  MySQL Federated Storage Engine

  ha_federated.cc - MySQL Federated Storage Engine
  Patrick Galbraith and Brian Aker, 2004

  This is a handler which uses a remote database as the data file, as 
  opposed to a handler like MyISAM, which uses .MYD files locally.

  How this handler works
  ----------------------------------
  Normal database files are local and as such: You create a table called 
  'users', a file such as 'users.MYD' is created. A handler reads, inserts, 
  deletes, updates data in this file. The data is stored in particular format,
  so to read, that data has to be parsed into fields, to write, fields have to
  be stored in this format to write to this data file. 

  With MySQL Federated storage engine, there will be no local files for each
  table's data (such as .MYD). A remote database will store the data that would
  normally be in this file. This will necessitate the use of MySQL client API 
  to read, delete, update, insert this data. The data will have to be retrieve
  via an SQL call "SELECT * FROM users". Then, to read this data, it will have
  to be retrieved via mysql_fetch_row one row at a time, then converted from 
  the  column in this select into the format that the handler expects.

  The create table will simply create the .frm file, and within the 
  "CREATE TABLE" SQL, there SHALL be any of the following : 

  comment=scheme://username:password@hostname:port/database/tablename
  comment=scheme://username@hostname/database/tablename
  comment=scheme://username:password@hostname/database/tablename
  comment=scheme://username:password@hostname/database/tablename

  An example would be:

  comment=mysql://username:password@hostname:port/database/tablename

  ***IMPORTANT***

  Only 'mysql://' is supported at this release.


  This comment connection string is necessary for the handler to be 
  able to connect to the remote server.


  The basic flow is this:

  SQL calls issues locally ->
  mysql handler API (data in handler format) -> 
  mysql client API (data converted to SQL calls) -> 
  remote database -> mysql client API -> 
  convert result sets (if any) to handler format ->
  handler API -> results or rows affected to local

  What this handler does and doesn't support
  ------------------------------------------
  * Tables MUST be created on the remote server prior to any action on those
    tables via the handler, first version. IMPORTANT: IF you MUST use the 
    federated storage engine type on the REMOTE end, MAKE SURE [ :) ] That
    the table you connect to IS NOT a table pointing BACK to your ORIGNAL 
    table! You know  and have heard the screaching of audio feedback? You
    know putting two mirror in front of each other how the reflection 
    continues for eternity? Well, need I say more?!
  * There will not be support for transactions.
  * There is no way for the handler to know if the database on the remote end
    has changed. The reason for this is that this database has to work like a
    data file that would never be written to by anything other than the 
    database. The integrity of the data in the local table could be breached 
    if there was any change to the remote database.
  * Support for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE , DELETE, indexes.
  * No ALTER TABLE, DROP TABLE or any other Data Definition Language calls.
  * Prepared statements will not be used in the first implementation, it 
    remains to to be seen whether the limited subset of the client API for the
    server supports this.
  * This uses SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and not HANDLER for its 
    implementation. 
  * This will not work with the query cache.

   Method calls

   A two column table, with one record:

   (SELECT)

   "SELECT * FROM foo" 
    ha_federated::info
    ha_federated::scan_time:
    ha_federated::rnd_init: share->select_query SELECT * FROM foo
    ha_federated::extra

    <for every row of data retrieved>
    ha_federated::rnd_next
    ha_federated::convert_row_to_internal_format
    ha_federated::rnd_next
    </for every row of data retrieved>

    ha_federated::rnd_end
    ha_federated::extra
    ha_federated::reset

    (INSERT)

    "INSERT INTO foo (id, ts) VALUES (2, now());"

    ha_federated::write_row

    <for every field/column>
    Field::quote_data
    Field::quote_data
    </for every field/column>

    ha_federated::reset

    (UPDATE)

    "UPDATE foo SET ts = now() WHERE id = 1;"

    ha_federated::index_init
    ha_federated::index_read
    ha_federated::index_read_idx
    Field::quote_data
    ha_federated::rnd_next
    ha_federated::convert_row_to_internal_format
    ha_federated::update_row
    
    <quote 3 cols, new and old data>
    Field::quote_data
    Field::quote_data
    Field::quote_data
    Field::quote_data
    Field::quote_data
    Field::quote_data
    </quote 3 cols, new and old data>
    
    ha_federated::extra
    ha_federated::extra
    ha_federated::extra
    ha_federated::external_lock
    ha_federated::reset


    How do I use this handler?
    --------------------------
    First of all, you need to build this storage engine:
    
      ./configure --with-federated-storage-engine
      make

    Next, to use this handler, it's very simple. You must 
    have two databases running, either both on the same host, or
    on different hosts.

