The `user`, `password`, `version_string` and `weightby` values should be
allocated as a part of the service structure. This allows them to be
modified at runtime without having to worry about memory allocation
problems.
Although this removes the problem of reallocation, it still does not make
the updating of the strings thread-safe. This can cause invalid values to
be read from the service strings.
Preparation for adding KILL syntax support.
Session id changed to uint32 everywhere. Added atomic op.
Session id can be acquired before session_alloc().
Added session_alloc_with_id(), which is given a session id number.
Worker object has a session_id->SESSION* mapping, not used yet.
Removed pthread_self calls from the backend modules. This makes the debug
logging easier to parse when the messages aren't prefixed with the verbose
thread ID.
When statement based routing was used, it was possible that the current
statement being executed wasn't properly updated. Readwritesplit requires
it to track whether a command will create a response.
The static capabilities declared in getCapabilities allows certain
capabilities to be queried before instances are created. The intended use
of this capability is to remove the need for the `is_internal_service`
function.
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.
The core now provides a simple function to close a session. This removes
the need for the modules to directly call the API entry points when the
session should be closed. It is also in line with the style that other
objects, namely the DCBs, use. This makes the new session_close very
similar to dcb_close.
The client protocol module can resolve whether a password was used based
on the information the authenticators gather before authentication is
done. It uses the authentication token length as the basis on which it
makes the decision.
Currently the only situation where a user needs to be authenticated after
the initial authentication is when a COM_CHANGE_USER is being
executed. This was previously handled by directly calling a function in
the MySQLAuth authenticator.
The new entry in the API of the authenticators is very specific to MySQL
and should be reviewed once other protocols are added.
Refactored common code into a reusable function. Now all of the backend
error handling uses the same function.
Moved responsibility of the DCB error handling tracking to the backend
protocol. The routers no longer need to manage the
`dcb->dcb_errhandle_called` variable of the failed DCB.
Removed calls to handleError with client DCBs as parameters. All of the
routers close the DCB given to handleError if it is a client DCB. The only
time the error handler would be called is when the routeQuery function
fails. The handleError call is redundant as the router already knows that
the session should be closed when it returns from routeQuery.
Removed unused spinlocks from DCBs, sessions and the MySQL protocol
structs. They were used in a context where only one thread has access to
the structure.
Removed unused member variables from DCBs.
Currently the only situation where a user needs to be authenticated after
the initial authentication is when a COM_CHANGE_USER is being
executed. This was previously handled by directly calling a function in
the MySQLAuth authenticator.
The new entry in the API of the authenticators is very specific to MySQL
and should be reviewed once other protocols are added.
The transaction tracking now flags the transaction as open even when a
COMMIT/ROLLBACK is received. The next statement after the transaction is
closed resets the transaction state to inactive. This means that the end
of the transaction belongs in the transaction.
This allows all statements that belong to a transaction to be detected
with the transaction tracking functions provided by the core. With this,
the routing modules should have an easier time handling transactions.
When the transaction ends, it's good to know what type of a transaction
just ended. Currently, this will be used by readwritesplit to detect when
a read-only transaction ends.
All modules now declare a name for the module. This is name is added as a
prefix to all messages logged by a module. The prefix should help
determine which part of the system logs a message.
The MXS_MODULDE object now contains optinal pointers for functions
to be called att process and thread startup and shutdown. Since the
functions were added to the end, strictly speaking, all structures
would not have needed to have been modified, but better to be
explicit. In a subsequent change, these will be called.
C++ does not support flexible arrays, so for the time being C++
modules are restricted to 10 parameters. Better approach is to
factor out the parameters to a separate array and then just store
a pointer to that array in MXS_MODULE.
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.
The modules are now declared with a common macro. This allows future
additions to the module loading process while also making the loaded
symbol name a constant.
This allows modules to only expose one entry point with a consistent
signature. In the future, this could be used to implement declarations of
module parameters.
The transaction state only reflects explicitly started transactions.
Thus, by looking at the autocommit mode and the transaction state a
component can figure out whether the current statement will be committed
or not.
The transaction state must be updated after a buffer has been split
into buffer containing individual packets.
NOTE: The actual updating of the transaction state and the autocommit
mode is currently wrong, but will be updated in a subsequent change.
