3.1. connection (str)

3.3. inactive_interval (int)

4. Usage

1. Overview

This module provides a generic database clustering system. It can be
used as a middle layer between modules and database connectors.

Via clustering, database operations can be executed across multiple
servers, based on policies such as paraller write, serial or round
robin write and read.

Following database commands are considered to be write operations:
INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, REPLACE, INSERT-DELAYED, INSERT-UPDATE. The
read operations are done for database commands: QUERY and RAW-QUERY.

2. Dependencies

2.1. Kamailio Modules
2.2. External Libraries or Applications

2.1. Kamailio Modules

The following modules must be loaded before this module:
* db connector - database connectors.

2.2. External Libraries or Applications

The following libraries or applications must be installed before
running Kamailio with this module loaded:
* None

3. Parameters

3.1. connection (str)
3.2. cluster (str)
3.3. inactive_interval (int)

3.1. connection (str)

Specify the connection to a real database system. The format is
'conid=>DBURL' - providing a connection id and the database URL.

Default value is NULL.

Example 1.1. Set connection parameter
...
modparam("db_cluster", "connection",
"con1=>mysql://openser:openser@localhost/kamailio1")
modparam("db_cluster", "connection",
"con2=>mysql://openser:openser@localhost/kamailio2")
...

3.2. cluster (str)

Specify the cluster definition. The format is
'clsid=>conid1=def1;conid2=def2' - providing a cluster id and the list
of database connections to be used. For each connection you have to
provide a usage definition. The usage definition is a 4-char long
string, specifying priority and command mode for read an write
operations to be done on that connection.

The priority is a digit between 0 and 9, higher value is higher
priority. Priority 0 means that connection is not going to be used in
that cluster.

Command mode is a character among s, r and p. s is for doing serial
operations (try first and if fails, try next); r is for doing round
robin operations; p - is for doing parallel operations (this is valid
only for write operations).

Default value is NULL.

Example 1.2. Set cluster parameter
...
modparam("db_cluster", "cluster", "cls1=>con1=9s8p;con2=9s8p")
...

3.3. inactive_interval (int)

How long (seconds) a connection is considered inactive after a DB
operations failed on it.

Default value is 300 (5 min).

Example 1.3. Set inactive_interval parameter
...
modparam("db_cluster", "inactive_interval", 180)
...

4. Usage

Practically, all the modules that want to use a cluster, have to set
their db_url parameter to "cluster://clusterid".

Following rules apply when doing DB commands: the connecions with
highest priority are chosen first and the operations are performed
according to the command mode. Note that for same priority, only one
command mode is used (the one from the first connection with that
priority found in the definition of the cluster). If the DB command is
not successful, next set of connections based on priority is selected
and the command is tried again. When the command is successful, no
other try is made.

For parallel operations, a command is considered successful if it
succeeded on one connection from a group with same priority.

Next example shows how to set a cluster with two connections to MySQL
to be used for parallel writing from acc and round-robin reading by
sqlops.

Example 1.4. Set cluster parameter
...
modparam("db_cluster", "connection",
"c1=>mysql://openser:openserrw@localhost/kamailio1")
modparam("db_cluster", "connection",
"c2=>mysql://openser:openserrw@localhost/kamailio2")
modparam("db_cluster", "cluster", "k1=>c1=9r9p;c2=9r9p")

modparam("acc", "db_url", "cluster://k1")

modparam("sqlops", "sqlcon", "ca=>cluster://k1")
...
