All routers except the binlogrouter now fully implement the JSON
diagnostic entry point. The binlogrouter needs to be handled in a separate
commit as it produces a large amount of diagnostic output.
General code cleanup. Routing error detection now more robust.
Remove some unused code. Debug messages now use "unique_name" when
referring to servers.
Supports hint types:
-master
-slave
-named server
-all
A default action, which is performed when no hint exists or on error,
can be set. The different actions are analogous to the hint types.
A maximum connection number for slaves can be set. If more slaves are
configured for the service, the filter will rotate slaves for new sessions.
Within a session with multiple slaves, the "route_to_slave"-hint will
also rotate among the slave backends.
The static module capabilities are now used to query the capabilities of
filters and routers. The new RCAP_TYPE_NOAUTH capability is also taken
into use. These changes removes the need for the `is_internal_service`
function.
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.
The hintrouter is now in principle capable of routing requests
to the master or to some slave (in a round robin fashion) based
upon hints set by some earlier filter.
Note that as the router is completely oblivious of transaction
boundaries, using it with transactions and autocommit being off
will not make anyone happy.
Recognizing transaction boundaries using regexes and then pinning
the server until transaction commit would be needed.
The routers no longer need to track the number of errors each DCB
receives. This is now done by the protocol modules.
The type of the DCB no longer needs to be checked in the handleError
implementation as the function is only called when a backend DCB fails.
