Have you tried reproducing the issue with the latest release?

Yes. Reproducible in

  • v20.07.2-rc1
  • v20.03.6-rc1
  • master (3ed726fca)

(steps don’t work in v20.07.1 or v20.03.5).

What is the hardware spec (RAM, OS)?

64 GB Ubuntu Linux

Steps to reproduce the issue (command/config used to run Dgraph).

  1. Run Dgraph with ludicrous mode enabled.

  2. Set schema for type:

    name: string .
xid: string .
type MyType {
  name
  xid
}

  3. Insert a node with the type:

    {
  set {
    _:n <dgraph.type> "MyType" .
    _:n <name> "Alice" .
    _:n <xid> "10" .
  }
}

  4. Query for the node using its uid:

    {
  q(func: uid(0x2)) {
    uid
    dgraph.type
    name
    xid
  }
}

    Response:

    {
  "data": {
    "q": [
      {
        "uid": "0x2",
        "dgraph.type": [
          "MyType"
        ],
        "name": "Alice",
        "xid": "10"
      }
    ]
  }
}

  5. Do an S * * deletion:

    {
  delete {
    <0x2> * * .
  }
}

  6. Run the same query in Step 4. The response that is returned is:

    {
  "data": {
    "q": [
      {
        "uid": "0x2",
        "name": "Alice",
        "xid": "10"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Expected behaviour and actual result.

The expected result is an empty query response. But, only dgraph.type was deleted.

When ludicrous mode is turned off, S * * deletion works as expected.

Note about v20.07.1:

In v20.07.1, when running the S * * deletion in Step 5, I get this query error back:

Txn Context is nil: While adding pb.edges: readTs: 0 less than minTs: 7 for key: \"\\x00\\x00\\vdgraph.type\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x01\"

Is this still an issue?

I tried S * * delete mutation using cloud Ratel, it seems to have succeeded but object wasn’t deleted. Below are two command variants I tried.

  • Variant 1
      {
   delete {
  		<0x7aec3d502> * * .
   }
}
  • Variant 2
    {
   delete {
  		<0x7aec3d502> <Tcode.uid> * .
   }
}

The Ludicrous mode was discontinued in the latests versions. I think late 2021, this post is from 2020.
