A new class mxs::Worker will be introduced and mxs::RoutingWorker
will be inherited from that. mxs::Worker will basically only be a
thread with a message-loop.
Once available, all current non-worker threads (but the one
implicitly created by microhttpd) can be creating by inheriting
from that; in practice that means the housekeeping thread, all
monitor threads and possibly the logging thread.
The benefit of this arrangement is that there then will be a general
mechanism for cross thread communication without having to use any
shared data structures.
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.
As the stale status is not a real status bit and it's used to retain the
history of a master, there is no need to print it in any output. This
output will only confuse users now that the stale status will not be
cleared from masters that go down.
The internal header directory conflicted with in-source builds causing a
build failure. This is fixed by renaming the internal header directory to
something other than maxscale.
The renaming pointed out a few problems in a couple of source files that
appeared to include internal headers when the headers were in fact public
headers.
Fixed maxctrl in-source builds by making the copying of the sources
optional.
The timestamp of the last change from passive to active is now
tracked. This, with the timestamps of the last master_down and master_up
events, allows detection of cases when MaxScale was failed over but the
failover was not done.
Currently, only a warning is logged if no new master has appeared within
90 seconds of a master_down event and MaxScale was set to active from
passive.
The last event and when the event was triggered is now shown for all
servers. The latest change from passive to active is also shown.
Added missing SSL parameters to servers resource output as well as added
the processing of these parameters when servers are created. It is
preferable to define servers as either encrypter or plain and to prevent
the modification of this at runtime.
By moving the repurposing of the servers under the global server lock, the
repurposing of a server and allocation of a new server behave in the same
way.
Also fixed the wrong error message on server creation failure referring to
invalid server relationships.
The setting parsing is now similar to the other server settings.
The header is printed if log_info is on.
Changed the setting name to simply "proxy_protocol".
Updated documentation.
All resoures now use the `state` member to describe their internal
state. This includes servers, services and monitors. This means that the
`status` keyword can be reserved for something else and it can be removed
until it is needed again.
Changed the module maturity field to `maturity` to better describe its
purpose.
That allows the version to be updated and read atomically. If
major/minor/patch are stored as separate variables, you can get an
inconsistent set. Now it may be out of date by the time it is used,
but it will never be internally inconsistent.
The behaviour of the query classifier needs to be different
depending on the actual version of the server. There is already
a human readable string, but for programmatic use it needs to
be in a format that can easily be parsed.
With this change, it is no longer possible that the server version
is deallocated at the very moment it is read. There is still a race,
but it's mostly harmless.
The top level resource self links pointed to the collection instead of the
resource itself. The individual resoures now also have a links field that
contains the self link to the resource. This should make navigation of the
API easier as all objects have valid links in them.
The JSON objects that are created from the various core MaxScale objects
share a lot of common code. Moving this into a separate files removes the
redundant code.
Destroyed servers were still shown as a part of the servers resource
collection.
If a parameter defined in persisted configurations was replaced, the value
would be appended to itself after it was replaced.
Return correct error codes for internal errors.
The server check was checking for old parameter locations.
The `user`, `password`, `version_string` and `weightby` values should be
allocated as a part of the service structure. This allows them to be
modified at runtime without having to worry about memory allocation
problems.
Although this removes the problem of reallocation, it still does not make
the updating of the strings thread-safe. This can cause invalid values to
be read from the service strings.
A self link to the resource itself provides a convenient way for the
client to request a resource, modify it and call the self link to update
it. This removes some of the burden on the client to keep track of the
resource links by placing these in the resource itself.
The server can now be modified with a PUT request of a modified server
resource. The server resource was reorganized to have the parameters as a
separate entity from the other more general entities of the resource.
The PUT/POST functions return a more appropriate error message when no
request body is provided.
Moved some of the constant names used in server.cc into the config.h
header.
The parameter names for monitors and servers now use a set of constant
names. This removes some of the errors caused by spelling mistakes when
the same parameter name is repeated in multiple places.
The service, filter and listener parameters should also be converted to
constants. This allows for a consistent user experience.
The relationships from servers to services and monitors and filters to
services were not implemented. Now each server lists the services and
monitors that use it and each filter lists the services that use the
filter.
This enables the creation of a server and linking of that server to
services and monitors in one atomic operation.
When a resource has a relation to another resource, it should be expressed
as a working link to the resource. By passing the hostname of the server
to the functions, we are able to generate working relation links.
The old polling message system is obsolete now that the worker messages
are implemented. The old system was only used to clean up the persistent
connection pool of a server.
Adds a server-specific parameter, "use_proxy_protocol". If enabled,
a header string is sent to the backend when a routing session connection
changes state to MXS_AUTH_STATE_CONNECTED. The string contains the real
client IP and port.
