If a switchover_script parameter is given, its value will be used as
the switchover script. Otherwise the default will be used. Currently
just echo.
The MySQL Monitor now introduces two script variables, CURRENT_MASTER
and NEW_MASTER, that contain information about the current and new
master respectively.
Switchover is performed only if switchover has been enabled and MaxScale
is *not* in passive mode.
The total timeout for the retrying of interrupted queries can now be
configured with the `query_retry_timeout` parameter. It controls the total
timeout in seconds that the query can take.
The actual connection, read and write timeouts of the connector aren't a
good configuration value to use for abstracted queries as the time that it
takes to execute a query can be composed of both connections, reads and
writes. This is caused by the usage of MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT that hides the
fact that the connector reconnects to the server when a query is
attempted.
The new `query_retries` parameter controls how many times an interrupted
query is retried. This retrying of interrupted queries will reduce the
rate of false positives that MaxScale monitors detect.
Tentative documentation.
With the 'switchover' config variable the switchover functionality
can be enabled. If enabled a REST API endpoint will appear, using
which that switchover can be initiated.
Switchover can only be performed when MaxScale is in active mode
and failover will be disabled for the duration of the switchover.
Only if the switchover succeeds, will failover be enabled again.
Might be easier to expose that REST API always and only change
the behaviour when calling it, instead of making it appear and
re-appear.
Split the state change processing and failover handling into two separate
functions and added a call to the failover function into mysqlmon. This
prevents unintended behavior when failover is enabled for non-mysqlmon
monitors. The parameter itself still needs to be moved into mysqlmon.
Moved the failover documentation to the mysqlmon documentation as it is
specific to this monitor.
When the database firewall filter is used in white-list mode,
'USE <db>' should be allowed. When connecting, it is always
possible to specify the database anyway so restricting
'USE <db>' serves no purpose.
The avrorouter now uses the parameters from the source service. This
removes the need for redundant parameter definition in the avrorouter
service when they are defined in the binlogrouter service as parameters.
Added some missing configuration sanity checks and updated the tutorial to
reflect the new configuration method introduced in 2.1.
The documentation stated that the binlogrouter would use the cache
directory to store the binary log files. In reality, there was no default
value and the service would fail to start without a binlogdir parameter.
The router now uses the data directory (/var/lib/maxscale/) to store the
binary logs.
Set the default value of mariadb10-compatibility to true. This is in line
with the fact that most installations should use the router with a MariaDB
10.0 server or newer.
The new parameter allows the session to be "locked" to the master server
after a stored procedure is called. This will keep the session state
consistent if the stored procedure call modifies the state of the session.
The CHILDREN parameter expands to a list of server IPs and ports that are
direct descendants of the server that initiated the event.
Also added a note that the variables can expand to empty strings if
nothing matches the criteria of the variable.
The scripts now replace the PARENT variable with the IP and port of the
server that is the direct parent node of the server that initiated the
event. For master-slave clusters, this will be the master IP if the server
that triggered the event is a slave.
If the executed subprocess prefixes its output with either `error:`,
`warning:` or `info:`, the message will be logged on the appropriate
level. If no prefix is provided, the message is logged on the notice
level.
