TiPocket is a testing toolkit designed to test TiDB, it encapsulates some testing tools which are also suitable for testing other databases.
TiPocket is inspired by jepsen-io/jepsen, a famous library on the distributed system field. TiPocket focuses on stability testing on TiDB, it uses chaos-mesh to inject all-round kinds of nemesis on a TiDB cluster.
-
TiDB Operator >= v1.1.9
-
Chaos Mesh >= v1.1.0
- go-sqlsmith: go-sqlsmith is our Go implementation of sqlsmith, it's a fuzz-testing tool which can generate random MySQL-dialect SQL queries.
- go-elle: Our Go port version of jepsen-io/elle, a general transactional consistency checker for black-box databases.
- random_kill, all_kill, minor_kill, major_kill, kill_tikv_1node_5min, kill_pd_leader_5min: As their name implies, these nemeses inject unavailable in a specified period of time.
- short_kill_tikv_1node, short_kill_pd_leader: Kill selected container, used to inject short duration of unavailable fault.
- partition_one: Isolate single nodes
- scaling: Scale up/down TiDB/PD/TiKV nodes randomly
- shuffle-leader-scheduler/shuffle-region-scheduler/random-merge-scheduler: Just as there name implies
delay_tikv, delay_pd, errno_tikv, errno_pd, mixed_tikv, mixed_pd: Inject IO-related fault.- small_skews, subcritical_skews, critical_skews, big_skews, huge_skews: Clock skew, small_skews ~100ms, subcritical_skews ~200ms, critical_skews ~250ms, big_skews ~500ms and huge_skews ~5s.
run make init c=$case
, for example:
$ make init c=demo

create a new case `demo`: testcase/demo
If you have a K8s cluster, you can use the below commands to deploy and run the case on a TiDB cluster.
make build
export KUBECONFIG=${YOUR_KUBECONFIG_PATH}
# direct connect
bin/${testcase} -namespace=${ns} -hub=docker.io -image-version=nightly -storage-class=local-path
This method can't resolve the k8s cluster network accessing and DNS resolution issues, but it's useful for most cases.
export KUBECONFIG=${YOUR_KUBECONFIG_PATH}
kubectl apply -f hacks/debug/k8s-proxy.yaml -n ${ns}
bin/${testcase} -mysql-proxy=socks5://${a_node_ip}:30080 -namespace=${ns} -hub=docker.io -image-version=nightly -storage-class=local-path
This method overcomes the k8s cluster network accessing problem, but one flaw is retained: DNS resolution, so proxychains-ng is recommended here (if you don't mind to install it: brew install proxychains-ng
).
export KUBECONFIG=${YOUR_KUBECONFIG_PATH}
kubectl apply -f hacks/debug/k8s-proxy.yaml -n ${ns}
# edit hacks/debug/proxychains.conf, replace REPLACE_ME_WITH_REAL_NODE_IP with a k8s node ip,
# you can connect to the k8s administrator to get a k8s node ip
proxychains4 -f hacks/debug/proxychains.conf bin/${testcase} -mysql-proxy=socks5://${a_node_ip}:30080 -namespace=${ns} -hub=docker.io -image-version=nightly -storage-class=local-path
Another convenient way we recommend you is using tiup to deploy a cluster on local and use it to debug cases.
- Start a TiDB cluster
tiup playground --kv 3
- Specify that cluster address through
-tidb-server
-tikv-server
and-pd-server
bin/${testcase} -tidb-server 127.0.0.1:4000
- If a cluster has many service addresses, you can pass a flag multiple times
bin/${testcase} -tikv-server 127.0.0.1:20160 -tikv-server 127.0.0.1:20161
TiPocket includes some consistency, isolation and other kinds of tests
- bank transfers between rows of a shared table
- pbank check bank accounts using a linearizability checker porcupine
- vbank like bank but cover more TiKV features
- ledger yet another bank test
- rawkv-linearizability rawkv linearizability checker
- tpcc use go-tpc testing consistency
- append checks for dependency cycles in transactions using Elle
- register checks for write-read dependency cycles over read-write registers using Elle
