Detailed Description

Represents the NDB kernel and is the main class of the NDB API.

Always start your application program by creating an Ndb object. By using several Ndb objects it is possible to design a multi-threaded application, but note that Ndb objects cannot be shared by several threads. Different threads should use different Ndb objects. A thread might however use multiple Ndb objects. Currently there is a limit of maximum 128 Ndb objects per application process.

Note: It is not allowed to call methods in the NDB API on the same Ndb object in different threads simultaneously (without special handling of the Ndb object).; The Ndb object is multi-thread safe in the following manner. Each Ndb object can ONLY be handled in one thread. If an Ndb object is handed over to another thread then the application must ensure that a memory barrier is used to ensure that the new thread see all updates performed by the previous thread. Semaphores, mutexes and so forth are easy ways of issuing memory barriers without having to bother about the memory barrier concept.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum Ndb::TamperType

Enumerator:

LockGlbChp	Lock GCP.
UnlockGlbChp	Unlock GCP.
CrashNode	Crash an NDB node.
ReadRestartGCI	Request the restart GCI id from NDB Cluster.
InsertError	Execute an error in NDB Cluster (may crash system)

Definition at line 1659 of file Ndb.hpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Ndb::Ndb	(	Ndb_cluster_connection *	ndb_cluster_connection,
		const char *	aCatalogName = `""`,
		const char *	aSchemaName = `"def"`
	)

The Ndb object represents a connection to a database.

Note: The init() method must be called before the Ndb object may actually be used.

Parameters

ndb_cluster_connection	is a connection to the cluster containing the database to be used
aCatalogName	is the name of the catalog to be used.

Note: The catalog name provides a namespace for the tables and indexes created in any connection from the Ndb object.

Parameters

aSchemaName is the name of the schema you want to use.

Note: The schema name provides an additional namespace for the tables and indexes created in a given catalog.

Member Function Documentation

void Ndb::closeTransaction ( NdbTransaction * aConnection )

Close a transaction.

Note: should be called after the transaction has completed, irrespective of success or failure; It is not allowed to call Ndb::closeTransaction after sending the transaction asynchronously with either Ndb::sendPreparedTransactions or Ndb::sendPollNdb before the callback method has been called. (The application should keep track of the number of outstanding transactions and wait until all of them has completed before calling Ndb::closeTransaction). If the transaction is not committed it will be aborted.

When a SCAN timed-out, returning the NdbTransaction leads to reuse. And TC crashes when the API tries to reuse it to something else...

Something timed-out, returning the NdbTransaction leads to reuse. And TC crashes when the API tries to reuse it to something else...

NOTE: It's ok to call getNodeSequence() here wo/ having mutex,

Put it back in idle list for that node

Definition at line 1988 of file Ndb.cpp.

bool Ndb::isConsistentGCI ( Uint64 gci )

Parameters

aGCI	the GCI to check

Returns: true if GCI is consistent, false if possible inconsistency

Definition at line 1994 of file Ndb.cpp.

NdbEventOperation * Ndb::nextEvent ( )

Returns an event operation that has data after a pollEvents

Returns: an event operations that has data, NULL if no events left with data.

Definition at line 1982 of file Ndb.cpp.

int Ndb::pollEvents	(	int	aMillisecondNumber,
		Uint64 *	latestGCI = `0`
	)

Wait for an event to occur. Will return as soon as an event is detected on any of the created events.

Parameters

aMillisecondNumber maximum time to wait

Returns: > 0 if events available, 0 if no events available, < 0 on failure

Definition at line 1968 of file Ndb.cpp.

int Ndb::pollNdb	(	int	aMillisecondNumber = `WAITFOR_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT`,
		int	minNoOfEventsToWakeup = `1`
	)

Wait for prepared transactions. Will return as soon as at least 'minNoOfEventsToWakeUp' of them have completed, or the maximum time given as timeout has passed.

Parameters

aMillisecondNumber	Maximum time to wait for transactions to complete. Polling without wait is achieved by setting the timer to zero. Time is expressed in milliseconds.
minNoOfEventsToWakeup	Minimum number of transactions which has to wake up before the poll-call will return. If minNoOfEventsToWakeup is set to a value larger than 1 then this is the minimum number of transactions that need to complete before the poll will return. Setting it to zero means that one should wait for all outstanding transactions to return before waking up.

Returns: Number of transactions polled.

Definition at line 1359 of file Ndbif.cpp.

int Ndb::sendPollNdb	(	int	aMillisecondNumber = `WAITFOR_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT`,
		int	minNoOfEventsToWakeup = `1`,
		int	forceSend = `0`
	)

This is a send-poll variant that first calls Ndb::sendPreparedTransactions and then Ndb::pollNdb. It is however somewhat faster than calling the methods separately, since some mutex-operations are avoided. See documentation of Ndb::pollNdb and Ndb::sendPreparedTransactions for more details.

Parameters

aMillisecondNumber	Timeout specifier Polling without wait is achieved by setting the millisecond timer to zero.
minNoOfEventsToWakeup	Minimum number of transactions which has to wake up before the poll-call will return. If minNoOfEventsToWakeup is set to a value larger than 1 then this is the minimum number of transactions that need to complete before the poll-call will return. Setting it to zero means that one should wait for all outstanding transactions to return before waking up.
forceSend	When operations should be sent to NDB Kernel. (See Adaptive Send Algorithm.) 0: non-force, adaptive algorithm notices it (default); 1: force send, adaptive algorithm notices it; 2: non-force, adaptive algorithm does not notice the send.

Returns: Number of transactions polled.

Definition at line 1315 of file Ndbif.cpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

void Ndb::sendPreparedTransactions ( int forceSend = 0 )

This send method will send all prepared database operations. The default method is to do it non-force and instead use the adaptive algorithm. (See Section Adaptive Send Algorithm.) The second option is to force the sending and finally there is the third alternative which is also non-force but also making sure that the adaptive algorithm do not notice the send. In this case the sending will be performed on a cyclical 10 millisecond event.

Parameters

forceSend

When operations should be sent to NDB Kernel. (See Adaptive Send Algorithm.)

0: non-force, adaptive algorithm notices it (default);
1: force send, adaptive algorithm notices it;
2: non-force, adaptive algorithm do not notice the send.
