Bug: Ice3.5 server fails to parse script/share data from DB

Reported by: jamoore Owned by: jamoore
Priority: critical Milestone: OMERO-4.4.9
Component: Deployment Version: 4.4.8
Keywords: ice, binary, version Cc: pwalczysko, rleigh, spli, sbesson, jburel, wmoore, mtbcarroll, bpindelski, hflynn

Sprint: Blocker 4.4.9 (1)

Description

See:

Based on the testing in the spreadsheet, Ice 3.5 servers seem to be having issues parsing the Ice params stored in the database. When a server first parses a script, it uses the available Ice jars to serialize the data and store it as a byte array in Postgres. A later server version must be able with *its* Ice version to deserialize that data. Hopefully it will suffice to set some protocol version setting on the Ice.Communicator which is used to perform the deser.

Note: at the same time, it may make sense to configure all Communicators to use the same protocol, or provide fall back semantics.

Why are we storing this state in the database? Can't we discover this stuff dynamically at server start or on first use of the scripts after server (re)start? If we store it in the db, can this state get out of sync if the script is updated?

comment:2 Changed 11 years ago by jamoore

The state can't get out of sync since it's checksum'ed against the file, but assuming all the scripts execute fairly quickly and there aren't too many, then you're right: we could re-calculate on start and cache the results to disk.

comment:3 Changed 11 years ago by rleigh

If we're storing a checksum, could we store "$checksum$icever" instead? This would force automatic recalculation on ice version changes.

I have a smallish fix for one possible corner case, but by and large I haven't been able to reproduce the "No processor" errors that were seen during testing. (Anyone have an idea?) My guess is that Ice does a pretty good job of handling 1.0 version when at 1.1. However, I think there's no way for Ice to handle 1.1 version at 1.0.

In other words, once you've upgraded to Ice 3.5 you're likely to be stuck there for the moment. Any thoughts on that as a general proposal?

A more complete ticket for scripts will be as, Roger proposed, not storing them in the DB at all. For the shares, however, that won't suffice.

Replying to jamoore:

Are you definitely using the correct version of the ice binaries?

comment:10 Changed 11 years ago by jamoore

Yes, this is caused by 3.5 data being stored under var/ related to the icegridnode deployment. Then on dropping back down to Ice 3.4, those objects are invalid. In other words, "delete /var on downgrading" though I think the rule is quickly becoming, "no downgrading" if not "no mixing versions, period".

comment:11 Changed 11 years ago by jamoore

Or do I restrict all internal data parsing to the 1.0 version for the moment, and we can make this decision later?

comment:12 follow-up: Changed 11 years ago by spli

"No downgrading" sounds reasonable. Does anyone else support downgrading of anything?

comment:13 Changed 11 years ago by jamoore

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from accepted to closed

Added #11454 as a follow-up for the scripts. Closing this in favor of discussion on the PR.

Sorry, I missed this before closing, Simon. It's more than just "downgrading" in the sense of PostgreSQL. It means that an OMERO instance would never be able to be moved to a server with an Ice below 3.5. (And even with PG, you can dump to plain and re-import elsewhere, which we wouldn't be providing)

(In [9f28b4803b3d6a7412886b6f4b8c08803fa7866d/ome.git] on branch develop) Retry ShareData? parsing with 1.0 encoding (See #11322)

If the first attempt to parse ShareData? from the database
fails (i.e. produces null), then a second attempt is made
with an Ice.Communicator instance initialized with 1.0 as
the Ice.Default.EncodingVersion? value.

Note: Ice.EncodingVersion is not being used because it was
first introduced in 3.5 meaning that this code would not be
compilable with the other zeroc jars.
