The master failure verification would not work if the slaves did not have
a state change since MaxScale had started. This can be fixed by treating
the startup of MaxScale as an event of sorts.
The auto_failover is a more reliable solution and should be used instead. Several
unused parameters were removed, although they can still be defined in the config
file. Updated documentation on the relevant parts.
The command is saved in a function object which is read by the monitor
thread. This way, manual and automatic cluster modification commands are
ran in the same step of a monitor cycle.
This update required several modifications in related code.
The monitor now detects when a server has changed such that a replication
graph rebuild is needed and only then rebuilds the graph and detects
cycles and master.
Also, some old code is no longer called in the monitor cycle. It will be
removed in later commits. Refactored some of the related functions.
Not yet used, as more is needed to replace the old code. The
algorithm is based on counting the total number of slave nodes
a server has, possibly in multiple layers and/or cycles.
This makes the code clearer and reduces race conditions, as the monitor
could be writing SERVER->status while a router is reading it. Also,
the time during which the SERVER struct is locked drops to a fraction.
Since monitors are now freed at MaxScale exit, the server data should be freed. Also,
gtid domain variables are now initialized with a common constant.
The updating of GTIDs was only considered successful if both the current
GTID position and binlog GTID positions were non-empty. If a slave has no
binlogged events, the GTID update would always fail.
This change in behavior caused the mysqlmon_failover_auto and
mysqlmon_failver_manual tests to break. The test disabled the binary log
on one of the servers which caused it to be left out from the rejoining
process.
The master down verification through slaves won't work with this commit. It needs to be
redesigned to handle multiple slave connections or removed. Also, only the first row of
slave status data is used by the monitor, so multiple slave connections are still
incorrectly handled.
5.1 to 5.3 are officially not supported anymore, so support can be removed from
the monitor. This allows removing the config parameter "mysql51_replication".
The functions do not set errno on all invalid input, so it's best to check
endptr.
Also, strtoll is now used for server id scanning through QueryResult.
MASTER_GTID_WAIT uses gtid_slave_pos when comparing to the target gtid. This creates
problems with multi-domain gtids. It's simpler to just query the server for its
gtids repeatedly. Also, the method is now in MariaDBServer.
Renamed the two gtid-classes to better match MariaDB documentation. One
domain-server-sequence-combination is now a "Gtid", as these identify
a transaction. A "GtidList" contains a list of Gtid:s for handling multi-domain
server variables composed of multiple comma separated Gtid:s.
Removed unused methods and renamed some existing ones. Moved the Gtid-code
to its own file.
The operations between Gtid:s are now more complicated so the class implements
them instead of the monitor. The Old Gtid-container has been renamed
GtidTriplet, and only stores the values for one triplet.
Also, the QueryResult integer reading method now only reads non-negative integers
since the server rarely returns negative values. This frees negative values for
indicating parsing error(s).
Gtid-class was moved back to utility.hh/.cc because the QueryResult-class requires it.
