<title>Overview</title>
<para>
This module provides a generic database clustering system. It can be
used as a middle layer between modules and database connectors.
</para>
<para>
Via clustering, database operations can be executed across multiple
servers, based on policies such as parallel write, serial or round
robin write and read.
</para>
<para>
The 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.
</para>

<title>Parameters</title>
<section id="db_cluster.p.connection">
<title><varname>connection</varname> (str)</title>
<para>
Specify the connection to a real database system. The format is
'conid=>DBURL' - providing a connection id and the database
URL used by the database driver used.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>
Default value is NULL.
</emphasis>
</para>
<example>
<title>Set <varname>connection</varname> parameter</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">
...
modparam("db_cluster", "connection",
"con1=>mysql://kamailio:kamailiorw@localhost/kamailio1")
modparam("db_cluster", "connection",
"con2=>mysql://kamailio:kamailiorw@localhost/kamailio2")
...
</programlisting>
</example>
</section>
<section id="db_cluster.p.cluster">
<title><varname>cluster</varname> (str)</title>
<para>
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 and write operations to be
performed on that connection.
</para>
<para>
The priority is a digit between 0 and 9, where a higher value means higher priority.
Priority 0 means that the connection is not going to be used in that cluster.
</para>
<para>
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).
</para>
<para>
<para>
The first two characters is priority and mode for read, followed by
two characters for priority and mode for write operations. "p" is
only used for write operations.
</para>
<emphasis>
Default value is NULL.
</emphasis>
</para>
<example>
<title>Set <varname>cluster</varname> parameter</title>

...
</programlisting>
</example>
</section>
<section id="db_cluster.p.inactive_interval">
<title><varname>inactive_interval</varname> (int)</title>
<para>
How long (seconds) a connection is considered inactive after a DB
operations failed on it.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>
Default value is 300 (5 min).
</emphasis>
</para>
<example>
<title>Set <varname>inactive_interval</varname> parameter</title>

modparam("db_cluster", "inactive_interval", 180)
...
</programlisting>
</example>
</section>
<section id="db_cluster.p.max_query_length">
<title><varname>max_query_length</varname> (int)</title>
<para>
How long (seconds) a failed db operation needs to last before
deactivating the connection for inactive_interval seconds. This
prevents disabling of connections that reply fast with error
codes, thus being active (e.g., due to primary key insert errors).
In such cases, the database server is active.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>
Default value is 0.
</emphasis>
</para>
<example>
<title>Set <varname>max_query_length</varname> parameter</title>
<programlisting format="linespecific">
...
modparam("db_cluster", "max_query_length", 5)

<title>Usage</title>
<para>
Practically, all the modules that want to use a cluster, have to set
their db_url parameter to "cluster://clusterid".
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
For parallel operations, a command is considered successful if it
succeeded on one connection from a group with same priority.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
