mode-set

Overview

Sets all ColumnStore nodes to read-only or read-write

See CMAPI for detail on REST API endpoint, required headers, and other available actions.

DETAILS

Upon successful mode-set call CMAPI re-configures MariaDB Enterprise ColumnStore to the designated mode, either read-only or read/write operation.

Call made via HTTPS PUT, with authentication via shared secret using the x-api-key header.

JSON data required for this call:

Key

Value

timeout

Maximum time in seconds to wait for completion of mode-set operation

mode

Accepted values: readonly for read-only, readwrite for read/write.

Bash aliases mcsReadOnly and mcsReadWrite are available starting with Enterprise ColumnStore 5.5.2.

EXAMPLES

Executing cURL Manually

CMAPI calls can be made from the command-line using cURL.

Replace the CMAPI_API_KEY and sample data in the following example:

$ curl -k -s -X PUT https://mcs1:8640/cmapi/0.4.0/cluster/mode-set \
   --header 'Content-Type:application/json' \
   --header 'x-api-key:<CMAPI_API_KEY>' \
   --data '{"timeout": 20, "mode": "readwrite"}' \
   | jq .

In this example, jq produces human-readable output from the returned JSON response.

Executing the Bash Aliases

Starting with Enterprise ColumnStore 5.5.2, if your bash shell is configured to source the columnstoreAlias shell script, this command can be executed using the mcsReadOnly and mcsReadWrite aliases. The alias executes curl and jq, so both programs must be installed on the system.

The aliases automatically retrieve the IP address for the primary node using the mcsGetConfig command. The aliases automatically retrieve the API key by reading /etc/columnstore/cmapi_server.conf.

To set the deployment's mode to read-only:

$ mcsReadOnly

To set the deployment's mode to read-write:

$ mcsReadWrite

These aliases use jq produces human-readable output from the returned JSON response.
