The previous main routing worker is now run in a separate thread.
Next step is to treat all routing workers in an identical fashion.
MainWorker is not yet used for anything, but in a subsequent change
the old housekeeper functionality will be moved in top of MainWorker.
First step in the introduction of a MainWorker. When finished, all
routing workers will run in separate threads (currently one runs in
the main thread), and the main worker run in the main thread.
Housekeeper will disappear and to the extent housekeeping tasks are
needed (where applicable they will be changed into delayed calls)
they will be run by the main worker.
Most of the ones still remaining outside are special cases.
Also, removed locking from status manipulation functions as it
has not been required for quite some time.
The process of appending to a std::string always includes a size check in
case the internal storage needs to expand. Given that we know a
canonicalized version of a query string is never larger than the original
string and that we pre-allocate enough memory to cope with the worst-case
scenario, the extra logic in std::string::push_back is unnecessary and an
extra cost. Writing directly into the string avoids this cost and improves
the performance.
Switched from default character type functions to ones that use lookup
tables. Eliminated the internal state and replaced with in-place iteration
of the query. Added code to allow single-lookup detection of normal
characters.
The log message should now contain enough information to more easily debug
any configuration issues that result from updating the main config file
after runtime changes have been done.
Also fixed the theoretical race condition in detection of persisted
configuration files by only checking for their existence once.
By storing the server statistics object in side the session, the lookup
involved in getting a worker-local value is avoided. Since the lookup is
done multiple times for a single query, it is beneficial to store it in
the session.
As the worker-local value is never deleted, it is safe to store a
reference to it in the session. It is also never updated concurrently so
no atomic operations are necessary.
The code now only checks the need for a keepalive ping once every
keepalive interval. Reduced the number of mxs_clock calls to one so that
all servers use the same value.
All global parameters are now handled by the runtime configuration
modification code. The parameters that are trivial to update can now be
updated at runtime. All other global parameters cause a new error message
to be returned stating that the parameter in question cannot be modified
at runtime.
Also updated the list of modifiable parameters in MaxCtrl. This list
should not be stored in MaxCtrl and should be created by MaxScale at
runtime.
The prefix was always added even when the original version would've been
acceptable. For example, a version string of 5.5.40 would get converted to
5.5.5-5.5.40 which is quite confusing for older client applications.
