Data can now be stored on thread-local storage of the worker. By acquiring a unique handle from the worker, a module can store a thread-local value. This functionality will be used to store configurations that are sometimes updated at runtime but are largely read-only. By avoiding shared data altogether, performance is not affected. The only synchronization that is done is on update. Also added a helper functions for broadcasting tasks on all routing workers. With the old mxs_rworker_broadcast_message function, if a function call was broadcasted it was always queued for execution. The mxs_rworker_broadcast will immediately execute the task on the local worker and queue it for execution of other routing workers.
MaxScale by MariaDB Corporation
The MariaDB Corporation MaxScale is an intelligent proxy that allows forwarding of database statements to one or more database servers using complex rules, a semantic understanding of the database statements and the roles of the various servers within the backend cluster of databases.
MaxScale is designed to provide load balancing and high availability functionality transparently to the applications. In addition it provides a highly scalable and flexible architecture, with plugin components to support different protocols and routing decisions.
For a detailed overview of what MaxScale can do, read the MaxScale page on the MariaDB website.
An Google Group exists for MaxScale that can be used to discuss ideas, issues and communicate with the MaxScale community.
We're also on the #maria and #maxscale channels on FreeNode.
Please report all feature requests, improvements and bugs in the MariaDB Jira.
