    Description

      TL;DR:

      In some versions of Couchbase Server cbbackupmgr will backup tombstones that contain a body. Restoring these tombstone can fail:

      Affected versions
      The version of cbbackupmgr does not matter. What matters is the version of the cluster that was backed up and the version of the cluster being restored to.

      Backup (rows) \ Restore (columns) Versions <=6.0.4 6.5.0 6.5.1 6.6.0
      <=6.0.4 *
      6.5.0 N/A *
      6.5.1 N/A N/A *
      6.6.0 N/A N/A N/A *

      * When restoring to Couchbase Server 6.6.0 there is a workaround, which is explained below.


      Problem
      cbbackupmgr restore fails against Couchbase Server 6.5.x and 6.6.0 as the delete_with_meta is reject as being invalided. On previous versions of Couchbase Server the delete_with_meta is accepted.

      Notes

      I can see the point that the delete_with_meta should never take a body, unfortunately DCP on previous versions of Couchbase Server does provide tombstone with bodies. cbbbackupmgr backs up everything it's given and when it does a restore it will give everything back. This also affects XDCR between Couchbase Server 6.0.4 to 6.6.0. Meaning two of our upgrade processes will not work for 6.6.0.

      Interestingly on 6.6.0 the following config is set:

      6.6.0

      # /opt/couchbase/bin/cbstats localhost config -b test -u Administrator -p password | grep allow_del
      ep_allow_del_with_meta_prune_user_data:                false
      

      There does not seem to be away to see what this is set to on old versions.

      Steps to reproduce
      1. Create a document with user xattrs and a 10 second TTL on Couchbase Server 6.0.3

       /opt/couchbase/bin/cbc-subdoc -U couchbase://localhost/test -u Administrator -P password
       subdoc> set test value -x xattr=100 -e 10
      

      2. Wait 10 seconds
      3. Take a backup

      /opt/couchbase/bin/cbbackupmgr config -a backup -r zombie
      /opt/couchbase/bin/cbbackupmgr backup -a backup -r zombie  -c 10.112.194.101 -u Administrator -p password
      

      4. From the examine command we can see that the tombstone contains the xattr and a value:

      /opt/couchbase/bin/cbbackupmgr examine -a backup -r zombie   --bucket test --tombstones -k test
      Key: test
        SeqNo: 2
        Backup: 2020-10-29T15_05_45.745791997Z
        Deleted: true
        Size: 4B (key), 29B (meta), 3B (value)
        Meta: {"cas":1603983924472709120,"revseqno":2,"datatype":6}
        Xattrs: {"xattr":100}
        Value: value
      

      5. Restore the backup to Couchbase Server 6.6.0

       /opt/couchbase/bin/cbbackupmgr restore -a backup -r zombie  -c localhost -u Administrator -p password

      Restores to previous versions of Couchbase Server (6.0.X and lower) the restore works.

      The restore on 6.0.4:

      The xdcr logs from Couchbase Server 6.0.4 where the target is 6.6.0 showing that it's affected:

      6.0.4 goxdcr.log

      Workaround

      There is a work around but it only works for 6.6.0:

      cbepctl workaround

      # /opt/couchbase/bin/cbepctl localhost:11210 -b test -u Administrator -p password set flush_param allow_del_with_meta_prune_user_data true
      setting param: allow_del_with_meta_prune_user_data true
      set allow_del_with_meta_prune_user_data to true
      

      This will allow the restore to work:

      6.6.0 restore with workaround

      # /opt/couchbase/bin/cbbackupmgr restore -a backup -r zombie  -c localhost -u Administrator -p password

      Skipped due to purge number or conflict resolution: Mutations: 0 Deletions: 0
      Restore completed successfully
      

      Unfortunately when the same work around is tried on 6.5.1 cbbackupmgr hangs and memcached produces an exception.

      6.5.1 restore with workaround hangs
