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.
The rank can now only be used to define two groups of servers: primary and
secondary servers. This limits the exposure and reduces the number of
possibilities that can arise from the use of this parameter thus making it
more predictable.
The helper function makes it easier to convert enum values at runtime to
their integer representation. Also changed the configuration processing
code to use the new function.
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.
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.
The `start services` and `stop services` command aliases now map to the
same command as `start maxscale` and `stop maxscale`. This should help
alleviate the confusion that the command naming caused.
The parameters are now written in the order they appear in the module
parameter definitions. Also enabled a previously disabled part in
server unit test.
This fixes some situations where MaxAdmin/MaxCtrl would block and wait
until a monitor operation or tick is complete. This also fixes a deadlock
caused by calling monitor diagnostics inside a monitor script.
Concurrency is enabled by adding one mutex per server object to protect
array-like fields from concurrent reading/writing.
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.
Was deprecated in 2.3. Similar features are in MariaDB-Monitor.
One system test was modified to use MariaDB-Monitor instead. Some parts
of the test are disabled for now to make it pass.
