在使用数据库时，某些特定的因素结合在一起，就可能引发蝴蝶效应。
导致数据库性能的急剧下降。
本文要讲的是和以下几个因素有关的：
因素1
PG的锁排队机制，即使没有获得锁，只要在锁队列中就会造成锁竞争。
session A lock1 get
session B lock2 wait lock1 release
session C lock3 可能和lock1, lock2 冲突
session D lock4 可能和lock1,2,3 冲突
因素2
SQL响应变慢后，服务端程序通常会增加到数据库的连接来处理拥塞的请求
因素3
数据库的性能会随着连接数增加到一个值（通常是核数的3倍）后，性能开始下降
因素4
对象锁在事务结束时释放
例如在事务中查询表时，表的共享锁需要等到事务结束时释放。
以上4个因素加在一起，就可能引发一次应用级别的故障。
模拟
开启lock跟踪：
log_lock_waits = on
deadlock_timeout = 1s
创建测试表
postgres=# create table test(id int primary key, info text, crt_time timestamp);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into test select generate_series(1,10000000),md5(random()::text),clock_timestamp();
INSERT 0 10000000
测试脚本
vi test1.sql
\setrandom id 1 10000000
update test set info=info where id=:id;
.1. pgbench1 模拟数据更新A。使用10个链接（假设正常只需要10个）
正常的性能
pgbench -M prepared -n -r -P 1 -f ./test1.sql -c 10 -j 10 -T 10
progress: 2.0 s, 65994.3 tps, lat 0.149 ms stddev 0.038
progress: 3.0 s, 67706.5 tps, lat 0.145 ms stddev 0.051
progress: 4.0 s, 72865.0 tps, lat 0.135 ms stddev 0.048
progress: 5.0 s, 77664.2 tps, lat 0.126 ms stddev 0.032
progress: 6.0 s, 77138.9 tps, lat 0.127 ms stddev 0.037
progress: 7.0 s, 75941.3 tps, lat 0.129 ms stddev 0.061
progress: 8.0 s, 77328.8 tps, lat 0.127 ms stddev 0.036
开启长时间更新请求
pgbench -M prepared -n -r -P 1 -f ./test1.sql -c 10 -j 10 -T 10000
.2. 模拟一个查询长事务，查询表A
也可能是后台的whole vacuum prevent wrapper
postgres=# begin;
BEGIN
postgres=# select * from test limit 1;
id | info | crt_time
----+----------------------------------+----------------------------
1 | e86e219d51c39d16f78d77cf697395ca | 2016-03-16 16:07:49.814487
(1 row)
暂不结束事务, 持有test表的shared lock.
.3. 模拟一个DDL请求A
postgres=# alter table test add column c1 int;
等待test shared lock锁释放
马上会堵塞正常的业务请求，tps降到0
progress: 53.0 s, 0.0 tps, lat -nan ms stddev -nan
progress: 54.0 s, 0.0 tps, lat -nan ms stddev -nan
progress: 55.0 s, 0.0 tps, lat -nan ms stddev -nan
progress: 56.0 s, 0.0 tps, lat -nan ms stddev -nan
progress: 57.0 s, 0.0 tps, lat -nan ms stddev -nan
progress: 58.0 s, 0.0 tps, lat -nan ms stddev -nan
progress: 59.0 s, 0.0 tps, lat -nan ms stddev -nan
.4. 这个时候，业务并不知道数据库堵塞了，会增加更多的连接来处理用户的请求。甚至可能把连接塞满。
pgbench2 模拟拥塞更新A，新建500链接
pgbench -M prepared -n -r -P 1 -f ./test1.sql -c 500 -j 500 -T 10000
新增的连接会全部处于这样的状态:
digoal 25434 22068 0 16:21 ? 00:00:00 postgres: postgres postgres [local] PARSE waiting
digoal 25437 22068 0 16:21 ? 00:00:00 postgres: postgres postgres [local] PARSE waiting
.5. 结束长事务或结束DDL请求后，锁释放。
锁释放，大量并发的连接开始处理拥塞的请求
此时性能下降了一半

progress: 64.0 s, 750.1 tps, lat 13.338 ms stddev 17.745
将后建立的500个连接释放后，恢复正常的性能
progress: 66.0 s, 1937.8 tps, lat 5.044 ms stddev 12.975
progress: 67.0 s, 64995.8 tps, lat 0.157 ms stddev 0.757

日志
可以追踪到锁等待的源头，但是不能追踪到大锁。

要追踪大锁，
可以使用以下SQL
with t_wait as
(select a.mode,a.locktype,a.database,a.relation,a.page,a.tuple,a.classid,
a.objid,a.objsubid,a.pid,a.virtualtransaction,a.virtualxid,a,

t_run as
(select a.mode,a.locktype,a.database,a.relation,a.page,a.tuple,
a.classid,a.objid,a.objsubid,a.pid,a.virtualtransaction,a.virtualxid,

优化措施或处理措施
.1. 养成大锁处理习惯, 配置锁等待超时
.2. 应用程序或中间件应该有自动释放空闲连接的功能
.3. auto_explain也不会记录锁等待的时间，所以不利于分析原因。只有从日志中才能分析。
