Moved some typedefs to router.h and server.h, changed a few
constants to these enums. Renamed some types in config.h to
remove "Gateway".
There are still some functions in the public header which are
only used in core, but they seem to fit the theme of public functions
so were not moved.
The external config.h header defined functions and structures that are
intended to be used by modules. The internal header contains functions
that are used only by the MaxScale core.
- All (but the printing/debug functions) are now in snake_case.
- Functions made const correct.
- All function prototypes now have named arguments.
Documentation still to be moved, and file possibly split into
include/mascale/server.h and server/core/maxscale/server.h
Filters, monitors and routers can now declare parameters and those
parameters will always be present. Currently, this removes the need to
parse simple values like booleans and integers.
Some of the more common parameter types could be added in the future
e.g. paths to files.
Using the unique ID for the session is easier to use than an address. This
also allows the removal of all pointer values from the maxadmin output
which is never useful to the end user.
The server weighting parameters couldn't be altered online and they
weren't serialized to disk. Only servers that are created online will have
their weighting parameters persisted to disk.
MXS-1060. In MaxAdmin, running "list services" will now list the
backends of each service. When running "show services", the backend
names are now printed (previously just the addresses and protocols).
When the listeners were created twice, MaxScale would crash when the users
were loaded. This is caused by the fact that the DCB for the listener is
NULL for failed listeners.
Adding a server to multiple monitors is forbidden. This should be detected
and reported to the end user.
The information provided by the config_runtime system to the client isn't
as detailed as it could be. Some sort of an error message stack should be
added so that client facing interfaces could properly report the reason
for the failure. Currently the only way to detect the reason of the
failure is to parse the log files.
Router and filter instances cannot be destroyed before all worker
threads have exited. Otherwise there is a risk that data gets deleted
while someone might still be accessing it. Further, since all router
and filter instances are created by the main-thread it is better that
they are deleted by that thread as well (and not by whichever thread
happens to execute service_shutdown()). That will reduce the risk that
some unknown assumptions are violated.
The service header in include/maxscale/ contains the public part of the
service API. These functions can be safely used by the modules.
The internal header located in service/core/maxscale/ is used by the core
to initialize MaxScale at startup or to provide other services in a more
controlled way (the config_runtime, for example).
The listeners aren't really destroyed and are only stopped. Further
changes are required so that they won't be started again once they have
been destroyed.
The created listeners are now stored to disk like created servers
are. This allows them to be used even after a restart.
Currently, the listeners cannot be deleted and need to be manually
removed.
The config_runtime.h header contains functions that can be used to
manipulate the running configuration. Currently the header contains the
function to create, add, remove and destroy servers.
The code that checked whether a server was added to a service did not
check whether the server reference was active. This caused problems when
an old server was added again to a service that once had used it.
When a service is added or removed from a service, a supplementary
configuration file is created. This allows MaxScale to survive restars and
unexpected downtime even if runtime changes to the servers of a service
have been made.
With these changes, it is possible to start MaxScale without any servers,
create servers, add the created servers to services and monitors and
restart Maxscale without losing the runtime configuration changes.
The checks for the server active status are now hidden behind a
macro. This allows for the conditions of the activity to change without
having to alter the code that uses it.
The MySQL Monitor did not reset the pointer to the root master reference
which would lead to a crash if the master was removed.
When service details were shown, it listed all servers that existed. Only
servers that haven't been removed or destroyed should be shown.
MaxScale can now start without any defined monitors. This allows the core
services to be configured beforehand. With the changes to dynamic
modifications to servers, automatic scaling of slaves is possible.
Servers can now be added and removed from services which allows routers to
use them with new sessions. The routers don't fully use the new
functionality in the server references which prevents new servers from
being taken into use.
