In preparation for Worker::post() to be renamed to Worker:execute().
The concept of _posting_ will be reserved to mean the transfer of
something over the message queue to the worker for processing and
nothing else.
This is the first step in some cleanup of the Worker interface.
The execution mode must now be explicitly specified, but that is
just a temporary step. Further down the road, _posting_ will
*always* mean via the message loop while _executing_ will optionally
and by default mean direct execution if the calling thread is that
of the worker.
The 'events' and 'script' config values were defined for every monitor.
Removed the extra definitions and moved the variables to MXS_MONITOR.
MariaDBMonitor was printing config values a second time, they are
already printed by the caller.
Moved the events enum definition to the internal header since it's no longer
required by modules.
Added a default config setting "all" to 'events' to clarify that it enables
all events.
The function has use outside of the monitors as it makes execution of
worker tasks much more convenient. Currently, this change only moves the
code and takes it into use: there should be no functional changes.
The monitor can now differentiate between slaves with a running
series of slave connections to the master from slaves with broken
links. Both still get the SERVER_SLAVE-flag if 'detect_stale_slave'
is on.
Also, relay servers must be running.
If auto_failover is disabled and an alternative master exists, the
monitor will swap the master. This may break replication, but the
situation requires that the dba has set up a cluster with multiple
masters.
MariaDBMonitor diagnostics printing is unsafe as some of the read
fields are arrays. To be on the safe side, the fields are now read
in the monitor worker thread.
Since diagnostics must work even for stopped monitors, a worker task
is used. In practice, it usually runs when the monitor is sleeping.
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.
MonitorInstanceSimple is intended for simple monitors that
probe servers in a straightforward fashion. More complex monitors
can be derived directly from MonitorInstance.
Tracking how many times the monitor has performed its monitoring allows
the test framework to consistently wait for an event instead of waiting
for a hard-coded time period. The MaxCtrl `api get` command can be used to
easily extract the numeric value.
Start/stop now provided by MonitorInstance. The thread main
function is now virtual and overriden by MariaDBMonitor. Some
additional refactoring is necessary in order to be able to allow
MonitorInstance to handle the main loop.
