Cleaned up the headers, removed unused structures. Changed some members to
strings instead of char arrays. Switch to router templates should now be
easier.
The sharding implementation now uses a class to abstract the details of
the shard. This allows for different design where each session makes a
copy of the global shard map which is then used for the duration of the
session. In addition to making the desing a bit clearer to understand, it
also removes lock competition between threads.
Due to the change to C++, the main entry points need to be wrapped in the
exception-safety macros. The next step in the refactoring will be to use
the router template. This will remove the need to manually define them.
The schemarouter now uses the new session commands. It uses a standard
library container to manage the execution and storage of session commands.
The session command history is disabled until a more complete refactoring
can be done.
The static module capabilities are now used to query the capabilities of
filters and routers. The new RCAP_TYPE_NOAUTH capability is also taken
into use. These changes removes the need for the `is_internal_service`
function.
The static capabilities declared in getCapabilities allows certain
capabilities to be queried before instances are created. The intended use
of this capability is to remove the need for the `is_internal_service`
function.
The routers no longer need to track the number of errors each DCB
receives. This is now done by the protocol modules.
The type of the DCB no longer needs to be checked in the handleError
implementation as the function is only called when a backend DCB fails.
The highwater and lowwater callbacks were never registered for the client
DCBs in the binlogrouter.
The DCB hangup callbacks were never called by the core and were replaced
with fake hangup events in an earlier version.
Removed unused spinlocks from DCBs, sessions and the MySQL protocol
structs. They were used in a context where only one thread has access to
the structure.
Removed unused member variables from DCBs.
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.
All modules now declare a name for the module. This is name is added as a
prefix to all messages logged by a module. The prefix should help
determine which part of the system logs a message.
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.
The schemarouter now accepts all router_options values as parameters.
Also fixed a mistake in the documentation where the router options section
was listed twice.
The MXS_MODULDE object now contains optinal pointers for functions
to be called att process and thread startup and shutdown. Since the
functions were added to the end, strictly speaking, all structures
would not have needed to have been modified, but better to be
explicit. In a subsequent change, these will be called.
C++ does not support flexible arrays, so for the time being C++
modules are restricted to 10 parameters. Better approach is to
factor out the parameters to a separate array and then just store
a pointer to that array in MXS_MODULE.
The MODULE_INFO is now the main object which is used by modules to convey
information to the MaxScale core. The MXS_MODULE name is more apt as it
now contains the actual module definition.
The old MODULES structure was moved into load_utils.c as an internal
implementation and was renamed so that it is not confused with the new
MODULE structure.
The modules are now declared with a common macro. This allows future
additions to the module loading process while also making the loaded
symbol name a constant.
This allows modules to only expose one entry point with a consistent
signature. In the future, this could be used to implement declarations of
module parameters.
Using internal DCBs for query routing wasn't needed as the client DCB
could be used. This could also be done by simply routing the query again
with routeQuery.
Removed the use of the BACKEND structure and replaced it with the use of
the SERVER_REF structure of the service. This allows dynamic changes to be
made to the list of servers.
Cleaned up parts of the code and removed obsolete or useless
functions. The schemarouter module could do with some refactoring since it
derives from readwritesplit.
