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.
Replaces uses of config_get_param() in modules either with contains()
or get_string(). The config_get_param() is moved to internal headers,
as it allows seeing inside a config setting.
