Retrying Failed Reads with MaxScale's Read/Write Split Router

The Read/Write Split Router (readwritesplit) routes write queries to the primary server and load balances read-only queries between one or more replica servers. If a read-only query fails, then the router can retry the query on a different server.

Configuring Retries for Failed Reads

1. Configure retries for failed reads by configuring the retry_failed_reads parameter for the Read/Write Split Router in maxscale.cnf.

For example:

1. Restart the MaxScale instance.
