SQLFire multi-site WAN replication

In then latest SQLFire 102 release we have introduced muti-site WAN deployments. The example below shows how quickly we can get this setup with simple SQL calls on both sites. In this very simple example we will have 2 distributed SQLFire sites being setup as a multi-site WAN deployment scenario.

The steps below switch from one site to the other so be careful to run the SQL on the correct site.

Note: This demo is designed to on a single laptop/desktop, hence the refernces to localhost

Site 1

1. Start a locator as follows for the first distributed SQLFire system

> sqlf locator start -peer-discovery-address=localhost -peer-discovery-port=10101 -locators=localhost:10101 -conserve-sockets=false -distributed-system-id=1 -remote-locators=localhost[20202] -client-bind-address=localhost -client-port=1527

2. start 2 SQLFire nodes as shown below.

> sqlf server start -server-groups=MYGROUP -locators=localhost[10101] -client-bind-address=localhost -client-port=1529 -dir=server1 &
sqlf server start -server-groups=MYGROUP -locators=localhost[10101] -client-bind-address=localhost -client-port=1530 -dir=server2 &

Site 2

3. Start a locator as follows for the second distributed SQLFire system

> sqlf locator start -peer-discovery-address=localhost -peer-discovery-port=20202 -locators=localhost:20202 -conserve-sockets=false -distributed-system-id=2 -remote-locators=localhost[10101] -client-bind-address=localhost -client-port=1528

4. start 2 SQLFire nodes as shown below.

> sqlf server start -server-groups=MYGROUP -locators=localhost[20202] -client-bind-address=localhost -client-port=1531 -dir=server1 &
sqlf server start -server-groups=MYGROUP -locators=localhost[20202] -client-bind-address=localhost -client-port=1532 -dir=server2 &

Site 1

Create sender/receiver as shown below.

5. Create sender as follows
  
create diskstore cluster1store;

CREATE GATEWAYSENDER cluster2sender
(
  REMOTEDSID 2
  ENABLEPERSISTENCE true
  DISKSTORENAME cluster1store 
)
SERVER GROUPS (MYGROUP); 

6. Create receiver as follows
  
CREATE GATEWAYRECEIVER test_receiver (startport 1550 endport 1561) 
server groups (MYGROUP);

Site 2

Create sender/receiver as well as the table we wish to replicate between sites.

7. Create sender as follows
  
create diskstore cluster2store;

CREATE GATEWAYSENDER cluster1sender
(
  REMOTEDSID 1
  ENABLEPERSISTENCE true
  DISKSTORENAME cluster2store 
)
SERVER GROUPS (MYGROUP);

8. Create receiver as follows
  
CREATE GATEWAYRECEIVER test_receiver (startport 1550 endport 1561) 
server groups (MYGROUP);

Site 1

Create the table we wish to replicate. This must be done on each site as DDL is not replicated, only DML is.

9. Create table as shown below
  
CREATE TABLE test_table 
(ID INT NOT NULL, NAME VARCHAR(10))
GATEWAYSENDER(cluster2sender) SERVER GROUPS (MYGROUP);

Site 2

Create the table we wish to replicate. This must be done on each site as DDL is not replicated, only DML is.

10. Create table as shown below.
  
CREATE TABLE test_table 
(ID INT NOT NULL, NAME VARCHAR(10))
GATEWAYSENDER(cluster1sender) SERVER GROUPS (MYGROUP);

Verifying the setup

With this now setup we simply need to connect to either distributed system and insert some data into our table as shown below.

11. Connect to the first distributed system and insert some data as shown below.
  
[Tue May 29 10:47:47 papicella@:~/sqlfire/vFabric_SQLFire_102/pasdemos/wan-demo/dist1 ] $ sqlf
sqlf version 10.4
sqlf> connect client 'localhost:1527';
sqlf> insert into test_table values (1, 'apples');
1 row inserted/updated/deleted
sqlf> commit;
sqlf> select * from test_table;
ID         |NAME      
----------------------
1          |apples    

1 row selected

12. Connect to the second distributed system to verify the data was replicated from test_table
  
[Tue May 29 10:46:31 papicella@:~/sqlfire/vFabric_SQLFire_102/pasdemos/wan-demo/dist2 ] $ sqlf
sqlf version 10.4
sqlf> connect client 'localhost:1528';
sqlf> select * from test_table;
ID         |NAME      
----------------------
1          |apples    

1 row selected

Simple example on how to caputure the query execution plan from SQLFire

The example below shows how we can capure the query plan for SQL running in SQLFire. Although any user can run an explain plan you must connect as a peer to show the query execution plan as the data is stored in the SYS.STATEMENTPLANS table.

