Hue Oracle Database- Delete non standard user entries from Parent and Child Tables.

 

We recently implemented authentication for Hue (https://gethue.com/) before that folks were allowed to authenticate with any kind of username and use Hue WebUI. 

After implementing authentication it was found that Hue Database consisted entries for old unwanted garbage users which were still able to use the service and by pass authentication.

Thus, it was required to delete such user entries from table HUE.AUTH_USER. But there were many associated child constraints, with the table which made deleting an entry violate constraints. 

Thus, it was required to find out all child tables associated with HUE.AUTH_USER. First delete entries from Child tables followed by deleting entries from Parent HUE.AUTH_USER.

We used following query to find all child tables, constraints and associated columns - 

select a.table_name parent_table_name, b.r_constraint_name parent_constraint, c.column_name parent_column, b.table_name child_table, b.constraint_name as child_constraint, d.column_name child_column from all_constraints a, 
all_constraints b, all_cons_columns c, all_cons_columns d
where a.owner='HUE' and a.table_name like 'AUTH_USER' and a.CONSTRAINT_TYPE in ('P', 'U') and a.constraint_name=b.r_constraint_name and a.owner=c.owner and a.table_name=c.table_name
and b.r_constraint_name=c.constraint_name and 
b.owner=d.owner and b.table_name=d.table_name
and b.constraint_name=d.constraint_name;

Further, we wrote a PLSQL block that deletes entries from Child tables, followed by deleting entries from parent table, followed by commit statement. Please refer following for complete PLSQL -

Python [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: Missing Authority Key Identifier

  Error requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool  Max retries exceeded with url:  (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: Missing Authority Key Identifier (_ssl.c:1028)'))). Analysis & Solution Recently, we updated from Python 3.11 to 3.13, which resulted in error above. We did verify AKI = SKI in chain of certificates. Also, imported chain of certificates into certifi. Nothing worked for us. Seemingly, it is a bug with Python 3.13. So, we downgraded to Python 3.12 and it started working.

Spring MongoDB Rest API not returning response in 90 seconds which is leading to client timeout

  We have Spring Boot  Rest API deployed in Kubernetes cluster which integrates with MongoDB to fetch the data.  MongoDB is fed with data by a real time Spark & NiFi job.  Our clients complained that for a request what they send they don't have response within 90 seconds. Consider it like an OMS ( Order ManagEment System).  On further analysis, we found that Spark & NiFi processing is happenning within 10 seconds after consuming response data from Kafka. Thus, initally out thought was that it due to delay from upstream to produce data in to Kafka.  Thankfully, our data had create / request  timestamp, and when response was received, and when response was inserted into MongoDB. Subtracting response insert time from request time seemed to be well within 90 seconds. But, still client did timeout on not seeing a response within 90 seconds. This led to confusion on our side.  But, then we realized it was due to Read Preference . We updated this...




MongoDB Regex Query taking more time in Production but same query perform well in UAT

   We came across a situation where-in, MongoDB Query was taking more time in Production like 10 seconds and 4.2 seconds but same query performed well in UAT taking under 400 ms. The very first thought that was evident to us that it is because of amount of data which differed in UAT and Production. Then we ran following to see the execution plan -   db.collection.aggregate(<queries>).explain() This gave us Winning and Rejected Plans. Under which, we analyzed that although it was using 'IXSCAN.' But, it was incorrect index- as we had one compound index built on time field and other fields, and there was other index just on time field for TTL purposes. Winning plan picked TTL index rather than compound index. Thus, we dropped TTL index and built TTL index on a different time field.  That got our query performance time from 10 seconds to 726 ms. Also, for other query the performance came down from 8 seconds to 4.3 seconds. Then, we ran following -  ...

Spark MongoDB Connector Not leading to correct count or data while reading

  We are using Scala 2.11 , Spark 2.4 and Spark MongoDB Connector 2.4.4 Use Case 1 - We wanted to read a Shareded Mongo Collection and copy its data to another Mongo Collection. We noticed that after Spark Job successful completion. Output MongoDB did not had many records. Use Case 2 -  We read a MongoDB collection and doing count on dataframe lead to different count on each execution. Analysis,  We realized that MongoDB Spark Connector is missing data on bulk read as a dataframe. We tried various partitioner, listed on page -  https://www.mongodb.com/docs/spark-connector/v2.4/configuration/  But, none of them worked for us. Finally, we tried  MongoShardedPartitioner  this lead to constant count on each execution. But, it was greater than the actual count of records on the collection. This seems to be limitation with MongoDB Spark Connector. But,  MongoShardedPartitioner  seemed closest possible solution to this kind of situation. But, it per...
