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.
Queries in the query queue need to be explicitly parsed since they are
stored in a single buffer and thus share the query classification
information. In the next major version this should be changed into an
array of individual buffers instead of a shared buffer.
Always storing runtime configuration changes prevents problems when the
change causes another parameter to change. One example of this is
transaction_replay that implicitly enables other parameters.
If a DCB was closed and a hangup event was sent to it via
dcb_hangup_foreach shortly after it was closed, the DCB would still
receive it even if it was closed. To prevent this, events must only be
delivered to DCBs if they haven't been closed.
If a session command is executed when lazy_connect is enabled and no
connections have been created, a connection must be made. This makes sure
that the session isn't closed and that the client receives a response.
The lazy connection creation reduces the burden that short sessions place
on the backend servers. This also prevents the problems caused by early
disconnections that happen when only one server is used but multiple
connections are created. This does not solve the problem (MXS-619) but it
does mitigate it to acceptable levels.
This commit also adds a change to the weighting algorithm that prefers
existing connections over unopened ones. This helps avoid the
flip-flopping that happens when the absolute scores are very similar. The
hard-coded value might need to be tuned once testing is done.