    One the server that will be connecting to the remote 
    host (client), you create your table as such:

    CREATE TABLE test_table ( 
      id     int(20) NOT NULL auto_increment,
      name   varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
      other  int(20) NOT NULL default '0',
      PRIMARY KEY  (id),
      KEY name (name),
      KEY other_key (other)) 
       ENGINE="FEDERATED" 
       DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 
       COMMENT='root@127.0.0.1:9306/federated/test_federated';

   Notice the "COMMENT" and "ENGINE" field? This is where you 
   respectively set the engine type, "FEDERATED" and remote
   host information, this being the database your 'client' database 
   will connect to and use as the "data file". Obviously, the remote
   database is running on port 9306, so you want to start up your other 
   database so that it is indeed on port 9306, and your federated 
   database on a port other than that. In my setup, I use port 5554 
   for federated, and port 5555 for the remote.

   Then, on the remote database:

   CREATE TABLE test_table ( 
     id     int(20) NOT NULL auto_increment,
     name   varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
     other  int(20) NOT NULL default '0',
     PRIMARY KEY  (id),
     KEY name (name),
     KEY other_key (other)) 
     ENGINE="<NAME>" <-- whatever you want, or not specify
     DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 ;

    This table is exactly the same (and must be exactly the same),
    except that it is not using the federated handler and does 
    not need the URL.
    

    How to see the handler in action
    --------------------------------

    When developing this handler, I compiled the federated database with
    debugging:

    ./configure --with-federated-storage-engine 
    --prefix=/home/mysql/mysql-build/federated/ --with-debug

    Once compiled, I did a 'make install' (not for the purpose of installing
    the binary, but to install all the files the binary expects to see in the
    diretory I specified in the build with --prefix, 
    "/home/mysql/mysql-build/federated". 
    
    Then, I started the remote server:

    /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe 
    --user=mysql --log=/tmp/mysqld.5555.log -P 5555

    Then, I went back to the directory containing the newly compiled mysqld,
    <builddir>/sql/, started up gdb:

    gdb ./mysqld

    Then, withn the (gdb) prompt:
    (gdb) run --gdb --port=5554 --socket=/tmp/mysqld.5554 --skip-innodb --debug

    Next, I open several windows for each:

    1. Tail the debug trace: tail -f /tmp/mysqld.trace|grep ha_fed
    2. Tail the SQL calls to the remote database: tail -f /tmp/mysqld.5555.log
    3. A window with a client open to the federated server on port 5554
    4. A window with a client open to the federated server on port 5555

    I would create a table on the client to the remote server on port 
    5555, and then to the federated server on port 5554. At this point,
    I would run whatever queries I wanted to on the federated server,
    just always remembering that whatever changes I wanted to make on 
    the table, or if I created new tables, that I would have to do that
    on the remote server.
    
    Another thing to look for is 'show variables' to show you that you have 
    support for federated handler support:

    show variables like '%federat%'

    and:

    show storage engines;

    Both should display the federated storage handler.


    Testing
    -------

    There is a test for MySQL Federated Storage Handler in ./mysql-test/t, 
    federatedd.test It starts both a slave and master database using
    the same setup that the replication tests use, with the exception that
    it turns off replication, and sets replication to ignore the test tables.
    After ensuring that you actually do have support for the federated storage 
    handler, numerous queries/inserts/updates/deletes are run, many derived 
    from the MyISAM tests, plus som other tests which were meant to reveal
    any issues that would be most likely to affect this handler. All tests
    should work! ;)

    To run these tests, go into ./mysql-test (based in the directory you 
    built the server in)

    ./mysql-test-run federatedd
   
    To run the test, or if you want to run the test and have debug info:

    ./mysql-test-run --debug federated

    This will run the test in debug mode, and you can view the trace and 
    log files in the ./mysql-test/var/log directory

    Of course, again, you can tail the trace log:

    tail -f mysql-test/var/log/master.trace |grep ha_fed  

    As well as the slave query log:
  
    tail -f mysql-test/var/log/slave.log

  The reason is that the server will optimize for cases of only a single

/*
  The idea with handler::store_lock() is the following:

  The statement decided which locks we should need for the table
  for updates/deletes/inserts we get WRITE locks, for SELECT... we get
  read locks.

  Before adding the lock into the table lock handler (see thr_lock.c)
  mysqld calls store lock with the requested locks.  Store lock can now
  modify a write lock to a read lock (or some other lock), ignore the
  lock (if we don't want to use MySQL table locks at all) or add locks
  for many tables (like we do when we are using a MERGE handler).

  Berkeley DB for federated  changes all WRITE locks to TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE
  (which signals that we are doing WRITES, but we are still allowing other
  reader's and writer's.

  When releasing locks, store_lock() are also called. In this case one
  usually doesn't have to do anything.

  In some exceptional cases MySQL may send a request for a TL_IGNORE;
  This means that we are requesting the same lock as last time and this
  should also be ignored. (This may happen when someone does a flush
  table when we have opened a part of the tables, in which case mysqld
  closes and reopens the tables and tries to get the same locks at last
  time).  In the future we will probably try to remove this.
