Overview

BatchedBackgroundMigrations are a new approach to scheduling and executing background migrations, which uses persistent state in the database to track each migration. This avoids having to batch over an entire table and schedule a large number of sidekiq jobs upfront. It also provides for more flexibility as the migration runs, as it can be paused and restarted, and have configuration values like the batch size updated dynamically as the migration runs.

For now, these migrations are not considered ready for general use, for more information see the tracking epic: gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6751

  Batched migration should be finalized only after at-least one required stop from queuing it.
  This is to ensure that we are not breaking the upgrades for self-managed instances.

Creates a batched background migration for the given table. A batched migration runs one job at a time, computing the bounds of the next batch based on the current migration settings and the previous batch bounds. Each job’s execution status is tracked in the database as the migration runs. The given job class must be present in the Gitlab::BackgroundMigration module, and the batch class (if specified) must be present in the Gitlab::BackgroundMigration::BatchingStrategies module.

If a migration with same job_class_name, table_name, column_name, and job_arguments already exists, this helper will log a warning and not create a new one.

job_class_name - The background migration job class as a string batch_table_name - The name of the table the migration will batch over batch_column_name - The name of the column the migration will batch over job_arguments - Extra arguments to pass to the job instance when the migration runs job_interval - The pause interval between each job’s execution, minimum of 2 minutes, defaults to BATCH_MIN_DELAY batch_min_value - The value in the column the batching will begin at batch_max_value - The value in the column the batching will end at, defaults to ‘SELECT MAX(batch_column)` batch_class_name - The name of the class that will be called to find the range of each next batch batch_size - The maximum number of rows per job sub_batch_size - The maximum number of rows processed per “iteration” within the job

*Returns the created BatchedMigration record*

Example:

queue_batched_background_migration(
  'CopyColumnUsingBackgroundMigrationJob',
  :events,
  :id,
  other_job_arguments: ['column1', 'column2'])

Where the background migration exists:

class Gitlab::BackgroundMigration::CopyColumnUsingBackgroundMigrationJob
  def perform(start_id, end_id, batch_table, batch_column, sub_batch_size, *other_args)
    # do something
  end
end
