This number (defaults to 1) sets how many times mon_connect_to_db
will try to connect to a backend before returning an error. Every
connection attempt may take backend_connect_timeout seconds to
complete.
Also refactored code a bit. Renamed mon_connect_to_db to
mon_ping_or_connect_to_db, since it does not connect if the connection
is already alive.
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.
This is a list of servers, separated by commas. When queried as a
config setting, returns a null-terminated array of SERVER*:s. The
commit includes a serverlist parsing function, which should probably
be used anywhere a similarly formed string is parsed.
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.
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 header is divided into two parts, an external and an internal one. The
actual splitting is done in a later commit and this commit only prepares
the header for the split.
The type represents byte sizes used for configuring buffers and file
sizes. The supported suffixes for binary units are k, m, g and t in both
upper and lower case.
To test the configuration validation and default value generation, the
functions needed to be refactored to allow parameters to be passed
directly to the function.
When a monitor is created at runtime, it also needs to have the default
parameters. Ideally, this would be done when the monitor is allocated but
because of the way the configuration is processed, we need to do it after
user defined parameters are added.
If the enums are converted to the acutual enum values before they are
returned, this removes the need for the modules to process the enum
strings to enum values. This allows modules to use enumerations with
minimal effort.
The path type is validated if the module requested path
validation. Service checks can be done both on startup and at
runtime. This allows dynamic changes to module parameters to be validated
without a configuration context.
The declared parameters are now used to check whether the configuration is
valid. As the filters and monitors don't use the new declarations, the
code needs to be commented out. Once the parameter processing has been
migrated to the new system, the code can be enabled.
The MXS_MODULE structure now contains a member for parameters. This can be
used by the modules to declare accepted parameters, their types and the
default values. Currently only count, integer, boolean, string and enum
values are supported.
The functions allow simple operations on configuration context
objects. This makes it easier to understand what the code does and allows
reuse of the configuration processing code.
- STRERROR_BUFLEN moved to cdefs.h and renamed to MXS_STRERROR_BUFLEN.
Better would be to provide a 'const char* mxs_strerror(int errno)'
that would have a thread specific buffer for the error message.
- MIN and MAX also moved to defs.h as MXS_MIN and MXS_MAX.
- Now only mlist.h of the headers depend upon skygw_utils.h.
- All now include maxscale/cdefs.h as the very first file.
- MXS_[BEGIN|END]_DECLS added to all C-headers.
Strictly speaking not necessary for private headers, but
does not hurt either.
- Include guards moved to the very top of the file.
- #pragma once added.
