README

go-dqlite v2

This branch (v2) is used to develop major version 2 of go-dqlite, which is an LTS release series. You can depend on it with

$ go get github.com/canonical/go-dqlite/v2

This release series will only include fixes for security issues and other major bugs, not new features. Mainline development happens on v3. For more information about go-dqlite, see the v3 README.

Constants

const BootstrapID = 0x2dc171858c3155be

BootstrapID is a magic ID that should be used for the fist node in a cluster. Alternatively ID 1 can be used as well.

Functions

func ConfigMultiThread

func ConfigMultiThread() error

ConfigMultiThread sets the threading mode of SQLite to Multi-thread.

By default go-dqlite configures SQLite to Single-thread mode, because the dqlite engine itself is single-threaded, and enabling Multi-thread or Serialized modes would incur in a performance penality.

If your Go process also uses SQLite directly (e.g. using the github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3 bindings) you might need to switch to Multi-thread mode in order to be thread-safe.

IMPORTANT: It's possible to successfully change SQLite's threading mode only if no SQLite APIs have been invoked yet (e.g. no database has been opened yet). Therefore you'll typically want to call ConfigMultiThread() very early in your process setup. Alternatively you can set the GO_DQLITE_MULTITHREAD environment variable to 1 at process startup, in order to prevent go-dqlite from setting Single-thread mode at all.

func GenerateID

func GenerateID(address string) uint64

GenerateID generates a unique ID for a new node, based on a hash of its address and the current time.

func ReconfigureMembership deprecated

func ReconfigureMembership(dir string, cluster []NodeInfo) error

ReconfigureMembership forces a new cluster configuration.

Deprecated: this function ignores the provided node roles and makes every node in the new configuration a voter. Use ReconfigureMembershipExt, which respects the provided roles.

func ReconfigureMembershipExt

func ReconfigureMembershipExt(dir string, cluster []NodeInfo) error

ReconfigureMembershipExt forces a new cluster configuration.

This function is useful to revive a cluster that can't achieve quorum in its old configuration because some nodes can't be brought online. Forcing a new configuration is unsafe, and you should follow these steps to avoid data loss and inconsistency:

  1. Make sure no dqlite node in the cluster is running.
  2. Identify all dqlite nodes that have survived and that you want to be part of the recovered cluster. Call this the "new member list".
  3. Call ReadLastEntryInfo on each node in the member list, and find which node has the most recent entry according to LastEntryInfo.Before. Call this the "template node".
  4. Invoke ReconfigureMembershipExt exactly one time, on the template node. The arguments are the data directory of the template node and the new member list.
  5. Copy the data directory of the template node to all other nodes in the new member list, replacing their previous data directories.
  6. Restart all nodes in the new member list.

Types

type LastEntryInfo

type LastEntryInfo struct {
	Term, Index uint64
}

LastEntryInfo holds information about the last entry in the persistent raft log of a node.

The zero value is not a valid entry description, and can be used as a sentinel.

Example
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"sort"

	dqlite "github.com/canonical/go-dqlite/v2"
)

type infoSorter []dqlite.LastEntryInfo

func (is infoSorter) Len() int {
	return len(is)
}

func (is infoSorter) Less(i, j int) bool {
	return is[i].Before(is[j])
}

func (is infoSorter) Swap(i, j int) {
	is[i], is[j] = is[j], is[i]
}

func main() {
	infos := []dqlite.LastEntryInfo{
		{Term: 1, Index: 2},
		{Term: 2, Index: 2},
		{Term: 1, Index: 1},
		{Term: 2, Index: 1},
	}
	sort.Sort(infoSorter(infos))
	fmt.Println(infos)
}
Output:

[{1 1} {1 2} {2 1} {2 2}]

func ReadLastEntryInfo

func ReadLastEntryInfo(dir string) (LastEntryInfo, error)

ReadLastEntryInfo reads information about the last entry in the raft persistent log from a node's data directory.

This is intended to be used during the cluster recovery process, see ReconfigureMembershipExt. The node must not be running.

This is a non-destructive operation, but is not read-only, since it has the side effect of renaming raft open segment files to closed segment files.

func (LastEntryInfo) Before

func (lhs LastEntryInfo) Before(rhs LastEntryInfo) bool

Before tells whether the entry described by the receiver is strictly less recent than another entry.

Entry A is less recent than entry B when A has a lower term number, or when A and B have the same term number and A has a lower index.

type Node

type Node struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Node runs a dqlite node.

func New

func New(id uint64, address string, dir string, options ...Option) (*Node, error)

New creates a new Node instance.

func (*Node) BindAddress

func (s *Node) BindAddress() string

BindAddress returns the network address the node is listening to.

func (*Node) Close

func (s *Node) Close() error

Close the server, releasing all resources it created.

func (*Node) Recover deprecated

func (s *Node) Recover(cluster []NodeInfo) error

Recover a node by forcing a new cluster configuration.

Deprecated: use ReconfigureMembershipExt instead, which does not require instantiating a new Node object.

func (*Node) Start

func (s *Node) Start() error

Start serving requests.

type NodeInfo

type NodeInfo = client.NodeInfo

NodeInfo is a convenience alias for client.NodeInfo.

type Option

type Option func(*options)

Option can be used to tweak node parameters.

func WithAutoRecovery

func WithAutoRecovery(recovery bool) Option

WithAutoRecovery enables or disables auto-recovery of persisted data at startup for this node.

When auto-recovery is enabled, raft snapshots and segment files may be deleted at startup if they are determined to be corrupt. This helps the startup process to succeed in more cases, but can lead to data loss.

Auto-recovery is enabled by default.

func WithBindAddress

func WithBindAddress(address string) Option

WithBindAddress sets a custom bind address for the server.

func WithDialFunc

func WithDialFunc(dial client.DialFunc) Option

WithDialFunc sets a custom dial function for the server.

func WithDiskMode

func WithDiskMode(disk bool) Option

WithDiskMode enables dqlite disk-mode on the node. WARNING: This is experimental API, use with caution and prepare for data loss. UNSTABLE: Behavior can change in future. NOT RECOMMENDED for production use-cases, use at own risk.

func WithFailureDomain

func WithFailureDomain(code uint64) Option

WithFailureDomain sets the code of the failure domain the node belongs to.

func WithNetworkLatency

func WithNetworkLatency(latency time.Duration) Option

WithNetworkLatency sets the average one-way network latency.

func WithSnapshotParams

func WithSnapshotParams(params SnapshotParams) Option

WithSnapshotParams sets the snapshot parameters of the node.

type SnapshotParams

type SnapshotParams = bindings.SnapshotParams

SnapshotParams exposes bindings.SnapshotParams. Used for setting dqlite's snapshot parameters. SnapshotParams.Threshold controls after how many raft log entries a snapshot is taken. The higher this number, the lower the frequency of the snapshots. SnapshotParams.Trailing controls how many raft log entries are retained after taking a snapshot.
