-### "Foreign Data Wrapper (FDW) is not configured" error
-
-When setting up Geo, you might see this warning in the `gitlab-rake
-gitlab:geo:check` output:
-
-```plaintext
-GitLab Geo tracking database Foreign Data Wrapper schema is up-to-date? ... foreign data wrapper is not configured
-```
-
-There are a few key points to remember:
-
-1. The FDW settings are configured on the Geo **tracking** database.
-1. The configured foreign server enables a login to the Geo
- **secondary**, read-only database.
-
-By default, the Geo secondary and tracking database are running on the
-same host on different ports. That is, 5432 and 5431 respectively.
-
-#### Checking configuration
-
-NOTE: **Note:**
-The following steps are for Omnibus installs only. Using Geo with source-based installs was **deprecated** in GitLab 11.5.
-
-To check the configuration:
-
-1. SSH into an app node in the **secondary**:
-
- ```shell
- sudo -i
- ```
-
- Note: An app node is any machine running at least one of the following services:
-
- - `puma`
- - `unicorn`
- - `sidekiq`
- - `geo-logcursor`
-
-1. Enter the database console:
-
- If the tracking database is running on the same node:
-
- ```shell
- gitlab-geo-psql
- ```
-
- Or, if the tracking database is running on a different node, you must specify
- the user and host when entering the database console:
-
- ```shell
- gitlab-geo-psql -U gitlab_geo -h <IP of tracking database>
- ```
-
- You will be prompted for the password of the `gitlab_geo` user. You can find
- it in plaintext in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` at:
-
- ```ruby
- geo_secondary['db_password'] = '<geo_tracking_db_password>'
- ```
-
- This password is normally set on the tracking database during
- [Step 3: Configure the tracking database on the secondary node](multiple_servers.md#step-3-configure-the-tracking-database-on-the-secondary-node),
- and it is set on the app nodes during
- [Step 4: Configure the frontend application servers on the secondary node](multiple_servers.md#step-4-configure-the-frontend-application-servers-on-the-secondary-node).
-
-1. Check whether any tables are present with the following statement:
-
- ```sql
- SELECT * from information_schema.foreign_tables;
- ```
-
- If everything is working, you should see something like this:
-
- ```plaintext
- gitlabhq_geo_production=# SELECT * from information_schema.foreign_tables;
- foreign_table_catalog | foreign_table_schema | foreign_table_name | foreign_server_catalog | foreign_server_name
- -------------------------+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+---------------------
- gitlabhq_geo_production | gitlab_secondary | abuse_reports | gitlabhq_geo_production | gitlab_secondary
- gitlabhq_geo_production | gitlab_secondary | appearances | gitlabhq_geo_production | gitlab_secondary

- gitlabhq_geo_production | gitlab_secondary | application_settings | gitlabhq_geo_production | gitlab_secondary
- <snip>
- ```
-
- However, if the query returns with `0 rows`, then continue onto the next steps.
-
-1. Check that the foreign server mapping is correct via `\des+`. The
- results should look something like this:
-
- ```plaintext
- gitlabhq_geo_production=# \des+
- List of foreign servers
- -[ RECORD 1 ]--------+------------------------------------------------------------
- Name | gitlab_secondary
- Owner | gitlab-psql
- Foreign-data wrapper | postgres_fdw

- | gitlab_geo=U/"gitlab-psql"
- Type |
- Version |
- FDW Options | (host '0.0.0.0', port '5432', dbname 'gitlabhq_production')
- Description |
- ```
-
- NOTE: **Note:**
- Pay particular attention to the host and port under
- FDW options. That configuration should point to the Geo secondary
- database.
-
- If you need to experiment with changing the host or password, the
- following queries demonstrate how:
-
- ```sql
- ALTER SERVER gitlab_secondary OPTIONS (SET host '<my_new_host>');
- ALTER SERVER gitlab_secondary OPTIONS (SET port 5432);
- ```
-
- If you change the host and/or port, you will also have to adjust the
- following settings in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and run `gitlab-ctl
- reconfigure`:
-
- - `gitlab_rails['db_host']`
- - `gitlab_rails['db_port']`
-
-1. Check that the user mapping is configured properly via `\deu+`:
-
- ```plaintext
- gitlabhq_geo_production=# \deu+
- List of user mappings
- Server | User name | FDW Options
- ------------------+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- gitlab_secondary | gitlab_geo | ("user" 'gitlab', password 'YOUR-PASSWORD-HERE')
- (1 row)
- ```
-
- Make sure the password is correct. You can test that logins work by running `psql`:
-
- ```shell
- # Connect to the tracking database as the `gitlab_geo` user
- sudo \
- -u git /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/psql \
- -h /var/opt/gitlab/geo-postgresql \
- -p 5431 \
- -U gitlab_geo \
- -W \
- -d gitlabhq_geo_production
- ```
-
- If you need to correct the password, the following query shows how:
-
- ```sql
- ALTER USER MAPPING FOR gitlab_geo SERVER gitlab_secondary OPTIONS (SET password '<my_new_password>');
- ```
-
- If you change the user or password, you will also have to adjust the
- following settings in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and run `gitlab-ctl
- reconfigure`:
-
- - `gitlab_rails['db_username']`
- - `gitlab_rails['db_password']`
-
- If you are using [PgBouncer in front of the secondary
- database](database.md#pgbouncer-support-optional), be sure to update
- the following settings:
-
- - `geo_postgresql['fdw_external_user']`
- - `geo_postgresql['fdw_external_password']`
-
-#### Manual reload of FDW schema
-
-If you're still unable to get FDW working, you may want to try a manual
-reload of the FDW schema. To manually reload the FDW schema:
-
-1. On the node running the Geo tracking database, enter the PostgreSQL console via
- the `gitlab_geo` user:
-
- ```shell
- sudo \
- -u git /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/psql \
- -h /var/opt/gitlab/geo-postgresql \
- -p 5431 \
- -U gitlab_geo \
- -W \
- -d gitlabhq_geo_production
- ```
-
- Be sure to adjust the port and hostname for your configuration. You
- may be asked to enter a password.
