Servers created at runtime can now be configured to use SSL. The
configuration is only possible if the server is not in use.
The `alter server` command in maxadmin now takes a list of `key=value`
strings. This allows the user to define multiple alter operations with one
command.
Server creation and allocation are now the same apart from the fact that
allocation only adds the server to the running configuration where as the
creation of a server also persist it to disk.
The server serialization should not be seen through the server.h API. This
allows the serialization method to change without actually having to
change the interfaces.
When a server is created via MaxAdmin, it will be serialized to disk. This
allows created servers to be retained through a restart of MaxScale.
Currently, all serialized objects are stored in one folder and there is no
structure in the created files. In the future, servers could be created
under a `servers` subdirectory so that it is easier to see what was
added. Whether there is a need for this will be seen.
The address, port, monuser and monpw parameters of an existing server can
be changed at runtime. The support for enabling SSL will come in a later
commit.
Allowing servers to be modified could also be done by destroying and
recreating them. Since the servers are never actually destroyed, it is
better to allow the alteration of the existing ones.
The `add server` command accepts a server name and either a service name
or a monitor name. It will add servers to services and monitors. Since all
monitors use the MONITOR_SERVER structures directly, the monitors need
to be stopped before new servers are added to them
The debugcmd parameter processing didn't actually allow the maximum number
of parameters to be passed to the function. The detailed help text was
never printed and most of them were only duplicates of the short
description.
Servers can now be added and removed from services which allows routers to
use them with new sessions. The routers don't fully use the new
functionality in the server references which prevents new servers from
being taken into use.
If shutdown has been initiated (via maxadmin or by sending a
SIGINT or SIGTERM) and a SIGTERM is received, the process
is terminated.
If shutdown has been initiated (via maxadmin or by sending a
SIGINT or SIGTERM) and a SIGINT (Ctrl-C) is received, a warning
is printed that shutdown is in progess. Then, if an additional
SIGINT is received, the process is terminated.
So, in practice:
- If MaxScale is running as a daemon, the first SIGTERM initiates
shutdown and a second one unconditionally terminates the process.
- If MaxScale is running in the console, the first Ctrl-C initiates
shutdown, the second prints a warning and the third terminates
the process.
This is to ensure that MaxScale can be forced to exit, in
case some thread is hung for whatever reason, and is thus preventing
the controlled shutdown.
The dbusers.c was a MySQL protocol specific file which was used directly
by some of the modules.
Added a new return value for the loadusers authenticator entry point which
allows fatal failures to occur when users are loaded. Currently this is
only taken into notice when the service is first started. If a listener
later returns a fatal error, it is only logged but the service stays in
operation.
Moved the MySQLAuth authenticator sources and the tests that relate to
this module into a subdirectory in the authenticator
directory. Eventually, all authenticators could have a subdirectory of
their own.
The general purpose stuff in skygw_utils.h was moved to utils.h
and the corresponding implementation from skygw_utils.cc to utils.c.
Includes updated accordingly.
Skygw_utils.h is now only used by log_manager and by mlist, which
is only used by log_manager. Consequently, skygw_utils.h was moved
to server/maxscale.
Utils.h needs a separate overhaul.
- 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.
- Headers now to be included as <maxscale/xyz.h>
- First step, no cleanup of headers has been made. Only moving
from one place to another + necessary modifications.
The authenticator modules now load the user data when the new loadusers
entry point is called. This new entry point is optional.
At the moment the code that was in service.c was just moved into the
modules but the ground work for allowing different user loading mechanisms
is done.
Further improvements need to be made so that the authenticators behave
more like routers and filters. This work includes the creation of a
AUTHENTICATOR module object, addition of createInstance entry points for
authenticators and implementing it for all authenticators.
Each router module now resides in a subdirectory of its own.
The name of the subdirectory is the same as the name of the
library in the module's CMakeLists.txt file.
