JDBC

[JDBC] Found a JtaTransactionManager in spring boot project when integrating with XAtransaction.

Answer:

  1. shardingsphere-transaction-xa-core include atomikos, it will trigger auto-configuration mechanism in spring-boot, add @SpringBootApplication(exclude = JtaAutoConfiguration.class) will solve it.

[JDBC] The tableName and columnName configured in yaml or properties leading incorrect result when loading Oracle metadata?

Answer:

Note that, in Oracle’s metadata, the tableName and columnName is default UPPERCASE, while double-quoted such as CREATE TABLE "TableName"("Id" number) the tableName and columnName is the actual content double-quoted, refer to the following SQL for the reality in metadata:

SELECT OWNER, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE FROM ALL_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME IN ('TableName') 

ShardingSphere uses the OracleTableMetaDataLoader to load the metadata, keep the tableName and columnName in the yaml or properties consistent with the metadata. ShardingSphere assembled the SQL using the following code:

    private String getTableMetaDataSQL(final Collection<String> tables, final DatabaseMetaData metaData) throws SQLException {
        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder(28);
        if (versionContainsIdentityColumn(metaData)) {
            stringBuilder.append(", IDENTITY_COLUMN");
        }
        if (versionContainsCollation(metaData)) {
            stringBuilder.append(", COLLATION");
        }
        String collation = stringBuilder.toString();
        return tables.isEmpty() ? String.format(TABLE_META_DATA_SQL, collation)
                : String.format(TABLE_META_DATA_SQL_IN_TABLES, collation, tables.stream().map(each -> String.format("'%s'", each)).collect(Collectors.joining(",")));
    }

Proxy

[Proxy] In Windows environment, could not find or load main class org.apache.shardingsphere.proxy.Bootstrap, how to solve it?

Answer:

Some decompression tools may truncate the file name when decompressing the ShardingSphere-Proxy binary package, resulting in some classes not being found. The solutions: Open cmd.exe and execute the following command:

tar zxvf apache-shardingsphere-${RELEASE.VERSION}-shardingsphere-proxy-bin.tar.gz

[Proxy] How to add a new logic database dynamically when use ShardingSphere-Proxy?

Answer:

When using ShardingSphere-Proxy, users can dynamically create or drop logic database through DistSQL, the syntax is as follows:

CREATE DATABASE [IF NOT EXISTS] databaseName;
DROP DATABASE [IF EXISTS] databaseName;

Example:

CREATE DATABASE sharding_db;
DROP DATABASE sharding_db;

[Proxy] How to use suitable database tools connecting ShardingSphere-Proxy?

Answer:

  1. ShardingSphere-Proxy could be considered as a MySQL server, so we recommend using MySQL command line tool to connect to and operate it.
  2. If users would like to use a third-party database tool, there may be some errors cause of the certain implementation/options.
  3. The currently tested third-party database tools are as follows:
    • Navicat: 11.1.13, 15.0.20.
    • DataGrip: 2020.1, 2021.1 (turn on “introspect using jdbc metadata” in idea or datagrip).
    • WorkBench: 8.0.25.

[Proxy] When using a client such as Navicat to connect to ShardingSphere-Proxy, if ShardingSphere-Proxy does not create a database or does not add a resource, the client connection will fail?

Answer:

  1. Third-party database tools will send some SQL query metadata when connecting to ShardingSphere-Proxy. When ShardingSphere-Proxy does not create a Database or does not add a Storage Unit, ShardingSphere-Proxy cannot execute SQL.
  2. It is recommended to create database and storage unit first, and then use third-party database tools to connect.
  3. Please refer to Related introduction the details about storage unit.

Sharding

[Sharding] How to solve Cloud not resolve placeholder … in string value … error?

Answer:

${...} or $->{...} can be used in inline expression identifiers, but the former one clashes with place holders in Spring property files, so $->{...} is recommended to be used in Spring as inline expression identifiers.

[Sharding] Why does float number appear in the return result of inline expression?

Answer:

The division result of Java integers is also integer, but in Groovy syntax of inline expression, the division result of integers is float number. To obtain integer division result, A/B needs to be modified as A.intdiv(B).

[Sharding] If sharding database is partial, should tables without sharding database & table configured in sharding rules?

Answer:

No, ShardingSphere will recognize it automatically.

[Sharding] When generic Long type SingleKeyTableShardingAlgorithm is used, why does the ClassCastException: Integer can not cast to Long exception appear?

Answer:

You must make sure the field in the database table is consistent with that in the sharding algorithms. For example, the field type in database is int(11) and the sharding type corresponds to genetic type is Integer. If you want to configure Long type, please make sure the field type in the database is bigint.

[Sharding\PROXY] When implementing the StandardShardingAlgorithm custom algorithm, the specific type of Comparable is specified as Long, and the field type in the database table is bigint, a ClassCastException: Integer can not cast to Long exception occurs.

Answer:

When implementing the doSharding method, it is not recommended to specify the specific type of Comparable in the method declaration, but to convert the type in the implementation of the doSharding method. You can refer to the ModShardingAlgorithm#doSharding method.

