The helper function provides map-like access to row values. This is used
to retrieve the values for all MariaDB 10.0+ versions as there are
differences in the returned results between 10.1 and 10.2.
Using timestamps to detect whether MaxScale was active or passive can
cause problems if multiple events happen at the same time. This can be
avoided by separating events into actively observed and passively observed
events. This clarifies the logic by removing the ambiguity of timestamps.
As the monitoring threads are separate from the worker threads, it is
prudent to use atomic operations to modify and read the state of the
MaxScale. This will impose an happens-before relation between MaxScale
being set into passive mode and events being classified as being passively
observed.
The master failure can now be verified by checking when the slaves are
connected to the master. If the slaves do not receive any events from the
master, the connections are considered as down after a configurable limit.
Added two parameters for controlling whether the check is done and for how
long the monitor waits before doing the failover.
The slave heartbeat count and period are collected from the SHOW ALL
SLAVES STATUS output. This, in addition to the relay log position, is used
to calculate the point in time when a slave has last interacted with the
master.
By using this timestamp, the monitor can enforce a minimum "timeout" for
the master before a failover is performed.
Now SHOW ALL SLAVES STATUS reports new fields:
Retried_transactions;
Max_relay_log_size,
Executed_log_entries,
Slave_received_heartbeats,
Slave_heartbeat_period,
Gtid_Slave_Pos"
As the Avro C API depends on the Jansson library, the build scripts must
build it. This is not optimal as the Jansson version needs to be updated
in two places.
Currently binlog server doesn't send to slaves these event types:
- MARIADB10_START_ENCRYPTION_EVENT
- IGNORABLE_EVENT
It also skips events with LOG_EVENT_IGNORABLE_F flag.
This modification allows sending events with that flag.
The test wasn't built as it is not a part of the test suite. The
executable should be built but it should not be added to the test suite.
Changed the management script to only add the configuration and added a
call to it at the start of the test.
Moved mon_process_failover() from monitor.cc to mysql_mon.cc. Renamed
some functions and variables related to previous failover functionality
to avoid confusion.
The get_server_info function takes the monitor handle and a database and
returns the corresponding MYSQL_SERVER_INFO struct. This hides a part of
the actual implementation of the info struct from the monitor code,
allowing future refactoring to be done. It also makes the code a bit more
readable.
The values in the MYSQL_SERVER_INFO struct can now be updated with the
update_slave_status function.
Also moved the number of configured and running slave configurations into
the info struct. This removes the need to pass output parameters.
If something is SELECTed that should be cached for some, but not
for the current user, the cached entry it nevertheless updated.
That way the cached data will always be the last fetched value
and it is also possible to use this behaviour for explicitly
updating the cache entry.
The MYSQL_SERVER_INFO struct is updated first and then the server status
is updated. This allows the function to be called without it affecting the
server state.
The crash happens if the slave is not configured for replication or the
connection is broken when results are read. Adding missing return value
checks will fix it.
The JSON API specification states that all resources must support direct
modification of resource relationships by providing only the definition
for a particular relationship type to a /:type/:id/relationships/:type
endpoint.
The relevant part of the JSON API specification:
http://jsonapi.org/format/#crud-updating-to-many-relationships
The test did not properly move the relationships from the old monitor to
the new one. The test to passed as the relationship modification was not
really tested.
The CMake files in MaxScale automatically download the correct version of
the Jansson library when it is configured. The build scripts used the
default branch which can change.
When pre-parsing the configuration file, the existence of environment
variables is only done for the [maxscale] section. For other sections
a nicer error message is obtained if the comlplaint is made when the
configuration file is actually loaded.
Mechanism for providing custom error message from the pre-parsing
function added.
If 'substitute_variables' has been set to true, then the value of
a parameter like `some_param=$SOME_VAR' is replaced with the value
of the environment variable 'SOME_VAR'.
It is a fatal error to refer to a variable that does not exist.
With this variables set to true, if $VAR is used as a value in the
configuration file, then `$VAR` will be replaced with the value of
the environment variable VAR.
