Transaction boundaries can now be detected using regexes.
All else being equal, it gives a 10% performance improvement
compared to qc-based detection.
In a subsequent change, mysql_client.c will be modified to use
qc_get_trx_type_mask() instead of qc_get_type_mask().
Currently the use of regex matching is turned on using an
environment variable. That will change.
Moved some typedefs to router.h and server.h, changed a few
constants to these enums. Renamed some types in config.h to
remove "Gateway".
There are still some functions in the public header which are
only used in core, but they seem to fit the theme of public functions
so were not moved.
- All (but the printing/debug functions) are now in snake_case.
- Functions made const correct.
- All function prototypes now have named arguments.
Documentation still to be moved, and file possibly split into
include/mascale/server.h and server/core/maxscale/server.h
The MODULE_INFO is now the main object which is used by modules to convey
information to the MaxScale core. The MXS_MODULE name is more apt as it
now contains the actual module definition.
The old MODULES structure was moved into load_utils.c as an internal
implementation and was renamed so that it is not confused with the new
MODULE structure.
- Move docs from buffer.c to buffer.h
- Arguments made const-correct.
gwbuf_length
gwbuf_count
gwbuf_copy_data
- Boolean return values changes from int to bool.
gwbuf_add_property
- Meaningless returnvalue changed from int to void.
gwbuf_add_hint
- Unused function removed.
gwbuf_clone_transform
gwbuf_trim
gwbuf_clone cloned only the first buffer of a chain of buffers,
which never can be the desired outcome, while gwbuf_clone_all
cloned all buffers.
Now, gwbuf_clone behaves the way gwbuf_clone_all used to behave
and gwbuf_clone_all has been removed.
MXS-873 To prevent monitors and MaxAdmin from interfering with each other,
changes to the server status flags now happen under a lock. To avoid
interfering with monitor logic, the monitors now acquire locks to all
of their servers at the start of the monitor loop and release them
before sleeping.
Aligning the statistics object indices to cache line size reduces the CPU
overhead of gathering the statistics. This allows the statistics to more
accurately measure the polling system without the measurement affecting
the outcome.
This commit introduces safe session references that can be handled without
holding locks. This allows the safe searching of sessions with the unique
ID of the session.
Remove the use of raw pointers passed as strings. Change the comments of
the argument types and add more details to the parsing function
documentation.
Because each thread has their own epoll file descriptor and only one
thread can process a DCB, it makes sense to move to a per thread zombie
queue. This removes one of the last restrictions on scalability.
The service header in include/maxscale/ contains the public part of the
service API. These functions can be safely used by the modules.
The internal header located in service/core/maxscale/ is used by the core
to initialize MaxScale at startup or to provide other services in a more
controlled way (the config_runtime, for example).
The created listeners are now stored to disk like created servers
are. This allows them to be used even after a restart.
Currently, the listeners cannot be deleted and need to be manually
removed.
The server test used the wrong name.
MySQL users test loaded multiple modules in one function call and wasn't
appropriate for an internal test suite test as it requires a working
installation.
The cache filter didn't set the library paths before trying to load
modules.
The binlogrouter was missing a NULL check which caused a crash.
DCBs and SESSIONs can be passed either as raw pointers or as the string
representations of them.
The preferred way to pass them is to use the raw pointer types. This
removes the need to convert the pointer to string form and back.
The modulecmd_foreach function allows commands to be iterated without having
to manage the locking of the system. This allows the commands to be easily
iterated and gathered into filtered lists without having to build it into
the module command system itself.
The modules can now return human-readable error messages to the caller of
the function. The internals of the modulecmd system also use this to
return errors to the users.
The error messages can be retrieved with a common error function which
should make it easy to use in various clients.
A module can register a function to a domain. These function can then be
called by external actors enabling the modules to expand their
functionality beyond the module API. Each module should use its own domain
e.g the library name.
Currently, the functions do not return results. The possible next step
would be to alter the function entry point to return a result set of
sorts. This would allow the modules to convey structured information to
the client information which would handle the formatting of the result.
Although this sounds good, it is not required for the implementation of
MXS-929.
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 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.
Some of the tests depended on a working installation where modules are all
located at the default paths. These tests now explicitly set the module
directory which fixes the immediate problem.
Disabled the starting of services in the service test as this will fail
with real modules. The dummy internal modules aren't build and should be
removed in a later commit. In general, it might be better to do service
level testing outside the internal test suite.
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.
