## Database migrations
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The history service uses knex to manage PostgreSQL migrations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To create a new migrations, run:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
npx knex migrate:make migration_name
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To apply migrations, run:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
npx knex migrate:latest
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For more information, consult the [knex migrations
|
||
|
|
guide](https://knexjs.org/guide/migrations.html#migration-cli).

## Global blobs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Global blobs are blobs that are shared between projects. The list of global
|
||
|
|
blobs is stored in the projectHistoryGlobalBlobs Mongo collection and is read
|
||
|
|
when the service starts. Changing the list of global blobs needs to be done
|
||
|
|
carefully.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Adding a blob to the global blobs list
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If we identify a blob that appears in many projects, we might want to move that
|
||
|
|
blob to the global blobs list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Add a record for the blob to the projectHistoryGlobalBlobs collection.
|
||
|
|
2. Restart the history service.
|
||
|
|
3. Delete any corresponding project blobs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Removing a blob from the global blobs list
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Removing a blob from the global blobs list is trickier. As soon as the global
|
||
|
|
blob is made unavailable, every project that needs the blob will have to get
|
||
|
|
its own copy. To avoid disruptions, follow these steps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. In the projectHistoryGlobalBlobs collection, set the `demoted` property to
|
||
|
|
`false` on the global blob to remove. This will make the history system
|
||
|
|
write new instances of this blob to project blobs, but still read from the
|
||
|
|
global blob.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Restart the history service.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Copy the blob to all projects that need it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Remove the blob from the projectHistoryGlobalBlobs collection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Restart the history service.
