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.
To be able to do that, we need to get hold of the MXS_MONITORED_SERVER
corresponding to the SERVER specified as the new master.
So, instead of just return a boolean indicating whether the server was
found or not we return the MXS_MONITORED_SERVER pointer.
The test now skips execution of inserts to separate nodes. This should
guarantee that the nodes are synced at all times.
The test now does the inserts and selects inside a transaction to force
the reads to the same node where the inserts are done.
The tests now print a stack trace to standard output if it receives a
fatal signal. This will help debug test failures caused by broken tests
and unexpected results.
The mm test was on the heavy side and the workload can be reduced for the
sake of testing only the functionality.
The mm_mysqlmon test did not check the initial state of the
server. Although not necessary, adding it will help detect test failures
caused by broken replication.
mxs1457_ignore_deleted did not stop the monitors before breaking the
replication and attempting to use MaxScale. As the test expects
authentication to work regardless of the actual state of the servers, the
monitors need to be disabled before a query is attempted.
The ssh_node function now supports printf style arguments. This is used to
simplify command execution on the nodes.
Curreltny, in addition to its old usage, it is used to drop extra
databases when replication is started.
The stack traces weren't logged as the LOG_ALERT priority wasn't enabled
by default. As an alert is intended to be something that must leave a
trace somewhere, and as such, it must not be possible to disable it. For
this reason, it is acceptable to always log the message if the priority is
LOG_ALERT.
Added the -rdynamic linker flag so that all symbols are exported when
linking MaxScale.
As the stack trace is printed in a signal handler, the first attempt
should be to print the stack trace to the standard output. This way the
output is printed before an attempt to use malloc is made when it is
logged to the logfile.
If the client sends data before authentication is complete, it must not be
discarded and it needs to be processed like as if it was sent in a
separate network packet.
Switchover expects one or two servers as argument, one (the new
master) if there is no master and two (the new master, and the
current master) if there currently is a master.
The procedure is as follows:
- Stop monitor
- Check that provided arguments are reasonable.
- If there is no master currently, then only one argument is
accepted.
- If there is a master, then it must also be specified.
This is to prevent pathological cases where the situation has
changed after the admin has issued the switchover command.
- Check the failover mode and disable it.
- Perform the failover.
- If succeeded, enable failover if it was.
- If it failed, if failover was enabled, do not enable it and log
an alert. If failover was not enabled, just log an error.
If a module command returns a json object, it will always be
returned to the caller, irrespective of whether the command
itself succeeded or not.
Otherwise, if the command failed and if the module command has
set an error message, that error message will be returned as a
json object containing the error message.
If a module command returns a json object, it will always be
returned to the caller, irrespective of whether the command
itself succeeded or not.
Otherwise, if the command failed and if the module command has
set an error message, that error message will be returned as a
json object containing the error message.
Since the module command interface was expanded to include a JSON output
parameter, there is no longer a need for an output DCB. As the JSON can be
printed by both maxadmin and the REST API, this allows the removal of
explicit output formatting in module commands.
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.
The yargs framework combined with the pkg packaging causes the executable
name to be mangled on installation. For this reason, the usage should be
explicitly added to each command.
The `failover` and `failover_timeout` parameters are now declared as a
part of the mysqlmon module. Changed the implementation of the failover
function so that the dependencies on the monitor struct can be removed or
moved into parameters.
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.
If the authenticator option is enabled, no users are loaded and no errors
have occurred in the user loading process, the service credentials are
injected.
