Basic structure

Basic structure

Spider's HA structure is composed ofdata nodes, spider nodes and monitoring nodes.

Spider nodes

The part of structure

- Data nodesData nodes store real data.Each data node that linked same Spider table store same data.(like RAID 1)

- Spider nodesThe entrance of user access.Spider nodes offer load balance, fail over and transparently access todata node.

- Monitoring nodesMonitoring nodes monitor data nodes.

Monitoring parameters- monitoring_bg_interval(mbi)

Interval of background monitoring.(microsecond)The default value is 10000000

- monitoring_bg_kind(mbk)The kind of background monitoring.0 : It doesn't monitor.1 : It monitors state of connection.2 : It monitors state of a table without where clause.

The default value is 0

Monitoring parameters- monitoring_kind(mkd)

The kind of monitoring.0 : It doesn't monitor.1 : It monitors state of connection.2 : It monitors state of a table without where clause.

The default value is 0

- monitoring_limit(mlt)The limititation of records at monitoring table.(Only when monitoring_kind is bigger than 1, it is effective.)0 or more : Number of limitation.The default value is 1

- monitoring_server_id(msi)The server_id of monitoring MySQL server.The default value is self server_id

How to set up HAwithout stopping the service

How to set up HA

Spider can set up HA by each table.

Here, I will explain how to set up HA,without stopping service.

Initial Structure

There are 1 MySQL server with Spider and 1 remote MySQL server without Spider.

DB2

DB1tbl_a

tbl_a

Create table tbl_a (col_a int,col_b int,primary key(col_a)

) engine = SpiderConnection ‘table “tbl_a”,user “user”,password “pass”,host “DB2”‘;

Create table tbl_a (col_a int,col_b int,primary key(col_a)

) engine = InnoDB;

DB1

Step 1

Add new data nodes(DB3 and DB4) and tables.

DB2

tbl_a

tbl_aDB3tbl_a

DB4tbl_a

Create table tbl_a (col_a int,col_b int,primary key(col_a)

) engine = InnoDB;

DB1

Step 2

Add new monitoring nodes(DB5, DB6, DB7) and tables.

DB5tbl_a

Create table tbl_a (col_a int,col_b int,primary key(col_a)

) engine = SpiderConnection ‘table “tbl_a”,user “user”,password “pass”,host “DB2 DB3 DB4”‘;

DB1

Step 3

Register monitornig node information toMySQL servers with Spider.

Then alter table on DB1.

insert into mysql.spider_link_mon_servers(db_name, table_name, link_id, sid, server, scheme, host, port, socket, username, password)values('db_name', 'tbl_a', 0, DB5_sid, null, 'mysql', 'DB5', 3306, null, 'user', 'pass‘),('db_name', 'tbl_a', 0, DB6_sid, null, 'mysql', 'DB6', 3306, null, 'user', 'pass‘),('db_name', 'tbl_a', 0, DB7_sid, null, 'mysql', 'DB7', 3306, null, 'user', 'pass‘);

Alter table tbl_aConnection ‘table “tbl_a”,user “user”,password “pass”,host “DB2 DB3 DB4”,mbk “2”, mkd “2”,msi “DB5_sid”,link_status “0 2 2”‘;

DB7DB6

DB5tbl_aDB1

Select spider_copy_tables(‘tbl_a’, ‘’, ‘’);

Step 4

Copy data from DB2 to DB3 and DB4.

Alter table tbl_aConnection ‘table “tbl_a”,user “user”,password “pass”,host “DB2 DB3 DB4”,mbk “2”, mkd “2”,msi “DB5_sid”,link_status “0 1 1”‘;

Finish

Alter table on DB1.

How to add new nodeafter failoverand preparing new server

without stopping the service

Create a table of a new node to the clustered table

You need to create a new node, in order tomaintain redundancy, when there is a troubleat the node that composes the cluster.

Here, I will explain how to add a table of a new node, without stopping the service.

DB1

Initial Structure

There are 4 MySQL servers with Spider(include 3 monitoring nodes) and

3 MySQL servers without Spider (including 1 broken node).

Step 1

Add new data node(DB8) and table.

Create table tbl_a (col_a int,col_b int,primary key(col_a)

Step 2

Alter table on monitoring nodes(DB5, DB6 and DB7).

Alter table on DB1.

Step 4

Copy data from DB2 to DB8.