1. Determine what indexes we currently have in the "APP" schema.
  
sqlf> show indexes in app;
TABLE_NAME          |COLUMN_NAME         |NON_U&|TYPE|ASC&|CARDINA&|PAGES   
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEPT                |DEPTNO              |0     |3   |A   |NULL    |NULL    
EMP                 |EMPNO               |0     |3   |A   |NULL    |NULL    
EMP                 |DEPTNO              |1     |3   |A   |NULL    |NULL    
EMP                 |JOB                 |1     |3   |A   |NULL    |NULL    

4 rows selected

2. Run a query explain for an individual SQL statement and display the execution plan. In this example below we connect as a peer client to perform the opertion BUT we only need to conect as a peer client to actually display the execution plan and we can explain our SQL as a regular client user.
  
sqlf> connect peer 'host-data=false;mcast-port=12333';
sqlf> explain select * from emp where job = 'CLERK';
MEMBER_PLAN

So the steps are as follows:

1. Run an explain for the SQL using the key word "EXPLAIN".
2. Connect as a peer
3. Show the query plan execution for the statement.

vfabric Application Director 3 Tier Spring Travel Blueprint

Here are the steps used to create a 3 tier application using Spring travel with a MYSQL database. This is based on the screen shots from the previous blog entry.

1. Log into "vFabric Application Director" home page
2. Click on "Manage Applications".
3. Locate "Spring Travel" and select the icon for "Copy this application version" under the "Actions" column
4. Select radio option "Save as new application" and enter details as follows.



5. Click ok.
6. Click on the symbol  IMG6 "Convert to node array" to ensure we create a cluster of these VM's.
7. Set the cluster size to 2.
8. Click on the "Memory" column and set each VM to 1024M as shown below

IMG7

9. Press the "Save" button at the top right hand corner of the blueprint editor.

Note: Ignore any warning and save the changes.

10. Under "Logical Templates -> OS Templates" drop "CentOS56 32 bit 1.0.0" onto the canvas.
11.  Name it "load_balancer" and set the memory to 512M as shown below.

IMG8


12. Save the blueprint
13. Under "Services -> Web Servers" drop "Apache 2.2.0"
14. Name it "Apache_LB" for the "Details" column
15. In the top right hand corner use the icon IMG9to create a relationship from "Apache_LB" to "SpringTravelApp" as shown below.

IMG10

16. Save the blueprint
17. Click on "Apache_LB" and select the "Properties" column
18. Edit the property "http_node_ips" and ensure the blueprint property is set as shown below. This will we setup our http.conf for Apache to bind to the 2 tc Server VM's using the correct ip address.

IMG11

19. Edit the property "jvm_routes" and edit it use the blueprint value "all(SpringTravel:tcServer:JVM_ROUTE)". You should have something as follows.

IMG12

20. Save the blueprint.
21. Under "Logical Templates -> OS Templates" drop "CentOS56 32 bit 1.0.0" onto the canvas.
22. Name it "MySQLTier" and change the "Memory" to 1024M.
23. Under "Services -> Database Servers" drop "MySQL 5.0.0" onto the template
24. Under the "Properties"column edit the "db_root_password" to "welcome1" as shown below.

IMG13

25. Save the blueprint
26. In the top right hand corner use the icon IMG9to create a relationship from "SpringTravelApp" to "Mysql".
27. Drop from "Application Components" a "SQL Script" onto "Mysql"
28. In the top right hand corner use the icon IMG9to create a relationship from "SQL_SCRIPT" to "Mysql" which should give you a blueprint as follows at this point.

IMG14

29. Select "SpringTravelApp" and add a property as shown below to ensure we bind to the "MySQLTier" ip address.

IMG15

30. Edit the "war" property and set it's "Blueprint Value" to "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15829935/se-demos/app-director/mysql/mysql-swf-booking-mvc.war"
31. Click on the "Actions" column
32. Double click on the "script" column for the lifecycle stage "CONFIGURE" and add contents as shown below.


#!/bin/sh

env > /tmp/env.txt

sleep 10

export mysqlip="${dbip}"

echo "mysql ip is ${mysqlip}"

cd $installdir/working/springsource-tc-server-standard/instance1/webapps/mysql-swf-booking-mvc/WEB-INF/config
sed -e "s/localhost/${mysqlip}/g" data-access-config.xml > data-access-config-NEW.xml
mv data-access-config-NEW.xml data-access-config.xml

33. Double click on the "script" column for the lifecycle stage "START" and add contents as shown below.

#!/bin/sh

env > /tmp/env.txt

cd $installdir/working/springsource-tc-server-standard/instance1/bin

./tcruntime-ctl.sh stop

./tcruntime-ctl.sh start


34. Click on "SQL_SCRIPT" on the "MySQLTier"
35. Click on the "Actions" column
36. Double click on the "script" column for the lifecycle stage "INSTALL" and add contents as shown below

#!/bin/bash

mysql -h localhost -u root -pwelcome1 < create database travel;
CREATE USER 'travel'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'travel';
GRANT ALL ON travel.* TO 'travel'@'%';
!

37. Save the blueprint
38. Click on the icon in the top right hand corner IMG16 to deploy the blueprint
39. Enter a deployment profile name as "SpringTravelMysql"
40. Click Ok
41. Click on "Map Details" button
42. Click Next
43. Click Next
44. Click Next
45. Click Deploy

A successfull deployment will look as follows once complete.
