refactor: cleanup unused and redundant DLB settings
What does this MR do?
Related to #1375 (closed).
This change removes unused database load balancing settings that are
only targeted for phase 2, namely maxreplicalagtime
and
maxreplicalagbytes
. I added these in advance but now that I'm working
on exposing these settings in Charts I find it confusing/misleading to
have them already on the codebase and documentation. We can bring them
back when appropriate.
Additionally, it also removes mentions to the following settings:
-
disconnecttimeout
:database/sql#DB.Close
already performs a graceful shutdown (closing the handler immediately to prevent new query attempts and waiting for ongoing queries to complete before returning) and we can't control how long it waits for ongoing queries to finish (there is no context input). Until we find the need for something more restrictive (if ever), I think it's better to keep it simple and let the standard lib handle it. In the worst case scenario, ongoing queries will take up to the maximum query duration (configured on PgBouncer/Patroni/PostgreSQL) to complete (15s on .com). However, given that we're only performing the close after being unable to reach out to the corresponding replica, it's far more likely that no queries are in progress when we attempt the close and therefore it should complete immediately. Regardless, I've raised an issue so that we add a metric to track this elapsed time (#1376). -
recordcheckinterval
: I found this to be redundant as we already havereplicacheckinterval
and the latter is what we're using to determine how often we're going to refresh replicas (which in terms ends up poking the DNS record for the latest host records). So trying to keep it simple.

-
fix
: Indicates a bug fix, triggers a patch release. -
feat
: Signals the introduction of a new feature, triggers a minor release. -
perf
: Focuses on performance improvements that don't introduce new features or fix bugs, triggers a patch release. -
docs
: Updates or changes to documentation. Does not trigger a release. -
style
: Changes that do not affect the code's functionality. Does not trigger a release. -
refactor
: Modifications to the code that do not fix bugs or add features but improve code structure or readability. Does not trigger a release. -
test
: Changes related to adding or modifying tests. Does not trigger a release. -
chore
: Routine tasks that don't affect the application, such as updating build processes, package manager configs, etc. Does not trigger a release. -
build
: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies. May trigger a release. -

database changes including schema migrations:
-
Change does not introduce database changes - MR includes DB chagnes
- Do not include code that depends on the schema migrations in the same commit. Split the MR into two or more.
-
Manually run up and down migrations in a postgres.ai production database clone and post a screenshot of the result here. -
If adding new queries, extract a query plan from postgres.ai and post the link here. If changing existing queries, also extract a query plan for the current version for comparison. -
I do not have access to postgres.ai and have made a comment on this MR asking for these to be run on my behalf.

-
Ensured this change is safe to deploy to individual stages in the same environment ( cny
->prod
). State-related changes can be troublesome due to having parts of the fleet processing (possibly related) requests in different ways. -
If the change contains a breaking change, apply the breaking change label. -
If the change is considered high risk, apply the label high-risk-change - Changes cannot be rolled back
-
Change can be safelly rolled back - Change can't be safelly rolled back
-
Apply the label cannot-rollback. -
Add a section to the MR description that includes the following details: -
The reasoning behind why a release containing the presented MR can not be rolled back (e.g. schema migrations or changes to the FS structure) -
Detailed steps to revert/disable a feature introduced by the same change where a migration cannot be rolled back. (note: ideally MRs containing schema migrations should not contain feature changes.) -
Ensure this MR does not add code that depends on these changes that cannot be rolled back.

Reviewer checklist
-
Ensure the commit and MR tittle are still accurate. -
If the change contains a breaking change, verify the breaking change label. -
If the change is considered high risk, verify the label high-risk-change -
Identify if the change can be rolled back safely. (note: all other reasons for not being able to rollback will be sufficiently captured by major version changes).
