================================================================+
| event | fixed part 17 : x | |
| data +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | variable part | |
+=====================================+=====================================================================+
8.2 Descriptor Event format
+=====================================+=====================================================================+
| event | Timestamp 0 : 8 | create timestamp |
| header +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | TypeCode 8 : 1 | event type code |
| +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | EventLength 9 : 4 | length of event, including header and data |
| +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | NextPosition 13 : 4 | offset of next event from the start of file |
+=====================================+=====================================================================+
| event | CollectionID 17 : 8 | collection id |
| data +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | PartitionID 25 : 8 | partition id (schema column does not need) |
| +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | SegmentID 33 : 8 | segment id (schema column does not need) |
| +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | FieldID 41 : 8 | field id (schema column does not need) |
| +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | StartTimestamp 49 : 8 | minimum timestamp allocated by master of all events in this file |
| +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | EndTimestamp 57 : 8 | maximum timestamp allocated by master of all events in this file |
| +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | PayloadDataType 65 : 4 | data type of payload |
| +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | ExtraLength 69 : 4 | length of extra information |
| +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | ExtraBytes 73 : n | extra information in json format |
| +----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | PostHeaderLengths n : n | header lengths for all event types |
+=====================================+=====================================================================|
ExtraBytes is in json format.
ExtraBytes stores the extra information of the binlog file.
In binlog file, we have stored many common fields in fixed part, such as CollectionID, PartitionID and etc.
However, different binlog files have some other different information which differs from each other.
So, ExtraBytes was designed to store these different information.
For example, for index binlog file, we will store indexID, indexBuildID, indexID and other index-related
information to ExtraBytes.
In addition, ExtraBytes was also designed to extend binlog. Then we can add new features to binlog file without
breaking the compatibility.
For example, we can store the memory size of original content(before encoding) to ExtraBytes.
The key in ExtraBytes is original_size. For now, original_size is required, not optional.
8.3 Type code
DESCRIPTOR_EVENT
INSERT_EVENT
DELETE_EVENT
CREATE_COLLECTION_EVENT
DROP_COLLECTION_EVENT
CREATE_PARTITION_EVENT
DROP_PARTITION_EVENT
DESCRIPTOR_EVENT must appear in all column files and always be the first event.
INSERT_EVENT 可以出现在除 DDL binlog 文件外的其他列的 binlog
DELETE_EVENT 只能用于 primary key 的 binlog 文件（目前只有按照 primary key 删除）
CREATE_COLLECTION_EVENT、DROP_COLLECTION_EVENT、CREATE_PARTITION_EVENT、DROP_PARTITION_EVENT 只出现在 DDL binlog 文件
8.4 Event data part
event data part
INSERT_EVENT:
+================================================+==========================================================+
| event | fixed | StartTimestamp x : 8 | min timestamp in this event |
| data | part +------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+
| | | EndTimestamp x+8 : 8 | max timestamp in this event |
| +--------+------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+
| |variable| parquet payload | payload in parquet format |
| |part | | |
+================================================+==========================================================+
other events are similar with INSERT_EVENT
8.5 Example
Schema
string | int | float(optional) | vector(512)
Request:
InsertRequest rows(1W)
DeleteRequest pk=1
DropPartition partitionTag="abc"
insert binlogs:
rowid, pk, ts, string, int, float, vector 6 files
all events are INSERT_EVENT float column file contains some NULL value
delete binlogs:
pk, ts 2 files
pk's events are DELETE_EVENT, ts's events are INSERT_EVENT
DDL binlogs:
ddl, ts
ddl's event is DROP_PARTITION_EVENT, ts's event is INSERT_EVENT
