Description
When the ValidTxnManager invalidates the snapshot during merge insert and starts to read committed transactions that were not committed when the query compilation happened, it can cause partial read problems if the committed transaction created new partition in the source or target table.
The solution should be not only fix the snapshot but also recompile the query and acquire the locks again.
You could construct an example like this:
1. open and compile transaction 1 that merge inserts data from a partitioned source table that has a few partition.
2. Open, run and commit transaction 2 that inserts data to an old and a new partition to the source table.
3. Open, run and commit transaction 3 that inserts data to the target table of the merge statement, that will retrigger a snapshot generation in transaction 1.
4. Run transaction 1, the snapshot will be regenerated, and it will read partial data from transaction 2 breaking the ACID properties.
Different setup.
Switch the transaction order:
1. compile transaction 1 that inserts data to an old and a new partition of the source table.
2. compile transaction 2 that insert data to the target table
2. compile transaction 3 that merge inserts data from the source table to the target table
3. run and commit transaction 1
4. run and commit transaction 2
5. run transaction 3, since it cointains 1 and 2 in its snaphot the isValidTxnListState will be triggered and we do a partial read of the transaction 1 for the same reasons.
