Enable MariaDB/MySQL's Strict Mode
Open, Stalled, LowPublic

Description

If you are looking for the full RFC, go to T112637

This task's scope is:

  • switching to MariaDB's Strict Mode, first on CI (T119371), then on production
  • Make it so that DB insert/update that would overflow would error out rather than be silently truncated
  • Generally promote better use of MariaDB by making many things fail precommit and/or fail loudly in production rather than failing quietly

Options discussed:

  • sql_mode = 'TRADITIONAL' (equivalent to STRICT_TRANS_TABLES, STRICT_ALL_TABLES, NO_ZERO_IN_DATE, NO_ZERO_DATE, ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO, NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER)
  • sql_mode = ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY

Often, our non-strict usage is a fountain of bugs and security issues.

This is not blocked by that- it only needs to be enabled on config (see my comment on the child ticket).

Thanks @Huji for noting the SecurePoll strict mode problems (T147875).

I'll note this task still seems to be unassigned. @hashar, is the Beta cluster running in strict mode?

The beta cluster databases have been migrated to Jessie / MariaDB 5.10 T138778 and their config file is https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-puppet/blob/d3a05afd154/templates/mariadb/beta.my.cnf.erb

On beta I would guess it is about setting $wgSQLMode via operations/mediawiki-config , maybe that already has been done. For CI the task is T119371.

I am lurking on this task but reasonably have zero free time to lead the effort.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/429386/ would enable sql_mode = TRADITIONAL via includes/DevelopmentSettings.php which is loaded by CI. Tracked by sub task T119371.

The need from Wikimedia-Rdbms was to add the option and any additional support. I believe that part is done. (Ideally that would've been a subtask, but alas, better next time.)

I fail to see how this task is related to incident followup, or sustainability. So removing the tag. Adding the sprint week tag as I was triaging this task for the SRE sprint week.

Additionally, given the low activity:

  • Set as stalled
  • Lower priority.

Additionally: strict mode is on by default since mariadb 10.2, this has nothing to do with production usage at this point. Maybe another task should be opened?

I want to remember this was detected as a mitigation to a MW incident/bug in which, if the flag was enabled on testing, the issue would have been caught earlier. But I don't remember the details.

I believe ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY is not enabled, which was part of the above scope. Strict is technically only STRICT_TRANS_TABLES.