[Sharding] Why is the default distributed auto-augment key strategy provided by ShardingSphere not continuous and most of them end with even numbers?

Answer:

ShardingSphere uses snowflake algorithms as the default distributed auto-augment key strategy to make sure unrepeated and decentralized auto-augment sequence is generated under the distributed situations. Therefore, auto-augment keys can be incremental but not continuous. But the last four numbers of snowflake algorithm are incremental value within one millisecond. Thus, if concurrency degree in one millisecond is not high, the last four numbers are likely to be zero, which explains why the rate of even end number is higher. In 3.1.0 version, the problem of ending with even numbers has been totally solved, please refer to: https://github.com/apache/shardingsphere/issues/1617

[Sharding] How to allow range query with using inline sharding strategy (BETWEEN AND, >, <, >=, <=)?

Answer:

  1. Update to 4.1.0 above.
  2. Configure(A tip here: then each range query will be broadcast to every sharding table):
  • Version 4.x: allow.range.query.with.inline.sharding to true (Default value is false).
  • Version 5.x: allow-range-query-with-inline-sharding to true in InlineShardingStrategy (Default value is false).

[Sharding] Why does my custom distributed primary key do not work after implementing KeyGenerateAlgorithm interface and configuring type property?

Answer:

Service Provider Interface (SPI) is a kind of API for the third party to implement or expand. Except implementing interface, you also need to create a corresponding file in META-INF/services to make the JVM load these SPI implementations. More detail for SPI usage, please search by yourself. Other ShardingSphere functionality implementation will take effect in the same way.

[Sharding] In addition to internal distributed primary key, does ShardingSphere support other native auto-increment keys?

Answer:

Yes. But there is restriction to the use of native auto-increment keys, which means they cannot be used as sharding keys at the same time. Since ShardingSphere does not have the database table structure and native auto-increment key is not included in original SQL, it cannot parse that field to the sharding field. If the auto-increment key is not sharding key, it can be returned normally and is needless to be cared. But if the auto-increment key is also used as sharding key, ShardingSphere cannot parse its sharding value, which will make SQL routed to multiple tables and influence the rightness of the application. The premise for returning native auto-increment key is that INSERT SQL is eventually routed to one table. Therefore, auto-increment key will return zero when INSERT SQL returns multiple tables.

Encryption

[Encryption] How to solve that data encryption can’t work with JPA?

Answer:

Because DDL for data encryption has not yet finished, JPA Entity cannot meet the DDL and DML at the same time, when JPA that automatically generates DDL is used with data encryption. The solutions are as follows:

  1. Create JPA Entity with logicColumn which needs to encrypt.
  2. Disable JPA auto-ddl, For example setting auto-ddl=none.
  3. Create table manually. Table structure should use cipherColumn and assistedQueryColumn to replace the logicColumn.

DistSQL

[DistSQL] How to set custom JDBC connection properties or connection pool properties when adding a data source using DistSQL?

Answer:

  1. If you need to customize JDBC connection properties, please take the urlSource way to define dataSource.
  2. ShardingSphere presets necessary connection pool properties, such as maxPoolSize, idleTimeout, etc. If you need to add or overwrite the properties, please specify it with PROPERTIES in the dataSource.
  3. Please refer to Related introduction for above rules.

[DistSQL] How to solve Resource [xxx] is still used by [SingleTableRule]. exception when dropping a data source using DistSQL?

Answer:

  1. Resources referenced by rules cannot be deleted
  2. If the resource is only referenced by single table rule, and the user confirms that the restriction can be ignored, the optional parameter ignore single tables can be added to perform forced deletion
UNREGISTER STORAGE UNIT storageUnitName [, storageUnitName] ... [ignore single tables]

[DistSQL] How to solve Failed to get driver instance for jdbcURL=xxx. exception when adding a data source using DistSQL?

Answer:

ShardingSphere Proxy do not have jdbc driver during deployment. Some example of this include mysql-connector. To use it otherwise following syntax can be used:

REGISTER STORAGE UNIT storageUnit [..., storageUnit]

Other

[Other] How to debug when SQL can not be executed rightly in ShardingSphere?

Answer:

sql.show configuration is provided in ShardingSphere-Proxy and post-1.5.0 version of ShardingSphere-JDBC, enabling the context parsing, rewritten SQL and the routed data source printed to info log. sql.show configuration is off in default, and users can turn it on in configurations. A Tip: Property sql.show has changed to sql-show in version 5.x.

[Other] Why do some compiling errors appear? Why did not the IDEA index the generated codes?

Answer:

ShardingSphere uses lombok to enable minimal coding. For more details about using and installment, please refer to the official website of lombok. The codes under the package org.apache.shardingsphere.sql.parser.autogen are generated by ANTLR. You may execute the following command to generate codes:

./mvnw -Dcheckstyle.skip=true -Drat.skip=true -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -Djacoco.skip=true -DskipITs -DskipTests install -T1C 

The generated codes such as org.apache.shardingsphere.sql.parser.autogen.PostgreSQLStatementParser may be too large to be indexed by the IDEA. You may configure the IDEA’s property idea.max.intellisense.filesize=10000.

