Testing of routing behavior with master_failure_mode=error_on_write and
allow_master_changes=true. By sending an error instead of closing the
connection when the master fails, the connection can resume execution if a
new master becomes available.
Added test cases that verify that the functionality works as
expected. Also made Mariadb_nodes::change_master less verbose when one of
the nodes is down.
If the connection to the backend where a read-only transaction is being
performed fails, the Backend object should be closed for it. This fixes a
debug assertion in readwritesplit.cc:check_and_log_backend_state which
asserts that the failed connection must not be in use after the error
handling is done.
Also reordered the failing assertion and the accompanying error message so
that the error is logged first.
Added some helper functions into the MaxScale class and default parameters
into the connection creation functions. Also made the ip() function const
correct.
Made the document more concise and added links to the download page. Made
the user grants easier to copy-paste and explained that they are used in
the following tutorials. Updated the links to the new tutorials.
The read-write splitting routing tutorial is a combination of the two
different read-write splitting routing tutorials. As with the connection
routing tutorial, this should reduce the maintenance burden.
The connection routing tutorial is a combination of the two different
connection routing tutorials. This should reduce the maintenance burden by
a significant amount.
The tutorials combine the Galera and MariaDB monitor configuration as well
as the server configuration sections that were duplicated for all
tutorials. This should make the documentation easier to maintain.
Earlier, if a service had multiple listeners you would have had
MaxScale> show dbusers MyService
User names: alice@% ...
User names: bob@% ...
That is, no indication of which listener is reporting what. With
this commit the result will be
User names (MyListener1): alice@% ...
User names (MyListener2): bob@% ...
Further, the diagnostics function of an authenticator is now expected
to write the list of users to the provided DCB, without performing any
other formatting. The formatting (printing "User names" and appending
a line-feed) is now handled by the handler for the MaxAdmin command
"show dbusers".
Timing out the statements and adding a LIMIT clause to the DELETE
statement should rule out backend server related problems. If the test
still times out, the problem is most likely in MaxScale.
This commit introduces changes that fix the relay master detection that
was broken by the merge from 2.1 into 2.2 by commit
1ecd791887994209eb29e56e1271f8c407cd0cdf.
In 2.2, the master server ID is used to detect whether a slave is actually
replicating from a master. The value is still displayed even if the slave
is not actively replicating from a master. The commit in 2.1 causes this
value to be stored unconditionally if it is available. By checking the
value of Last_IO_Errno and comparing it to a list of known error codes, we
know whether the slave is replicating properly.
The slave detection in 2.2 correctly identifies a broken slave with a
stopped IO thread. Due to this, the test case must be modified to check
that the relay master is not a slave if the IO thread is stopped.
If local address has been specified, then all connections created
using mxs_mysql_real_connect() will use that same local address as
well.
A system test has not been created as our VMs do not have more than
one usable IP-address. Locally it has been verified to work as
expected.
The test appears to fail due to connection errors when it attempts to
check whether MaxScale is still alive. To offset the chance of the backend
server still refusing connections after the initial spike, the sleep
before the check was increased.
The code had a note in that states that the test uses custom code
backported from 2.2 and that it should be updated to use common code once
merged into 2.2.
Added a small sleep to make sure the monitor picks up the changes in the
topology.
When MaxScale thinks that the master has failed, it tries to verify it by
seeing if the slave server is receiving events. There was a missing IO
thread status check in the slave_receiving_events function which caused
the failover to wait until the verification timed out.
The relay master detection logic also lacked a check for the slave SQL
thread status. The code should check the state of the SQL thread to
determine whether the server is actually a functional slave to a master.
Removed the `socket` options from the network listeners.
Updated wording for the listener sections to only mention network
ports. This makes the tutorial more concise.
The password encryption was documented in the installation instructions
and the main configuration document referred to it as a "section" in the
same document. Having it in the main configuration document makes it the
authoritative source of information.
