The instance and session objects are now C++ structs. The next pointers
for the sessions was removed as it is not the appropriate place to store
this information. This means that the client notification functionality is
broken in this commit.
The test may fail if the client/maxscale/mariadb combo is too slow.
TODO, maybe: today I saw mysql_query() hang (in a poll) when maxscale
disconnected. Is there something that can be done about that?
I added a source directory, base, for stuff that should become part of a common
utility library in the future.
Defining the [maxscale] section in a configuration file that is not the
root configuration file is now treated as an error instead of silently
ignored.
This makes the code clearer and reduces race conditions, as the monitor
could be writing SERVER->status while a router is reading it. Also,
the time during which the SERVER struct is locked drops to a fraction.
testrules.cc had a signed to unsigned comparison and it used lambda
functions (which are not supported in CentOS 6).
The keywords struct in hintparser.cc needed to be declared static in order
for it to compile.
When large binary protocol packets were handled, a part of the data was
replaced with a non-existing PS ID.
The replacement of the client PS ID to the internal ID and the replacement
of the internal ID to the server specific ID must only be done if a large
packet is not being processed. This can be done on the router level
without adding knowledge of large packets to the RWBackend class.
A specific function, RWBackend::continue_write, was added to make it clear
that the buffer being written is a part of a larger query. The base class
Backend::write could be used but its usage is not self-explanatory.
A slight increase of the timeout to 300 seconds should solve some test
failures. The test is extremely hard on the machines and even when run
locally, the test slows down to a crawl.
The MariaDB implementation allows the last GTID to be tracked with the
`last_gtid` variable. To do this, the configuration option
`session_track_system_variables=last_gtid` must be used or it must be
enabled at runtime.
The `drain server` commands removes a server from all services and waits
until all the connections for it are closed. Once the server is no longer
in use, it will be set into maintenance mode and put back into the
services where it was removed from.
The `show sessions` output now displays the servers each session is
connected to along with their connections IDs. The output format of the
data is not the most compact representation but it should make it
relatively easy to parse.
The protocol now allows protocol modules to return JSON formatted
information about the protocol module internals. Currently this is only
implemented by the mariadbbackend module and it returns the current
connection ID on the backend server.
Removed unused and properly documented all entry points in the protocol
module API. As the removal of the `session` entry point is an backwards
incompatible change, the protocol API version was updated.
The connections that relate to a particular session are now a part of the
sessions resource. Currently, only the generic information is stored for
each connection (id and server name).
Now that the set of DCBs is stored in the session, it can be used to speed
up the handling of the KILL command processing by stopping when the first
related DCB is found.
By storing a link to the backend DCBs in the session object itself, we can
reach all related objects from the session. This removes the need to
iterate over all DCBs to find the set of related DCBs.
DCBs will only be used in conjunction with RoutingWorkers and
hence RoutingWorker and not just Worker must be used when looking
for the current worker and worker id.
The reason is that RoutingWorker cheats; the current worker id is
set to 0 at initialization time, which indicates that a worker would
be running although it isn't.
The reason is that as listeners are created before any worker has
been started, that arrangement ensures that listening DCBs are
book-kept in the worker running in the main thread.
Now, that is a kludge. It ought to be changed so that a, say,
MainRoutingWorker class is introduced that in its run function
initializes MaxScale and then continues running as any regular
RoutingWorker. In due time.
- If a client DCB should be moved to some other worker than
the current one (cli and maxinfo), and that fails, the
thread id must be reset to that of the calling thread as
otherwise asserts will be triggered.
- If the creation of the first DCB fails, then the dcb list
for that thread will be NULL and thus must be accessed
with some caution.
By truncating the files, tests can be run while the log is being
tailed. If they are removed, the files need to be reopened each time a
test is started.
When the pipe buffer size is maximized, the message queue can hold more
messages. This will mitigate the problem of too many messages being placed
in the queue.
When DCBs are being hung in dcb_hangup_foreach, the hangup event can be
processed directly. This prevents excessive use of the worker message
queue pipe thus reducing the possibility of it being full.
The safest way to stop the avrorouter is to stop replication and wait for
the conversion to halt. This was not previously documented and needs to be
mentioned in the router documentation.
The fact that a client dcb was immediately added to the epoll-
instance of the relevant worker (possible, since that is thread-
safe), but was added to the book-keeping via the message mechanism
(necessary, since that is not thread-safe), meant that if the
connection was closed before the message was delivered, the handling
of the message then caused an access error.
Now the fd is also added to the epoll-instance via the messaging
mechanism, so the problem can no longer occur. The only fds this
affects are connections made to maxadmin or maxinfo as they are
always handled by the main thread due to deadlock issues.
