Hi All,
The are some issues arising in configurations whenever we move up on the
versions(3.3 => 3.4), because of the way we store and interpret them.
Whenever there is a new cluster level, you will need to add a new entry
for all(most) of the configuration. Mostly a copy paste if you see from
3.2 to 3.3, except some CPU/PM type related configurations.
Better option would be to have the defaul config value in
ConfigValues.java and the overrides will go to config.sql. In this
approach you don't need a new entries to config.sql when there is a new
cluster level.
Lets take an exmaple, "SupportForceCreateVG" - This is supported from
3.1 onwards,
If you look at config.sql, you will see following entries
select fn_db_add_config_value('SupportForceCreateVG','false','3.0');
select fn_db_add_config_value('SupportForceCreateVG','true','3.1');
select fn_db_add_config_value('SupportForceCreateVG','true','3.2');
select fn_db_add_config_value('SupportForceCreateVG','true','3.3');
And in ConfigValues.java
@TypeConverterAttribute(Boolean.class)
@DefaultValueAttribute("false")
SupportForceCreateVG,
Now if there is 3.4 and 3.5, the user needs to add 2 more entries, which
i feel is redundant.
Instead we can make
@TypeConverterAttribute(Boolean.class)
@DefaultValueAttribute("true")
SupportForceCreateVG,
and have only the following in config.sql
select fn_db_add_config_value('SupportForceCreateVG','false','3.0');
if a particular value(for a specific cluster level) is not found in
Config.sql, the fallback is to use the value available in ConfigValues.java.
Please share your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Kanagaraj
