Allocating the session before a DCB guarantees that at no point will a DCB
have a null session. This further clarifies the concept of the session and
also allows the listener reference to be moved there.
Ideally, the session itself would allocate and assign the client DCB but
since the Listener is the only one who does it, it's acceptable for now.
As each connection now immediately gets a session the dummy session is no
longer required. The next step would be to combine parts of the session
and the client DCB into one entity. This would prevent the possibility of
a client DCB with no associated session. Backend DCBs are different as
they can move from one session to another when the persistent connection
pool is in use.
If the startup of the listeners requires communication with all of the
workers, the workers must be up and running for that to happen.
Due to the fact that the main thread is still a worker thread, the
initialization code is not extra straightforward. By queuing an event to
the main worker, the startup of all listeners is done at a fully
operational state with all workers fully functional.
The service initialization code was also flawed in the sense that it would
cause a deadlock if any of the threads would have to check for the user
permissions. This is mainly a problem with the authenticator modules but
the benefits of the per service pre-loading of users is most likely
superficial. In theory startup will be faster as each thread now queries
the users in parallel.
By storing the reference in the DCB, the two-way dependency between the
listeners and services is severed. Now the services have no direct link to
listeners and after the destruction of a listener it will be freed once
all connections through it have closed.
Due to the fact that a listener itself has a DCB that must point to a
valid listener, a self-reference is stored in the listener DCB. This is
extremely confusing and is only here to keep the code functional until the
DCB part of the listener can be factored out.
By storing a shared pointer to the listeners in the services, they will be
available as long as the service using them exists. This enables clean
destruction of listeners that still have open sessions.
The listener creation code now separately creates the listener and links
it to the service. Also replaced relevant parts of the related code with
the listener implemented versions of it.
Whether or not a session should retain its statements is now
a property of the session. This in preparation for making the
whole functionality a property that can be enabled and disabled
at runtime, of the service.
As the router is the only one that knows what backends a particular
statement has been sent to, it is the responsibility of the router
to keep the session bookkeeping up to date. If it doesn't we will
know what statements a session has received (provided at least some
component in the routing chain has RCAP_TYPE_STMT_INPUT capability),
but not how long their processing took. Currently only readwritesplit
does that.
All queries are stored and not just COM_QUERY as that makes the
overall bookkeeping simpler; at clientReply() time we do not need to
know whether or not to bookkeep information, we can just do it.
When session information is queried for, we report as much information
we have available.
This commit introduces the plumbing support for obtaining
classification information of a statement using the REST-API.
It introduces a URL like
/v1/maxscale/query_classifier/classify?sql=SELECT+1
that in the response will return a JSON object with the
information. Subsequent commits will provide the actual
information.
The combined effort of all workers of updating EMAverage is needed for precision,
statistics and making parts of it adaptive (rather than hardcoded or configured).
The additions into the server.h header used C++ language which caused C
programs to fail to compile. Moved the implementation of the EMAverage
class into the private Server class in the server.hh header and exposed it
via functions in the server.h header. Also temporarily moved
almost_equal_server_scores into the public server.hh as there is no
service.hh header.
See script directory for method. The script to run in the top level
MaxScale directory is called maxscale-uncrustify.sh, which uses
another script, list-src, from the same directory (so you need to set
your PATH). The uncrustify version was 0.66.
Given that worker.hh was public, it made sense to make routingworker.hh
public as well. This removes the need to include private headers in
modules and allows C++ constructs to be used in C++ code when previously
only the C API was available.
The mxs::rworker_local<T> is a convenience type that provides fast read
access with thread-safe updates. It is intended to be used with data that
is read often but updated rarely e.g. configuration data for routers.
The services, monitors and filters now construct the JSON format
parameters from the configuration parameters. This reduces the need for
the amount of explicit operations and makes adding new parameters easier.
