/**
 * Trait to wrap connect() method of database driver classes that gives
 * ability to use read only slave instances for SELECT queries. For the
 * databases that support replication and read only connections to the slave.
 * If the slave connection is configured there will be two database handles
 * created, one for the master and another one for the slave. If there's no
 * slave specified everything uses master handle.
 *
 * Classes that use this trait need to rename existing connect() method to
 * raw_connect(). In addition, they need to provide get_db_handle() and
 * set_db_handle() methods, due to dbhandle attributes not being named
 * consistently across the database driver classes.
 *
 * Read only slave connection is configured in the $CFG->dboptions['readonly']
 * array.
 * - It supports multiple 'instance' entries, in case one is not accessible,
 *   but only one (first connectable) instance is used.
 * - 'latency' option: master -> slave sync latency in seconds (will probably
< * be a fraction of a second). If specified, a table being written to is < * deemed fully synced and suitable for slave read.
> * be a fraction of a second). A table being written to is deemed fully synced > * after that period and suitable for slave read. Defaults to 1 sec.
* - 'exclude_tables' option: a list of tables that never go to the slave for * querying. The feature is meant to be used in emergency only, so the * readonly feature can still be used in case there is a rogue query that * does not go through the standard dml interface or some other unaccounted * situation. It should not be used under normal circumstances, and its use * indicates a problem in the system that needs addressig. * * Choice of the database handle is based on following: * - SQL_QUERY_INSERT, UPDATE and STRUCTURE record table from the query
< * in the $written array and microtime() the event if the 'latency' option < * is set. For those queries master write handle is used.
> * in the $written array and microtime() the event. For those queries master > * write handle is used.
* - SQL_QUERY_AUX queries will always use the master write handle because they * are used for transactionstart/end, locking etc. In that respect, query_start() and * query_end() *must not* be used during the connection phase. * - SELECT queries will use the master write handle if: * -- any of the tables involved is a temp table * -- any of the tables involved is listed in the 'exclude_tables' option * -- any of the tables involved is in the $written array:
< * * If the 'latency' option is set then the microtime() is compared to < * the write microrime, and if more then latency time has passed the slave < * handle is used. < * * Otherwise (not enough time passed or 'latency' option not set) < * we choose the master write handle
> * * current microtime() is compared to the write microrime, and if more than > * latency time has passed the slave handle is used > * * otherwise (not enough time passed) we choose the master write handle
* If none of the above conditions are met the slave instance is used. * * A 'latency' example: * - we have set $CFG->dboptions['readonly']['latency'] to 0.2. * - a SQL_QUERY_UPDATE to table tbl_x happens, and it is recorded in * the $written array * - 0.15 seconds later SQL_QUERY_SELECT with tbl_x is requested - the master * connection is used * - 0.10 seconds later (0.25 seconds after SQL_QUERY_UPDATE) another * SQL_QUERY_SELECT with tbl_x is requested - this time more than 0.2 secs * has gone and master -> slave sync is assumed, so the slave connection is * used again */ trait moodle_read_slave_trait { /** @var resource master write database handle */ protected $dbhwrite; /** @var resource slave read only database handle */ protected $dbhreadonly; private $wantreadslave = false; private $readsslave = 0;
