Review of database constraints in the stager schema

Purpose

Investigate which database constraints can be enforced in the current stager schema and track software failures when such constraints are applied.

Constraints are classified as FK and NOT NULL. A Class/ER Diagram of the stager schema can be found here.

Foreign keys

Color codes:

  • Blue for non-enforceable constraints by design
  • Red for currently non-enforceable constraints because of software bugs
  • Black for theoretically enforceable constraints, either as FKs or as triggers. To be then tested whether the software breaks
  • Green for enforced and working constraints

Relationship (n->1) Nullable Notes
SvcClass <-> DiskPool - n-n relationship, constraints enforced in the extra table
SvcClass -> FileClass Y To be implemented
MigrationRouting -> TapePool - Enforced from 2.1.12
MigrationRouting -> FileClass - Enforced from 2.1.12
*Request -> SvcClass Y Different requests exist as different entities. File requests should be merged, then a constraint can be enforced
*Request -> Client Y See above. The Client table could be merged with a new FileRequest table
StageDiskCopyReplicaRequest -> DiskCopy N  
SubRequest -> *Request - See above. Case of object inheritance mapped to a database schema...
SubRequest -> CastorFile Y The request is inserted by the Request handler without verification of the CastorFile. Trigger needed, link must be respected if status > 3
SubRequest -> DiskCopy Y Same as above + link established only on job oriented requests (get, put, update)
SubRequest -> SubRequest Y SR.parent relationship. Not null only if status = 5, requires refactoring of the stager without fillRep/Obj API
CastorFile -> FileClass N Enforced from 2.1.8-3
CastorFile -> SvcClass N Enforced from 2.1.8-3
DiskCopy -> CastorFile N Enforced from 2.1.8-3
DiskCopy -> FileSystem Y Diskcopies may exist which do not belong to any filesystem if in status 1, 2, 5. Trigger needed
FileSystem -> DiskServer N Enforced from 2.1.8-3
FileSystem -> DiskPool Y Should be dropped. See below
DiskServer -> DiskPool Y When a diskserver is inserted for the first time, it does not belong to any pool. A DS in status 0 MUST belong to a pool. Trigger/check constraint needed
RecallJob -> CastorFile N Enforced from 2.1.13
RecallJob -> RecallMount N Enforced from 2.1.13
RecallMount -> RecallGroup N Enforced from 2.1.13
RecallUser -> RecallGroup N Enforced from 2.1.13
MigrationMount -> TapePool N Enforced from 2.1.12
MigrationJob -> MigrationMount N Enforced from 2.1.13
MigrationJob -> TapePool N Enforced from 2.1.12
MigrationJob -> CastorFile N Enforced from 2.1.12
MigratedSegment -> CastorFile N Enforced from 2.1.12
WhiteList -> SvcClass - Case of svcClass = '*' in the B/W list
BlackList -> SvcClass - Same as above
FileSystemsToCheck -> FileSystem N  
Accounting -> DiskPool N  
!SvcClass -> GcPolicy N Precisely, SvcClass.gcPolicy -> GcPolicy.name. A SvcClass must have a gcPolicy. Enforced from 2.1.13
DrainingFS -> FileSystem N  
DrainingFS -> SvcClass N  
DrainingDCS -> FileSystem N  

Not null

NOT NULL constraints are relevant on indexed fields. A current snapshot of all existing indexes follows (to be cleaned up yet).
