Overview
This page details step 2 of the 3-step procedure "Deploy Spider Federated Topology".
This step configures the Spider Node and Data Node and creates the Spider Table and Data Table.
Interactive commands are detailed. Alternatively, the described operations can be performed using automation.
Create Spider User
The data node requires a user account that the Spider Node uses to connect.
On the Data Node, create the Spider user account for the Spider Node using the CREATE USER statement:
CREATE USER spider_user@192.0.2.1 IDENTIFIED BY "password";
Privileges will be granted to the user account in Grant Privileges on the Data Table.
Test Spider User
On the Spider Node, confirm that the Spider user account can connect to the Data Node using MariaDB Client:
$ mariadb --user spider_user --host 192.0.2.2 --password
Configure Connection Details
The Spider Node requires connection details for the Data Node.
On the Spider Node, create a server object to configure the connection details for the Data Node using the CREATE SERVER statement:
CREATE SERVER hq_server
FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER mariadb
OPTIONS (
HOST "192.0.2.2",
PORT 5801,
USER "spider_user",
PASSWORD "password",
DATABASE "hq_sales"
);
The Data Node runs MariaDB Enterprise Server, so the FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER
is set to mariadb
.
Using a server object for connection details is optional. Alternatively, the connection details for the Data Node can be specified in the COMMENT
table option of the CREATE TABLE statement when creating the Spider Table.
Create the Data Table
When queries read and write to a Spider Table, Spider reads and writes to the Data Table on the Data Node. The Data Table must be created on the Data Node with the same structure as the Spider Table.
If your Data Table already exists, grant privileges on the table to the Spider user.
On the Data Node, create the Data Table:
CREATE DATABASE hq_sales;
CREATE SEQUENCE hq_sales.invoice_seq;
CREATE TABLE hq_sales.invoices (
branch_id INT NOT NULL DEFAULT (1) CHECK (branch_id=1),
invoice_id INT NOT NULL DEFAULT (NEXT VALUE FOR hq_sales.invoice_seq),
customer_id INT,
invoice_date DATETIME(6),
invoice_total DECIMAL(13, 2),
payment_method ENUM('NONE', 'CASH', 'WIRE_TRANSFER', 'CREDIT_CARD', 'GIFT_CARD'),
PRIMARY KEY(branch_id, invoice_id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
INSERT INTO hq_sales.invoices
(customer_id, invoice_date, invoice_total, payment_method)
VALUES
(1, '2020-05-10 12:35:10', 1087.23, 'CREDIT_CARD'),
(2, '2020-05-10 14:17:32', 1508.57, 'WIRE_TRANSFER'),
(3, '2020-05-10 14:25:16', 227.15, 'CASH');
The Spider Node reads and writes to the Data Table using the server and user account configured in "Configure Connection Details". The user account must have privileges on the tables.
Grant Privileges
The Spider Node connects to the Data Node with the user account configured in "Create Spider User".
On the Data Node, grant the Spider user sufficient privileges to operate on the Data Table:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON hq_sales.invoices TO 'spider_user'@'192.0.2.1';
Privileges for Spider BKA Mode
By default, the Spider user also requires the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES privilege on the database containing the Data Table. The CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES privilege is required, because Spider uses temporary tables to optimize read queries when Spider BKA Mode is 1
.
Spider BKA Mode is configured using the following methods:
The session value is configured by setting the spider_
bka_ system variable on the Spider Node. The default value ismode -1
. When the session value is-1
, the value for each Spider Table is used.The value for each Spider Table is configured by setting the
bka_mode
option in theCOMMENT
table option. When thebka_mode
option is not set, the implicit value is1
.
The default spider_-1
, and the implicit Spider Table value is 1
, so the default Spider BKA Mode is 1
.
On the Data Node, grant the Spider user the CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES privilege on the database:
GRANT CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON hq_sales.* TO 'spider_user'@'192.0.2.1';
Create the Spider Table
The Spider Table must be created on the Spider Node with the same structure as the Data Table.
On the Spider Node, create the Spider Table and reference the Data Node in the COMMENT
table option:
CREATE DATABASE spider_hq_sales;
CREATE TABLE spider_hq_sales.invoices (
branch_id INT NOT NULL,
invoice_id INT NOT NULL,
customer_id INT,
invoice_date DATETIME(6),
invoice_total DECIMAL(13, 2),
payment_method ENUM('NONE', 'CASH', 'WIRE_TRANSFER', 'CREDIT_CARD', 'GIFT_CARD'),
PRIMARY KEY(branch_id, invoice_id)
) ENGINE=Spider
COMMENT='server "hq_server", table "invoices"';
The COMMENT
table option is used to configure the Data Node and the Data Table. Set the server
option to the server object configured in "Configure Connection Details". Set the table
option to the Data Table.
An alternative syntax is available. When you don't want to create a server object, the connection details for the Data Node can be specified in the COMMENT
table option:
CREATE TABLE spider_hq_sales.invoices_alternate (
branch_id INT NOT NULL,
invoice_id INT NOT NULL,
customer_id INT,
invoice_date DATETIME(6),
invoice_total DECIMAL(13, 2),
payment_method ENUM('NONE', 'CASH', 'WIRE_TRANSFER', 'CREDIT_CARD', 'GIFT_CARD'),
PRIMARY KEY(branch_id, invoice_id)
) ENGINE=Spider
COMMENT='table "invoices", host "192.0.2.2", port "5801", user "spider_user", password "user_password", database "hq_sales"';
