Detailed Description

Database cluster connection, tracking, load balancing, and transaction manager interface.

A "cluster" is considered to be one primary database and zero or more replica databases. Typically, the replica DBs replicate from the primary asynchronously. The first node in the "servers" configuration array is always considered the "primary". However, this class can still be used when all or some of the "replica" DBs are multi-primary peers of the primary or even when all the DBs are non-replicating clones of each other holding read-only data. Thus, the role of "primary" is in some cases merely nominal.

By default, each DB server uses DBO_DEFAULT for its 'flags' setting, unless explicitly set otherwise in configuration. DBO_DEFAULT behavior depends on whether 'cliMode' is set:

  • In CLI mode, the flag has no effect with regards to LoadBalancer.
  • In non-CLI mode, the flag causes implicit transactions to be used; the first query on a database starts a transaction on that database. The transactions are meant to remain pending until either commitPrimaryChanges() or rollbackPrimaryChanges() is called. The application must have some point where it calls commitPrimaryChanges() near the end of the PHP request. Every iteration of beginPrimaryChanges()/commitPrimaryChanges() is called a "transaction round". Rounds are useful on the primary DB connections because they make single-DB (and by and large multi-DB) updates in web requests all-or-nothing. Also, transactions on replica DBs are useful when REPEATABLE-READ or SERIALIZABLE isolation is used because all foreign keys and constraints hold across separate queries in the DB transaction since the data appears within a consistent point-in-time snapshot.

The typical caller will use LoadBalancer::getConnection( DB_* ) to yield a live database connection handle. The choice of which DB server to use is based on pre-defined loads for weighted random selection, adjustments thereof by LoadMonitor, and the amount of replication lag on each DB server. Lag checks might cause problems in certain setups, so they should be tuned in the server configuration maps as follows:

  • Primary + N Replica(s): set 'max lag' to an appropriate threshold for avoiding any database lagged by this much or more. If all DBs are this lagged, then the load balancer considers the cluster to be read-only.
  • Galera Cluster: Seconds_Behind_Master will be 0, so there probably is nothing to tune. Note that lag is still possible depending on how wsrep-sync-wait is set server-side.
  • Read-only archive clones: set 'is static' in the server configuration maps. This will treat all such DBs as having 0 lag.
  • Externally updated dataset clones: set 'is static' in the server configuration maps. This will treat all such DBs as having 0 lag.
  • SQL load balancing proxy: any proxy should handle lag checks on its own, so the 'max lag' parameter should probably be set to INF in the server configuration maps. This will make the load balancer ignore whatever it detects as the lag of the logical replica is (which would probably just randomly bounce around).

If using a SQL proxy service, it would probably be best to have two proxy hosts for the load balancer to talk to. One would be the 'host' of the primary server entry and another for the (logical) replica server entry. The proxy could map the load balancer's "replica" DB to any number of physical replica DBs.

◆ getConnection()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\ILoadBalancer::getConnection (   $i,
  $groups = [],
  $domain = false,
  $flags = 0 
)

Get a live handle for a specific or virtual (DB_PRIMARY/DB_REPLICA) server index.

The server index, $i, can be one of the following:

  • DB_REPLICA: a server index will be selected by the load balancer based on read weight, connectivity, and replication lag. Note that the primary server might be configured with read weight. If $groups is empty then it means "the generic group", in which case all servers defined with read weight will be considered. Additional query groups can be configured, having their own list of server indexes and read weights. If a query group list is provided in $groups, then each recognized group will be tried, left-to-right, until server index selection succeeds or all groups have been tried, in which case the generic group will be tried.
  • DB_PRIMARY: the primary server index will be used; the same as getWriterIndex(). The value of $groups should be [] when using this server index.
  • Specific server index: a positive integer can be provided to use the server with that index. An error will be thrown in no such server index is recognized. This server selection method is usually only useful for internal load balancing logic. The value of $groups should be [] when using a specific server index.

Handles acquired by this method, getConnectionRef(), getLazyConnectionRef(), and getMaintenanceConnectionRef() use the same set of shared connection pools. Callers that get a local DB domain handle for the same server will share one handle for all of those callers using CONN_TRX_AUTOCOMMIT (via $flags) and one handle for all of those callers not using CONN_TRX_AUTOCOMMIT. Callers that get a foreign DB domain handle (via $domain) will share any handle that has the right CONN_TRX_AUTOCOMMIT mode and is already on the right DB domain. Otherwise, one of the "free for reuse" handles will be claimed or a new handle will be made if there are none.

Handle sharing is particularly useful when callers get local DB domain (the default), transaction round aware (the default), DB_PRIMARY handles. All such callers will operate within a single database transaction as a consequence. Handle sharing is also useful when callers get local DB domain (the default), transaction round aware (the default), samely query grouped (the default), DB_REPLICA handles. All such callers will operate within a single database transaction as a consequence.

Callers of this function that use a non-local $domain must call reuseConnection() after their last query on this handle executed. This lets the load balancer share the handle with other callers requesting connections on different database domains.

Use CONN_TRX_AUTOCOMMIT to use a separate pool of only auto-commit handles. This flag is ignored for databases with ATTR_DB_LEVEL_LOCKING (e.g. sqlite) in order to avoid deadlocks. getServerAttributes() can be used to check such attributes beforehand. Avoid using IDatabase::begin() and IDatabase::commit() on such handles. If it is not possible to avoid using methods like IDatabase::startAtomic() and IDatabase::endAtomic(), callers should at least make sure that the atomic sections are closed on failure via try/catch and IDatabase::cancelAtomic().

◆ getMaxLag()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\ILoadBalancer::getMaxLag (   $domain = false)

Get the name and lag time of the most-lagged replica server.

