= ActiveRecord::Turntable ActiveRecord::Turntable is a database sharding extension for ActiveRecord. == Dependencies activerecord(>=3.0.0) == Supported Database Currently supports mysql only. == Installation Add 'activerecord-turntable' to Gemfile: gem 'activerecord-turntable', '1.0.0' Run a bundle install: bundle install Run install generator: bundle exec rails g active_record:turntable:install generator creates Rails.root/config/turntable.yml == ActiveRecord::Turntable terms *Shard *Cluster - a cluster of shards. *Master - default ActiveRecord::Base's connection *Sequencer - a module that creates global sequence number == Example === Example Databases Structure one main database(default ActiveRecord::Base connection) and three user databases sharded by user_id. +-------+ | App | +-------+ | +---------+-----------+---------+---------+ | | | | | +--------+ +---------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ | Master | |Sequencer| |UserDB1| |UserDB2| |UserDB3| +--------+ +---------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ === Example Configuration Edit turntable.yml and database.yml. See below example config. example turntable.yml: development: clusters: user_cluster: # <-- cluster name algorithm: range # <-- only range or range_bsearch sharding is supported currently. shards: - connection: user_shard_1 # <-- shard name less_than: 100 # <-- shard range(like mysql partitioning) - connection: user_shard_2 less_than: 200 - connection: user_shard_3 less_than: 2000000000 database.yml: connection_spec: &spec adapter: mysql2 encoding: utf8 reconnect: false pool: 5 username: root password: root socket: /tmp/mysql.sock development: <<: *spec database: sample_app_development seq: # <-- sequence definition user_seq_1: <<: *spec database: sample_app_user_seq_development shards: # <-- shards definition user_shard_1: <<: *spec database: sample_app_user1_development user_shard_2: <<: *spec database: sample_app_user2_development user_shard_3: <<: *spec database: sample_app_user3_development === Migration Example Generate a model: bundle exec rails g model user name:string Edit migration file: class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration clusters :user_cluster # <-- the cluster that executes migration def change create_table :users do |t| t.string :name t.timestamps end create_sequence_for(:users) end end then please execute rake tasks: bundle exec rake db:create bundle exec rake db:migrate Those rake tasks would be executed to shards too. === Model Example add turntable [shard_key_name] to the model class: class User < ActiveRecord::Base turntable :user_cluster, :id sequencer has_one :status end class Status < ActiveRecord::Base turntable :user_cluster, :user_id sequencer belongs_to :user end == Usage === Create > User.create(name: "hoge") (0.0ms) [Shard: user_seq_1] BEGIN (0.3ms) [Shard: user_seq_1] UPDATE `users_id_seq` SET id=LAST_INSERT_ID(id+1) (0.8ms) [Shard: user_seq_1] COMMIT (0.1ms) [Shard: user_seq_1] SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() (0.1ms) [Shard: user_shard_1] BEGIN [ActiveRecord::Turntable] Sending method: insert, sql: #, shards: ["user_shard_1"] SQL (0.8ms) [Shard: user_shard_1] INSERT INTO `users` (`created_at`, `id`, `name`, `updated_at`) VALUES ('2012-04-10 03:59:42', 2, 'hoge', '2012-04-10 03:59:42') (0.4ms) [Shard: user_shard_1] COMMIT => # === Retrieve > user = User.find(2) [ActiveRecord::Turntable] Sending method: select_all, sql: #, shards: ["user_shard_1"] User Load (0.3ms) [Shard: user_shard_1] SELECT `users`.* FROM `users` WHERE `users`.`id` = 2 LIMIT 1 => # === Update > user.update_attributes(name: "hogefoo") (0.1ms) [Shard: user_shard_1] BEGIN [ActiveRecord::Turntable] Sending method: update, sql: UPDATE `users` SET `name` = 'hogefoo', `updated_at` = '2012-04-10 04:07:52' WHERE `users`.`id` = 2, shards: ["user_shard_1"] (0.3ms) [Shard: user_shard_1] UPDATE `users` SET `name` = 'hogefoo', `updated_at` = '2012-04-10 04:07:52' WHERE `users`.`id` = 2 (0.8ms) [Shard: user_shard_1] COMMIT => true === Delete > user.destroy (0.2ms) [Shard: user_shard_1] BEGIN [ActiveRecord::Turntable] Sending method: delete, sql: #, shards: ["user_shard_1"] SQL (0.3ms) [Shard: user_shard_1] DELETE FROM `users` WHERE `users`.`id` = 2 (1.7ms) [Shard: user_shard_1] COMMIT => # === Count > User.count [ActiveRecord::Turntable] Sending method: select_value, sql: #, shards: ["user_shard_1", "user_shard_2", "user_shard_3"] (0.8ms) [Shard: user_shard_1] SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `users` (0.3ms) [Shard: user_shard_2] SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `users` (0.2ms) [Shard: user_shard_3] SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `users` => 1 === Sequencer Sequencer provides generating global IDs. Add below to the migration: create_sequence_for(:users) # <-- this line creates sequence table This will creates sequence table. Next, add sequencer to the model: class User < ActiveRecord::Base turntable :id sequencer # <-- this line enables sequencer module has_one :status end === Transaction > user = User.find(2) > user3 = User.create(name: "hoge3") > User.shards_transaction([user, user3]) do > user.name = "hogehoge" > user3.name = "hogehoge3" > user.save! > user3.save! > end === Send query to a specific shard. use with_shard method: AR::Base.connection.with_shard(shard1) do # something queries to shard1 end To access shard objects, use below: * AR::Base.connection.shards # \\{shard_name => shard_obj,....} * AR::Base#turntable_shard * AR::Base.connection.select_shard(shard_key_value) #=> shard === Send query to all shards use with_all method: User.connection.with_all do User.order("created_at DESC").limit(3).all end === Migration If you specify cluster or shard, migration will be executed to the cluster(or shard) and master database. to specify cluster: class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration clusters :user_cluster .... end to specify shard: class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration shards :user_shard_01 .... end if you would like to execute a migration to all databases in the environments, use :all symbol: class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration clusters :all .... end == Connection Management Rails's ConnectionManagement middleware keeps ActiveRecord's connection during the process is alive, but Turntable keeps more connections. This may cause flooding max connections on your database. So, we made a middleware that disconnects on each request. To use turntable's ConnectionManagement middleware, add below line to your initializer. app.middleware.swap ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ConnectionManagement, ActiveRecord::Turntable::Rack::ConnectionManagement == Inability * Queries includes "ORDER BY", "GROUP BY" and "LIMIT" clauses cannot be distributed. * "has many through" and "habtm" relationships causes wrong results. ex) User-Friend-User relation == Thanks to ConnectionProxy, Distributed Migration implementation is inspired by Octopus and DataFabric. == LICENSE Copyright (c) 2012 Drecom Co.,Ltd.