-
-1. Reload the schema via:
-
- ```sql
- DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS gitlab_secondary CASCADE;
- CREATE SCHEMA gitlab_secondary;
- GRANT USAGE ON FOREIGN SERVER gitlab_secondary TO gitlab_geo;
- IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA public FROM SERVER gitlab_secondary INTO gitlab_secondary;
- ```
-
-1. Test that queries work:
-
- ```sql
- SELECT * from information_schema.foreign_tables;
- SELECT * FROM gitlab_secondary.projects limit 1;
- ```

-### Foreign Data Wrapper
-
-> Introduced in GitLab 10.1.
-
-Foreign Data Wrapper ([FDW](#fdw)) is used by the [Geo Log Cursor](#geo-log-cursor) and improves
-the performance of many synchronization operations.
-
-FDW is a PostgreSQL extension ([`postgres_fdw`](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/postgres-fdw.html)) that is enabled within
-the Geo Tracking Database (on a **secondary** node), which allows it
-to connect to the read-only database replica and perform queries and filter
-data from both instances.
-
-This persistent connection is configured as an FDW server
-named `gitlab_secondary`. This configuration exists within the database's user
-context only. To access the `gitlab_secondary`, GitLab needs to use the
-same database user that had previously been configured.
-
-The Geo Tracking Database accesses the read-only database replica via FDW as a regular user,
-limited by its own restrictions. The credentials are configured as a
-`USER MAPPING` associated with the `SERVER` mapped previously
-(`gitlab_secondary`).
-
-FDW configuration and credentials definition are managed automatically by the
-Omnibus GitLab `gitlab-ctl reconfigure` command.
-
-#### Refreshing the Foreign Tables
-
-Whenever a new Geo node is configured or the database schema changes on the
-**primary** node, you must refresh the foreign tables on the **secondary** node
-by running the following:
-
-```shell
-bundle exec rake geo:db:refresh_foreign_tables
-```
-
-Failure to do this will prevent the **secondary** node from
-functioning properly. The **secondary** node will generate error
-messages, as the following PostgreSQL error:
-
-```sql
-ERROR: relation "gitlab_secondary.ci_job_artifacts" does not exist at character 323
-STATEMENT: SELECT a.attname, format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod),
- pg_get_expr(d.adbin, d.adrelid), a.attnotnull, a.atttypid, a.atttypmod
- FROM pg_attribute a LEFT JOIN pg_attrdef d
- ON a.attrelid = d.adrelid AND a.attnum = d.adnum
- WHERE a.attrelid = '"gitlab_secondary"."ci_job_artifacts"'::regclass
- AND a.attnum > 0 AND NOT a.attisdropped
- ORDER BY a.attnum
-```
-
-#### Accessing data from a Foreign Table
-
-At the SQL level, all you have to do is `SELECT` data from `gitlab_secondary.*`.
-
-Here's an example of how to access all projects from the Geo Tracking Database's FDW:
-
-```sql
-SELECT * FROM gitlab_secondary.projects;
-```
-
-As a more real-world example, this is how you filter for unarchived projects
-on the Tracking Database:
-
-```sql
-SELECT project_registry.*
- FROM project_registry
- JOIN gitlab_secondary.projects
- ON (project_registry.project_id = gitlab_secondary.projects.id
- AND gitlab_secondary.projects.archived IS FALSE)
-```
-
-At the ActiveRecord level, we have additional Models that represent the
-foreign tables. They must be mapped in a slightly different way, and they are read-only.
-
-Check the existing FDW models in `ee/app/models/geo/fdw` for reference.
-
-From a developer's perspective, it's no different than creating a model that
-represents a Database View.
-
-With the examples above, you can access the projects with:
-
-```ruby
-Geo::Fdw::Project.all
-```
-
-and to access the `ProjectRegistry` filtering by unarchived projects:
-
-```ruby
-# We have to use Arel here:
-project_registry_table = Geo::ProjectRegistry.arel_table
-fdw_project_table = Geo::Fdw::Project.arel_table
-
-project_registry_table.join(fdw_project_table)
- .on(project_registry_table[:project_id].eq(fdw_project_table[:id]))
- .where((fdw_project_table[:archived]).eq(true)) # if you append `.to_sql` you can check generated query
-```
-
## Finders
Geo uses [Finders](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/tree/master/app/finders),
which are classes take care of the heavy lifting of looking up
projects/attachments/etc. in the tracking database and main database.
-### Finders Performance
-
-The Finders need to compare data from the main database with data in
-the tracking database. For example, counting the number of synced
-projects normally involves retrieving the project IDs from one
-database and checking their state in the other database. This is slow
-and requires a lot of memory.
-
-To overcome this, the Finders use [FDW](#fdw), or Foreign Data
-Wrappers. This allows a regular `JOIN` between the main database and
-the tracking database.