[Other] In SQLSever and PostgreSQL, why does the aggregation column without alias throw exception?

Answer:

SQLServer and PostgreSQL will rename aggregation columns acquired without alias, such as the following SQL:

SELECT SUM(num), SUM(num2) FROM tablexxx;

Columns acquired by SQLServer are empty string and (2); columns acquired by PostgreSQL are empty sum and sum(2). It will cause error because ShardingSphere is unable to find the corresponding column. The right SQL should be written as:

SELECT SUM(num) AS sum_num, SUM(num2) AS sum_num2 FROM tablexxx;

[Other] Why does Oracle database throw “Order by value must implements Comparable” exception when using Timestamp Order By?

Answer:

There are two solutions for the above problem: 1. Configure JVM parameter “-oracle.jdbc.J2EE13Compliant=true” 2. Set System.getProperties().setProperty(“oracle.jdbc.J2EE13Compliant”, “true”) codes in the initialization of the project. Reasons: org.apache.shardingsphere.sharding.merge.dql.orderby.OrderByValue#getOrderValues():

    private List<Comparable<?>> getOrderValues() throws SQLException {
        List<Comparable<?>> result = new ArrayList<>(orderByItems.size());
        for (OrderByItem each : orderByItems) {
            Object value = queryResult.getValue(each.getIndex(), Object.class);
            Preconditions.checkState(null == value || value instanceof Comparable, "Order by value must implements Comparable");
            result.add((Comparable<?>) value);
        }
        return result;
    }

After using resultSet.getObject(int index), for TimeStamp oracle, the system will decide whether to return java.sql.TimeStamp or define oralce.sql.TIMESTAMP according to the property of oracle.jdbc.J2EE13Compliant. See oracle.jdbc.driver.TimestampAccessor#getObject(int var1) method in ojdbc codes for more detail:

    Object getObject(int var1) throws SQLException {
        Object var2 = null;
        if(this.rowSpaceIndicator == null) {
            DatabaseError.throwSqlException(21);
        }
        if(this.rowSpaceIndicator[this.indicatorIndex + var1] != -1) {
            if(this.externalType != 0) {
                switch(this.externalType) {
                case 93:
                    return this.getTimestamp(var1);
                default:
                    DatabaseError.throwSqlException(4);
                    return null;
                }
            }
            if(this.statement.connection.j2ee13Compliant) {
                var2 = this.getTimestamp(var1);
            } else {
                var2 = this.getTIMESTAMP(var1);
            }
        }
        return var2;
    }

[Other] In Windows environment,when cloning ShardingSphere source code through Git, why prompt filename too long and how to solve it?

Answer:

To ensure the readability of source code,the ShardingSphere Coding Specification requires that the naming of classes,methods and variables be literal and avoid abbreviations,which may result in some source files have long names. Since the Git version of Windows is compiled using msys,it uses the old version of Windows Api,limiting the file name to no more than 260 characters. The solutions are as follows: Open cmd.exe (you need to add git to environment variables) and execute the following command to allow git supporting log paths:

git config --global core.longpaths true

If we use windows 10, also need enable win32 log paths in registry editor or group strategy(need reboot):

Create the registry key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem LongPathsEnabled (Type: REG_DWORD) in registry editor, and be set to 1. Or click “setting” button in system menu, print “Group Policy” to open a new window “Edit Group Policy”, and then click ‘Computer Configuration’ > ‘Administrative Templates’ > ‘System’ > ‘Filesystem’, and then turn on ‘Enable Win32 long paths’ option.

[Other] How to solve Type is required error?

Answer:

In Apache ShardingSphere, many functionality implementation are uploaded through SPI, such as Distributed Primary Key. These functions load SPI implementation by configuring the type, so the type must be specified in the configuration file.

[Other] How to speed up the metadata loading when service starts up?

Answer:

  1. Update to 4.0.1 above, which helps speed up the process of loading table metadata.
  2. Configure:
  • max.connections.size.per.query(Default value is 1) higher referring to connection pool you adopt(Version >= 3.0.0.M3 & Version < 5.0.0).
  • max-connections-size-per-query(Default value is 1) higher referring to connection pool you adopt(Version >= 5.0.0).

[Other] The ANTLR plugin generates codes in the same level directory as src, which is easy to commit by mistake. How to avoid it?

Answer:

Goto Settings -> Languages & Frameworks -> ANTLR v4 default project settings and configure the output directory of the generated code as target/gen as shown: Configure ANTLR plugin

[Other] Why is the database sharding result not correct when using Proxool?

Answer:

When using Proxool to configure multiple data sources, each one of them should be configured with alias. It is because Proxool would check whether existing alias is included in the connection pool or not when acquiring connections, so without alias, each connection will be acquired from the same data source. The followings are core codes from ProxoolDataSource getConnection method in Proxool:

    if(!ConnectionPoolManager.getInstance().isPoolExists(this.alias)) {
        this.registerPool();
    }

For more alias usages, please refer to Proxool official website.
