[pmg-devel] [PATCH pmg-api] fix #5189: cluster: do not synchronize statistics that already exist

[Friedrich Weber]

After restoring a backup from a cluster on a fresh node with
statistics, and then creating a cluster, the following can happen
(node 1 being master and node 2 being a node): `ClusterInfo` on node
1 has no record about the last-synchronized `CStatistic` row id of
node 2. Thus, pmgmirror on node 1 initializes the record with -1 and
tries to synchronize *all* `CStatistic` rows with cid 2 from node 2.
But (some of) these rows may already exist on cid 1, because they
were part of the backup, so pmgmirror on node 1 triggers a Postgres
unique constraint violation, statistics synchronization on node 1
fails, and node 1 remains in the "synchronizing" state.

Fix this as follows: If `ClusterInfo` does not have a record on the
last-synchronized `CStatistic` row id of some node cid, initialize it
with the maximum row id that exists in the local `CStatistic` for that
node cid, or with -1 if the local `CStatistic` has no row for that
node cid. For this, use a SQL query that is already used in
DBTools::update_client_clusterinfo. As a result, pmgmirror will only
synchronize rows with row ids larger than the maximum row id from the
backup, and avoid running into a unique constraint violation.

Notes:
    Tested that the steps from #5189 [1] do not produce a constraint
    violation anymore, and both cluster nodes eventually become "active".
    Also tested that this patch doesn't break anything in the "restore
    without statistics" scenario.
    
    However, not 100% sure I haven't overlooked any edge cases, so
    additional testing is very welcome!
