When a backslash is encountered, the backslash should not be
copied but only the character after that.
For the sake of completeness, a few more characters would have
to be handled explicitly, but as the content of a string will not
affect the statement's classification there is not much point in
doing that.
MXS-843. When a monitor executes an external script in response to
a server event, the execution is logged to the MaxScale main log.
Previously, the log message only contained the script name as given
in the configuration file. Now, the message contains the script name
and argument values as given to the execvp-call.
DCBs and SESSIONs can be passed either as raw pointers or as the string
representations of them.
The preferred way to pass them is to use the raw pointer types. This
removes the need to convert the pointer to string form and back.
The modulecmd_foreach function allows commands to be iterated without having
to manage the locking of the system. This allows the commands to be easily
iterated and gathered into filtered lists without having to build it into
the module command system itself.
The modules can now return human-readable error messages to the caller of
the function. The internals of the modulecmd system also use this to
return errors to the users.
The error messages can be retrieved with a common error function which
should make it easy to use in various clients.
A module can register a function to a domain. These function can then be
called by external actors enabling the modules to expand their
functionality beyond the module API. Each module should use its own domain
e.g the library name.
Currently, the functions do not return results. The possible next step
would be to alter the function entry point to return a result set of
sorts. This would allow the modules to convey structured information to
the client information which would handle the formatting of the result.
Although this sounds good, it is not required for the implementation of
MXS-929.
When C and C++ are mixed in a project, main() should be compiled
as C++ to ensure that all C++ static initializations are performed
properly. That may not be strictly true anymore, depending on the
used compiler and environment, but better to do that to be on the
safe side.
Since it's a cache, we do not need to retain the data from one
MaxScale invocation to the next. Consequently, we can turn off
write ahead logging completely if we simply wipe the RocksDB
database at each startup. In addition, the location of the
cache directory can now be specified explicitly, so it can be
placed, for instance, on a RAM disk.
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.
This commit adds a free() to null_auth_free_client_data, which plugs
the memory leak in maxinfo.
Also, this commit fixes some segfaults when multiple threads are
running status_row() or variable_row(). The functions use
statically allocated index variables, which often go out-of-bounds
in concurrent use. This fix changes the indexes to thread-specific
variables, with allocating and deallocating. This does seem to slow
the functions down somewhat.
Sqlite3 performs some lazy initialization, during which it internally
parses some SQL statements of its own. Earlier there was detection code
for noticing that, but it was costly and errorprone.
Now, sqlite3 is forced to perform the initialization at startup so that
we no longer need any detection code.
With 2.0.1 or earlier, if a statement contains a trailing NULL,
the statement will inside qc_sqlite.c incorrectly be assumed not
to be the one to be classified with a crash being indirectly the
result.
The code for the utility is now stored in a separate file. This also
removes the need to include testing headers from other directories.
Also added a function to reload rules that uses the newly modified rule
parsing mechanism. This can be used later on to update the rules at
runtime.
The maxadmin interface to add servers to objects now allows a maximum of
11 objects to be listed. This will make it simpler to add a server to both
a monitor and a service in one command.
The object names in the dbfwfilter weren't very descriptive and were not
that easy to comprehend. The same goes for function names which had
somewhat cryptic names.
If a master once had slaves and is in the stale status, it will not retain
this status after a restart. Without storing on-disk information, the
stale master status cannot be deduced by looking at the master
alone. Because of this, the user should be able to manually enable the
stale master status.
This fix allows the gap detection and the writing of an IGNORABLE event
only if master_event_state == BLR_EVENT_DONE.
Note: The hole is not being created if the event is bigger than 16MB
With the use_sql_variables_in=master option, readwritesplit should route
all user variable modifications and reads with user variables to the
master.
Previously, the modification of user variables was grouped into generic
system variables which caused all modifications to system variables to go
to the master only. The router requires a finer grained distiction between
normal system variable modifications and user variable modifications.
With the improvements to the query classifier, readwritesplit now properly
routes all user variable operations to the master and other system
variable modifications to all servers.
The listen() backlog is now set to INT_MAX which should guarantee that the
internal limit is always higher than the system limit. This means that the
length of the queue always follows /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_max_syn_backlog.
With the advent of qc_get_field_info, columns can now be matched.
However, there is still some undeterminism caused by the table
information not containing contextual information (exactly where
is the table used).
Further, suppose table X contains the column A and table Y contains
the column B, then given a statement like
SELECT a, b from X, Z;
we cannot know whether a is in X or Z, or b in X or Z, without being
aware of the schema, which we currently are not.
Consequently, as long as MaxScale is not aware of the schema, some
heuristics must be applied. For instance, if exactly one table is
referred to, then we can assume that columns that are not explicitly
qualified are from that table.
The rule tests are currently rather rudimentary and need to be
expanded.
When a connection to the master fails, readwritesplit should always treat
it the same way. Previously, if a connection to the master was lost but it
hadn't lost the master status, the failure would be treated like a slave
server failure.
When a server is created in server_create, it sets the port to the default
of 3306 if no explicit port is defined. The code that called this function
still expected a minimum of three arguments: name, address and port.
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.
When a server is added to a monitor, an supplementary configuration file
is generated to persist this information. This will allow dynamic
modifications to server lists which will survive restarts and unexpected
downtime.
The monitor will only add new servers to its list of monitored
servers. This prevents duplicate entries in the list and makes it safe to
persist all used servers to the supplementary configuration file instead of only the ones that are not listed in the main configuration.
