The connections to servers being drained should not be closed like they
should be for servers in maintenance mode. The change in functionality
between 2.3 and develop caused the connections to be discarded if the
server was in either maintenance or drain mode.
Using a std::deque to store the queries retains the exact state of the
object thus removing the need to parse the query again. It also removes
the need to split the queue into individual packets which makes the code
cleaner.
Moved the more verbose parts of the routing code into subfunctions and
arranged it so that more relevant parts are closer to each other. Also
added the SQL statement that is being delayed to the message.
When a readwritesplit session has a connection to a master server, servers
of the same rank as the master are used. If no master connection is
available, the server with the highest rank among all connected servers is
used. If there are no open connections, the server with the best rank is
chosen and a connection to it is made.
Connections with different rank values than what is the current rank value
of the session will be discarded. This reduces the use of server with
different ranks when the master server of a session fails. Without the
active pruning of connections, slave connections to primary clusters
without masters would remain in use even after the primary master
fails. This guarantees full switchover to a secondary cluster if a master
change occurs.
If a master with a better rank and a slave with a worse rank were
available and master_accept_reads wasn't enabled, the slave would be
preferred over the master. The check for master_accept_reads was done
twice and also in the wrong place.
Although the default value is the maximum value of a signed 32-bit
integer, the value is stored as a 64-bit integer. The integer type
conversion functions return 64-bit values so storing it as one makes
sense.
Currently values higher than the default are allowed but the accepted
range of input should be restricted in the future.
Readwritesplit now respects server ranks. When servers are selected for
either routing or connection creation, the servers are partitioned by
their rank into sets of servers. These sets of servers are never mixed so
the end result is that only servers of the same rank are considered for
candidacy.
The master selection is slightly different: the server with the best rank
that is capable of acting as a master is chosen. This means that a session
can have a master with a lower rank and slaves with higher ranks than the
master. In most cases this actually is the preferred behavior as the rank
is used to prioritize usage but not outright prevent it.
The connection creation is now internal to RWSplitSession. This makes the
code more readable by removing the need to pass parameters and allowing
easier reuse of existing functions. The various conditions require to
create connections are now also checked in only one place.
Readwritesplit now picks the best available master if no open master
connection is available. This is required if the server rank is to be
taken into account when master selection is done.
If a routing of a queued query caused it to be put back on the query
queue, the order in which the queue was reorganized was wrong. The first
query would get appended as the last query which caused the order to be
reversed.
Th discarding of connections in maintenance mode must be done after any
results have been written to them. This prevents closing of the connection
before the actual result is returned.
The candidate selection code used default values that would cause reads
past buffers. The code could also dereference the end iterator which
causes undefined behavior.
Previously, runtime monitor modifications could directly alter monitor fields,
which could leave the text-form parameters and reality out-of-sync. Also,
the configure-function was not called for the entire monitor-object, only the
module-implementation.
Now, all modifications go through the overridden configure-function, which calls the
base-class function. As most configuration changes are given in text-form, this
removes the need for specific setters. The only exceptions are the server add/remove
operations, which must modify the text-form serverlist.
Queries in the query queue need to be explicitly parsed since they are
stored in a single buffer and thus share the query classification
information. In the next major version this should be changed into an
array of individual buffers instead of a shared buffer.
If a session command is executed when lazy_connect is enabled and no
connections have been created, a connection must be made. This makes sure
that the session isn't closed and that the client receives a response.
The lazy connection creation reduces the burden that short sessions place
on the backend servers. This also prevents the problems caused by early
disconnections that happen when only one server is used but multiple
connections are created. This does not solve the problem (MXS-619) but it
does mitigate it to acceptable levels.
This commit also adds a change to the weighting algorithm that prefers
existing connections over unopened ones. This helps avoid the
flip-flopping that happens when the absolute scores are very similar. The
hard-coded value might need to be tuned once testing is done.
The protocol should not track the session state as the parsing is quite
expensive with the current code. This change is a workaround that enables
the parsing only when required. A proper way to handle this would be to do
all the response processing in one place thus avoiding the duplication of
work.
Given the fact that there exist only three possible categories, the map
can be replaced with a static array that needs no memory
allocations. Making this array thread-local allows it to be reused which
places an upper limit on the number of memory allocations.
The documentation stated that at most `max_sescmd_history` commands were
kept but in reality the number of commands kept in the history was one
command smaller than what was documented.
