A PostgreSQL logical decoder output plugin to deliver data as Protocol Buffers, adapted for Debezium
This code depends on the following libraries and requires them for compilation:
postgres-decoderbufs
has to be built from source after installing required dependencies. The required dependencies are first PostgreSQL (for pg_config), PostgreSQL server development packages, protobuf-c for the Protocol Buffer support and some PostGIS development packages.
# Core build utilities apt-get update && apt-get install -f -y software-properties-common build-essential pkg-config git postgresql-server-dev-9.6 # PostGIS dependency apt-get install -f -y libproj-dev liblwgeom-dev # Protobuf-c dependency (requires a non-stable Debian repo) add-apt-repository "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib" && apt-get update apt-get install -y libprotobuf-c-dev=1.2.1-1+b1
When updating the ProtoBuf definition, also install the ProtoBuf C compiler:
apt-get install -y protobuf-c-compiler=1.2.*
The above are taken from the Debezium container images.
Other Linux distributionsYou just need to make sure the above software packages (or some flavour thereof) are installed for your distro. Note that the last step from the above sequence is only required for Debian to be able to install libprotobuf-c-dev:1.2.1
If you have all of the above prerequisites installed, clone this git repo to build from source:
git clone https://github.com/debezium/postgres-decoderbufs.git cd postgres-decoderbufsOptional: Re-generating ProtoBuf code
This is only needed after changes to the ProtoBuf definition (_proto/pg_logicaldec.proto):
cd proto protoc-c --c_out=../src/proto pg_logicaldec.proto cd ..
Commit the generated files to git then.
Building and installing decoderbufsIf you have multiple Postgres versions installed, you can select which version to install decoderbufs into by altering your $PATH
to point to the right version. Then make
and make install
for each version. Here is an example:
# Install for Postgres 9.6 if I have multiple local versions export PATH=/usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/bin:$PATH make make install
Once the extension has been installed you just need to enable it and logical replication in postgresql.conf:
# MODULES shared_preload_libraries = 'decoderbufs' # REPLICATION wal_level = logical # minimal, archive, hot_standby, or logical (change requires restart) max_wal_senders = 8 # max number of walsender processes (change requires restart) wal_keep_segments = 4 # in logfile segments, 16MB each; 0 disables #wal_sender_timeout = 60s # in milliseconds; 0 disables max_replication_slots = 4 # max number of replication slots (change requires restart)
In addition, permissions will have to be added for the user that connects to the DB to be able to replicate. This can be modified in pg_hba.conf like so:
local replication <youruser> trust host replication <youruser> 127.0.0.1/32 trust host replication <youruser> ::1/128 trust
And restart PostgreSQL.
-- can use SQL for demo purposes select * from pg_create_logical_replication_slot('decoderbufs_demo', 'decoderbufs'); -- DO SOME TABLE MODIFICATIONS (see below about UPDATE/DELETE) -- peek at WAL changes using decoderbufs debug mode for SQL console select data from pg_logical_slot_peek_changes('decoderbufs_demo', NULL, NULL, 'debug-mode', '1'); -- get WAL changes using decoderbufs to update the WAL position select data from pg_logical_slot_get_changes('decoderbufs_demo', NULL, NULL, 'debug-mode', '1'); -- check the WAL position of logical replicators select * from pg_replication_slots where slot_type = 'logical';
If you're performing an UPDATE/DELETE on your table and you don't see results for those operations from logical decoding, make sure you have set REPLICA IDENTITY appropriately for your use case.
The binary format will be consumed by the Debezium Postgres Connector.
The following table shows how current PostgreSQL type OIDs are mapped to which decoderbuf fields:
