The combined effort of all workers of updating EMAverage is needed for precision,
statistics and making parts of it adaptive (rather than hardcoded or configured).
The additions into the server.h header used C++ language which caused C
programs to fail to compile. Moved the implementation of the EMAverage
class into the private Server class in the server.hh header and exposed it
via functions in the server.h header. Also temporarily moved
almost_equal_server_scores into the public server.hh as there is no
service.hh header.
See script directory for method. The script to run in the top level
MaxScale directory is called maxscale-uncrustify.sh, which uses
another script, list-src, from the same directory (so you need to set
your PATH). The uncrustify version was 0.66.
The main piece of code, slave selection (backend_cmp_response_time), uses the available
method of pair-wise comparison of slaves. This will be changed to selection using all
available slaves, along with removal of hard coded values.
This is to support calculating the average from a session, and the slave selection criteria to be able to route based on averages. This commit, like the next one, have TODOs which you should feel free to comment on. Undecided things.
Given that worker.hh was public, it made sense to make routingworker.hh
public as well. This removes the need to include private headers in
modules and allows C++ constructs to be used in C++ code when previously
only the C API was available.
No longer depends on monitor events as the other operations do not
either. The active_event/new_event detection was removed, as these
only protect against a rare situation. A similar feature which
protects all the cluster modifications will be implemented later.
The config and JSON serialization of servers is now from the
parameters. As the server's use a different parameter type, a temporary
adapter was required. Eventually, a lock-free and globally safe way to
"disable" parameters is needed.
Uses mostly the status functions for reading the flags. Strickly
speaking this breaks the REST API since in some cases (status combinations)
the printed string is different from what was printed before.
Replaced the previous RESULTSET with the new implementation. As the new
ResultSet doesn't have a JSON streaming capability, the MaxInfo JSON
interface has been removed. This should not be a big problem as the REST
API offers the same information in a more secure and structured way.
Comparing two fixed std::strings would have equal C strings but comparing
with operator== they would be different. This was a result of the string
modification done by fix_object_name.
Converted the internal header into a C++ header, added std::string
overload and fixed use of the function.
The id has now been moved from mxs::Worker to mxs::RoutingWorker
and the implications are felt in many places.
The primary need for the id was to be able to access worker specfic
data, maintained outside of a routing worker, when given a worker
(the id is used to index into an array). Slightly related to that
was the need to be able to iterate over all workers. That obviously
implies some kind of collection.
That causes all sorts of issues if there is a need for being able
to create and destroy a worker at runtime. With the id removed from
mxs::Worker all those issues are gone, and its perfectly ok to create
and destory mxs::Workers as needed.
Further, while there is a need to broadcast a particular message to
all _routing_ workers, it hardly makes sense to broadcast a particular
message too _all_ workers. Consequently, only routing workers are kept
in a collection and all static member functions dealing with all
workers (e.g. broadcast) have now been moved to mxs::RoutingWorker.
Now, instead of passing the id around we instead deal directly
with the worker pointer. Later the data in all those external arrays
will be moved into mxs::[Worker|RoutingWorker] so that worker related
data is maintained in exactly one place.
