Now that the readwritesplit uses the same mechanism for both
retry_failed_reads and delayed query retries, the re-routing function
should accept a delay of 0 seconds. This makes the mechanism more suitable
for other uses e.g. delaying of queries in filters.
The `error` variable was never used. Also added a more convenient typedef
for both the downstream and upstream functions and updated filter API
version.
The tasks themselves now control whether they are executed again. To
compare it to the old system, oneshot tasks now return `false` and
repeating tasks return `true`.
Letting the housekeeper remove the tasks makes the code simpler and
removes the possibility of the task being removed while it is being
executed. It does introduce a deadlock possibility if a housekeeper
function is called inside a housekeeper task.
The class now does all of the work and the API wraps the calls to the
member methods. Using an STL container makes the list management a lot
more convenient.
The old hkheartbeat variable was changed to the mxs_clock() function that
simply wraps an atomic load of the variable. This allows it to be
correctly read by MaxScale as well as opening up the possibility of
converting the value load to a relaxed memory order read.
Renamed the header and associated macros. Removed inclusion of the
heartbeat header from the housekeeper header and added it to the files
that were missing it.
This is a proof-of-concept that validates the query retrying method. The
actual implementation of the query retrying mechanism needs more thought
as using the housekeeper is not very efficient.
The code for figuring out the where to send a statement does no
longer depend upon RWSplitSession but only on QueryClassifier.
So now the functionality can be moved into QueryClassifier after
which further cleanup and streamlining can be done.
When the connection pool is inspected, both the client username and IP
must match. This causes the pool to be partitioned by username and IP,
prevening unintentional sharing of connections between different users.
This is the first step in providing a QueryClassifier class
that is capable of performing context dependent query classification,
where the context is essentially the session state.
The get_backend_from_dcb function needs to check that the backend is in
use before comparing the pointer. This prevents stale pointers from being
used and is logically more sound than relying on raw DCB matches.
The session command history is now compacted to contain only the first and
last execution of a session command. This should still allow most of the
more eccentric use-cases of user variables while keeping the session
command history smaller.
Added some convenience functions into the SessionCommand class to make the
pruning process easier.
Moved session command execution into the Backend class itself as the
session commands are defined as a related part of it. This allows all
connections to execute session commands if some are available.
Removed explicit SERVER_REF usage in the readwritesplit connection
creation code and replaced it with SRWBackend. This allows the removal of
the get_root_master_backend function which duplicated the functionality in
get_root_master.
The Backend::dcb() method gives the raw pointer to the internal DCB. This
pointer is used by at least readwritesplit to map raw DCB pointers to
backends. To prevent stale pointers from being returned, m_dcb needs to be
set to NULL after it has been closed.
From a practical perspective it makes no relevant difference
whether you have to add an entry to the config file and restart
maxscale or if you have to restart maxscale and provide a specific
command line, so better to provide just either possiblity.
More important would be to provide a way for turning this feature
on and off at runtime.
With the configuration entry
dump_last_statements=[never|on_close|on_error]
you can now specify when and if to dump the last statements
of of a session.
With the configuration entry
retain_last_statements=<unsigned>
or the debug flag '--debug=retain-last-statements=<unsigned>',
MaxScale will store the specified number of last statements
for each session. By calling
session_dump_statements(session);
MaxScale will dump the last statements as NOTICE messages.
For debugging purposes.
If a MaxScale-generated configuration defines an empty value, it is
ignored with the assumption that the next modification will cause the
problem to correct itself.
Disabling the session cache prevents errors from being generated as the
default OpenSSL configuration is to enable session caching but with an
uninitialized context ID. In addition to preventing the errors, it
prevents the possible security problems implicated by the definition a
"static" context ID.
- session_set_response() made const correct
- set_response() function added to mxs::FilterSession; calls
session_set_response().
- Cache uses set_response() for delivering the cache result
to the client.
