The monitor now detects when a server has changed such that a replication
graph rebuild is needed and only then rebuilds the graph and detects
cycles and master.
Also, some old code is no longer called in the monitor cycle. It will be
removed in later commits. Refactored some of the related functions.
This also applies to autoselect switchover. The disk space warning has the least
priority, as the other criteria could lead to replication failures. Also, print
the reason the new master was selected over the second best candidate.
Not yet used, as more is needed to replace the old code. The
algorithm is based on counting the total number of slave nodes
a server has, possibly in multiple layers and/or cycles.
MonitorInstanceSimple is intended for simple monitors that
probe servers in a straightforward fashion. More complex monitors
can be derived directly from MonitorInstance.
Start/stop now provided by MonitorInstance. The thread main
function is now virtual and overriden by MariaDBMonitor. Some
additional refactoring is necessary in order to be able to allow
MonitorInstance to handle the main loop.
This makes the code clearer and reduces race conditions, as the monitor
could be writing SERVER->status while a router is reading it. Also,
the time during which the SERVER struct is locked drops to a fraction.
Since monitors are now freed at MaxScale exit, the server data should be freed. Also,
gtid domain variables are now initialized with a common constant.
StartMonitor() now takes a MXS_MONITOR_INSTANCE and returns
true, if the monitor could be started and false otherwise.
So, the setup is such that in createInstance(), the instance
data is created and then using startMonitor() and stopMonitor()
the monitor is started/stopped. Finally in destroyInstance(),
the actual instance data is deleted.
The following type name changes
MXS_MONITOR_OBJECT -> MXS_MONITOR_API
MXS_SPECIFIC_MONITOR -> MXS_MONITOR_INSTANCE
Further, the 'handle' instance variable of what used to be
called MXS_MONITOR_OBJECT has been renamed to 'api'.
An example, what used to look like
mon->module->stopMonitor(mon->handle);
now looks like
mon->api->stopMonitor(mon->instance);
which makes it more obvious what is going on.
CreateInstance() (renamed from initMonitor()) and destroyInstance()
(renamed from finishMonitor()) have now tentatively been
implemented for all monitors.
Next step is to
1) change the prototype of startMonitor() to
bool (*startMonitor)(MXS_SPECIFIC_MONITOR*,
const MXS_MONITOR_PARAMETER*);
and assume that mon->handle will always contain the
instance,
2) not delete any data in stopMonitor(),
3) add monitorCreateAll() that calls createInstance() for all
monitors (and call that in main()), and
4) add monitorDestroyAll() that calls destroyInstance() for
all monitors (and call that in main()).
Instead of using void there's now a MXS_SPECIFIC_MONITOR struct
from which monitor specific types can be derived. This change
does not bring about other benefits than a bit of clarity but
this is the first step in clearing up the monitor API.
Autoselection is allowed for current master only, or both current and new master.
Autoselection is not allowed for just the new master.
Also, do_switchover() writes to its parameters when autoselecting for
better error messages.
