Using the same implementation of the Backend and SessionCommand classes in
both schemarouter and readwritesplit will prevent duplication of code.
This commit only splits the generic parts of the class to a Backend class
which the schemarouter then extends. The session commands for both routers
are similar so they require no special handling.
That allows the version to be updated and read atomically. If
major/minor/patch are stored as separate variables, you can get an
inconsistent set. Now it may be out of date by the time it is used,
but it will never be internally inconsistent.
The behaviour of the query classifier needs to change depending
on the version of the servers of a service. With this function
"some" version of the service can be obtained.
The behaviour of the query classifier needs to be different
depending on the actual version of the server. There is already
a human readable string, but for programmatic use it needs to
be in a format that can easily be parsed.
If no regex type parameters are defined and a compiled pattern is
requested, the function will return a NULL value. This allows code that
directly calls the config_get_compiled_regex function to work without
doing additional checks for the presence of optional parameters.
With this change, it is no longer possible that the server version
is deallocated at the very moment it is read. There is still a race,
but it's mostly harmless.
MXS-1282. The flags "-g=arglist" or "--debug=arglist" activate
the debug settings specified in the comma-separated list arglist.
Currently, the setting "disable-module-unloading", which prevents
modules (.so-files) from being unloaded at exit, is supported. This
allows Valgrind to produce line numbers for leak reports when the
memory was allocated in a module. The setting "enable-module-unloading"
is also available, but this is activated by default.
The debug arguments and their actions are defined in a structure
array, so adding more is straightforward.
The function now returns the compiled code or null or error. Also,
instead of capcount, it writes the ovector size. The ovector pointer
can be null. Removed the other config_get_compiled_regex()-function
and replaced it with the refactored function since they are almost
identical.
The admin interface now uses HTTP BA authentication by default. This will
prevent unrestricted access to the REST API but the authentication is by
no means secure and the HTTPS mode for the REST API should be enabled for
all production systems.
The module commands can now produce JSON formatted output which is passed
to the caller. The output should conform to the JSON API as closely as
possible.
Currently, the REST API wraps all JSON produced by module commands inside
a meta-object of the following type:
{
"meta": <output of module command>
}
This allows the output to be JSON API conformant without modifying the
modules and allows incremental updates to code.
This is for backwards compatibility to allow current modules to use
the automatically compiled regex parameters. The enforcement should
be restored in a later version. A warning is output for every non-
enclosed regex.
Similar changes are also applied for QUOTED_STRING.
The PATCH method should now be used instead the PUT method to update
resources. As PUT request bodies should represent complete resources, the
use of PUT to update resources is no longer supported.
Altered tests to use PATCH instead of PUT for updating resources.
The `monitoruser` and `monitorpw` parameters were mislabeled as `monuser`
and `monpw`. To allow backwards compatibility, the `monuser` and `monpw`
still work as aliases for the correct commands.
The regex strings are compiled automatically. During file parsing,
the string is compiled once using default settings to check that
the pattern is valid. Once a module asks for the compiled pcre2_code,
the pattern is compiled again with module given settings.
The regex string in the config file should be enclosed within '/ ... /'
Allowing requests to be converted to raw HTTP requests allows them to be
propagated to other instances of MaxScale. This should allow multiple
MaxScales to perform the same action in a coherent manner.
A simple clustering mechanism needs to be added to make MaxScale aware of
other instances.
The module command self links now point to an endpoint that executes the
module command. Depending on the type of the module command, either a GET
or a POST request must be made.
A quoted string is a string enclosed in '"':s. This makes it clear
where the string begins and ends, avoiding ambiguity with whitespace.
After the config file has been loaded, the '"':s at the beginning
and at the end of the string are erased. Querying the config value
with config_get_string() will return this de-quoted value.
For example, if the config file reads 'my_string="test""', the actual
string will be 'test"'.
The /maxscale/ resource now supports PUT requests which modify core
parameters. As not all parameters can be changed at runtime, only
modifications to parameters that support runtime configuration are
allowed.
A set of the core MaxScale parameters can now be altered at runtime. This
set consists of the authentication timeouts and the admin interface
authentication. Other parameters either can't be modified due to internal
limitations or aren't sensible to modify at runtime.
The /users/ resource shows all user accounts that can be used with
MaxScale. This resource is further split into two resource collections,
/users/inet and /users/unix, which contain the network users and Linux
accounts respectively.
The REST API now uses the same users as MaxAdmin network interface. This
allows them to be created with MaxAdmin.
The next step is to add user creation to the REST API.
The runtime error buffer is now a thread-local buffer. This fixes the
build failure on older systems where the compiler doesn't allow
thread-local non-POD objects to be created.
Also expanded some of the JSON validation functions so that they provide
better errors.
The requests that send a body should define at least a `data` member.
Added a simple test that checks that bad requests are rejected. This test
should be expanded to check that the returned error body contains the
correct members.
This allows MaxScale to use the PATCH functionality that's only in the
newer versions of the library. It also removes some of the problems that
exist with older systems that don't support all of the options.
The template class wraps a HashMap such that only a few operations
are allowed. Usage requires specializing a RegistryTraits class
template for each entry type.