This is useful for maintenance scripts that need to throttle their updates. May attempt to open connections to replica DBs on the default DB. If there is no lag, the maximum lag will be reported as -1.

Parameters

◆ getReaderIndex()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\ILoadBalancer::getReaderIndex (   $group = false,
  $domain = false 
)

Get the specific server index of the reader connection for a given group.

This takes into account load ratios and lag times. It should return a consistent index during the life time of the load balancer. This initially checks replica DBs for connectivity to avoid returning an unusable server. This means that connections might be attempted by calling this method (usually one at the most but possibly more). Subsequent calls with the same $group will not need to make new connection attempts since the acquired connection for each group is preserved.

Parameters
string | bool$groupQuery group or false for the generic group
string | bool$domainDB domain ID or false for the local domain
Returns
int|bool Specific server index, or false if no live handle can be obtained

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\LoadBalancer.

Returns
string|bool Reason the primary is read-only or false if it is not

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\LoadBalancer.

◆ getReplicaResumePos()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\ILoadBalancer::getReplicaResumePos ( )

Get the highest DB replication position for chronology control purposes.

If there is only a primary server then this returns false. If replication is present and correctly configured, then this returns the highest replication position of any server with an open connection. That position can later be passed to waitFor() on a new load balancer instance to make sure that queries on the new connections see data at least as up-to-date as queries (prior to this method call) on the old connections.

This can be useful for implementing session consistency, where the session will be resumed across multiple HTTP requests or CLI script instances.

Returns
DBPrimaryPos|bool Replication position or false if not applicable

◆ getServerAttributes()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\ILoadBalancer::getServerAttributes (   $i)

Get basic attributes of the server with the specified index without connecting.

Parameters

◆ getServerConnection()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\ILoadBalancer::getServerConnection (   $i,
  $domain,
  $flags = 0 
)

Get a live handle for a specific server index.

This is a simpler version of getConnection() that does not accept virtual server indexes (e.g. DB_PRIMARY/DB_REPLICA), does not assure that primary DB handles have read-only mode when there is high replication lag, and can only trigger attempts to connect to a single server (the one with the specified server index).

string$domainResolved DB domain
int$flagsBitfield of class CONN_* constants
Returns

◆ hasReplicaServers()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\ILoadBalancer::hasReplicaServers ( )

Whether there are any replica servers configured.

This counts both servers using streaming replication from the primary server and servers that just have a clone of the static dataset found on the primary server

Returns
bool
Since
1.34

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\LoadBalancer.

◆ hasStreamingReplicaServers()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\ILoadBalancer::hasStreamingReplicaServers ( )

Whether any replica servers use streaming replication from the primary server.

Generally this is one less than getServerCount(), though it might otherwise return a lower number if some of the servers are configured with "is static". That flag is used when both the server has no active replication setup and the dataset is either read-only or occasionally updated out-of-band. For example, a script might import a new geographic information dataset each week by writing it to each server and later directing the application to use the new version.

It is possible for some replicas to be configured with "is static" but not others, though it generally should either be set for all or none of the replicas.

If this returns false, this means that there is generally no reason to execute replication wait logic for session consistency and lag reduction.

Returns
bool

◆ setIndexAliases()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\ILoadBalancer::setIndexAliases ( array  $aliases)

Convert certain index names to alternative names before querying the DB.

Note that this applies to indexes regardless of the table they belong to.

This can be employed when an index was renamed X => Y in code, but the new Y-named indexes were not yet built on all DBs. After all the Y-named ones are added by the DBA, the aliases can be removed, and then the old X-named indexes dropped.

Parameters

◆ setTableAliases()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\ILoadBalancer::setTableAliases ( array  $aliases)

Make certain table names use their own database, schema, and table prefix when passed into SQL queries pre-escaped and without a qualified database name.

For example, "user" can be converted to "myschema.mydbname.user" for convenience. Appearances like user, somedb.user, somedb.someschema.user will used literally.

Calling this twice will completely clear any old table aliases. Also, note that callers are responsible for making sure the schemas and databases actually exist.

◆ setTransactionListener()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\ILoadBalancer::setTransactionListener (   $name,

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\LoadBalancer.

◆ waitFor()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\ILoadBalancer::waitFor (   $pos)

Set the primary position to reach before the next generic group DB handle query.

If a generic replica DB connection is already open then this immediately waits for that DB to catch up to the specified replication position. Otherwise, it will do so once such a connection is opened.

If a timeout happens when waiting, then getLaggedReplicaMode()/laggedReplicaUsed() will return true. This is useful for discouraging clients from taking further actions if session consistency could not be maintained with respect to their last actions.

Parameters
DBPrimaryPos | bool$posPrimary position or false

◆ waitForAll()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\ILoadBalancer::waitForAll (   $pos,
  $timeout = null 
)

Set the primary wait position and wait for ALL replica DBs to catch up to it.

This method is only intended for use a throttling mechanism for high-volume updates. Unlike waitFor(), failure does not effect getLaggedReplicaMode()/laggedReplicaUsed().

Parameters
DBPrimaryPos | bool$posPrimary position or false
int | null$timeoutMax seconds to wait; default is mWaitTimeout
Returns
bool Success (able to connect and no timeouts reached)

◆ waitForPrimaryPos()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\ILoadBalancer::waitForPrimaryPos ( IDatabase  $conn,
  $pos = false,
  $timeout = 10 
)

Wait for a replica DB to reach a specified primary position.

If $conn is not a replica server connection, then this will return true. Otherwise, if $pos is not provided, this will connect to the primary server to get an accurate position.

Parameters
IDatabase$connReplica DB
DBPrimaryPos | bool$posPrimary position; default: current position
int$timeoutTimeout in seconds [optional]
Returns
bool Success
