Description

First thanks for your great jobs for this application.

I have some problem when I try to connect SVN with Redmine.

Here is the infomation of my system:

CentOS 5
MySQL 5.0.45
ruby 1.8.5
Rails 2.2.2
Redmine r2521 (I also checked it with 0.8.0)
SVN 1.4.2

I've added a big SVN repository with 8k of revision and when I go to the repository tab, it show internal error after a long loading time.

I checked the log and it said

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (Mysql::Error: Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction: INSERT INTO `changesets`...

The details of the trace is in the attachment.

Then I googled this problem, and it said this problem happen because of the MySQL InnoDB Deadlock detection,

Here is the details
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-deadlock-detection.html

And here are some solutions
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-deadlocks.html

I think the InnoDB has a time limit and if a transaction exceed it, the transaction will be aborted and rollbacked.

They said the application should retry the transaction or devide it to some short transactions.

There is a switch to on/off the function, and both the switch and the limit time are defined as system variable of MySQL which can be confirmed like this:

mysql> show variables like 'inno%';

You can find innodb_lock_wait_timeout which is the time limit with a default value 50 (seconds), and innodb_table_locks is the switch which the default value is ON.

I changed the value above by set them in /etc/my.cnf.
First I set the innodb_lock_wait_timeout to a very large number like '99999', but it didn't work. Then I set the innodb_table_locks to 'OFF', and it did work! I can view the repository tab though it still took a long time to load initially.

I don't know if there are some problems when I OFF the table lock function because it seem to be important for the DB and Redmine, Could you give me some solutions?

Sorry for my poor English and thanks for your help.

A deadlock has nothing to with lock wait timeout, a deadlock occurs when transaction A blocks transaction B, and B blocks A

Enter a 'show innodb status', it should describe the cause of the last deadlock

Yes, I changed the lock wait time and it didn't work.

Updated by Jean-Philippe Lang about 15 years ago

See the doc about repositories:

Important: When you first browse the repository, Redmine retrieves the description of all of the existing commits and stores them in the database.
This is done only once per repository but can very long (or even time out) if your repository has hundreds of commits.

To avoid this, you can do it offline.
After having your repository declared in Redmine, run the following command:

ruby script/runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production

All commits will be retrieved in the Redmine database.

I know this way and it worked well, but in many case users cannot know how long the process will take until they try it, because it depends on the size of repository and the machine power. So I think users always try it by browser at first, but sometimes it will return an internal error which users don't know what caused it. That is why I think this is a defect of Redmine.

If, for example, the first fetch process ends with a timeout error, Redmine will detect it and tell user to do it offline instead. I think this will be a more friendly interface for user. Thank you.

Well, this could be closed too, doesn't it?

It seems to be some system specific error. This seems to be caused by to much data to transfer and a to short time to do this. ;-)

I think we cannot close this issue.
Redmine does not use lock in fetching revisions from SCMs.
To prevent long time fetching, in Git and Mercurial, you can push divided revisions to repository.

For example.

$ hg push -r 0.6.0
$ hg push -r 0.7.0
$ hg push -r 0.8.0
.

Toshi MARUYAMA, this should be closed as it is not a bug.
I have a lot of repository, each with many revisions and over 200MB of data.

Hence, running

ruby script/runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production

is critical after setting up the repository.

Once the script is run, it can take almost 1 hour, the next time you click the repository this issue will not happen.

Should be closed same as #7002 mysql timeout when first browsing a large git repository?
