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.
Before a query is routed to a backend, the status of the server reference
is checked. This allows the servers that are removed from a service to be
ejected from the list of active servers for active sessions.
The function serializes a server to a file. This is intended to be used
with dynamically created servers. The output of the server serialization
will eventually be stored in the configuration file directory (default is
/etc/maxscale.cnf.d/) so that created servers persist even after a
restart.
The createInstace, newSession, closeSession and freeSession functions were
cleaned up and reorganized to be a bit clearer for the reader. Removed
unnecessary comments and replaced them with ones that explain what's
happening in the code.
Removed unused linked lists from both sessions and instances and replaced
them with better alternatives. This should improve performance since new
session don't have to acquire the instance level lock to put themselves
into the session list.
Removed the use of the BACKEND structure and replaced it with the use of
the SERVER_REF structure of the service. This allows dynamic changes to be
made to the list of servers.
Cleaned up parts of the code and removed obsolete or useless
functions. The schemarouter module could do with some refactoring since it
derives from readwritesplit.
The BACKEND structure in readconnroute is now replaced with the use of the
SERVER_REF structure of the service. This allows dynamic changes to the
list of servers to be made.
The readwritesplit now understands that the amount of servers can change
and some of the items in the list of server references aren't in use. This
allows dynamic changes to the number of servers used by readwritesplit.
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.
If the user running MaxScale could open the .secrets-file and the
file permissions were anything other than owner:read, the
secrets_readkeys() would fail with error message
"Ignoring secrets file <path>, invalid permissions." Now the
message is more accurate in stating the expected permissions.
The qlafilter now has an option to log all messages to a single
file instead of session-specific files. Session ids are printed
to the beginning of the line when using this mode. Documentation
updated to match. Also, added an option to flush after every
write.
When persistent connections were used, it was possible that the injection
of COM_CHANGE_USER statements caused a crash when a DCB in the wrong state
was accessed.
For MySQL protocol modules, the `data` member of the client DCB points to
the shared session data, a MYSQL_session struct, but for sessions in the
persistent pool, it points to NULL. The boolean, `was_persistent`, tells
whether a DCB was just taken from the pool or it has been in use.
The `was_persistent` status wasn't properly reset for connections that
were put into the pool which caused a COM_CHANGE_USER statement to be
injected for stale connections in the pool which caused a crash when the
NULL `data` member was accessed.
Previously the session_id incrementation was done after creating
filters, giving the filters a constant zero value for session_id.
Now the incrementation happens before filter creation.
This allows safer lock-free reads to be done on lists that never shrink in
size. The main use-case for this is to allow servers to be added to a
service without locking the service each time a new session is created.
Synchronizing the memory before adding new components into a list
guarantees that if a session reads from the list and sees the new list
item, the memory pointed by the item is valid.
Function is no longer used and it was quite unoptimal, so now
removed.
qc_get_prepare_name, qc_get_prepare_operation and qc_get_field_info
that were missing from qc_dummy added at the same time.
The filter can detect SERVER_MORE_RESULTS_EXIST which means the server
is sending more result sets: example:
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS multi;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE multi() BEGIN
SELECT 1;
SELECT id FROM t2 limit 40;
set @a=4;
SELECT 2;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
MySQL> call multi()
The check for the success of the configuration file always resulted in a
successful return value even if the loading failed.
In addition to this, a log message referred to the active configuration
when the active configuration was set only after the processing was
complete. Since configuration failures are always fatal, there's no harm
in preemptively setting the active configuration to the one currently
being processed.
If a Galera node has a nonpositive priority, the node will never be chosen
as the master. This gives the user more control over how the master is
chosen.
The luafilter didn't use a format string with dcb_printf which can lead to
unexpected results if the returned string contains printf special
characters.
This function returns more detailed information about the fields
of a statement. Supersedes qc_get_affected_fields() that will
be deprecated and removed.
Note that this function now introduced new kind of behaviour; the
returned data belongs to the GWBUF and remains valid for as long as
the GWBUF is alive. That means that unnecessary copying need not
be done.
When a persistent connection is taken from the pool, the state is reset
with a COM_CHANGE_USER on the next write. This allows reuse of persistent
connections without having to worry about the state of the MySQL session.
Given a config file "config.cnf", we look for the directory
"config.cnf.d" and recursively in that hierarhcy load all files
whose suffix is ".cnf"; other files are ignored.
Currently duplicate sections are checked on a file by file basis.
That will be changed so that duplicate sections are not allowed
across all the files.
- First <maxscale/cdefs.h>
- Then all system, c-runtime, OS include files in alphabetical order.
- Then include files for "3rd-party" software in a loose order of
importance.
- Then maxscale headers ordered alphabetically.
